On the very same day that the shooting incident invol- ving Huey occurred, a 70 year old black man in Palo Alto had- his head blown off by a cop, from behind, and he was unarmed . Yet there has been no outcry about that . There has har3ly been a peep about it . Was this 70 year old black man's life sacred?

The racist dog Oakland cops say that this dead cop is the first one who has been killed "in the line of duty" in twenty years . Yet that same Oakland police force has shot and killed scores of black men and women in that same period . What about them? Don't trey count? Who is keeping the sta- tistics about them? And what are we supposed to do about that? Are we supposed to just sit back calmly and add another digit to the statistics everytime another black person is killed by an Oakland cop? We know -that that_is what they want us to do -- but we are here to say that those days are gone : Does everybody understand that? THOSE DAY ARE GONE : THE DAY WHEN A COP CAN SHOOT A BLACK MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILD DOWN IN COLD BLOOD AND HAVE IT RULED JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE IS GONE FOREVER . FROM NOW ON WE SAY : ONE MAN, ONE LIFE :

Undoubtedly, the Oakland cops would be tickled pink if instead of having a dead cop and a live Huey on their hands, they had a dead Huey and a live cop . Black people all over America and around the world, and some white people in Ameri- ca and around the world, are glad for once to have a dead cop and a live Huey . But we go further and say that we want Huey to stay alive -- we go even further and say that we want Huey set free .

Brute military power is the Last re- pressive resort of an oppressor whose WHITE totalitarian apparatus is threatened or ceases to function smoothly . First he will use all manner of tricks and bribes to distort the nature of his power or to `MOTHER buy off potential opponents of his op- pression . We can see this clearly if we examine American foreign policy .

TRAITORS

In the fight to reach the top the oppressed have always been encumbered by the traitors of their own race, made up of those of little faith and those who are generally susceptible to bribery for the selling-out of the rights of their own people .

The traitor of other races is generally confined to the mediocre or irresponsible in- dividuals, but, unfortunately, the traitors among the Negro race are generally to be found among the men highest placed in education and society, the fellows who call themselves leaders .

For us to examine ourselves thoroughly as a people we will find that we have more traitors than leaders, because nearly everyone who essays to lead the race at this time does so by first establishing himself as the pet of some philanthropist of another race, to whom he will go and debase his race in the worst form, humiliate his own manhood, and thereby win the sympathy of the "great benefactor", who will dictate to him what he should do in the leadership of the Negro race . It is generally, "You must go out and teach your people to be meek and humble ; tell them to be good servants, loyal and obedient to their masters . If you will teach them such a doc- trine you can always depend on me to give you $1,000 a year or $5,000 a year for the sup- port of yourself, the newspaper or institution you represent . I will always recommend you to my friends as a good fellow who is all right ." With this advice and prospect of patro- nage the average Negro leader goes out to lead the unfortu- nate mass . These leaders tell us how good Mr . So and So is, how many good friends we have in the opposite race, and that if we leave everything to them all will work out well .

This is the kind of leader- ship we have been having for the last fifty years . It is nothing else but treachery and treason of the worst kind . The man who will compromise the attitude of his country is a traitor, and even so the man who will compromise the rights of his race can be classified in no other way than a traitor also .

Not until we settle down as four hundred million people and let the men who have placed themselves in the lead of us realize that we are disgusted and dissatisfied, and that we shall have a leadership of our own and stick by it when we get it, we will be able to lift our- selves from this mire of degre- dation to the heights of pro- perity, human liberty, and hu- man appreciation .
