“Why should I come over here when some of the South Vietnamese live better than my people?… We have enough problems fighting white people back home.”

.....

"There was a lot of anger and disenchantment with what had taken place: people were dealing with drug addiction, PTSD, the military spraying Agent Orange on our troops. We needed support. We needed love."

.....

“It is well known that the black race is the most oppressed and most exploited of the human family. It is well known that the spread of capitalism and the discovery of the New World had as an immediate result the rebirth of slavery which was, for centuries, a scourge for the Negroes and a bitter disgrace for mankind. What everyone does not perhaps know, is that after sixty-five years of so-called emancipation, American Negroes still endure atrocious moral and material sufferings, of which the most cruel and horrible is the custom of lynching.” .....

"No Vietcong ever called me nigger."

.....

"U.S. Negro Armymen, you are committing the same ignominious crimes in South Vietnam that the KKK clique is perpetrating against your family at home."

“Miseducation is the root of the problems of the masses of the people. If the masses of the people were given correct knowledge from the very beginning, we would not be in the condition that we find ourselves in today.”

“It doesn’t matter if it is a Black person or a White person, anybody who refuses to talk about racism and White supremacy hates Black people. Racism is a spear in the heart of Black people. It is killing us, and we are being prevented from talking about it.”

“You might have Black people who hate white people-you may have Black people that can affect a white person…but racism not only implies that I don’t like you but that I have the power to impact you as an entire group. That’s the difference.”

“Negro is an interesting word. This country couldn’t call us Africans, because if it had, we would have understood some things about ourselves. We wouldn’t have been this “Negro America”, constantly enslaved even after slavery. It would have given us a sense of continuity. So, they had to say ‘colored’ and ‘Negro’ and ‘nigger’ to keep us in our place-to remind us that we were only from this country.”
