Eliot

There is no place for [the Bantu] in the European community above the level of certain forms of labour ... What is the use of teaching the Bantu child mathematics when it cannot use it in practice? That is quite absurd. Education must train people in accordance with their opportunities in life, according to the sphere in which they live. — Hendrik Verwoerd
Either you allow Holy Scriptures to change you, or you will normally try to use it to change--and clobber--other people.
