“The black middle-class in America is a prosperous community that is now larger in absolute terms than the black underclass. Does its existence not suggest that economic adversity is the result of failures of individual character rather than the lingering after-effects of racial discrimination and a slave system that ceased to exist well over a century ago?” WellsDoeCharacterAmericaIndividualBlackTermCommunityResultsExistenceClassEconomicMiddleEffectsCenturyAbsolutesAdversitySlaveDiscriminationMiddle ClassProsperousLingeringRacial Discrimination Author:David Horowitz

“We spoke of ourselves as "emancipated" when we got the vote. Yet we are still slaves to the superficial and the superfluous. We are concerned with the length of our skirts, with the latest lipstick, with the newest thrill in hats. We are impressed by advertisements that insist we must be alluring; we must adopt a time-consuming coiffure, we must spend hours with the "beautician," we must attend fashion shows. As long as women are preoccupied with nonessentials we shall be afflicted with infantilism, passivity, and the eventual disillusionment that results from trivial, unproductive lives.” LongStillsShowsHoursResultsFashionConcernedVoteSlaveHatsSpokesLengthNarcissismImpressedSuperficialThrillConsumingSkirtsLipstickAdvertisementsDisillusionmentSuperfluousPassivityAlluringTime ConsumingUnproductiveFashion ShowBeauticians Author:Mary Barnett Gilson

“Tuthmosis IV was, like his father Amenhotep II, a belligerent pharaoh and one of the first to wage war without provocation beyond Egypt's boundaries. As a result of his aggressive attacks slaves and foreign elements were common in Egypt. Consequently, there was more intermarriage during his reign than at other times. Egypt was visited by merchants and traders and was extremely prosperous and cosmopolitan during this period.” FirstsWarFatherResultsCommonPeriodsElementsSlaveBoundariesAggressiveReignEgyptProsperousMerchantsTradersProvocationPharaohsIntermarriage Author:Michael Tsarion
