Too bad, my dear black brothers, you left the farms


for the cities. Now you're trapped. Whitey can cut
off your food supply. Remember, baby, you're confined
to urban areas, whereas the country is in the hands
of thd whitd farmer. History teaches, only too
clearly, that in troubled times the farmer is boss.
And so, my dear black brothers, little wonder you
don't commit the strategically realistic revolutionary
acts we have suggested. It is YOU who are most dep
endant on the lines of communication and electricity.
Perhaps WHITEY should blow up the Hydro stations and
cut down the lines....the race war would become less
than regional....and before long, my dear black brothers
we'd see you running out of the darkndss, tossing
aside your weapons, begging for food....
