The trouble with our people is as soon as they got out of slavery they didn't want to give the white man nothing else. But the fact is, you got to give em something. Either your money, your land, your woman or your ass.
Quote by -Alice Walker
Therefore, the Negro nation are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because [Negroes] have little [that is essentially] human and have attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated.
Quote by -Ibn Khaldun
"We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and to make room upon the earth for honest men to live in."
Quote by -Thomas Paine
"Frederick Douglass taught that literacy is the path from slavery to freedom. There are many kinds of slavery and many kinds of freedom, but reading is still the path."
Quote by -Carl Sagan
“It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights — the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery — hay and a barn for human cattle.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
“Slavery...dishonors labor. It introduces idleness into society, and with idleness, ignorance and pride, luxury and distress. It enervates the powers of the mind and benumbs the activity of man.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
“Slavery received, but the prejudice to which it has given birth remains stationary.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
