"So, we're going to do a littie defi tion tonight.
Wi te qting te do a little defining ‘omight. We're gring to
gee that the Black Panther Party'’s position is very clear. We
Oppose potk chop nationalism, dashiki liberation. We oppose
that because a dashiki can't stop a 357 from one of these racist
stsie troopers, Afros, afros, won't keep our door closed when
the pits decided to kick it in. Only sand bags and fortification
wilik and some guns to back that up.
"So, we're saying tha the paramount issue before black
perple now is the issue of survival as a people. And if we cannot
gsuivive as a pecple, and if those people in the white mother country
cannot. relate to us surviving as a people, then we classify them
as being pigs and we classify them as racists. We have no
alternative because if they conione with their silence our murder
and our oppression, they condone what's being done to us as
black people by their silence. So, therefore, they condone the
activities ef pigs and they make the statement by their actions
that we're not human and we don't deserve freedom, we don't deserve
to protect our families and dogs out here.
“Sc fuck them, and if they come aroum our way, we’re
ging te shoot them.
"I think, I think that keeping that. in mind all those
people in the white mother country who say that what's being done
to the Black Panther Party and what’s being done to black people
in general by the Fascist regime in Washington, who say that they
cannot condene that repression of murder on hlack pecple and the
party and take active steps in the struggle against those forces —
of reaction, the struggle against these fools and idiots who
Cink in our fac.s and who will relate to picking up the gun and
doing with it, we can say right on. Because we realize the
essence of being black is not the color of one's skin. The essence
cf being black is whether we're revolutionary or not. Tha 's
the essence of being black.
“So we have came to a point in time where the situation
demands that we put forth a policy. P pwsition, and a line that
conforms with all the shit that we're up against. All the madness
that the pigs are off into and trying to lead the pe ple into.
