2. Yeah no one really wants to talk about that do they?

If they did that the players would stand proudly.

3. If money is free speech per the Supremes, certainly kneeling is also.

4. Harry Belafonte: To realize Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream, white America needs to change course

[Pbs/charlayne hunter-gault]

Snip

Charlayne Hunter-Gault: OK.

So, what do you think it will take today to make his dream of the beloved community a reality?

Harry Belafonte: Until white America begins or even decides to identify a moral course of history, I don't think anything is going to happen. I think America will self-destruct.

Charlayne Hunter-Gault: But the civil rights movement was black and white together.

Harry Belafonte: Yes.

Charlayne Hunter-Gault: That's not the case anymore?

Harry Belafonte: That's the case, but it's not the fact.

The case is that we have to fix it. The fact is that it's not fixable if white folks don't decide to change their course of conduct.

The only thing left for black people to do is to burn it down. We have been lynched. We have been murdered.

And, if you look around, never before in my 91 years of history as an American have I ever seen the nation more racially divisive than it is at this very moment, including the days of the Ku Klux Klan and the segregation laws of the South.

Charlayne Hunter-Gault: But do you have any hope from the young people who have now, after the tragedy in Florida, who have taken to the streets and have taken to the capital, and are saying that they're going to continue? Do you get any hope for them?

Harry Belafonte: Yes, I get great hope from them.

But I have always gotten great hope from young people. It's always young people who are in the forefront. Dr. King was 24, for God's sakes....
