“Steve Biko Speaks! Black Consciousness and the South African Revolution” - https://youtu.be/Q25It5kMexg. This is an interesting interview. Below are noteworthy statements.
“The history of it starts off after 1963.. 64. If you remember this era there were many arrests in this country which stemmed from underground activity by the PAC, by ANC, and this led to some kind of political emasculation of the black population especially. With the result that there was no participation by blacks in the articulation of their own aspirations. The whole opposition to what the government was doing to the blacks came in fact from white organisations, mainly student group …, Liberal Party, Progressive Party and the blacks were articulate, in any sense, were far few by comparison to the olden days and they were dispersed amongst these particular organisations. Now when I came to varsity, which was sometime in 1966, in my own analysis, a lot of my friends that was some kind of anomaly in this situation where whites were in fact the main participants in our oppression under the same time the main participants in the opposition to that oppression. It implies therefore that at no stage in this country where blacks throwing in their lot in the shift of political opinion the arena was totally controlled by whites in what we called totality of white power at the time.”
“The whites have locked up within a small minority of themselves the greater proportion of the country’s wealth and if we have a mere change of face of those in government positions what is likely to happen is black people will continue to be poor and you will get a few blacks filtering through into this so called bourgeoisie in our society will be run almost as of yesterday.”
Is this the reason why he was killed?
