"We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did." -- Rep. Richard Baker R-La

"Racism is so universal in this country, so widespread, and deep-seated,
that it is invisible because it is so normal."
-Shirley Chisolm, 1970

"How can we celebrate the achievements of Malcolm, Martin and Marcus when we allow the media to tell our young brotha's to use the torch that these great men carried to light a blunt?"- Min. Paul Scott



and can you guess who said this one:

"Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps."

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."

-Edward Bernays



In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

In our so-called democracy we are accustomed to give the majority what they want rather than educate them to understand what is best for them.


The mere imparting of information is not education.
