[Harrybelefonte/Charlayne Hunter-Gault:
Excerpt
Harry Belefonte:
..."Until white America begins or even decides to identify a moral course of history, I don't think anything is going to happen. I think America will self-destruct.
Charlayne Hunter-Gault: But the civil rights movement was black and white together.
Harry Belafonte: Yes....
....The case is that we have to fix it. The fact is that it's not fixable if white folks don't decide to change their course of conduct.
The only thing left for black people to do is to burn it down. We have been lynched. We have been murdered.
And, if you look around, never before in my 91 years of history as an American have I ever seen the nation more racially divisive than it is at this very moment, including the days of the Ku Klux Klan and the segregation laws of the South."
