Side-Lines: "As a white American, I think that African Americans and Indians should pay us royalties for the use of our civilization."
Side-Lines: "As a white American, I think that African Americans and Indians should pay us royalties for the use of our civilization.": There's probably more wealth bound up in one single LandSat image than was destroyed by us in the West's romp around the world. Any conceivable amount of money in reparations for the damage we did to everyone, times a thousand, has been amply repaid. We have collectively created whole worlds and put them in the hands of the entire Human Race, either for free or for a tinytiny fraction of the cost of making them. We've actually altered the way the human race does things. We created the sky and then built ships to travel it. History will never again be the same for our existing, and the options available now to even the smallest person alive boggle the mind.
There is no more moral component to these claims; they're simply power politics and should be treated as such. Don't get heated up about them; stay cool and organize to fight. Propaganda is a very old game.

Valerie Jarrett: opinion of Obama
Obama's Valerie Jarrett: Often Whispered about, But Never Challenged | National Review Online: Consider this quote from New Yorker editor David Remnick’s interview with her for his 2010 book The Bridge.
“I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is. . . . He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually. . . . So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy. . . . He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”

Side-Lines: Comment on "One of the reasons for being glad to be as old as I am is that I may be spared living to see a race war in America."
Side-Lines: Comment on "One of the reasons for being glad to be as old as I am is that I may be spared living to see a race war in America.": Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. – Thomas Jefferson

Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. – Thomas Jefferson In the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles race riots, Rodney King – the late career criminal whose videotaped beating by police triggered the event – looked around at the death and destruction his fellow blacks had created. “People,” he famously asked, “I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?”
And the answer, all these years later, is a clear and resounding “No.”
On the streets of America, in the Real World, the Dream has no meaning. It’s all Reality. And in reality, White people and others have to judge people by their skin color if they want to survive. People may claim color blindness, but when they are on the street the color sensors are turned all the way up. Prejudice has become a survival skill.
It’s unpleasant to face the facts about race in America. No person of good will likes lumping all the members of a given race together in the “potential threat” category. No person of good will wants to give up on Dr. King’s dream.
But the reality is that White America and Black America are two separate nations. They have two different and incompatible cultures. As long as blacks and Whites are forced by to live together by Disingenuous White Liberals bent on creating a colorless Utopia, an eventual race war in America becomes a certainty.
