Many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize
that their destiny is tied up with our destiny.
And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot
walk alone.
It's become popular--and even expedient--for politicians to champion one group's rights
over the other.
Women's rights - Gay rights - Worker's rights - Patients Bill of Rights
The problem is, there's no such thing.
There's no such thing as group rights, only individual rights. That's the simple, basic
truth of the matter. You are born with your rights, and they're yours, yours alone. You
can't give them away, they can't be taken away from you. They are yours until you die,
and not a split second sooner.
2 people, 200 people, 2 million people, the world's population combined cannot have more
rights than one person.
Because when it comes to rights, there is no number greater than one.
