I Am Sick And Tired Of Being

I Met One Child There Eleven Years Old, Speaking Three Languages [in Guinea]. He Could Speak English, French And Malinke. Speaking My Language Actually Better Than I Could. And This Hypocrisy - They Tell Us Here In America [ That Black People Can't Be Intelligent].

That's Why I Believe In Christianity Because The Scriptures Said: "the Things That Have Been Done In The Dark Will Be Known On The House Tops."

I Always Said If I Lived To Get Grown And Had A Chance, I Was Going To Try To Get Something For My Mother And I Was Going To Do Something For The Black Man Of The South If It Would Cost My Life; I Was Determined To See That Things Were Changed.

Now Many Things Are Beginning To Come Out And It Was Truly A Reality To Me When I Went To Africa, To Guinea. The Little Things That Had Been Taught To Me About The African People, That They Were "heathens," "savages," And They Were Just Downright Stupid People. But When I Got To Guinea, We Were Greeted By The Government Of Guinea, Which Is Black People - And We Stayed At A Place That Was The Government Building, Because We Were The Guests Of The Government.

We Have To Build Our Own Power. We Have To Win Every Single Political Office We Can, Where We Have A Majority Of Black People... The Question For Black People Is Not, When Is The White Man Going To Give Us Our Rights, Or When Is He Going To Give Us Good Education For Our Children, Or When Is He Going To Give Us Jobs-if The White Man Gives You Anything-just Remember When He Gets Ready He Will Take It Right Back. We Have To Take For Ourselves.
