“I imposed black; it still going strong today, for black wipes out everything else around”

“My tears were wiped away, my heart was strong, I saw the way of healing…I said, “God help me now to preach the Word to all the dying around, and tell them how ‘tis Satan still defiles, and Jesus still delivers, for He is just the same today.”

“Gus: There are still bears out here. Black bears who feel no kinship to black men.”

“Dear White Fella When I am born I’m black When I grow up I’m black When I am sick I’m black When I go out ina sun I’m black When I git cold I’m black When I git scared I’m black And when I die I’m still black. But you white fella When you’re born you’re pink When you grow up you’re white When you git sick you’re green When you go out ina sun you go red When you git cold you go blue When you git scared you’re yellow And when you die you’re grey And you got the cheek to call me coloured?”

“And all was black and still, and black and cold, and black and dead, and black.”

“When someone that you love dies..it's like fireworks suddenly burning out in the sky and everything going black.”
