<p><span>Interviewer</span> <span> Colin Powell has said
that, "the military is an excellent way for a Black
person to advance."
</span></p>
<p><span>Kwame Ture(Stokely Carmichael)</span> <span> I
cannot see how anyone can tell me that the best way
for one to advance is by being a hired killer. You
mean to tell me that the only way we can advance is by
being killers and being killers of the enemies of
American Imperialism? Because who do we kill? We don't
kill our enemies! Do we go to Azania, South Africa,
and kill the clerk? Do we kill the Ku Klux Klan? Do we
kill racist policemen? No, we go and we kill Arabs who
ain't doing nothing against us. We don't even know
them; they've never done anything against us. So, it
is clear here that Mr. Powell is a liar. Mr. Powell is
a traitor to his people, and Mr. Powell is a traitor
to humanity, and Mr. Powell accepts that position.
That position was made again, and don't you ever
forget it, because of Dr. Martin Luther King. If you
love King you can never love Powell.

<p><span>Interviewer</span> <span> If you were in a
position to advise someone who had attained the
position of general in the U.S. Army, and was offered
the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, what would you
have said?
</span></p>
<p><span>Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael)</span> <span>
Blow it up.
</span></p>
<p><span>Interviewer</span> <span> Hahaha, the
Pentagon?!?
</span></p>
<p><span>Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael)</span> <span>
Blow it up.</span></p>
