Walter Dean Myers, Bad Boy: A Memoir
"All the authors I studied, all the historical figures, with the exception of George Washington Carver, and all those figures I looked upon as having importance were white men. I didn't mind that they were men, or even white men. What I did mind was that being white seemed to play so important a part in the assigning of values."

"كل المؤلفين الذين درستهم، وكل الشخصيات التاريخية، باستثناء جورج واشنطن كارفر، وكل تلك الشخصيات التي نظرت إليها على أنها ذات أهمية، كانوا رجالاً بيض. لم أكن أمانع كونهم رجالاً، أو حتى رجالاً بيضاً. ما أمانعه حقاً هو أن كونهم بيضاً بدا وكأنه يلعب دوراً بالغ الأهمية في تحديد القيم."
