Just take the negro child. take the white child. the white child, although it has not committed any of the per - as a person has not committed any of the deeds that has produced the plight that the negro finds himself in, is he guiltless? the only way you can determine that is, take the negro child who's only four-years-old. can he escape, though he's only four years old, can he escape the stigma of discrimination and segregation? he's only four-years-old.

A society that puts equality — in the sense of equality of outcome — ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. the use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests.
