You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it. You show me a capitalist, and I'll show you a bloodsucker. You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom. Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world. We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary. Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change. The only way we'll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world. We are blood brothers to the people of Brazil, Venezuelan Haiti and Cuba. If you have no critics you'll likely have no success. If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defence of her. If it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defence of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country. |
