Rebels are Obedient to the Unpopular

What's a riot to one person is an uprising to another.

Nothing will make you more aware of how deceitful the media is than being covered by the media.

To me, the realest rebels are actually very obedient. We're very loyal. We're obedient to something that is unpopular.

The Muslims say that the human being is an obedient creature, and the question is to what am I going to be obedient? And to what degree am I willing to sacrifice for that obedience? A lot of us are obedient to our egos.

Dominators, one of the things they really love to do is make us think that everything in our life is an isolated incident.

We're taught indoctrinated with this way of thinking before we're even of an age to make decisions about what kind of people we want to be.

Think about the way we're oriented, the way our minds are trained to think about things and about people.

We all have ways of understanding our spirituality, but if you get to the center of it, we're all unified...there's not a superiority in somebody's humanity of one person over another person.

We can't trust people whose goal is domination. We can't trust these people to inform us about each other. We have to learn about each other from each other.

There's no reason for us to constantly learn about each other from sources that don't have our cooperation in mind, that don't have our humanity in their focus. They're here to sell us stuff... We've got to get our ideas for ourselves and from each other.

A lot of us are obedient to our egos. Every good thing I do has my ego in it, too. I have to constantly work on that, and pray and hope those good things are accepted from whatever good was in the intention.

To what am I going to be loyal, and to what degree am I willing to suffer and sacrifice for that?

The work for justice isn't charity work.

Our destiny is all tied up together. You can't be a human being by yourself. You can't be white by yourself, either; you gotta have somebody to be better than. There's no such thing as whiteness independent of somebody else to be nonwhite or an other.
