Terry Pratchett Quotes

We would like to get to a point in our society where people really are colorblind and this message would not have to be told anymore. Unfortunately, we're not there yet.

I think we shall have ceased to be a racially divided society only when we stop making a fuss about colour.

You cannot look at a person and judge him or her by the color of their skin.

Look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin.

Be nice to the whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.

I remember as a boy when the conversation on civil rights was won in the South. I remember a time when one of my friends made a racist joke and another said, 'Hey man, we don't go for that anymore.'

It's a great day in America when white people, black people and Latinos can all come together and pick on another minority.

I don't think because I hang out with enough black people, I'm gonna turn black. What kind of rationalization is that? I'm just friends with people that I like. I don't care what skin color you are.

I've never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.

In closing I wish to say that while I was sorely beset by a number of white riders in my racing days, I have also enjoyed the friendship of countless thousands of white men whom I class as among my closest friends.

I don't believe in blanket statements on race.

And my point was one I think that you'd agree with, which is there's no room in America for a black racist, a Latino racist, or a white racist, or an Asian racist, or a Native American racist. Now, we're either color blind or we're not color blind.

Of course, it's fun to play with Blacks.

I am willing to compete on my merits and on my character - not with the color of my skin. We talk about being a color-blind society, but I don't think the political process could actually handle that.

There have been very few societies which are multi-racial and knew any degree of peace.

To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color, is like living in Alaska and being against snow.

People don't want to be thought of as racists ... all polls tend to over-report tolerance.

Whoever foments and spreads antagonism and hate between the races, sins against humanity.

Racist means thinking more highly of another, being superior to another. I don't feel better or superior - white, black, yellow, all the same.

What I remember about race relations in the 1990s is that you showed your awareness by saying you didn't see race, that you were colour-blind.

At the end of the day, if you're not against racism, you're racist.

Unfortunately, I don't know many black people.
