lyrics

[Bobby Seale]
"When we went to the capital, we were there to deliver a message based upon our understanding of what racism is and how it is inflicted upon us in our communities in America, and deliver this message to the world."

"...that we were anti-white. That we hold no bones... This is a quote.
Pick no bones about being anti-white.
This is a bold faced lie!
We don’t hate nobody because of their color.
We hate oppression!
We hate the murder of black people in our communities
We hate the gross unemployment that exists in our communities"

“We don’t hate nobody because of their color.”
“We don’t hate nobody because of their color.”
“We don’t hate nobody because of their color.
We hate oppression!”

The history of oppression.

You know we can’t erase it in a pop song
but the facts we gotta face it.

Men rape women and man rapes the environment.
And people with opposed religious views are violent.

How can we advance with a memory so short.
We live in a society that kills animals for sport.

And how can we discuss gender, class, or race
when we can’t respect the rights of lesbians and gays.

[Greta Thunberg]
'People are suffering.
People are dying.
Entire ecosystems are collapsing'

[Harvey Milk]
“We must destroy the myths once and for all and shatter them. We must continue to speak out”

In our efforts to make a difference we specialize
but the contradiction arise. We fail to realize

the damages done to the Native American.
These singular issues —
I just can’t understand

how you can love one
and have hatred for another.
You torture your sisters while saying peace to your brothers.

As long as we insist on being so aggressive,
we will continue to play the role of the oppressor.

When men and women, straight and gay,
whites and non-whites begin to unite;
when humans can treat non-human species with fairness and dignity,
then only then is there Unity.

[x2]
Gotta understand the concept of Unity… of Oppression
Make a sacrifice for the price of Unity.

To all the white liberals and non-white militants
that over-simplify the impact of prejudice.

Blame it on the whites and you’re right but it keeps us divided;
that agenda becomes short-sighted.

I hear you condemning all racist sentiments
and then I hear you making anti-Semitic comments.

Instead of only allowing one type of equality,
place the blame on each other.

Yet we should be expanding our scope
of understanding and hope.
Just posing some questions
and make some suggestions.

We don’t claim to speak from a position of authority,
we only want one thing and that’s Unity.

[x5]
Gotta understand the concept of Unity… of Oppression
Make a sacrifice for the price of Unity.

[Harvey Milk]
"to the gay community all over this state, my message to you is, so far a lot of people joined us and rejected Proposition 6, and now we owe them something. We owe them to continue the education campaign that took place. We must destroy the myths once and for all, shatter them. We must continue to speak out, and most importantly, most importantly, every gay person must come out..."

[Bobby Seale]
“We don’t hate nobody because of their color"
"We don’t hate nobody because of their color"
"We don’t hate nobody because of their color.
We hate oppression!
We hate the murder of black people in our communities
We hate the gross unemployment that exists in our communities"

[Harvey Milk]
"...every gay person must come out. As difficult as it is, you must tell your immediate family, you must tell your relatives, you must tell your friends, if indeed they are your friends, you must tell your neighbors, you must tell the people you work with, you must tell the people in the stores you shop in (thunderous applause), and once they realize that we are indeed their children, that we are indeed everywhere, every myth, every lie, every innuendo will be destroyed once and for all. And once you do, you will feel so much better."

[x4]
Unity.
