 Change America

  What We Needed To Change

"I do not imagine that the white and black races will ever live in any country upon an equal footing. But I believe the difficulty to be still greater in the United States than elsewhere. An isolated individual may surmount the prejudice of religion, of his country, or of his race, and if this individual is a king he may effect surprising changes in society; but a whole people cannot rise, as it were, above itself. A despot who should subject the Americans and their former slaves to the same yoke, might perhaps succeed in commingling their races; but as long as the American democracy remains at the head of affairs, no one will undertake so difficult a task; and it may be foreseen that the freer the white population of the United States becomes, the more isolated will remain." -Alexis De Tocqueville- //Democracy in American// (1835) [|Violence] [|We Must Accept Each other]

“When an opinion has taken root amongst the minds of the democratic people, and established itself in the minds of the bulk of the community, it afterwards subsists by itself and is maintained without effort, because no one attacks it. Those who first reject it as false… and those who still dispute it in their hearts, conceal their dissent; they are careful not to engage in a dangerous and useless conflict.” -Alexis de Tocqueville Democracy in America (2000, pg. 799)
