PR. Pr: I°SCK PANTHE °sARTY C me ee + know what's happening go to the right hand of the dial. (Next sentence unintelligible.) "So I feel very much at home here. And the brothers were worrying bout my safety and so forth and so on, fuck that, the pias didn't care anything about my safety off in th: Tombs in New York, and I figure if the people cua wait here this long to hear me rap, I don’t feel that any fool cut there with a gun could scare me off from talking to you. So, I'm going to talk to you. "But we have to really stop and do some real deep down thinking about these punks who walk in our faces and call themselves Our mayors, call themselves our governors, and call themselves Senators and Congressmen and claim and allege to be leaders of us, whether they're black or whether they're white. I think what we have to start to do is get together like Malcolm said, behind some closed doors and start cursing each other out and coming out with some resolutions and with some concrete programs for action. And I think that at this particular important time we should realize as black people that being black is no longer sufficient. It no longer will get it. Because I think that Mitchell and Nixon and his prostitute~assed (phonetic) wife, I think that they are ready to concede black people their blackness. I think Mitchell has turned around and said toThurygood Marshall and James Farmer, you’re black, I'll concede that. Your hair isnappy (phonetic) and you wear a dashiki and you're black and I recognize that fact. So when we realize that when Nixon can get On TV and say what we need is black power, we have to re-evaluate ow position and our stand. “I think, I think what black people need most of all is to be able.to define who are their friends and who are their enemies. I don't think we should allow the color of one’s skin to get in the way of that. This is not to say our position and our stand is somehow compromised the relationship to our people. We fell that history has taught us that all oppressed people, whoever they are, will never succeed in their struggle for liberation and self-determination unless they accurately define their enemies and their friends. ~ teen; — ee er . “; . _prenes war -_eL : ~ Ae ae weg a en Sr a ere | wwe.
