Let me explain what I mean. A segregated district or community is a
community in which people live, but outsiders control the politics and
the economy of that community. They never refer to the white section as
a segregated community. It's the all-Negro section that's a segregated
community. Why? The white man controls his own school, his own bank, his
own economy, his own politics, his own everything, his own community;
but he also controls yours. When you're under someone else's control,
you're segregated. They'll always give you the lowest or the worst that
there is to offer, but it doesn't mean you're segregated just because
you have your own. You've got to control your own. Just like the white
man has control of his, you need to control yours.

You know the best way to get rid of segregation? The white man is more
afraid of separation than he is of integration. Segregation means that
he puts you away from him, but not far enough for you to be out of his
jurisdiction; separation means you're gone. And the white man will
integrate faster than he'll let you separate. So we will work with you
against the segregated school system because it's criminal, because it
is absolutely destructive, in every way imaginable, to the minds of the
children who have to be exposed to that type of crippling education.


Last but not least, I must say this concerning the great controversy
over rifles and shotguns. The only thing that I've ever said is that in
areas where the government has proven itself either unwilling or unable
to defend the lives and the property of Negroes, it's time for Negroes
to defend themselves. Article number two of the constitutional
amendments provides you and me the right to own a rifle or a shotg
