"Yes, politics IS war without bloodshed; and war is an extension of those politics." ― H. Rap Brown Topic(s): Politics More From H. Rap Brown "An old African leader says about leadership, he says that leadership should never be shared; it should always remain in the hands of the dispossessed people. We will lead the revolution." "The first responsibility of the Muslim is as teacher. That is his job, to teach. His first school, his first classroom is within the household. His first student is himself. He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him." "The only politics in this country that’s relevant to black people today is the politics of revolution… none other." More In Politics "By that I mean, I think that it is true that politics and political heroes have to satisfy our need to be greater than mortal in some way, and that’s led them into creating illusions, sound bites, focus groups that tell you what to do."― Sydney Pollack "Politics is the diversion of trivial men who, when they succeed at it, become important in the eyes of more trivial men."― George Jean Nathan "You’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS."― Bono
