We talk about freedoms for African-Americans but unless you have more than one option politically, how free are you?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Freedom is a struggle, and we do it together. Not only together as black citizens, but black and white together.
If you have no authority to legislate my freedoms, then I'm truly free, at least from you.
Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
In all my life, I have never been free. I have never been able to do anything with freedom, except in the field of my writing.
I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.
Real freedom is creative, proactive, and will take me into new territories. I am not free if my freedom is predicated on reacting to my past.
I do believe that freedom isn't free - but today the corporate and political right wing is trying to cheapen this truly American value. They've been cynically using the word 'freedom' to rally the American public against its own best interests.
Even though we know freedom as an idea we're not really as free as we think we are.
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.
