"Oh man, this feels like a novel but it's real! The 70s-80s were still pretty analog so it was easier to, say, book preteen you and your friends a plane ticket to LA from Minneapolis (where you KNOW PRINCE!) to meet Michael Jackson. Like, what?! She is so brilliant but also clever." — 16 hours, 43 min ago

"
yes. i consider myself an anti-historian because of my non-interest and the inaccessibility of a lot of it. zinn's prose and alternate view of things are a great combination. i would recommend this to anyone. fantastic.

“Westerns began to make sense. The hubris of white men began to make sense. For what was this landscape but a canvas to swing a dick around in?”

“Slavery was not merely an unfortunate thing that happened to black people. It was an American innovation, an American institution created by and for the benefit of the elites of the dominant caste and enforced by poorer members of the dominant caste who tied their lot to the caste system rather than to their consciences.”

“When I talk about mediocrity, I talk about how we somehow agreed that wealthy white men are the best group to bring the rest of us prosperity, when their wealth was stolen from our labor.”

“Perhaps one of the most brutal of white male privileges is the opportunity to live long enough to regret the carnage you have brought upon others.”

“How often have you heard the argument that we have to slowly implement gender and racial equality in order to not “shock” society? Who is the “society” that people are talking about? I can guarantee that women would be able to handle equal pay or a harassment-free work environment right now, with no ramp-up. I’m certain that people of color would be able to deal with equal political representation and economic opportunity if they were made available today. So for whose benefit do we need to go so slowly? How can white men be our born leaders and at the same time so fragile that they cannot handle social progress?”
