“To make a contented slave, you must make a thoughtless one. It is necessary to darken his moral and mental vision, and, as far as possible, to annihilate his power of reason. He must be able to detect no inconsistencies in slavery.”
From Life and Times of Frederick Douglass: (An African American Heritage Book)
