From Blacks
Or Don't Buy At All
Whites and asians support each other. Blacks support white and asians.
But whites and asians do not support Black businesses.
IF BLACKS DO NOT SUPPO RT BLACKS HO W CAN WE S U R V IV E
SO AT LEAST
ON TUE S D A Y S WE S H O U LD BUY FROM BLACKS OR DO N T BUY AT ALL
THE STRUGGLE C O N TIN U E S
We need this effort of buying from Blacks because it will benefit Blacks, but at the same time it will alert whites
and Asians that we are not pleased with many things which are happening in this country and in South Africa.
T H IS IS A P R O -BLAC K EFFORT. It is n o t a n ti-w h ite (in c lu d in g A m e ric a n J e w s ).

This Black effort will benefit Blacks but will alert whites and Asians that we are not pleased with the racism in
this country. Whites, including the police and the administration, are not concerned about Black life whether
it is in Howard Beach, New York or in Soweto, South Africa. Whites and Asians have decided that Blacks can
not even walk in certain neighborhoods. Whites are acting out their racism, and Asians are adopting the
racism of whites against Blacks. They are even suggesting that we are inferior and illiterate.
Israel and Japan and whites in America are supporting the white minorities in South Africa with our tax money
Oui tax money should go directly to Blacks in Africa.
Whites have said they are trying to drive Blacks out o, business, even out of businesses which produce products
for Blacks.
Wh'te controlled media does such negative reporting on Blacks and internationally portrays negative images of
s‘
e me ia is also letting whites in South Africa determine what news Americans receive BLACKS
MUST RESPOND TO THESE NEGAT.VE ACTS BY WHITES AND ASIANS . BLACKS CAN RESPOND W A
W A Y THAT WILL BENEFIT BLACKS AND WILL ALERT WHITES AND ASIANS THAT WE DO NOT LIKE
THEIR ACTIONS.
