A Dialogue between Cornel West and Carl Dix
May 20, 2013, New York City
Editor's note: Tyisha Miller was a 19-year-old African-American woman shot dead by Riverside, California police in 1998. Miller had been passed out in her car, resulting from a seizure, when police claimed that she suddenly awoke and had a gun; they fired 23 times at her, hitting her at least 12 times, and murdering her. Bob Avakian addressed this.
If you can't handle this situation differently than this, then get the fuck out of the way. Not only out of the way of this situation, but get off the earth. Get out of the way of the masses of people. Because, you know, we could have handled this situation any number of ways that would have resulted in a much better outcome. And frankly, if we had state power and we were faced with a similar situation, we would sooner have one of our own people's police killed than go wantonly murder one of the masses. That's what you're supposed to do if you're actually trying to be a servant of the people. You go there and you put your own life on the line, rather than just wantonly murder one of the people. Fuck all this "serve and protect" bullshit! If they were there to serve and protect, they would have found any way but the way they did it to handle this scene. They could have and would have found a solution that was much better than this. This is the way the proletariat, when it's been in power has handled—and would again handle—this kind of thing, valuing the lives of the masses of people. As opposed to the bourgeoisie in power, where the role of their police is to terrorize the masses, including wantonly murdering them, murdering them without provocation, without necessity, because exactly the more arbitrary the terror is, the more broadly it affects the masses. And that's one of the reasons why they like to engage in, and have as one of their main functions to engage in, wanton and arbitrary terror against the masses of people.

Statement by Carl Dix on Mistrial in the Murder of Jordan Davis
While the jury convicted Dunn of secondary counts, THEY DID NOT REACH A DECISION ON THE MURDER OF JORDAN DAVIS!!! ONCE AGAIN THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR: BLACK YOUTH—ALL BLACK YOUTH—HAVE TARGETS ON THEIR BACK. Dunn's defense came down to saying any white person has the right to kill any Black person he or she feels is a threat to them. And the jury did not contradict that!Read more

On the Murder of Trayvon Martin and the Outrageous Acquittal of His Killer:
THEY MUST NOT—THEY WILL NOT—GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!
The whole country was rocked—and is
rocking—over the outrageous acquittal of George Zimmerman. This must be
a watershed moment. This must become the day that people look back on
and say, “that’s when people began to see that you couldn’t reform this
shit, and a whole different way—a revolution—was needed.”

This statement is circulating for signatures and to influence broad public opinion. Funds are urgently needed to publish this statement.
The killing of Trayvon Martin and 2.4 million in prison make clear that there is a whole generation of Black and Latino youth who have been marked and treated as a "generation of suspects" to be murdered and jailed. This is not an issue for Black people alone but for all who care about justice; it is not a random tragedy. We say NO MORE!

After the Trayvon Martin Verdict:
The Whole Damned System Is Guilty! NOW’S THE TIME TO STAND UP—WE NEED REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS!
Statement from Carl Dix
July 16, 2013. The Not Guilty verdict in the Trayvon Martin case slammed home the legacy of centuries of slavery and said it's OK to lynch Black youth in America. The target on the backs of Black youth has been given legal justification again.
The Stakes of the Trayvon Martin Case... and the Need to SEIZE THE TIME!
July 7, 2013. Right now, American society—with the whole world increasingly taking notice—is polarizing. Two sides are lining up—one upholding the right of the Trayvon Martins of this world to live and flourish and, if they are attacked, to have justice... and the other upholding the supposed rights of people like George Zimmerman to kill people like Trayvon with impunity.

We Are All Trayvon, and We Need to Take That Message to The Streets!
What Happens When We Let the System Work?
by Carl Dix
"We have achieved what we set out to do. All we wanted from the beginning was to see this case in court. Now that Zimmerman is going on trial, people need to sit back and let the court do its job."... Statements like this are wrong and dangerous.
On the Importance of the Slogan "We Are All Trayvon, the Whole Damn System Is Guilty"
by Clyde Young
In opposition to the slogan “We Are All Trayvon,” a Black youth argued in a recent meeting that it is Blacks and not “everyone” who are the target of racial profiling, police brutality and murder and the pipeline leading to mass incarceration. And further that the system has declared open season on Blacks and not on “all of us” and that Black people have been subjected to oppression, brutality and murder throughout history because of the color of their skin.
