“If we don’t do something real soon, I think you’ll have to agree that we’re going to be forced either to use the ballot or the bullet. It’s one or the other in 2015. It isn’t that time is running out – time has run out!2015 threatens to be the one of the most explosive year America has ever witnessed. The most explosive year. Why? It’s also a political year. It’s the year when all of the politicians will be back in the so-called Black community hustling you and me for some votes. The year when all of the political crooks will be right back in your and my community with their false promises, building up our hopes for a letdown, with their trickery and their treachery, with their false promises which they don’t intend to keep. As they nourish these dissatisfactions, it can only lead to one thing, an explosion; and now we have the type of black people on the scene in America today – I’m sorry, Brother Lomax – who just doesn’t intend to turn the other cheek any longer.” - El Hajj Malik El shabazz I (The Ballot and the bullet) just changed a few things to match the relevance this still has today.
