Zabriskie Point - Toby Dammit

In an unlit first floor room at the Kent State University campus in Kent, Ohio, at dusk, many White students and two black non-students discussed an impending student strike. The opening issue was one; to protest the war in Vietnam and militarism in general. The non-students with ‘fros reaching for the sky dominated the conversation, cutting off others, in order to instill their “relevant” knowledge of the ghetto and its dynamics, and how that should be on the striking agenda.

Mark Daley, a White freshman, who hailed from various towns in California, stormed out of the meeting after saying he is "willing to die for the cause, but not of boredom," which drew seemingly unanimous criticism from the young White “radicals” present. Calls of “racist” and “Yu doan be down wid da bruthas” followed him as he moved through the crowd.
