“So we have to start to realize this is very functional.
We ales whould realize on the other hand the pigs are going to
Li ck that. They'll try to murder these brothers here for
advocating that. And if we want to know, and he allows it, murder.
Th ir only strength lies with you and the community and their
erly desire is to serve you and to make that conmunity something
tht we could be proud of and something that we could say, look
mether=fucker, that (unintelligible) standing on the
ccrner here in Winston-Salem -*:i+h the police around him is
a big comfcert here in Winston-Salem and if you come here and try
te bust him, he'll kick your ass. But this is our community
and that man has done nothing to harm you. That. man has done
nm thina to harm us. So what are you talking about, he's under
arrest ? For what?
“This is what we have to start to think about that we
don't have to worry any more about the pigs whipping us all, taking
us Cut ¢: cu'r community, telling us what we're supposed to do,
and what we can't do, and hw we should do it. The on.y ones that
can tell black people how they can acquire their freedom are black
perpte.
"I know yOu can't make it. You're lucky if you can get
$50 up to? pay the God damn landlord. So, it's obvicus what position
he’s taking, sO we have to say to him you no longer represent us.
You're not black and you're not for the liberation of our people.
What you are for is the refcrming of our oppression. What you are
fer is a brand-new system of twentieth century slavery for us.
Recause any brother out here who has lived these streets, any
brether or sister here who is grown up, knows that you don't sit
dum and play cards with somebody t!7's dealing with a marked
deck, a marked deck. What the hell do you «ant to do playing a
g=me of coup with this man here who has marked the deck? Every
time you lock around you're losing. So we've got to stop asking
fer a reshuffle of the sume marked deck. We want a brand-new
deck of cards.
