BRAVO! Your article is a timely revelation of truth! I am grateful to finally read ALTERNATIVE views in the media. Thank you, so much. I especially appreciate your making a statement that is critical of the white
supremacists assuming the role of "parent" over non-white people of the
world, by the following quote: "As Eric Berne says, talk Adult to Adult, not Parent to Child." . . . Thank you, very much, for contributing a candid perspective of the
"Attack on America" from the nation of India. And thank you, Metro Connection: Metro DC's Guide to Arts, Entertainment & Black People's Culture, for providing an Internet presence for the voices of
people of colour. Right on, everybody! Forward! ---Much "love" & respect, Prema |
The wisdom of Malcolm X and Kwame Ture.
As I watch, over and over again, the reruns of the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon on fire, the symbols of white supremacy, of the U.S.
military-industrial-police-intelligence complex smoldering in ruins; and as I
listen to the growing and racist drumbeat for war, I remember the wisdom of
Malcolm X and Kwame Ture.
The master, and his/her "western civilization," is sick, not us slaves.
His/her house, the racist capitalist system, is on fire, not our plantation
shacks.
Hell no, I did not go to Vietnam, or Grenada, or Haiti, or Iraq, or Libya, or
Panama, or Somali, or Sudan. Hell no, I will not go, to Afghanistan or
Columbia!
Victory of the Oppressed Peoples of the world is certain, no matter the time
or sacrifice! Then and only then, will there be no more morning, or
grieving, or tears. In the meantime, the struggle continues, and the work of
the genuine progressive and revolutionary forces of the world intensifies.
