Identifying with the history of black political struggle is key to the group's philosophy, but it's also been an intense experience for them. They think you wanna be a martyr. But really, you wanna be a revolutionary so you can live. I want to live a long and free life, and that's what it's gonna take, so I gotta do it. Freedom is you can say fuck without the bleep.

Freedom is the opposite of what we have lived. Freedom is showing love for the efforts you give. We reserve the right to edit letters that we publish. I'd like to receive occasional emails with ColorLines news, editorials, and event information.
