I'm glad there was no social media when Malcolm X was rising because some of you would've been stuck on Detroit Red and not allowed him to grow.

Admittedly, the past couple years I have presented a diluted version of myself in order to make others comfortable. The result was I began to make myself uncomfortable. The lesson I learned was to never compromise potency to satisfy the palates of the ungrateful.

Never forget 22 year-old Oscar Grant who was murdered by police in Oakland, CA New Year’s Day 2009 at Fruitvale Station. I will also never forget my neighborhood friend, 19 year-old Anthony Villanueva, murdered by police 11:57 pm New Year's Eve 1997 in Bridgeport, CT.

@CornelWest I have respect for you, but this right here is TOTALLY off! “ugly Palestinian retaliation”? There is no turning the other cheek when it comes to imperialism! We can’t play both sides of the fence. Let me know when you have time to return to the platform to discuss.

Georgia DA calls the murder of 26 year-old cop city environmental activist Tortuguita “justifiable”. Autopsy revealed Tortuguita was sitting cross-legged on the ground with hands raised when Georgia troopers shot them fifty-seven times. This is corporate funded urban warfare!

Folks who say, "a third political party will split the vote and the republicans will win" have a very immature analysis. In the words of George Jackson, "The fascists already have power. An electoral choice of ten different fascists is like choosing which way one wishes to die"
