Every Once In A While, You Live

You See Martin Luther King Is Dead And Huey Newton Is Not. And Malcolm X Is Dead And Bobby Seale Is Not. And Vernon Jordan Was Shot. The Thing That Revolutionaries, Or Even People Who Want To Claim They're Revolutionaries, Often Forget Is That It Doesn't Make No Difference What Kind Of Wardrobe You Wear, And If You Speak Up About Black People Doing Better You Just Risked Your Life.

I've Always Had Questions About What It Meant To Be A Protester, To Be In The Minority. Are The People Who Are Trying To Find Peace, Who Are Trying To Have The Constitution Apply To Everybody, Are They Really The Radicals? We're Not Protesting From The Outside. We're Inside.

The Truth Is That In This Country You Here You're More Likely To Be Harassed, Hurt, Or Killed If You're A Minister Speaking About Progress For Black People Than If You Are A Sure Enough Revolutionary.
