But black people fall for that same argument, and they go around talking about law breakers. We did not make the laws in this country. We are neither morally nor legally confined to those laws. Those laws that keep them up, keep us down.

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

They cannot divide us by saying that you're middle class or you're lower class.

The poverty program was not designed to eliminate poverty.

Attack those concepts such as 'third world.' Think about it. If we look at it in terms of numbers, then people of color are the majority in this world. We should be the 'first world.'

There's no such thing as second class citizenship. That's like telling me you can be a little bit pregnant.

Class structures are a luxury that we cannot afford.
