[lesmorosi]

"How can you tell me that it's too much to ask to be a human being?"

[lugcastillo]

This is not anger its frustration in the face of hypocrisy!

[NishkamTheGeneral]

This is how you disagree! No victimhood, no emotional outbursts, just facts and logic. Can’t beat that 💪

[glenroybabb]

This isn't an angry man, this is a passionate man who fought for a country and returned to face discrimination, prejudice and unparalleled levels of racism in the land of his birth.

This is very important for the young black youth to watch these kinds of videos as much as they can to get a real perspective of what our people have been thru and how we got here

[MrMungin]

It's saying something when a Man's pain can still be felt decades later through a platform called YouTube.

Those who disliked this speech probably prefer the Jim Crow era. This speech speaks volumes! Salute!!

[Thekennel]

I’ve watched this a dozen times. I can’t get over the power of this speech.

[taiwo_taiwo]

It’s an amazingly inspirational speech that’s speaks volumes. His name is Akmed Lorence the video was made in New York 1968.

This is one of the most powerful and passionate unknown “speeches” I’ve ever heard. I wish I knew this guy’s name or where this is from.

[LaDominicana]

This is so profound. As a black Hispanic immigrant I am forever grateful for all those who fought before me so that I (we) could have a better life. I wish I could hug this man today and say thank you.

[NJalltheway]

Just found this and I can’t stop listening to the passion in his point. I hear you my friend.

[raeforthepeople]

This is so powerful and relevant even in 2021! One of the best speeches I've ever heard!!! The way he said "you're SICK!" ! I felt that!

[Jadejogsdaily]

I’m Mexican American and this man brought tears to my eyes wow… just so deep :(

[raymakseranash]

NOT ANGRY, BUT THE TRUTH!
NOT ANGRY, BUT INTELLIGENT!
NOT ANGRY, BUT OPPRESSED!

[CrystalSmiles]

I can’t stop watching this! It’s so powerful in its message! How can you stop hearing knowledge!?

[c.fenidecht]

"every man has his limits... What we're asking for is humanity" this is something every human being can afford. 🍻

[BDoNuTs]

This individual is speaking with overwhelming intensity and truth..

[Bionic]

Seeing this for the first time today. I have watched it more than 30 times already. I love the passion of this young man. The honest truth.

[gerrimiller]

I totally agree. Why mislead the world when challenges are trying to hold us back from progress, improvement and success or even food on the table to feed our families. Keep your word not deceive the people
