Environmentalism is not an upper-income issue, it's not a white issue, it's not a black issue, it's not a south or a north or an east or a west issue. it's an issue that all of us have a stake in. and if i can do anything to make sure that not just my daughter but every child in america has green pastures to run in and clean air to breathe and clean water to swim in, then that is something i'm going to work my hardest to make happen.

More From Barack Obama

Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. south-south-west, south, south-east, east.

And talking about dark! you think dark is just one color, but it ain't. there're five or six kinds of black. some silky, some woolly. some just empty. some like fingers. and it don't stay still, it moves and changes from one kind of black to another. saying something is pitch black is like saying something is green. what kind of green? green like my bottles? green like a grasshopper? green like a cucumber, lettuce, or green like the sky is just before it breaks loose to storm? well, night black is the same way. may as well be a rainbow.

I am not a republican, nor a democrat, nor an american, and got sense enough to know it. i am one of the 22 million black victims of the democrats, and one of the 22 million black victims of the republicans, and one of the 22 million black victims of americanism... you and i have never seen democracy; all we've seen is hypocracy... if you go to jail, so what? if you're black, you were born in jail. if you're black, you were born in jail, in the north as well as the south. stop talking about the south. long as you south of the canadian border, you're south.

Imagine if you had genuine, high-quality early-childhood education for every child, and suddenly every black child in america - but also every poor white child or latino [child], but just stick with every black child in america - is getting a really good education. and they're graduating from high school at the same rates that whites are, and they are going to college at the same rates that whites are, and they are able to afford college at the same rates because the government has universal programs. so now they're all graduating.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
