More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

I maintain that i have been a negro three times--a negro baby, a negro girl and a negro woman. still, if you have received no clear cut impression of what the negro in america is like, then you are in the same place with me. there is no the negro here. our lives are so diversified, internal attitudes so varied, appearances and capabilities so different, that there is no possible classification so catholic that it will cover us all, except my people! my people!

Negro writers, just by being black, have been on the blacklist all our lives. do you know that there are libraries in our country that will not stock a book by a negro writer, not even as a gift? there are towns where negro newspapers and magazines cannot be sold except surreptitiously. there are american magazines that have never published anything by negroes. there are film studios that have never hired a negro writer. censorship for us begins at the color line.

I have lived among negroes, all my life, and i am for this government with slavery under the constitution as it is. i am for the government of my fathers with negroes. i am for it without negroes. before i would see this government destroyed i would send every negro back to africa, disintegrated and blotted out of space

His master’s pain was his pain. and it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. when the house started burning down, that type of negro would fight harder to put the master’s house out than the master himself would. but then you had another negro out in the field. the house negro was in the minority. the masses—the field negroes were the masses. they were in the majority. when the master got sick, they prayed that he’d die. if his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze.

There were always more negroes in the field than there was negroes in the house. the negro in the field caught hell. he ate leftovers. in the house they ate high up on the hog. the negro in the field didn't get nothing but what was left of the insides of the hog. they call 'em "chitt'lin'" nowadays. in those days they called them what they were: guts. that's what you were -- a gut-eater. and some of you all still gut-eaters.

I'm inclined to believe that most negro leaders, professional negroes are professional negroes. being a negro is their professional, and being a profe - a leader is their profession. and usually they say exactly what the white man wants - wants to hear them say.

I believe that since roe v. wade has been the law for 20 years we should sustain and support it.

While believing strongly, without evidence, is considered a mark of madness or stupidity in any other area of our lives, faith in god still holds immense prestige in our society. religion is the one area of our discourse where it is considered noble to pretend to be certain about things no human being could possibly be certain about. it is telling that this aura of nobility extends only to those faiths that still have many subscribers. anyone caught worshipping poseidon, even at sea, will be thought insane.

Believe in yourselves. believe in your capacity to do some good in this world. god sent us here for a purpose, and that was to improve the world in which we live. the wonderful thing is that we can do it.

I believe in "love it, or change it" rather than "love it, or leave it."
