Being born here does not make you an American. I'm not an American, you are not an American. You are one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of America. You and I, we've never seen any democracy. We ain't see no democracy on the cotton fields of Georgia, wasn't no democracy down there. We didn't see any democracy on the streets of Harlem, in the streets of Brooklyn, in the streets of Detroit, in Chicago. Ain't no democracy down there. No, we've never seen democracy! All we've seen is hypocrisy! We don't see any American Dream. We've experienced only the American Nightmare.
