legal process, you know, like let's go to court. Can you dig it
black folk, you know let's go to court. You know, let's take
them to court. So we were going to court. Let's get a bi-racial
committee, see because always the problem of comminications. When
you talk about problems, the first thing the white folks say is
we just don't know how to communicate. And we're saying "That's
right,” so let's get a bi-racial committee. And we'll be
communicating and everybody wil] be talking to each other and
all that. So that's just you know, anether very basiz assumption

one that can't talk, EVERETT somebody, the old one, you know,
GALIPIANAKIS, you know, the champion of minority rights. You
know all these guys, you know, got into an investigation because
