I Think In Black Communities

I Think We Have To Really Focus On The Issues Much More Than We May Have In The Past. I Think We Have To Seek To Create Coalitional Strategies That Go Beyond Racial Lines. We Need To Bring Black Communities, Chicano Communities, Puerto Rican Communities, Asian American Communities Together.

That's True But I Think The Contemporary Problem That We Are Facing Increasing Numbers Of Black People And Other People Of Color Being Thrown Into A Status That Involves Work In Alternative Economies And Increasing Numbers Of People Who Are Incarcerated.

But At The Same Time You Can't Assume That Making A Difference 20 Years Ago Is Going To Allow You To Sort Of Live On The Laurels Of Those Victories For The Rest Of Your Life

I Guess I Would Say First Of All That We Tend To Go Back To The 60s And We Tend To See These Struggles And These Goals In A Relatively Static Way.

There Is So Much History Of This Racist Violence That Simply To Bring One Person To Justice Is Not Going To Disturb The Whole Racist Edifice.
