This is a difficult time in America, when race has come to the forefront in many different ways and brought forth the unpleasant realization that we didn’t end racism with the election of a black President and that indeed there are many segments of our society, both white and black, where racism operates all the time, subtly if not overtly. It might seem inevitable that in these conditions people will be oversensitive and overreact, just to try to deny this truth.

But it does no service to either justice or racial harmony to make a reasonable criticism into an ugly smear. As a nation, we have to be more reasoned.-Kirkpatrick Sale

A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within. The essential causes of the Roman decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggles and failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, and consuming wars.– Will Durant
