Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, there will be war everywhere.
And until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation.
Until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes.
And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there will be war.
And, until that day, the dream of a lasting peace, world citizenship and rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained.” - From the selected speeches of Haile Selassie of Ethiopia (Made famous by Bob Marley & the Wailers in the song “War”).
