yellow man knows it. So they engage him in guerrill a warfare. That's not his style. You' ve got to have heart to be a guerrilla warrior, and he hasn't got any heart. I'm telling you now I just want to give you a little briefing on guerrilla warf are because, before you know it, before you know it. It takes heart to be a guerrilla warrior because you're on your own. In conventional warf are you have tanks and a whole lot of other people with you to back you up -planes over your head and all that kind of stuff. But a guerrilla is on his own. All you have is a rifle, some sneakers and a bowl of rice, and thats all you need and a lot of heart. The Japanese on some of those islands in the Pacific, when the american soldiers landed one Japanese sometimes could hold the whole army off. He'd just wait until the sun went down, and when the sun went down they were all equal. He would take his little blade and slip from bush to bush, and from American to American. The white soldiers couldnt cope with that. Whenever you see a white soldier that fought in the Pacific, he has the shakes, he has a nervous condition, because they scared him to death. The same thing happened to the French up in French Indochina. People who just a few years previously were rice farmers got together and ran the heavily-mechanized French army out of Indochina. You don't need it- modem warf are today won t work. This is the day of the guerrilla They did the same thing in Algeria. Algerians, who were nothing but Bedouins, took a nine and sneaked off to the hills, and de gaulle and all of his highf alutin war machinery couldnt defeat those guerrillas. Nowhere on this earth does the white man win in a guerrilla warf are. It's not his speed. Just as guerrilla warfare is prevailing in Asia and in parts of Africa and in parts of Latin America, you,ve got to be mighty naive, or you've got to play the black man cheap, if you don' t think some day he's going to wake up and find that it's got to be the ballot or the bullet would like to say, in closing, a few things conceming the Muslim Mosque, Inc, which we established recently in New York City. It's true were Muslims and our religion is Islam, but we don't mix our religion with our politics and our economics and our social and civil activities not any more We keep our religion in our mosque. After our religious services are over, then as Muslims we become involved in political action, economic action and social and civic action Ve become involved with anybody, any where, any time and in any manner that's designed to eliminate the evils, the political, economic and social evils that are afflicting the people of our community The political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community: no more. The black man in the black community has to be re-educated into the science of politics so he will know what politics is supposed to bring him in retum. Don't be throwing out any ballots. a ballot is like a bullet. You don' t throw your ballots until you see a target, and if that target is not within your reach, keep your ballot in your pocket The political philosophy of black nationalism is being taught in the Christian church. It's beir taught in the NAACP It's being taught in CORE meetings. It's being taught in SNCC Stud ent Nonviolent Coordinating Committee meetings. It's being taught in Muslim meetings. It's being taught where nothing but atheists and agnostics come together. It's being taught everywhereyellow man knows it. So they engage him in guerrilla warfare. That's not his style.
