Daniel Patrick Moynihan Quotes

Bilbo was one of the worst racists who ever served in the Congress.

Vladimir Lenin. In their quest for world revolution, the Russian Communists had more problems with arguments in the United States whose reforms and economy had produced a very high standard of living. They knew that to effect a revolution, they had to reach the middle class and the intellectuals. They had little economically to attack America with but they were able to attack the United States morally. Even though segregation was legal in America at that time, many Americans thought it immoral. Most of the rest of the world did also. So that was one of the attack points. Since the communists opposed U. S. racial segregation, many Southern segregationists used a perverted logic and accused everyone who opposed segregation of being a communist. In addition to racial segregation, the Communists attacked other forms of discrimination such as anti-Catholic, anti-Asian, and anti-Semitic (See {638737} ) behavior.

This quotation explains why so many of the Southern poor so actively supported the racist Slavery system even though they could not afford slaves and received no direct benefit from slavery or the discrimination against free Blacks.

This was a quotation from Roof's twisted confession of the fact that he walked into a black church that was holding a Bible Study Class, and gunned down 9 religious people studing the Bible. His "justification" was based on totally false "facts" but at the time many people--especially those and the extremes of political ideology simply chose the fact that supported their narrative and world vie without regard to veracity. The overwhelming majority of whites who are murdered in America are murdered by other whites and usually by people whey knew. Most rapes in the United States are committed by Whites, not Blacks, Of the Black committed rapes, most of the victims were also Black. Large proportions of the American populace believe that the Black cntribution to crime against whites is very much larger than it reall is. Of the whites who believe this, a tiny few become white supremicists and only some of those act out and commit any physical violance. However the few succetable people like Roof have heard these falsehoods so ofteh that tney not only beleive it si try but they believe taht they must do something lest the problem get worse. Of course, even if Blacks were committing all these crimes against whites, it takes a spcially sociopahic mind to believe that by killing Bible-studying, deeply religious, Christian Blacks, they will somehow stop violent Black crime.

Johnson was the first Black man who won the heavyweight championship at a time when racism in America was rampant. Many whites referred to Jeffries as “The Great White Hope” who would take the champion back for the whites. He didn’t and was beaten badly.

Perhaps there is no more dramatic quotation illustrating MacArthur’s arrogance where his own views and decisions should obviously prevail regardless of the policies of his superiors and his commander-in-chief. The army had been officially integrated by President Truman, The reality was that the general honestly believed that he had no superiors among the military, that civilians should not control the military, and in any event that the President—Truman—was not fit to be Commander-in-Chief.

Booth was the younger son of a very prominent Northern family of actors. His older brother was considered the greatest American actor, and the rest of the family were abolitionists and vehement Union supporters. They found young John’s views reprehensible.
