These white folk have newspapers (Ralph Ellison)

These white folk have newspapers, magazines, radios, spokemen to get their ideas across. If they want to tell the world a lie, they can tell it so well that it becomes the truth; and if I tell them that you're lying, they'll tell the world even if you prove you're telling the truth. Because it's the kind of lie they want to hear...

Ralph Ellison (in Invisible Man)
