“We learn that Comrade [President of South Africa Nelson] Mandela has announced in a speech that he hopes for a bright future in South Africa for ‘liberty’ and ‘equality.’ Anyone who has thought about it realizes that liberty and equality are antithetical concepts. You can have one, or you can have the other, but you certainly cannot have both. As to that, either concept is a rather futile goal. Equality is biologically impossible, and liberty is only obtainable in homogeneous populations very thinly spread.” GoalPresidentRealizingLibertyImpossibleSpeechConceptsSouthPopulationSpreadSouth AfricaComradeNelsonBright FutureHomogeneousLiberty And Equality Author:Jeff Cooper

“I come out of the environment of the Deep South, where I had seen the millstone of racial discrimination weighting down my people, both the black people and the white people; and I had seen the enormous progress that we were able to make after we removed the legal restraints of a two-class society, with the whites superior and blacks inferior. So I was very convinced before I became President that basic human rights, equality of opportunity, the end of abuse by governments of their people, was a basic principle on which the United States should be an acknowledged champion.” PeopleShouldHumansTwoEndsStatesGovernmentAbleOpportunityBlackPresidentWhiteUnitedClassPrinciplesUnited StatesEnvironmentRightsProgressAbuseSouthHuman RightsConvincedEnormousDiscriminationSuperiorsChampionBlack PeopleInferiorsRestraintBasic PrinciplesRacial DiscriminationEquality Of OpportunityBasic Human Rights Author:Jimmy Carter
