Negro. This so-called democracy has
failed the Negro. And all these white liberals have definitely failed
the Negro.

So, where do we go from here? First, we need some friends. We need some
new allies. The entire civil-rights struggle needs a new interpretation,
a broader interpretation. We need to look at this civil-rights thing
from another angle -- from the inside as well as from the outside. To
those of us whose philosophy is black nationalism, the only way you can
get involved in the civil-rights struggle is give it a new
interpretation. That old interpretation excluded us. It kept us out. So,
we're giving a new interpretation to the civil-rights struggle, an
interpretation that will enable us to come into it, take part in it. And
these handkerchief-heads who have been dillydallying and *** footing
and compromising -- we don't intend to let them pussyfoot and dillydally
and compromise any longer.

How can you thank a man for giving you what's already yours? How then
can you thank him for giving you only part of what's already yours? You

way he pointed out we're right back where we were in 1954. We're not

animosity, more racial hatred, more racial violence today in 2005, than
there was in 1954. Where is the progress?

And now you're facing a situation where the young Negro's coming up.
They don't want to hear that "turn the-other-cheek" stuff, no. In
Jacksonville, those were teenagers, they were throwing Molotov
cocktails. Negroes have never done that b
