| Jag hatar rasdiskriminering mest intensivt och alla dess yttringar. Jag har kämpat hela mitt liv; jag slåss nu, och kommer att göra det fram till slutet av mina dagar. Även fast jag råkar dömas av en, vars åsikt jag högt uppskattade, avskyr jag våldsamt situationen som omger mig här. Det gör att jag känner att jag är en svart man på en vit mans planhalva. Så ska det inte vara, jag skulle vilja känna mig tillfreds och hemma i förvissningen att jag prövas av en sydafrikan, som inte betraktar mig som en sämre människa som ska särbehandlas. | Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) |
