Ibomu/Omali Yeshitela [00:19.292]I'm not a hunter but I am told [00:22.636]That, in places like in the Arctic [00:26.946]Where indigenous people sometimes might hunt a wolf [00:32.980]They'll take a double edged blade [00:36.219]And they'll put blood on the blade [00:38.152]And they'll melt the ice and stick the handle in the ice [00:42.724]So that only the blade is protruding [00:45.362]And that a wolf will smell the blood and wants to eat [00:49.150]And it'll come and lick the blade, trying to eat [00:53.173]And what happens is when the wolf licks the blade [00:56.621]Of course, he cuts his tongue, and he bleeds [00:59.442]And he thinks he's really having a good meal [01:00.983]And he drinks, and he licks, and he licks [01:02.420]And of course, he is drinking his own blood and he kills himself [01:05.111]That's what the Imperialists did to us with crack c*caine [01:07.853]You got these young brothers out there thinking that they're getting something [01:11.040]That they're gonna make a living with [01:12.556]They is getting something so they can buy a car [01:14.175]Like the white people have cars, why can't I have a car? [01:16.813]They getting something so they can get a piece of gold [01:19.974]White people have gold, why can't I have gold? [01:22.012]They're getting something to get a house [01:23.788]White people have a house, why can't I have a house? [01:25.669]And they actually think that there's something that's bringing resources to them [01:29.613]But they're killing themselves just like the wolf was licking the blade [01:32.461]And they're slowly dying without knowing it [01:34.342]That's what's happening to the community, you with me on that? [01:37.293]That's exactly and precisely what happens to the community [01:40.924]And instead of blaming the hunter who put the damn [01:44.059]Handle and the blade in the ice for the wolf [01:47.638]What happens is the wolf gets blamed for trying to live [01:51.452]That's what happens in our community [01:53.751]You don't blame the person, the victim [01:55.631]You blame the oppressor! [01:56.911]Imperialism, white power is the enemy [01:59.733]Was the enemy when it first came to Africa [02:02.058]Snatched up the first African [02:03.338]Brought us here against our will [02:04.827]Is the enemy today [02:06.969]That's the thing that we have to understand
