Abhijit Naskar
“If not as a true human, let me tell you as a Biologist, color of the skin does not define an individual’s intelligence – it does not define an individual’s ambitions - it does not define an individual’s dreams – and above all, it does not define an individual’s character.”
Abhijit Naskar, We Are All Black: A Treatise on Racism

Lucy  Carter
“So each citizen put on a cloak in order to conceal their racial identity.”
Lucy Carter, Logicalard Fallacoid
