Quote by Anna Malaika Tubbs

“Their military experience made them more of a threat. Their pride was seen as something in need of control. Once again irrational white supremacist fears turned into extreme forms of brutality. According to the Equal Justice Initiative, no one was more at risk of experiencing violence and targeted racial terror than Black Veterans who had proven their valor and courage as soldiers. Thousands of Black Veterans were assaulted, threatened, abused or lynched following military service. Violence targeted at Black Veterans and their families led to one of the bloodiest summers for Black Americans, known in history as the Red Summer. Approximately 25 race riots broke out across the United States. In different cities, white rioters attacked Black men, women, and children, targeted Black organizational meetings and destroyed Black homes and Black businesses. Hundreds of Black people were killed and thousands were injured in the onslaughts. service”

“... [Y]ou mainly hear from white supremacists, about the "glory" of the white race. They point to the innovations of white people and use that evidence of our "inherent greatness." So first of all, most of the white people who bring this shit up are NOT impressive people. It's not for the most part the scientists, and the engineers, and the artists, and the writers, and the film makers, and people who actually have skill sets who bring up this point. It's the shlubs, and the losers, who are spinning their fucking wheels in the mud, it's the people who have nothing to take pride in so they take pride in the accomplishments of everyone who happens to share their skin color. Pathetic.”

“Republicans are the Taliban of the West. But please don't hate them. Now more than ever they need our help, for they are ill, terribly ill. They are suffering from a condition, I call, Clinical Caucasianitis, or White Supremacy Syndrome. So next time you see one, offer them a flower and say - get well soon! In a way (sarcastically speaking), no other political party on earth has done more to eliminate Islamophobia than the republican party, by boldly revealing themselves to the world as the face of new age christian terrorism. Finally, thanks to the republicans, the people of planet earth get to relive the atrocious days and ominous nights of the roman catholic crusades - which by the way, is the very antithesis of Christ's "love thy neighbor" - just like it is the antithesis of something Mohammed said - that Muslims should help their neighbors rebuild their churches, synagogues and monasteries if they burn down (22:40 Quran). The point is, one who has integration in their heart, will find integration everywhere, but those who have nothing but hate in their heart, will remain hateful no matter how many messengers of love come and go.”

“Şey tırmanırken Dibblerlar ağızları açık, izliyorlardı. Çok hızlı hareket etmiyordu, zaman zaman tutunacağı bir sonraki yeri aramak için gevezelenen Kütüphaneci'yi yakındaki bir desteğe bırakması gerekiyordu, ama yukarıya ilerliyordu. "Ah, evet. Evet. Evet," diye nefes verdi Soll. "Ne resim ama! Saf sinema!" "Çığlıklar atan bir maymunu yüksek bir binanın tepesine taşıyan dev bir kadın," diye içini çekti Dibbler. "Ve ücret ödememiz bile gerekmiyor!" "Yaa," dedi Soll. "Ya..." dedi Dibbler. Sesinde minik bir kararsızlık tınısı vardı. Soll özlem dolu görünüyordu. "Yaa," diye tekrarladı. "Ee." "Ne demek istediğini anlıyorum," dedi Dibbler yavaşça. "Bu... Yani, gerçekten harika, ama... şey, elimde değil..." "Evet, yanlış bir şey var," dedi Dibbler ifadesiz bir sesle. "Yanlış değil," dedi Soll ümitsizce. "Tam olarak yanlış değil. Öyle yanlış değil. Yalnızca eksik..." Söyleyecek söz bulamayarak sustu. İçini çekti. Sonra Dibble içini çekti. Tepede, gök gürültüsü patladı. Ve gökyüzünden, üzerinde çığlık atan iki sihirbaz taşıyan bir süpürge çıktı.”

“The romantic idealism, the self-conscious ‘sentimental’ heroism of chivalry are idealism and heroism at second hand, and originate primarily in the ambition and the deliberation with which this new nobility set about developing the notions of its own peculiar honour. Its zeal is only a sign of unsureness and weakness which the old nobility does not, or at least did not, suffer from as long as uninfluenced by the new, inwardly unstable, company of the knights. This instability shows itself most strikingly in its equivocal attitude to the conventional forms of noble living. On the one hand, it clings to the superficialities and exaggerates the formalities of the aristocratic manner of life; on the other hand, it sets inward nobility of soul above the outward and purely formal nobility of birth and manners. Conscious of its subordinate position, it exaggerates the value of mere forms, but conscious also of possessing capacities equal to or even greater than those of the old aristocracy, it, at the same time, depreciates the value of such forms and of noble birth as such.”
