• En nuestra lucha contra la segregación racial en Montgomery, Alabama, llegué a ver muy pronto que una síntesis del método de no violencia de Gandhi y la ética cristiana del amor es la mejor arma de que disponen los negros para esta lucha por la libertad y la dignidad humana. Es muy posible que el enfoque de Gandhi aporte una solución al problema racial en América. Su espíritu es un recordatorio continuo para los oprimidos de que es posible resistirse al mal sin recurrir a la violencia.

• La gente ha dicho a lo largo de los años que la razón por la que no renuncié a mi escaño fue que estaba cansado. No pensé en estar cansado físicamente. No me dolían los pies. Estaba cansada de otra manera. Estaba cansado de ver a tantos hombres tratados como niños y no llamados por sus nombres o títulos apropiados. Estaba cansada de ver cómo se maltrataba y se faltaba al respeto a niños y mujeres por el color de su piel. Estaba cansado de las leyes de Jim Crow, de la segregación racial impuesta legalmente.

• Hay algunas cosas respecto a las cuales debemos estar siempre inadaptados si queremos ser personas de buena voluntad. Nunca debemos adaptarnos a la segregación racial. Nunca debemos adaptarnos al fanatismo religioso. Nunca debemos adaptarnos a las condiciones económicas que quitan necesidades a muchos para dar lujos a unos pocos.

• People are really beginning to see the mechanisms of imperialism. When colonialism existed people could see colonialism. When racial segregation existed in its apartheid form, people could see the "whites only" signs. But it's much more difficult to see the structures of neo-imperialism, neo-colonialism, neo-slavery.

• El nuevo racismo: Racismo sin "racistas". Hoy en día, la segregación y la división raciales son a menudo el resultado de hábitos, políticas e instituciones que no están explícitamente diseñados para discriminar. Contrariamente a la creencia popular, la discriminación o la segregación no requieren animadversión. Prosperan incluso en ausencia de prejuicios o mala voluntad. Es habitual que haya racismo sin racistas.

  Eduardo Bonilla-Silva

  Mala voluntad, racismo, prejuicios

• Belief in Some One's right to punish you is the fate of all children in Judaic-Christian culture. But nowhere else, perhaps, have the rich seed-beds of Western homes found such a growing climate for guilt as is produced in the South by the combination of a warm moist evangelism and racial segregation.

• What used to be racial segregation now mirrors itself in class segregation, this great sorting (has) taken place. It creates its own politics. There are some communities where not only do I not know poor people, I don't even know people who have trouble paying the bills at the end of the month. I just don't know those people. And so there's less sense of investment in those children.

• One of life's intriguing paradoxes is that hierarchical social order makes cheap rents and outré artists' colonies possible. Raffish bohemian neighborhoods flourished in the days of racial segregation; under integration the artistic poor have no safe places in which to create.... If America lacks a vigorous culture it is partly because studios and ateliers have become crack houses.

• No puede haber argumento más poderoso contra la mezcla de religión y gobierno que el éxito de las iglesias afroamericanas independientes a la hora de incluir la segregación racial y la discriminación en la agenda social de una nación reticente. ¿Habrían podido las iglesias negras tomar la iniciativa en la lucha si hubieran dependido de los fondos repartidos para "iniciativas basadas en la fe"? ?
