“The power structure automatically imposes a frame of reference which force people to see things from the Man's point of view. When a policeman shoots a nigger, that's 'law and order.' But when a black man defends himself against a pig, that's 'violence.' The role of the revolutionary is to create public theatre which creates a revolutionary frame of reference. The power to define is the power to control.” — Jerry Rubin
