Howard Zinn Quotes

We See Now A Complex Web Of Historical Threads To Ensnare Blacks For Slavery In America: The Desperation Of Starving Settlers, The Special Helplessness Of The Displaced African, The Powerful Incentive Of Profit For Slave Trader And Planter, The Temptation Of Superior Status For Poor Whites, The Elaborate Controls Against Escape And Rebellion, The Legal And Social Punishment Of Black And White Collaboration. The Point Is That The Elements Of This Web Are Historical, Not "natural." This Does Not Mean That They Are Easily Disentangled, Dismantled. It Means Only That There Is A Possibility For Something Else, Under Historical Conditions Not Yet Realized. And One Of These Conditions Would Be The Elimination Of That Class Exploitation Which Has Made Poor Whites Desperate For Small Gifts Of Status, And Has Prevented That Unity Of Black And White Necessary For Joint Rebellion And Reconstruction.
