In the whole history of the United States the impact of racism has been to attempt to contain black people, has been to attempt to stifle the desires towards liberation. One of the ways in which this is accomplished is by trying to convince black people that they are completely powerless before this huge apparatus and that the police can just come into the community and pick someone out, kill them—as they have done on many, many occasions in the past—charge them with something they didn’t do, railroad them to prison, send them to the gas chamber. This is just one of the many ways that the system—and it’s not a contrived effort in the sense that it’s done consciously by a few men up at the top, it’s built into the system, it’s built into the nature of the society. And getting back to the question of what a revolutionary is, a black revolutionary realizes that we cannot begin to combat racism, we cannot begin to effectively destroy racism until we’ve destroyed the whole system.
