For the most part, DNA is examined when creating champion horses, dogs, and other highly trained animals. It is used when keeping a particular breed pure and specific for controlled reproduction. DNA is the code that decides everything about what it makes up. This also applies to humans in most cases. The more skills and training we have the more we are worth. It is also used and examined for forensic evidence when solving a case and tracing roots. Why haven't we used this information when it comes to understanding ourselves, our relationships, our spouse and children, actually anyone? In this book it is used for understanding relationships. What is truth? Fact, reality, certainty, genuineness, accuracy. Truth is something the most intelligent beings can agree upon. It is something that benefits all, not just a particular party or individual. It is something that continues to grow. A lie is just the opposite: untruth, fiction, fabrication, deceit, story. The point I'm trying to make is what is in your mind is only in your mind until you have proven it to be truth. The truth will set you free of pain and suffering, but do you have the courage to face it?

Übersetzt und herausgegeben von Gabriel Kuhn. Trotz der Wahl Barack Obamas zum Präsidenten der USA hat für viele radikale afroamerikanische AktivistInnen die Notwendigkeit eines revolutionären Schwarzen Befreiungskampfs nichts an Aktualität eingebüßt. Ein wichtiger Bezugspunkt für viele der in diesem Kampf engagierten Gruppen – etwa Anarchist People of Color – ist die von 1994 bis 1997 herausgegebene Zeitschrift 'Black Autonomy'. Die Herausgeber, Greg Jackson und Lorenzo Komboa Ervin, verpflichteten sich einerseits einem internationalen Klassenkampf und versuchten mit ihrem Konzept einer 'Black Autonomy' einen 'Black Nationalism' zu überwinden; andererseits kritisierten sie die weiße US-amerikanische Linke unerbittlich für ihren strukturellen Rassismus und betonten die Notwendigkeit unabhängiger Schwarzer Organisation. Greg Jacksons 'Tötet den Bullen in eurem Kopf!' ist einer der in diesem Zusammenhang erschienenen Schlüsseltexte. In dem vorliegenden Band wird er durch ein rückblickendes Interview Jacksons ergänzt, das auch jüngere Entwicklungen innerhalb der revolutionären Bewegung der USA diskutiert.
