The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law. At the root of the American Negro problem is the necessity of the American white man to find a way of living with the Negro in order to be able to live with himself. His Lordship may compel us to be equal upstairs, but there will never be equality in the servants' hall. Before God we are all equally wise equally foolish. Though all men are made of one metal, yet they were not cast all in the same mold.
Inequality is as dear to the American heart as liberty itself.
That all men are equal is a proposition to which at ordinary times no same individual has ever given his assent. All animals are created equal but some animals are created more equal than others. Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality, for one very rich man, thee must be at least five hundred poor. 1999 - 2001 Absolute Figures . All rights reserved.
