I would like to draw the following working conclusions: Marx and Engels,-perceiving the existence of an important hut ill-defined social class and angered by the treacheror role often played by that class, tended to make an ethical judgment rather than a Marni: analysis of its role in capitalist society and revolutionary struggle, This Fl M57 J he defined as follows: It does not Qngng in productive labor, and is therefore not exploited in industry, The bourgeoisie, however, does utilize it as politt, army or a3cnts,! Its principal means of support is the labor oi the productive class, and its relationship to the proletariat is therefore inherently parasitic, Its memburs have come from all classes, and they have ceased to be members of those other classes because of a combination of two conditions, one objective, the other subjective--they no longer have the same relationship to the means of production and they no longer have any loyalty to their former class, From this it follows that the lnmpenproletariat will contain more varied forms of consciousness than any other class in society, for the - previous experience of the individuals within it will be most varied and their present precarious means of existence will throw them into many different forms of contact with all at each the and otherevery classes moment; the prostitute providing the most striking example of this!, So the role of the lumpenproletariat is inherently unpredictable both strategically and
If this is true, we should be keenly aware of the unreliability of the lumpenproletariat but we must reject Engels condemnation of them as completely worthless and merely dangerous, Marx provides a key insight in a passage which forcshadors the nnE1yS1S of Mao and Fanon and relates directly to the development of the Revolutionary Youth Novcmeh At a youthful age, he says in lbs glass Qgggegles in Erangg, the lnmpenprolctariat 1,15 "Ch@I@J3h1y ll hle, as Capable of the most heroic deeds and the most exalted Ell !sacrifices as of the basest bnuditry and the foulest corruption," §e1ecrgd Egrhg, 155.! If 50, at least the youth of the lumpenproletariat shou;: be able to play [0 extremely important role in revolutionary struggle, because they are the only group combine this potentiality for heroism with an intimate daily knowledge of how to cope with the police and to engage in underground activities as a way of life, And ' lcmambct that in EPQB ii ZQ,§2 Q2351 lénin akes the mastery of these skills the primary ~ primary requircm>nt because of the Lhese professional skills are revolutionary needed to survive, and of :@the revolutionary party as a whole, . : J - " I ' H I I ,1 : 1 , 392'+ ,... --M-s~»---P--W,-s- -7----- - ------ - - -We - -- -7 _ yrs W _ A W "'7'-".. -92 U: ._ , .a.,_-.,,, ,,a_ _,,,. . , _ ~ ., ' .,.,.1 I i J. -_'~-1|-*; s -,q gun ,-uq. -.:'.:g »F _~ I U. ~ - - I "- i.~k q_ ,-:, - - Q ; _ _ ,_--P, _ _k.J| 92 -_,--,-V--.'.' 1 -92.&_r_ -a_e. r'_1- = --.-,.,.,u__-,, -_-§. -'--92. * _ ,_-_'b-,- _.. - 1I92 - -,.- 1-L I .

§ Ienin himself deals with one aspect of the lumpenprolctariat quite relevant at the _ _ present moment, their tendency to engage in spontaneous and disorganized armed struggle against the state and "expropriation" of state property, Lenin violently condemns those Bolsheviks who disassociate themselves from this by " 'oud1yand Smugly declaring 1 we are not anarchists, thieves, robbers, we are superior to all this, " "Guerilla A L- Warfare,"ggllgcted Egrkg,X1, 220! Be attacks the usual appraisal"which seesthis" il it struggle as merely "anarchism,Blanquism, the old terrorism, the acts of individuals isolated from the masses, which demoralise the workers, repel wide strata of the population, disorganisc the movement and injure the revolution," EQQEQ, XI, 216-17! Lenin draws the following keen lesson from the disorganized state of this struggle: iti is hot these Factions which disorganize the movement, but the weakness of a party which is incapable of taking such actions gage; 1&5 control_" p, 219! The Bolsheviks must . organize these spontaneous acts and "must train and prepare their organisations to be really able to act as a belligerent side which does not miss a single opportunity of inflicting damage on the enemy's forces," p, 223! '
Mao s analysis of the lumpenproletariat and of their possible role in the revolution is very clear an simple: 1 n _
Apart from all these other classes , there is the fairly large 1umngE~proletariat, made up of peasants who have lost their land and handicraftsmen who cannot get work, They lead the most precarious existence of all, ,,_ One of China's difficult problems is how to handle these people, Brave fighters but apt to be destructive, they can become arevolutionary force if given proper guidance, analysis gf ghg Qleesee is §.e.iss§..e waists! _ - Although in American society the lumpenproletariat consists of far more diverse groups . than landless peasants and unenployed handicraftsmcn, Mao'sfinal generalization would 3 - seem to be as fitting here as there, Unfortunately for us, however,Mao doesnot - give any detailed theory on working with this particular almost entirely urban class,

They are the most ready to fight, ! They therefore provide the way by which the revolutionary ' forces of the countryside enter the city, ! If they are not fighting on the side of the revolution, they will be fighting against it, Fanon gives many specific example of the counter-revolutionary role sometimes played by the lumpenproletariat_ In Hadagascar, the colonialists assisted in "the creation of a party out of the unorganizv elements of the lnm2£n:p£qleta§i§tP and then used "its distinctly provocative actions", ns "the legal excuse to maintain order, p, 93!

T» The constitution of a lggpen-proletariat is a phenomenon which obeys its own logic, N1, and neither the brirwing activity of the missionaries nor the decrees of the central government can check its growth.

The other extremely important part of Lance's snalysis has to do with the chan"ing rats; i value; and life style of the lumpenproletariat in revolutionary struggle, The conditiOn8 Of life have shaped them to fight, but the fighting itself is a new condition which trons- forms them into a new kind oi people;
So the pimps, the hooligans, the uncwployed and the petty criminals, urged on from - behind, thrau thimselves into the struggle for liberation like stout working men. These classless idlers will be militant and decisive action discover the path that lends to nationhood, They won't become ref orrcd characters to please colonial socie! fitting in with the morality of its rulers; quite the contrary, they take for grante- the irpossihility of entering the city save by hand-grenades and revolvers, These worklrss less-than~oen are rehabilitated in their own eyes end in the eyes of historf lhe prostitutes too, and the maids ..., all the hopeless dregs of humanity, all who turr in circles betoeou suicide and madness , nil 1 _ recover . their balance, once more go forward, and march proudly in the great procession of the awakened nation, 04!
I there are two extremely important points to bear in mind here, if we are to relate '1:.orrcct1y to the lumpenproleteriat, The first is that we must not tail after their ,| =. .:isting values and life styles, but must lead them_to an assertion oi their own ,, . . , .ibcrati0n throogo revolutionary struggle, The second is that they must be led by .1 . 00591098 Yev lu ivodriss with e sense of the historical condition of these people and .<_ ,r#.' t w scarce so ct their weahuesses and instability, It would be a mistake, probably a fats Q gistake, to think that the only people qualified to lead them are individuals distin- .9- ;uisheJ by being similarly unpredictable and locking in ideological consciousness, .i'-'." ~. ."|.I ' ,:,- in-'» Students and street People .

The Lumpenproletariat and the Horking Class
although the Iumpenproletariat must play a rule in revolutionary struggle, as a class . it is incapable of being the main force, Its capacity for fighting and destruction may be great, but of all classes within society it is the least capable of seizing and maintaining state power, -

v"- J lumpen--8 _ " ' h anarchism ultimately means attacking the nothing class as well as the etate,! But in this obvious historical fact lies the danger of dogmatism, which ignores living reality for historical certainty, The dogmatists, best characterized by the Progressive Labor Party and other varieties of Trotskyites, see the struggles of any group other than the proletariat as inconsequential if not downright counterrevolutionary, PL carries this so far that they assert that students and street people are not part of the people at ell, Because they assume that "when Mao or Lenin talked of the people they were referri tonlgl to workers and peasants," they arrive ct the preposterous conclusion that "the' fight for People's Park was a reactionary struggle," Ihe §attle g§ gerkeleg, PL pamphls PP. 7-9! Unlike PL, Narxisrs Lnninists understand that theory must be based on objccti reality, They conclude, therefore, that the hey revolutionary task at the present meme: is spreading the intensely political struggle of the alienated and the dispossessed to the working class as a whole, Which, mired in economism, can win its own battle only in revolution,
There is nothing automatic or certain about the relation between the present insurgenci: and the working class, On the contrary, there is an extreme danger that the contradict_ between the lumpenproletariat and the working class may become antagoni5F1¢ P3Yti¢u1"Y if the workers were to listen to PL!, workers may perceive anarchic rebellion as a threat to the marginal security they have been able to win from the ruling class, Stud. and street people occupy a housing development from which working-class pe@P1¢ ha ? ht? evicted, and then demand that this be a free People's Pad, while workers in the surroun. neighborhood cannot afford the rent they are being forced to pay, That part of the lumpcnproletariat that consists of students who have dropped out of petit bourgeois, i professional, and bourgeois families has been filled with the most virulent anti7worLin; ,. class ideas, And the lumpenproletariat is, after all, a parasitic class that lives off the labor of the working class. This all means that the task of first linking and than uniting the struggles of the lumpenproletariat and the working class is not only esseni; but extremely difficult, Among Third World people, there is a less clear demarcation between lumpenproletariot and working class than there is between street people and the white working class, Black and Brown workers arc the last hired and the first fired, so that a large per- centage knows what it is to be among the unemployed, Many Black and Brown women are on welfare or employed in part-time "domestic" i,e_ servile! positions, The Black Panther ?erty has shoun tho way to unite lumpcnproletariat with working class--by constantly developing practical programs to Serve the People in areas where the oppress} oi the lumpenproleteriat is an extreme form of the oppression suffered by Black norkin: - _ v . people. Eeginning with a base almost entirely within the lumpenproletariat and ¬3mml§i to defending the people against police brutality, the Panthers now have wide support among Black workers, and thanks to the Breakfast [or Children progr m, throughout the Black community, What has been central to this success has been the Panthers refusal to take the opportunistic course of organizing around lumpenproletariat demands per so, but rather organizing through the lumpenprolctaiiat as the most victimized members of the Black people and therefore as ones capable of raising demands for the pO0plP os & wnolo_ . Although now and again contradictions have intensixied -4 heteeen __ I .uwpcn,ro n 1 v- -.3 r1=*'__ and working class within the Third World communities, it new seems certain that rerolu" tiooary leadership, national oppression, and the intensiiying crisis of inperialiss1vi1' combine to forge revolutionary unity, '
? In the mother country, the problems are for sore difficult, Certainly the lesson of :-;- the ?anthers, Serve the People, is just as crucial here, to soy the least, The 1». prineipal organizing concept here must be the Revolutionary Youth Movement, which is _|,. made necessary and possible by cross-class youth culture, the draft and imperialist war- hinh U - unermleyrent among youth, and the pigs, ¢_ J 1 . - V . _ - -- - -7 '7_W_T__:1W _ 7, Y , '_ _.

Franklin Cflf II The first major Black rebellions since 19&3 broke out in several large cities in ' the summer of 196b, That fall, the Free Speech Movement erupted at Berkeley. Since then, it has become increasingly obvious that the Black Liberation Movement has a leading role in revolutionizing large sections of shite youth, and recently we have some to see a Revolutionary Youth Movement in the mother country dialectieally related to the struggle of the internal Black nation_ Clearly it is of crucial importance that there be for those engaged in both Strugglen a correct theoretical understanding of the relation between the two, In trying t0 arrive at this understanding, some people with both the Black and youth movements have started relying on the term "1Ump¬HpIO1kE&I1 t_"_ ' -q-bln The reasons for this are clear_ A section of white youth has dropped out Of it privileged position and consciously aszuncd a sub proletariat mode of existence. These "street people" now live a life at least superficially similar to that into whiei e large section oi Black youth has been £orced_ Black and white young street yeople own no property, rarely sell their labor in one case because they cannot, in the _ other because they will not!, hustle and drift; they despise and are despised by bourgeoisie, petit bourgeoisie, and privileged sectors of the working class alike, Their resemblance to each other has nos been driven home by the police, who have- begun to use on the white drop-outs the kind of systematic terror and brutality usually reserved for Black and Brown people and the poorest whites, i All this has led some to theorize that the principal class struggle in the United States is not that between the bOUlgGOiSiE and the proletariat but that between the ]umpCDIT01C¬afiat and all other classes, who are seen as more or less bourgeoisified_ They visualise an anarchic force, made up of the most desperate and alienated sub- groups in society, ripping the Vitals out of the Empire and dragging the rotting corpse to some fiery Armageddon, Since this idea has been advanced by some people strategically enough placed in the movement to be able to put it into practice, we must seriously analyze both its theoretical foundations and practical consequent s. To do this, we must answer two very large and difiicult questions: What precisely is the lumpenproletariat? What are its possible roles in the mncrican revolution?

Among those participating was ED LAVALLE, Duke instructor: GEORGE VLASITS; ADOLPH REED: and NICK ATKINS, a Duke instructor. There were about 75 persons attending, and in general the speeches concerned the merits of Marxism as a method for liberating the American people, especially the working classes. The speakers took turns talking and there was a lot of talk about the need to reform American society- NICK ATKIN announced at the beginning of his speech, "I am a iiar-uxist," and Fu'IICT1.|PH REEU said that "Marxism is the best way for black people to bring about the changes they want." GECRGE VLASITS discussed the role of students,whether they should work ' through the community or on campus to bring about the "reordering" of society. ED LAVALLE also said that Though we must get the working classes behind us in order to reform American society, there will still be bloodshed because the capitalists aren't going to give up their profits without a fight.

You know, it's becomeobvious in the past few months to some, and 1 5 in the past few days to others, and in the past few years to still Q .-4-. others, that black people have changed their view of what the liberation struggle is, and that black people have changed the emphasis of the liberation struggle. And so what I want to do ii 5. s is kind of look at where things started out and the erronious analysis that led to things starting out at that particular .. point and and see what sorts of things have happened to make the changes that have taken place. T The initial thrust. if you want to hegin 20, l5 years ago, the initial thrust of the black movement was toward integration. Integration without much concern about what was integrated or why 1 it was integrated. Just the initial thrust was integration. And '5 ---11-a-_ this thrust came about as a result of black people looking at the condition of black people and saying something's wrong. We don't know exactly what it is, but something's wrong and let's look around and see what's wrong. We know we are poor, we know we are uneducated, we know we can'tget jobs, we know we can'tbuy hot dogs at Kress. We know this and we know that, but why is it? r. And the answer that came out at that time was the answer that said the reason that this is true is because we're separate. We're separate. What we need to be doing is trying to integrate and become part of the system and once this happens everything is going to be all right. 1 And so all sorts of things_were tried. People got v locked up. People sat down, swam in, knelt in, did all kinds of things to try to get into the system. And the upshot of all that was that the people got into the system to a certain extent. .g , . N .. - You .~ 1*;'}. 3'8 . the 1 can can go and buy a hot dog at Kress now, and even sit down at lunch counter. You don'thave to go in the back door. You thetry on clothes at downtown stores. You don'tsit upstairs at movies any more. You even managed to get some civil rights laws _.2 ,_ _92_ -w '4 _92 , r .92_ a .u RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK But pretty soon, black people began to look around again. -'._,'_- They said, okay, we got this, we got this integration to a limited -Au_ . 'F degree. Our-kids got freedom of choice and they can go to school ...1 = ', Z wherever they want to, but something is still wrong, And a couple J; _ of kids in Alabama came up with a phrase to describe what was rj._ , _ wrong and what was needed. STOKELY CARMICHAEL and NIBLIE RICH screamed "black power" one day. And what they meant at that time was that we're involving ourselves in the system, but we still don't haveany influence over it. Because all parts of the system that we need to be influencing are controlled by white folks. - n So we need some black power. we need to organize black people to th e point where black people can go to the system --, u-'. . J. some sort of power base, present demands, and influence the with _. that the sys Lem is making. Influence white people to make a £4 decisions 4:,. . Z the . 1 kinds of decisions that are going to be appropriate for black . 1 people, And so the drive was made for black power. And there was --in--7 a time when black power, when black power even as it was definted by white folks, was totally unacceptable. And that hadn't been too - 92 -921- long ago. I imagine for some folks, I hope nobody in here, that 5 the concept of black power was really unacceptable, and when you -, .92»_.- |'. ';. w 92., -I ."~ _ said I'ma black power advocate, you know, folks started to shrink .- 92?_, .- 1| away from you.

But this was black power as defined by white folks. This was the black power that said what black people need to be doing is '." » Q- trying to get in and influence the decisions that are pads . I ;'- Q _r ' concerning their lives. Well a lot of tactics were used for that _ .

M __ _ 1 I 9 -.- 3 a . _,. E at .. '15 *1; -ti. RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK I p F :- But pretty soon it became apparent to black people that this was not the answer. That black power as we just defined it : 1; ' "i wasn't goingto work and that influencing the decisions wasn't -J .92».. _FF really the important thing. What's important, what's important 92 - ' -..Y is not influencing the decision but making the decision. And it's 5. toward making the decisions in black communities that the black movement is now moving. We hear talk of the movement now being described as a liberation struggle. And for people talking about making decisions it seems kind of weird to go into a thing of liberation. And I iEE .1I' . _»_.§_l- think what's happening now is that black yeople are recognizing that the nature of the problem merits black people defining the black comunity in terms of the black community being a colony. A colony within the white mother country which must be liberated ii: if black people are to successfully make the decisions that have to be made. Black people are recognizing that the real problems, the =1. .,- real problems that are facing black people are poverty and racism, .~ .9 and that within the context of a racis* white America the chances of black people making, making their own decisions and governing their own destinies are pretty slim. 92._. " that within the context of an "u It's also recognized ,.1 economic system that places more emphasis on profit and property .3 ¢-92 than it does on human life, then the chances of survival of poor black people or decreasing the number of poor black people in - 1 -'7 v. proportion to affluent people period, is very slim. And so the - whole emphasis of the movement is being shifted toward liberatinm often oppressed colony and toward changing economic and cultural systems to make them directly relevant to the needs of black people. This, I hope, will serve as kind of a guide for later discussion. 10 __; so ~ t I -n RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK The following speech was made by ADOLPH nssn.! well now, Brother LEE has'justdefined the problem of ;I ofblack black peo ationalism le in colonial terms, moreimportant, which I think because makesas a colonized the concept group black people do represent a distinct nation within a nation in the United States, and as a matter of fact, in the whole of Western society, but particularly here in the United States. !And~also I'dlike to say thisis not a new way of looking at this problem. I think black nationalism has been in existence or positive feelings toward black nationalism have been u ra present within the black community since the first slave ships got Y here. BENJAMIN BANACA phonetic!, for example, argued for some sort of generalized black nationalism when he conferred with THOMAS JEFFERSON. And, God I hate to say that man's name, and -wa_-0- rmRTIN DELANEY was one of the foremost black nationalists this country has ever seen. MALCOLM X, scores of others. nF And well, in terms of the liberation of black people, black nationalism creatinga sense of national unity for our black people in the United States, is of utmost importance. Because we can't begin to discuss liberating ourselves unless we are rooted s5. firmly in our own ethnic, cultural, national circumstances, which is half American at best. Probably not American at all. And the civil rights movement failed because, as JIMMY pointed out, there was not this consciousness of the black nation and of how to deal with the black nation. They are civil rights leaders to the extent that they let anybody. We're concerned primarily with being integrated into - a burning house, into a, into the prevailing economic, social, and political system in the United States during the late 50's and the early 1960's, because they somehow thought that we didn't have to conceive of ourselves as a distinct nation of people and a distinct cultural group to get ourselves over in the struggle. They didn t conceive of it as a liberation struggle: it was an integration if . -- struggle. . 41 ' pp-qu.- rr q- I..,,a§33§£:r.assss>~~.-- - - E -_r:- 1---1 - E -, ~7¬l§$>?§!girrspssssii lii ii i 3?? -;-, 92 1 _ -- - l ... , . .. :,.__ ._._,__., - 4 . . _ ,- ---- P - » - -- : _ fl -- ~ . _.; ;__..'

RE : COUNTER CR IENTATION WEEK And right now I know there are many movements or many people in the white left who are pretty much opposed to black nationalism because they view it as counter-revolutionary or 5.7 :1-1 whatever the hell else they view it as, and frankly, that just 57%.: doesn't have anything to do with the real world.

And I've nowbeen thinking about trying to get myself off of there and clear my name. 3 i- T § Let me just try to . . . it seems to me that what has happened basically here, and trying to get, of course, the more > basic and fundamental kinds of notions, is that the whole movement on the part of black people has gone from a sort of one-dimensional "9 uni-dimensional sort of thing to a more multi dimensional and a more dynamic approach. ' 5* Tn 1 I remember, for example, when I was in undergraduate school, people did not raise questions about such things as integration. You didn't raise them with black people. You didn't raise them with white liberals. You just didn't raise these kinds of questions. The whole ideology of integrationism was assumed to havu answered all of the kinds of questions of a political, . --Q1-P- -'._ i 92 l theoretical nature that bknck people should be interested in. I 4...: g_ think that what happened when STOKELY and them first raised the -If r' ~. question in a popular context of black pcuer nationalism, is that i ..1 _. 5 we saw then that there were various other kinds of questions that § H _ _ -- we did have to deal with. And the whole culture of black people, 1*a Ii the whole potency of black institutions and what have you, and .--. 5; various other kinds of questions that MALCOLM particularly raised . _,. and, of course, they are now quite common and that we have been ,_.__ talking about up here already, are the kinds of things that came up if. front-stage center. " - ..'_ But let me just try to indicate some of the kinds of di ferences that were involved here. For example, there was .-,4 this hang-up, and this thing reached its epitome in one of the 4.3, great liberal documents we've had from the civil rights movement. Z. We've hadtwo great liberal documents. One of these was the .. Moneyham phonetic! report on the black family. Well, that gentleman played the dozen with us, and I don't play the dozen with ;,I white folks, so I'll just let him go. The other great one was e 92 that report of the Kernersbindsey Commission as they say. And the whole principle reached its epitome, I think, in the Kerner 6 Lindsey report where, when we look at the thing in ue terms of -I --< 13 4 Ar 1 . . 1;! RE: COUNTEROR I92~.NTA ...1 QN WEEK its so called finding, we kind of conclude here that the great principle in this country has, in fact, been racism. It is suggested to us that we should deal with some attitude of sex on the part of white people which is somehow or another related s to our own kind of principle. And, 0'course, that was a crucial integrationist notion. lhe principle was that white folks just didn't understand and they had this hang-up. They thought we descended from the monkeys and I kind of hope that we were. And n_92 - that sort of thing, and we should, therefore, work to change our .57 kinds of institutions, to improve then: own attitudes, to civilise white folks as STOKLQY 'XRMICHAEL putit three or four years ago. There was, therefore, this interest in white attitudes which you see directed our attention away from the attitudes of black people, the opinions of black people, and what have you. What really mattered was white folk. .i-| This meant, ca course, on the other hand, a sort of de emphasis on black attitudes as I've just said and a generalized de emphasis, as ADOLPH was saying, on black institutions period and what they could do. Black institutions, black organizations §-'92' were assumed to be way stations. These way stations were temporarily there until white America was sufficiently civilized, ..- in which case they would fade away as the case may be, wither away .':- 3 to make this thing look more proper here, wither away.

HOWARD CRUSE phonetic! listed a crucial point. He said -'21 letfs assume I'm going to integrate. Name the group that okay, to integrate with. would it be the wops, would it be the would it be the Jews, the American Indians? Which is the I'mgoing group with whom I'msupposed to integrate?

The point then is to r. identify those people who took back all these power positions and to remove their feet from our backs, as the case may be. 14 :1 - R R / r 92 RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK . Okay, a second kind of thing had to do, and this, of * 2». course, is directly related to the whole integration ideology and which is definitely undergoing changes now, is the fact that -- g ;-" we simply did not have a critical perspective on the American _ ,_;..E1 system. We had no way of really coming, finding ht» we could criticize the system. The best thing we could see is that that man, that white man, is a racist. And there are some Negro people *1 who are not qualified, but when it came down to grappling with basic _J problems about the way that the structure, the political and social structure, in this country operates, we simply did not have the kind of critical positions that are absolutely necessary for groups ho pretend to be standing for basic and fundamental change, or i what we now call liberation. . ,3. .: -1- We had no critical perspective, and that had a lot of implications. HOWARDCRUSE Phonetic! has pointed out a lot of them, l think, quite cogently. For one thing it leads to a sort of simple conformism by which black people or whatever other group is Le involved, we know this has happened historically with black people, make an effort to in very minute detail conform to what it is that is expected of them from, or by, chief group itself, as they say I. the dominant group. NATHAN HRIR phonetic! tells a little thing about a cocktail party he was at one time in Washington, D. C. And this cocktail party was populated by civil rights Negroes. .-~ 7 And what had happened is that they had forgotten that there were . :1_ no white folks there, but they were pretending that white folks _ - '. .__.."*3 were there anyway, so they had Beethoven on the box and champagne - #1. .7 .l_ in their hands, being careful to hold out the smaller finger. . gf. So NATHQN HHIR, who you probably know NATHRN HAIR, from what I .= 1 , . __ P can understand, he has his difficulties thank goodness. So what Q_ he did was to go over to the box and slip RAY CHARLES on there 'i , somewhere down the line. ji 5 -1- 4 And after two or three records fell, everybody was standing there in those long tails with that little finger, sipping that champagne, thinking about their Thunderbird, I 92. just might point out. And RAY CHARLES fell. And it was back in those days when RAY had that tune I called "What I Say."

And they lost their whole cool and went into their thing, Without ever recognizing what had happened here. And you know what you had here were all different people 0 repressing their own sort of thing all unable to raise, and in this context musically of course, but that s you know, an example. But I'm able to raise on the basis of thatsnrt of bland conformism, any kind of crucial or critical points about the kind of society R 2 in which they live. a - .

And I said that a few minutes ago and JIM quite correctly corrected me. He said during those days we didn't have no commitment to other oppressed people anywhere. And I think it is a warranting point .'-P and the kind of thing we have to consider. STOKLEY CARMICHAEL Q summed the thing up some time ago and it's a quite popular slogan I now like many others, but by the holy notion that the enemy of * I my enemy is my friend. And, but the feeling that somehow or i w another we represented a sort of America first, and that you know, $ K wefhad a certain culture, culture, gemini, that made you superior to American Indians or ?ietnamese people and what have you. It's - 1I - '-. really a bunch of crap. I would argue, for example, that the problems that are faced by the black underclass in this country, by the street people in Hanoi, or the National Liberation Front, and by many, many, way too many poor people throughout this entire world, eminates, as SEAWRIGHT MEARS phonetic! once pointed out, from the same places
