any fool can see that the white people are not really white and that black people are not black.

“The United States is in actuality not a nation of black people and white people. It is a nation of multicolored people. There are white Americans so to speak and black Americans. But any fool can see that the white people are not really white and that black people are not black. They are all interrelated in one way or another.”

Albert Murray, The Omni-Americans: New Perspectives on Black Experience and American Culture, (New York: Outerbridge & Dienstfrey, 1970).
