You Spend So Much Time

America's Greatest Crime Against The Black Man Was Not Slavery Or Lynching, But That He Was Taught To Wear A Mask Of Self-hate And Self-doubt.

There Were Always More Negroes In The Field Than There Was Negroes In The House. The Negro In The Field Caught Hell. He Ate Leftovers. In The House They Ate High Up On The Hog. The Negro In The Field Didn't Get Nothing But What Was Left Of The Insides Of The Hog. They Call 'em "chitt'lin'" Nowadays. In Those Days They Called Them What They Were: Guts. That's What You Were -- A Gut-eater. And Some Of You All Still Gut-eaters.

They Asked If I Knew What 'conscientious Objector' Meant. I Told Them That When The White Man Asked Me To Go Off Somewhere And Fight And Maybe Die To Preserve The Way The White Man Treated The Black Man In America, Then My Conscience Made Me Object.

I Believe In Human Rights For Everyone, And None Of Us Is Qualified To Judge Each Other And That None Of Us Should Therefore Have That Authority.

You Don't Have To Be A Man To Fight For Freedom. All You Have To Do Is To Be An Intelligent Human Being.
