This particular speech is by an American poet. Please make a transcript of only the first minute of the video clip, you can take as long as you want on the minute, but please record how long you took to understand the voice and tell us what caused you the most difficulty.

The video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmWnQzd6x0w

This is the text for the first minute only.

The voice is that of an African American woman. Her introduction (sec 4 - sec 18) is at normal pace. When she begins her poem, her speech quickens

and becomes harder to understand.

I am not familiar with this type of accent so I have made some mistakes. If anyone can correct those, please feel free to do so.

As I write this, I could care less who don't like this
But today it has to be said
No, I'm not your father just a hurtin' black brother that's bothered
sick to death getting rich off us.
we know the streets better than we know our fathers.
30 secs

Can't tell you much about Martin Luther King but we know that right down the  dollar (<em>this sentence is indistinct</em>)

see money became more important than the rope slaves hung from.
now we do a buck to music and tell everybody I'm all one
who got a loud peck
but Who died and made it possible for you to cop dat
You just smile when you order from the drive
you used to have to order from the back
Nigger this, nigger dat , nigger please git your mind to rest.
we see niggers and not brothers
We see hoes and not mothers, hood and not homes
Somebody needs to tell these kids, they are not grown
60 secs.

<em>Notes : </em>

<em>the voice that the person uses during the recitation expresses deep emotion.
</em>

<em>this person tends to say dat for the word that.</em>

<em>Notice that sometimes, she drops the ending g on words -- hurtin instead of hurting.
</em>

<em>the word hoe is a slang word for a promiscuous woman. It is not meant to be nice.
</em>

<em>nigger is a derogatory term, please don't use it, we all need to be nice to our brothers and sisters.
</em>

Is this a poem she wrote about how black people need to unite? If so and if this is the truth there, I can say I agree with her. Actually I don't really understand the entire poem and I don't know why but her voice kind of impressed me a bit. Why do we have to fight when we still have to stand together? I think it's not only about black people but everyone, every society. 

저 분이 어떻게 흑인들이 단결해야 하는지에 대해 쓴 시가 맞나요? 그렇다면, 그리고 그게 그곳의 진실이라면, 전 그녀의 말에 동의해요. 사실 그 시를 다 이해하지도 못하고 왜 그런지도 모르겠지만 그 분의 목소리가 저를 약간 감동 시킨 것 같아요. 우리가 단결해야 할 때 왜 싸워야 하는거죠? 이건 단지 흑인들의 이야기가 아닌 모두의, 모든 사회 집덴에 대한 것 같아요.
