I Do Not Expect The White Media

There Will Be No Prison Which Can Hold Our Movement Down.

I Had A Lot Of Time And The First Year I Was In Prison, I Tried To Get The Party To Stop The Shooting, To Stop The Talk About The Gun Thing.

Institutions Work This Way. A Son Is Murdered By The Police, And Nothing Is Done. The Institutions Send The Victim's Family On A Merry-go-round, Going From One Agency To Another, Until They Wear Out And Give Up. This Is A Very Effective Way To Beat Down Poor And Oppressed People, Who Do Not Have The Time To Prosecute Their Cases. Time Is Money To Poor People. To Go To Sacramento Means Loss Of A Day's Pay - Often A Loss Of Job. If This Is A Democracy, Obviously It Is A Bourgeois Democracy Limited To The Middle And Upper Classes. Only They Can Afford To Participate In It.

Those In The Community Who Defy Authority And 'break The Law' Seem To Enjoy The Good Life And Have Everything In The Way Of Material Possessions. On The Other Hand, People Who Work Hard And Struggle And Suffer Much Are The Victims Of Greed And Indifference, Losers. This Insane Reversal Of Values Presses Heavily On The Black Community. The Causes Originate From Outside And Are Imposed By A System That Ruthlessly Seeks Its Own Rewards, No Matter What The Cost In Wrecked Human Lives.

We Felt That The Police Needed A Label, A Label Other Than That Fear Image That They Carried In The Community. So We Used The Pig As The Rather Low-lifed Animal In Order To Identify The Police. And It Worked.
