You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. Thomas Sankara (via dynamicafrica)

These men who murder our children do not act alone, they are created, taught, driven, armed, sheltered, defended, and justified by a much larger ideology and its institutions.

It must also give...

In the Post-Reconstruction Era, Africans live in overwhelming poverty...

The Past: -The Indians want kill you and take your freedom. We must fight them and suppress you to protect you. -The Spanish/British Crown wants to kill you and take your freedom. We must fight them and suppress you to protect you. The Less Recent Past: -The Huns want to kill you and take your freedom. We must fight them and suppress you to protect you. - The Anarchist want to kill you and take your freedom. We must fight them and suppress you...
