More quotes by Huey Newton
There's no reason for the establishment to fear me. But it has every right to fear the people collectively - I am one with the people.
Huey Newton
I do not think that life will change for the better without an assault on the Establishment, which goes on exploiting the wretched of the earth.
Huey Newton
I have the people behind me and the people are my strength.
Huey Newton
The racist dog policemen must withdraw immediately from our communities, cease their wanton murder and brutality and torture of black people, or face the wrath of the armed people.
Huey Newton
But before we die, how shall we live? I say with hope and dignity and if premature death is the result, that death has a meaning reactionary suicide can never have. It is the price of self-respect.
Huey Newton
My fear was not of death itself, but a death without meaning. I wanted my death to be something the people could relate to, a basis for further mobilization of the community.
Huey Newton
Cuba was neo-colony of the United States and still suffers a blockade. So, therefore, the consumer goods and so forth, we don't have here, especially when you leave the city areas it's a spartan life. But what is impressive about it is what is coming about. It's the future that all these socialists look forward to.
Huey Newton
The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism.

Power is the ability to define phenomena, and make it act in a desired manner.
Huey Newton
Let us go on outdoing ourselves a revolutionary man always transcends himself or otherwise he is not a revolutionary man, so we always do what we ask of ourselves or more than what we know we can do.
Huey Newton
By surrendering my life to the revolution, I found eternal life
Huey Newton
Youths are passed through schools that don’t teach, then forced to search for jobs that don’t exist and finally left stranded in the street to stare at the glamorous lives advertised around them.
Huey Newton
I would like to say that racial attitude and prejudice are probably here...It is very difficult to act this out - discrimination - discrimination is an act. After you have the prejudices, the disciminations come out, if there is an institution for it but the Cubans have attempted to create institutions free of discrimination.
Huey Newton
I think generally speaking, both people are trying to be free from the abuses of the white racist North American authorities. I think that's the one common denominator. The Cubans found a way to liberate themselves and we haven't found the way yet. So that's the difference.
Huey Newton
Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.
Huey Newton
If you stop struggling, then you stop life.
Huey Newton
The neighbors were more than neighbors [on Cuba]. They were like part of the family.
Huey Newton
I think the time is right for organizing and to give Blacks more political - the progressive Blacks, you have to make a distinction - participation, more Blacks in more authoritative positions, in more electoral political positions. But we want the right ones.
Huey Newton
The United States is already antique.
Huey Newton
I would like to add I'm innocent. I am not guilty.
