Yo, it's a whole bunch of cool/appropriate/whatever quotes. Much easier than writing up my own shitty commentaries! Newest quotes at the top.
"A grave danger represents itself. Two-fifths of the insurgents in the field are negroes. These men would, in the event of success, demand a predominant share in the government of the country . . . the result being, after years of fighting, another black republic." --Winston Churchill, 1896
"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance that a great wrong has been done to the red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race, a more worldly-wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place." --Winston Churchill, 1937
"We insisted on reserving the right to bomb niggers." --British Prime Minister Lloyd George, 1932
"The UN can meet and discuss, but we don't need their permission." --White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card
"Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of 'patriotism' -- how passionately I hate them! How vile and despicable seems war to me!" --Albert Einstein
"Christianity is a good philosophy if you live it, but it's controlled by white people who preach it but don't practice it. They just organize it and use it any which way they want to. If the white man lived Christianity, it would be different. But I tell you, I think it's against nature for European people to live Christian lives. Their nations were founded on killing, on wars. France, Germany, the bunch of 'em. It's been one long war ever since they existed. And if they're not killing each other over there, they're shooting Indians over here. And if they're not after the Indians, they're after the reindeer and every other living thing they can kill, even elephants. It's always violence and war for the Christian." --Muhammad Ali, 1975
