a little late night Du Bois

“Such degrading of men by men is as old as mankind, and the invention of no one race or people. Ever have men striven to conceive of their victims as different from the victors, endlessly different in soul and blood, strength and cunning, race and lineage. It has been left, however, to Europe and to modern days to discover the eternal world-wide mark of meanness, - COLOR.” - WEB du Bois
