自私是我们所有奋斗者的权利。对这种自我反省进行抹黑,这就是一种活生生的种族歧视,好像自我意识-怀着各种梦想,实现各种目标,享受各种回报-都成了只赋予谦卑被动,胸无大志而被遗忘之徒。自私作为一种赋予力量的工具,必须予以正名,这样我们大家才能有一天生活在这样一个世界里:那里阶级可以超越种族,那里你的肤色不会影响到你钞票的颜色,或者你沙发套的颜色。我们的自私,让我们有朝一日有机会大公无私。回馈我们之所学,教授我们之所知。缩短那些步我们后尘者的征途。

Selfishness is the right of all of us who struggle, That such introspection is depicted in a negative way is racism in action, as if self-realization—the dreaming of dreams, the achieving of goals, the living out the rewards—is bestowed upon the modest, the unambitious, the passive, the oblivious. Selfishness needs to be reclaimed as a tool for empowerment, so that we might all one day live in a world where class can transcend race, where the color of your skin does not affect the color of your money, or the color of the upholstery on your couch. That we are selfish gives us the opportunity to gain the power so that, in time, we might be selfless. To give back what we have learned.  To teach what we know, and shorten the journey for those who will come after us.
