Hounds Of Hunger

"You've been interviewing me for ten minutes and you ain't said nothing positive about our people yet . . ."
"If you're including me in that our people you might be somewhat presumptuous.  What have your people done positive or constructive -- rioting, looting, the same old noise, as the great Bard of Avon said:  '. . . sound and fury, signifying nothing . . .' "
"You can't hang that on our movement -- where you been!  We're a new movement . . ."
"There so many groups prancing and hollering out there who can keep up with them or cares to.  Besides, Miss Widipee, you called me."
"Well, I like the name of your radio show . . . Hounds of Hunger . . . that fits us . . ."

"Considering the whacky people you represent,  your organization sounds right for my show -- what did you say the name of your group is . . ?"
"We're the DMM -- the Dark Meat Movement . . . and all these people making speeches and holding discussions if they don't say sump'um 'bout Dark Meat we gon' crash in on'em . . ."
"And you call that positive and constructive?  Don't you think that all the time you waste trying to disrupt what other people are doing to resolve broader problems in our society and the world you could better use your time on the problems in your so-called communities?"
"We don't want to git into all that stuff.  We want people to pay attention to us.  That's why I wanted to be on your show . . ."

"As a famous General of your color said to some people attempting to use his name for selfish reasons:  'I'm your color but not your kind.' "
"We want people to recognize that our lives ain't worthless . . ."
"Don't tell us, show us.  Shout it in your so-called communities where you're killing each other like dummies and your 'leaders,' bootlegging racism, blame whites and police for the killings and all the problems of  your people . . . ."
