#Black

"Color is the overpowering of black; white – the final victory over black."

"Who I was was not acceptable to black L.A. youth: the way I spoke and my sense of humor. Everybody else had relaxers and pressed hair. I wore my hair in an Afro puff. Nappy. The way I dressed. It was all about name brands at the time in L.A. I had no idea. All those things, I failed miserably at."

"Colombian humor is very black, very sarcastic."

"Life isn't black and white. It's a million gray areas, don't you find?"

"Testimony is an integral part of the Black religious tradition. It is the occasion where the believer stands before the community of faith in order to give account of the hope that is in him or her."

"You write the way you think about the world. My motto in times of trouble - and I'm speaking of life, not writing - is 'no humor too black.'"

"My acquaintances aren’t worth the aqua I drink after they leave me thirsting for something more meaningful. I don’t want refillable relationships—I want connections so deep they are black abysses."

"Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black."

"I curse in cursive. It's hard to read and harder take. But if you take it black, like coffee, then at least it may wake you up to the realities of life."

"To me, Green Arrow in the past, what people loved about Oliver Queen pre-New 52 was his relationships with other heroes. Like his friendship with Green Lantern, his animosity with Hawkman, his romance with Black Canary - these are all the things that sort of defined him."

"I don't stand for black man's side, I don't stand for white man's side, I stand for God's side."

"I wasn't shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid."

"I hate to say it but I hate black humor. I feel like a Klan member saying it, but it's just not funny."

"I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion -- against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas."
