RE: COUNTERCRIENTA, (GN Win
Question: Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
BOBBY LEE: Well ree, we can't. But see, we're always supposed
to heighten that. contracidtion, man, that this is the way to
glorify the revelutionary, yet they try to paint us all kinds
of beautiful colors. Well the peopl: say, well the system is
really not that bed. Lock ct "Time" magazine, wrote a nice
article abcut the Fanthers, a very nice article. That's just
like an article, man, that was written on me in Chicago sometime,
man, two pages long, with RORRY LEF, nice, tall, good-looking,
lanky Black Panther, you know, went to Routhern University, was
a VISTA volunteer, you know, worked at the Handicapped Center for
Retarded Children, worked at the Halfway House of Delinquent
Youths, was a track star, scunds Jike a paragon of American youth.
See what I mean? So then whit the people will say, well, you
know, then we gt out and see that the press is being used as an
instrument to destroy us, and then the pecple will say that, and
they will say the system is really nice. They're really with the
Panther? all the way. So then what we have to do is let the
pecple know whut they're doing, Look what they did to MALCOLM X.
Get an examp’< See, when MALCOLM was coming through, I mean
he was raising all kinds of hell and all kinds of bad write-ups.
As so00n as MALCOLM got killed, his books were on every shelf in
the country. Many were saying nice things about him, how
intellectual he is, man, to be a cat that went far as High
School. And what the people said, you know, the system really
liked MALCOLM. Everything MALCOLM said about the system was a
lie. They really like him. (Next few words unintelligible) ...
all tricks.
