"In a bullfight, after being brutalized while making innumerable charges at the movement of a cape, there comes a time when the bull finally turns and faces his adversary with the only movement being his heaving bloody sides. It is believed that for the first time he really sees the matador. This final confrontation is known as "the moment of truth." For the bull, this moment comes too late."
According to Dr. Wright, the experience of Black people all over the world presents an analogous situation. For hundreds of years, our eureurasiaan (white) matadors have been holding up the capes of democracy, capitalism, Marxism, religion and education and for hundreds of years we have been charging at the movement of these "capes." Like the bull, we too are suffering from near fatal wounds and "indeed have arrived at our "moment of truth." Sisters and brothers, it is time for us to look at the matador and Dr. Wright tries to sharpen our vision.
