This is the great new problem of mankind. we have inherited a large house, a great ‘world house’ in which we have to live together– black and white, easterner and westerner, gentile and jew, catholic and protestant, muslim and hindu– a family unduly separated in ideas, culture and interest, who, because we can never again live apart, must learn somehow to live with each other in peace.

Any nation that expects to be ignorant and free," jefferson said, "expects what never was and never will be." and if the gap between the educated and the uneducated in america continues to grow as it is in our time, as fast as or faster than the gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between the educated and the uneducated is going to be of greater consequence and the more serious threat to our way of life. we must not, by any means, misunderstand that.

That the religious right completely took over the word christian is a given. at one time, phrases such as christian charity and christian tolerance were used to denote kindness and compassion. to perform a "christian" act meant an act of giving, of acceptance, of toleration. now, christian is invariably linked to right-wing conservative political thought -- christian nation, christian morality, christian values, christian family.

I strongly believe that a small jewish clique which has contempt for the mass of jewish people worked with non-jews to create the first world war, the russian revolution, and the second world war. this jewish/non-jewish elite used the first world war to secure the balfour declaration and the principle of the jewish state of israel.

The gospel of life is not for believers alone: it is for everyone. the issue of life and its defense and promotion is not a concern of the christian alone. although faith provides special light and strength, this question arises in every human conscience which seeks the truth and which cares about the future of humanity. life certainly has a sacred and religious value, but in no way is that value a concern only of believers. the value at stake is one which every human being can grasp by the light of reason; thus it necessarily concerns everyone.

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

I didn't have a knee-jerk reaction like some people did to the language and the violence. my stepfather was a history teacher at lincoln high school in dallas. so, i was already familiar with the n-word and the brutality of slavery. what i was drawn to was the love story between django and broomhilda and how he defends and gets the girl in the end. i thought it was just an amazing and courageous project.
