You oake my point, that as long as a white nan does it it's aii right -- a black man is supposed to have no feelings. (APPLUS8Z) But woen a black man strikes back he's in extremist; he'a wuppose2 to sit pasa i and have no feelings, be non-violent, ani love his eneny - no ARE Hind of attack, be it verbal or othervise, he's Bot sf he atand: we and if ane ear tries to defend meee need tn tne »+ Su, PSScu 0 wane deve SU 424 HS Bee Bp Ge ad way hinself, he, ha; ha, ha, then he's an extrenist. (4PPLAUSE) Wo, I think that the speaker who prece‘et me ia getting exactly what he asked for. My reason for believing in extrenisn, iatelligently directed extrenisn, extrecis: in defence of liberty, extreciac ir quest of juszice, ] ie because I firaly believe in oy hesrt thet the day that the black man takes an unconprocising step and realises that he ia within sis rights - wher, his own freedom is being jeoperdisel «- to use any Deans neesssary to bring about his freedon, will put a halt to that injustice +-- I don't think he'll be by hinself.

A society which in 1964 has more subtle, decertive, deceitful nethode tu make the rest of the world think that it's cleaning up its house, while at the sane tine the sane things ore happening to us in 1964 that happened in 1954, 1924 and in 1984 -- they cane uz with whet they ccll » Civil Rights BYl} 1+ 1964, supposedly to solve our problen, and efter the Bill was signed : three civil richts workers ware mmriered in ecld blood, And the FLBLI. : head ~ Hoover - adnite that they know who did it, they've Imomever since it happened, and they've done nothing about it, Civil Rights Bill dow —_— .—the drein, No catter how many Bille puss, black poople in thai cuuwiry, where I'no fron, still - our lives are not worth two cents, And the ecvernzent han shown its inability, or either ita unwillingmess to do whatever is necesacry to protent life and property where the black inerican eh rg
