...society. People's lives are coming apart at the seams. People have burnt themselves out chewing on the cob of the liberal. We've listened to the liberal for 15 years, and what has he produced? A life that is full of the barnyard morality. The liberal dream is nothing but a hog trough...
...objective of the colonialists was to bring civilization and religion to Africa, then the wealth and dazzling beauty of Africa was too tempting for their feeble minds. Civilization was brutal and savage; the cross lost track of the guiding light, and the primary motive of their cause became a dream betrayed. Instead of civilizing men they kept them in cages of ignorance; instead of freeing their victims they enslaved them. The cross became the cross to crucify the Africans because he was a heathen.

He must use not only baton but also eyes, expression and, most important, his musical personality...

Says Vernon Jordan, executive director of the National Urban League: "Opponents of affirmative-action programs live in some kind of dream world where people truly advance on their merits and all is efficiently governed by a neutral merit system. That world does not exist. Merit is socially defined." Colleges, for example, have traditionally favored not only middle-class males but also sons of alumni. For all the progress in desegregation, blacks still must surmount a crushing residue of two centuries of discrimination in acquiring the tools and attitudes required to compete...
