RE: COUNTERCRi.N | “TOM WEE
Re i 5 rei ee amen mee tee
order for this cat to get +huse things, he forgets about himself,
see. And it just becemes, he s just mentally dead really, just
a robot. Teare come fucked up, you know, Wife frigid as hell.
You kncw what: I mean, you know, husband drinking every day. Can't
even go to sleep unless he drin'z, can't even go to work unless he
drinks. Won't ever go hore urless he’s drunk. You know, so
middle-class society, if anyh-7y is more fucked up, it's them.
Jugt like this le cther right here. So, like the thing
you should do about it is heiahten this kind of contradictions.
See, that's ro self, there's n> self in middle-class people, Jack.
You know, we fturd like, oppressed ycor white reople, they do
know what's wrong with ‘hat. The only problem they have is
racism, Jack. And ence they new who “he real enemy is, see,
they can change Jack. But oor. riddle - class neople will do like
hin, see. If he de-idee ft) roke a chinge, he's going to have to
snatch all his rec.s up, Jii- turning his back cn his mama, daddy,
school, church, citter, brother, aunt, uncle. But for a person
that’s poor, a white person timt's pos, it's not hard. Because
his whele family i8 i» that bo: kareund., And whenhe makes a
change he maree a chenqe for them,
Questions I just. weli first of 311, before scomebedy else
starts veliing aq ir, T want bim to say something about what
you said last night about y32uism and then I want te ask a couple
Of questions, A'l right. what I thvught you said about racism
last night, they way you guys have aqotten together, you know,
unity in the werking party, T think that's a real great thing.
And I think the way yon said jt wags real good. And I wanted to ask
a question abcut the feeding children. Well I was at the thing
last night with «1 friend cf rine wh is in the Worker Student
Alliance Conference in Boston, aml) we were talking about you feeding
those kids, and we had axel big hassle over it. Because, you
know, in "Tire" or someplace they had this big article where
they showed the Panthers feeding these kids and "Time” said well,
this is a good thing, even befcre that. And what we had an
argument cver was that he said that the thing is so publicized
that actually what it's doing is co-cpting the struggle, that it's
taking the edge off of it. And I tvld him that I thought that it
was actually helping building a mags bas" organization.
BOBBY LEE: Right, see that...
