is inferior to the white man in the endowments of both body and mind. (whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances).

I advance it therefore as a suspicion only, that the blacks, whether originally a distinct race, or made distinct by time and circumstances, are inferior to the whites in the endowments of both body and mind.Thomas Jefferson

is no longer willing to endure his inferiority and the white man is not willing to give up his superiority.

The main barrier between East and West today is that the white man is not willing to give up his superiority and the colored man is no longer willing to endure his inferiority. Pearl S. Buck

is one for whom the real threat to his life (i.e. to black lives) lies not with police but with other young black men insofar as they are generally more than eight times more likely to be murdered than white people.

The real threat to young black men doesn't lie with white police officers at all. In reality, cops don't over-arrest blacks, crime victim reports match arrests in terms of racial data.

Murder is now the number one cause of death for black men sentencing disparities.
