@@yvngenchilada1114 I mean the speech even indicated it would take generations.... so 4 years isn't that long. This stuff will take time unfortunately.
I am hearing this for the first time in January, 2021, three days after the presidential inauguration and 75 years after it was delivered. Orson Welles was born in Kenosha, WI in 1915 -- in the same town and two years after my father. Each day we strive still to realize this vision of justice and equity. We make incremental progress and we suffer periodic setbacks. The pride of Kenosha and of the United States. Let us all resolve to live up to this eloquent and heroic vision.
Logic really gave Orson a voice and this speech is so relevant to today. Orson was an outcast in Hollywood and British filmmaking. But, his movies are incredible and I highly recommend at least watching citizen Kane. One of the greatest films of all time.
The man who created one of the most famous movies of all time, completely understood the human condition, and understood being successful came with a greater moral responsibility.
A wonderful piece of history that should be shared widely in our schools. I learned a lot about Orson Welles in film school, but never heard a peep about his political views. Thanks for sharing
Heard this first on logics album. As I would shuffle my playlist and this would come on every now and again I would begin to like it more and more. I would really listen to it and hear and understand stuff that I didn’t before. This was a a true masterpiece. I’m glad it came on today and I decided to look it up to here the full thing. It was absolutely wonderful. As a young guy in the United States I see it is also my duty to continue on the dreams of Mr.Welles and Dr.King. I hope this could be played more often listened to in schools and more, it’s so powerful, it even got me tearing up. It’s really powerful and makes you want to get up and act now, but you don’t want to turn it off because you want to hear more of his wise words. The presentation of this was also excellent. I think this is my favorite speech ever.
This shows if someone tells you they are racist due to the "times" or how they were raised this shows that in 1946 this speech was said tired of those excuses peace love and positivity
So profound. Imagine if we all lived our lives this way with moral indebtedness. Understanding that those who are privileged have a bare minimum duty to uplift those who are not. What a world it would be.
this gave me the feeling of dropping a tear but I always hold them back. but it did. if I wasn't so like this I would of dropped that tear. thanks again for the message. now lets make it true , real, and happened.
This commentary was 70 years ago just mind blowing and enlightening to hear something so powerful in that time frame and should be aired through every election and protest.....Thank you Logic for bringing me here
Looking back at this. This man basically probably put himself out there and his career most likely this was when segregation still was legal and it wouldn't end till 18 years after this speech. This was a man who definitely ahead of his time. Plus everything else that was said is just something we need today. R.I.P Mr. Orsen Welles
I might be late in saying this, but the mere fact that what this man is explaining here, still applies today more than ever. Just highlights the lack of meaningful progress, that nearly 70 years later, the same issues have gotten worse to some degree. Still much work to be done, take heed to this mans words. We are the generation that can and WILL bring change.
"Our children's children are the ancestors of a free people". Well, that was the 40's, and here we are, their children's children. We are the ancestors of a free people. Those words he spoke were not meant for the listeners of his time, they were meant for us. This audial time capsule has a simple message, and as black men across this country are beaten by white cops, just as they were in his day, we have a responsibility and a duty to heed his words. "Be of good heart. The fight is worth it."
Orson Welles acknowledging and using his privilege as a white man, as a wealthy man and as a man with a platform to bring justice where there was none. This was 1946 and yet so many people still do not get it. People in 2020 and beyond should be more like Orson Welles was in 1946.
It’s amazing to me that people think the current world hasn’t been through these issues before. That everything has been perfect since 19XX. Please. Be kind to each other
ive been trying to figure this mans name and what he did since ive heard this on either the old mixtapes or the incredible true story. I forget where i first heard it but finally probably 5-6 years later i find it and find the mans name.
Another opinion some people might not like. Race hate is always wrong in all forms. It doesn't matter the race of the person being hated or race of the person doing the hating. Some people want to change the definition of racism to fit their view. So they can stand by their racism with pride and call it justice but racism by any other name is still just as evil and wrong as it has ever been.
I've been trying to watch some of his non Citizen Kane movies. I recommend The Stranger and Touch of Evil. Both of them touching on very important topics like in this speech.
It'll be okay. He expected us to be fighting this long. We are the generation he was speaking about, which will be ancestors to the free generation. There's a lot of work to still be done, but considering this speech was made in the midst of segregation and the shrinking of native lands, we've made progress. We just can't slow down.
There are more wise words from other people. Don’t hear this just cause of the logic album then go back to your bad habits or something. Learn and change for the better!
Who is here after Logics No Pressure?
why im here
Me 🙋🏻♀️
Same, let's apply this wisdom.
I’m here
i love it
This speech is pure gold and I’m glad Logic is shedding some light in this hidden gem.
This dude was so before his time, a real genius
@Relowh K
@Relowh ok

His words works just as well today as then, in any place in the world we live in
4 years later and ain't nothing change

@@zacharyhewitt4662 tru, I'm jus tryna inspire change and reform y'know. It takes really long for a change to occur, but it shouldn't imo

This is literally the best thing I’ve ever heard, happy this got sampled

"The measure of progress, as we understand it, is the measure of equality enjoyed by all men."
So powerful and damning how accurate it is almost 80 years later. We have much work to do but maybe this can be undone with the new generations

incredible speech, the only thing that hurts. "Tomorrows democracy discriminates against discrimination" I hope his tomorrow will arrive shortly.
Obediently Yours ✊🏾
More important than ever.
this gave me the feeling of dropping a tear but I always hold them back. but it did. if I wasn't so like this I would of dropped that tear. thanks again for the message.
now lets make it true , real, and happened.
I wish I was half as smart as this incredible man.
After watching the documentary 'The Blinding of Isaac Woodard', I learned how great Orson Wells was, not as a movie producer, but as a man.
This commentary was 70 years ago just mind blowing and enlightening to hear something so powerful in that time frame and should be aired through every election and protest.....Thank you Logic for bringing me here
Thank you logic for shedding light onto this guy. He was WAY before his time.
so much of this broadcast is just pure quote heaven
A man with conscious and a true idea of what America is supposed to be as well as what it means to be a human being.
Looking back at this.
This man basically probably put himself out there and his career most likely this was when segregation still was legal and it wouldn't end till 18 years after this speech. This was a man who definitely ahead of his time.
Plus everything else that was said is just something we need today. R.I.P Mr. Orsen Welles
History doesn't necessarily repeat; but it does rhyme...
“Be of good heart. The fight is worth it.” ❤
This is astonishingly relevant to today's society.
One of the most inspiring pieces I've ever heard on radio. No less true than it was 75 years ago.

As we still see niggas getting laid the fuck out and profit isn't as a practice ended, this statement is a call to action.
Wow. This is magnificent!
I wonder if dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ever listened to Orson Welles?
Orson Welles acknowledging and using his privilege as a white man, as a wealthy man and as a man with a platform to bring justice where there was none. This was 1946 and yet so many people still do not get it. People in 2020 and beyond should be more like Orson Welles was in 1946.
TRUTH!!!
The fight is worth it.
Logic will use this
im glad to be fan of good music. i would've known about alan watts and orson welles at a young age. to that i say thank you logic
I want to get this whole speech tattooed on my body
I read this comment and my eyes watered
You have a voice.
I did it, I now have "Be of good heart" tattoed on me forever
@@Annaanna-gb9ji...Be of Good Heart...🐝🌹🌈
After Logic No Pressure!!!!

"I call for action against the cause of riot."
"Our children's children are the ancestors of a free people". Unfortunately it went the other way.
Another opinion some people might not like.
Race hate is always wrong in all forms. It doesn't matter the race of the person being hated or race of the person doing the hating.
Some people want to change the definition of racism to fit their view. So they can stand by their racism with pride and call it justice but racism by any other name is still just as evil and wrong as it has ever been.

The Third Man
I’d most certainly add Chimes at Midnight to any list of Welles recommendations. The man was an absolute hero
Orson welles Outro
thank you for the work! and at 10:11 should it be a "over several generations"?
We have really let Orson down
It'll be okay. He expected us to be fighting this long. We are the generation he was speaking about, which will be ancestors to the free generation. There's a lot of work to still be done, but considering this speech was made in the midst of segregation and the shrinking of native lands, we've made progress. We just can't slow down.
I really thought Logic sampled Alan Watts
A voice, waiting.
Obediently Yours
Logic no pressure
Deep. LoGic , No-Id & whoSampled brought me here.
WHO ELSE IS HERE FROM OBEDIENTLEY YOURS?
Is this one of his commentaries? Most of them are on Spotify but I haven't found this one
I'm here from Sgt. Woodard
❤❤❤❤❤🙏👍
Not a day has changed and we are the poorer for it.

2:20
This is so contemporary....
Chael P Sonnen sounds just like him in his way of words
What if god WAS one of us?
There are more wise words from other people. Don’t hear this just cause of the logic album then go back to your bad habits or something. Learn and change for the better!
It doesn’t really matter💯
I guess this sounded good to Orson at the time.
Psyop. FTM.
