Powerful Knowing Majority

More From Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

We got to face some facts. that the masses are poor, that the masses belong to what you call the lower class, and when i talk about the masses, i'm talking about the white masses, i'm talking about the black masses, and the brown masses, and the yellow masses, too. we've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. we say you don't fight racism with racism. we're gonna fight racism with solidarity. we say you don't fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism.

Schools teach you to imitate. if you don't imitate what the teacher wants you get a bad grade. here, in college, it was more sophisticated, of course; you were supposed to imitate the teacher in such a way as to convince the teacher you were not imitating, but taking the essence of the instruction and going ahead with it on your own. that got you a's. originality on the other hand could get you anything -- from a to f. the whole grading system cautioned against it.
