Thank you for presenting this content. I was unfamiliar with this particular speaker before, but his discussions have popped up in my CZcams suggestions all weekend; and being a man of color, I can really relate to his topics of black pride, unity and black power. Interestingly, he mentioned in this talk that the world has enough resources for everyone to live like kings and queens but these resources are controlled by a greedy small minded group of people who think the world is theirs and who want everything for themselves, while not allowing others to live. What will the feeling feel like when they are on their death beds knowing they were the cause of such hate, racism, violence, wars, corruption and suffering on this planet because of their greed? Their pain of conscience has to be great for what they have done unnecessarily to others. That is 100% the truth. Thank you again.

Rich poetic articulation of class longings and strategic genius!
Intelligent guy...I fear that survivors of the civil rights leaders may have had to break bread with the oppressors to stay out of their crosshairs...
Great Man.
