and held it to her chest. Like this.

And all around her, everything

was burned and ravaged by war.

And the Negroes had become bad.

And she said-- I can't remember.

Anyway, she said she would farm

the land even without slaves.

Not cotton, of course.

You'd need Negroes for that.

It's so hard, under the sun.

But there are many

other good things here in the south:

fruits, vegetables.

Our vegetables are so good.

The salad, the peas.

Have you ever tasted southern peas?

...as we can see by reading the pages

of the greatest American Negro poet,

LeroyJones, whose poem --

''Land, Land, Land. The Negro will not

be a man until he has his own land.

Negro, look at the ground. ''

- Yoo-hoo, I'm ready.

- ''Grab a handful of dirt,

and shove your nails into the concrete.

It's real and it's yours.

- You just have to want it. ''

- On page 2 1 7, Malcolm X adds.:

''There's only one people on earth

that can slit the white man's throat.

His population of slaves,

the Negroes. ''

We will now hand the microphone over

to the leader of the Black Panthers.

But that's not all. They reject

integration, they practice violence,

ideological crime, reverse racism.

They indoctrinate their children

in exchange for a meal.

They want to own five states, immediate

freedom for all Negro criminals,

exemption from military service, and

the freedom to carry machine guns.

But sometimes we're too quick

to judge.

Let's take a look

at these strange humans.

Their intentions are good,

though at times misunderstood.

These humans practice non-violence,

ideological love,

free love, the integration of the sexes,

and a perfect racial confusion

with the Negroes,

together with whom they propose

to build the America of the future.

And yet, LeroyJones, today's foremost

representative of Negro-ness says,

''Embracing the non-violence that young

whites preach about is nothing short of

diving into the current

of this failed American civilization.

America is a Sodom.

America is a Gomorrah.

America is a Babylon.

This is the society in which

Martin Luther King wanted

the Negroes to get ready to join.

I'd rather go to hell. But the chance

of becoming citizens of Gomorrah

is the best thing that whites have

right now to offer the Negroes.

If you hope for the survival of this

rotten society, of this corrupt order,

of this falling Rome, ready to cut your

balls off with the edge of a dollar,

you'll lose. Christ and the effigy

of the dollar are one and the same.

We Negroes must remember

all that we are seeing now,

and in the end we must erupt

like a volcano,

so we can crush, under flowing,

molten lava this herd of pigs

who have transformed the world

into a giant garbage can.''

LeroyJones, again: ''The white man's

attitude toward sex is sick.

The white man makes sex dirty.

The white man is primitive,

and he has the sexual intelligence

of a cave man.

The white man is afraid of the Negro

because he knows he's sexually inferior.

His sexual device is out of order.

That's why liberal whites

have allowed us

a certain amount of progress

toward virility,

and today he's telling us,

'One day we'll let you have balls.

Until then, keep yourself cool.'

American whites are taught to be

pederasts in school.

That's why their faces are weak

and expressionless.

Their voices, gestures and

mannerisms are those of eunuchs.

white women are stocky whores,

covered in makeup.

They don't know what to do

to fire up their impotent males.

white American women are

the ugliest and most obscene on earth.

The famous question, 'Would you allow

your daughter to marry a Negro?'

is outdated.

Today the question is,

'Would you allow your son

to marry a white woman?'

Today the roles are reversed.''

The Black Panthers say,

''When the people rise up

to free themselves from slavery,

they must arm themselves with guns.

If we want to free ourselves of guns,

we must arm ourselves with guns.''

And now Cleaver:

''America is defended by sadistic

and bloodthirsty masters.

The blood, the tears

and suffering of the Negro

are the foundation on which

America rests.

We were forced to build it. But

if they force us to, we will destroy it,

and the result

will be a horrific bloodbath.

We, too, are bloodthirsty.''

But the Negroes are also hungry.

At least that's what it says

on the banner

that leads the demonstration

at Cape Kennedy

on the occasion of the first

white men on the moon.

The demonstration was organized

by Martin Luther King's successor,

Reverend Abernathy, who says,

''You, white man, are the cause

of all our woes.

You tore us away

from Africa, made us slaves,

kept us in ignorance, exploited us, got

rich, and now you're going to the moon.

We can't accept that. Stop playing

with your millionaire's toys,

and pay us the damages you owe us.

Where are you going, white man,

with your billionaire's toy?

What are you running away from,

your past?

What did you do,

that was so bad?

Why do your

black brothers hate you so?

It's useless to run away,

because the past is not behind us,

as Abernathy believes,

but ahead, traveling toward the stars,

just like Einstein said.

And the faster

you run, the faster you'll get there.''

GOODBYE UNCLE TOM

- Is this a bad time?

- No, please, come in.

- Who are these people?

- They are Europeans.

To be exact, they're Italians,

Italian journalists.

They've come here to the south

to conduct an inquiry, right?

In inquiry on slavery.

They seem to be quite shocked.

- What is their religion?

- Catholic, I think.

- You're Catholic, aren't you?

- Roman Catholic Apostolic.

They shouldn't be so shocked, then.

After all, the Pope, who is usually

so generous with his excommunications,

has never excommunicated

a merchant of black meat.

Unless he eats it on Fridays.

- Why are they here, then?

- I think they're slaves, too.

You know Catholics. They're slaves

of the fascination of sin.

Or they simply want to protest.

What are we going to do about it?

These Europeans, after the French

Revolution, do nothing but protest.

Please, times have changed:

Rousseau, Diderot, Voltaire...

This is rich, Catholics who read

books written by the devil.

What would His Holiness say?

Please! These gentlemen are my guests.

And following the example

of other friends of mine,

have given them

free access to the entire house.

This way they'll see who

the real slaves and masters are.

No, Senator, please.

No chicken bones.

They're very dangerous to puppies.

I had to take two of them to the vet.

It's so annoying.

Well, since each one of you

is a famous person,

your frank and authoritative statements

on the subject of slavery

should be very useful to these

gentlemen.

I agree,

and I'll be the first.

It's absolutely true that slavery

cannot be hidden,

just like a volcano's

eruption or a cancerous affliction

that erodes a man's face.

I, for one, have freed my slaves,
