He makes many good points, including:

'To organize from the bottom up is harder than from the top because we get hung up on the little differences, while the 1% agree on their cause: making money.'

You know someone is a fraud because they won't put their ideas up against someone else's in an open debate.

The bit about if you don't like America get out was excellent too.

"If your religion doesn't make you a better person then it has failed you as a religion."

2. HOLEE SHIT
This guy's a MARVEL in his assessment of what's at hand. THIS PERSON would be someone I (a white guy) would vote into a seat of power if elections weren't BOUGHT by special interests. Here's a mind that can comprhend and EXPLAIN the world as it is - and this dissertation on a street corner is as far as his message will go. There's TOO MUCH of the populace that will see his skin and his features and NEVER hear a word he says. Fucking humankind. I'd rather be a simple animal than a part of this "intelligent" species. That way I could live my life honestly.

3. there are at least 3 copies of this on YouTube and this one
has racked up 11,000+ views in less than 24 hours. I think (or hope) the majority of people can listen to at least some of what a person has to say even if they can only see skin colors.

4. Isn't he? I am so amazed at how informed the people are. I thought
most people were asleep, but to hear them, him and everyone who has spoken at their Assemblies articulate so well and so concisely, the reason why there has to be changes made.

No more supporting dictators, so we can keep on stealing their resources! :applause:

Finding ways not to be dependent on fast food and all the other addictions they got everyone hooked on! He was great! I hope he comes back again and again.
