The Negro Is Nothing But An Ex-slave

There Were Always More Negroes In The Field Than There Was Negroes In The House. The Negro In The Field Caught Hell. He Ate Leftovers. In The House They Ate High Up On The Hog. The Negro In The Field Didn't Get Nothing But What Was Left Of The Insides Of The Hog. They Call 'em "chitt'lin'" Nowadays. In Those Days They Called Them What They Were: Guts. That's What You Were -- A Gut-eater. And Some Of You All Still Gut-eaters.

The Only Possible Way Out For The White Man Is To Give Us Negroes Some Land Of Our Own; Let Us Get Out, Get Away From His Wicked Reign And Go For Ourselves.

There Can Be No Black-white Unity Until There Is First Some Black Unity.

If All The White People Who Claim They Don't Hate Us Would Ever Get Together And Do Something To The Whites Who Claim They Hate Us, We'd See Some Action. Talk Is Cheap, If White People Didn't Want To Have A South African Situation ... There'd Be None. If White People In America Didn't Want Segregation, There'd Be None ... It Is The Man Who Allows Him To Lynch Who Is Never Seen.

The Problem [ Of The Twenty-two Million Afro-americans] Is So Broad That It's Going To Take The Inner Working Of All Organizations.
