Look at the newborn baby. It struggles to breathe after living in the womb. And yet, growth comes as a result of struggle. Even when we talk about jihad. We need to attach consciousness to struggle. This struggle has to be both individual and collective.
From H. Rap Brown
We happen to be the vanguard of that revolutionary struggle because we are the most dispossessed.
Black people must address itself to the causes of poverty. That's oppression in this country.
There has to be a social commitment, a social consciousness that joins men together. On the basis of their coming together, they do not transgress against themselves and they do not transgress against others.
I say violence is necessary. It is as American as cherry pie.
Everybody in the black community must organize, and then we decide whether we will have alliance with other people or not, but not until we are organized.
The man does not beat your head because you got a Cadillac or because you got a Ford; he beats you because you're black!
Attack those concepts such as 'third world.' Think about it. If we look at it in terms of numbers, then people of color are the majority in this world. We should be the 'first world.'
The only politics in this country that's relevant to black people today is the politics of revolution... none other.
See, it's no in between: you're either free or you're a slave.
