In many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.

I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person.

When we talk of freedom and opportunity for all nations, the mocking paradoxes in our own society become so clear they can no longer be ignored.

Diversity in the world is a basic characteristic of human society, and also the key condition for a lively and dynamic world as we see today.

I am privileged to be a citizen of the single greatest society in all of human history.
