“If Barack Obama believes there are no victims in U.S, then I assume he'll shut down all the civil rights offices throughout the federal government, starting with the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. If there are no victims, all affirmative action laws will immediately be repealed.

“We don't want to blame the victim. The civil rights movement had a profound effect on the United States and on the American mind, maybe unique in the world.

“Most codes extend their definitions of treason to acts not really against one's country. They do not distinguish between acts against the government, and acts against the oppressions of the government. The latter are virtues, yet have furnished more victims to the executioner than the former. Real treasons are rare; oppressions frequent. The unsuccessful strugglers against tyranny have been the chief martyrs of treason laws in all countries.” Has BeensRealCountryGovernmentLawPoliticsVirtueVictimDefinitionsTyrannyCivil RightsOppressionChiefsFormerCodeLatterMartyrTreasonUnsuccessfulExecutioners Book:Correspondence Source: Correspondence

“Most of us tend to view childhood as a time of carefree pleasure. Those of us who have looked at the real condition of children in America, however, see a very different picture-one in which children are victims of terrible discrimination, prejudice, and abuse. They need protection. But the protection they need most is to have the protection of civil rights, so that they can be regarded as full persons under the law.” NeedsChildrenPersonsDifferentRealAmericaLawPleasureViewsRightsChildhoodConditionsTerribleAbusePrejudiceVictimProtectionDiscriminationCivil RightsCarefree Author:Richard Farson
