1
00:00:03,397 --> 00:00:05,297
Oh, uh, right there.
Let's watch "Breakin'."
2
00:00:05,399 --> 00:00:07,066
Uh... "Breakin'"?
3
00:00:07,168 --> 00:00:08,134
Mm-hmm.
4
00:00:08,136 --> 00:00:09,135
- No "G"?
- Nope.
5
00:00:09,137 --> 00:00:10,302
Not for me, playboy.
6
00:00:10,404 --> 00:00:12,237
I've been out of the
"n" -apostrophe game
7
00:00:12,339 --> 00:00:14,173
ever since I got burned on "Trippin'."
8
00:00:14,275 --> 00:00:17,476
This movie has a white
girl with a leotard?
9
00:00:18,031 --> 00:00:19,111
Let me guess...
10
00:00:19,213 --> 00:00:21,180
She finds strength to
save break dancing?
11
00:00:21,182 --> 00:00:22,214
No!
12
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:24,751
She actually saves the Radiotron.
13
00:00:24,852 --> 00:00:28,120
"Push it to pop it! Rock it to lock it!
14
00:00:28,222 --> 00:00:29,255
Break it to make..."
15
00:00:29,257 --> 00:00:30,456
Yo, what is this?
16
00:00:30,558 --> 00:00:31,924
Shut up and sit down!
17
00:00:32,026 --> 00:00:33,058
All of you are heathens!
18
00:00:33,161 --> 00:00:34,760
And don't you dare talk about
"Breakin'"!
19
00:00:34,862 --> 00:00:35,895
It is a classic.
20
00:00:35,997 --> 00:00:37,997
And it features the dance stylings
21
00:00:38,099 --> 00:00:39,799
of Jean-Claude Van Damme.
22
00:00:42,336 --> 00:00:44,659
- Huh.
- Bow, help me out, babe, please.
23
00:00:44,694 --> 00:00:45,771
They're talking about "Breakin'."
24
00:00:45,873 --> 00:00:47,472
Well, I haven't seen it.
25
00:00:47,574 --> 00:00:49,041
What did you just say?
26
00:00:49,143 --> 00:00:50,209
I haven't seen it.
27
00:00:50,311 --> 00:00:52,044
- That's what I thought you just said.
- Yeah.
28
00:00:52,146 --> 00:00:53,178
It's "Breakin'," Bow.
29
00:00:53,181 --> 00:00:54,379
"Breakin'"!
30
00:00:54,481 --> 00:00:57,349
The precursor to "Breakin' 2:
Electric Boogaloo"?!
31
00:00:57,451 --> 00:00:59,218
I haven't. I'm sorry.
32
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,886
You don't have to be sorry
about this, Mom.
33
00:01:00,988 --> 00:01:02,154
Shut up!
34
00:01:02,256 --> 00:01:04,256
- She does need to be sorry.
- Unbelievable.
35
00:01:04,358 --> 00:01:05,891
I swear to God,
36
00:01:05,993 --> 00:01:07,726
it's gonna be me and you, man...
37
00:01:07,828 --> 00:01:08,927
soon.
38
00:01:09,409 --> 00:01:10,429
I feel it.
39
00:01:10,431 --> 00:01:11,797
I do, too.
40
00:01:11,898 --> 00:01:13,565
I do, too.
41
00:01:13,667 --> 00:01:14,666
Okay, okay, okay, okay!
42
00:01:14,668 --> 00:01:16,568
Hey, enough, guys, what's the big deal?
43
00:01:16,670 --> 00:01:18,337
You know I didn't have
movies on the commune.
44
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:19,671
- That totally makes sense.
- Oh, yeah. - That's right.
45
00:01:19,773 --> 00:01:22,374
- No, it's not. Nothing makes sense.
- Yes, it does.
46
00:01:22,476 --> 00:01:25,410
Nothing you ever say about
your childhood makes sense.
47
00:01:25,512 --> 00:01:27,045
You grew up in a cult.
48
00:01:27,899 --> 00:01:29,348
It's amazing I ever met you.
49
00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:32,083
Well, we actually wouldn't have ever met
50
00:01:32,185 --> 00:01:33,918
if the elders hadn't gotten arrested.
51
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:35,019
Hold up. Wait. What?
52
00:01:35,021 --> 00:01:36,921
Well, they didn't get arrested.
53
00:01:37,023 --> 00:01:39,090
They got, um, detained...
54
00:01:39,192 --> 00:01:41,226
for... three to five years.
55
00:01:41,328 --> 00:01:42,527
- What?
- What?
56
00:01:42,629 --> 00:01:44,762
You know what? The documentary
explains it a lot better.
57
00:01:44,864 --> 00:01:45,929
Mnh.
58
00:01:46,031 --> 00:01:48,265
Just came out on Netflix.
You can see it.
59
00:01:49,335 --> 00:01:51,569
How did you ever survive your childhood?
60
00:01:51,671 --> 00:01:54,739
Although my husband
had bad taste in movies,
61
00:01:54,841 --> 00:01:57,541
flattering jean cuts,
and steak temperatures...
62
00:01:57,643 --> 00:02:00,711
and although I'd never
admit this out loud...
63
00:02:00,813 --> 00:02:02,380
his question was fair.
64
00:02:05,685 --> 00:02:09,387
My childhood was anything but normal.
65
00:02:09,489 --> 00:02:12,222
But as not "normal" as it was,
66
00:02:12,324 --> 00:02:14,492
I wouldn't take it back for anything.
67
00:02:14,594 --> 00:02:16,927
Because it made me the woman I am today.
68
00:02:18,196 --> 00:02:20,463
In the summer of 1985,
69
00:02:20,565 --> 00:02:24,233
I was 12 years old,
and my life changed forever.
70
00:02:26,505 --> 00:02:28,405
I, Ronald Reagan, do solemnly swear...
71
00:02:28,507 --> 00:02:30,239
You see, while the rest of the world
72
00:02:30,341 --> 00:02:33,242
was inaugurating Reagan
into his second term
73
00:02:33,344 --> 00:02:36,646
and worrying about AIDS,
famine, and the crack epidemic,
74
00:02:36,748 --> 00:02:39,048
I was living with my
family on a commune.
75
00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:41,083
The problems of the outside world
76
00:02:41,185 --> 00:02:43,219
seemed to be, like, a million miles away
77
00:02:43,321 --> 00:02:45,688
from our hippie, judgment-free utopia
78
00:02:45,791 --> 00:02:47,756
where love ruled all.
79
00:02:47,858 --> 00:02:49,758
We ate together...
80
00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:51,894
prayed together...
81
00:02:51,996 --> 00:02:53,762
and even slept together.
82
00:02:53,864 --> 00:02:56,765
There was no racism, no sexism,
83
00:02:56,867 --> 00:02:59,268
and everyone was truly equal.
84
00:02:59,370 --> 00:03:01,203
If you would've asked me at the time,
85
00:03:01,306 --> 00:03:03,205
I would've told you it was perfect.
86
00:03:04,809 --> 00:03:06,208
But the government would've told you
87
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:07,944
we were a radicalized cult
88
00:03:08,046 --> 00:03:11,914
in violation of over 47 ATF regulations.
89
00:03:16,619 --> 00:03:19,321
If I'm not supposed
to have three wives...
90
00:03:19,423 --> 00:03:24,259
In the summer of 1985,
I was 12 years old,
91
00:03:24,361 --> 00:03:26,428
and my life changed forever.

93
00:03:33,570 --> 00:03:34,902
In what seemed like overnight,
94
00:03:35,005 --> 00:03:37,805
my peaceful little world
had been taken away.
95
00:03:37,907 --> 00:03:40,075
My parents said we were
moving to a new community,
96
00:03:40,177 --> 00:03:41,576
but from what I could see,
97
00:03:41,678 --> 00:03:43,911
there was nothing communal about it.
98
00:03:44,014 --> 00:03:46,181
All I remember seeing was rotund people
99
00:03:46,283 --> 00:03:47,748
hidden behind curtains,
100
00:03:47,851 --> 00:03:50,451
locked away in their
own little brown boxes.
101
00:03:50,552 --> 00:03:53,153
I didn't know what anyone
else's house looked like,
102
00:03:53,255 --> 00:03:55,555
but I remember walking into
my grandpap's rental house
103
00:03:55,657 --> 00:03:56,857
for the first time
104
00:03:56,959 --> 00:03:59,626
and feeling like I was
on a whole other planet.
105
00:03:59,728 --> 00:04:01,561
And I wasn't the only one.
106
00:04:01,663 --> 00:04:04,331
I think my little brother,
Johan, who looked at everything
107
00:04:04,433 --> 00:04:06,566
like one, great, big, magical adventure
108
00:04:06,668 --> 00:04:07,901
- Come on!
- slept next to the toilet
109
00:04:08,004 --> 00:04:09,703
for the first three
months we lived there.
110
00:04:09,805 --> 00:04:11,705
Whoa. Where does it all go?
111
00:04:13,109 --> 00:04:15,342
Bet you it's a portal
to another dimension.
112
00:04:15,444 --> 00:04:17,369
Welp, guess that's settled.
113
00:04:17,404 --> 00:04:18,928
Never using that thing.
114
00:04:18,963 --> 00:04:20,214
I think my little sister, Santamonica,
115
00:04:20,316 --> 00:04:22,548
was around 5 at the time, but even then,
116
00:04:22,650 --> 00:04:24,783
she complained like a woman with no kids
117
00:04:24,886 --> 00:04:26,319
on her third divorce...
118
00:04:26,421 --> 00:04:29,255
which, interestingly enough,
she would eventually become.
119
00:04:29,357 --> 00:04:30,756
Relax, Santi. It's safe.
120
00:04:30,858 --> 00:04:31,924
Then you use it.
121
00:04:32,027 --> 00:04:33,359
I'm going back to diapers.
122
00:04:33,461 --> 00:04:35,561
My gut tells me we're gonna die here.
123
00:04:35,663 --> 00:04:37,863
Calm down. Nobody's dying anywhere.
124
00:04:37,965 --> 00:04:39,399
Oh, so now you know
125
00:04:39,501 --> 00:04:41,767
when and where we're all gonna die?
126
00:04:41,869 --> 00:04:42,968
Come on, kids!
127
00:04:43,071 --> 00:04:45,238
This move was stressing us out.
128
00:04:45,340 --> 00:04:47,740
- We were hoping our parents had some answers.
- All right.
129
00:04:47,842 --> 00:04:49,742
So, uh, kids, no biggie,
but your mother and I,
130
00:04:49,844 --> 00:04:51,677
we just wanted to have a
little informal rap session.
131
00:04:51,779 --> 00:04:52,811
If it's so informal,
132
00:04:52,813 --> 00:04:54,747
then why do you have the talking stick?
133
00:04:55,716 --> 00:04:57,682
Very good question.
134
00:04:57,784 --> 00:04:59,751
But, uh, unfortunately,
I can't answer it,
135
00:04:59,853 --> 00:05:01,853
because you did not
have the talking stick
136
00:05:01,955 --> 00:05:02,987
when you asked.
137
00:05:02,989 --> 00:05:05,557
Dad was the coolest guy I knew.
138
00:05:05,659 --> 00:05:08,193
He met Mom at Berkeley law,
but he dropped out
139
00:05:08,295 --> 00:05:11,263
as a protest against the
glass ceiling of classism.
140
00:05:11,365 --> 00:05:12,764
Okay, I'm gonna jump in here.
141
00:05:12,866 --> 00:05:15,559
Guys, I know this place
might seem different,
142
00:05:15,594 --> 00:05:17,302
but it's gonna be great.
143
00:05:17,337 --> 00:05:19,471
- You'll see.
- Your mother is correct,
144
00:05:19,573 --> 00:05:22,474
even though she's not setting
the best example for stick law.
145
00:05:22,576 --> 00:05:25,910
Mom actually graduated law school,
because, hippie or not,
146
00:05:26,012 --> 00:05:28,046
black people still
needed a backup plan...
147
00:05:28,148 --> 00:05:29,414
especially when you fell in love
148
00:05:29,516 --> 00:05:31,282
with a free spirit like my dad.
149
00:05:31,384 --> 00:05:32,983
So, when are we going back home?
150
00:05:33,086 --> 00:05:34,801
S... You know...
151
00:05:36,322 --> 00:05:38,155
Why... thank you, Paul.
152
00:05:38,955 --> 00:05:42,426
Sweetie, we've actually been
doing some thinking, and...
153
00:05:42,528 --> 00:05:44,295
this is our new home.
154
00:05:44,397 --> 00:05:45,662
- For now.
- What?!
155
00:05:45,764 --> 00:05:46,763
Whoa. Sorry.
156
00:05:46,765 --> 00:05:47,864
For now.
157
00:05:47,866 --> 00:05:49,533
Guys, we'd love
to be able to go back home,
158
00:05:49,635 --> 00:05:51,302
but everything we've
ever loved has burned.
159
00:05:51,404 --> 00:05:52,503
We can rebuild!
160
00:05:52,505 --> 00:05:53,737
I can't use the bathroom here!
161
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,406
Whoa-hoh! Guys, guys, come on!
162
00:05:55,508 --> 00:05:56,740
What kind of people interrupt?
163
00:05:56,842 --> 00:05:58,142
- Fascists.
- Fascists.
164
00:05:58,244 --> 00:05:59,243
Exactly.
165
00:05:59,245 --> 00:06:01,245
Now, I know things might seem scary,
166
00:06:01,347 --> 00:06:02,446
but we're gonna be fine.
167
00:06:02,448 --> 00:06:03,846
And just because we're in a new home,
168
00:06:03,948 --> 00:06:06,282
we're not gonna let
that change who we are.
169
00:06:06,384 --> 00:06:09,018
And we're definitely not
gonna let this idiot box
170
00:06:09,121 --> 00:06:10,920
contaminate us with
the worst of America...
171
00:06:11,022 --> 00:06:12,422
CBS.
172
00:06:12,524 --> 00:06:14,023
And...
173
00:06:14,126 --> 00:06:15,858
we'll keep all the best
parts of our old home...
174
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,429
love, sharing, pescetarianism.
175
00:06:19,531 --> 00:06:20,997
- I do like shrimp.
- See?
176
00:06:21,099 --> 00:06:22,365
If we stay true to who we are,
177
00:06:22,467 --> 00:06:23,899
we'll never even notice we left.
178
00:06:24,708 --> 00:06:25,668
Love circle!
179
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:28,304
Growing up on the commune,
my parents' hippie values
180
00:06:28,406 --> 00:06:30,673
and their optimism were contagious.
181
00:06:30,775 --> 00:06:32,975
But in the real world, no one cares
182
00:06:33,077 --> 00:06:34,210
about any of those things.
183
00:06:34,312 --> 00:06:35,711
And when we got to school,
184
00:06:35,813 --> 00:06:39,015
we got introduced to the
real world real quick.
185
00:06:39,117 --> 00:06:40,215
What's going on?!
186
00:06:40,317 --> 00:06:42,051
I don't know. Just try to keep up.
187
00:06:42,153 --> 00:06:44,053
I'm too little to die!
188
00:06:44,155 --> 00:06:47,757
Back home, the real world was
hitting my parents, as well.
189
00:06:47,859 --> 00:06:49,025
Hey, hippies!
190
00:06:49,127 --> 00:06:51,862
Harrison Jackson III was my grandfather,
191
00:06:51,897 --> 00:06:53,228
but he was also one of the main reasons
192
00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:55,131
my dad moved to the commune.
193
00:06:55,232 --> 00:06:57,633
He was an ambulance-chasing
multi-millionaire owner
194
00:06:57,735 --> 00:06:59,368
of a personal-injury law firm.
195
00:06:59,470 --> 00:07:01,037
He might've voted for Reagan,
196
00:07:01,139 --> 00:07:03,572
but he loved his brown grandkids.
197
00:07:03,675 --> 00:07:06,208
Also, we were living in his
fully furnished rental house.
198
00:07:06,310 --> 00:07:07,710
Brought the kids lacrosse sticks.
199
00:07:07,812 --> 00:07:10,680
Wow. Did you also bring
yacht-club applications?
200
00:07:10,782 --> 00:07:13,182
Look, I don't make the rules,
but yacht clubs are for people
201
00:07:13,284 --> 00:07:15,384
who came here on the top of a ship.
202
00:07:16,353 --> 00:07:17,452
I missed this.
203
00:07:17,454 --> 00:07:20,355
I'm trying to say "Welcome home,"
you two.
204
00:07:20,457 --> 00:07:23,225
I knew that hippie thing
was just a 15-year phase.
205
00:07:23,327 --> 00:07:24,426
Oh, we get it.
206
00:07:24,528 --> 00:07:26,461
You think our time on
the commune was silly.
207
00:07:26,564 --> 00:07:28,430
Oh, no, I don't think it was silly.
208
00:07:28,532 --> 00:07:29,831
I think it was stupid.
209
00:07:29,933 --> 00:07:31,300
Very, very stupid.
210
00:07:31,402 --> 00:07:32,534
Mm-hmm.
211
00:07:32,636 --> 00:07:34,203
Help me understand.
212
00:07:34,305 --> 00:07:36,371
Is it fun to be poor?
213
00:07:36,473 --> 00:07:38,873
Like, when people tell you
how much something costs
214
00:07:38,975 --> 00:07:40,542
and you don't have the money,
215
00:07:40,644 --> 00:07:41,743
is it a rush?
216
00:07:41,845 --> 00:07:43,778
You know, we chose to live off the grid.
217
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,714
And now you chose to live rent-free
218
00:07:45,816 --> 00:07:47,748
in my fully furnished rental.
219
00:07:47,850 --> 00:07:49,584
What a rush that must be.
220
00:07:50,363 --> 00:07:51,586
Tell you what.
221
00:07:51,688 --> 00:07:53,954
Why don't you come work at my firm?
222
00:07:54,056 --> 00:07:56,503
Alicia doesn't need to
take a job at your sty.
223
00:07:56,538 --> 00:07:57,558
No, she's gonna look for a firm
224
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,059
where she can try meaningful cases.
225
00:07:59,161 --> 00:08:00,160
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
226
00:08:00,162 --> 00:08:01,395
And I'm gonna use that greenhouse
227
00:08:01,497 --> 00:08:02,963
- to grow food we can sell.
- Mm.
228
00:08:03,065 --> 00:08:04,097
Great plan.
229
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:07,019
That's exactly how Rockefeller started.
230
00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:09,637
Ooh! I need to get back to the sty.
231
00:08:09,739 --> 00:08:12,840
So, I guess I'm gonna go
jump in my real-world Ferrari
232
00:08:12,942 --> 00:08:15,209
and go make some more real-world money
233
00:08:15,311 --> 00:08:16,877
to pay for this real-world house
234
00:08:16,979 --> 00:08:20,848
that your entire family's
survival is dependent upon.
235
00:08:23,386 --> 00:08:25,285
It was a hard day for all of us.
236
00:08:25,387 --> 00:08:26,754
And that is why I hate guns.
237
00:08:26,856 --> 00:08:27,921
Mm.
238
00:08:29,053 --> 00:08:30,590
But the hardest part about that day
239
00:08:30,692 --> 00:08:32,692
was the first time we
were asked a question
240
00:08:32,795 --> 00:08:35,262
that would follow us for
the rest of our lives.
241
00:08:35,364 --> 00:08:37,197
What are you weirdos mixed with?
242
00:08:39,168 --> 00:08:40,300
What's "mixed"?
243
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:51,794
- You guys think you had a bad day?!
- Since leaving the commune,
244
00:08:51,896 --> 00:08:54,363
my world had been turned upside-down.
245
00:08:54,375 --> 00:08:55,975
But after my first day of school,
246
00:08:56,077 --> 00:08:59,245
I felt like that upside-down
world got lit on fire.
247
00:08:59,346 --> 00:09:00,346
What is "mixed"?
248
00:09:00,347 --> 00:09:01,380
We need to know!
249
00:09:01,382 --> 00:09:02,681
Is it what kills me?!
250
00:09:02,784 --> 00:09:05,216
My parents had sent
us out into the world
251
00:09:05,318 --> 00:09:08,753
with absolutely no warning that
being mixed was even a thing,
252
00:09:08,855 --> 00:09:10,721
let alone how hard it
would be to fit in.
253
00:09:10,824 --> 00:09:12,957
Everyone was laughing at us!
254
00:09:13,059 --> 00:09:15,393
I know the idea of not understanding
255
00:09:15,495 --> 00:09:17,595
what it meant to be mixed sounds crazy,
256
00:09:17,697 --> 00:09:20,865
but you have to understand,
growing up on the commune,
257
00:09:20,967 --> 00:09:22,566
race wasn't a thing.
258
00:09:22,669 --> 00:09:24,936
And also, at the time,
there weren't many of us.
259
00:09:25,038 --> 00:09:28,639
Today's mixed kids can look
up to rappers, ballerinas,
260
00:09:28,741 --> 00:09:31,509
athletes, a president, and a princess.
261
00:09:31,611 --> 00:09:34,279
The only heroes we had were DeBarge.
262
00:09:34,380 --> 00:09:35,746
And do you have any idea
263
00:09:35,849 --> 00:09:38,381
how many more mixed
babies there are today?
264
00:09:38,483 --> 00:09:40,784
Probably because interracial marriage
was illegal
265
00:09:40,886 --> 00:09:43,453
until the Loving Act of 1967.
266
00:09:43,555 --> 00:09:47,124
So, since my parents were one
of the first mixed marriages,
267
00:09:47,226 --> 00:09:50,227
me, Johan, and Santamonica
268
00:09:50,329 --> 00:09:53,297
were basically the beta
testers for biraciality.
269
00:09:53,398 --> 00:09:56,099
As if it wasn't hard enough
being a 12-year-old kid
270
00:09:56,202 --> 00:09:58,135
going to school for the first time,
271
00:09:58,237 --> 00:09:59,569
imagine being the new kid
272
00:09:59,671 --> 00:10:02,306
when no one in the world is like you.
273
00:10:02,407 --> 00:10:04,041
Not even your parents.
274
00:10:04,143 --> 00:10:06,910
So, after Mom and Dad
finally explained to us
275
00:10:07,012 --> 00:10:08,578
that having a white dad and a black mom
276
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:12,148
wasn't necessarily the norm,
it was shocking.
277
00:10:12,250 --> 00:10:13,349
So, wait.
278
00:10:13,451 --> 00:10:16,085
You're saying being
mixed makes us weirdos?
279
00:10:16,187 --> 00:10:17,219
Looks that way.
280
00:10:17,222 --> 00:10:18,520
Definitely feels that way.
281
00:10:18,622 --> 00:10:20,489
No, no, no,
you don't need to worry about
282
00:10:20,591 --> 00:10:22,325
what those kids think.
283
00:10:22,426 --> 00:10:23,926
- They're idiots.
- That's right.
284
00:10:24,028 --> 00:10:25,828
You weren't weirdos on the commune,
285
00:10:25,930 --> 00:10:27,964
and you're not weirdos here.
286
00:10:28,066 --> 00:10:30,833
You need to stop lying
to these children.
287
00:10:30,935 --> 00:10:32,335
Aunt Dee-Dee!
288
00:10:32,436 --> 00:10:34,403
Aunt Dee-Dee was our favorite aunt.
289
00:10:34,505 --> 00:10:36,672
She had the personality of a TSA worker
290
00:10:36,774 --> 00:10:39,708
before they realized what their
personalities were gonna be.
291
00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:40,943
Don't worry, babies.
292
00:10:41,045 --> 00:10:43,112
Auntie Denise is here
to fix all your problems
293
00:10:43,214 --> 00:10:45,381
with new clothes, hot combs,
294
00:10:45,483 --> 00:10:46,815
and hair grease!
295
00:10:46,917 --> 00:10:48,183
Please tell me you're kidding.
296
00:10:48,285 --> 00:10:49,585
No, you please tell me
297
00:10:49,687 --> 00:10:52,788
you didn't send these babies
to school looking like this.
298
00:10:52,890 --> 00:10:54,523
You know this is child abuse.
299
00:10:55,323 --> 00:10:56,658
What's wrong with how we look?
300
00:10:56,761 --> 00:10:59,395
Sweetie, you know Auntie
Dee-Dee loves you very much,
301
00:10:59,497 --> 00:11:01,563
but you look like a runaway house slave.
302
00:11:01,665 --> 00:11:04,466
No! Don't fill my babies'
heads with that nonsense.
303
00:11:04,568 --> 00:11:06,067
Them being black is nonsense?
304
00:11:06,169 --> 00:11:08,737
They're black and white.
Don't try to make them choose sides.
305
00:11:09,283 --> 00:11:10,706
America already chose.
306
00:11:10,808 --> 00:11:12,908
Especially this little one.
307
00:11:13,010 --> 00:11:14,643
She has edges.
308
00:11:14,745 --> 00:11:15,811
You can try to get away with
309
00:11:15,913 --> 00:11:18,814
that "We Are the World,"
"Kumbaya" foolishness
310
00:11:18,916 --> 00:11:21,383
back at your little Jonestown commune,
311
00:11:21,485 --> 00:11:24,953
but the real world is gonna
smack them in the face.
312
00:11:25,055 --> 00:11:26,654
It probably already did.
313
00:11:27,416 --> 00:11:29,824
The world smacked you
in the face today, didn't it?
314
00:11:29,927 --> 00:11:31,192
You can tell me.
315
00:11:31,295 --> 00:11:32,727
It did.
316
00:11:32,829 --> 00:11:34,329
- It really did.
- Mm.
317
00:11:34,431 --> 00:11:36,531
- Okay. Say goodbye to Aunt Denise.
- Ah. Great idea.
318
00:11:36,633 --> 00:11:38,333
- But, Mom, she just got here!
- She just got here! - What? I just got here!
319
00:11:38,435 --> 00:11:39,834
Uh-huh. Go on.
320
00:11:40,525 --> 00:11:41,602
Bye, kids.
321
00:11:41,604 --> 00:11:42,703
See you.
322
00:11:42,705 --> 00:11:45,006
Hey. Hey.
323
00:11:46,343 --> 00:11:47,409
What did I do?
324
00:11:47,510 --> 00:11:50,011
Look, we know you don't
like interracial marriages.
325
00:11:50,113 --> 00:11:52,414
You made that very clear when
you tried to hook my wife up
326
00:11:52,515 --> 00:11:53,915
during your wedding toast.
327
00:11:55,652 --> 00:11:58,519
Okay, I was wrong for that.
That was Dee-Dee's bad.
328
00:11:58,621 --> 00:11:59,786
All I'm saying is
329
00:11:59,888 --> 00:12:02,689
you guys are on a different
level of whiteness.
330
00:12:02,791 --> 00:12:05,792
And don't you think that
maybe we're above race?
331
00:12:05,894 --> 00:12:06,961
Hmm?
332
00:12:07,063 --> 00:12:08,095
See?
333
00:12:08,097 --> 00:12:09,896
That couldn't be a whiter thing to say.
334
00:12:09,999 --> 00:12:11,798
Hey, I'm just trying to help.
335
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:13,800
I'll leave this stuff here for the kids
336
00:12:13,902 --> 00:12:15,602
in case you change your mind.
337
00:12:20,809 --> 00:12:23,444
I can't believe these
people charge for manure!
338
00:12:23,545 --> 00:12:24,744
Is this a bad time?
339
00:12:25,301 --> 00:12:26,313
A little bit, yeah.
340
00:12:26,415 --> 00:12:28,315
Can I get a couple minutes, please?
341
00:12:28,417 --> 00:12:29,425
Of course.
342
00:12:32,588 --> 00:12:33,720
Hmm?
343
00:12:33,822 --> 00:12:35,655
You're not gonna give me
a couple minutes, are you?
344
00:12:37,893 --> 00:12:39,058
Did we make a mistake
345
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,894
by never talking to the kids about race?
346
00:12:40,996 --> 00:12:42,195
Baby.
347
00:12:42,297 --> 00:12:44,263
You're the one who said we
need to teach them how to love
348
00:12:44,366 --> 00:12:45,599
and that would overcome anything,
349
00:12:45,701 --> 00:12:46,900
so that's what we did.
350
00:12:47,002 --> 00:12:49,168
That was when we were in
a bubble on the commune.
351
00:12:49,270 --> 00:12:50,804
This is the real world.
352
00:12:50,906 --> 00:12:52,572
Look at this greenhouse.
353
00:12:52,674 --> 00:12:54,007
I'm gonna make sure it's set up
354
00:12:54,109 --> 00:12:56,109
to give these plants
everything they need.
355
00:12:56,211 --> 00:12:57,477
Just like our house and our kids.
356
00:12:57,579 --> 00:12:58,945
We'll give them everything they need
357
00:12:59,047 --> 00:13:02,281
to take on that world outside
without changing who we are.
358
00:13:02,384 --> 00:13:03,482
Okay?
359
00:13:04,252 --> 00:13:05,284
Okay.
360
00:13:05,387 --> 00:13:08,153
Commune or not,
our values are what got us here.
361
00:13:08,255 --> 00:13:10,122
So, if the kids can survive scabies
362
00:13:10,224 --> 00:13:11,857
and a little bit of famine...
363
00:13:13,528 --> 00:13:15,093
...they can survive the suburbs.
364
00:13:16,130 --> 00:13:18,330
Yes. You're right.
365
00:13:19,834 --> 00:13:21,500
I love you.
366
00:13:21,602 --> 00:13:23,335
Our world was spinning.
367
00:13:23,437 --> 00:13:25,771
Mom and Dad didn't
have any clear answers,
368
00:13:25,873 --> 00:13:28,641
and Aunt Dee-Dee freaked
us out even more.
369
00:13:28,743 --> 00:13:30,843
I had no idea what to think.
370
00:13:30,945 --> 00:13:33,211
But Johan and Santamonica sure did.
371
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:36,048
You heard Aunt Denise.
We need to pick a side.
372
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:37,249
And soon.
373
00:13:37,251 --> 00:13:38,984
What are you guys talking about?
374
00:13:39,086 --> 00:13:40,284
We're not picking sides.
375
00:13:40,386 --> 00:13:42,453
You heard Dad. Those kids are idiots.
376
00:13:42,556 --> 00:13:44,321
You're right. They are idiots.
377
00:13:44,424 --> 00:13:46,123
And I want to be one of them.
378
00:13:46,225 --> 00:13:48,192
I wanna be an idiot so bad!
379
00:13:48,294 --> 00:13:50,662
Well... there's the idiot box...
380
00:13:50,764 --> 00:13:51,829
Guys, stop.
381
00:13:51,932 --> 00:13:53,565
You don't have to do
this just to fit in.
382
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:56,034
I have a...
383
00:13:56,135 --> 00:13:57,735
Che Guevara book and a jump rope.
384
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,336
I will loan you either.

390
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,160
While my siblings
were rotting their minds
391
00:14:24,262 --> 00:14:25,729
trying to find a new way of life,
392
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:29,967
my father was planting seeds,
trying to preserve our old one.
393
00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:33,971
And my mom was somewhere in between.
394
00:14:34,073 --> 00:14:36,707
I did some soul-searching,
and the universe guided me here.
395
00:14:36,809 --> 00:14:38,775
Well, that and... the light bill.
396
00:14:38,877 --> 00:14:41,912
But I looked at other firms,
and I know this is going to be
397
00:14:42,014 --> 00:14:44,347
the best place for me to
do the meaningful work...
398
00:14:44,449 --> 00:14:45,548
What are you wearing?!
399
00:14:45,550 --> 00:14:47,183
Excuse me?
400
00:14:47,285 --> 00:14:50,353
Do you think those clothes are
appropriate for this office?
401
00:14:50,455 --> 00:14:52,388
It's clear you don't think so.
402
00:14:52,491 --> 00:14:54,257
I wouldn't go into your sweat lodge
403
00:14:54,359 --> 00:14:55,825
and put on deodorant.
404
00:14:55,927 --> 00:14:58,328
So I expect the same respect here.
405
00:14:59,225 --> 00:15:00,330
It's... It's terrifying
406
00:15:00,432 --> 00:15:01,464
that you're the sensible one.
407
00:15:01,566 --> 00:15:03,266
Look, Alicia,
408
00:15:03,368 --> 00:15:05,401
Paul is like a son to me.
409
00:15:05,504 --> 00:15:06,736
He is your son.
410
00:15:06,838 --> 00:15:08,471
And I love him like one.
But he doesn't get it.
411
00:15:08,573 --> 00:15:10,573
Now, you... you have the legal chops
412
00:15:10,675 --> 00:15:12,475
to become the son I never had.
413
00:15:12,577 --> 00:15:14,611
Even though you went to
that commie law school.
414
00:15:14,712 --> 00:15:15,811
Berkeley is a top school.
415
00:15:15,813 --> 00:15:16,812
For commies.
416
00:15:16,814 --> 00:15:17,947
Bottom line...
417
00:15:18,049 --> 00:15:19,949
if you want to be able to
take care of your family,
418
00:15:20,018 --> 00:15:22,384
you're gonna have to make some changes.
419
00:15:23,788 --> 00:15:25,688
Ooh!
420
00:15:25,790 --> 00:15:27,289
- You feel that?
- Mnh.
421
00:15:27,391 --> 00:15:28,958
This is why I don't do cocaine.
422
00:15:29,060 --> 00:15:30,459
I am cocaine.
423
00:15:33,064 --> 00:15:34,130
I do cocaine.
424
00:15:36,768 --> 00:15:38,233
Back at the commune,
425
00:15:38,335 --> 00:15:41,570
meals were a time of
harmony and fellowship.
426
00:15:41,672 --> 00:15:43,071
I felt like myself.
427
00:15:43,173 --> 00:15:46,841
I knew who I was and where I belonged.
428
00:15:46,943 --> 00:15:48,910
But I was a long way from the commune,
429
00:15:49,012 --> 00:15:50,745
and I just couldn't bring myself
430
00:15:50,847 --> 00:15:53,614
to go in there and pretend
to be someone I wasn't.
431
00:15:53,717 --> 00:15:55,016
He-e-y!
432
00:15:55,118 --> 00:15:56,551
Hey, hey, hey!
433
00:15:56,653 --> 00:15:58,319
What's happenin'?
434
00:15:58,421 --> 00:16:00,454
What's wrong with you guys?!
You chose races?
435
00:16:00,557 --> 00:16:02,323
Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Rainbow?
436
00:16:02,425 --> 00:16:04,425
I'm talking about what you're wearing.
437
00:16:04,527 --> 00:16:07,195
You watched TV for one night,
and you're dressed like someone else?
438
00:16:07,705 --> 00:16:09,497
What?! You're crazy.
439
00:16:09,599 --> 00:16:11,265
This is who I am.
440
00:16:11,367 --> 00:16:12,667
I'm a B-boy.
441
00:16:12,769 --> 00:16:13,801
Yeah!
442
00:16:13,803 --> 00:16:15,570
And we are living in a material world,
443
00:16:15,672 --> 00:16:18,673
and I am a material girl.
444
00:16:18,774 --> 00:16:20,007
And just like that,
445
00:16:20,109 --> 00:16:23,211
Johan and Santamonica
had cracked the code.
446
00:16:23,313 --> 00:16:25,446
And I knew my problems
could be over, too,
447
00:16:25,548 --> 00:16:26,880
if I had just picked a side,
448
00:16:26,982 --> 00:16:29,684
but... I couldn't.
449
00:16:32,255 --> 00:16:34,222
Seriously, what's wrong with you two?
450
00:16:34,324 --> 00:16:37,391
Race isn't just a costume
you put on and take off!
451
00:16:37,493 --> 00:16:38,526
Okay, but just because you don't...
452
00:16:40,896 --> 00:16:42,396
Whoa! Hey! What's going on?
453
00:16:42,498 --> 00:16:44,331
Why are you guys doing
the Meany screamies?
454
00:16:44,433 --> 00:16:46,666
Because they're changing who
they are to try to fit in.
455
00:16:46,768 --> 00:16:48,868
- Why you dissin' me?
- Wait. So, hold on.
456
00:16:48,970 --> 00:16:50,503
These outfits aren't for,
like, a play or something?
457
00:16:50,606 --> 00:16:52,872
No. They watched the idiot box,
458
00:16:52,974 --> 00:16:54,741
and now this is who they think they are.
459
00:16:54,843 --> 00:16:57,143
Yeah. Don't we look cool?
460
00:16:57,246 --> 00:16:59,846
No. You don't look cool.
461
00:16:59,948 --> 00:17:02,915
We're not a family
who changes to fit in.
462
00:17:03,017 --> 00:17:04,584
That's conformity.
463
00:17:04,686 --> 00:17:06,152
And who conforms?
464
00:17:06,255 --> 00:17:07,820
- Capitalists.
- Capitalists.
465
00:17:07,922 --> 00:17:09,956
- Exactly.
- Hey, guys.
466
00:17:10,764 --> 00:17:12,959
- Mommy!
- Hi, baby.
467
00:17:13,061 --> 00:17:15,695
Mom... are you wearing a bra?
468
00:17:15,797 --> 00:17:17,464
Mm-hmm.
469
00:17:17,566 --> 00:17:19,298
I think she looks fresh.
470
00:17:19,650 --> 00:17:21,066
Thank you.
471
00:17:21,168 --> 00:17:23,769
Mommy decided to take
a job with Grandpa.
472
00:17:23,871 --> 00:17:25,771
Wait. What?
473
00:17:25,873 --> 00:17:28,240
Am I the only one not
trying to be someone else?
474
00:17:28,342 --> 00:17:31,443
How can you say this family's
all about keeping our values
475
00:17:31,545 --> 00:17:33,779
when everyone else is tossing them away?
476
00:17:33,881 --> 00:17:35,113
- Bow...
- Go...
477
00:17:35,215 --> 00:17:37,883
Go. Go with your sister.
478
00:17:37,985 --> 00:17:39,918
That's a great example
you're setting, honey.
479
00:17:49,251 --> 00:17:50,851
Well, one of us had to get a job.
480
00:17:50,953 --> 00:17:52,252
What are you so mad about?
481
00:17:52,354 --> 00:17:54,187
Because it's like you completely gave up
482
00:17:54,289 --> 00:17:55,656
on our old way of life.
483
00:17:56,122 --> 00:17:57,524
Because this place forces people
484
00:17:57,626 --> 00:17:59,125
to be something that they're not.
485
00:17:59,562 --> 00:18:01,161
It's happening to our kids.
It's even happening to you.
486
00:18:01,263 --> 00:18:03,129
Look, we need to support
our family, Paul.
487
00:18:03,231 --> 00:18:05,398
If we're gonna have any
chance of surviving this,
488
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:06,767
we're gonna have to adapt.
489
00:18:06,869 --> 00:18:08,001
We had a plan.
490
00:18:08,103 --> 00:18:09,970
For you to grow us food?
491
00:18:10,072 --> 00:18:11,871
I can't wait six months to eat.
492
00:18:11,973 --> 00:18:15,307
So... maybe that wasn't the...
best plan.
493
00:18:15,409 --> 00:18:18,310
But we promised we wouldn't
let this place change us.
494
00:18:18,412 --> 00:18:20,813
Thinking of you going to
that office in that pantsuit,
495
00:18:20,915 --> 00:18:22,548
it's like my biggest fears come to life.
496
00:18:22,650 --> 00:18:24,951
My wife is becoming my dad.
497
00:18:25,052 --> 00:18:26,819
Look, you don't have to change
498
00:18:26,921 --> 00:18:30,857
because you can be how you
are anywhere in the world.
499
00:18:30,959 --> 00:18:33,693
I can only be the way
that I was on the commune.
500
00:18:33,795 --> 00:18:36,228
Anywhere else, I'm a black woman.
501
00:18:36,330 --> 00:18:39,198
It's different for me,
and it's different for our kids.
502
00:18:47,108 --> 00:18:48,540
What are you doing, sweetheart?
503
00:18:48,642 --> 00:18:49,808
I'm leaving.
504
00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:51,510
Come on, Dad. Come with me.
505
00:18:51,612 --> 00:18:53,345
I heard there's a commune near Waco.
506
00:18:54,781 --> 00:18:56,248
I think I'm holding you back.
507
00:18:56,350 --> 00:18:57,749
What are you talking about?
508
00:18:57,851 --> 00:19:00,285
Well, I've been holding on to a world
509
00:19:00,388 --> 00:19:03,088
the way I want it to be
instead of the way it is.
510
00:19:03,190 --> 00:19:05,224
That's why I've been...
511
00:19:05,326 --> 00:19:07,426
putting so much pressure
on everyone not to change,
512
00:19:07,528 --> 00:19:09,128
but the truth is,
513
00:19:09,230 --> 00:19:12,064
is that everything has to
adapt to its environment.
514
00:19:12,779 --> 00:19:13,832
Even me.
515
00:19:13,934 --> 00:19:17,002
So, then, why didn't you tell
me how hard it was going to be?
516
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:19,271
I should've.
517
00:19:19,373 --> 00:19:22,508
I mean, if I'm being honest,
I knew what this place was like.
518
00:19:22,609 --> 00:19:25,043
You know how many friends your mother
and I lost after we got married?
519
00:19:25,145 --> 00:19:26,511
That's why we left.
520
00:19:26,613 --> 00:19:30,314
But I guess we just didn't want
to burden you with our anger.
521
00:19:30,417 --> 00:19:31,816
Do you know how hard this is?
522
00:19:32,886 --> 00:19:34,986
I feel like if I choose being white,
523
00:19:35,088 --> 00:19:36,254
I'm giving up on Mom,
524
00:19:36,356 --> 00:19:38,757
and if I choose being black,
I'm giving up on you.
525
00:19:40,527 --> 00:19:42,293
What you're going
through is so much harder
526
00:19:42,395 --> 00:19:44,495
than anything your mother
and I had to deal with.
527
00:19:44,598 --> 00:19:48,166
No one's forcing us to
ignore a part of ourselves.
528
00:19:48,268 --> 00:19:50,669
And your father and I would never think
529
00:19:50,771 --> 00:19:52,437
that you were giving up on us.
530
00:19:54,007 --> 00:19:55,006
Ever.
531
00:19:55,008 --> 00:19:57,841
But I don't know what
I'm supposed to do.
532
00:19:59,645 --> 00:20:00,978
I can't tell you.
533
00:20:02,215 --> 00:20:04,882
All I can say is what not to do.
534
00:20:04,984 --> 00:20:07,851
See, I've been hoping that
things were just gonna work out,
535
00:20:07,954 --> 00:20:09,454
but that's not gonna happen.
536
00:20:09,556 --> 00:20:13,057
We have to plan to
adapt the best we can.
537
00:20:14,594 --> 00:20:16,394
I know you're going through a lot,
538
00:20:16,496 --> 00:20:20,731
but you have always been my strong,
fearless warrior,
539
00:20:20,833 --> 00:20:23,067
so I know you'll get through this.
540
00:20:23,169 --> 00:20:24,402
You'll find a way.
541
00:20:25,605 --> 00:20:27,071
We all will.
542
00:20:32,344 --> 00:20:33,744
Dad, when's dinner?
543
00:20:33,846 --> 00:20:35,345
Good food takes time.
544
00:20:35,447 --> 00:20:37,147
Anyone can grill meat.
545
00:20:37,249 --> 00:20:39,316
But to cook a medium-rare mushroom...
546
00:20:39,418 --> 00:20:40,951
that's talent.
547
00:20:41,053 --> 00:20:43,120
Okay, babies, go wash your hands.
548
00:20:43,222 --> 00:20:44,989
I can help with that!
549
00:20:45,091 --> 00:20:46,523
- Guns?
- Oh, relax, hippie.
550
00:20:46,626 --> 00:20:49,359
Water guns are every child's
second amendment right.
551
00:20:51,864 --> 00:20:54,865
In the summer of 1985,
552
00:20:54,967 --> 00:20:56,800
I was 12 years old,
553
00:20:56,902 --> 00:20:59,202
and my life changed forever.
554
00:20:59,304 --> 00:21:01,971
I love the second amendment!
555
00:21:02,073 --> 00:21:03,096
Ooh!
556
00:21:03,307 --> 00:21:05,608
Anybody get my hair wet,
and we fightin'.
557
00:21:05,710 --> 00:21:07,944
And although I couldn't
know it at the time,
558
00:21:08,046 --> 00:21:11,313
it would be the best thing
that ever happened to me.
558
00:21:12,305 --> 00:21:18,591
