And even in depressed dollars, that was worth at least 50 cents. I looked around on my back porch among some old furniture, and I found a little table and I took it over and gave it to him. That was also worth about 50 cents. That's the first point I want to make. I grew up in the South, as did many of you during the civil rights years and the years even before there was any debate on the subject of discrimination against our neighbors.
Discrimination based on race is terrible.
But I think that worldwide and in this country today, the greatest demonstration of discrimination is the rich against the poor. All of you in this stadium are rich. I'm not talking about bank accounts. A rich person is someone who has a decent home, a modicum of useable education, and access to reasonable health care. Rich people like us feel that the police and the judicial system are on our side and think that if we make a decision, it'll make a difference, at least in our own lives.
