This is Logic I've spoken these words before but not on the radio To be born free is to be born in debt To live in freedom without fighting slavery To profiteer I have met Southerners who expect and fear a Negro insurrection I see no purpose in withholding this from general discussion There may be those within that outcast ten percent of the American people Who someday will strike back at their oppressors But to put down that mob, a mob would riot I'd like to ask, please: who will put down that mob? I'm an overpaid producer with pleasant reasons to rejoice, and I do In the wholesome practicability of the profit system But surely, my right to having more than enough is cancelled If I don't use that more to help those who have less I owe the very profit I make to the people I make it from If this is radicalism, it comes automatically to most of us in show business It being generally agreed that any public man owes his position to the public That's what I mean when I say I'm your obedient servant We must, each day, earn what we own A healthy man owes to the sick all that he can do for them An educated man owes to the ignorant all that he can do for them A free man owes to the world's slaves all that he can do for them And what is to be done is more, much more, than good works Christmas baskets, bonuses and tips, and bread and circuses There is only one thing to be done with slaves Free them If we can't die in behalf of progress, we can live for it Progress, we Americans take to mean, a fuller realization of democracy The measure of progress, as we understand it, is the measure of equality enjoyed by all men We can do something about that The way our fighting brothers and sisters looked at it Some of them dead as I speak these words The way they looked at it, we're lucky And they're right, we're lucky to be alive But only if our lives make life itself worth dying for We must be worthy of our luck or we are damned Our lives were spared, but this is merely the silliest of accidents Unless we put the gift of life to the hard employments of justice If we waste that gift, we won't have anywhere to hide from the indignation of history I want to say this The morality of the auction block is out of date There is no room in the American century for Jim Crow Tomorrow's democracy discriminates against discrimination Its charter won't include the freedom to end freedom Race hate isn't human nature, race hate is the abandonment of human nature
