H. Rap Brown Country Quotations

So black people all across this country are uniting. They must unite, and they must organize themselves.

Black people must address itself to the causes of poverty. That's oppression in this country.

This is a very unforgiving country when you show this country its warts, when you hold the mirror up. If you happen not to share their beliefs, they'll kill you.

But black people fall for that same argument, and they go around talking about law breakers. We did not make the laws in this country. We are neither morally nor legally confined to those laws. Those laws that keep them up, keep us down.

In terms of the revolution, I believe that the revolution will be a revolution of dispossessed people in this country: that's the Mexican American, the Puerto Rican American, the American Indian, and black people.

The only politics in this country that's relevant to black people today is the politics of revolution... none other.
