Too often fear has been used to keep us apart. It’s the fear of the unknown. That’s what segregation created and built up over time. We spent so much time hating each other that we never stopped to realize that most black people and white people just want the same things in life. | |
Now that we’re no longer legally separated by race, we’re separated by money. So we still don’t live together; we still don’t get to see the best qualities we each have to offer. | |
— Charles Barkley | |
From his book: “Who’s Afraid Of A Large Black Man?“ | |
