John McWhorter
“The war on drugs is what makes thugs.”
John H. McWhorter

Steven Pinker
“Feminism as a movement for political and social equity is important, but feminism as an academic clique committed to eccentric doctrines about human nature is not. Eliminating discrimination against women is important, but believing that women and men are born with indistinguishable minds is not. Freedom of choice is important, but ensuring that women make up exactly 50 percent of all professions is not. And eliminating sexual assaults is important, but advancing the theory that rapists are doing their part in a vast male conspiracy is not.”
Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature

Robert G. Ingersoll
“And why does this same God tell me how to raise my children when he had to drown his?”
Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses

Penn Jillette
“There is no god, and that's the simple truth. If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.”
Penn Jillette, God, No! Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales

John McWhorter
“[I] would argue that native-born blacks are so vastly less "African" than actual Africans that calling ourselves 'African American' is not only illogical but almost disrespectful to African immigrants. Here are people who were born in Africa, speak African languages, eat African food, dance in African ways, remember African stories, and will spiritually always be a part of Africa -and we stand up and insist that we, too, are 'African' because Jesse Jackson said so?”
John McWhorter
