The future of the Negro in this country is precisely as bright or as dark as the future of the country.

It is entirely up to the American people and our representatives. It is entirely up to the American

What white people have to do is try to find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a nigger in the first place.

Because I'm not a nigger, I'm a man.

But if you think I'm a nigger, it means you need it.

You know, other kind of words, even cool, like if you think about just the way in which just it enters the American like a cultural lexicon right we were able to reframe that but we haven't been able to do the the N word in the same way and I think that is because there are there it's not that it has a power over you. It is because we don't want to be honest with ourselves about I think really why that whose

word that is right and that's what again back to James Bowen he was like that's

that's white people's work right and he was like you basically and he somebody

Why did they need it right he was like why was it

exactly he was like why do you need why do you need why do you need why do you need

why do you need it why do you need it? Why do you? Why do you?
