Zombies Of "Color"

"But I've heard you criticizing us with 'black this and black that' as if you don't identify with us and then you get involved in this riot . . ."
"I know what you're gonna say, but it contradicts you as a human."
"No, you're the contradiction . . ."

"You say that because you and I -- and all babies -- are born as babies and not as colors -- "
"That's nonsense.  We were all born some color . . ."
"But if we get hung-up on that 'color thing' that can get the other part  of us -- the essence of us -- in big trouble --"
"There ain't no 'other part of us'.  If we in trouble, every part of us is in trouble . . ."
"Take, for example, those hundreds and hundred of 'people of color' who in the '80s followed this preacher -- I think he was Indian or part Indian, anyway he wasn't black -- into a jungle in South America and he had them all kill their babies by giving them  poison cool-aide to drink and then kill themselves by drinking poison cool-aide --"

"Color didn't have anything to do with that, people of all colors was in that society -- you just said that the preacher was Indian or part Indian --"
"And that's what made him more acceptable to these 'people of color,' these black people who were dedicated to 'total integration' . . ."
" 'Total integration' was the cry from the masses of black people in those days --"
"But don't you think that there was a part of each of those persons that rejected poisoning their babies and themselves?"
"Yes,  but . . ."

"And 90% of those 'people of color' who follwed that preacher into that jungle and poisoned their babies and themselves were blacks -- and the part of me that stood up against that ignorant rioting and motivated me to lead some people into the street in this town that night to stop it was not about color --"
"What was it about?"
"Think about it, it'll come to you."
