President KEXNEDY vas ausassinated I was
making a speech at the Manhattan Center in
Wew York and the topic was God's Judgnent of
‘White Americans and the point that I was
making was that just as Rome fe11 because of
the seeds of slavery aud some of these other
Espires like the Greek Empire, the Persian
EKapire, the Babylonian Empire and then —
Biblically you had th@ Sodonites and the |
Egyptians and so forth just as the seeds —
that they sewed wltimately brought sbout
their own undoing I was showing how
the seeds that America had sewed by the
enslavement of the Negroes in this country
vas bringing about her undoing today plus
er, os pepase
How does that relate to the assassination
of President KENNEDY. 7
I'm getting to it. Pius her involvexent
in the affairs of others ali over the world
illegally and immorally was beginning to come
backbone upon her and had created a climate,
the reporters said, a climate of hate in this
country which brought about a situation
where someore would assassinate the President
of the country. So that when I said the
chickens had come home to roost I wasn't
speaking about the death of an individual
man I was saying the same thing that the
reporters had said when they referred
to it as the climate of hate. The climate
of hate that had been created in this country
was not by ne, not by blacks but by ones
who were responsible for depriving the civil
rights demonstrators, the boycotters, the
freedom riders and others, they were the ones
who had created this climate of hate so I
said the chickens came home to roost not
meaning that I was happy over the death of
an individual but all of this was part of
the overall collective (inaudible) that had
come down upon the head of one man.
