>>intelligence and knowledge is lethal...

yep, i remember Malcolm X saying after being asked if he still advocated blacks carrying guns and starting gun clubs, (this is after the hajj too) and he said that it would on be intelligent that if the government were unable or unwilling to assist in the protection of black people, then blacks SHOULD defend themselves, it'd be intelligent for any man to defend himself.

DENMARK VESEY

An ex-slave of a slave trader, he knew the wickedness of slavery and that man was not meant to slave for man. It got to the point where Vesey couldn't bear to have a white person in his presence. He was very outspoken with his hatred for YT. When slaves bowed to YT in the street, he would rebuke them. When the slaves replied, "But we're slaves," Vesey would reply, "You deserve to be slaves." An infamous quote of Vesey was when he said, "We are free, but the white people here won't let us be so; and the only way is to raise up and fight the whites." One of his plans was to takeover of arsenals, guardhouses, powder magazines and naval stores in Charleston, South Carolina, but, he too, was betrayed by a house negro. Vesey and 5 of his aides were hanged on July 2, 1822.
