Everybody in the black community must organize, and then we decide whether we will have alliance with other people or not, but not until we are organized.

Black people must address itself to the causes of poverty. That's oppression in this country.

The only politics in this country that's relevant to black people today is the politics of revolution... none other.

In terms of the revolution, I believe that the revolution will be a revolution of dispossessed people in this country: that's the Mexican American, the Puerto Rican American, the American Indian, and black people.

We should not have drug laws or a court system that disproportionately punishes the black community.

One of the prices that we pay for integration was the disintegration of the black community.
