| ebbf694 | Senator Douglas said during his debates with Old Abe that America " ...was built by White men, for the benefit of White men and to their posterity forever," and that "... citizenship should only be conferred upon White people and to people of European descent, and not upon Negroes, Indians and other inferior races." Lincoln said when he was accused of trying to bring about the equality of the White and Black races: I will say then that I am.. | Aylmer Von Fleischer | ||

| d871d6d | According to Lerone Bennett Jr., the author of the book Forced Into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream, Lincoln even made many racist jokes and used racist language. Many Lincoln admirers have claimed that he no longer concerned himself with repatriating Blacks out of America after the Civil War. However, Phillip Maggess and Sebastian Page, the authors of the book Colonization After Emancipation: Lincoln and the Movement For Black Resettl.. | Aylmer Von Fleischer | ||

| 583780d | After the American civil war when one would have expected that Blacks in America would be set free and even compensated for all the wrong they had suffered in the country, they were rather slapped with evil laws known as the Black Codes. | Aylmer Von Fleischer | ||
| 58be71c | Reconstruction nullified the Black Codes, but when Reconstruction came to an end, many of the Black Codes were resurrected in the Jim Crow laws. | Aylmer Von Fleischer | ||
| 4cc8c47 | With the collapse of Reconstruction in 1877 and the barring of Blacks from political positions, etc., more racist legislation was enacted against Blacks by the Southern states. Among other things, vagrancy laws made unemployment illegal. After | Aylmer Von Fleischer | ||

| ee4db00 | Abraham Lincoln has been foisted on the world as the Savior of Blacks in America, that he fought the Civil War in order to free Black slaves, but is this true? Media propaganda like the movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Stephen Spielberg's Lincoln movie have sought to rewrite history. The paradox that was Lincoln lies in the fact that he made statements that depict his sympathy for the suffering of Black slaves; on the other hand h.. | Aylmer Von Fleischer | ||

Whites have never fought to free Blacks. On the contrary they have fought wars to subjugate and enslave Blacks. Even countries like Britain abolished slavery not because of any deep-seated morality but because, among other things, their society had entered a phase of indu.. | Aylmer Von Fleischer | ||

| d6264b8 | The explanatory gap has never been bridged. And the inescapable reason is this: a neural state is not a mental state. The mind is not the brain, though it depends on the material brain for its existence (as far as we know). As the philosopher Colin McGinn says, "The problem with materialism is that it tries to construct the mind out of properties that refuse to add up to mentality." | Jeffrey M. Schwartz | ||

This isn't art! This is a joke! All of you are a joke! Fuck you and fuck Jeff Koons and the rest of those '80s art-star wannabes. Where's the art that makes people weep?

| 12f0d2c | Those days were like a crown of gold over her head. Her hair was a knotted nest of some tiny white and yellow flowers with little bluebells wrapped inside her curls.

A place where the dirty dreams of every twelve-year-old man-child were visible on the bus station's bathroom walls in hand-scrawled tattoos of ladies with oversized breasts and inappropriate female genitalia, inaccurately portrayed as a singularly dangerous triangle of doom. Those kinds of drawings set me up for a world of confusion. | Joe Meno | ||

Still full of their loyal inhabitants, the buildings and the people all disintegrate soundlessly. The air has been hard to breathe, full of regret and the glassy voices of the unsurprised dead. Our commuters have begun carrying photographs of their loved ones with them to work. On the bus, we look at each other,.. | Joe Meno | ||

| c5d25ba | What Mr. Albee most desires is for the Model UN, the entire group of them, all eleven, even the scoundrel Quinn, to be there waiting, when he gets home each dreary night, and there again when he awakes in the morning, all of them politely debating one another with their resplendent voices, their hearts--which have not yet been broken by anything more serious than an unrequited crush or an unfair grade--quietly aglow with everything. | Joe Meno | ||

| 04df562 | It seems to me trivially true that particle physics does in fact deal with the simplest objects in the entire universe: atoms and their constituents. At the opposite extreme, biology takes on the most complex things known to humanity: organisms made of billions of cells, and ecosystems whose properties are affected by tens of thousands of variables. | Massimo Pigliucci | ||
