Welcome to the Sports Motivation podcast. This is your host, Nees Showbo. Today, I'm breaking down a bar,

and this happens to be from a speech from one of my favorite people. I say people because I admire

this person for a lot of reasons. So they're a speaker, there are civil rights activists, they're a coach, teacher, philosopher, and this is Malcolm X.

And this is a clip from a speech he did when he opened up for Fannie Lou Hamer.

And he's talking about the power of anger, all right?

The power of anger.

And I want Malcolm X to break it down.

And I want to tell you why this means so much to me, especially right now, and especially

for you as you navigate your way towards accomplishing what you want at a high level

and creating those

high standards for yourself and really doing that consistently, especially when everyone around you

is used to coasting. Most people around you are living mediocre lives and they're okay with it,

but you're not. So there's a certain method by which to go about dealing with certain emotions,

and Malcolm X talks about that.

So B. Craig, go ahead and play that.

When I was in Africa, I noticed some of the Africans got their freedom faster than others.

Some areas of the African continent became

independence faster than other areas. And I noticed that in the areas where independence

had been gotten, someone got angry. And in the areas where independence had not been achieved

yet, no one was angry. They were sad. They'd sit around and talk about their place, but they weren't mad.

And usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition.

But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
