Break the wheel of race politics


Corrupting power: The evolution of Daenerys in Game of Thrones from the oppressed to the oppressor angered many fans, but it is a classic story in literature, and unfortunately very close to real life in politics. - HBO via AP

Daenerys: “Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell - they’re all just spokes on a wheel. This one’s on top, then that one’s on top, and on and on it spins, crushing those on the ground.”

Tyrion: “It’s a beautiful dream, stopping the wheel. You’re not the first person who’s ever dreamt it.”
