That should be required reading in school.
Thing is, the intended audience will either not be able to read it, or think it does not mean them. They will say that any prominent black person giving this speech, or one like it, has just "sold out" to the Man.
Live the picture about the white man holding the homies back. Right. Guess the guy living in the big white house in DC was held back too.
I worked with a guy like that once..and the sad thing was he was a well-spoken, smart young man who just felt the blacks were being held back and not given any opportunities in life. I remember asking this guy to help me move a heavy object (it needed two people) he looked at me, told me that he was no longer a slave, and walked off.
