We must also realize that the problems
Of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved
Without a radical redistribution of political and economic power
Power
The kind of country we have here
The kind of society we have
The kind of strength we build in the United States
Will be the defense of freedom
If we do well here
If we meet our obligations
If were moving ahead
Then I think freedom will be secured around the world
If we fail then freedom fails
Power
Who taught you to hate yourself
From the top of your head to the souls of your feet
Who taught you to hate your own kind
So much so that you don't want to be around each other
Power
Who taught you to hate yourself
I should make it very clear that I do not think were doing enough
That I am not satisfied as an American with the progress we are making
This is a great country
But I think it could be a greater country
And this is a powerful country
But I think it could be a more powerful country
I'm not satisfied when we have over nine billion dollars worth of food
Some of it rotting
Fails
Power
I'm not satisfied to have fifty percent of our steel mill capacity unused
I'm not satisfied when the United States last year
Had the lowest rate of economic growth of any major industrialized society in the world
Because economic growth means strength and vitality
It means were able to sustain our defenses
It means were able to meet our defenses abroad
Rotting
It is a crime
For people to live in this rich nation
And receive starvation wage
Like the word wild
Wild means untamed
It means you're buggin'
Buggin' in terms means you're acting funny
Acting crazy
Crazy
I saw cases here in the United States
Where children took home part of their school lunch
In order to feed their families
Because I don't think were meeting our obligations towards these Americans
I'm not satisfied
Power
I think we've had to see that a riot is the language of the unheard
And what is it that America has failed to hear
