« Black men are considered a criminal population, concludes criminologist William Chambliss, based on numerous studies, including direct observation by students and faculty as part of a joint project with the D.C. police. But that's not entirely accurate: criminals are supposed to have constitutional rights; however, as this study and many others show, this is not the case for the communities concerned, which are treated as a population under military occupation. »

« The term "national defence" is a bad joke that should border on ridicule among people who still have a little respect for themselves. The United States does not face any threat but spends a lot on "defence" (as much as the rest of the world). Military spending, however, is no joke. Apart from ensuring a particular form of "stability" in managing our country's "permanent interests," the Pentagon is useful in providing for Gingrich and his wealthy voters, so that they can continue to fulminate against the welfare state, which pours public funds into their pockets. »

« The American-led struggle for justice is marred by injustices such as slavery and the exploitation of African Americans, as well as the near-destruction of Aboriginal Indian civilizations. »
