I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.

– Martin Luther King Jr. (1963)

It’s also tragic what they did to Helen Keller.

The woman was a brilliant, opinionated socialist who fought capitalism publicly and vehemently - bravely and without any deference to those she didn’t respect…

…and history remembers her for learning to say the word “water”, completely making her seem like a simpleton who barely learned to function. It’s insulting and horrible.

I love the sentiment, but I always shy away from this particular quote, simply because it is unsubstantiated:

Who’s the genius to sanitized American history, I think Goebbels could learn a few things from them. Modern American education even though college makes modern American history seem like a bunch of helpless minorities decided to protest until the benevolent white people gave them rights, and modern political activism shows it. The history of labor is barely even mentioned.
