“They ask why we (African Americans) mutilate each other as we do. They ask why we hold so little regard for human life. But to ask why we turned from bad to worse is to ignore from whence we came. You see, you wouldn’t ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals; on the contrary we would all celebrate its tenacity; we would all love its will to reach the sun. Well, I am that rose, this (USA) is the concrete, and these (my experiences) are my damaged petals. Don’t ask me why, (it happened) but thank God, and ask me how (I overcame).”

(Tupac Shakur, Ghetto Poet)
