Rap Brown interview: "People recognize and poor people recognize first, what it takes to get the man off your back, what it takes to get freedom in America. America used violence to secure freedom and they used us every time in a war to participate in violence to ensure her freedom. And we learned well from America. Violence is a part of American culture and black folks are a part of America, so if we accept any part of your culture at this point, it will be your violent nature."
