‎”We are told we are fighting terrorists; the real terrorist was me and the real terrorism is in this occupation. Racism within the military has long been an important tool to justify the destruction and occupation of another country. It’s long been used to justify the killing, subjugation and torture of another people. Racism is a vital weapon employed by this government. It’s a more important weapon than a rifle, a tank, a bomber or a battleship…Poor and working people in this country are sent to kill poor and working people in other country and make the rich richer
without racism we realize that we have more common with the Iraq people than we have with billionaires that send us to war. We need to wake up and realize that our real enemy is not the ones living in a distant land the people whose names we don’t know and cultures we don’t understand. The enemy is people we know very well and people we can identify. The real enemy is a system that wages war when it’s profitable the enemy is the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it’s profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it’s profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it’s profitable. Our enemies are not five thousands miles away the are right here home but if we organize and fight with our sisters and brothers we can stop this war we can stop this government and we can create a better world.” - Mike Prysner from Winter Soldiers testimony.
