Questioning the accepted

"I'm not mad at the world. I'm questioning the world. I'm questioning it with cold logic, sir. What do words like Freedom, Liberty, God,White, Colored mean? I want to know. That's why you are sending to school, to read and to ask questions. And because we ask these questions, you call us mad. No sir, it is not us who are mad."
"You keep saying 'us'?"
"'Us.' Yes-us. I'm not alone."

Ignorance is bliss. People in gerneral are unyielduing to change and only want to hear what they desire to, what appeals to their intellect and what does not challenge their views.
Leaders and individuality is something that is very hard to find because people believe without knowing, people trust without understanding, and peole give up without trying. These people such as the preacher and the lady who will make reform almost impossible. Simply because they are unable to open up their eyes, and not be blinded and overly mesmerized by what the white people promise them. Therefoe, black people can trully decifer truth from false and create their own ideas and morals. If more people were ceptable to change instead of calling revolutionary ideals ludacris, change or progress would occur.
