Robert Salladay on Bastille Day

"Don't expect a revolution or a populist shift for France. The monarchy is too organized to let that happen."

Robert Salladay on the civil rights movement: "Don't expect a revolution or a massive social shift for black people. Racists are too organized to let that happen."

I could pretty much do this all day...

...adding, I'm not comparing myself to someone storming the Bastille or sitting at a restricted lunch counter. Just that Salladay has a crucial misunderstanding of the potential of people-powered movements.
