You know that I'm still. Thinking and telling things as it is as it is. Am I not saying things that. Some of you will like but that is the process you must go through when you mature up to now I did don't want to I'm going to talk about the black

And the more the outdoors said the old want to change it. Giving way to the new. Now the very end of British right our Matthew Arnold said we live between two worlds. One where I was good and the other is not yet born. And that is where we find ourselves in. I don't know. You are about Iowa. And God. Gonna do man.

And people like you have. On his Care Bears. Have you heard of the trouble I've got a roll of the drums a big concert and now that we have no new money.

Are you serious about black power. We will block was something new. Was created by a family letter from Jamaica. Whereas many who came when I was trying to use the middle name are cars going off it. And. When you got to be out of the way I think I'm not what you mean is not right. Anybody else. Any. Other way is the world

I said well you know a young white man and a young white woman the problem you have is you have no leadership.

Many many are saying no nation no little girl. Now those surging young white people have an America. You have you here and there I saw it. So I'm going to like our leaders are not we got our we got Astro police car Marco we got our rap. We have Malcolm are going to get us there and you're going to be all Americans. We're living a great living that day. And we had been fixed. And. Now we're striking out in many directions

Christian good friend you know how DOD got the game back to a lot of unexpected founders. And he had a leaning towards this chick and he fired them both before they left they took profiles with me subsequently got married and ready to open fire out in black and white. But when they come to me they haven't proven one thing except that I am black. Before you got to jump back

apartheid and that black heart is so strong that it's keep an ad right madam. You know a lot of back out again it's not. As big a deal if you have a dream snake one of them going to. Have a heart. Now let us discuss the question of violence and I don't know it's not go out and not looking by the way it came from an aide who weeks ago elevations didn't believe it and is now going on five hours and really is what I was going to confession to admit that he had been wrong that he had carried the nonviolence to the point where black and white

films were beginning to push him aside. You know Wall Street of the civil rights movement. And Randolph over the great man. And there was no one left there oh Martin Luther. Martin came down and this is big. And Martin is no longer truly committed to nonviolence. And we're going to you know I'm a Baptist. Crime murder on the bench and they sit there until they see the late the man on the banks is why I got my little boy in the morning and one day we might make a man out here. Might take back a law office and let him know

that you don't get anything right about now when I was a kid going to public school and I had I've had that is the homework that without effort it is worth what it costs. I wanted to come on down a little bit more and talk about the fact that I have not. Been You don't need Barbara. Because the plan is there is no up to the front. You don't have to arm. But when you got got an hour and. Then you don't need it back. Or if you don't have it you don't then you've got to how to use it. I'm going to tell you young white men and women good day. And you have no leaders yet. When you're living out of your society that you are power and have completely ruined not

integrating you. Back to spot. Not when there is no disgrace or not right and are Americans just like you know. All you some of us have more of a brother. I want to give you some German Jews. But I was my age. OK Brian Fry it. In a bun for a moment. Don't let anyone. Don't let anyone keep you want of a crush of media. Right. Maybe write it maybe. But I'm going to have to start over your entire life. Right but what you said about all the world of good will of God we're going to see how that would be in my little part of the way.

Don't go on with the math. Go along with your little brother. And maybe one day a lot of. You can learn from our mate is not the only ones who want good. Morning America out of that never have the right man and women that are not. But. And so I'm going to the grave in that room. Who's going to be a part of it. You won't be just but it won't just be the

number of our souls who security guard you will be are you going to our challenge you are slow. To Great America but never have the America that we have. 1776 there remarked our vast Washington Ron Paul lovely great despair and so our souls really are economically exploited. That's the way it should be right there good people always in the black revolution. Who's going to help pay Paul.

In this grade. Who is he and was he about ours. Why is that would you do it and this was the mark of the above then. And we're the home of American 1500000 white families making a dollar a year. I challenge you to create an America. In which there will be no. Leverage. It's really not that hard. And I'm proud. I challenge you to create an America where there are a great many in black. Right because you're an employment rate among black people today on a percentage basis grain times that of whites in America. I challenge you to create an America in which I go on campuses and find in any way UCLA and San Diego and here where the student body is less than 1 percent black in a

nation that 12 percent of the population. I challenge you know best spare and brains page program for all of us to lose count grow and evolve. You know who are going to church Bob. American men and women who need this education that help you are out far right you are and you do there. We have dropped out of my race who want to be dropped in the Americans who have dropped in a raid who want a big drop out. I say there can be a correlation of the drop outs and the drop and we can create a bad day. And it's going to come it's going to come.

And by the people Protestant and Catholic and those three fingers up and use up a lot. That's a WS. And those three I noticed I was scraping those are to Venus for a double victory. Who care and how do you know we tried to improve upon lovely people in Southeast Asia. A way of democracy that we're not practicing Yeah I.
