We are still conditioning people in this country and, indeed, all over the globe to the myth of white superiority.

Everybody felt his superiority, but nobody felt oppressed by it. Though he had no illusions about people and human affairs, he was full of kindness toward everybody and everything.

Aristotle

The scientist's religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is utterly insignificant reflection.

It is beyond question closely akin to that which has possessed the religious geniuses of all ages.
Albert Einstein
