In the long run, the people are our only appeal. The only ones who can free us are ourselves. - Assata Shakur

I wondered how all those people in the states who tried to sound tough, saying that the u.s. should go in here, bomb there, take over this, attack that, would feel if they knew that they were indirectly responsible for babies being burned to death.

Every revolution in history has been accomplished by actions, al-though words are necessary. We must create shields that protect us and spears that penetrate our enemies. Black people must learn how to struggle by struggling. We must learn by our mistakes.

It has never ceased to amaze me how so many people can be tricked into hating people who have never done them any harm.
