“When any white man in the
world picks up a gun and | A
says; give me liberty or give
me death, the entire white
world applauds. But when a
Black man says exactly
same thing word for word,
he's judged as a criminal,
(by whites) and treated as i
one. And everything
possible is done to make an
example of him to ensure
there wouldn't be anymore
like him.”
