“A revolution is bloody, but America is in a unique position. She's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. The Russian revolution was bloody, Chinese revolution was bloody, French revolution was bloody, Cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the American Revolution. But today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. All she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.” MenGivingCountryTodayAmericaBlackPositionRevolutionInvolvedUniqueDuesChineseBloodyAmerican RevolutionCubanBloodshedFrench RevolutionRussian RevolutionCuban RevolutionChinese Revolution Author:Malcolm X

“... the connection between imperial politics and culture is astonishingly direct. American attitudes to American "greatness", to hierarchies of race, to the perils of "other" revolutions (the American revolution being considered unique and somehow unrepeatable anywhere else in the world) have remained constant, have dictated, have obscured, the realities of empire, while apologists for overseas American interests have insisted on American innocence, doing good, fighting for freedom.” WorldRealityCultureFightingInterestRaceAttitudeGreatnessRevolutionUniqueDirectConnectionsConstantInnocenceEmpiresHierarchyPerilDoing GoodAmerican RevolutionFighting For FreedomAmerican GreatnessGood Fighting Author:Edward Said
“The revolution taught me not to be consoled by other people's miseries, not to feel thankful because so many others had suffered more.
