It all started with knowing that Blacks were once considered to be only 3/5 of a human, which came about during the African Slave Trade. This was set up by the white policymakers of the time because they did not want us kidnapped Africans to have the same civil rights as them and therefore, treat us like animals until we are no longer of use to them. The situation is the same as it was then even after the 13th Amendment that "set Black people free." You can see that with the Diallo murder case of 2000 just how much this country cares about the darker ingredients of the American melting pot. And despite that the Constitution says different, we are NOT FREE and are actually worse of than we were 50 years ago.
"... we get a cold pen to sleep in and crumbs to fill our stomachs. We still are shown as [vicious] animals to this day even though they have domesticated us. And whenever we try to provide a better life for our fellow animals, we get terrorized."
Back then we had to take all the menial jobs such as cooks, janitors, mammies/ pappies, doormen etc. because the country was so racially-segregated. We had to take those jobs back then to survive and make ends meet. This is no longer the case.
Many of those jobs are now going to immigrants from places like Mexico and Eastern European and African countries because they have been blinded to by the American Dream and are willing to work for lower wages. You can see this by looking at who is picking up the dirty dishes in a restaurant or cleaning your bathroom in your dorm. The only jobs that we are still dominant in are security jobs and postal workers. And the problem doesn't stop there; it has become a worldwide phenomenon.
Now we have sweatshops all over the continent of Asia, where the workers are treated inhumanely. Children in the continent of Africa are subjected to cruelty and face death on a daily basis as they are forced to use their bodies to mine for diamonds and minerals that they see very little of the profits made. In South and Latin America, people are used to fight in wars to keep American companies prosperous while families live in shantytowns. Eastern European and Asian are being brought here to keep the black market sex trade thriving. "It is a horrible time to be an animal in America."
So what does this mean? It means that every one of us who are underclassed and underrepresented, despite our respective nationalities, are used as animals to entertain The Man and to do the work The Man is too weak to do. "And even the miserable lives we lead are not allowed to reach their natural span. No animal escapes the cruel knife in the end, which is the fact that this country does not give a good God damn about us in any shape way or form. The only reason we are here is to work like slaves until our lungs give out." And what do we get for any of it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. "What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and soul, for the overthrow of society's evils. That is my answer to you, comrades: REBELLION!"
The problem has always been The Man dividing and conquering us so that we work against each other instead of uniting as one. The solution is that we need to realize that we are all being oppressed by The Man to some degree and form a coalition. Once we get over our different racial and cultural stigmas and stand up for ourselves, we can start to get the freedom that we all need. "I do not know when that Rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but I know, as surely as you and I see a magazine in our hands, that sooner or later justice will be done."It will take a lot of time, sacrifice and, as does ANY true revolution, but we can do it.
"...among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle... Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL!"
ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL!
Peace and Love...
