"What in the name of reason does this nation expect of a people, poorly trained and hard pressed in severe economic competition, without political rights, and with ludicrously inadequate common-school facilities? What can it expect but crime and listlessness, offset here and there by the dogged struggles of the fortunate and more determined who are themselves buoyed by the hope that in due time the country will come to its senses?"

#DivideAndRule works, sadly:
"...but it was not until war time that it became the fashion to pat the disfranchised poor white man on the back and tell him after all he was white and that he and the planters had a common object in keeping the white man superior. This virus increased bitterness and relentless hatred, and after the war it became a chief ingredient in the division of the working class"

"It was the Supreme Adventure, inthe last Great Batde of the West, for that human freedom whichwould release the human spirit from lower lust for mere meat, andset it free to dream and sing.
And then some unjust God leaned, laughing, over the rampartsof heaven and dropped a black man in the midst.
It transformed the world. It turned democracy back to Roman Imperialism and Fascism; it restored caste and oligarchy;"

Mais n'importe... Je crois toujours que #Dubois avait peur de quelque chose, mais apparemment, ç'a pas été important.
Je dois dire que je suis tracassé pour #Dubois. Quoi c'est qui se passe là?
