“The "r" word [racism] is a scary word to me - I don't like to say it. I'm not trying to say it doesn't exist. It's incredibly inflammatory and invites a lot of awful mistakes and injustices that have happened and still do happen. It's a word that has been thrown around in a way that incites a lot of bad feelings in most people.” PeopleWayTryingHas BeensStillsFeelingsHappensMistakeHappenedRacismInjusticeScaryAwfulThrownInvites Author:Brandi Chastain

That was their battle cry. Obviously God willed no such thing. The Crusaders were simply projecting onto a deity they'd created on their own image and likeness, all their hatred and loathing of these faiths and made it endorse some of their most awful prejudices and lethal prejudices.” PeopleMadeHappenedShareCryBattleHatredPrejudiceAssumingJewLikesGods WillAwfulMade ItDislikeCriedDeitiesAtrocitiesLoathingLikes And DislikesBattle Cry Author:Karen Armstrong
“When McDonald's opened up in Moscow - I happened to be there when it opened and wandered in. And the Russians were queuing three times around the block to get in. And when they got to the head of the queue, they'd go, "I'll have a Big Mac please. Have you the cheese and the rolls? And do you have the meat and do you have the salad?" And everybody asks this because they are so used to things being awful that it took them a quarter of an hour to order a Big Mac.” BigsUsedOrderThreeAsksHoursHappenedPleaseBlockAwfulMeatQuartersCheeseThree TimesSaladMcdonaldsMacsMoscowQueuesBig Mac Author:John Gimlette
