Q) Are you concerned primarily
with people of African decent or
people in general?
A) "We are a human rights or­
ganization, so we care about all
human suffering, We are not
against white people for the sake
of 00101'. We are against the sick,
mind set, of white supremacy.
Historically, there has never been
a group as oppressed as our pe0-
ple. Our suffering has gone un­
solved longer than that of any
other race. So it would be fair to
say, that there are special empha­
sis on African Americans.
