Linear Thought  

"We Black people do not see the war being waged against us because we don't want to and because we are afraid. We are engaged in behavior designed specifically to block out any awareness of the war - [the] true reality. Our behavior thus forces us into the insanity of hoping and begging - as opposed to the sanity of analysis; specific behavioral pattern design and specific conduct in all areas of people activity: economics, education, entertainment, labor, politics, religion, sex and war."
"Our Black collective today has no greater understanding of this war and the phenomenon of justifiable homicide than it did when Black males were being lynched and castrated daily, 100 years ago in the period of "Reconstruction," or reestablishment  of white supremacy following the Civil War.
