The violence that we had in the 60's was limited. The next time it will be unlimited because the violence in the 60's was a struggle for human dignity and for human rights. The next struggle will be a struggle for survival and it will not just be limited to Black people or Black against white, but it will be the poor people, the masses of the people of the country, struggling for the right to live or the right to survive.
I have asserted the right of Negroes to meet the violence of the Ku Klux Klan by armed self-defense - and have acted on it.

He does not introduce violence into a racist social system - the violence is already there, and has always been there.
