I always wondered who is that guy speaking in track 2. First I thought it was Obama ,then I thought it could be Martin Luther King or maybe even Malcolm X or a mixture of all three. Listening to the track ,again and again ,this time I wrote the keypassage while listening to the track and started a Googlesearch for the keypassage and found out this.
What man meant for evil God meant for good
Bill Moyers interviewed Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the former pastor at Barack Obama’s church. The very interesting interview is in two parts. The interview ranges from Jeremiah Wright’s background, to Black Liberation Theology, to Wright’s reaction to Obama’s speech in Philadelphia.
REVEREND WRIGHT: Where governments lie, God does not lie. Where governments change, God does not change. And I’m through now. But let me leave you with one more thing. Governments fail. The government in this text comprised of Caesar, Cornelius, Pontius Pilate – the Roman government failed. The British government used to rule from East to West. The British government had a Union Jack. She colonized Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Hong Kong. Her navies ruled the seven seas all the way down to the tip of Argentina in the Falklands, but the British government failed. The Russian government failed. The Japanese government failed. The German government failed. And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on reservations. When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains. The government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton fields, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education and locked them into position of hopelessness and helplessness. The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law, and then wants us to sing God bless America? No, no, no. Not God bless America; God damn America! That’s in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating her citizen as less than human. God damn America as long as she keeps trying to act like she is God and she is supreme!
