All of this is crippling for the oppressed Black person, for it ties their brains irrevocably' to their oppressors for salvation, often leading to the clownish pursuit of all that is defined as "good" by the standards of the oppressor.
The Black communities of the United States are the tragic results of class/ race subjugation, an oppressive situation created and exploited by the rich white capitalist class of this corrupt country, and systematically perpetuated and reinforced through their various institutions.
We view the Black working class as the basis for the success of our struggle, not because of its political consciousness (which is still very low) and not because of its class nature (more disciplined, industrious), but because of its sheer numbers and because of its economic role in the Black community.
