We of course see it in schools. We see it in the health care system, in prisons. And now, we're seeing it full blown in the war machine. What I ultimately see as the real threat here is that the system of the very existence of the nation state I think is at stake here.\"" quotetext[2]="Katherine Newman on unemployment: \"I think that we need to remember that work anchors people in the social world we live in. It is a lot more than a paycheck. It's their identity; it's their sense of purpose. And that's been true, you know, more or less from the birth of the country.\"" quotetext[3]="John Stewart on the DAILY SHOW and his audience: \"I can assure them they're not getting any journalism from us. We are, if anything — I do believe we function as a sort of editorial cartoon. That we are a digestive process, like so many other digestive processes that go on. The thing about 'you know, there's a lot of young people get this and you know, young people get that from me'. People are very sophisticated consumers of information, and they're pulling all different things.\"" quotetext[4]="Grace Lee Boggs on bottom-up change: \"I think we're not looking sufficiently at what is happening at the grassroots in the country. We have not emphasized sufficiently the cultural revolution that we have to make among ourselves in order to force the government to do differently. Things do not start with governments.\"" quotetext[5]="Melissa Harris Lacewell on achieving justice today: \"I often say that Jim Crow, we could think of Jim Crow as a nail. And the protests against Jim Crow were a hammer. A hammer is an extremely effective tool when you're dealing with a nail. Contemporary racial inequality is structural. It's undercover. It is connected with, also with sort of black achievement which is also going on at the same time. Contemporary racial inequality is a screw, and if you take a hammer and start pounding on a screw, you just end up with a mess which means we have to live with the fact that a new generation is going to have to innovate a screwdriver to deal with the new problem. And that screwdriver might not look anything like the hammer. And we can't keep yelling at them to use a hammer for a new problem.\"" quotetext[6]="Mayor Cory Booker on race and American culture: \"Well, I don't want us to be an America that is sanitized, homogenized, 'deodorized' as a friend of mine says, and forgets about race. The richness of America is that we are diverse. We're not Sweden. We're not Norway. We are a great American experiment. And as soon as we start trying to forget race or turn our back on race, number one, we don't confront the real racial realities that still persist.\"" var ry=Math.floor(Math.random()*myimages.length) if (ry==0) ry=1 document.write('
