• For black folks, the Confederate flag represents the same thing that the Nazi flag represents to the Jews. There is absolutely no difference when we look at it. Now, white folks try to explain it away like, 'Oh, it's OK.' But when you're black, it is not OK. It represents oppression and murder.

• Nuestro nuevo gobierno está fundado exactamente sobre la idea opuesta; sus cimientos están puestos, su piedra angular descansa, sobre la gran verdad de que el negro no es igual al hombre blanco; que la subordinación a la esclavitud de la raza superior es su condición natural y normal. Este, nuestro nuevo gobierno, es el primero, en la historia del mundo, basado en esta gran verdad física, filosófica y moral.

• Diré, entonces, que no estoy, ni nunca he estado, a favor de lograr de ninguna manera la igualdad social y política de las razas blanca y negra: que no estoy, ni nunca he estado, a favor de hacer votantes o jurados a los negros, ni de habilitarlos para ocupar cargos, ni para casarse con blancos.

• La esclavitud permaneció en el Sur Profundo con otros nombres: en programas carcelarios con cargos por nada y deudas eternas que amenazaron a todos los afroamericanos del Sur hasta la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y eso fue después de matar a tres cuartos de millón de personas, destruir ciudades y crear la hostilidad que existe hasta el día de hoy sobre la bandera confederada y el racismo que simboliza, todo elaborado a partir de la amargura por una guerra que no tenía que ocurrir.

• We have, for generations, been trying to be more inclusive of the word Southern. And a symbol like the confederate flag indicates white only are allowed into that world. And removing the Confederate flag from public view to the pages of history is long overdue.

• I know the GOP is called the stupid party, but the idea that Republicans can have the Confederate flag hung around their neck is ridiculous! It's a Democrat flag! The flags - states that seceded during the Civil War were all Democrat states. That's their flag. The slave states were Democrat states! The racist states until the 1960s were Democrat states!

• Sin embargo, junto a toda la parafernalia de la bandera confederada hay un montón de merchandising de la bandera estadounidense: manteles individuales con la bandera estadounidense, "cristales corporales" patrióticos, pegatinas con la bandera que te pegas a la piel. Personalmente, soy lo bastante mezquino y literal como para ver los dos símbolos como contradictorios, especialmente en tiempos de guerra. Pero me temo que la consumidora que compra una taza de café con la bandera confederada, que luego colocará sobre su mantel individual con la bandera estadounidense, es el tipo de pensadora sofisticada lo suficientemente abierta de mente como para ser capaz de odiar a negros y árabes al mismo tiempo.

• I heard someone say that concern over the [Confederate] Flag is sensitivity to micro-aggressions, to which my response is to say that kidnapping and enslaving people, breaking up families, terrorizing families, if that's not a macro-aggression, I don't know what is.

• I intend to talk about race during this election in the South because the Republicans have been talking about it since 1968 in order to divide us. And I'm going to bring us together. Because you know what? You know what? White folks in the South who drive pickup trucks with Confederate flag decals in the back ought to be voting with us and not them, because their kids don't have health insurance either and their kids need better schools too.

• What I’m talking about is more than recompense for past injustices—more than a handout, a payoff, hush money, or a reluctant bribe. What I’m talking about is a national reckoning that would lead to spiritual renewal. Reparations would mean the end of scarfing hot dogs on the Fourth of July while denying the facts of our heritage. Reparations would mean the end of yelling “patriotism” while waving a Confederate flag. Reparations would mean a revolution of the American consciousness, a reconciling of our self-image as the great democratizer with the facts of our history.
