More From Bernice Johnson Reagon

We're primarily interested in solving the problem of 20 million black people. and if integration is going to solve the problem tomorrow, then let's integrate. but since the supreme court issued its desegregation decision seven years ago, and you only have about six or seven percent integration now, on an educational level, that means that the black man trying to use integration as a means of solving his problem will be another 100 years just getting integration on an educational level.
Educational Mean Men
I am not a republican, nor a democrat, nor an american, and got sense enough to know it. i am one of the 22 million black victims of the democrats, and one of the 22 million black victims of the republicans, and one of the 22 million black victims of americanism... you and i have never seen democracy; all we've seen is hypocracy... if you go to jail, so what? if you're black, you were born in jail. if you're black, you were born in jail, in the north as well as the south. stop talking about the south. long as you south of the canadian border, you're south.

Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. south-south-west, south, south-east, east.

I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
Men Thinking White Man
This is a tricky domain because, unlike simple arithmetic, to solve a calculus problem - and in particular to perform integration - you have to be smart about which integration technique should be used: integration by partial fractions, integration by parts, and so on.
Smart Simple Technique
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

But audio is a component of video, so there's always been that anyway, and although we've never expressed a visual side apart from the grateful dead movie, i don't find it that remote, you know what i mean? it's a departure of sorts, but it's like a first cousin.
