Whispering of change close enough to taste
Hit more in the next entry for a few other Steve Biko quotes, but I thought this one really needed to go up front:
"We are not concerned with that curious bunch of non-conformists...that bunch of do-gooders that goes under all sorts of names - liberals, leftists, etc. These are all the people who argue that they are not responsible for white racism...These are all the people who claim that they too feel the oppression just as acutely as the blacks and therefore should be jointly involved in the black man's struggle.... In short, these are the people who say that they have black souls wrapped up in white skins."
Discuss.
Or don't.
Clearly, the conservative/libertarian crowd has exactly jack shit to contribute, and may remain silent.
Wait, change "may" to "should."
On second thought, make it "fucking well better."
