Professor Foner is awesome. I've read a few of his books and I use his text book in my U.S. history classes. I could listen to him all day. Thanks for posting.

Black people need economic freedom

Foner is great.

Great interview!

The populations of the 1st Nation were decimated under colonial expansion and reservations (concentration camps?). The populations from Africa were decimated under slavery, apartheid, poverty neighborhoods and prison. Lots of bad karma for this country.

I am anti-caste-system and will not accept any form of caste-system in my country. Does that make me a racist against Hindus? No. There are international human rights, composed by very smart people! They must be respected by law. I am against Islam, because they worship a person that is almost the exact opposite of the international human rights. Does that make me a racist? No. I simply dislike the ideology with grounded reasons. People being anti-Muslim are not stupid, social justice is irrational. PS: Jezus was a pacifist, said all humans were equal and took care of the handicapped etc... so abolishing Christianity is probably the most stupid thing of this century. Our most important social values like monogamy, pacifism and equality are Christian. (Grtz; a non-religious Belgian student Economical and Social Sciences; Un. of Antwerp.)

I think the quote is "Only unreasonable people accomplish anything"
