Freedom is indivisible, and either we are working for freedom or you are working for the sake of your self-interests and I am working for mine.

We do not deride the fears of prospering white America. A nation of violence and private property has every reason to dread the violated and the deprived.

If you are free, you are not predictable and you are not controllable.

If we lived in a democratic state our language would have to hurtle, fly, curse, and sing, in all the common American names, all the undeniable and representative and participating voices of everybody here.

Language is political. That's why you and me, my Brother and Sister, that's why we supposed to choke our natural self into the weird, lying, barbarous, unreal, white speech and writing habits that the schools lay down like holy law.
