with your life.
Don't just talk about it.
N*ggers love to talk about
what they gonna do:
"I'm gonna do this."
N*ggers ain't gonna do a thing.
That's why they like Farrakhan.
He ain't no Bible leader.
Who are you to be
dissing Farrakhan?
What have you done? What have you
sacrificed to help lift your people?
Farrakhan has been at the forefront...
...of the struggle to clean up
the black man for 40 years.
What have you done?
You ain't done a goddamn thing.
Love Louis Farrakhan or hate him,
that's your choice.
But if it wasn't for him,
your black ass wouldn't be on this bus.
- You know why?
- Why?
He was the only black leader with
the balls to call for this march.
- You know why?
- Why?
Because as far as so-called
black leaders go...
...Louis Farrakhan is the only
free black man in America.
- You know why?
- Why, n*gger?
Because his only allegiance...
...is to his God, Allah,
and his people.
N*gger, come on. You must admit
the man is self-serving.
Everybody's self-serving
on one level or another.
The fact is, the Nation of Islam
can help thousands.
And put a lot of money in his pocket.
I been to Chicago. I seen his palace.
That home belonged to
the Honourable Elijah Muhammad.
That n*gger the same thing.
You saying people shouldn't
get paid for helping others?
Priests and reverends get paid.
- The president's getting paid.
- Him too.
I'm just saying, one positive thing
about Farrakhan is...
...he don't have that n*gger attitude
like Jesse Jackson.
Here you go begging
for a ride on this bus...
...and you're gonna dis
Farrakhan and Reverend Jackson.
Because of Reverend Jackson:
"I am somebody."
The bus I drive, and I mean this...
...may be for the ugliest brothers
alive, but I am:
Somebody!
Seriously, you know what I'm saying
about n*ggers like Jackson.
They all say the same thing:
"Hire us. Feed us. Affirmative action."
Like we need a nipple in our mouth.
You a Republican?
Yeah, and proud of it.
- Who? "N*gger Gingrich"?
- Got a problem?
How can a black be a Republican?
I don't see how he can't.
- Got that right.
- Oh, here we go again.
Democrats want to keep us powerless,
docile, begging for handouts.
If we have babies without
a plan for their future...
...they say it's okay.
"Take a few more handouts.
Have a few more babies."
A gay, black Republican.
Now I know I've seen everything.
According to my observation,
you haven't seen much.
I told you about riding my ass,
especially without my permission.
- Hey! You gay?
- Yes.
That's okay.
You might be gay...
...but as long as you're
a Republican, you're okay.
We're an endangered species,
just like that owl on the bus.
It's n*ggers like Flip...
N*ggers like Flip?
Wear their suffering on them
like a badge of honour.
You better wake up
and smell the coffee!
Nine times out of 10 your mama's
in the white man's kitchen brewing it.
You leave my mama out of this.
At least she ain't out there
on his doorstep begging...
...like most of you lazy n*ggers.
Don't make me whip your ass.
Are you trying to say...
...that all brothers and sisters
that haven't made it are lazy?
- Yeah, basically.
- Have you ever heard of racism?
Racism is a figment
of the black man's imagination.
Brothers, we are moving
into the next millennium.
The year 2000 is here.
We gotta move into the future.
If I'm lying, how do you
explain Colin Powell?
White man never kept him down!
Colin Powell made it in spite of racism,
not because it doesn't exist, Uncle Tom.
- Say it again, louder.
- Uncle Tom!
You hear that? Just because
we stand on our own two feet...
...and don't sing slave songs,
they call us Uncle Toms.
I have the sense to know racism
and homophobia exist.
So I'm Judas? I'm the enemy
to all the brothers and sisters...
...and n*ggers like O.J.
They the hero, right?
N*ggers are out there singing
in the street, dancing...
...because he was supposed
to be the Second Coming.
How many of you sang and danced?
People weren't celebrating
that he was a hero.
- So you admit he's guilty.
- That's not what he's saying.
The man's saying that whites had been
getting over on blacks for centuries.
Please, n*ggers.
Let there be one voice of reason
amongst all these n*ggers.
Who, Mark Fuhrman?
What about you, old man?
You got an opinion?
Yeah, I got an opinion.
Also, I got a question.
When you use that word that way,
are you talking about you too...
...or just the rest of us?
It seems like
that's the only word you know.
If you were to take that word
and turn it over...
...on the other side,
you would find kings and queens.
Sorry, Pops.
"If it don't fit, you must acquit."
Why are you going to the march?
N*ggers and cars.
N*ggers need cars
like cars need n*ggers.
I gotta make me some money.
Think I'd miss all that networking?
Sh*t, n*gger, you must be crazy.
I got a joke for you.
What do you get when you
cross a million lesbians...
...and the Million Man March?
What do you get when you
cross 1 million lesbians...
...and the Million Man March?
Two million motherfuckers
who don't do dick.
You n*ggers are something else.
N*gger, n*gger, n*gger, n*gger.
All you n*ggers.
- Hey, Wendell, I got a joke for you.
- All right.
What do they call a black man
with a Lexus dealership?
- What?
- N*gger!
Don't lose it!
N*gger need coat
like coat need n*gger!
Back on the road
And we're DC bound
Back on the road
And we're DC bound
Go, Pop. Go, Pop!
I might have been lost
But I done got found
I might've been lost
But now I'm found
I might've been lost
But now I'm found
I say that this Monday
Shall be so profound
See, sometimes in the village...
...drums would be talking
all night long.
Like this. And you have...
...a heavier sound up here, right?
And a lighter sound here.
And you have to get them both in.
And give yourself an easy rhythm.
Like that. Steady and hold it.
Show me what you can do with that.
- Here's the deep sound.
- Right.
- The high sound.
- Right.
Okay.
One, two, three, four.
No.
No, young blood. Your hands
are too flat, like a pancake.
You have to loosen up your wrists.
Don't beat it.
- Make love to it, you know?
- Make love to it.
- Make love to the drum.
- Like Cathy.
Yeah! Like Cathy.
That's right. Easy does it.
- Slow. Easy. Steady.
- Slow and easy.
Yes, sir.
There you go. There you go.
- Like this?
- Yeah.
That would last you all night long.
I'm sorry I outed you like that.
It's just whenever I think about
you leaving, I get panicked.
You could've handled it better.
I don't think you want me
to let you go.
- Let's not talk about it.
- Fine.
Change the subject.
Let's talk about happier times.
What about the first time we met?
When I rocked your world?
I think it was the other way around.
No, I remember it vividly.
I gave you a hot bath.
I scrubbed every inch of your body.
When you got out of the shower,
I rubbed oil on your feet.
