That's the reality of how things are done here." " It is to my benefit to get the Negro out on the streets to stop the machine which ia keeping me from my rights. Whether they do it by marching or singing or dancing or fighting is irrelevant.” Carmichael was quoted as stating: “Being non-violent is a personal thing; I might be non-violent put X wouldn't try to push that on to the people I am trying to organize, If the people were out there, ready to fight for their rights, I certainly wouldn't say that they should all be very nice and not hurt anybody. I'd tell them to get what they deserve,” When asked would he try to prevent the civil rights movement from breaking out into widespread violence, Carmichael retorted, "Of course not, Thia nonviolence bit is just & philanthropic hang-up, I don't see why people keep thinking about that. The violence is jnevitable. I don't try to stop the fight.
