There are few points that I would like to express on. The first one is the quote “There is no Negro problem. There is no Southern problem. There is no Northern problem. There is an American problem.” I see that he has singled out the African Americans, but he is not doing in a negative way. To me this quote means to me that there is no one person or one group of people that are at fault, he is saying that all of America is at fault and they need to work on the way they handle things.
The next point I would like to make is because of this quote: “The Constitution says that no person shall be kept from voting because of his race or his color.” This is saying that anyone can vote, but what the people that do the registering make the African Americans either do tests or lie to them. One of the tests that they make them do is recite the entire Constitution or they were asked to explain the most difficult requirements of state law and if they don’t then they cannot register to vote, but if your skin was white then all you have to do is walk up to the register table and just write whatever they want down and then they are off to vote.
The final point I would like to make is from this quote “Your president makes that request of every American.” He is asking for all of the Americans to step it up and try and remove all of their racial thoughts. He also said that the African Americans are the real heroes because they went through everything to get where they were now.
