Status Updates From Beneath the Underdog

Mingus laying down a very similar philosophy to Almanac of the Dead right here - "The white man isn't really together with his own people - to think so is overestimating his power.

He rapes and kills his own, robs his own banks, cheats his own system, ignores his sick and helpless and old."
