State Representative Speaks
In an impassioned speech
before a small turnout Thurs
day, April 29. in Cathy Cashen
Hall, Reverend Hosea Williams
proclaimed. “Being black is
terribly important to me. It’s
not just the color of someone’s
skin; it’s a lifestyle.”
Williams, a state represen
tative from Atlanta, spoke
during Black Awareness Week.
He is a former member of the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC), once
headed by the late Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.
“It’s difficult to be black in
America and survive," he said,
but added that one should not
"be run off like (Eldndge)
Cleaver."
He said that black power is
needed and described it as
“owning banks, owning
manufacturing companies,
having power."
Williams said that black
America is worse off in the ’7os
than in 1962 because they have
become more interested in
money than the plight of poor
people.
“Progress without suffering
is like wanting a crop without
plowing the field," he said.
“Blacks don’t want to go to jail
anymore."
Speaking of King, W’illiams
said that blacks believed in the
man, not the issue
“Blacks are afraid to go to
jail now But them white folks is
going to fill up that jail with
niggers every weekend,
anyway," he said
He said that blacks should not
forget their past, and. quoting
from Mao Tse-tung, said, “To
forget your past is betrayal
Only to remember your past is
revolutionary
Williams spoke of his visit to
mainland China and what he
told the Chinese when he left:
“I’m going back to America.
America is my home. 1 love my
home. 1 hate some of its ways.
I’m going back to change it.”
Williams spoke on a wide
range of subjects, among them:
—Jimmy Carter and ethnic
purity. “I don’t hate Jimmy
Carter. I can support him
today—if he’ll say something.
“I hadn’t heard ethnic purity
since I left Germany (after
World War II),” he said. He
said that Carter used the phrase
“for the whites and knew he
could pat the nigger on the head
and tell him it’ll be alright and
he’d come around.”
He said that “Daddy King
(father of Martin Luther) hurt
me” when he (King) hugged
Carter at a rally in Atlanta after
Carter’s ethnic purity
statement. "It was the slave
hugging the slavemaster,” he
said.
—On southern white men.
“I’ve got more respect for the
southern white man than any
white man in the world. Lester
Maddox said, ‘Yeah, you in
vented fried chicken, but you
ain’t eating none in here.’
The Good Neighbor
is yoiLHßelong.

—On “dope’’ and styles
“Don’t stand around jiving and
messing with dope. BE A MAN!
“You don’t need no high heel
shoes and long shirt collars. I
set my own style.”
—On the Ford administration.
“Rockefeller is stealing the
world blind Ford is just a poor
puppet.”
—On how black men should
look at their women. “She was
my mother because she had me.
She was my daughter because I
fathered her. She was my wife
because I married her."
—On the election of black
politicians. “When black
politicians get elected you think
things are getting better.
They’re getting worse. The
white man owns the black
man.”
—The white man he could
accept as President. “I think 1
could go for Ralph Nader.”
—The black man he would
like to see President. Dick
Gregory, first. Himself, third.
Williams told of his once
being the only black chemist in
the southeast, and said,
“Anytime you the only black
anything, you a fool!”
He told the blacks. “If you’ve
got to hate whites to love
yourself, then you’re just hating
yourself."
