They are gathered together, the captains of killing, in their dark cars, with slippery eyes and swollen fingers, staring out at the oil-stained fields of death. They want it all. They do. They expect it all. They plan to take it.
All.
And they will--unless we stand up, unless we realize that this is no different than Germany in 1933, unless we take a stand together.
As artists we must band together to let our words and images speak truth to power. As concerned citizens, people who care, we MUST take a stand so that others in this world can live in peace.
As people of color, all colors, we have to love each other and DO what is right and fair and supports the planet and ALL people, not just rich white people.
I have dropped my connection to the white boy world—no longer will I take consulting jobs, no longer will I lend my expertise to support and help corporations. My $175.00 an hour consulting jobs—GONE. My fancy Platinum American Express Card—GONE. My belief and acceptance of the “status quo”—LONG GONE.
Because if we don’t stop it now something will stop US later on. Read a history book. Take a stand. Fight the power, fight the powers that be.
