Black and White Page #4

"...in the debate on race,

it must eliminate bogus categories...

"...like Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongoloid.

"Race must be viewed not as a set

of people defined strictly...

"...and separated each from the other

but rather as a series of colour gradations.

"The blackest black not nearly so close

to the lightest tan...

"...as the lightest tan to the

average normal white.

"This would not only correct

socially destructive forms of bigotry...

"...which result from race-based analysis.

"It would also, quoting Henry Kissinger,

'Have the additional virtue of being true."'

-Well?

-Well what?

Forget it.

-My head is--

-Go on. What?

It's just somewhere else right now.

Wanna talk about it?

Something happened real strange today.

I can't tell anybody.

-Nobody.

-You don't trust me?

I'm listening to a guy

and the way he was coming at me--

I don't understand

what you're talking about.

The guy who approached me

was a gambler.

So what's your point?

He offered me $50,000 to throw the game.

That's the kind of thing Luke used to do

when I was living with him.

He would bribe players.

Why'd you live with someone like that?

-Someone like you?

-What's that supposed to mean?

He paid bribes, you're gonna take a bribe.

What's the difference?

Should I do it or not?

Just be true to yourself.

So, we have no alcohol sponsor,

no liquor sponsor, nothing.

And we're gonna open up a club

in three days?

We do have a sponsor.

Celebrity plus models equals a bash.

It's gonna be sick.

Hook me up.

Get on the phone and check on that.

If you don't stop stressing,

you're gonna die before you're 25.

I want it to be right.

White boys.

Get a f***ing representative up.

-Who's the man in charge?

-Back up.

-Who's in charge?

-I am.

-You in charge?

-Yeah. Scotty.

You here with me?

Everybody shut the f*** up

and let me handle my business!

You white boys came to the hood.

You all some blind motherfuckers

for trying that.

-Ain't this a b*tch.

-Just quit this sh*t.

-You know where you're at?

-Yeah, I know.

I don't think you know. I didn't get

any phone calls from you or your people.

-You know who I am?

-I think so.

I need 75 percent of this joint right here.

75 percent me,

25 percent for you and your guys.

What are we getting for 75 percent?

Who the f*** are you?

I thought he was the f***ing spokesman.

Do you understand?

Turn around and look at him.

You understand what I'm talking about?

I don't want this f***ing sh*t

happening here.

All right.

I don't know. I don't have any money.

It's not my money, it's somebody else's.

Then why did you step up

like you're the man in charge then?

'Cause I didn't know who you were,

I didn't know.

Shut up, all right? Please.

Don't watch my gun.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

-Tell him who your uncle is.

-F*** his uncle!

-Take down his phone number.

-Are you down with the mob?

-You want my number?

-Yeah, your number.

555-2975.

-I'm sorry, man. What was your number?

-555-2975!

White boys, you all got heart.

Tell him Rich Bower.

-Come to the gym tomorrow.

-What gym you talking about?

Where Tyson trains.

You motherfuckers make sure

you get your sh*t right 'cause I'll be back.

Tell the boys to reach out for me.

Scotty, we had nothing to do with that.

What the f*** is going on?

Do you know those guys?

Who are those f***ing guys?

N*gger motherfuckers come in here.

Who the f*** are they?

-So we're on?

-What makes you so sure?

You showed up.

Yeah, I'm here.

-Did you tell anybody about this?

-No.

-Nobody.

-Nobody.

-Not even your girlfriend?

-How do you know I got a girlfriend?

I don't know you have a girlfriend.

I just assume you do.

I mean, you're a young man. You know.

-So did you tell her?

-Why would I tell my girl?

If you do, we're f***ed.

You don't wanna f*** me.

I thought about it, but I think I'll pass on it.

Seriously, you don't wanna f*** me, right?

-You're asking me some strange questions.

-This will be a f*** fest.

Both of us are gonna be f***ed

if you say anything to anybody.

I don't think you wanna do this.

You act like you don't.

So do you want me to say no?

I don't want you to say no,

just what you wanna say.

If you wanna do it, I want you to do it.

If you wanna...

...basically take a lot of money

to fix a game.

I want you to be clear with this.

You're committing a felony.

You're losing a basketball game for money.

I want you to understand

that you're breaking the law.

If you're fine with that, then so am l.

I know what I'm doing.

You got the money or what?

I got the 10. Then you get the 15,

then the 25.

Where is it?

It's in the bathroom.

It's not in the bathroom,

it's in my underwear.

I think we should go

into the bathroom to get it.

I could get it out of my underwear now

but I think we should go in the bathroom.

All right. Let's go in the bathroom

and get your money.

Let's go to the bathroom

and get out my underwear.

This is crazy.

The things we do

to throw a basketball game.

So?

-Don't try no funny stuff, man.

-Funny stuff?.

You look like a pervert or something.

I'm not a pervert.

You are mighty strange.

Will you stop fumbling around

and give me the money?

What is that supposed to mean?

-Bad? Strange? What?

-Take it how you want it.

-How are you?

-Chilling.

Went down there and checked out

that club you told me about.

Glad to be of service.

-What's happening?

-Same old same old. Taking care of sh*t.

Taking care of what?

Nothing, just come from down the street.

Smoke a little weed, see some girls.

-Who's down there?

-Just some girls I saw.

Nothing belonging to me down there?

Four guys, three cows,

two sheep, anything you need.

You got a sick mind.

White boy gets into

some crazy sh*t sometimes.

F***ing D.A.'s psycho son.

This right here is the infamous Will.

Sam Doneger. Nice to meet you.

I'm you're fan, aren't l?

I'm doing a film on your brother.

This is my husband Terry.

She found us

and she's doing this documentary.

Who are these guys?

Will you introduce us?

-No.

-No?

What up?

I'll be over there at the wall.

What's the wall?

The wall is where they're from.

It's where they congregate.

Can we go to the wall? Can we do that?

No, you can't go to the wall.

Don't go to the wall.

We'll go to the wall. It's a free country.

Don't go to the wall.

Don't follow them there. Don't do it.

Why don't you get back downtown?

Let's go to the wall.

Why don't you go downtown?

I'm as much from here as you are.

-Why can't we go to the wall?

-We can go if you wanna go.

-Why has he gotta be so possessive?

-Let's go. Let's go to the wall.

My brother's a pretty cool guy, isn't he?

Are you guys imitating a black culture

or a black lifestyle?

We're not imitating it,

we're influenced by it.

Did you always have that way of speaking?

ls that the way you were brought up?

Whatever. It just happened.

If you moved to London right now,

in two years you'd be talking...
