For goodness sake, will they hear, will white people hear what we are trying to say? Please, all we are asking you to do is to recognize that we are humans, too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I want the white people to understand my people.
Everyone's voice should be heard when it comes to racial barriers.
So for a long time I closed my eyes to the possibility of America having a white voice.
There's a way that white people and black people spoke in the '70s that is nothing like how they speak now. They spoke from a soul, actually. There's a singsongy way of walking and talking that's just different now.
I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.
We have an open society. No one will come and take me away for saying what I am saying. But they don't have to, if they can control how many people hear it. And that's how they do it.
It's no surprise that White people say things when they are together about Black people.
Today's white majority is largely silent about the race question.
Let us stop saying 'white Americans' and 'colored Americans,' let us try once and for all saying... Americans. Let human beings be equal on Earth as in Heaven.
You may be assured that we won't ever let your words die. Like the words of our Master, Jesus Christ, they will live in our minds and our hearts and in the souls of black men and white men, brown men and yellow men as long as time shall last.
