-Two f ucking dumb-asses together.-I'm gonna make war.
That's right, man. A race war.
-On who?-On the f ucking n*ggers.
On the f ucking race traitors.On the f ucking everybody.
Why you testing me?
Remy, you ever shot somebody bef ore?
Actually, better yet,you ever shoot a piece of meat?
Seen what bullets do to flesh?
Them f ucking n*ggers out there,them f ucking little monkeys...
...those gangbangers...
...are training every f ucking dayand every night shooting each other.
They're ready f or war.
But are you?
If it all went down today...
...which one of you would havethe balls to shoot a n*gger?
-I would.-You would?

I'm gonna kill communication.This looks suspicious. All right?
For Eurocentric indoctrination...
...is learning in an environmentthat is mostly white.
If the Dred Scott decisionwas retried in a contemporary court...
... the decision would be the same...
...meanina that a black manwould still have no riahts...
... that a white man, by law,would be bound to respect.
The result would be the sameno matter what the law states...
...because it was not written by andfor the benefit of African-Americans.
The credo"And liberty and justice for all"...
...is a falsehood that has been widelyianored and needs to be addressed.
That was great.
