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!
1:34:02
David Boyeur!
1:34:05
[Crowd Shouting]
1:34:12
Boyeur! Boyeur! Boyeur!
1:34:18
[Woman Laughing]
1:34:26
He's right!
I'm not one of you!

1:34:28
I don't belong to you!
1:34:30
I don't want to be one of you!
I never did!

1:34:59
All right, friends.
The meeting's over. Let's go home.
