[Rev. Jeremiah Wright] What Malcolm X said when he got silenced by Elijah Mohammed was in fact true America's chickens, are coming home to roost We took this country by terror, away from the Sioux, the Apache, the Arowak, the Comanche, the Arapahoe, the Navajo. Terrorism We took Africans from their country to build our way of ease and kept them enslaved and living in fear Terrorism We bombed Granada and k**ed innocent civilians, babies, non-military personnel We bombed the black civilian community of Panama with stealth bombers and k**ed unarmed teenagers and toddlers, pregnant mothers, and hardworking fathers We bombed Qaddafi's home and k**ed his child Blessed are they who bash your children's head against a rock We bombed Iraq We k**ed unarmed civilians trying to make a living We bombed a plant in Sudan to payback for the attack on our emba**y k**ed hundreds of hardworking people Mothers and fathers who left home to go that day not knowing that they would never get back home We bombed Hiroshima We bombed Nagasaki and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye Kids playing in the playground, mothers picking up children after school, civilians, not soldiers, people just trying to make it day by day We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and Black South Africans and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards America's chickens are coming home to roost Violence begets violence Hatred begets hatred And terrorism begets terrorism
