...Latin American debt. We want to pay. What we are trying to communicate to creditor nations is: Help us sustain a process of development that will permit us to pay without producing social explosions, without paralyzing our economies...

Though the quintet and Alan Shaw disagree with me--owing perhaps to their low leadership expectations of Black students--I still consider it a pathetic and disorienting contradiction for Black students with ethnocentric identities to ask others (whites) to generate resources to sustain their parochial preferences...
