Being vegan is easy. Are there social pressures that encourage you to
continue to eat, wear, and use animal
products? Of course there are. But
in a patriarchal, racist, homophobic,
and ableist society, there are social
pressures to participate and engage
in sexism, racism, homophobia, and
ableism.

Racism quotations
Parents and schools should place
great emphasis on the idea that it is
all right to be different. Racism and
all the other isms grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility
against those of another tribe, race,
religion, nationality, class or whatever.
You are a lucky child if your parents
taught you to accept diversity.
Thurgood Marshall
Roger Ebert
Racism springs from the lie that certain human beings are less than fully
human. Its a self-centered falsehood
that corrupts our minds into believing we are right to treat others as we
would not want to be treated.

Racism quotations
We are never racist against somebody who is very far away. I dont
know any racism against the Eskimos.
To have a racist feeling, there must
be an other who is slightly different
from us - but is living close to us.
Violence and racism are bad. Whenever they occur they are to be condemned and we should not turn a
blind eye to them.
Umberto Eco
Cate Blanchett
I was the only white kid in my neighborhood for most of my youth even in
high school, so reverse racism was just
as apparent as racism.

The police can go to downtown Harlem and pick up a kid with a joint in
the streets. But they cant go into the
elegant apartments and get a stockbroker whos sniffing cocaine.
Racism quotations
The new racism: Racism without racists. Today, racial segregation and division often result from habits, policies,
and institutions that are not explicitly
designed to discriminate. Contrary to
popular belief, discrimination or segregation do not require animus. They
thrive even in the absence of prejudice or ill will.
Noam Chomsky
Eduardo Bonilla-Silva
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the
oppressor. If an elephant has its foot
on the tail of a mouse, and you say
that you are neutral, the mouse will
not appreciate your neutrality.
Things like racism are institutionalized. You might not know any bigots.
You feel like Well, I dont hate Black
people so Im not a racist, but you
benefit from racism.The opportunities that you have, youre privileged in
ways that you might not even realize
because you havent been deprived of
certain things.

Bob Marley
Eva Paterson
If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too.
And if parents snicker at racial and
gender jokes, another generation will
pass on the poison adults still have
not had the courage to snuff out.
