The pamphlet says that the problems are:

-Number One: The USA is, and always has been, a racist country...
-Racism: Open and Underhanded
-Slavery and Capitalism
-New Forms of Oppression Under Capitalism
-Once Again: The Form Changed But Oppression Remains
-The '60s Upheavals and Changes Since Then
-More Lies and Alibis
-Blacks and Immigrants
-The Black Family and The "Traditional Family"
-Summing Up and Pointing Forward

THE SOLUTION
ALL THIS OPPRESSION CAN BE ENDED: WE HAVE THE PROGRAM, PLAN, LEADERSHIP, AND LINE

I skimmed through that and found it interesting and pretty much right on. the only thing that concerns me is that i dont think there was a mention of sexism (but i might have missed it as i was skimming).

Sexism is also a major force of oppression within the black community, for both men and womyn. Stereotypes were created during slavery in regards to their gender and sexuality in order to justify how they were being treated (rape, for example, by slaveowner). These stereotypes still exist today and are very damaging to both african-american men and womyn.

sexism needs to be included in the equation if anything is to change. i've said it many times: you have to fight all forms of oppression together in order to change anything because they are not mutually exclusive, they need each other.
