RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK
words of caution from Negroes, several very fine, upstanding
LZ REE. BEATER ey
Negroes, have been telling me, "Now you can't, now you just
can't, like we‘can't do it like that.” And they tell us
a they're in there somewhere, white folks who say “I was with
a you until,” and "I would be with you so long as,” and “I am
2 oR
with you but. . ." So you know we got those kind of white folks.

All cf this has happened in the past three or four
years just asking for some simple things like a decent house, you
know, like food. You know, irr levant things, food, clothing,
shelter, stuff like that.
All right so, this has been what we've done in the
past. Now what about the future? In my Opinion, in my opinion,
black people must begin to change our direction. That no longer is
it really, does it really make any sense to seek inclusion into a
system that by its very nature is going to oppress people. No
longe: dves it mak2 sense, no longer does it make sense to ask
for participation in the decision making. The only thing that
makes sense is for black peop’ e to seek ultimate and absolute
control over our own lives and the intermediary step to achieve
absolute control is the movement for control of organizations,
institutions, agencies, land and everything else that exists in
the black community and is supposed to be for black people.
Specifically, we must move to control schools. Now I
think old Sper, Spir:, whatever he's being called these days,
that the beauty of that cat is his stupidity. And so that when
he gets, but you see he's honest. A stupid du: is basically an
honest dude. And see, so when he gets up and starts talking man,
he's telling y'all how he really feels. See, NIXON is too slick
for that. See, they haven't had enough speech classes for Spiro
yet. So that you know, when he gets up and runs his thing, he's
running his real thing. And what he said was, “We forght integration
but we ain't for making it happen." Now, you know, that was a very
good statement. But like I agree with him because I ain't for it
happening either. Becaise I think that’s moving in the wrong
direction and I think the problem is can you control your educational
process.
