[ Negro leaders] never let the white man know exactly what black people are thinking.

America preaches integration and practices segregation.

Segregation is that which is forced upon an inferior by a superior. Separation is done voluntarily by two equals.

If you're born in America with a black skin, you're born in prison, and the masses of black people in America today are beginning to regard our plight or predicament in this society as one of a prison inmate.

Once negro community recognize it as such, they can adopt the same measures against the community that harbors the criminals who are responsible for this activity.

I think it's possible for me to approach the whole problem with a broader scope.When you look at something through an, an organizational eye, whether it's a, a religious organization, political organization, or a civic organization, if you look at it only through the eye of that organization, you see what the organization wants you to see. But you lose your ability to be objective.

Any time you see someone more successful than you are, they are doing something you aren't.
