RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK

So that control of schools becomes important. The
control of housing authorities becomes important. The control
of the system-of justice in the black community becomes important.
I'm getting tired of black people like a cat wants to fight his wife
and they fight. Ard white folks come and holler, y'all can't do
that and we got to be down there and let white folks decide for us
our whole system of justice in the black community.
So that I think that we have to seek our power to control
our system of justice, ovr economics, so that we can, so that we
can definitely change number one, the philosophy of these organi-~
zations; number two the priorities of these organizations; number
three the methodology of these organizations. And without power
to control you can never change the basic philosophical thing upon
which these things seperate.
So that, it is very clear today and we're going to be short

people got to have a black agenda. And the black agenda got to
be made up by black people, got to be for black people, with black
people, and of black people, and has ,0t to be done now. And it is
clear today that we can no lenger continue to be gocd niggers.
We can't keep on being good niggers, good tar heel niggers, good
any kind of niggers. That is if we are going to assume control
of our lives, then we got to quit making up grievance lists and
issue manifestos. Got to quit talking about white folks, "Will you
give us please," "Would y‘all find it in your hearts to do this for
us," and what we're going to have to say is we're getting ready to
do this, y ‘all, like they said down in Sanford that we're going
ahead and do this. We ain't like asking y‘all can we do this.
We're getting ready to do this.
Now you see that's the way to move because when you get
ready to do it, then you gotto do it, and when you get ready to do
it and do it, then you got to deal with what's going to happen when.
you do it. And that's what we got to be about. We can't be hung
up on "should we go this way," or “should we go that way," “should
we carry this,” "should we carry that," "should we hip this and
hip that.” We just got to decide that this is whit w: want and
