That's part of American greatness, is discrimination. Yes, sir. Inequality, I think, breeds freedom and gives a man opportunity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.
Inequality is as dear to the American heart as liberty itself.
It is a wise man who said that there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of unequals.
It's much more acceptable for men to work and father kids. There's an inherent inequality, because we want to do it all, and I don't know how we can do this all.
I'm all for philosophical debates about race, but if you look at history, you see that the status quo has power when it's unchallenged. So these conversations about inequality are crucial.
Only very slowly and late have men come to realize that unless freedom is universal it is only extended privilege.
What men value in this world is not rights but privileges.
Americans have so far put up with inequality because they felt they could change their status. They didn't mind others being rich, as long as they had a path to move up as well. The American Dream is all about social mobility in a sense - the idea that anyone can make it.
Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.
Can one preach at home inequality of races and nations and advocate abroad good-will towards all men?
