"When the enemy expands...you contract. When the enemy contracts...you EXPAND"--Bruce Lee

[TheQuestioner]

“Two thousand seasons into slavery. Two thousand seasons to Freedom.�

"When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire . . . or preserve his freedom." – Malcolm X

“Sometimes....when you finally get over that wall....you gotta throw a rope back.....not help them build it higher�

"Revolutions Begin In The Mind."

"The mind is a terrible thing to waste."

"To the so-called Believers that are absent of love, you cannot use God to promote ideas of discrimination and hate. " – Carl Patton

“If we, as a people, realized the greatness from which we came (Africa) we would be less likely to disrespect ourselves. Our lives did not begin in slave shanties on plantations in the United States and the Caribbean, we, as deposed Africans have a responsibility to our youth to reinforce this fact.� – Marcus Mosiah Garvey

“He who controls the past, controls the future. He who controls the future, controls the present.� George Orwell, whose real name was George Arthur Blair (1903-50)

I don't have any problem with it as long as you acknowledge Brother Richard Aoki as the quoter.
