I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution
to the American black man's problems-just to avoid violence. I don't go for
non-violence if it also means a delayed solution. To me a delayed solution is
a non-solution. Or I'll say it another way. If it must take violence to get the
black man his human rights in this country, I'm for...violence. I tell sincere
white people, 'Work in conjunction with us each of us working among our
own kind.' Let sincere white individuals find all other white people they can
who feel as they do and let them form their own all-white groups, to work
trying to convert other white people who are thinking and acting so racist.
Let sincere whites go and teach non-violence to white people.
