“First of all, MLK was a great man, and Iu0026#39;m proud of what he did for black people. I said _black_ people…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe people in this documentary, in particular, Van Jones, care nothing about the plight of black people, in particular, about helping black people attain power and respect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThereu0026#39;s nothing in this film that seeks to empower black people so that they can determine their own futures. Itu0026#39;s a film about how to be a boot licker. Just look at Van Jonesu0026#39; resume for an example. To the people in this documentary, black people donu0026#39;t live under oppression anymore. If they thought so, theyu0026#39;d try and empower black people, instead of telling them to be non-violent against the American status-quo.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJust look at their dreamy-eyed demeanor. Look at that blink and youu0026#39;ll miss it criticism of Malcolm X. Look at their _age_.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMany of these so-called black leaders are dying, and the new, younger black voices are on the rise, and our futures wonu0026#39;t be determined by these failures and has-beens. The white establishment sees this, and this is the beginning of many attempts to prevent us from claiming what is rightfully ours.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe African gods will not forgive these men for what theyu0026#39;ve done. Black power, no surrender!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUSMA, c/o 2002”
