"I'm speaking as a Black man from America [00:00:00]
Which is a racist society [00:00:02]
No matter how much[00:00:05]
You hear it talk about democracy [00:00:05]
It's as racist as South Africa[00:00:07]
Or as racist as Portugal [00:00:09]
Or as racist as any other racialist society on this [00:00:10]
On this earth [00:00:14]
The only difference between it and South-Africa:[00:00:15]
South-Africa [00:00:18]
Preaches separation and practices separation [00:00:18]
America preaches integration[00:00:21]
And practices segregation [00:00:22]
This is the ONLY difference [00:00:24]
They don't practice what they PREACH [00:00:25]
For in South-Africa preaches and practices [00:00:27]
The SAME thing [00:00:29]
I have more respect for a man [00:00:30]
Who let me know where he stands [00:00:31]
Even if he's wrong [00:00:33]
Then one who comes up like an angel[00:00:34]
And is nothing but a devil "[00:00:36]
"I uhm I don't agree with him[00:00:39]
Because I don't have to follow anyone to defend myself [00:00:42]
I think that uhm there are every people uhm [00:00:44]
All people have been [00:00:47]
Frustrated in some form from another [00:00:47]
But uhm [00:00:50]
I don't agree with him I don't follow a man [00:00:51]
And I don't think anyone should follow one man [00:00:54]
I think they should follow their conscience [00:00:55]
I think the most of them most negroes [00:00:57]
That they feel sorry for themselves [00:01:00]
And I think that this keep some that uhm [00:01:02]
Much more than they would be [00:01:04]
If they didn't feel so sorry for themselves "[00:01:06]
"If Martin Luther King Roy Wilkins or any of these uuh [00:01:10]
Compromising negroes[00:01:14]
Who say exactly what the white man wants to hear [00:01:15]
Is interviewed anywhere in the country [00:01:18]
You don't get anybody to offset what they say [00:01:20]
But whenever a black man [00:01:23]
Stands up and says something that [00:01:24]
White people don't like[00:01:25]
Then the first thing that white man does [00:01:27]
Is run around and try[00:01:28]
And find somebody to say something [00:01:30]
To to uuhm offset [00:01:31]
What has just been said [00:01:33]
This is NATURAL [00:01:34]
But it is done "[00:01:35]
"You know what I think [00:01:37]
I just think I think you you [00:01:39]
You givin' up (givin' up on what )[00:01:43]
An ideal of an integrated America [00:01:48]
The dream of Martin Luther King [00:01:50]
I think you givin' up [00:01:52]
This is not I'm not tryna be a "Smarterica" [00:01:53]
I'm calling you honestly [00:01:55]
That I think you givin' up "[00:01:57]
"You know it's interesting how [00:02:00]
White folk sit here [00:02:04]
Thinking that I have a reason to lie to you [00:02:07]
As though you are so powerful [00:02:12]
And you are so wonderful [00:02:15]
And I am so ashamed of my words [00:02:17]
That I have to twist and turn please [00:02:20]
You are not dealing with that kind of man [00:02:22]
You're dealing with a man [00:02:25]
Who means what he says [00:02:26]
And says what he means "[00:02:28]
