They were Cue cards for his speeches. I Don t use the same speech he said. I have a different message for different schools. I speak differently to Whites than i do to Blacks. But basically the theme is the same Justice forthe Black Man. I train for a speech like 1 did for a fight. One time i worked on a speech from six o clock one morning to six the next 24 the theme he added does not in clude violence. I be got a message for that he said with obvious Pride. I Tell the Black peo ple that violence is like a Bull running Down a Railroad track toward a locomotive. Everybody say look at that Brave Brave Bull but when the Bull meets the train All he has left is blood and flesh on his Back. The White Man s got the weapon Sand the food. If you gave every Black Man a machine gun a year s round of ammunition and a hideout it would t help.

The Boss is a Jet propelled High powered executive who is subject to a lot of pressure. I sympathize with the Guy but i am beginning to think he is a sadist. When things Are going smoothly he is the sweetest Guy in the world. When things Don t go Well he is unbelievably brutal. I happen to be the Boss s number one whipping boy and it is getting me he beats on me i beat on my family. I realize this i unfair and i hate myself for it.
