Statement
by Political Prisoner, David Gilbert
For
white people, racism has meant a range of material benefits . . . at
the price of our very souls and, for most of us, at the cost of cementing
the heartless rule of capital over us. As we build for the September
13th March on the United Nations, it is especially important for
us to keep in mind that it was New Afrikans' unpaid/underpaid labor
and genius that built America.
Also, their liberation
struggle awakened a sense of hope and humanity in all who are oppressed.
Also, adequate resources for the self-development of the New Afrikan
nation would result in tremendous benefits--in science, in culture,
in society--for all humankind.
