Jane Elliot quotes
" 450,000 Iraqi children have died from starvation and lack of medicine as a result of our embargo. If you believe God loves little children - and hundreds of thousands more Iraqi children will die if there is war - you have to believe that God will judge us very harshly for this. "

Jane Elliot
" About 10,000 years ago, males and females were acting equitably and were treating one another as equals, and then males took over the power, because they have physical power and physical strength. "

Jane Elliot
" Age is how we determine how valuable you are. "

Jane Elliot
" Education in this country is about how to maintain the status quo and to perpetuate racism. "

Jane Elliot
" I watched what had been marvelous, cooperative, wonderful, thoughtful children turn into nasty, vicious, discriminating little third-graders in a space of fifteen minutes. "

Jane Elliot
" I'm a practicing Christian - and I'm going to keep practicing till I get it right - but I don't feel everyone has to practice the same religion that I do. You have a right to worship who you choose and how you choose to. "

Jane Elliot
" I've got news for you: There are going to be people other than Christians in the hereafter. What are you going to do about it? Are you not going to go? "

Jane Elliot
" No white group has founded a major religion on this planet. The major religious were started in the Orient and the Middle East, not in Greece and Rome. I always knew you racists didn't have a prayer. "

Jane Elliot
" Racism is really skinism. Dark skin is an adaptation to the natural environment. It has nothing to do with being God's chosen people. "

Jane Elliot
" We don't need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables - the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences. "

Jane Elliot
" We learn to be racist, therefore we can learn not to be racist. Racism is not genetical. It has everything to do with power. "

Jane Elliot
" I am absolutely opposed to political correctness. You cannot confront hate speech until you've experienced it. You need to hear every side of the issue instead of just one. "

Jane Elliott
" This country isn't a melting pot. Think of this country as a stir fry. That's what this country should be. A place where people are appreciated for who they are. "

Jane Elliott
" We don't know anything about racism. We've never experienced it. If words can make a difference in your life for seven minutes, how would it affect you if you heard this every day of your life? "

Jane Elliott
" White people in this country are tweaked. We are raised to believe a myth of White superiority. Malcolm X, in The Autobiography of Malcolm X, said that White people's belief that they are 'superior' in some way is so deeply rooted that these things are in the national White subconscious. "
