If I may add, for instance, [Martin Luther] King and these others will say that they are fighting for the Negro to have equal job opportunity. How can people, a group of people, such as our people, who own no factories, have equal job opportunities competing against the race that owns the factories?The only way the two can have equal job opportunities is if black people have factories as, as well as white people have factories.

Malcolm X

Richard Wagner

The only way the two can have equal job opportunities is if black people have factories as, as well as white people have factories.

Tom Carper

Men can make an idol of the Bible.

Henry Ward Beecher
