FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1969 THE CAMPUS ECHO PAGE THREE CLEAVER-CARMICHAEL CONFLICT yans; and it was epitomized in the rivalry between Carmichael and Cleaver, which also split the black American continent into a potential ‘‘blood bath” suggested by the shootout on the UCLA campus where two Black Panthers were killed last year in an argument over the leadership of the black studies program. The articles, of both Cleaver and Carmichael, in The Black Scholar, journal of black stud ies and research, touch on this conflict. From Cleaver: “Society has been broken up into classes, into antagonistic ethnic and eco nomic groups that struggle against each other for survi val.” From Carmichael: “To get rid of capitalism—I reoeat—is not necessarily to get rid of racism . . . When you see a Chinese in America you say ‘there goes a Chinese.’ “Now that Chinese may not be able to speak Chi nese and may in fact be third or fourth generation American. If you see a third or fourth gen eration African-American, you say there goes a Negro. Let’s ask ourselves why.” CLEAVER: “One of the tech niques or one of the weapons that the enemy uses against us in our struggle is to turn words against us, to define our strug gle.” Cleaver stresses class above culture. Carmichael calls cul ture “a cohesive force,” or “what keeps people together.” CLEAVER: “Those who con trol the economy of the United States are able to control the rest of society.” CARMICHAEL: “One is talk ing about more than just chang ing governments and pow er, and that is changing the value system . . . There needs to be a clear sharpening of our idealogy.” (In Carmichael’s view, that idealogy revolves around Pan-Africanism and a quest for a “land base that can be used for black liberation, a land that we can say belongs to us.)” CLEAVER: “Poor black peo ple and poor white people and middle class people who are not themselves directly involved in the college situation, need to be made to understand that something of their own preci ous liberty ... is being decisi vely determined in the strug gles on the campuses today.” CARMICHAEL: “One cannot have a black university in any other society than a black so ciety because the job of the uni versity is to propagate the values and institutions of that society. In the United States, a black university, a truly black university, is going to be a totally anti-American.” CXEAVER: ‘‘So then it’s a question of time. The movement % EAGLES ON REVUE — The North Carolina Central University Marching 110 stand on revue during the halftime show at Baltimore, Maryland in a game between the Baltimore Colts and At lanta Falcons played November 30. — NCCU Photo. is always behind.” CARMICHAEL: “In Ameri ca, folk seem to think that the revolution there — if there is such a thing, or even if there will be such a thing—will all be over in five years, when actu ally we are talking about a generatipn of struggle.” CLEAVER: “We have to struggle in order to survive.” CARMICHAEL: “Revolution This Christmas give your friends albums Miles Davis lnAS»t«ntw»v is not about dying; it’s about living.
