Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:03,503
Chinese people helped
build the railroads
2
00:00:03,503 --> 00:00:05,380
a long time ago.
3
00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:09,635
Today, Chinese people are famous
mostly for Chinese restaurants,
4
00:00:09,635 --> 00:00:11,803
where they cook
many fine things like
5
00:00:11,803 --> 00:00:16,183
egg rolls, chop suey
and shrimp fried rice.
6
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:19,645
Chinese people are also
very good fighters.
7
00:00:19,645 --> 00:00:24,900
Many people who aren't even
Chinese say Bruce Lee
is the best fighter
8
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:27,861
even though he is dead. The end.
9
00:00:27,861 --> 00:00:29,988
That was very good, Wanda.
Thank you.
10
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:33,408
[applause]
11
00:00:33,408 --> 00:00:38,872
We are really learning a lot
about all the different kinds
of people who make up America.
12
00:00:38,872 --> 00:00:40,499
Zachary, would you like to
go next?
13
00:00:49,508 --> 00:00:51,343
The title of my essay is,
14
00:00:51,343 --> 00:00:54,888
"Why White kids should help
Black kids?"
15
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:57,808
White children should
help Black ones.
16
00:00:57,808 --> 00:00:59,935
If you look at the statistics,
17
00:00:59,935 --> 00:01:05,315
you will see that the average
White 13âyearâold scores
20 points higher
18
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:09,736
on the standard reading test
than the average
Black 13âyearâolds.
19
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:11,238
[indistinct chatter]
20
00:01:11,238 --> 00:01:14,116
Other students
take the SAT tests.
21
00:01:14,116 --> 00:01:17,911
And the average Black kid
scores 95 points lower...
22
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:19,538
âWhat the heck?
â...on the word part.
23
00:01:19,538 --> 00:01:22,165
And a hundred and five points
lower on the math part.
24
00:01:22,165 --> 00:01:24,209
Zachary, where did these
numbers come from?
25
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:28,797
The Educational Testing Service.
26
00:01:28,797 --> 00:01:31,341
The National Center for
Education Statistics.
27
00:01:31,341 --> 00:01:35,721
And you think this report
is in the spirit of the
multicultural awareness day?
28
00:01:35,721 --> 00:01:38,557
Well, I thought we should help.
29
00:01:38,557 --> 00:01:41,268
âWhat's he talking about?
â[Winslow] Settle down,
everybody.
30
00:01:42,352 --> 00:01:44,271
Now, you listen to me.
31
00:01:44,271 --> 00:01:47,399
Black people aren't any less
smart than White people.
32
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:49,776
Yes, they are, Ms. Winslow,
and I found out why.
33
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:52,195
âOh, you found out why?
âMmâhmm.
34
00:01:52,195 --> 00:01:54,823
Their brains are smaller
and they think about sex
all the time.
35
00:01:54,823 --> 00:01:57,242
âI looked it up.
â[Winslow] All right, Zachary,
you're coming with me.
36
00:01:57,242 --> 00:02:00,495
â[indistinct yelling]
âAll right, everybody,
take your seats.
37
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:01,955
Take your seats
and sit down now.
38
00:02:03,457 --> 00:02:05,334
[theme music playing]
39
00:03:01,473 --> 00:03:03,266
[theme music ends]
40
00:03:09,147 --> 00:03:11,858
Smaller brains and obsessed
with sex.
41
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:14,444
âWhere did he pick something
like that up?
âShow me the report.
42
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:17,656
He's made a mockery of
multicultural awareness day.
43
00:03:17,656 --> 00:03:20,409
Here I am trying to make it
work, trying to make these
44
00:03:20,409 --> 00:03:22,619
kids see the beauty
of the American Mosaic.
45
00:03:22,619 --> 00:03:25,831
Jimmy and I do not tolerate
bigotry of any kind
in our house.
46
00:03:25,831 --> 00:03:27,999
We teach our children
to respect all people.
47
00:03:27,999 --> 00:03:30,627
I have to spend next
seven months with these kids,
what am I gonna do now?
48
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,296
My God, I can't believe
he wrote this.
49
00:03:33,296 --> 00:03:37,384
Well, he's gotta do the paper
again if he wants to pass
the assignment.
50
00:03:37,384 --> 00:03:40,137
The problem is much worse
than that.
51
00:03:40,137 --> 00:03:43,014
I'm afraid I have no recourse,
52
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:44,474
but to suspend the boy.
53
00:03:44,474 --> 00:03:45,600
What?
54
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,311
That is out and out hate speech.
55
00:03:48,311 --> 00:03:51,898
Anybody who would preach
those things is absolutely
poisonous
56
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:54,818
to a good learning environment,
especially now.
57
00:03:54,818 --> 00:03:57,821
âMichael, let me talk to Zack.
â[Oslo] By all means.
58
00:03:57,821 --> 00:04:00,240
Talk to him. You have to.
59
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,867
But for now, he's suspended.
60
00:04:05,662 --> 00:04:08,874
Well, I... I really don't have
the facts so I can't comment.
61
00:04:08,874 --> 00:04:13,044
But... if the son of our
temporary mayor and our sheriff
62
00:04:13,044 --> 00:04:16,548
is spewing out Black hatred,
we all have to be concerned.
63
00:04:16,548 --> 00:04:19,009
Makes me wonder about
the parents.
64
00:04:19,009 --> 00:04:21,344
But again, I can't comment
without the facts.
65
00:04:21,344 --> 00:04:23,138
Do you think it will be
an issue in the election?
66
00:04:23,138 --> 00:04:24,931
Well, if the people in Rome
are
67
00:04:24,931 --> 00:04:26,475
sensitive to racial prejudice,
68
00:04:26,475 --> 00:04:28,602
yes, I'm sure it will be
an issue.
69
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:30,896
But I gotta go now,
I got mail to deliver.
70
00:04:30,896 --> 00:04:33,356
This isn't Chicago, you know.
71
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:34,441
[Jill] Ugh!
72
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:39,654
[sighs] What do I do?
73
00:04:39,654 --> 00:04:42,866
First, talk to Zack.
I'll convene the school
committee.
74
00:04:42,866 --> 00:04:45,076
But what about my response?
It's already on public access.
75
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:46,828
You condemn what Zack said.
76
00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:48,663
People can't blame you,
you're just his mother.
77
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:51,583
Yeah, right.
I'm just his mother.
78
00:04:53,043 --> 00:04:56,254
[indistinct chatter]
79
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:01,426
What up, man,
what's going on?
80
00:05:02,803 --> 00:05:04,387
Y'all got the cash?
81
00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:06,014
First, you got what we came for?
82
00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,184
âFifteen each.
âAll right.
83
00:05:11,353 --> 00:05:12,479
Come on, man.
84
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:15,607
So, what...
85
00:05:15,607 --> 00:05:18,109
Oh, yo, you got the mad
toe boots.
86
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:20,779
Matty, yo, we need to get
something like that.
87
00:05:20,779 --> 00:05:22,072
Yeah, right, shorty.
88
00:05:22,072 --> 00:05:25,408
Check out them tips, yo.
89
00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:28,411
Here you go, man.
Straight out of Green Bay.
90
00:05:31,581 --> 00:05:32,916
Cool!
91
00:05:32,916 --> 00:05:34,084
Ooh!
92
00:05:34,084 --> 00:05:35,627
[Matthew] Gotta get back
to school.
93
00:05:35,627 --> 00:05:37,963
All right, man. Word.
94
00:05:42,050 --> 00:05:44,886
Overall, I'm disappointed.
95
00:05:44,886 --> 00:05:47,180
But we've got a lot of
ground to cover.
96
00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:51,226
â[boy] Oh, man.
âI don't have to back up
and go over old material.
97
00:05:51,226 --> 00:05:52,978
But if I have to, I will.
98
00:05:54,646 --> 00:05:57,482
Now, on a positive note...
99
00:05:57,482 --> 00:05:59,109
the best paper in the class
came from
100
00:05:59,109 --> 00:06:01,486
one of our newcomers...
Aiesha Campbell.
101
00:06:01,486 --> 00:06:04,281
In fact, she demonstrates
such a, uh,
102
00:06:04,281 --> 00:06:08,326
grasp of the information
and for subtlety with language.
103
00:06:08,326 --> 00:06:10,370
It might do us all some good
if she would read it for us.
104
00:06:12,122 --> 00:06:14,082
Ms. Campbell.
105
00:06:14,082 --> 00:06:16,084
Ms. Goody.
106
00:06:16,084 --> 00:06:18,336
[Jason] Would you please,
uh, come up and read your paper
for us?
107
00:06:20,088 --> 00:06:22,090
I'd rather not.
108
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:25,260
One of these days, we're gonna
have to break you
of that shyness.
109
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:28,889
But take my word for it, people,
she wrote a terrific paper.
110
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:32,559
Actually, maybe we can
figure out a way that you can
tutor other Green Bay students.
111
00:06:32,559 --> 00:06:34,728
[boy clears throat]
112
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:38,023
âMr. Steinberg.
âMalik.
113
00:06:38,023 --> 00:06:41,818
You so unhappy with us,
why don't you try teaching us
some real world history?
114
00:06:41,818 --> 00:06:44,321
Oh... like what, Malik?
115
00:06:44,321 --> 00:06:46,072
Well, like, how...
116
00:06:46,072 --> 00:06:48,283
Caucasians are the most
aggressive race on Earth
117
00:06:48,283 --> 00:06:52,412
because of how they adapted
during the last
Ice Age in Europe?
118
00:06:52,412 --> 00:06:54,122
That's crap.
119
00:06:54,122 --> 00:06:56,166
Oh, you think so, huh?
120
00:06:56,166 --> 00:06:59,669
And, uh, where did you acquire
that piece of analysis, Malik?
121
00:06:59,669 --> 00:07:02,505
A book called
The Ice Man Inheritance.
122
00:07:02,505 --> 00:07:04,841
See, I just don't read
what you teachers tell me to.
123
00:07:04,841 --> 00:07:06,176
Who wrote that? Farah Khan?
124
00:07:06,176 --> 00:07:08,219
Oh, you know nothing about it.
125
00:07:08,219 --> 00:07:09,679
I read about it before
they sent you guys.
126
00:07:09,679 --> 00:07:10,764
They wanna teach that crap
in school.
127
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:12,057
Quiet. Quiet down!
128
00:07:14,351 --> 00:07:16,311
Do yourself a favor, Malik,
129
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:18,647
spend less time thinking about
the Ice Age
130
00:07:18,647 --> 00:07:22,817
and more thinking about
how you're going to
adapt to an "F" in this class.
131
00:07:22,817 --> 00:07:24,903
Anything you say.
132
00:07:24,903 --> 00:07:26,279
You're the teacher.
133
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:36,081
You don't wanna do well?
134
00:07:36,081 --> 00:07:39,501
I didn't say that.
I said I wanted to look like
I don't wanna do well.
135
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:41,920
Why?
136
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:47,759
Look, it doesn't really matter,
all right?
137
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:51,680
Why?
138
00:07:53,348 --> 00:07:56,267
[sighs] You wanna be
liked, Kimberly?
139
00:07:58,978 --> 00:08:00,397
Well, me, too.
140
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,944
So if you do well in school,
you won't be liked?
141
00:08:11,366 --> 00:08:15,203
One day we get the news that
some judge wants to send us
to, uh...
142
00:08:15,203 --> 00:08:16,913
school in some new town.
143
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:19,999
Then we hear that...
144
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:24,003
everyone in this town is doing
everything to keep us from
coming in.
145
00:08:24,003 --> 00:08:28,550
I mean, they even sent cops
with guns to try and stop
the buses.
146
00:08:28,550 --> 00:08:32,429
Then we're supposed to try
and do well to please them?
147
00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:34,597
Those same teachers
who didn't even want us?
148
00:08:34,597 --> 00:08:37,976
We're supposed to work hard
to make them feel like
good teachers?
149
00:08:40,103 --> 00:08:42,814
It wasn't anything personal
against you.
150
00:08:42,814 --> 00:08:46,359
Yeah, well, when a gun is
pointed at your head,
you take it personal.
151
00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:51,531
So when my friends see me...
152
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,950
trying to succeed in this...
153
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:57,954
Look, Kimberly, trust me.
154
00:08:59,497 --> 00:09:02,333
I wanna get good grades, okay?
155
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:06,046
And I'd love to get
a scholarship and go to college.
156
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:08,673
But I gotta ride that bus
every day.
157
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:16,473
The children, they are the main
issue in this election.
158
00:09:16,473 --> 00:09:17,974
They're caught in the middle.
159
00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:20,226
I don't disagree
and I'm trying, but...
160
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,353
Try harder, endorse me
for mayor.
161
00:09:22,353 --> 00:09:24,272
Oh, Carter.
162
00:09:24,272 --> 00:09:27,317
What if Ed Lawson wins?
You think about that?
163
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:29,194
You have an influence, John.
164
00:09:29,194 --> 00:09:32,822
Carter, endorsing you
is a waste. You can't win.
165
00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:34,574
I can win!
166
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:37,077
If I could just get people
to allow for it. I can.
167
00:09:39,496 --> 00:09:41,915
Jill Brock tried to block
those buses.
168
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,750
Yes, I know that.
169
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:46,294
So how can you support her?
170
00:09:46,294 --> 00:09:49,297
I can support her
as a lesser evil than Ed Lawson.
171
00:09:49,297 --> 00:09:51,216
Are you sure about that?
172
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:54,385
Ed Lawson, you can see it
coming, it's clear what he is
about.
173
00:09:54,385 --> 00:10:00,266
Jill Brock, she's perceived as
liberal, enlightened.
She could be more dangerous.
174
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,227
Jill Brock's influence
is at work right now,
175
00:10:02,227 --> 00:10:04,312
go down to the schools,
check things out.
176
00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:09,359
Who put these things
in your head?
177
00:10:09,359 --> 00:10:11,277
Nobody.
178
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:15,406
Then where did you get these
ideas about Black people?
179
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:18,201
Well...
For us tenâyearâolds,
the busedâin kids
180
00:10:18,201 --> 00:10:20,620
don't do as well in class as us.
181
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:22,288
And they're all Black.
182
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:24,332
Then I looked at the statistics.
183
00:10:24,332 --> 00:10:26,459
But what about everything
we taught you?
184
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:29,003
You know how we feel about
prejudice.
185
00:10:29,003 --> 00:10:30,922
You went to jail because of it.
186
00:10:30,922 --> 00:10:34,467
No. Now, that was a little bit
more complicated.
187
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:39,722
Have we ever suggested
to you that one race of people
is better than another?
188
00:10:39,722 --> 00:10:40,890
No.
189
00:10:40,890 --> 00:10:42,600
Then where did this come from?
190
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,271
All the stuff about
the brain size and sex?
191
00:10:46,271 --> 00:10:47,856
Where did you get that?
192
00:10:47,856 --> 00:10:49,649
The encyclopedia.
193
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,693
What?
194
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:53,403
The Encyclopedia Britannica.
195
00:10:56,072 --> 00:10:58,867
"Mentally, the Negro is inferior
to the White.
196
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:03,079
The growth of the brain
is arrested by the premature
closing of the cranial sutures."
197
00:11:03,079 --> 00:11:04,664
I never knew that was in there.
198
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:07,375
"After puberty sexual matters
take the first place
199
00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:10,920
in the Negro's
life and thoughts."
The Encyclopedia Britannica.
200
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,840
The 1911 edition.
But we have updated versions
201
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,758
without this information.
We must.
202
00:11:15,758 --> 00:11:18,011
Why is this edition
in the library at all?
203
00:11:18,011 --> 00:11:20,471
Well, it's actually a classic.
204
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:23,474
Oh, I don't care about that.
It contains harmful information.
205
00:11:23,474 --> 00:11:25,059
âYou should take these booksââ
âReally?
206
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:27,270
I mean, this is one of our most
valuable assets.
207
00:11:27,270 --> 00:11:29,647
It contains racial material.
208
00:11:29,647 --> 00:11:31,316
I know, but...
209
00:11:31,316 --> 00:11:32,942
Well, what about Huck Finn?
210
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:35,403
The word "nigger" is all over
that book.
211
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:38,281
Mark Twain's books are filled
with racist material.
212
00:11:38,281 --> 00:11:39,949
This isn't Mark Twain.
213
00:11:39,949 --> 00:11:43,703
Jill, this is a classic edition.
214
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,997
Museums would kill
for this set.
215
00:11:45,997 --> 00:11:47,540
I don't think we should just
throw it out.
216
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:50,543
Get this encyclopedia
out of this library.
217
00:11:54,464 --> 00:11:57,759
You know, if I had read that
paper today...
218
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,719
I won't even think. I mean...
219
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:01,971
it was bad enough being smart
in an allâBlack school
220
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:03,681
but if I get good grades here...
221
00:12:03,681 --> 00:12:05,767
[Marcus] Hey, brainiac.
222
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:08,436
You're gonna find time
to start tutoring us
ignorant Negroes?
223
00:12:08,436 --> 00:12:10,772
Do you see? Do you see?
224
00:12:10,772 --> 00:12:12,732
You get punished
for being smart?
225
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:17,028
âJust forget it.
â[Marcus] Hey, Aeisha.
226
00:12:17,028 --> 00:12:19,948
âGet your Black ass on the bus
where you belong.
âCome on, babe.
227
00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:23,284
[Malik] You've been hanging out
with that White girl
all day long, sister.
228
00:12:23,284 --> 00:12:25,536
It still ain't gonna
make you White.
229
00:12:25,536 --> 00:12:27,664
Maybe you should get your
Black ass on the bus.
230
00:12:27,664 --> 00:12:30,375
â[boy] Busted.
âMalik.
231
00:12:30,375 --> 00:12:32,460
Maybe you should just
leave her alone.
232
00:12:34,003 --> 00:12:35,505
[boy] Get on the bus, man.
233
00:12:53,064 --> 00:12:55,525
[bus engine whirring]
234
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:09,455
Pulling us out of class,
we're missing important
education.
235
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,833
Look, I pulled you out
of class because I, uh...
236
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:14,794
I wanted to apologize about
what I said yesterday
237
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:16,796
at the bus stop...
238
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:18,798
to you.
239
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:21,092
I'm District Attorney
John Littleton.
240
00:13:29,267 --> 00:13:33,438
Look, what I saw at the bus stop
yesterday, it brought out
the worst in me.
241
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:36,691
Okay? I haven't been able
to let that go.
242
00:13:36,691 --> 00:13:39,319
I wanna know why you were
giving this young woman
such a hard time.
243
00:13:40,903 --> 00:13:43,322
I was just joking around
with her.
244
00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:45,074
We joke like that.
245
00:13:45,074 --> 00:13:47,285
Well, do you have a problem
with her getting good grades?
246
00:13:47,285 --> 00:13:50,329
I got a problem with her
thinking she's better
than everybody.
247
00:13:50,329 --> 00:13:51,789
Tryna act White.
248
00:13:51,789 --> 00:13:55,585
What's acting White, Marcus?
Studying?
249
00:13:55,585 --> 00:13:57,086
See, man, you don't know her.
250
00:13:57,086 --> 00:13:59,047
All you know is them grades.
251
00:13:59,047 --> 00:14:01,215
She's always been like this.
252
00:14:01,215 --> 00:14:03,092
Don't hang out
in the neighborhood,
253
00:14:03,092 --> 00:14:04,719
stay at home all the time.
254
00:14:04,719 --> 00:14:07,430
Then Bam...
they send us over here,
255
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:09,432
she start hanging around
them White girls.
256
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:11,267
[Aiesha] Well, I've got
Black friends, Marcus.
257
00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:14,645
They just don't spend six hours
in a day on a basketball court.
258
00:14:14,645 --> 00:14:18,274
[Littleton] Where did this idea
get started that if you do
well in school
259
00:14:18,274 --> 00:14:20,818
or if you have White friends
that that makes you less Black?
260
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:24,447
If she makes friends,
261
00:14:24,447 --> 00:14:27,700
if she gets good grades,
that helps her.
262
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:29,452
That might help you, too.
263
00:14:29,452 --> 00:14:33,831
Oh, so if we try and impress
these people or this community,
264
00:14:33,831 --> 00:14:35,750
they'll accept us
that much quicker, huh?
265
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:39,003
And that's supposed to be good?
266
00:14:39,003 --> 00:14:41,255
Look, man, this school
was designed by White people,
267
00:14:41,255 --> 00:14:43,633
run by White people
for White people,
268
00:14:43,633 --> 00:14:46,928
with nothing whatsoever to do
with our African reality.
269
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:50,598
So why should we care
if we are accepted here?
270
00:14:50,598 --> 00:14:54,227
What they call it, um...
Mainstream.
271
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:56,229
You've been mainstreamed,
Mr. D. A.?
272
00:14:58,189 --> 00:15:00,358
Maybe we don't wanna be
mainstream.
273
00:15:00,358 --> 00:15:02,527
Did anybody in this town
ever think about that?
274
00:15:03,778 --> 00:15:05,321
Did you ever think about that?
275
00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:14,455
Okay. I got you reinstated
but only because that stuff
came from an older encyclopedia.
276
00:15:14,455 --> 00:15:17,792
You understand how wrong
that information was you put
in your report?
277
00:15:17,792 --> 00:15:20,878
âYes.
âDo you understand why?
278
00:15:20,878 --> 00:15:23,297
âBecause I got expelled.
âNo.
279
00:15:23,297 --> 00:15:24,549
No!
280
00:15:24,549 --> 00:15:27,135
It's wrong because it's wrong.
281
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:30,805
No race of people is superior
to another.
282
00:15:30,805 --> 00:15:33,307
What about Iranians?
283
00:15:33,307 --> 00:15:35,852
Hi, John, what are you
doing here?
284
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:38,688
I wondered if I could speak
to you for a second. Alone.
285
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:41,816
Oh, sure. Zack, you remember
Mr. Littleton.
286
00:15:41,816 --> 00:15:43,484
Yes.
287
00:15:43,484 --> 00:15:44,819
He's an exception.
288
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:49,991
[Jill] You wait right here,
honey.
289
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:52,785
Jill, do you have any idea
as to situations going on
at the high school?
290
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:55,329
Oh, of course, I do.
It's what we were all afraid of.
291
00:15:55,329 --> 00:15:58,916
And how do you plan to
address it? Simply with
cops on the corridors?
292
00:15:58,916 --> 00:16:00,501
I don't like your tone.
293
00:16:00,501 --> 00:16:02,670
I don't care.
294
00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:05,173
If things do explode,
I don't want people
running around
295
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:07,425
bragging about
how right they were.
296
00:16:07,425 --> 00:16:09,760
I don't want them putting
the trouble off on the Black
students
297
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,929
when they should be pointing
the fingers at the mayor.
298
00:16:11,929 --> 00:16:13,222
What?
299
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:14,765
You're not doing
anything, Jill.
300
00:16:14,765 --> 00:16:16,934
Well, give me a chance,
this just started.
301
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:20,271
Things could explode any second,
what are you doing?
302
00:16:20,271 --> 00:16:22,648
âI...
âThere should be counseling
sessions
303
00:16:22,648 --> 00:16:24,775
âYes.
âYou should be recruiting
âBlack faculty.
304
00:16:24,775 --> 00:16:26,611
âI plan to.
âWhen?
305
00:16:26,611 --> 00:16:27,695
[sighs]
306
00:16:29,947 --> 00:16:31,991
Jill, I don't know if I could
support you for mayor.
307
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:35,536
What?
308
00:16:35,536 --> 00:16:37,705
You've been taking a lot of
things for granted.
309
00:16:37,705 --> 00:16:38,706
Don't.
310
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:47,256
Black's are the best race.
They dress better,
they act better.
311
00:16:47,256 --> 00:16:49,008
Hey, try this one, G...
312
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:51,552
my cousin Compton hooked me...
Oh, yo.
313
00:16:51,552 --> 00:16:53,930
You've got the coolest Tâshirts.
314
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:57,975
Now, boy, I've got the dopest
Tâshirts. Period.
You know what I'm saying?
315
00:16:59,227 --> 00:17:00,728
whoa, whoa.
316
00:17:00,728 --> 00:17:02,396
What's up with this, G?
317
00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:07,151
Oh, uh... I got shot
318
00:17:07,151 --> 00:17:09,278
last year.
319
00:17:09,278 --> 00:17:11,656
âYou didn't hear?
âWord!
320
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:14,158
Damn, that in the chest, too.
321
00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:16,869
You must have a heart
of steel, homie.
322
00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:18,204
Who did it? Who capped you?
323
00:17:18,204 --> 00:17:20,289
A guy in school.
324
00:17:20,289 --> 00:17:21,624
He's in juvenile prison.
325
00:17:21,624 --> 00:17:24,961
Shoot. He popped the cap
in your ass,
326
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:27,255
he should've breathed
his last breath, yo.
327
00:17:27,255 --> 00:17:29,549
Check it, if I was your homie
back then
328
00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:31,634
I would've had your back, man.
329
00:17:31,634 --> 00:17:35,096
Word, like
Warren G and Nate Dogg,
straight regulating.
330
00:17:36,681 --> 00:17:41,269
Booâyah! That's what I'm
talking about.
331
00:17:41,269 --> 00:17:44,647
"Their brains are smaller
and they're dominated
by sex drive."
332
00:17:44,647 --> 00:17:47,650
This, from one of our
fifthâgrade students. Who?
333
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:50,820
Zachary Brock. The son of our
mayor pro tem.
334
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:54,824
If this is how she parents
her child, how can we
let her parent this community?
335
00:17:54,824 --> 00:17:56,492
This son of a bitch.
336
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:59,120
âI'll kill him.
âJill...
337
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:04,375
Of all the cheap exploitative
crap, what the hell is that?
338
00:18:04,375 --> 00:18:07,086
âIt's politics.
âThat's not politics.
339
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:08,921
And it isn't Carter...
340
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,548
Not the Carter I know.
341
00:18:10,548 --> 00:18:12,883
Ask those Green Bay kids
how hard they laughed
342
00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:16,262
when our sheriff's department
stared them down with guns.
343
00:18:16,262 --> 00:18:18,264
We have a problem here.
344
00:18:18,264 --> 00:18:20,600
We have a situation.
345
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,686
He can't lead this town.
346
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,068
I like Carter
but he can't command respect.
347
00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:33,571
Yeah, but the problem is,
Jill Brock can.
348
00:18:35,656 --> 00:18:37,575
What's that supposed to mean?
349
00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:41,370
I mean, she's persuasive.
People follow her lead.
350
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:42,872
I'm not sure I like her lead.
351
00:18:43,998 --> 00:18:45,666
Well...
352
00:18:45,666 --> 00:18:49,378
You can't be for Ed Lawson.
353
00:18:49,378 --> 00:18:53,132
The devil you know
is sometimes less dangerous.
354
00:18:53,132 --> 00:18:56,844
You couldn't possibly plug
Ed Lawson for mayor.
355
00:18:56,844 --> 00:18:59,472
I don't know.
356
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:02,475
I don't like Ed Lawson
but he is what he is.
357
00:19:02,475 --> 00:19:04,644
He's not hiding anything.
358
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:07,229
All these White liberals
that went down there to stop
those buses,
359
00:19:07,229 --> 00:19:11,233
Jill Brock included,
they are the ones I feel
betrayed by.
360
00:19:11,233 --> 00:19:14,904
John, not Ed Lawson.
361
00:19:14,904 --> 00:19:17,281
...than me.
362
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:18,908
I'm not just a medical
examiner,
363
00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:20,951
I did two years
of political science.
364
00:19:20,951 --> 00:19:22,411
I'm your leader.
365
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:24,664
I am your next mayor.
366
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:26,040
I only need you.
367
00:19:29,877 --> 00:19:31,545
I don't want trouble.
368
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:33,547
Then why did you
write that report?
369
00:19:33,547 --> 00:19:35,716
I looked it up,
I thought it was true.
370
00:19:35,716 --> 00:19:37,968
You said it 'cause you
hate us, didn't you?
371
00:19:37,968 --> 00:19:39,387
You don't want us here.
372
00:19:40,638 --> 00:19:42,640
I know karate. Haa!
373
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,809
[kids in unison] Me, too.
374
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:58,280
I have a big bladder
and a magic penis.
375
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,241
I can get all of you.
376
00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:01,659
You gonna pee on us?
377
00:20:01,659 --> 00:20:04,203
First one who takes a step,
gets it.
378
00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:07,832
I'm not kidding.
379
00:20:07,832 --> 00:20:10,668
Go ahead. Make my day.
380
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:15,506
[all] Ewww.
381
00:20:15,506 --> 00:20:17,258
He did what?
382
00:20:17,258 --> 00:20:19,760
You heard me.
383
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,762
It was selfâdefense.
384
00:20:21,762 --> 00:20:23,180
I was outnumbered.
385
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:25,015
Where on Earth
386
00:20:25,015 --> 00:20:29,228
did you get the idea
to do anything like that?
387
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:30,646
It was nonâviolent.
388
00:20:30,646 --> 00:20:32,398
[Oslo] First, he gives
that report
389
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:35,359
and now he urinates
on the Black students.
390
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,361
I have to at least suspend him.
391
00:20:37,361 --> 00:20:40,030
âOh.
âOne week. I'm sorry.
392
00:20:41,407 --> 00:20:43,659
It was selfâdefense.
393
00:20:43,659 --> 00:20:46,704
And nonâviolent.
394
00:20:46,704 --> 00:20:52,543
Certainly, it's a sad day when
any fifthâgrader release himself
on another child.
395
00:20:52,543 --> 00:20:54,920
The psychological question
I would as is this...
396
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,214
Was it selfâdefense?
397
00:20:57,214 --> 00:20:59,842
Or was this a case of
a White boy feeling the need
398
00:20:59,842 --> 00:21:03,179
to mark his turf
in the face of Black students?
399
00:21:03,179 --> 00:21:05,806
In any event, I would like to
know what goes on
400
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:07,808
in terms of discipline
at the Brock householdââ
401
00:21:07,808 --> 00:21:10,269
Why don't you save your attacks
for tonight's debate, Carter?
402
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:12,646
Or is it easier without me
in the room?
403
00:21:12,646 --> 00:21:15,983
Gee, Jill, I can't be guaranteed
that you would dignify my
attacks at the debate,
404
00:21:15,983 --> 00:21:18,903
I mean, my candidacy
is ridiculous, right?
405
00:21:18,903 --> 00:21:21,322
How about a moment alone?
406
00:21:21,322 --> 00:21:22,490
You'll have to excuse me.
407
00:21:32,124 --> 00:21:34,210
How dare you vilify me
in public?
408
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:36,462
Attack my children,
humiliate them in front
of the...!
409
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:39,006
Maybe I should've invited you
over to my house over a nice
quiet drink,
410
00:21:39,006 --> 00:21:40,674
told you that your candidacy
is a joke.
411
00:21:40,674 --> 00:21:42,510
âWould that be less humiliating?
âWhat we did was
412
00:21:42,510 --> 00:21:44,136
âin the spirit of our affection!
âAffection?
413
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:46,138
If you call the affection,
keep it to yourself!
414
00:21:48,224 --> 00:21:51,435
I'm tired of being the brunt
of your ridicule!
415
00:21:51,435 --> 00:21:53,562
I'm tired of you trying to rid
this town of "Potato Men"
416
00:21:53,562 --> 00:21:56,106
âand witches and Blacks!
âI am not doing that!
417
00:21:56,106 --> 00:21:57,525
You are doing that!
418
00:21:57,525 --> 00:21:59,360
You want a nice
tidy little village
419
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:01,821
where everybody hops around
in harmony. Well, that's great.
420
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:05,616
But I happen to think that
people here have been too damn
content for too damn long!
421
00:22:05,616 --> 00:22:07,785
What the hell
is happening to you, Carter?
422
00:22:07,785 --> 00:22:11,705
I was betrayed
by the Picket Fences!
That's what happened.
423
00:22:11,705 --> 00:22:14,542
Smiling faces, the compassion
on long sleeves
424
00:22:14,542 --> 00:22:17,169
covering up all the
narrowâmindedness!
425
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:20,756
Carter Pike is adorable
as a medical examiner
but let him be mayor?
426
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:29,932
Douglas Wambaugh is right.
This town has a silent
wasp mafia.
427
00:22:29,932 --> 00:22:31,851
While I'm gonna muck
everything up!
428
00:22:31,851 --> 00:22:33,727
As long as the White kids are
pissing on the Black ones,
429
00:22:33,727 --> 00:22:35,354
I'm gonna dig up
all the goo
430
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:38,482
and expose Norman Rockwell
to be Norman Bates!
431
00:22:38,482 --> 00:22:40,025
You're cracking up.
432
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:41,569
Well, cracks are good, Jill.
433
00:22:41,569 --> 00:22:43,445
Rome, Wisconsin,
needs more cracks.
434
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:45,030
Cracks are good!
435
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:51,412
I don't know what's happened.
This whole town has gone mad.
436
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:54,665
Well... everybody's
a little on edge.
437
00:22:54,665 --> 00:22:58,919
I probably shouldn't say this
'cause it makes me sound
prejudiced.
438
00:22:58,919 --> 00:23:01,839
But this town hasn't been
the same since those Black
students arrived.
439
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:03,757
I'm not saying it's their fault.
440
00:23:03,757 --> 00:23:05,259
It's probably ours.
441
00:23:05,259 --> 00:23:08,429
I'm just saying
that things have changed.
442
00:23:08,429 --> 00:23:11,724
I think Carter's point is,
things...
443
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:14,101
maybe are coming out
that have always been here.
444
00:23:14,101 --> 00:23:18,063
Which is all the more reason
that Rome needs to be
completely integrated.
445
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:20,024
The only way to take the schools
out of the vice
446
00:23:20,024 --> 00:23:22,067
is to integrate
the whole township.
447
00:23:23,611 --> 00:23:25,029
[Jimmy] You mean...
448
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:27,781
âyour residential plan.
âYeah.
449
00:23:27,781 --> 00:23:33,037
You realize you won't get
elected on a platform
of making the town more Black.
450
00:23:33,037 --> 00:23:37,207
Well, no, I should probably
just say no new taxes
and universal healthcare.
451
00:23:37,207 --> 00:23:38,834
But after I get elected.
452
00:23:38,834 --> 00:23:40,961
Then I'll mention
the residential plan.

Yo, Matt, you didn't tell me
your sister was so fly, man.

Ooh, and ooh, baby,

act Black, right?

It's dope.

00:24:34,848 --> 00:24:38,310
Hipâhop is very, uh,
exotic here.
474
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:42,773
MTV and Nike ads
are the extent of exposure.
475
00:24:42,773 --> 00:24:45,234
Hipâhop is very romantic.
476
00:24:49,446 --> 00:24:51,281
What do you mean
he talks Black?
477
00:24:51,281 --> 00:24:53,617
He runs around talking like
MTV.
478
00:24:53,617 --> 00:24:55,285
T.J. that's his name.
479
00:24:55,285 --> 00:24:57,579
Matthew brought him down
by my office, you know.
480
00:24:57,579 --> 00:25:00,708
He's got the little white
hair buzz cut.
481
00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:03,460
Rings to his ears,
and he talks like that rapper,

what's his name? Ice Coffee.

00:25:07,006 --> 00:25:10,092
Whatever. I knew it was
something with caffeine.

Henry...
486
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:14,596
we've got White kids wanting
to be Black,
487
00:25:14,596 --> 00:25:18,434
teachers teaching the Black
children that they are good
as White.
488
00:25:18,434 --> 00:25:21,895
And the little kids are
running around like T. J.'s
489
00:25:21,895 --> 00:25:25,357
talking flipâflop
so that the grownâups
can't understand.

Henry, I'm a little scared
492
00:25:30,946 --> 00:25:33,365
this town feels a little angry.
493
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:37,202
The kids are tensed
and the old people are nervous.
494

The reason I asked you
to dinner...
495
00:25:41,331 --> 00:25:43,959
Ed Lawson as mayor
will fan the fire.
496
00:25:43,959 --> 00:25:47,379
Carter can't lead
and Jill really doesn't want to.
497
00:25:47,379 --> 00:25:50,591
There's only one man that can
step in and be a rudder.
498
00:25:50,591 --> 00:25:53,302
Only man that is made of
the stuff
499
00:25:53,302 --> 00:25:56,680
that can see this town through
this crisis.
500
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,558
We both know
who that man is, Henry.
501
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:02,686
So I'm asking you
for the good of the town.
502
00:26:02,686 --> 00:26:05,147
If I do run for mayor,
will you back me?

try to receive this
with the spirit it's intended.
505
00:26:14,531 --> 00:26:17,367
If you stand up there
and announce your candidacy,
506
00:26:17,367 --> 00:26:20,120
I will have you jailed!
507
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:23,082
âOn what grounds?
âWhatever I can think of.
508
00:26:23,082 --> 00:26:25,042
This is a serious election.

00:26:25,042 --> 00:26:28,504
Our town's future hangs
on the result.
510
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:30,464
Don't you make a mockery
of it.
511
00:26:30,464 --> 00:26:34,134
Well, somebody has to
talk to the young people, Henry,
I can do it.
512
00:26:34,134 --> 00:26:36,887
I'm a character.
Theyâthey'll like me.
513
00:26:36,887 --> 00:26:39,556
You will not run for mayor.
514
00:26:39,556 --> 00:26:42,309
Good. End up with Ed Lawson.
515
00:26:42,309 --> 00:26:45,062
I'm sure he'll make you
very happy.

517
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,282
[Matthew]
Picket Fences will return.
518
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:05,332
[theme music playing]
519
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:13,090
[sighs] All right, keep your
composure.
520
00:27:13,090 --> 00:27:15,676
Don't let Lawson rattle you,
he's gonna try.
521
00:27:15,676 --> 00:27:17,970
I know, I know, I won't.
522
00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:19,972
Jimmy...
523
00:27:19,972 --> 00:27:21,640
do you think I can
lead this town?
524
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:25,644
Oh, absolutely.
525
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:28,063
Absolutely.
526
00:27:28,063 --> 00:27:30,107
We're gonna leave now
to get good seats.
527
00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:32,276
Is it okay if Aeisha spends
the night?
528
00:27:32,276 --> 00:27:34,570
It's gonna be a little late
to drive her home
after the debate.
529
00:27:34,570 --> 00:27:36,697
âSure.
âKids will be all right alone?
530
00:27:36,697 --> 00:27:38,615
Oh, they'll be fine.
T. J.'s still upstairs?
531
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:42,494
âOh, yes.
âWho is T. J.?
532
00:27:42,494 --> 00:27:46,164
He's Matthew's new friend.
He wants to eat Aeisha
for Thanksgiving.
533
00:27:47,332 --> 00:27:48,584
Bye.
534
00:27:53,171 --> 00:27:55,549
[hipâhop song playing]
535
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:18,155
[music stops]
536
00:28:18,155 --> 00:28:21,742
Yo, what's up with that, pops?
That's the bomb right there.
537
00:28:21,742 --> 00:28:23,660
What's going on?
538
00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:25,996
This my boy, T. J.
539
00:28:25,996 --> 00:28:28,624
Well, T. J., would you run along
home, I wanna talk
to him.
540
00:28:28,624 --> 00:28:30,334
Matthew.
541
00:28:30,334 --> 00:28:32,252
We were gonna watch
the debate together on TV.
542
00:28:32,252 --> 00:28:35,130
It's cool, man, I need to get
my grub on, anyway.
543
00:28:35,130 --> 00:28:38,091
I'll let you lead, Matt...
544
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,846
What's up?
545
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:48,060
What were you listening to?
546
00:28:49,144 --> 00:28:52,147
It's T. J.'s tape.
547
00:28:52,147 --> 00:28:55,067
They are talking about shooting
cops and you're singing along?
548
00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:56,860
It's hipâhop.
549
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,362
White boy music is lame.
550
00:29:00,530 --> 00:29:01,907
Where did you get that shirt?
551
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:06,244
I bought it from
one of the busedâin kids.
552
00:29:06,244 --> 00:29:07,371
Cool, huh?
553
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:11,792
You think guns are cool?
554
00:29:11,792 --> 00:29:15,754
You think singing songs
about murdering policemen
are cool?
555
00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:21,134
This is disgraceful.
I don't care...
556
00:29:21,134 --> 00:29:24,221
I don't care how popular
that music is,
it's is disgraceful.
557
00:29:25,389 --> 00:29:27,015
I'm just trying to get along.
558
00:29:28,725 --> 00:29:30,644
With who?
559
00:29:30,644 --> 00:29:31,853
With what?
560
00:29:37,150 --> 00:29:40,737
Now, you take that shirt off,
Mr. Cool, I don't wanna ever
see that again.
561
00:29:51,581 --> 00:29:52,624
[Littleton] Are you all right?
562
00:29:56,503 --> 00:29:57,629
Carter.
563
00:30:00,590 --> 00:30:01,883
Why won't you speak?
564
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:07,514
[high pitched voice]
It isn't fair, dammit.
565
00:30:08,849 --> 00:30:11,018
Oh, God.
566
00:30:11,018 --> 00:30:13,478
[high pitched voice]
I can still be a good mayor.
567
00:30:13,478 --> 00:30:15,480
Carter...
568
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,190
I can't endorse a chipmunk.
569
00:30:18,525 --> 00:30:20,527
What?
570
00:30:20,527 --> 00:30:22,070
[high pitched voice]
You're endorsing me?
571
00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:25,073
Yes, I am.
572
00:30:25,073 --> 00:30:27,576

00:30:47,888 --> 00:30:50,599
Douglas Wambaugh,
your moderator.
577
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:54,352
I won't waste time with
the rules because we never
stick to them.
578
00:30:54,352 --> 00:30:57,647
Basically, the candidates
could ask questions
of each other
579
00:30:57,647 --> 00:31:00,984
with 45 seconds to respond.
580
00:31:00,984 --> 00:31:02,903
And I as your moderator,
581
00:31:02,903 --> 00:31:04,863
will ask the first question
582
00:31:04,863 --> 00:31:07,741
which goes to
mayoral candidate, Pike.
583
00:31:07,741 --> 00:31:09,534
My question is this, Carter.
584
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:11,244
Who do you think
you're kidding?
585
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:15,916
I'm glad you asked that.
[clears throat]
586
00:31:15,916 --> 00:31:18,668
I'm an organized person.
I revolutionized the coded
587
00:31:18,668 --> 00:31:21,296
subsection latitudinal autopsy
and published on that.
588
00:31:21,296 --> 00:31:22,798
You work on dead people.
589
00:31:22,798 --> 00:31:24,508
Well, better of with you,
a redneck bigot
590
00:31:24,508 --> 00:31:26,802
who champions prejudice likeââ
591
00:31:26,802 --> 00:31:29,763
Hey, you wanna make me
out a bigot for standing up
against busing?
592
00:31:29,763 --> 00:31:31,348
Fine, I'll wear the label.
593
00:31:31,348 --> 00:31:33,600
Our schools like ticking
bombs right now, right?
594
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,644
And your attitude doesn't help.
595
00:31:35,644 --> 00:31:38,146
Fear is something
you can't really control.
596
00:31:38,146 --> 00:31:40,315
Anybody who says you can
is a liar.
597
00:31:40,315 --> 00:31:42,818
Behavior you can control,
and my behavior...
598
00:31:42,818 --> 00:31:45,153
has not been bigoted.
599
00:31:45,153 --> 00:31:47,656
âCertainly not illegal
like hers.
âWhat?
600
00:31:47,656 --> 00:31:49,866
Political opposition is
one thing, Jill.
601
00:31:49,866 --> 00:31:53,537
But when you sent troops in,
that was just plain
vigilante stuff.
602
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:57,040
âWhat would you have done?
âObeyed the law.
603
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,918
What does it say to the kids
when the mayor decides
604
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:04,047
to act illegally that leads to
chaos? Next...
605
00:32:04,047 --> 00:32:05,924
we'll see our children
urinating on each other.
606
00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:09,094
âYou're out of line.
âWhat's out of line is
607
00:32:09,094 --> 00:32:11,388
a mayor who not only
thinks she's above the law
608
00:32:11,388 --> 00:32:14,307
âbut also above the whole town.
âWhat?
609
00:32:14,307 --> 00:32:17,477
The way you stood up here
a few weeks ago and wailed about
610
00:32:17,477 --> 00:32:21,106
"Oh, this is the saddest day
ever in Rome, voting against
busing.
611
00:32:21,106 --> 00:32:24,192
Always us, what kind of
awful people are we?"
612
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:27,445
How dare you try and
shame us for being scared?
613
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:31,032
âI didn't do that.
âI got news flash for you, Jill.
614
00:32:31,032 --> 00:32:34,494
White people are afraid of
Black people.
Let me say that again.
615
00:32:34,494 --> 00:32:37,372
White people are afraid of
Black people.
616
00:32:37,372 --> 00:32:39,457
Is it wrong? Of course, it is.
617
00:32:39,457 --> 00:32:42,127
But can't just outlaw fear.
618
00:32:42,127 --> 00:32:45,172
So, let's look at the prejudice
in the face
619
00:32:45,172 --> 00:32:47,841
and work like hell
to deal with it.
620
00:32:47,841 --> 00:32:51,052
[crowd muttering and agreeing]
621
00:32:51,052 --> 00:32:53,346
âI'm dealing with it.
â[Ed] You're not doing anything.
622
00:32:53,346 --> 00:32:56,433
What plan do you have for
getting us over our prejudices?
623
00:32:58,185 --> 00:33:01,438
Well, I've come up with a
residential zoning plan
624
00:33:01,438 --> 00:33:05,066
which provides for affordable
housing for lowâincome Blacks.
625
00:33:05,066 --> 00:33:07,068
I beg your pardon?
626
00:33:07,068 --> 00:33:09,154
â[Jill] It, um...
â[woman] What kind of plan
is that?
627
00:33:09,154 --> 00:33:12,741
The idea is to integrate
the adult population
as wells as the student.
628
00:33:12,741 --> 00:33:15,744
Wait, wait, wait a second.
You have a plan to introduce
629
00:33:15,744 --> 00:33:17,621
a lowâincome Black population?
630
00:33:17,621 --> 00:33:20,498
Yes, IâI developed this
with Judge Nance.
631
00:33:20,498 --> 00:33:23,501
It's called dealing with
the race problem, Mr. Lawson.
632
00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:26,463
How are going to look
these people in the eye
and tell them,
633
00:33:26,463 --> 00:33:29,216
you're gonna destroy the value
of their homes?
634
00:33:29,216 --> 00:33:30,884
You're gonna overcrowd
their schools,
635
00:33:30,884 --> 00:33:34,054
you're gonna fill their
streets with unemployed?
636
00:33:34,054 --> 00:33:36,056
I won't do that.
Carter, would you?
637
00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:41,978
Carter?
638
00:33:44,105 --> 00:33:48,777
No. I think a town should
provide lowâincome housing,
but...
639
00:33:48,777 --> 00:33:51,488
to devise an incentive
for poor people to move
to Rome,
640
00:33:51,488 --> 00:33:53,490
we run the risk of turning
Rome into a ghetto.
641
00:33:53,490 --> 00:33:55,575
We have to be careful
about that.
642
00:33:55,575 --> 00:33:57,410
Tell me something, Jill.
643
00:33:57,410 --> 00:33:59,829
Was this plan part of
644
00:33:59,829 --> 00:34:02,624
the deal for Judge Nance
letting you out of jail?
645
00:34:10,674 --> 00:34:12,926
[sighs]
646
00:34:12,926 --> 00:34:15,971
I thought we agreed
you wouldn't bring up
the residential plan.
647
00:34:17,806 --> 00:34:20,392
I know. I...
648
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:23,103
When he challenged me
on dealing with the problem...
649
00:34:23,103 --> 00:34:25,105
[knock on door]
650
00:34:33,655 --> 00:34:35,073
âCarter?
âHey.
651
00:34:37,117 --> 00:34:39,619
Exit poll shows
44% for Ed Lawson,
652
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:40,996
28 for me,
653
00:34:40,996 --> 00:34:43,123
â22 for you, Jill.
âOh, wow.
654
00:34:43,123 --> 00:34:45,917
Mention the idea
of Black neighbors.
655
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,127
Stupid me.
656
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:51,589
Jill...
657
00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:54,050
Our differences aside.
I don't think either one of us
658
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:57,512
want to see Ed Lawson
in the Mayo's office.
659
00:34:57,512 --> 00:35:00,098
I'm prepared to drop out
and pledge my support to you.
660
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:01,975
We can call a press conference
first thing, 7: 00 a. m.,
661
00:35:01,975 --> 00:35:04,311
get it on public access
and word will spread.
662
00:35:08,023 --> 00:35:09,190
No.
663
00:35:11,234 --> 00:35:12,819
I am dropping out.
664
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:17,616
Let me pledge my support
to you.
665
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:19,618
âWhat?
âOh, Carter...
666
00:35:19,618 --> 00:35:21,953
the only reason
that I asked you to withdraw was
667
00:35:21,953 --> 00:35:26,166
because I didn't think
that you could win. And, now...
668
00:35:26,166 --> 00:35:30,170
It's clear that I can't win
and so our best shot against
Ed Lawson is you.
669
00:35:34,716 --> 00:35:36,843
âReally?
âYeah.
670
00:35:36,843 --> 00:35:38,053
Really.
671
00:35:51,316 --> 00:35:53,443
They are all so jumpy.
672
00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:58,698
This is a jumpy town.
673
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:02,494
Most of the people in this town
are good, openâminded
people.
674
00:36:02,494 --> 00:36:05,205
It's just that everybody's
so nervous.
675
00:36:05,205 --> 00:36:06,539
âYou know, about...
âI know.
676
00:36:14,214 --> 00:36:17,550
I know it's harder for you
than it is for me.
677
00:36:19,511 --> 00:36:20,720
What about...
678
00:36:22,347 --> 00:36:24,933
what about your parents?
679
00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:26,893
What's the deal?
680
00:36:26,893 --> 00:36:27,936
What do you mean?
681
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:30,522
I mean...
682
00:36:32,899 --> 00:36:36,945
they were the ones
behind the guns. You know...
683
00:36:36,945 --> 00:36:38,738
trying to stop us
from coming in.
684
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:41,366
No, no.
685
00:36:41,366 --> 00:36:45,620
They were just afraid
of all the panic.
686
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:48,039
They're very proâintegration,
they are.
687
00:36:49,249 --> 00:36:51,084
So when you say that...
688
00:36:51,084 --> 00:36:53,878
most of the people in this town
are good,
689
00:36:53,878 --> 00:36:55,296
openâminded people...
690
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,508
Your parents fall into that
group?
691
00:37:00,427 --> 00:37:01,511
Yes.
692
00:37:19,404 --> 00:37:21,281
As you can see...
693
00:37:21,281 --> 00:37:24,159
not only is Jill Brock pledging
all her support for me,
694
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:25,994
so is Jimmy Brock,
695
00:37:25,994 --> 00:37:27,787
John Littleton
696
00:37:27,787 --> 00:37:31,541
and Deputy Maxine Stewart,
as well as Douglas Wambaugh.
697
00:37:31,541 --> 00:37:35,253
The leaders of this town agree.
Carter Pike should be
your mayor.
698
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:37,005
[Ed] Not all the leaders.
699
00:37:37,005 --> 00:37:40,800
Standing with me is
Deputy Sheriff Kenny Lacos.
700
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,636
Mr. Henry Novotny's
pledged his name to my
campaign
701
00:37:43,636 --> 00:37:45,472
also Father Gary Barrett.
702
00:37:45,472 --> 00:37:46,890
This is my press conference.
703
00:37:46,890 --> 00:37:48,975
Yeah, well, Carter,
what if you win?
704
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:52,479
Who's gonna run things here
if you get abducted by aliens?
705
00:37:52,479 --> 00:37:54,731
Pay no attention to him.
706
00:37:54,731 --> 00:37:56,149
People of Rome...
707
00:37:56,149 --> 00:37:57,859
this is a defining moment.
708
00:37:57,859 --> 00:37:59,027
Lawson?
709
00:37:59,027 --> 00:38:01,237
You're endorsing him?
710
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:03,323
Free country.
711
00:38:03,323 --> 00:38:06,034
[Carter] This is a time
for change.
712
00:38:06,034 --> 00:38:09,829
I don't see why they don't
let us vote? I mean, we're
the ones effected.
713
00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:12,332
I'm 18, I did vote for Carter.
714
00:38:12,332 --> 00:38:13,917
[hipâhop music playing]
715
00:38:13,917 --> 00:38:15,001
Oh, no
716
00:38:19,714 --> 00:38:22,342
Matthew...
717
00:38:22,342 --> 00:38:24,552
â[music stops]
âWhat are you doing here?
718
00:38:24,552 --> 00:38:26,387
Mmâmm. Yummy.
719
00:38:26,387 --> 00:38:28,556
Shut up. This is
the high school.
720
00:38:28,556 --> 00:38:30,225
We're just moving some stuff.
721
00:38:30,225 --> 00:38:32,519
Dude, check this out.
722
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:34,312
Like what you see?
723
00:38:34,312 --> 00:38:35,814
Tony, beat it
724
00:38:35,814 --> 00:38:37,065
You know what they call
guys like you?
725
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:39,275
I know what your momma calls me.
726
00:38:39,275 --> 00:38:40,819
Whiggers.
727
00:38:40,819 --> 00:38:42,487
âYou're a whigger?
âGet the hell lost.
728
00:38:42,487 --> 00:38:44,739
So this is who you
hanging with now, huh, Aeisha?
729
00:38:44,739 --> 00:38:47,033
Look your butt's getting flat
already.
730
00:38:47,033 --> 00:38:48,952
Let's be cool, man.
Nobody got at...
731
00:38:48,952 --> 00:38:50,578
What you suppose to be?
732
00:38:50,578 --> 00:38:52,288
Asâsalamu alaykum, brother.
733
00:38:52,288 --> 00:38:54,374
âPlease, kid.
âHe's a resident whigger.
734
00:38:54,374 --> 00:38:56,960
âWhat you say, pale boy?
âThey should make you move.
735
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,586
Hey, he's a punkâass, cuz.
736
00:38:58,586 --> 00:39:00,046
Hey, get off me!
737
00:39:06,302 --> 00:39:08,137
[siren wailing]
738
00:39:11,391 --> 00:39:13,768
âIs he hurt?
âHe's fine. But he's been
arrested.
739
00:39:13,768 --> 00:39:16,187
âYou had your own son arrested?
âJohn Littleton over here,
740
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:18,189
he wants to prosecute,
make an example.
741
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:19,899
And I think he's right.
742
00:39:19,899 --> 00:39:22,694
Douglas Wambaugh
for all of them.
743
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:26,114
I have a special place
in my heart, Judge,
for juveniles.
744
00:39:26,114 --> 00:39:28,116
[Littleton] Nice try.
745
00:39:28,116 --> 00:39:30,159
I'd like to prosecute
them as adults, Your Honor.
746
00:39:30,159 --> 00:39:33,121
Specifically, under
subâsection 3621.
747
00:39:33,121 --> 00:39:35,707
âHate crimes.
âThis was a playground fight?
748
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:38,418
Yes, Your Honor.
Raceârelated.
749
00:39:38,418 --> 00:39:39,586
[Judge Bone]
Sit down, both of you.
750
00:39:58,730 --> 00:40:00,732
You know what the American
dream is?
751
00:40:02,275 --> 00:40:04,110
You grow up,
752
00:40:04,110 --> 00:40:05,945
have a family,
753
00:40:05,945 --> 00:40:08,072
a home...
754
00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:11,409
Live in a nice community
you care about.
755
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:14,495
Then as trusted members
of that community
756
00:40:14,495 --> 00:40:17,206
you might even get someone
for service.
757
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:20,001
To sit in this jury box
758
00:40:20,001 --> 00:40:21,961
representing society.
759
00:40:24,005 --> 00:40:25,465
Imagine the irony.
760
00:40:27,592 --> 00:40:30,637
That you kids got in this box
way ahead of time
761
00:40:30,637 --> 00:40:32,096
wearing handcuffs.
762
00:40:33,765 --> 00:40:35,975
I'd love to look at you
and say...
763
00:40:35,975 --> 00:40:38,061
you're not society.
764
00:40:38,061 --> 00:40:39,896
You're just a bunch of hoods.
765
00:40:42,398 --> 00:40:43,566
But I know better.
766
00:40:46,069 --> 00:40:49,238
Complete with all the pinnings
of fear,
767
00:40:49,238 --> 00:40:52,951
insecurity, maybe hatred,
768
00:40:52,951 --> 00:40:57,163
you are very much society.
769
00:40:57,163 --> 00:41:00,124
We are all struggling
with this busing thing.
770
00:41:00,124 --> 00:41:03,836
More than anything else
that's what growth is
all about...
771
00:41:03,836 --> 00:41:05,797
struggle...
772
00:41:05,797 --> 00:41:10,218
It's easier to resist it,
to say, "No. No, I'm not gonna
change.
773
00:41:10,218 --> 00:41:12,011
I'm staying just the way I am.
774
00:41:12,011 --> 00:41:14,389
I'm not gonna grow.
775
00:41:14,389 --> 00:41:16,766
Leave us be."
776
00:41:16,766 --> 00:41:19,227
But there's no courage
in "leave us be."
777
00:41:21,187 --> 00:41:26,150
Courage comes with a willingness
to accept one another.
778
00:41:26,150 --> 00:41:27,819
So...
779
00:41:27,819 --> 00:41:30,613
how tough are you guys?
780
00:41:30,613 --> 00:41:33,783
How much dare have you
got inside?
781
00:41:33,783 --> 00:41:36,160
Kids before you turned
to hatred.
782
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,454
Kids after you will do so, too.
783
00:41:38,454 --> 00:41:42,083
Most of your parents
will turn to fear!
784
00:41:42,083 --> 00:41:43,251
It's easy.
785
00:41:44,961 --> 00:41:47,130
Sitting down together...
786
00:41:47,130 --> 00:41:49,757
trying to make it work...
787
00:41:49,757 --> 00:41:51,050
that's what's hard.
788
00:41:52,218 --> 00:41:53,261
So...
789
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:57,515
how tough are you?
I wanna know.
790
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:01,394
You got the guts to accept him?
791
00:42:03,062 --> 00:42:06,315
You strong enough
to talk to that guy?
792
00:42:06,315 --> 00:42:09,235
How the hell tough are you guys?
793
00:42:09,235 --> 00:42:10,486
Huh?
794
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,657
Bailiff, take the handcuffs
off them.
795
00:42:15,825 --> 00:42:17,702
All charges dismissed.
796
00:42:18,995 --> 00:42:20,663
Go on out there
and show us...
797
00:42:21,789 --> 00:42:23,416
what the future holds.
798
00:42:31,466 --> 00:42:34,719
[TV announcer] Polls have just
closed and it's still too close
to call.
799
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:39,515
Final tallies are being made
and we should announce
our winner within the hour.
800
00:42:39,515 --> 00:42:41,392
This whole campaign has been
turned on its head recently
801
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:43,603
by Dr. Jill Brock's recent
announcement
802
00:42:43,603 --> 00:42:47,774
âthat she has dropped out
of the race...
âHi.
803
00:42:47,774 --> 00:42:49,484
Hi.

âJohn.
âHey, Jimmy.
805
00:42:51,235 --> 00:42:53,237
Sorry to intrude.
No, that's all right.
806
00:42:53,237 --> 00:42:55,656
I was wondering if I could talk
to your son for a second.
807
00:42:55,656 --> 00:42:58,284
I'm sorry, I won't fight again,
I promise.
808
00:42:58,284 --> 00:43:01,496
Well, you're wanna be
Snoop Doggy Dogg, Matthew?
809
00:43:01,496 --> 00:43:03,498
Actually, I wanna talk to Zack
for a second.
810
00:43:19,263 --> 00:43:20,723
I read your book report, Zack.
811
00:43:23,142 --> 00:43:26,646
Zachary, do you think that
I'm less smart than a
White lawyer?
812
00:43:28,773 --> 00:43:30,650
I don't know.
813
00:43:30,650 --> 00:43:33,111
I'd understand if you did.
814
00:43:33,111 --> 00:43:35,696
When I was in law school,
a lot of my White classmates
thought I was only there
815
00:43:35,696 --> 00:43:36,906
because of a special favor.
816
00:43:38,032 --> 00:43:39,158
Affirmative action?
817
00:43:40,743 --> 00:43:42,745
Yeah. Yeah.
818
00:43:46,916 --> 00:43:49,168
Now I'm gonna tell you
something else
819
00:43:49,168 --> 00:43:51,420
and this is something
I haven't told anybody else
in Rome.
820
00:43:51,420 --> 00:43:53,965
So let's just keep this
between you and me, okay?
821
00:43:53,965 --> 00:43:56,259
âOkay.
âOkay.
822
00:43:56,259 --> 00:43:57,343
Um...
823
00:43:57,343 --> 00:43:59,428
When I was your age...
824
00:43:59,428 --> 00:44:02,014
I lived in an allâBlack
neighborhood in Chicago.
825
00:44:02,014 --> 00:44:06,853
And some of the kids there,
they made fun of me
because I'm dark skinned.
826
00:44:06,853 --> 00:44:09,689
âOther Black kids picked on you?
âOther Black kids...
827
00:44:09,689 --> 00:44:11,274
because I'm darker.
828
00:44:11,274 --> 00:44:14,110
See, that's one
of the evil things about racism.
829
00:44:14,110 --> 00:44:16,195
Even Black people can
believe it sometimes.
830
00:44:17,864 --> 00:44:19,782
You know about slavery?
831
00:44:19,782 --> 00:44:20,950
I saw Roots.
832
00:44:22,326 --> 00:44:23,369
Well, um...
833
00:44:24,579 --> 00:44:26,164
Slavery has a lot to do with it.
834
00:44:27,456 --> 00:44:29,250
And today...
835
00:44:29,250 --> 00:44:31,419
some Black people still have
to deal with these feelings
836
00:44:31,419 --> 00:44:32,795
that they're not as good.
837
00:44:34,422 --> 00:44:35,923
And some Black kids even...
838
00:44:35,923 --> 00:44:38,259
if they don't realize
they believe it...
839
00:44:38,259 --> 00:44:39,510
they believe it.
840
00:44:40,678 --> 00:44:43,181
And it holds them back.
841
00:44:43,181 --> 00:44:46,767
Maybe that helps to explain
why they don't get
as good grades.
842
00:44:46,767 --> 00:44:48,311
Score lower on the SATs.
843
00:44:51,397 --> 00:44:52,648
I'm sorry.
844
00:44:54,984 --> 00:44:56,194
I know you are.
845
00:44:57,695 --> 00:44:58,779
We all are.
846
00:45:05,953 --> 00:45:07,705
What'd you say to him?
847
00:45:07,705 --> 00:45:09,248
Oh... stuff.
848
00:45:09,248 --> 00:45:11,167
You know, nothing he probably
hasn't heard before.
849
00:45:12,418 --> 00:45:14,545
Maybe.
850
00:45:14,545 --> 00:45:16,422
[TV announcer]
...and this just in.
851
00:45:16,422 --> 00:45:19,050
Results are now in.
It is now official
852
00:45:19,050 --> 00:45:22,053
in one of the closest
races ever.
853
00:45:22,053 --> 00:45:25,097
Eleven thousand eight hundred
