    “The inference is, that God has restated the superiority of the West. God always does like that when a thousand white people surround one dark one. Dark people are always “bad” when they do not admit the Divine Plan like that.

    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
