Stokely Carmichael: Self

Quotes 

• Stokely Carmichael : I think its clear, especially clear, that the United States has declared war on black people. She said that when she took the first black man from Africa. Now, of course, she's never said those words and some people expect her to come out and say, "I declare war on black people." But, now the United States, to this day, has not declared war on Vietnam. But, they're in Vietnam. They have not declared war in North Korea. But, they fought in North Korea. And they did not declare war on the Indians either. They just wiped them out. So, we must define our condition. We are at war.

• Stokely Carmichael : He is in jail. He is a prisoner of war. We must get him by any means necessary. If we cannot get him, we must - we *must* - retaliate. Period.

• Stokely Carmichael : It is a question of an oppression force moving against a repressed people. Brother Huey P. Newton represents all black people who are taken into those prisons.
