“I believe deeply in a common humanity. The black man belongs to the family of man. One part of that family is out of control - like a virus or cancer - and that is the white man. He and his technological society are bent on destroying the world. Everywhere the white man has gone with his empire, he has destroyed people, races, societies, cultures, and in the course of it, has sterilized himself. He is completely the mechanical man: without heart, without soul. He is the Tin Man of The Wizard of Oz. But I don't believe that all the white people in the world are no good.” PeopleMenWorldBelieveHeartSoulHumanityCultureCoursesI BelieveBlackWhiteCommonRaceGoneDon't BelieveCancerDestroyedEmpiresDestroyingTechnologicalBentWhite ManWizardsVirusesTinCommon HumanityTin Man Book:Conversations with Margaret Walker Source: Conversations with Margaret Walker
