हमारा रुख यह था: यदि तुम हम पर हमला नहीं करोगे, तो कोई हिंसा नहीं होगी; यदि तुम हम पर हिंसा लाओगे, तो हम अपना बचाव करेंगे।

Our position was: If you don't attack us, there won't be any violence; if you bring violence to us, we will defend ourselves.

एक ऐसी कौम जिसने एक नस्लवादी समाज के हाथों लंबे समय तक बहुत कुछ सहा है, उसे कहीं तो लक्ष्मण रेखा खींचनी ही होगी... अमेरिका के अश्वेत समुदायों को एक होकर उस प्रवृत्ति के बढ़ते कदम को रोकना होगा जो अनिवार्य रूप से उनके पूरी तरह विनाश की ओर ले जाती है।

A people who have suffered so much for so long at hands of a racist society must draw the line somewhere.... the black communities of America must rise up as one man to halt the progression of a trend that leads inevitably to their total destruction.

हम किसी से भी उसकी त्वचा के रंग की वजह से नफरत नहीं करते। हम उत्पीड़न से नफरत करते हैं!

We don't hate nobody because of their color. We hate oppression!

पुलिसकर्मी होना कोई बुरी बात नहीं है। गोरे होने में कुछ भी गलत नहीं है। बात तो यह है कि आपकी नीयत (दिल) कैसी है... हमें हर किसी को इस संकीर्ण और अलगाववादी सोच से बाहर निकालना होगा।

There's nothing wrong with being a cop. There's nothing wrong with being a white person. It's about where your heart is...We've got to get everyone beyond the xenophobic isolationism.

एक ऐसा समाज जिसने नस्लवादी व्यवस्था के जुल्म इतने लंबे समय तक और इतने गहरे सहे हैं, उसे कहीं तो सीमा तय करनी ही होगी।

A people who have suffered so much for so long at the hands of a racist society must draw the line somewhere.

हम इस सच्चाई से पूरी तरह वाकिफ हैं कि सुपरमैन ने कभी किसी अश्वेत इंसान को नहीं बचाया। क्या आपको यह बात समझ आई?

We're hip to the fact that Superman never saved no black people. You got that?

युवाओं की एक पूरी पीढ़ी ऐसी है जो यह बिल्कुल नहीं जानती कि एफबीआई ने ब्लैक पैंथर पार्टी पर कितने क्रूर तरीके से हमले किए थे और क्यों किए थे।

There is an entire generation of young people who know nothing about how viciously the FBI attacked The Black Panther Party, and why.

पूँजीवादी समाज में राजनीतिक और आर्थिक ताकत हासिल करने के लिए पूँजी की जरूरत होती है।

To develop political and economic power in a capitalist society, you need capital.

उदाहरण के लिए, जब हम 'सुअर' शब्द का इस्तेमाल करते हैं, तो हमारा इशारा उन लोगों से होता है जो आम जनता के संवैधानिक अधिकारों का लगातार हनन करते हैं—चाहे वे एकाधिकारवादी पूँजीपति हों या पुलिस। अब इस शब्द को विद्रोहियों, हिप्पियों और अल्पसंख्यक समुदायों द्वारा भी अपनाया जा रहा है। यहाँ तक कि जब पुलिस ने हड़ताल तोड़ने वालों का साथ दिया (जैसे यूनियन ऑयल में हुआ था, जहाँ 100 स्थानीय पुलिसकर्मियों ने हड़तालियों के सिर फोड़ दिए थे), तो मजदूरों ने भी उन्हें उनके असली नाम से पुकारना शुरू कर दिया।

When we use the term pig, for example, we are referring to the people who systematically violate the peoples' constitutional rights - whether they be monopoly capitalists or police. The term is now being adopted by radicals, hippies, and minority peoples. Even the workers, when the pigs supported strike-breakers like they did as Union Oil where 100 local police came in a cracked strikers' heads, began to call them by their true name.

एक तरफ, बंदूकें लोगों के मन में अपनी छाप छोड़ने के लिए थीं। लेकिन उससे भी बड़ी बात यह थी कि हम जानते थे कि बिना बंदूकों के आप पुलिस पर नजर नहीं रख सकते, इसलिए हम अपने साथ बंदूकें लेकर गए ताकि पुलिस को यह अहसास करा सकें कि हमारे पास भी मुकाबला करने की ताकत है।

On the one hand, the guns were there to help capture the imagination of the people. But more important, since we knew that you couldn't observe the police without guns, we took our guns with us to let the police know that we have an equalizer.

शिकागो में मैंने केवल अपनी बात रखने के अपने कानूनी अधिकार का इस्तेमाल किया था, और इसके बदले मुझे चार साल की जेल की सजा दे दी गई। लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि अमेरिकी न्याय व्यवस्था द्वारा किया गया सबसे बड़ा अन्याय यह है कि एक अश्वेत व्यक्ति को कभी अपने जैसे लोगों (हमउम्र और हमदर्दों) की जूरी नहीं मिल पाती।

All I did in Chicago was to exercise my legal right to speak on my own behalf and I was given four years in jail as a result. But I think the most serious injustice perpetrated by the court system in America is the inability of a black man to get a jury of his peers.

मुझे लगता है कि अमेरिकी सपना ऐसी अधिक प्रगतिशील नीतियों पर आधारित होना चाहिए जो उस भविष्य की दुनिया का मार्ग प्रशस्त करें जिसे मैं 'सहयोगी मानवतावाद' कहता हूँ।

I think the American Dream should be about a greater progressive legislation that allows for what I call a necessary future world of cooperational humanism.

अब लोगों को यह समझ में आ गया है कि दमनकारी से निपटने का एकमात्र तरीका अपनी शर्तों पर निपटना है, और हमने ऐसा करके दिखाया भी।

The people have now come to realize that the only way to deal with the oppressor is to deal on our own terms and this was done.

हम आम गोरे व्यक्ति की बात नहीं कर रहे थे: हम बात कर रहे थे कॉरपोरेट के धनपतियों, नस्लवादी फूहड़ राजनेताओं और सरकार के उन चापलूसों की (जैसा कि हम उन्हें कहा करते थे) जो इस सारे शोषण और नस्लवाद को बढ़ावा देते हैं।

We were not talking about the average white person: we was talking about the corporate money rich and the racist jive politicians and the lackeys, as we used to call them, for the government who perpetuate all this exploitation and racism.

मैं आज भी एक राजनीतिक क्रांतिकारी हूँ। मेरे अंदर की आग कभी नहीं बुझी, लेकिन नजरिए और समझ बदल जाती है।

लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि लोगों को, खासकर गोरे लोगों को यह समझना होगा कि गेत्टो (बस्ती) की अपनी एक अलग भाषा होती है। चूंकि पार्टी के ज्यादातर सदस्य उसी गेत्टो से आते हैं, इसलिए यदि पार्टी को लोगों तक अपनी बात पहुंचानी है, तो उसे उन्हीं की भाषा में बात करनी होगी।

But I think people, especially white people, have to come to understand that the language of the ghetto is a language of its own, and as the party - whose members for the most part come from the ghetto - seeks to talk to the people, it must speak the people's language.

पैसा विनिमय का जरिया है, और इसी से सब कुछ संभव होता है। यह कहना कि आप इससे नफरत करते हैं, कोई कोरी और अवास्तविक बकवास है।

Money is the medium of exchange, and it's how you make things happen. To say you hate it is some farfetched, idealistic crap.

पहला मुद्दा यह था कि हम अपने अश्वेत समुदाय के भविष्य का फैसला खुद करने की ताकत चाहते थे। हम जनता के सामने एक ऐसा घोषणापत्र रखना चाहते थे जो बिल्कुल सीधा और स्पष्ट हो। हम कोई लंबा-चौड़ा भाषण या निबंध नहीं देना चाहते थे।

The first point was we wanted power to determine our own destiny in our own black community. And what we had done is, we wanted to write a program that was straightforward to the people. We didn't want to give a long dissertation.

हम किसी हीरो की तरह वहां खड़े होकर पुलिस पर नजर रखते थे, और पुलिस हमसे डरकर आगे बढ़ने की हिम्मत नहीं जुटा पाती थी।

We were like heroes, to stand there and observe the police, and the police were scared to move upon us.

मुझे अमेरिका का बारबेक्यू किंग बनने में कोई झिझक नहीं होगी। मैं इसे अपनी बाकी पहिचानों में जोड़ लूंगा: जैज संगीतकार, बढ़ई, वास्तुकार, इंजीनियर और क्रांतिकारी।

I'd have no trouble being the barbecue kingpin of America. I'd just add it to all the other things I am: jazz musician, carpenter, architect, engineer and revolutionary.

चुनावी राजनीति हमेशा से ब्लैक पैंथर पार्टी का एक उद्देश्य रही है, इसलिए बराक ओबामा उस सपने, संघर्ष और बलिदान का एक हिस्सा हैं जिसके लिए हमने लड़ाई लड़ी और जाने दीं।
