“This is what I hold against slavery.

“We are a feelingless people. If we could really feel, the pain would be so great that we would stop all the suffering. If we could feel that one person every six seconds dies of starvation ... we would stop it. ...

“Slavery remained in the Deep South by other names - in prison programs with charges over nothing and eternal debt that threatened every African-American in the South right up through World War II. And that was after killing three-quarters of a million people, destroying cities, and creating hostility that exists to this day over the the Confederate flag and the racism it symbolizes, all brewing out of bitterness over a war that didn't have to happen.” PeopleWorldWarHappensThreeNamesCitiesMillionsEternalCreatingRacismProgramSlaveryPrisonSouthKillingDebtAfrican AmericanWar Of The WorldsThis DayBitternessDestroyingQuartersWorld War IiFlagsWorld War IThreatenedHostilityConfederateBrewingConfederate Flag Author:David Swanson
“By reserving the penalty of death for black defendants, or for the poor, or for those convicted of killing white persons, we perpetrate the ugly legacy of slavery-teaching our children that some lives are inherently less precious than others.” ChildrenPersonsBlackWhitePoorTeachingOur ChildrenSlaveryKillingUglyLegacyPenaltiesDeath Penalty Author:Joseph Lowery

“Nobody can turn you into a slave unless you allow them. Nobody can make you afraid of anything, unless you allow them. Nobody can tell you to do something wrong, unless you allow them. God never created you to be a slave, man did. God never created division or set up any borders between brothers, man did. God never told you hurt or kill another, man did.

“Scientists and inventors of the USA (especially in the so-called "blue state" that voted overwhelmingly against Trump) have to think long and hard whether they want to continue research that will help their government remain the world's superpower. All the scientists who worked in and for Germany in the 1930s lived to regret that they directly helped a sociopath like Hitler harm millions of people.
