You don’t get special privileges because you get to claim that you believe the same things as the majority.”

If I am just living to fight
Why am I trying to see.
When there aint nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give,
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live,
If I am just living to die?”

Tupac Shakur (1971–1996) rapper and actor
