- “I think it's not helpful. First of all, it's anachronistic. I mean, that speech would have made sense some years ago. I think we should acknowledge that racism still persists, and we should always be making remedial remedies for it. But we're not in the past. I always keep saying, let's live in the year we're living in. We're not living in the year where you have to be ten times better to succeed. If you're a person of color instances, it's an advantage.“ by Bill Maher
- “The enemies, if they are enemies, doing this intentionally can actually be identified and possibly stopped. And if they do, we are not looking at a dying society. We're looking at a society that's shaking off a mugging and it can thrive for the rest of its life afterward.“ by James Lindsay
