This country is a nation of thieves. It stole everything it has, beginning with black people. The U. S. cannot justify its existence as the policeman of the world any longer. I do not want to be a part of the American pie. The American pie means raping South Africa, beating Vietnam, beating South America, raping the Philippines, raping every country you’ve been in.

We must question whether or not we want this country to continue being the wealthiest country in the world at the price of raping everybody else.
