1:32:00
- I have a few, Mr. Chairman.
- [Applause]
1:32:07
I was as moved
by Mr. Fleury's speech as anyone else.
1:32:12
And I agree when he says that the two worlds
cannot exist separate from each other.
1:32:18
The question I would like
to ask Mr. Fleury is this.
1:32:22
Does he think that
the only issue here is one of color?
1:32:27
Is he saying that that is the reason
why we should vote for him?
1:32:31
Is he saying,
"Vote for me because I am one of you"?
1:32:34
Is that what
you're saying, Mr. Fleury?
1:32:38
Because if you are,
I would like to take that issue up...
1:32:41
with your permission, Mr. Chairman.
1:32:46
Mr. Fleury said he has
existed in the two worlds of Santa Marta.
1:32:50
- Which do you think he'll represent?
- I would like to answer that.
1:32:53
- When I'm finished, Mr. Chairman!
- [Crowd Murmuring]
1:32:58
Would Mr. Fleury
also answer this?
1:33:00
You said that you came here tonight
only to speak the truth.
1:33:04
Wouldn't it also be true to say
that the only reason that you seek the election...
1:33:07
is to revenge yourself upon the whites
whom you now think despise you?
1:33:11
That the only reason
that you want to be black...
1:33:14
is because you're afraid that the white world
will not let you be white anymore?
1:33:17
That you want
to use us, our votes...
1:33:20
so that you can still rule
in that world that you still belong to.
1:33:24
And tell us another truth, Mr. Fleury.
1:33:26
In your heart, deep down inside...
1:33:30
don't you still think of us as slaves?
1:33:32
- As a stupid, ignorant people?
- That's a lie!
1:33:34
- [Crowd Murmuring]
- No, Mr. Fleury! That is the truth!
1:33:37
And the issue here is
not just one of color.
1:33:40
The issue here is,
who is really best fit to represent the people?
1:33:44
Who knows them the best?
Who feels for them the most?
1:33:47
Who's really a part of them?
1:33:49
Is it you, Mr. Fleury, or is it me?
1:33:52
Now you may answer, Mr. Fleury.
1:33:54
- [Man] Boyeur.! Boyeur.!
- [Crowd Chanting] Boyeur!
1:33:56
Boyeur! Boyeur!
1:33:58
Boyeur! Boyeur! Boyeur!
