iiiyIIIIIIF"-ell.reminds me of a quotefrom James Baldwin. Hesays that, "To be blackand conscious in Americais to be in a constantstate of rage," and Ithink that this is verytrue of black people ingeneral in this country.Many black people, mostblack people, as I said,are uneducated and they'renot used to handlingacademic things and ad-ministrating. So theirresponse might have beensomewhat different thanmine, but they will rallybehind a political partythat's representing theirgrievances. So, all theBlack Panther Party hasdone is to articulate andbring out the grievancesof the black community.

Q: Can you recall someincident that sortof brought home toyou the attitude ofthe majority ofwhite people towardNegroes and the at-titude of the whiteestablishment?

A: You would like a speci-fic incident?

We livein a hi$e world, in whiteAmerica here and any timea white person goes tothe black community or ablack country I doubtvery seriously whether heexperiences this aliena-tion, because black peo-ple seem to have somepriority on being human-ist for some reason, Per-haps its a historical rea-son, I can't pinpoint why,but we seem to be more
