“Now we maintain that we cannot be afford to be concerned about 6 percent of the …” — Stokely Carmichael

Capitalism is a stupid system, a backward system.

Seems to me that the institutions that function in this country are clearly racist, and that they're built upon racism.

It is a call for black people in this country to unite, to recognize their heritage, to build a sense of community. It is a call for black people to define their own goals, to lead their own organizations.

So that the failures to pass a civil rights bill isn't because of Black Power, isn't because of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; it's not because of the rebellions that are occurring in the major cities.
