"Semua buku yang diterbitkan oleh orang-orang Afrika-Amerika mengatakan 'sekrup putih', atau beberapa variasi itu. Bukan para ulama tetapi buku pop. Dan hal lain yang mereka katakan adalah, "Anda harus menghadapi penindas." Aku mengerti itu. Tetapi Anda tidak harus melihat dunia melalui matanya. Saya bukan stereotip; Saya bukan versi orang lain tentang siapa saya. Dan ketika orang mengatakan bahwa hitam itu indah - ya? Tentu saja. Siapa bilang bukan? Jadi saya mencoba mengatakan, di Mata Bluest, tunggu sebentar. Kawan Ada suatu masa ketika hitam tidak indah. Dan kamu terluka."

--- Toni Morrison

Versi Bahasa Inggris

All the books that were being published by African-American guys were saying 'screw whitey', or some variation of that. Not the scholars but the pop books. And the other thing they said was, 'You have to confront the oppressor.' I understand that. But you don't have to look at the world through his eyes. I'm not a stereotype; I'm not somebody else's version of who I am. And so when people said at that time black is beautiful – yeah? Of course. Who said it wasn't? So I was trying to say, in The Bluest Eye, wait a minute. Guys. There was a time when black wasn't beautiful. And you hurt.
