Unitary conduct implies a search for those elements in our present situation which can become the basis for joint action, it involves a conscious reaching for the relevant, the entente, & especially, in our case the reconcilable. Throughout the centralizing authoritarian process of American history, the ruling classes have found it necessary to discourage & punish any genuine opposition to hierarchy, but there have always been individuals & groups who rejected the ideal of two unequal societies, existing one on top of the other.

We must understand their presence (white racists) as an effect of the system. It is the system that must be crushed, for it continues to manufacture new & deeper contradictions of both class & race. Once it is destroyed we may address the problems of racism at an even more basic level, but we must also combat racism while we are in the process of destroying the system.

I deny the existence of black racism outright by fiat. I deny it. Too much black blood has flowed between the chasm that separates the races. It's fundamentally unfair to expect the black man to differentiate at a glance between the various kinds of white racists. What apologists term black racism is either a healthy defense reflex on the part of the sincere black partisan who is attempting to deal with the realistic problems of survival & elevation or the racism of the government stooge goons.

There must be a collective redirection of the old guard, the factory & union agitator with the campus activist who can counter the ill effects of fascism at its training site, & the lumpen proletariat intellectuals who possess revolutionary scientific socialist attitudes to deal with the masses of street people living outside the system. They must work toward developing the unity of the pamphlet & the silenced pistol. Black, brown & white are all victims together. At the end of this massive collective struggle, we will uncover our new man, the unpredictable culmination of the revolutionary process. He will be better equipped to wage the real struggle, the permanent struggle after the revolution. The one for new relationships between men.
