HKonJ :: Rev. William Barber, II Speech [1 of 2] (2/10/07)

LIVE: Reverend William J. Barber, II of the NC NAACP gives the keynote address calling on North Carolina legislators to stand for equality and justice. He points out the regular inconsistencies between legislator rhetoric and votes on the floor calling on them to represent the people rather than the moneyed interests paying for their campaigns. HKonJ (Historic Thousands on Jones Street) was a gathering of several thousand people and sponsoring organizations in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina to tack a new legislative agenda on the People's House, the NC General Assembly on Jones Street. The NC-NAACP acted as host organization and the Reverend Dr. William J. Barber, II gave the keynote address at the Town Hall Meeting prior to kicking off the march to Jones Street. The crowd marched in near silence. More info at www.hkonj.com

All you rascists need to walk a mile in the shoes of any black person in America. As a white person who has lived as a minority it is an eye-opening experience. Most of you would be scared to death to have to live like they do. Get over yourselves.

The Rev. Barber recently hit it out of the park when he called out the current Tea Party as nothing more than a reincarnation of the Dixiecrats of yesteryear. So true, so true.

its a shame how the word reverend is abused nowadays, if there is anyone who doesnt deserve that word next to his name, its william barber.
