Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

When you expand the civil-rights struggle to the level of human rights, you can then take the case of the black man in this country before the nations in the un. you can take it before the general assembly. you can take uncle sam before a world court. but the only level you can do it on is the level of human rights. civil rights keeps you under his restrictions, under his jurisdiction. civil rights keeps you in his pocket.

Imperialism has now reached a degree of almost scientific perfection. it uses white workers to conquer the non-white workers of the colonies. then, it hurls the non-white workers of one colony against those of another non-white colony. finally, it relies on the colored workers of the colonies to rule the white workers. recently, white french soldiers near mutiny in the occupied ruhr of germany, were surrounded by french african soldiers, and colored native light-infantry were sent against white german strikers.
White Light Perfection
To be a true progressive it is not sufficient to stand up and say that one belives in what has been promulgated as progressive principles. one must be progressive in heart and active in promoting the progressive principles of today, tomorrow and always. there is no resting point, for humanity is ever ascending to a higher and better goal.
Heart Goal Humanity
