mortuaries and drive-in ice cream parlors and drive-in
movies and drive-in schools, drive-in golf courses, and
stay out of the streets. Wo said, screw, we're going out
in the streets.
*And so weird is school, huh? Spring offensive;
Harvard, Columbia, and San Francisco State and Berkeley and
in New York in the last three weeks, ten high schools got
closed by kids who say we don’t wanna learn that crap. It
aint crap. Huh? History, that's a good course. Schools,
Columbus discovered America. That's out of sight. There
were people here. So what does that mean? How can you
discover a country where there are people living here?
Ho ho and you find out, well, discover means that a western
white power conquers a non-white, non-western power. That's
what discover meant. Oh, but the Indians didn't write the
history books, and history, like Napolean said, is a
commonly heid belief set upon, set of lies. When you're in
power, you write the history books. You give the math
courses. When I was in school, I learned to make ovals.

you how to make ovals, these little circles between these
two lines, see, and you gotta do it with your whole arm, and
you gotta keep doing this and doing this and doing this and
doing this. I got a Master's Degree in this. Ovals. So
what? Had to unlearn it. Unlearn it. When I met the
liberals, I unlearned it damn well.
" Mississippi; arrested once ina town in Mississippi
for going through a red light. They didn't have a red light
in the whole town. Threw me in a cell. See, what the other
prisoners said, he's a civil rights worker. Beat the shit
out of him, he'll let you go and give you a pint of liquor.
And he did. They beat you up outside, see, and then the
Justice Department come down, John Doe and all his flunkies;
liberals say this is terrible, what's happening to you, you
know, you'll] be lying on the ground there, yea, right, it's
terrible. They'd say call us up in Washington. Call us
