who have been posing as our friends have failed us.

And once we see that all these other sources to which we've turned

have failed, we stop turning to them and turn to ourselves.

We need a self-help program. I do it yourself philosophy. I do it right now philosophy.

It's already too late philosophy. This is what you and I need to get with. And the only

time, the only way we're going to solve our problem is with a self-help program. Before we can get a self-help program

started, we have to have a self-help philosophy.

Blank nationalism is a self-help philosophy.

What's so good about it, you can stay right in the church where you are

and still take black nationalism as your philosophy.

You can stand any kind of civic organization that you belong to and still take black nationalism

as your philosophy. You can be an atheist and still take black nationalism as your philosophy.

This is a philosophy that eliminates the necessity for division in argument.

Because if you're black, you should be thinking black.

And if you're black and you're not thinking black at this late date, why I'm sorry for you. Once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern.

Once you change your thought pattern,

once you change your thought pattern, you change your attitude. Once you change your attitude, it

changes your behavior pattern. And then you go on into some action. As long as you got

a sit-down philosophy, you'll have a sit-down thought panel.

And as long as you think that old sit-down thought, you'll be in some kind of sit-down action.

They'll have you sitting in everywhere.

It's not so good to refer to what you're going to do as a sit-in.
