Do better. There is where many are focused on, where they feel like it's just an empty and corny oversimplification.
But Sam did tell us more:
We finally have a common struggle now. Think about that. For once all the people who’ve been begging, literally begging, for you to feel how hard any given day is, now you know. How did it feel to be helpless? If you can remember what it’s like to be helpless, and face a force so powerful it could erase half the planet, you would know you are about to have the exact same impact. This isn’t about easy decisions.
I’m a Black man carrying the stars and stripes — what don’t I understand?
Every time I pick this thing up, I know there are millions of people who are going to hate me for it. Even now, here, I feel it. The stares, the judgment, and there’s nothing I can do to change it. Yet I’m still here. No super serum. No blonde hair or blue eyes. The only power I have is that I believe we can do better. We can’t demand that people step up if we don’t meet them halfway. You control the banks! Shit, you can move borders. You can knock down a forest with an email, you can feed a million people with a phone call. But the question is: Who is in the room with you when you make those decisions? Is it the people you’re going to impact or is it just more people like you? I mean, this girl died trying to stop you and no one has stopped for one second to ask why. You have to do better, senator, you’ve got to step up. If you don’t, the next Karli will. You don’t want to see 2.0. People believed in her cause so much, they helped her defy the strongest governments in the world. Why do you think that is?
You people have just as much power as an insane god or a misguided teenager. The question you have to ask yourself is: How are you going to use it?
THIS is what Sam stands for. THIS is what Captain America stands for.
