thing.

The right thing.

My God.

Trey!

My-

What did you do?

No, no I just got here.

I just got here.

Please, wake up!

That's my brother!

What did you do to him?

I didn't do anything! You think

I did this?

Go away. Go away!

Here Trey. He's cold and you're

just standing here.

Here Trey. God.

No! Get off of him! Get off of

him.

Just shut up a minute I got

this!

What are you doing? C'mon Trey

come down. Yeah. Get him down.

Please. Please. Wake up,

Trey.

What did you do to my brother?

What did you do to my brother?

I just got here! I already told

you that! Are you crazy!?

What happened to him? What

happened to my brother?

Tremayne!

God...

Only under extreme circumstances...

only when we're pushed to our

limits...

only when we have so much at

stake...

is our character truly tested.

And how we respond says

everything about who we are.

We argue about right and wrong.

Meanwhile the guilty walk

away unpunished.

Then we say justice is served,

but it doesn't mean that...

injustice didn't happen.

Justice won't be served as long

as the good are silent.

It's always obvious

when you look back on it...

what was right and what was

wrong.

I got the grant. Thirty

thousand dollars. It's a lot of money.

But I'm giving it to a

childrens' home...

in the inner city. It was

supposed to be for you.

I miss you. Dad, I

miss you so much.

I didn't have enough time with

you.

But I'm okay, I'm okay though.

And I know what I did was

wrong...

and I take full responsibility

for it.

From now on, I'm gonna be a

better person.

I'm gonna do good things.

I'm going to make things right

again.

I'm going to make things right

again.

First there was God.

And then there was light.

And then there was Man. And Man

was different.

And then they killed one another

because they were different.

Everybody wants progress.

But if you're on the wrong road...

then progress is the worst

thing to have.

People say that in an ideal world...

you would never notice a

person's color.

But that can only happen after

appreciation.

And appreciation can only come

after acceptance.

We would notice a

splinter in a stranger's eyes...

while overlooking the branch in

our own.

Racism is rooted in violence.

And violence is rooted in

racism.

Once you're able to scare people...

it's easy to control them.

Manipulate them.

Fear rules all.

Woah!

My God!

Call the cops!

Someone call the cops!

What if we just need to stop being afraid?

What if we're all guilty?

What about the violence?

Who's guilty of that?

Stop!
