Wise Words from Brother Malcolm

Jury Nullfication - Rogue Juries for Justice

We discussed Paul Butler in class today - I agree with him 100%.
If a minority is accused of a victimless and/or non-violent crime, and I am on the jury for which there is plenty of evidence presented against him, I will find him not guilty... period.

I believe this is my duty.
I am not in law school to send my people to prison. I am so with you, brother.

Liberal vs. Radical

Where I begin to disagree...

1) I don't we are made up of "groups" but I also don't believe in individualism.

• I believe that we are all one.
• When we divide ourselves and create these hierarchies we hurt ourselves and go against our nature of oneness.
• I understand that in functional society there is a great divide of the have and have nots, but I strongly believe focusing on that divide is counterproductive.
• Anyone advocating revolution should hope that we are creating unity.

2) Education IS necessary.

• How do we take the systems apart brick by brick without knowing how to?
• How do we take the systems apart if we don't even realize they are there?
• I get what she is saying but, there must be a revolution of the mind before there is a manifestation of it.
• I don't believe everyone has to be on board, nor that we must systematically wait (generations) for people to understand - but I think it's silly to think education isn't a factor.

I do agree that we consent to our oppression.
But, the awful thing is - most people don't even realize they are oppressed.
They think everything is fine.
They are totally oblivious to the fact that a lot of these things are going on.
Which goes back to why I strongly believe that education is such an important factor.

Which are you?
