RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK
You still have cats putting up little stands to sell
groceries, man, to make money. You still have prostitution.
You still have pimps. You still have the mafia, the simple, dirty
mother-fuckers in the mafia, who bring that shit to our community.
And here you cats is, trying to get a college diploma
stamped pig, stamped pig. Because you know, man, this system
is dependent upon you to keep this system going. They're dependent
on the technicians, scientists, doctors, lawyers, educators. Now
I'm not saying, don’t get me wrong, I'm not saying I haven't said
drop out of school, I'm not saying that. But what I am saying,
man, is don't be programmed, man. Don't just read a book, man,
just read a book for the sake of reading a book, man, don’t just
read what that simple mother-fucker in your class gives you, and
I call him a simple mother-fucker if he's a teacher that don't
teach. That'e right, if he's a teacher that don't teach, he ain't
nothing. If he's a teacher that's not teaching you your true
role in this present day society, if he's not an instructor who's
trying to teach you to be concerned about your fellow man, Jack,
and uplifting your fellow man, if he's not a teacher that's trying
to help you fight racism, see, y'all call them what, Communists?
Right, when a cat do that, when a cat speak out against the war,
when a cat speak out against racism, see, that's what y'all call
them, right? Far left or something like that, or the teacher
upstairs is kooky or something, like that because he likes niggers
or something, or he digs working class whites, see, or he thinks
Ho Chi Minh is cool, because Ho Chi Minh loves his people, or
he thinks Mao-Tse-Tung, you know, is cool because he loves his
people. He mets the needs of his people the best way he can
with the best signs that he can. Or that Che Guevara and Castro
is cool, see, y'all call him crazy. See, and what happens is he
gets fired. And the very fact that this institution tells you that
this cat is a Communist, in essence what they're telling you is
not to be concerned about yellow peonle or black people or these

people. You should be concerned about keeping America going.
