Eliminate the concept of division by class, skills, race, income, and nationality. We are all equals with a common pulse to survive. Every human requires food and water.

Let us recognize that we are all part of each other. We are all human. We are all one.

So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.

As every languageless, stateless, selfless nation has one last, twisted image of its worst and best, we have the ceilidh. Here we pretend we are Highland, pretend we have mysteries in our work, pretend we have work.

Our present and our past creep in to change each other and we feel angry and sad and Scottish. Perhaps we feel free.

Other sovereign democratic states have central governments more corrupted other than our own, but most can fall back on unifying elements we lack: common ethnicity, a shared religion, or near-universal consensus on many fundamental political issues.

Harold Cruse - The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual: A Historical Analysis of the Failure of Black Leadership

The path to the ethnic democratization of American society is through its culture, that is to say through its cultural apparatus, which comprises the eyes, the ears, and the "mind" of capitalism and is twentieth-century voice to the world.

Seeing the problem in another way, to revolutionize the cultural apparatus is to deal fundamentally with the

They’re us. WE BE BAD. We’re the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother’s side. You take your Germany, France, and Spain, roll them all together and it wouldn’t give us room

First, we are a nation of different races, nationalities, and ethnic groups. This brings us to the second commonality… we are all Americans.

These are the bonds that unite us and make us better human beings.
