Quote:
I do not agree that a dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
Of course, in that period and context, those things may have been perfectly normal opinions.

Likewise, it would be the Aztecs that would conquer North America and say that line instead.
