When you take your case to Washington, D.C., you're taking it to the criminal who's responsible; it,'s like running from the wolf to the fox. They,'re all in cahoots together. They all work political chicanery and make you look like a chump before the eyes of the world. Here you are walking around in America, getting ready to be draf ted and sent abroad, like a tin soldier, and when you get over there, people ask you what are you fighting for, and you have to stick your tongue in your cheek. No, take Uncle Sam to court, take him before the world By ballot I only mean freedom. Don' t you know-I disagree with Lomax on this issue - that the ballot is more important than the dollar? Can I prove it? Yes. Look in the UN. There are poor nations in the UN; yet those poor nations can get together with their voting power and keep the rich nations from making a move. They have one nation-one vote, everyone has an equal vote. and when those brothers from asia and africa and the darker parts of this earth get together, their voting power is sufficient to hold Sam in check Or Russia in check. Or some other section of the earth in check. So, the ballot is most important Right now, in this country, if you and 1, 22 million Afnican-Americans-that's what we are Africans who are in America. You're nothing but Africans. Nothing but Africans. In fact, you'd get farther calling yourself African instead of Negro. Africans dont catch hell. You're the only one catching hell. They dont have to pass civil-rights bills for Africans. An African can go anywhere he wants right now. All you've got to do is tie your head up. That's right, go anywhere you want. Just stop being a Negro. Change your name to Hoogagagooba That'll show you how silly the white man is. You're dealing with a silly man. A friend of mine who's very dark put a turban on his head and went into a restaurant in Atlanta before they called themselves desegregated. He went into a white restaurant, he sat down, they served him, and he said, " What would happen if a Negro came in here? And there he's sitting black as night, but because he had his head wrapped up the waitress looked back at him and says, " Why there wouldnt no nigger dare come in here. So, you're dealing with a man whose bias and prejudice are making him lose his mind, his intelligence, every day. He's frightened. He looks around and sees what's taking place on this earth, and he sees that the pendulum of time is swing ing in your direction. The dark people are waking up. They're losing their fear of the white man. No place where he's fighting right now is he winning. Everywhere he's fighting, he's fighting someone your and my complexion And theyre beating him. He can't win any more. He's won his last battle. He failed to win the Korean War. He couldnt win it. He had to sign a truce. That's a loss Any time Uncle Sam, with all his machinery for warfare, is held to a draw by some rice eaters, he's lost the battle. He had to sign a truce. America's not supposed to sign a truce. She's supposed to be bad. But she' s not bad any more. She's bad as long as she can use her hydrogen bomb, but she can't use hers for fear Russia might use hers. Russia cant use hers for fear that Sam might use his. So, both of them are weapon-ess. They cant use the weapon because each's weapon nullifies the others. So the only place where action can take place is on the ground And the white man can't win another war fighting on the ground. Those days are over the black man knows it. the brown man knows it. the red man knows it. and theWhen you take your case to Washington, D.C., you're taking it to the criminal who's responsible; it's like running from the wolf to the fox.
