“And finally, now, to-day, when we are awakening to the fact that the perpetuity of republican institutions on this continent depends on the purification of the ballot, the civic training of voters, and the raising of voting to the plane of a solemn duty which a patriotic citizen neglects to his peril and to the peril of his children’s children,—in this day, when we are striving for a renaissance of civic virtue, what are we going to say to the black voter of the South? Are we going to tell him still that politics is a disreputable and useless form of human activity? Are we going to induce the best class of Negroes to take less and less interest in government, and to give up their right to take such an interest, without a protest? I am not saying a word against all legitimate efforts to purge the ballot of ignorance, pauperism, and crime. But few have pretended that the present movement for disfranchisement in the South is for such a purpose; it has been plainly and frankly declared in nearly every case that the object of the disfranchising laws is the elimination of the black man from politics.”

“And finally this question
The mystery of whose story it
will be.
Of who draws the curtain.
Who is it that chooses our steps
in the dance?
Who drives us mad?
Lashes us with whips
and crowning us
with victory when we
survive the impossible.
Who is it... that does all these things?
Who honors those we love for the
very life we live?
Who sends monsters to kill us, and
at the same time sings that we'll
never die?
Who teaches us what's real and how to
laugh at lies?
Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend?
Who chains us and who holds the key that can set us free?
It's you...
You have all the weapons you need...
Now fight!”

Let me at least name them: We all care about human rights, but I am afraid of 'human rightism.' We all want to have a healthy environment, but I see the danger in environmentalism. To put it politically correctly, I admire the second gender, but I fear feminism. We all are enriched by other cultures, but not by multiculturalism. I am aware of the importance of voluntary associations, but I fear NGOism.”
