Castes Quotes - Page 5

• I refused to teach Sunday school. When Archdeacon Henry Phillips, my last rector, died, I flatly refused again to join any church or sign any church creed. From my 30th year on I have increasingly regarded the church as an institution which defended such evils as slavery, color caste, exploitation of labor and war.

• Loyalism, or Unionism, or Protestantism, or whatever you want to call it, in Northern Ireland - it operates not as a class system, but a caste system.

• For never has there been, in modern times, such a Homeric world, where so much value is pinned onto the utterance of name! Entire conversations, entire lives, are devoted to the act of naming people, and in Pakistan the affluent would be totally devoid of talk if they were unable to take names in vain. Caste and all its subclassifications are recreated every day in the structure of a conversation that knows which names to name.

• Rescatar a los banqueros y arruinar a los maestros - seguiremos enseñandoNunca seguiré el ejemplo de quienes excluyen a los niños que más necesitan educación para que mis preciados resultados suban. Nunca me alinearé con aquellos cuya idea de reforma es la sutil segregación de los pobres y desesperados. No quiero formar parte del sistema de castas estadounidense.

• Holi, the spring carnival, when members of all castes mingle and let down their hair, sprinkling one another with cascades of red powder and liquid, symbolic of the blood that was probably used in past centuries.

• Was there ever a sillier thing before in the world than what I saw in Malabar country? The poor Pariah is not allowed to pass through the same street as the high-caste man, but if he changes his name to a hodge-podge English name, it is all right; or to a Mohammedan name, it is all right.

• "Aprende el buen conocimiento con toda devoción de la casta más baja. Aprende el camino a la libertad, aunque venga de un Paria, sirviéndole. Si una mujer es una joya, tómala en matrimonio aunque provenga de una familia de la casta más baja". Tal es la ley establecida por nuestro gran e incomparable legislador, el divino Manu.

• We have avoided in recent years talking openly and honestly about race out of fear that it will alienate and polarize. In my own view, it’s our refusal to deal openly and honestly with race that leads us to keep repeating these cycles of exclusion and division, and rebirthing a caste-like system that we claim we’ve left behind

• ...El Tribunal ...[reconoce]...la persistencia de la desigualdad racial y el reconocimiento por parte de la mayoría de la autoridad del Congreso para actuar afirmativamente, no sólo para poner fin a la discriminación, sino también para contrarrestar los efectos persistentes de la discriminación. Esos efectos, reflejo de un sistema de castas raciales [segregación legal y discriminación] al que sólo se ha puesto fin recientemente, son evidentes en nuestros lugares de trabajo, mercados y vecindarios. Solicitantes de empleo con currículos, cualificaciones y estilos de entrevista idénticos siguen siendo recibidos de forma diferente en función de su raza.

• Maxon, this is my gift to you. I promise I will make every effort to see these girls through your eyes. Not the eyes of a queen, or the eyes of your mother, but yours. Even if the girl you choose is of a very low caste, even if others think she has no value, I will always listen to your reasons for wanting her. And I will do my best to support your choice.

• We must realize that violence is not confined to physical violence. Fear is violence, caste discrimination is violence, exploitation of others, however subtle, is violence, segregation is violence, thinking ill of others and condemning others are violence. In order to reduce individual acts of physical violence, we must work to eliminate violence at all levels, mental, verbal, personal, and social, including violence to animals, plants, and all other forms of life.

• El hombre trata a la mujer como si fuera de su propiedad y no como un ser capaz de tener sentimientos, como él mismo. La forma en que el hombre trata a la mujer es mucho peor que la forma en que los terratenientes tratan a los sirvientes y los de casta alta tratan a los de casta baja. Éstos las tratan de forma tan degradante sólo en situaciones que les afectan mutuamente; pero los hombres las tratan cruelmente y como esclavas, desde su nacimiento hasta su muerte.

• I worship impersonal Nature, which is neither "good" or "bad", and who knows neither love nor hatred. I worship Life; the Sun, Sustainer of life. I believe in the Law of everlasting struggle, which is the law of life, and in the duty of the best specimens of our race - the natural élite of mankind - to rule the earth, and evolve out of themselves a caste of supermen, a people 'like unto the Gods'.

• All religions are equal to me. And all castes and creeds are dear to me. But though I appreciate all `isms,' religions and political parties for the many good things they seek to achieve, I do not and cannot belong to any of these `isms,' religions or political parties, for the Absolute Truth, while equally including them, transcends all of them and leaves no room for separative divisions which are all equally false.

• If we want to do more than just end mass incarceration—if we want to put an end to the history of racial caste in America—we must lay down our racial bribes, join hands with people of all colors who are not content to wait for change to trickle down, and say to those who would stand in our way: Accept all of us or none.

• Last evening attended Croghan Lodge International Order of Odd Fellows. Election of officers. Chosen Noble Grand. These social organizations have a number of good results. All who attend are educated in self-government. This in a marked way. They bind society together. The well-to-do and the poor should be brought together as much as possible. The separation into classes--castes--is our danger. It is the danger of all civilizations.

• I actually did a quick survey of how caste plays out in contemporary India. The idea that democracy and development have in some ways eroded caste turned out not to be the case, that it has in fact been entrenched and modernised.

• For African American children, in particular, the odds are extremely high that they will have a parent or loved one, a relative, who has either spent time behind bars or who has acquired a criminal record and thus is part of the under-caste - the group of people who can be legally discriminated against for the rest of their lives. For many African American children, their fathers, and increasingly their mothers, are behind bars. It is very difficult for them to visit. Many people are held hundreds or even thousands of miles away from home.

• Los músicos y los artistas no son... no son como los políticos o algo así, donde no puedes influir en ellos. No existe este sistema de castas separadas en el que se dice: "Yo soy el músico, tú eres el público. Nunca los dos se encontrarán ". Era un caso en el que era como, "Oye, ¿sabes qué? Estoy a tu nivel, hombre."
