That's what the law says. 412 00:32:15,113 --> 00:32:18,423 Blacks are slaves, and we own them. That's how things are. 413 00:32:18,633 --> 00:32:22,023 i know I just don't understand. That's all. 414 00:32:22,273 --> 00:32:26,630 Take it this way, Kizzy. It is the natural state of things. 415 00:32:26,833 --> 00:32:30,462 Because they are white smarter than blacks. 416 00:32:30,673 --> 00:32:35,030 Just as men are smarter than women. Everyone knows that. 417 00:32:35,313 --> 00:32:37,672 I mean, did God leave it like that? 418 00:32:37,673 --> 00:32:42,064 Exact.
