The civil rights movement “was always about becoming white,” Wright said at the seminar.
At another point, he said: “White folk done took this country. You’re in their home and they’re going to let you know it.”
“We probably have more African-Americans who’ve been brainwashed than we have South Africans who’ve been brainwashed,”
“You are not now, nor have you ever been, nor will you ever be a brother to white folk,” he said. “And if you do not realize that, you are in serious trouble.”
He cited the writings of Bill Jones — author of the book “Is God a White Racist?” — as proof that white people cannot be trusted. “Bill said, ‘They just killed four of their own at Kent State. They’ll step on you like a cockroach and keep on movin’, cause you not a brother to them.’ ”
Wright referred to Italians as “Mamma Luigi” and “pizzeria.” He said the educational system in America is designed by whites to miseducate blacks “not by benign neglect but by malignant intent.”
