[news] Revolution is Bloody

[Resist!ca]

by Lawrence Ytzhak Braithwaite It is true we shouldn't be afraid of martyrdom, 
however, we should not be selecting and setting each other up for that position 
nor should we be afraid to hold up the images of our martyrs and shout out 
their names and certainly continue the fight and struggle. What is the trap of 
the west? to think, as Gil Scott Heron observed, that the Calvary always comes 
to save the day and that the hero lives to see the glory of that day. We have 
forgotten that it is about the future/the Culture/Sankofa not "the crazy house 
called ameriKKKAnada" and profits. So we are going to get martyrs. We have been 
willing to hide behind martyrs for political, financial and even artistic gain, 
B.U.T. we are going to have to live with the overstanding that we have to be 
willing to be become martyrs
