The Abnormality of American Violence and Conditioning — Shahid Bolsen

“The American mind resets every morning, and that is the perfect condition for those in Power.”

On the conditioning of White people in the U.S.:

“…if people really understood history, then they would recognize that nothing about the American system is accidental. Everything from its racial hierarchy to its economic disparities, to its unjust foreign policies is simply the continuation of an old script.”

The perspective given here is one I am most familiar, and for many others when considering Justice as one of the fundamental pillars of Islam.

“And when I speak, I don’t speak as a Democrat. Or a Republican. Nor an American. I speak as a victim of America’s so-called democracy. You and I have never seen democracy – all we’ve seen is hypocrisy. When we open our eyes today and look around America, we see America not through the eyes of someone who has enjoyed the fruits of Americanism. We see America through the eyes of someone who has been the victim of Americanism. We don’t see any American dream. We’ve experienced only the American nightmare.” — Malcolm X
