“At the risk of quoting Mephistopheles I repeat: Welcome to hell. A hell erected and maintained by human-governments, and blessed by black robed judges. A hell that allows you to see your loved ones, but not to touch them. A hell situated in America's boondocks, hundreds of miles away from most families. A white, rural hell, where most of the captives are black and urban. It is an American way of death.” WayHumansGovernmentAmericaBlackWhiteHellRiskJudgingBlessedMilesWelcomeRepeatsLoved OnesUrbanCaptivesMiles AwayQuotingMephistophelesBoondocks Author:Mumia Abu-Jamal
