"[Some] used their belief that blacks were innately lacking in ability to justify, for example, forbidding the teaching of blacks. Frederick Law Olmsted’s response to the claim that blacks were no more capable of being educated than animals were was to ask why there were no laws forbidding animals from being educated."   -Thomas Sowell

 

I had a leftwing friend years ago and I explained why I was so outraged by NPR.  “Taking my tax money to push an ideological agenda I hate!”

 

My friend couldn’t wrap his head around what I was so mad about.

 

The failure to put themselves in our shoes is almost total.

 

Therefore I propose hundreds of radio stations and podcasts funded by the left via tax money which push rightwing politics.  We have to explain less and illustrate more.

 

“I never learned how to tune a harp, or play upon a lute; but I know how to raise a small and obscure city to glory and greatness...whereto all kindreds of the earth will pilgrim.”  -Themistocles
