10 QUOTES WITH «SUPREMACY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word supremacy.
1
Robert Agostinelli

2
Stokely Carmichael
Now, then, in order to understand white supremacy we must dismiss the fallacious notion that white people can give anybody their freedom.
3
Ty Cobb
Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest.
4
Stockwell Day

5
Andrea Dworkin
Male supremacy is fused into the language, so that every sentence both heralds and affirms it.
6
Michael Eric Dyson
White supremacy is the conscious or unconscious belief or the investment in the inherent superiority of some, while others are believed to be innately inferior. And it doesn't demand the individual participation of the singular bigot. It is a machine operating in perpetuity, because it doesn't demand that somebody be in place driving.
7
Michael Eric Dyson
When white supremacy becomes institutional, it begins to harm the very people who are not simply outside of it because of their race, it begins to harm the folk who look like the folk who want to be in charge. Martin Luther King, Jr., understood this, Malcolm X understood this, James Baldwin really understood this.
8
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Similarly, gender-equality, supremacy of law, political participation, civil society, and transparency are among the indispensable elements that are the imperatives of democratization.
9
James A. Forbes
White supremacy is not just a social arrangement: it is a race-based faith.
10
David Gross
The early 1960s, when I started my graduate studies at UC Berkeley, were a period of experimental supremacy and theoretical impotence.
