Black people are fed up with the dillydallying pussyfooting comp romising approach that we've been using toward getting our freedom. We want freedom now, but we' re not going to get it saying"We Shall Overcome. "Weve got to fight until we overcome The economic philosophy of black nationalism is pure and simple. It only means that we should control the economy of our community. Why should white people be running all the stores in our community Why should white people be running the banks of our community? Why should the economy of our community be in the hands of the white man? Why If a black man can't move his store into a white community, you tell me why a white man should move his store into a black community. The philosophy of black nationalism involves a re-education program in the black community in regards to economics. Our people have to be made to see that any time you take your dollar out of your community and spend it in a community where you don't live, the community where you live will get poorer and poorer, and the community where you spend your money will get richer and richer Then you wonder why where you live is always a ghetto or a slum area. And where you and I are concemed, not only do we lose it when we spend it out of the community, but the white man has got all our stores in the community tied up; so that though we spend it in the community, at sundown the man who runs the store takes it over across town somewhere He's got us in a vise. So the economic philosophy of black nationalism means in every church, in every civic organization, in every fratemal order, it's time now for our people to be come conscious of the importance of controlling the economy of our community. If we own the stores, if we operate the businesses, if we try and establish some industry in our own community, then we're developing to the position where we are creating employment for our own kind. Once you gain control of the economy of your own community, then you don' t have to picket and boycott and beg some cracker downtown for a job in his business The social philosophy of black nationalism only means that we have to ether and remove the evils, the vices, alcoholism, drug addiction, and other evils that are destroying the moral fiber of our community. We our selves have to lift the level of our community, the satisfied in our own social circles and won t be running around here trying to knock our way o standard of our community to a higher level, make our own society beautiful so that we will be into a social circle where we're not wanted. So I say, in spreading a gospel such as black nationalism, it is not designed to make the black man re-evaluate the white man -you know him already -but to make the black man re-evaluate himself. Don' t change the white mans mind - you can't change his mind, and that whole thing about appealing to the moral conscience of America- America's conscience is bankrupt. She lost all conscience a long time ago. Uncle Sam has no conscience The know what morals are. They dont try and eliminate an evil because it's evil, or s illegal, or because it's immoral; they eliminate it only when it threatens their existence. So you're wasting your time appealing to the moral conscience of a bankrupt man like Uncle Sam. If he had a conscience, he'd straighten this thing out with no more pressureBlack people are fed up with the dillydallying, pussyfooting, comp romising approach that we've been using toward getting our freedom.
