“Most liberal-minded folk would like to think that since they are not hostile to people of a different race, racism is a disease of the uneducated, unenlightened and socially backward - football hooligans, British National Party supporters, policemen. You could call this the Bad Guy Theory. But the Bad Guy Theory does not explain why Indian-heritage children do nearly twice as well as Pakistani-heritage children at GCSE.” PeopleThinkingWellsChildrenDoeDifferentGuyPartyRaceFootballTheoryDiseaseRacismFolksBritishIndianHeritageSupporterHostileBad GuysPolicemenUneducatedDifferent Races Author:Trevor Phillips
“Constant conflict is actually often good politics. Because the more you can inflame your supporters the more likely they are to show up at election day. And if they're more inflamed than the other side, even if the other side has more people agreeing with it, you'll win, because your crowd will show up.” PeopleIfsShowsRealityPoliticalPoliticsWinningSidesPartyDemocracyConflictElectionStrategyConstantCrowdsIdeologyVotingFree SpeechSupporterPolitical PartiesCivilityElection Day Author:William J.

“My grandmother was also an active member of the tenants association and a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party, and both of my parents were extremely liberal, so I think I grew up in a household that was very politically conscious - we all watched the elections on TV, and we watched the debates. So it was an awareness that we were raised with, and as we grew into young adults, we just naturally became politically active. It was just understood that it was important, that it was our responsibility.” ThinkingImportantYoungParentPartyResponsibilityAwarenessTvsGrewMembersGrew UpConsciousUnderstoodAdultsElectionDemocraticRaisedYoung AdultActiveDebateGrandmotherAssociationHouseholdSupporterMy GrandmotherDemocratic PartyTenants Author:Scarlett Johansson
