A Quote by Jesmyn Ward

In the South, there is more overt racism. It's more willfully ignorant and brazen. But it's not as if by moving I'm going to be able to escape institutionalized racism. It's not as though my life won't be twisted and impacted by racism anymore. It will.

The racism in South Asia is the most specific racism in the world. It's like racism against a slightly different language group. It's like micro-racism.

Riz Ahmed

Racism hasn't been an everyday thing in my life, overt racism. There is obviously structural differences, but hate? I've not really had that.

Wunmi Mosaku

When a black man is stopped by a cop for no apparent reason, that is covert racism. When a black woman shops in a fancy store and is followed by security guards, that is covert racism. It is more subtle than 1960s racism, but it is still racism.

Bob Beckel

I think it's cultural racism more than anything, which dovetails with actual racism, but the cultural racism to me is even more shocking.

Hilton Als

I think that racism has gotten more subtle, and it's not even racism anymore: it's placism. Like where you live or whether you went to community college or Harvard, and it exists within the race.

Esai Morales

We tend to think of racism as this interpersonal verbal or physical abuse, when in truth, that is only one way that racism manifests itself. The reality of contemporary racism is that it while it is ubiquitous, it is often invisible, subsequently making it more difficult to name and identify.

Clint Smith

Colorblind racism is the new racial music most people dance to, the 'new racism' is subtle, institutionalized and seemingly nonracial.

Eduardo Bonilla-Silva

And what is the Republican solution to these outrageous [racial] inequalities? There isn't one. And that's the point. Denying racism is the new racism. To not acknowledge those statistics, to think of that as a 'black problem' and not an American problem. To believe, as a majority of FOX viewers do, that reverse-racism is a bigger problem than racism, that's racist.

Bill Maher

First there was racism. Then liberals created institutional racism and coded racism. You can only hear it with a dog whistle.

Evan Sayet

I've seen and always been extremely aware of racism... casual racism, serious racism... all of that.

Sayani Gupta

There's a difference between racism and "I don't know any better. I'm clueless." Racism is like, "I'm trying to make you feel bad." That's racism.

Chris Rock

You cannot be responsible for Jim Crow. You can not be responsible for racism. This is much more a problem for the person exercising racism.You are confronted with the reality of racism when you go in the streets, when the eyes of others come upon you. [James] Baldwin goes back with you to all the experiences you went through and gives a name to them, and explains why it is like this.

Raoul Peck

If one lives in a country where racism is held valid and practiced in all ways of life eventually, no matter whether one is a racist or a victim, one comes to feel the absurdity of life....Racism generated from whites is first of all absurd. Racism creates absurdity among blacks as a defense mechanism.

Chester Himes

I think that there's more jealousy in sports than racism, really. I think racism exists in the works, but when I faced racism in hockey, a lot of times from jealousy, because when I was young, I was always one of the better players. And I think a lot of people were threatened by that.

P.K. Subban

Racism is like a horror movie. Black kids die because of racism. I don't know what's more horrifying than that.

Daniel Kaluuya

There's a difference between racism and people making a joke about something. There is true racism going on, and people should be able to identify what that is, comparatively.

Chelsea Handler
