"When you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, the result of a revolution, and the method used in a revolution, you may change words.... Look at the American Revolution in 1776. That revolution was for what ? For land. Why did they want land ? Independence....(revolution is) based on land, the basis of independence... Land ; the landless against the landlord !" Malcom X..November, 1963. Barack Obama now please stand up, and hold your own ground.
