“The white liberal believes something should be done, but not too soon and not here. He is all negation, the white liberal: now is not the time, this is not the place, the weapon you have is too large or too small. He is all ceremony, all ritual. He pretends, he postures, he resolves. Always, everywhere, in every age, the white liberal flees the principle made black flesh. He wants results without risks, freedom without danger, love without hate. He affirms tomorrow, denies yesterday, and evades today. He is all form, all means, all words - and no substance.”
