What a liberal really wants is to bring about change that will not in any way endanger his position.

So that the failures to pass a civil rights bill isn't because of Black Power, isn't because of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; it's not because of the rebellions that are occurring in the major cities.

An organization which claims to be working for the needs of a community - as SNCC does - must work to provide that community with a position of strength from which to make its voice heard. This is the significance of black power beyond the slogan

Now, then, in order to understand white supremacy we must dismiss the fallacious notion that white people can give anybody their freedom.

Dr. King's policy was, if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.

Seems to me that the institutions that function in this country are clearly racist, and that they're built upon racism.

There has been only a civil rights movement, whose tone of voice was adapted to an audience of liberal whites.
