"The White power structure today is just as much interested in perpetuating slavery as the the White power structure was a hundred years ago. Only now they use modern methods of doing so. And realizing that the Black people in this country are waking up and becoming filled with a desire to be looked upon as men, and as human beings, the White power structure to slow down that struggle for freedom and human dignity uses tricks. A hundred years ago they could do it with chains…today they, they use tricks. And one of the tricks that they’ve invented is, is this token integration, to give the so-called Negro leaders to accept a few token crumbs of integration, that don’t solve any problems for the masses of Black people in this country whatsoever, but it does make the hand-picked Negroes be satisfied to slow down the cry of the masses" --Malcolm X
