[news] Class Exploitation Versus Racial Colonization

[Resist!ca]

Today, I was listening to a recording of a "Free Huey Newton" Rally, held in Oakland, Ca. in 1968. Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown gave moving revolutionary speeches, full of social commentary and relevant insight, still right on the mark today. Many of the comments made in this nearly 40 year old speech, sound as if they came from today's headlines: "...our political situation must become international; it cannot be national...It must be international because if we knew anything, we would recognize that the honkys just don't exploit us, they exploit the whole Third World: Asia, Africa, Latin America. They take advantage of Europe, but they don't colonize Europe, they colonize Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Understand that!
