a sinned years that little girl became a full- grown woman, No more Toms in China. And today it’s one of the toughest, roughest, most feared : countries on this earth — by the white man. Because there are no Africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolu- tion in Latin America. How do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is? u don’t know what a revolution “a Eee 0-1 (lev, 2-14-64) olutier=nr-which the goal is a de- Tolson segregated lunch counter, a deseg- Bel regated theater, a desegregated elmont - - park, and a desegregated public Mohr toilet; you can sit down next toe -7 DeLoach white folks — on the toilet.

Once you see how they got theirs straight, then you know how you can get yours straight. iy There's been = revolution, a black revolution, going on in Af- tica. In Kenya, the Mau Mau were revolutionary: they were the ones who brought the word “Uhuru” - to the fore, The Mau Mau, they | were revolutionary, they believed in scorched earth, they knocked everything aside that got in their . way, and their revolution also was based on land, a desire for land. In Algeria, the northern part of Africa, a revolution took place, The Algerians were revolutionists, they wanted land. France offered to let them be integrated into France. They teld France, to hell with France, they wanted some land, not some France. And they ° engaged in a bloody battle. So I cite these various revolu- “tions, brothers and sisters, to show you that you don’t have a | peaceful revolution. You don’t i have a turn-the-other-cheek rev- olution, There’s no such thing as a nonviolent revolution. The only kind of revolution that is nonviol- ent is the Negro revolution. The cnoly revolution in which the goal is loving your enemy is the Ne- g*e-"erelution. It’s the .aale-ee- is hostile, revolution knows n compromise, revolution overturns: and destroys everything that gets in its way. And you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, say- ing, ‘I’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me,” No, you need a revolution. Who ever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, singing ‘We Shall Overcome’? You don’t do that in a revolution. You don’t do any singing, you're too busy swinging. It’s based on land. A revolutionary wants land so he can set up his own nation, an inde- endent nation, These’ Negroes en't asking for any nation — ey’re trying to crawl back on th lantation. When you want a nation, that’ called nationalism. When th white man became involved in a revolution in this country against England, what was it for? He wanted this land so he could set up another white nation. That's white nationalism. The French _ Revolution was white nationalism. ' The Russtan Revolution too — yes, it was — white nationalism. You don't think so? Why do you think Khrushchev and Mao can't get their heads together? White na- tionalism. All the revolutions that are going om in Asia and Africa today are based on what? — black _ nationalism, A revolutionary is a black na- tionalist. He wants e nation.
