It was so close they had to count all over again. Well, what does this mean? It means that when white people are evenly divided and black people have a bloc of votes of their own, it is left up to them to determine who' s going to sit in the white House and who' s going to be in the dog house It was the black mans vote that put the present administration in Washington, D.C. Your vote. your dumb vote, your ignorant vote, your wasted vote put in an administration in Washington, D.C., that has seen fit to pass every kind of legislation imaginable, s aving you until last, then filibustering on top of that. And your and my leaders have the aud acity to run around clapping their hands and talk about how much progress we're making. And what a good president we have. If he wasnt good in Texas, he sure can't be good in Washington, D. C. Because Texas is a lynch state. It is in the same breath as Mississippi, no different; only they lynch you in Texas with a Texas accent and lynch you in Mississippi with a Mississippi accent. And these Negro leaders have the aud acity to go and have some coffee in the White House with a Texan, a Southen cracker- that's all he is- and then come out and tell you and me that he s going to be better for us because. since he's from the south he knows how to deal with the Southemers. What kind of logic is that Let Eastland be president, he's from the South too. He should be better able to deal with them than Johnson In this present ad ministration they have in the House of Representatives 257 Democrats only 177 Republicans. They control two-thirds of the House vote. Why cant they pass something that will help you and me? In the Senate, there are 67 senators who are of the Democratic Party. Only 33 of them are Republicans. Why, the Democrats have got the government sewed up, and you're the one who sewed it up for them. And what have they given you for it? Four years in off ice, and just now getting around to some civil-rights legislation Just now, after everything else is gone, out of the way, they 're going to sit down now and play with you all summer long -the same old giant con game that they call filibuster. All those are in cahoots together. Don't you ever think they're not in cahoots together, for the man that is heading the civil-rights filibuster is a man from Georgia named Richard Russell. When Johnson became president, the first man he asked for when he got back to Washington, D.C was"Dicky"-that's how tight they are. That's his boy, that's his pal, that 's his buddy. But they're playing that old con game. One of them makes believe he's for you, and he's got it fixed where the other one is so tight against you, he never has to keep his promise So it's time in 1964 to wake up. And when you see them coming up with that kind of conspiracy. let them know your eyes are open. And let them know you- something else that 's wide open too. It 's got to be the ballot or the bullet. The ballot or the bullet. If you re af raid to use an expression like that, you should get on out of the country you should get back in the cotto n patch; you should get back in the alley. They get all the Negro vote, and after they get it, the Negro gets nothing in return. All they did when they got to Washington was give a few big Negroes big jobs. Those big Negroes didn't need big jobs, they already had jobs. That's camouflage, that s trickery, that's treachery, window-dressing. I'm not trying to knock out the Democrats for the Republicans. We'll get to them in a minute. But it is true; you put the Democrats first and the Democrats put you lastIt was so close they had to count all over again. Well, what does this mean?
