Segregationist Quotes

In the end no segregationist scheme has withstood the force of a simple idea: equality under law. (Eric Liu)
While abhorring segregation, we shall love the segregationist. This is the only way to create the beloved community. View quote
Martin Luther King Jr.
You and I in America are faced not with a segregationist conspiracy, we're faced with a government conspiracy. Everyone who's filibustering is a senator-that's the government. Everyone who's finagling in Washington, D.C., is a congressman-that's the government. You don't have anybody putting blocks in your path but people who are a part of the government. The same government that you go abroad to fight for and die for is the government that is in a conspiracy to deprive you of your voting rights, deprive you of your economic opportunities, deprive you of decent housing, deprive you of decent education. You don't need to go to the employer alone, it is the government itself, the government of America, that is responsible for the oppression and exploitation and degradation of black people in this country. And you should drop it in their lap. This government has failed the Negro. This so-called democracy has failed the Negro. And all these white liberals have definitely failed the Negro. View quote
