: é C < Re fT OSK PANTHER PARTY ee -~ 1. le py nee hay ea "So, we're going to do a littie defi tion tonight. Wi te qting te do a little defining ‘omight. We're gring to gee that the Black Panther Party'’s position is very clear. We Oppose potk chop nationalism, dashiki liberation. We oppose that because a dashiki can't stop a 357 from one of these racist stsie troopers, Afros, afros, won't keep our door closed when the pits decided to kick it in. Only sand bags and fortification wilik and some guns to back that up. "So, we're saying tha the paramount issue before black perple now is the issue of survival as a people. And if we cannot gsuivive as a pecple, and if those people in the white mother country cannot. relate to us surviving as a people, then we classify them as being pigs and we classify them as racists. We have no alternative because if they conione with their silence our murder and our oppression, they condone what's being done to us as black people by their silence. So, therefore, they condone the activities ef pigs and they make the statement by their actions that we're not human and we don't deserve freedom, we don't deserve to protect our families and dogs out here. “Sc fuck them, and if they come aroum our way, we’re ging te shoot them. "I think, I think that keeping that. in mind all those people in the white mother country who say that what's being done to the Black Panther Party and what’s being done to black people in general by the Fascist regime in Washington, who say that they cannot condene that repression of murder on hlack pecple and the party and take active steps in the struggle against those forces — of reaction, the struggle against these fools and idiots who Cink in our fac.s and who will relate to picking up the gun and doing with it, we can say right on. Because we realize the essence of being black is not the color of one's skin. The essence cf being black is whether we're revolutionary or not. Tha 's the essence of being black. “So we have came to a point in time where the situation demands that we put forth a policy. P pwsition, and a line that conforms with all the shit that we're up against. All the madness that the pigs are off into and trying to lead the pe ple into. 21 ~~ = “yom om — sot a So, ae PE a ri Le, ace I eT ae a Read ~e - Cee .
