Yes it's possible. It must start from within the grassroots organizations first and then grow outward. And just because people were in the streets in the 60's doesn't say they were all down for the cause. Look what happend when our black leaders were assasinated in the 60's, who stepped up to keep the ball rolling nobody. People like my uncles and aunts were out there in the 60's but it was because it was the thing to do a fad. We need to raise true warriors that will not lose the pashion for this on going struggle when some of us get jailed or killed. That needs to be fuel for the fire when one of our freedom fighters get's taken out another fills those shoes. Not to pack up and say we can't beat the system and then go work for the very white man that pimps us. Black people must deal with reality more of us are going to die and be jailed for revolution learn to deal with it and know those who do fall did not die for nothing.

Black people stop being scared embrace revolution it's for our future babies.

And stop looking to the sky for someone to save you he aint coming we (Black People) have to save our selves it's time to step the fuck and be willing to go out if it means death then so be it.


Laws belong to those who write them, and to those who use them to control the resources of a society. It does not matter if a law is written in neutral terms. What really matters is wether that law is enforced non-discriminately. Laws are just words written on books.- Amos N. Wilson
