My hope is that out of all the anger and seeming hostility that we hear in some of today’s music will come some sort of coalition that will become politically involved.

Flack frames the anger and confrontational tone she hears in contemporary music not as mere negativity, but as latent civic energy. The quote suggests a belief that cultural expression—especially music that voices frustration—can be redirected into organized, collective action (“some sort of coalition”) with tangible political consequences. Implicit is a long tradition of African American musical activism, where songs register social conditions and can help build solidarity. Rather than condemning hostile lyrics, she hopes they become a catalyst for participation, coalition-building, and engagement with institutions that shape policy.
