Quote:

"I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence."

My goal:

That's a funny word, goal. The word means "something that somebody wants to acheive." With that definition, my goal is to rebuild the self-esteem of fellow black brothers and to destroy the ideals of racism and white supremacy by any means necessary. However this "goal" isn't just something I want to acheive... it's a duty that I must fulfill as an activist, child of God, and a man.

"If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism." Spike Lee

Just in case you still can't find that much about me.

Benson, Michael. Malcolm X. Minneapolis: Lerner Publications Company, 2005. Print.

My father was an activist and a minister which means he spoke to the public and acted for them as well. He was a well-rounded man who cared for the tranquility of justice and that taught me about the pride of being an African American. It is men like my father who teach the world that power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression. Now, this same man that fought for truth was the same man that fought for his life on February 21,1965, when a group of KKK members decided to kill my father and tie him to train tracks at a station just few miles away from my home. With that knowledge, I no longer cared for safety, peace, simplicity, or the "tranquility of justice", I wanted a violent revolution. Not because I wanted revenge, but the Negro revolution is controlled by foxy white liberals, by the Government itself. But the Black Revolution is controlled only by God and there's no disorder or chance of losing with that control. So for those who don't know me, that is who I am: a man that is controlled by God, persuaded by pride and revigorated by rage.
