But you will let anyone come in and take control of the economy of your community, control the housing, control the education, control the jobs, control the businesses, under the pre-text that you want to integrate. No, you outta your mind.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
