Letter to a Comrade was written on March 28, 1971,  It reads " My sister has informed me of your release and the political education classes you have formed.  From her words and your messages, I sense that we are still together.  We've gone through approximately the same changes since they separated us--the confused fight to national revolutionary Africa, through the riot stage of revolutionary Black America.  We have finally arrived at scientific revolutionary socialism with the rest of the colonial world.  I was hoping that  you wouldn't get trapped in the riot stage like a great many other very sincere brothers.  I have to browbeat them every day down here.  They think being a warrior is quite enough. And yet, without discipline or direction, they'll end up washing cars, or unclaimed bodies in the city -state's morgue.  But I was almost certain that wouldn' be your destination, brother.  

Though I no longer adhear to all of Nichayev's revolutionary catechism (too cold, very much like the fascist psychology;  revolution should be love-inspired), his first line contains the icontroversertible truth, the black revolution is twice doomed." 

At times I wonder about the present state of revolutionary Black Consciousness.It's really annoying to hear blacks express right wing traditionalist political ideas."  GEORGE JACKSON, BLOOD IN MY EYE,pp3-4. Revolution in the Black community must be of an African concept, not a Eurasian conseptulized mimic of the Black Power of Africas liberation movements! The concept of Umbuth "I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE," MUST BE A REALITY AND THE RALLYING CRY OF OUR PEOPLE AGAINST THE OPPRESSION WE NOW EXPERIENCING, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!  EITHER WE STOP KILLING EACH OTHER OR OUR DOOM IS CERTAIN!  BLACK ON BLACK CRIME MUST END NOW!
