The defining characteristic of domestic policy in the United States is racism. It’s literally why we can’t have nice things.

Every time some practice doesn’t make sense from the war on drugs to how education is funded, Trump getting elected twice or the lack of universal healthcare, you can trace the roots back to racism.

People would rather be kings in hell than risk being servants in heaven.

And what they are in fact getting is: they are servants in hell. But at least they didn't have to share their swimming pool with brown people. >:-(

@carnage4life *All* evil comes from seeing (some or more) people as "things" instead of as people.

IIRC, Ghandi made this point, although I can't find the exact quotation.
