00:03:46 Settle down. I got a question[br]I want to ask you all.
00:03:51 How many people came here[br]to change the world?
00:03:57 How many people came here[br]to learn how to make a lot of money?
00:04:01 Hey, we got an outreach program here[br]where we really tap into the community.
00:04:06 What's the point?
00:04:09 Hey, listen, my f riends. You are[br]the few, the proud, the next...
00:04:15 ...incoming f reshman class[br]to Columbus University.

00:06:20 -What's up, Malik?[br]-What's up, dog?
00:06:22 -Your mama got you some school gear.[br]-Your mama let me use her credit card.
00:06:27 -Yeah, all right.[br]-We'll see you.
00:06:30 Malik, what's wrong with you?
00:06:34 What?
00:06:36 This.
00:06:38 Why you always trying to showboat?[br]How come you're not dressed?
00:06:41 My stomach was giving me trouble.
00:06:43 You think because you're a superstar[br]rookie you don't have to work?
00:06:47 I got guys on this field who'll clean[br]your clock in five seconds.
00:06:53 Who?
00:06:59 Get off my field.
00:07:03 It's like that?
00:07:04 That's how you made it.
00:07:13 Dig.
00:07:15 Dig.
00:07:21 Little off today, baby, huh?
00:07:48 -Hi.[br]-Hi.
00:07:52 -I'm Kristen.[br]-Monet.
00:07:56 We're roommates, huh?
00:07:58 Yep. I like this side of the room,[br]but I guess you got here first.
00:08:07 Yeah, I guess I did.
00:08:17 So, where are you f rom?

00:08:23 -ls that near Compton?[br]-No.
00:08:28 -You're not f rom around here, are you?[br]-No.
00:08:32 It's near Disneyland.
00:08:35 You live near Disneyland?
00:08:39 -Must be nice.[br]-lt has its moments.
00:08:47 Yeah!
00:08:49 Go!
00:08:57 This is crazy.
00:09:04 Come on, girls, let's go.
00:09:08 I am getting my own[br]apartment next semester.
00:09:11 These dorms are f or children.[br]I hate them. God.
00:09:15 -Do you want to room with me?[br]-Hell, yeah. My room's like this big.
00:09:22 What about you?[br]Want to get an apartment together?
00:09:25 -I can't aff ord it.[br]-No sweat. Get your parents to pay.
00:09:30 -They can't.[br]-Why not?
00:09:32 My dad got laid off[br]f rom McDonnell Douglas last year.
00:09:36 The IRS audited him. My parents[br]could barely aff ord to send me here.
00:09:41 -But you are here.[br]-I'm here and I'm happy.
00:09:44 My roommate's a Mexican,[br]I bet she got a scholarship.
00:09:48 Shut up. Well, here we are.
00:09:58 All right, come here, darling.
00:10:02 Drink! Drink! Drink!
00:10:12 -Theta Kappa![br]-Hey, Chad.
00:10:16 Well, well, what do we got here?[br]New recruits f or our Little Sister rush?
00:10:21 No, no. Actually, I don't[br]know about that.
00:10:26 -Ladies, this is Chad.[br]-Hi, Chad.
00:10:28 -Hey.[br]-And this is Nicole, okay?
00:10:32 And this is Claudia, right?
00:10:35 -And this is, uh...[br]-Kristen.
00:10:38 Kristen. I'm sorry. They're f reshmen.
00:10:43 How do we become Little Sisters?
00:10:45 They probably make you drink beer[br]out of condoms and wet your T-shirt.
00:10:50 Beer out of a condom...[br]That's a new one. Write that down.
00:10:54 -I will.[br]-No, we don't do that here.
00:10:58 But I'll tell you this. There's nobody[br]on this campus who parties like we do!
00:11:05 Yo!
00:11:32 Man, governments[br]ain't running things no more.
00:11:36 Financial institutions,[br]they controlling the whole thing.
00:11:40 You ever hear of the World Bank[br]or the IMF? No, huh?
00:11:44 Y'all probably don't even have[br]checking accounts.
00:11:47 But y'all got them[br]credit cards, huh?
00:11:50 Buy stuff out your means[br]and wonder why you still a slave.
00:11:54 Y'all better recognize,[br]I'm telling you.
00:11:57 Dude, when are you gonna clear[br]everyone out? Classes start tomorrow.
00:12:05 -lt's over when it's over, dude.[br]-" Dude."
00:12:35 I can't take this no more.
00:12:41 -Yo, man, watch my shoes.[br]-You got a problem, man?
00:12:51 Security.
00:12:53 Security.
00:12:56 Look at this.
00:12:59 -What's up, kid?[br]-They're playing their music, man.
00:13:03 Who?
00:13:05 These guys. I'm not trying to narc,[br]but tomorrow's the first day of class.
00:13:09 I got physics in the morning.[br]It's like f riggin' Soul Train up there.
00:13:16 You're here to study, not to party.[br]Head home and hit those books.
00:13:21 Glad you had a good time.[br]Come again on the weekend.
00:13:25 Good night. Okay.
00:13:27 People are trying to sleep.[br]Give them a little respect, huh?
00:13:31 You don't hear that down the hall?
00:13:34 You ain't sweating them because they're[br]playing that hillbilly shit, right?
00:13:38 No, no. Because I dig rock 'n' roll.
00:13:41 Then roll your f at ass[br]down the hall then.
00:13:45 That's that old bullshit.
00:13:55 Hey!
00:14:02 -Why are you walking alone?[br]-I don't know.
00:14:06 It's not safe to walk around[br]campus by yourself at night.
00:14:10 I just left the Row 'cause my f riends[br]were drinking and acting crazy.
00:14:14 I just went my own way.
00:14:18 Some f riends.
00:14:20 Yeah.
00:14:28 Look at all these pretty blue lights.
00:14:32 You don't know what[br]they're f or, do you?
00:14:35 No. Decoration?
00:14:40 No, it's the blue-light system.
00:14:42 See, there's a phone[br]at the end of every block.
00:14:47 That way you can call security[br]in case someone tries to grab you.
00:14:54 You're gonna have[br]to be caref ul out here.
00:15:00 Come on.
00:15:02 I just got here.[br]Have you met anybody yet?
00:15:05 Yeah, I just met somebody.
00:15:08 My name's Taryn.
00:15:11 -Junior.[br]-Kristen. Freshman.
00:15:14 Fresh-woman?
00:15:17 Yeah, I could tell.
00:15:20 Well, my first class is at 8:00.
00:15:24 -So...[br]-Where's your dorm?
00:15:26 It's right here. Holland Hall.[br]Real close.
00:15:29 -Thanks.[br]-Sure. Oh, wait.
00:15:33 Here.
00:15:35 Students f or a Non-Sexist Society.
00:15:38 We have meetings Wednesdays[br]if you want to come by.
00:15:41 Okay. Thanks.
00:15:50 Oh, man.
00:16:09 Oh, man, I'm sorry.[br]I didn't know you were here.
00:16:17 -lt's time f or us to talk.[br]-About what?
00:16:20 About your side of the room.
00:16:24 What's wrong with it?
00:16:27 Look at it, man. It's filthy,[br]it's f unky, it's stinking, man.
00:16:31 -What you do on that side affects me.[br]-All right, I'll try.
00:16:42 Let's take a trip around the world.
00:16:45 Look there, under the statue.[br]You see them people?
00:16:49 That's Disneyland.
00:16:53 And there's Chinatown.
00:16:55 And over there,[br]that's south of the border.
00:16:59 And this right here is the black hole[br]because we're black f olks.
00:17:05 So, you Fudge, huh?[br]I heard about you.
00:17:09 -What'd you hear about me?[br]-I heard you were a super-duper senior.
00:17:14 Been here six years[br]and still haven't graduated.
00:17:17 -She trying to play you out.[br]-Why is that?
00:17:22 Because I done already[br]learned the game, f resh fish.
00:17:26 Is that right, old trout?
00:17:32 Yo.
00:17:35 Y'all some trained Negroes.
00:17:38 Soon as you hear a bell,[br]y'all go running.
00:17:51 Welcome to the real world.
00:17:54 Or, as it states in your schedule[br]of courses, Political Science 101 .
00:17:59 I am your instructor.[br]My name is Professor Maurice Phipps.
00:18:05 Today I am going to give you your first[br]lesson in politics. Are you ready?
00:18:13 Now, I shall need one volunteer.
00:18:17 Anyone?
00:18:26 No wonder this nation is f alling[br]behind the rest of the world.
00:18:31 No one in this class[br]seems to have any initiative.
00:18:37 You, brave soul, come f orward.
00:18:54 -And what is your name, my good man?[br]-Malik Williams, Professor Phipps, sir.
00:19:01 Malik Williams. Mr. Williams,[br]would you be kind enough...
00:19:06 ...to read the names[br]with the asterisks beside them?
00:19:10 Those persons whose names[br]are called, please stand.
00:19:14 All right. " Marvin Anthony,[br]Wendy Arrington, Tanya Arroyo...
00:19:20 ...Chris Barlow, Skye Blue,[br]Jennifer Bryant...
00:19:25 Pamela Burris, Eric Cannon,[br]Kristen Connor, Judith Dantzig...
00:19:31 ...Patsy Ewing, Mark Katz...
00:19:36 ...Malik Williams." What?
00:19:40 Thank you, Mr. Williams.[br]You have served your purpose.
00:19:43 What's that list f or, dog?
00:19:46 Those persons whose names were[br]called and whom are standing...
00:19:50 ...the university instructed me that[br]your financial bill hasn't been paid.
00:19:56 Leave and settle your debts. You[br]may not return until you have done so.
00:20:01 There are no handouts[br]in the f ree world...
00:20:05 ...and, appropriately, none in[br]my course. Thank you and good day.
00:20:16 Shit.
00:20:18 Professor Phipps, I need this class[br]f or my major. You know?
00:20:24 Young lady, calm yourself and go[br]to the financial aid office.
00:20:32 Go.
00:20:37 What about me?
00:20:39 Don't you have[br]some business to attend to?
00:20:42 Yeah, but I thought[br]I just showed initiative.
00:20:45 That don't count f or nothing, brother?
00:20:49 Mr. Williams, I do not appreciate,[br]nor will I tolerate...
00:20:53 ...people who try to brownnose[br]in my course.
00:20:57 Now go to the financial aid office[br]or appeal to the athletic department.
00:21:04 I ain't no dumb athlete.
00:21:12 That remains to be seen.
00:21:21 Right. I hope that all of you...
00:21:26 Yo, dog, take good notes.[br]I'm gonna need to borrow them.
00:21:33 Now that the bureaucratic nonsense[br]is out of the way, we'll get to...
00:21:37 ...the business of real politics.
00:21:39 Are you sure? I mean,[br]I don't understand this.
00:21:43 Never leave home without it.
00:21:55 Looks like we got a problem[br]with your fee bill.
00:21:58 Like what?
00:22:00 It says you got a partial athletic[br]scholarship. Better talk to your coach.
00:22:05 Partial? That's a mistake.[br]I'm a f ull-scholarship student.
00:22:09 I can't help that.[br]That's what it shows.
00:22:12 -You sure your computer ain't broke?[br]-I'm sorry, honey. I can't help you.
00:22:18 -Go get it cleared in that department.[br]-Thank you.
00:22:22 Next.
00:22:27 Baby, you're just gonna have[br]to get a job.
00:22:32 Here's your card.
00:22:38 Come on, guys, pick it up!
00:22:41 You look like a bunch of girls![br]Come on, pick it up!
00:22:45 Come on, give me some juice.[br]There you go.
00:23:02 Yeah, looking sweet.
00:23:40 -Twenty-three![br]-You want a what? A full scholarship?
00:23:46 Man, you aot some nerve.
00:23:49 All riaht, I'll see what I can do.
00:23:52 I don't wanna hear you're lax in your[br]studies or fuckina up on the field.
00:23:58 You aot that?[br]Do I make myself clear?
00:24:01 Yeah, man, I understand.
00:24:18 Word to the mother, kid.[br]Have you seen that ass?
00:24:28 Hey, yo, what kind[br]of munchies y'all got?
00:24:32 Where are the vittles at? The eats?
00:24:37 Hey, y'all ain't got no Kool-Aid[br]up in this piece, man? Guess not.
00:24:45 I see y'all got some Evian[br]up in here, though, huh?
00:24:52 How would you feel if you had to study[br]and I came in and blasted my music?
00:24:58 -That wouldn't happen.[br]-Why not?
00:25:02 Because I'd whup your ass, that's why.
00:25:39 Ex cuse me.
00:25:44 Boy, I'm the master of Monopoly.
00:25:49 That's right.
00:25:51 You bankrupt, G.
00:25:53 Should've bought them[br]apartments, man. I told you.
00:25:57 Hey, why you going to this school?
00:26:01 Well, because that's what they say you[br]need to do to make it in the country.
00:26:07 -What's "making it"?[br]-Fudge, your printer's out of paper.
00:26:12 Well, then go buy some more.[br]What's "making it"?
00:26:17 You know, getting a degree.[br]You know, making that long dough.
00:26:22 Is that right? So you in it[br]f or the money or the knowledge?
00:26:31 Check out this situation.
00:26:33 You at a f ootball game.[br]There's thousands of people there.
00:26:38 All of them white.
00:26:40 The American flag[br]is right above your head.
00:26:43 They're about to play[br]the national anthem.
00:26:46 All these people turn around[br]and look you dead in your eye.
00:26:50 What do you do?
00:26:54 I stand up.[br]I'd probably be so embarrassed...
00:27:00 You know, I'd stand up.[br]You know what I'm saying?
00:27:15 They got you running[br]f or the school, huh?
00:27:18 -Yeah. Partial scholarship.[br]-You don't run, you don't get tuition.
00:27:24 That's the way the system goes.
00:27:28 Run, nigger, run.
00:27:54 Oh, my God. Look at her hair.
00:27:57 -Be nice, Nicole. It's not that bad.[br]-She looks like a tramp.
00:28:02 -Hi.[br]-Hi. What'd you do to your hair?
00:28:06 -I just bleached it.[br]-I love it. Yes.
00:28:12 Watch me bring it up.[br]Watch me bring it.
00:28:15 Bam. Of all times.
00:28:24 Want to play again, man?[br]Come on, let's play again.
00:28:31 -Three in a row.[br]-You're a bastard.
00:28:44 -Want to play?[br]-Huh?
00:28:47 -Want to play a game of pool?[br]-I don't know how to play.
00:29:00 Bye.
00:29:04 Okay, who's the genius[br]who matches roommates up?
00:29:07 They moved me in[br]with a psycho dickhead.
00:29:10 It's like the Bates Hotel[br]over at my place.
00:29:14 My days are numbered, Wayne.
00:29:16 -He's probably just quiet.[br]-Okay.
00:29:20 Hey.
00:29:22 -Hey, man. Say, where's the party?[br]-Up here, man.
00:29:27 Is that right? Cool.
00:29:37 Here she goes.
00:29:40 Nice job. Hello! Good night.
00:29:44 Down the hatch.
00:29:46 Talented, I see.
00:29:49 -I never usually swallow.[br]-You're a dirty girl.

00:30:17 -I can't walk.[br]-Please, come on.
00:30:20 -All right. Where are we going?[br]-We're going to my house.
00:30:24 To the house.
00:30:27 When you say that you look really bad,[br]like, you're perfect, you know?
00:30:34 Hey, do you think we should've[br]let Kristen go with Billy?
00:30:38 -Because she doesn't even drink.[br]-Billy who?
00:30:44 I love you!
00:31:07 Billy, you've gotta get a rubber.
00:31:16 Billy, we should be using a condom.
00:31:19 Just a second.
00:31:25 Billy, come on.
00:31:27 -One second.[br]-No. Get a condom.
00:31:30 Just wait a second.[br]Shut up!
00:31:31 Billy, no! Stop it! Get a condom!
00:31:36 No! Stop it!
00:31:39 Billy, get off of me! Get off of me!
00:31:43 -Fuck, man![br]-No! Stop!

00:33:18 Kris, what's the matter?[br]Why are you crying?
00:33:24 Oh, God, what have you been drinking?
00:33:28 Kris, what's wrong?

00:33:58 She's not here.
00:34:01 Even if she was here, I don't think[br]she'd wanna talk to you.
00:34:05 I know she's there. I can hear her.
00:34:08 -Can you put her on the phone?[br]-Didn't I just tell you she's not here?
00:34:12 Put her on the phone,[br]you black bitch!
00:34:15 -What did you say?[br]-You heard me.

00:37:08 What the f uck you talking about,[br]white boy?
00:37:12 Gang members?[br]We go to school here too!
00:37:15 -Enough of this stuff.[br]-I'll rip your ass off them stairs!
00:37:19 Don't I know you? Everybody else,[br]come out with the I.D.'s.
00:37:23 You don't need to see nobody I.D.[br]Don't show them.
00:37:26 Wait. Everything's okay now.[br]It was just a misunderstanding.
00:37:30 We're cool now, right?
00:37:34 We're cool, right?
00:37:41 Hope you gonna break up their party[br]like you did ours.
00:37:49 -ls everything cool here now?[br]-Very f ucking cool!
00:37:52 What's up?
00:37:55 Pussy.
00:38:00 Punk-ass motherf ucker.
00:38:16 I don't understand why they always[br]have to start all this trouble.
00:38:24 -You okay, Billy?[br]-Yeah.
00:38:33 Come on.
00:38:36 We need to get past just complaining[br]about university security.
00:38:41 You know?
00:38:44 I'm tired of hearing women cry[br]f or someone else to save them.
00:38:49 Think what that means.
00:38:51 Why do you need someone else[br]to save you?
00:38:54 Think about saving yourself.
00:38:58 -Hi.[br]-Hi.
00:39:03 Hi, everybody.
00:39:05 -Join us.[br]-Okay.
00:39:09 Hi.
00:39:12 We were talking about security on[br]campus, in light of a recent survey...
00:39:17 ...that showed one out of f our women[br]has been raped...
00:39:21 ...or survived an attempted rape,[br]since the age of 14.
00:39:24 Do you have any ideas or thoughts[br]you want to share?
00:39:37 No.
00:39:46 Fudge, you got some e-mail[br]coming through.
00:39:48 Is that right?
00:39:51 Need to start charging y'all f ools,[br]like the university.
00:39:55 Twenty-five cent a page.
00:39:58 Y'all could pay f or my laundry.
00:40:27 You got the autobiography[br]of Frederick Douglass?
00:40:30 Yeah.
00:40:33 Biographies are up there.
00:40:37 -Damn. You read all these?[br]-Most of them.
00:40:43 Hey, how you get turned on[br]to Douglass?
00:40:45 Need it f or a class.
00:40:48 For a class. That's the only[br]reason you're reading it?
00:40:52 -Yeah. Why else?[br]-To feed your brain, f ool.
00:40:58 I thought you was a smart one,[br]but you ain't. So you got to go.
00:41:04 -Can I borrow this book, man?[br]-Yeah, go ahead.
00:41:07 Read it f or yourself[br]and not f or no damn class, though.
00:41:13 -Thanks f or the book, dog.[br]-Run along.
00:41:28 -What's up, brother?[br]-What's up, man?
00:41:32 Reading in the dark[br]is bad f or the eyes.
00:41:37 -I got good eyes.[br]-What book you reading?
00:41:44 -Iliad.[br]-That's a good book. Great battles.
00:41:48 Yeah, it's all right.
00:41:50 Me and a couple f riends,[br]we were gonna go get a drink.
00:41:54 You wanna come along?
00:41:58 I said, me and my buddies were gonna[br]go get a drink. You wanna come along?
00:42:04 What are you,[br]some queer or something?
00:42:07 -What? What are you talking about?[br]-I should kick your ass, man.
00:42:13 First off, don't ever touch me again.
00:42:16 I will beat you[br]to the f ucking ground, boy.
00:42:21 Secondly, you know,[br]I ain't no f aggot.
00:42:24 I just wanted to know[br]if you wanted to get a drink.
00:42:32 -Sorry, man. It's a new city.[br]-That's okay. I understand.
00:42:38 We'll f orget about it,[br]have a drink...
00:42:41 ...with good people.[br]We'll have a good time.
00:42:44 -What do you say?[br]-All right, man.
00:42:47 Pick up your stuff. Come on.
00:42:50 I mean, we're white, in America,[br]what more do you need?
00:42:53 We're white, in America, what more[br]do you need to have a good time?
00:42:57 Right?
00:42:58 All right, here we go.
00:43:00 -What's your name again?[br]-Remy.
00:43:04 -What's your name?[br]-I'm Scott.
00:43:08 -So, where you f rom, Remy?[br]-ldaho.
00:43:12 -ldaho, huh? Where in Idaho?[br]-Boise.
00:43:16 That's the Big Sky State, huh?
00:43:20 -I think that's Montana.[br]-That's right. It is Montana.
00:43:25 These are my brothers here.
00:43:28 Fellas, hey.
00:43:32 This here, this is Erik.
00:43:35 -What's up, man?[br]-This is Knocko over here.
00:43:38 -This is James here.[br]-Hi.
00:43:40 -Everybody, this is Remy.[br]-Hey, Remy.
00:43:45 What's up?
00:43:46 You should know that democratic[br]theory did not begin...
00:43:50 ...with Rousseau's contract. No.
00:43:53 Its origins, in f act, lie in[br]the subject of landownership.
00:43:57 The common people became aware...
00:44:00 ...that the upper classes owned the land[br]upon which they lived and laboured.
00:44:04 This incensed them...
00:44:07 ...inspired them to seek sovereignty[br]of their own homelands.
00:44:12 However,[br]the social order of the day...
00:44:15 ...did not permit landownership[br]by the common man.
00:44:22 Theref ore, these people...
00:44:25 ...felt the need to leave[br]their homelands...
00:44:29 ...to flee in an eff ort to escape[br]political and social persecution.
00:44:35 Hence, the creation that is America.
00:44:39 Theref ore, the basic premise...
00:44:45 ...of democratic theory...
00:44:47 ...is that each and every citizen[br]living within that society...
00:44:54 ...is entitled...
00:44:57 ...to what?
00:45:02 We are entitled to life...
00:45:08 ...liberty and the pursuit[br]of happiness.
00:45:18 What you people have to realize[br]is that despite having these rights...
00:45:22 ...very few people ex ercise them.
00:45:25 It is that type of apathy that[br]corrodes our country f rom within.
00:45:37 Your assignment f or the semester[br]is as f ollows:
00:45:42 To f ormulate[br]your own political ideology.
00:45:48 This will be dictated by your sex,[br]background...
00:45:53 ...socioeconomic status...
00:45:55 ...personal experience,[br]et cetera, et cetera.
00:46:00 This course will be like[br]anything in life.
00:46:03 It will be what you make of it.[br]I am not a babysitter.
00:46:08 Ladies and gentlemen,[br]do not waste my time.
00:46:13 Remember...
00:46:16 ...no one is going to treat[br]you special...
00:46:19 ...just because you are black.
00:46:25 Right. Or white.
00:46:29 Or Hispanic.
00:46:33 Or Indian.
00:46:37 Or Asian.
00:46:39 Or because you are a woman.
00:46:44 Or because you f ailed to get[br]sufficient rest last night.
00:46:52 Or because you are...
00:46:58 What are you?
00:47:02 -I don't know.[br]-Right.
00:47:10 Don't sweat it.
00:47:13 Come on.
00:47:15 Watch it.
00:47:18 -Watch out.[br]-Watch it. Watch it.
00:47:21 -Damn.[br]-Let's see your I.D.
00:47:24 No, let us see your I.D.
00:47:29 Forget these guys.
00:47:33 Thought so.
00:47:35 You know what that's all about?[br]They hate me 'cause they ain't me.
00:47:52 Can you hand me another one[br]of those mayonnaise?
00:48:06 -Do you want to report it?[br]-lt's not gonna do anything.
00:48:15 They're just gonna make me[br]feel like shit...
00:48:18 ...and make me look like[br]I asked f or it.
00:48:24 I didn't ask f or this.[br]I just wanna go to school.
00:48:33 Come here.
00:48:41 This ain't cool, dog. A " B" on[br]content, and then I get a " C" f or...
00:48:46 Punctuation mistakes,[br]misspellings...
00:48:50 ...grammatical error,[br]et cetera, et cetera.
00:48:59 You probably didn't even read it.[br]TA graded all of these, right?
00:49:04 If you could spell as well as you run,[br]it would be better, Mr. Williams.
00:49:15 -Sellout.[br]-Mr. Williams.
00:49:18 So Mr. Williams[br]thinks I am an Uncle Tom.
00:49:27 Well, well, well.
00:49:32 What does that have to do with your[br]ability to place a comma properly...
00:49:37 ...or put a period[br]at the end of a sentence?
00:49:41 -Look...[br]-Would you care f or a peppermint?
00:49:43 No, thank you.
00:49:45 You're using[br]that reverse treatment...
00:49:48 ...'cause I'm one of the only[br]black f aces in your class.
00:49:53 Mr. Williams, I treat everyone[br]in my course exactly the same...
00:49:57 ...and I will continue to give you[br]a difficult time...
00:50:01 ...until you have proven[br]that you deserve otherwise.
00:50:05 -Those are the rules of the game.[br]-lt's a f ucked-up game.
00:50:10 Please watch your language.
00:50:12 Rid yourself of this attitude[br]that the world owes you something.
00:50:17 You must strip yourself of that[br]mentality. It breeds laziness.
00:50:24 It is laziness that has kept[br]black people down in this country.
00:50:27 I don't think like that.[br]All right, man, it's just...
00:50:32 Look, I don't need one of my own[br]trying to treat me like I'm the enemy.
00:50:38 The enemy? Who is the enemy?
00:50:41 One man with a white beard[br]who sits behind his desk...
00:50:44 ...pushing buttons that control[br]the f ate of the entire world?
00:50:48 No, that is not reality.[br]That is The Wizard of Oz.
00:50:52 No, man, I mean anybody.
00:50:55 White, black, anybody[br]who gets in the way of my progress.
00:51:00 I am not in your way.
00:51:03 I did not ask you[br]to come to this university...
00:51:06 ...nor am I here to motivate you.
00:51:09 Your own presence[br]should be motivation enough.
00:51:13 I have nothing to prove,[br]unlike you.
00:51:16 I don't have anything to prove.
00:51:19 Who do I have something to prove to?
00:51:25 Yourself.
00:51:30 Good afternoon, Mr. Williams.
00:51:48 Ladies and aentlemen,[br]the next race on the track...
00:51:51 ...will be the 4x100-metre relay.

00:52:46 Gettina ready now for[br]the first ex chanae.
00:52:51 Stick!
00:52:52 Down the backstretch they ao.[br]Columbus in four, John Paul in five.

00:53:03 ...moves them into the lead as we[br]aet ready for the second ex chanae.
00:53:09 In the far turn, John Paul in five,[br]Columbus in four, neck and neck.
00:53:18 Gettina ready[br]for the anchor lea.
00:53:21 Stick! Stick!
00:53:22 Tyrene Jay for John Paul...
00:53:25 ...and Robert "The Rocket" Simmons[br]for Columbus.
00:53:31 -It is John Paul followed by Columbus.[br]-First place, 39.58.
00:53:36 Second place, 39.60.
00:53:38 -Second place, 39.60.[br]-Correct.
00:53:41 The next race on the track[br]will be the 1500 metres.
00:53:46 That event is scheduled in 10 minutes.[br]Visit the concession stand...
00:53:51 Ain't no next time.[br]All I'm saying is this.
00:53:54 I got a lot riding on this. I'm not[br]about to let my stats get blown.
00:53:59 You the only weak link on this team.
00:54:04 You listening to me?
00:54:06 Fool, all you is, all you ever gonna[br]be, is a runner. Like a horse.
00:54:12 You're a slave,[br]too ignorant to know it.
00:54:15 -Who you calling ignorant, bitch?[br]-Hey!
00:54:17 -We're a team, man![br]-Fuck that shit!
00:54:20 We gotta stick together, black men!
00:54:23 Get your shit together, bitch![br]Stupid bitch!
00:54:28 I like that.
00:54:30 I like your beautif ul hair,[br]your eyes, your lips.
00:54:34 Look at this f ool with his cave bitch.[br]It's a damn shame, man.
00:54:40 Don't that make you upset[br]as a black woman?
00:54:44 I don't want him.
00:54:47 Yeah, I can dig that.[br]He's weak anyway.
00:54:51 Miss Deja.[br]Where you f rom? Texas, right?
00:54:55 -I see you did your research.[br]-Not enough.
00:55:01 -God.[br]-I could always know more.
00:55:16 What, you shy?
00:55:17 -No. Are you?[br]-I stepped to you, didn't I?
00:55:20 I've been seeing you on the track,[br]having a little attitude.
00:55:24 I seen you too,[br]acting like you all that.
00:55:27 -I'm not acting like...[br]-Mr. Big Stuff. Yes, you do.
00:55:30 You be like:
00:55:33 -Running f or your life.[br]-So you be looking at me?
00:55:37 -I don't look at you.[br]-You just imitated my f orm.
00:55:40 You be looking at me, right?
00:55:44 A little bit,[br]but we're on the same team.
00:55:51 -I been looking at you too.[br]-God.
00:55:57 -What dorm you staying in?[br]-Why you wanna know where I live?
00:56:01 -I wanted to get you home safe.[br]-I'll be okay.
00:56:05 -There's a lot of crazies here.[br]-Goodness.
00:56:08 I'll guard your body.[br]Be your bodyguard.
00:56:13 How do you feel knowing this country[br]doesn't belong to you any longer?
00:56:19 I mean,[br]what do you think of that?
00:56:23 How do you feel knowing that[br]when you graduate f rom college...
00:56:29 ...you might not get a job because[br]of your skin colour?
00:56:33 Because of some quota.
00:56:35 People don't realize how f ar down[br]the drain America has gone.
00:56:39 What do you think about that, Remy?
00:56:45 I guess I never thought[br]about that, man.
00:56:49 It's different here than I thought[br]it was gonna be.
00:56:56 Seems like everybody's[br]sticking to their own...
00:56:59 ...taking up f or their own.
00:57:04 I don't know anybody down here.
00:57:10 It's different, man. You know.
00:57:14 -All I got is me.[br]-No, man.
00:57:18 And me. We're brothers by blood.
00:57:23 Yeah, you got me too, Remy.
00:57:29 I think I'm gonna cry.
00:57:30 Shut the f uck up, Knocko.[br]Show the man some respect.
00:57:35 That's cool, Scott.
00:57:36 That's pure Aryan blood[br]you're talking to.
00:57:40 No, no, no, you're right.
00:57:43 This is brotherhood, Remy.[br]Welcome home.
00:57:47 -Thanks.[br]-See, Remy, this is your f amily now.
00:57:51 And if there should be anything at all[br]that you wanna talk about...
00:57:56 ...then I want you to come to me[br]or to us.
00:57:59 If there's one thing I want you[br]to leave thinking about tonight...
00:58:03 ...it's that we take care of our own.
00:58:09 Thanks, man.
00:58:15 Thanks, Scott.
00:58:18 Run-on. Run-on.[br]Fragment. Fragment. Fragment.
00:58:24 -ls this a period or a comma?[br]-That's a lot of red ink.
00:58:29 -Do you want help?[br]-I'm here.
00:58:34 Malik, you gotta get this to flow,[br]and right now it's not flowing.
00:58:40 Right here,[br]that's a really good point...
00:58:43 ...but you gotta f ollow it up[br]with a concise explanation.
00:58:47 What do you mean?
00:58:52 Malik, when you write an essay,[br]you gotta f ollow a certain f ormat.
00:58:56 You start with your thesis statement...
00:58:59 ...and you have to always use[br]transitional phrases.
00:59:03 And don't use the same word[br]every single time.
00:59:07 Change it up.[br]Professors hate that.
00:59:10 You should use a thesaurus.[br]And where's your outline?
00:59:22 We got a lot of work to do.
00:59:44 -ls something wrong?[br]-No.
00:59:46 -Are you sure?[br]-Yeah.
00:59:50 I'm fine.
01:00:00 I am af raid it is unclear.
01:00:04 But... I don't understand.
01:00:09 Miss Connor, you don't appear to take[br]any kind of position in this paper.
01:00:15 I thought that, when you write, you're[br]supposed to be as objective as possible.
01:00:21 That is a rule of journalism.
01:00:24 It is often taught[br]and very rarely practised.
01:00:27 This, however,[br]is a political science course.
01:00:30 If you wish to write[br]about objectivity...
01:00:33 ...write about its use in modern[br]politics in your view.
01:00:39 That'd make a good paper.[br]I'll write that down.
01:00:43 Oh, Christ Jesus.
01:00:47 What?
01:00:49 In f uture, Miss Connor,[br]please find your own thesis.
01:00:54 I am looking f or evidence[br]of original thought.
01:00:58 You are not here to simply recycle[br]dates and f acts f rom the past.
01:01:03 One's primary purpose[br]at university level...
01:01:06 ...should be to learn how to think.
01:01:12 Now, question:
01:01:18 Did you write this paper?
01:01:23 You really feel like insulting[br]my intelligence, don't you?
01:01:26 I worked my ass off on that paper.[br]I rewrote it three times.
01:01:31 -Shouldn't be one misspelled word.[br]-Okay, Mr. Williams, I believe you.
01:01:40 Are you having problems[br]here at Columbus?
01:01:46 It's all right.
01:01:49 I got a problem with the way f ools[br]be tripping when they see a black f ace.
01:01:54 Someone spit in your f ace[br]when you first came to campus?
01:01:59 Was there a cross burned[br]outside your dormitory?
01:02:02 No. I know what you're[br]trying to get at.
01:02:05 Just 'cause it ain't up in my f ace,[br]that don't mean it's not happening.
01:02:09 It's less physical now.[br]It's more mental.
01:02:12 I gotta run and study, man.
01:02:16 I don't see these white f olks worrying[br]about nothing but going to class...
01:02:21 ...talking about skiing.[br]They don't have the same worries.
01:02:25 Then your problem is financial.[br]Not racial, but economic.
01:02:32 These type of problems[br]can be worked out.
01:02:36 For example,[br]you are a runner, are you not?
01:02:41 -One of the best.[br]-A big-time track star, huh?
01:02:46 All right.
01:02:47 Let us say you are running a race...
01:02:50 ...and you suspect the opposing team[br]has a member who is f aster, stronger...
01:02:56 ...more big-time than yourself.
01:02:59 What do you do then?[br]Do you leave the track?
01:03:02 Hell, no.
01:03:06 -What do you do?[br]-Run f aster.
01:04:41 -We're having a rally.[br]-Out here?
01:04:43 Yeah, and we also have[br]these meetings as well...
01:04:46 ...where a group of women get together[br]and discuss all sorts of issues...
01:04:51 -...about sexuality...[br]-Oh, wow.
01:04:54 ...student security,[br]all sorts of things.
01:04:57 -I think it'd be great if you'd come.[br]-Thank you.
01:05:05 -What?[br]-I said, can I have a flyer?
01:05:08 It's f or Students[br]f or a Non-Sexist Society.
01:05:13 -Wayne, right?[br]-Yeah.
01:05:15 -lt's a women's group.[br]-That's kind of a contradiction.
01:05:20 You want a non-sexist society...
01:05:22 ...but you won't give me a flyer[br]because I'm a man? That's not cool.
01:05:27 Why do you really want to come?
01:05:30 -Your hair looks better that way.[br]-Thanks.
01:05:32 -You're welcome.[br]-God.
01:06:18 Warrior representation. Yes.
01:06:22 No means no! No means no![br]No means no!
01:07:00 I'm a f reshman.
01:07:06 And...
01:07:11 I was raped.
01:07:15 No, we didn't.
01:07:16 We'll have to think about[br]what we're doing next week.
01:07:18 -You look cute.[br]-Do I?
01:07:34 Happy Halloween, brother!
01:07:37 Be sure and stay away f rom the white[br]girls f rom now on. I know you will.
01:07:51 What are you doing?[br]Let's go get some f ucking candy!
01:07:56 -That was awesome.[br]-lt was good.
01:07:59 There are things[br]we could've done better...
01:08:02 ...but I was proud of you.
01:08:06 -Thank you.[br]-Yeah.
01:08:09 -I feel so much better now.[br]-Good.
01:08:12 Look, you know, I could just...
01:08:16 Why don't I just stay[br]with you tonight?
01:08:22 We could stay up and talk or...
01:08:26 What do you think?
01:08:29 Are you sure you're ready f or that?
01:08:36 Don't do it just because[br]you're f ascinated.
01:08:43 I want you to be sure.
01:08:49 Good night.
01:08:51 Good night.
01:09:01 So...
01:09:03 ...what's up with your f riend?
01:09:06 -She's weird.[br]-She's not weird. She's just different.
01:09:11 Yeah, and I bet she wants to show you[br]just how different she can be, huh?
01:09:17 I'm tired of running and studying.
01:09:20 It's too hard to do both.[br]I feel like a slave.
01:09:23 They wouldn't give a f uck about me[br]if I wasn't running f or this school.
01:09:28 I'm tired of feeling[br]like a thoroughbred.
01:09:32 Why you always gotta[br]take stuff so f ar?
01:09:35 People would die to be where you are,[br]and you tripping.
01:09:39 You have the opportunity to go[br]to school, and it's here. So take it.
01:09:45 I don't see security stopping you[br]on campus to see your I.D.
01:09:50 You're all hunky-dory[br]with your scholarship.
01:09:53 They'll let that harmless black woman[br]through easier than a man.
01:09:56 -So you think I got it easy?[br]-Hell, yeah.
01:09:59 -Easier than me.[br]-You know them girls I stay with?
01:10:03 Every time something comes up missing,[br]who you think they look at?
01:10:08 -And?[br]-I feel like fighting.
01:10:11 -I feel like beating people up.[br]-Why don't you?
01:10:14 It's a waste of time.[br]Instead, I fight with this:
01:10:19 And I'm getting mine.
01:10:22 You gotta stop doing this all the time:[br]And start doing this:
01:10:27 Quit worrying about[br]what people are thinking.
01:10:30 Yeah, but it still ain't the same.
01:10:33 Listen.
01:10:37 You a woman.[br]I'm a black man.
01:10:43 You're safe.
01:10:45 I'm a threat, educated or not.
01:10:50 You ain't educated yet.
01:10:52 Crazy!
01:12:21 Hey. Kristen.
01:12:33 -Can we talk?[br]-Sure. Here?
01:12:45 -Don't put too much lipstick on.[br]-Why not?
01:12:48 You don't want to look like a tramp.[br]You'll look desperate.
01:12:53 Here, blot it some.
01:13:00 -ls that better?[br]-Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like that.
01:13:05 Is that him?[br]Well, all right, Kristen.
01:13:09 I was getting worried about you.
01:13:18 -Where'd you get these, man?[br]-A buddy of mine in law enf orcement.
01:13:23 Fucking gun-control department.
01:13:28 These guns all suck.
01:13:30 It don't matter as long as[br]they do the job.
01:13:34 -Do you want a beer?[br]-Yeah.
01:13:40 Check this out, man.
01:13:44 This is a gun, man.
01:13:48 -Glock 9 mm.[br]-Shut up.
01:13:52 Pumped gas two years[br]to buy this. Laser sighting.
01:13:55 Fucking Rambo, man![br]No way I can miss.
01:14:01 -This is power.[br]-Don't point that f ucking shit at me!
01:14:05 I know how to handle guns, man.[br]I been shooting since I was 9.
01:14:09 Don't ever point a gun at me[br]ever again. You'll be sorry.
01:14:14 Who taught you how to shoot?
01:14:17 -My pa.[br]-Your pa?
01:14:20 My pa's a survivalist.[br]Used to kick my ass every day.
01:14:26 He's always talking about[br]the world coming to an end.
01:14:31 Do you like to hike?
01:14:33 I've never really tried it.
01:14:36 Yeah? You should go.[br]Around here there's beautif ul hills.
01:14:41 I try and go everyday. I was there[br]this morning. The light was beautif ul.
01:14:46 What if there's snakes?[br]Hey, Monet.
01:14:50 Hey.
01:14:52 -How's it going?[br]-Cool. You all right?
01:14:56 Yeah, I'm fine.
01:14:59 -Hi, Taryn.[br]-Hi, Monet. How you doing?
01:15:02 -See you later.[br]-Yeah, see you guys later. Bye.
01:15:12 Girl!
01:15:18 I like it that you understand me.
01:15:24 There are things that...
01:15:29 ...I don't have to say because...
01:15:34 ...you just know how I feel.
01:16:17 That was nice.
01:16:25 I think you're nice.
01:16:50 You're trembling.
01:16:53 Are you af raid?
01:16:56 Yes.
01:17:05 Why?
01:17:08 I won't hurt you.
01:17:12 I don't want you to do anything[br]that you don't wanna do.
01:17:34 I know.
01:17:46 I want to.
01:17:55 Are you ready?
01:18:06 Just a second.
01:19:07 As a black man in America,[br]my stress comes f rom everywhere.
01:19:11 Recognize.[br]Take a look around you.
01:19:15 Look at this.[br]Columbus disgusts me.
01:19:18 Fool wasn't nothing but a thief,[br]mass murderer.
01:19:22 Slaughtered Native Americans, we got a[br]holiday and a university named f or him?
01:19:28 We're supposed to be learning their[br]westernised thoughts...
01:19:31 ...only to learn that in their eyes,[br]we're lower class. Always.
01:19:35 Class is a state of mind.
01:19:37 History's proven you can be[br]the smartest, run the f astest...
01:19:41 ...they still think we inferior.
01:19:47 What's that shirt, man?
01:19:49 You support the Black Panthers?
01:19:52 -Yeah. And?[br]-That's reverse racism, man.
01:19:57 1995, coon.
01:19:59 -What?[br]-Malik, come on...
01:20:02 -What?[br]-Stop.
01:20:03 I'm gonna kick your ass,[br]whatever ass you got left, f ool!
01:20:08 Yeah, all right.[br]You can run, but you can't hide!
01:20:12 "The sharp separatina wall[br]between master and slave fell.
01:20:16 The Aryan aave up the purity of his[br]blood and, therefore, he also lost...
01:20:20 ... the place in the paradise[br]he had created for himself.
01:20:24 He became submeraed in the[br]race mixture. He aradually lost..."
01:20:46 What's up, man?
01:20:54 Man, I gotta admit, you've been real[br]polite about staying out of my way.
01:20:59 But you ain't been honest.
01:21:02 I figure, it ain't what a person say,[br]it's what they think.
01:21:08 So in my mind...
01:21:10 ...you been walking around calling me[br]a nigger in your head.
01:21:14 Am I right?
01:21:16 -I don't have nothing to say to you.[br]-I think you do.
01:21:21 Say what you feel.[br]You think I'm a nigger?
01:21:24 Then be a man and call me one[br]to my f ace.
01:21:38 You're just a punk-ass white boy[br]with a f ucked-up haircut.
01:21:44 Bitch.
01:21:56 Fuck!
01:22:08 Fuck!
01:22:22 Fuck you![br]You don't f ucking scare me!
01:23:50 This is f ucked-up.[br]This is really f ucked-up.
01:23:56 What's wrong with you?
01:23:58 I don't give a shit[br]what you do with your stuff...
01:24:02 ...but this is my stuff, man!
01:24:04 -Know how selfish that is?[br]-What are you gonna do?
01:24:08 Jeez, I don't know. I'm gonna[br]kick your ass. What does that mean?
01:24:12 Why don't you get your shit[br]and move out, man?
01:24:16 Ex cuse me?[br]Why don't I get my shit and move out?
01:24:19 -You moved in here.[br]-What are you gonna do?
01:24:23 Look, why don't we just sit down?
01:24:25 Why don't we just f ucking[br]stop this and talk about it?
01:24:29 I don't wanna talk to you.[br]I don't need to talk.
01:24:32 Don't you know I'm superior to you?
01:24:34 Don't you know I came[br]f rom the master race?
01:24:38 -You're nothing. Don't tell me what...[br]-Get off, crazy motherf ucker!
01:24:43 All right, motherf ucker?[br]Go to sleep.
01:24:46 Calm your ass down. Calm down.[br]What is wrong with you, man?
01:24:52 -What's going on?[br]-I gotta get out of here.
01:24:55 -Fuck you![br]-What the f uck?
01:24:56 You damn Jews and niggers[br]stick together.
01:25:00 You all work against me,[br]the pure, white, Christian man.
01:25:03 Don't you know he controls you, nigger?[br]You ain't nothing without them.
01:25:07 You're nothing![br]You're a slave.
01:25:10 I'll take my f ucking belt off, man.[br]I'll make you my f ucking monkey.
01:25:14 -Get on the floor.[br]-Relax.
01:25:17 Get on the floor!
01:25:18 You're not white.[br]You're Jewish. You're nothing.
01:25:22 You're not me![br]What are you gonna do?
01:25:25 Dirty nigger.[br]Got something to say now?
01:25:28 I'm not f ooling.[br]You got something to say now?
01:25:32 -Jesus Christ! Fucking relax![br]-Who's the man now, big man?
01:25:36 Fucking hotshot ape.[br]You're nothing, Malik! You're nothing!
01:25:41 You're dead. You're dead.
01:25:54 Don't move, f ucker.
01:26:01 You're all gonna die.[br]You're gonna die, monkey!
01:26:06 He had a f ucking gun![br]A f ucking gun!
01:26:10 I'm gonna call secur... He broke the[br]phone. We gotta call security.
01:26:15 -I'm gonna get this f ool![br]-Where are you going?
01:26:28 -Stop. Not so f ast.[br]-Get out of my way.
01:26:31 I'm trying to catch this dude[br]who just pulled a gun on me!
01:26:35 -Let's see I.D.[br]-You don't need no I.D.! Out of my way!
01:26:47 No! That's the wrong guy![br]That's the wrong guy!
01:26:51 -Who are you?[br]-Get the f uck out of here!
01:27:02 Charlie, look what I f ound[br]in the kid's room.
01:27:08 You believe this?[br]Do me a f avour, will you?
01:27:11 See if you can find a name or a picture[br]or an I.D. in his room.
01:27:16 You bet.
01:27:21 All right, let's break it up.[br]Everything is fine now.
01:27:25 What do you mean, " Break it up"?[br]Look at those white f olks there.
01:27:29 You ain't telling them to go.
01:27:31 White boy pull a gun out in his f ace[br]and you ask us to break it up?
01:27:36 Y'all got some nerves.[br]Fuck you! We ain't going nowhere.
01:27:40 If they can stand over there together,[br]we can stand here together.
01:27:45 Now you go find the asshole[br]that pulled a gun on this man's f ace.
01:27:53 Get those kids to move out[br]so we can clear this area.
01:27:57 Okay, let's go.[br]Break it up. Come on.
01:28:00 Show's over. Back to your rooms.[br]Nothing to see here.
01:28:04 What do you think[br]happened here?
01:28:06 -What's going on?[br]-I don't know.
01:28:11 It's Malik.
01:28:16 What happened?
01:28:18 -He doesn't feel like talking now.[br]-Can I help?
01:28:23 What's that all about?
01:28:28 I don't know.
01:28:34 Hey, man. Malik, wait up.
01:28:37 What's up, man?[br]Why'd you move all your stuff out?
01:28:41 I'm staying with some homies now.
01:28:44 I thought you and David[br]might want to live together.
01:28:48 David doesn't even know[br]if he's going to school next semester.
01:28:51 He's all depressed. His parents[br]have him going to a shrink.
01:28:56 -I think he's lost it, myself.[br]-Listen, Wayne.
01:28:59 I think you're cool, man.
01:29:02 We ain't never had no beef,[br]outside of your dirty clothes...
01:29:05 ...and opposite taste in music.
01:29:07 But I'm just...[br]I'm at the point where...
01:29:11 ...I feel safer and more comf ortable[br]with my own people.
01:29:15 I ain't come here to have[br]no white boy pull a gun in my f ace.
01:29:19 I could have got that in the ghetto.
01:29:22 Seems like this system is setup[br]towards maintaining white supremacy.
01:29:27 I didn't come here to learn that...
01:29:29 I understand you're pissed.[br]But I'm not like that, Malik.
01:29:36 You treat me like I'm Remy.
01:29:38 I'm not like that.[br]I'm no white supremacist!
01:29:41 Is that what you see?
01:29:44 I'm different.
01:29:46 So are you. You know?
01:29:55 No, I'm not. Neither are you.[br]That's the problem.
01:30:01 Peace.
01:30:08 What are you two doing[br]sitting there? Plotting?
01:30:15 Yeah, we're plotting.[br]Plotting to steal.
01:30:21 To steal what?
01:30:24 -To steal the inf ormation. All of it.[br]-Yeah, but whose inf ormation is it?
01:30:31 The more you learn about this system,[br]the more upset you get.
01:30:38 Oh, my dear Mr. Williams.
01:30:43 Peppermint?
01:30:48 Inf ormation is power.
01:30:53 If you don't have the inf ormation,[br]one cannot seize power.
01:31:00 You need to think about[br]becoming mentally competitive.
01:31:04 Being black does not f ree you[br]f rom being a responsible individual.
01:31:08 But being a responsible individual[br]don't f ree you f rom being black.
01:31:13 -That's right.[br]-Poor, misguided soul.
01:31:17 You have yet to learn[br]the rules of this game.
01:31:21 -He will.[br]-I don't want to.
01:31:24 See, I'm smart enough to know[br]it's not my game to play.
01:31:28 I'm just a pawn like everybody else.
01:31:30 Used intelligently, a pawn can create[br]a checkmate, Mr. Williams.
01:31:35 Or become a very[br]powerf ul player himself.
01:31:39 Don't you understand?[br]This is all a game. All of this.
01:31:45 Like basketball, f ootball,[br]Mr. Big-Time Track Star, a game.
01:31:51 You play it to win.
01:31:52 Because in the real world, no one wants[br]to hear ex cuses or empty rhetoric.
01:31:59 They want to know[br]if you have a plan.
01:32:08 Right.
01:32:11 Mr. Williams, Mr. White,[br]good afternoon.
01:32:16 All right.
01:32:19 Mr. White?
01:32:23 -You had his class bef ore?[br]-Yeah, I had his class once.
01:32:28 Maybe twice.
01:32:31 Let's roll.
01:32:33 " Mr. Williams, do you have a plan?[br]Nobody wants to hear that bullshit."
01:32:38 Somebody's got to do something[br]about how tense it is.
01:32:42 We can't let the campus go crazy[br]because of the actions of some psycho.
01:32:47 What do you mean, "we"?[br]"We" don't have to do anything.
01:32:51 Just because you and I get along[br]doesn't mean everybody else has to.
01:32:56 Get that "We Are the World"[br]stuff out of your head...
01:32:59 ...'cause it is not gonna happen,[br]not on this campus.
01:33:16 Hi, here's a flyer f or the Peace Fest.[br]Take a flyer.
01:33:21 Come to the Peace Fest.
01:34:24 -Faggot.[br]-Suck my ass.
01:34:26 -Fuck.[br]-Fuck you.
01:34:28 -Fuck me? Why don't you shut up?[br]-Don't start that.
01:34:32 Why did you drop out of school?
01:34:39 I never really wanted[br]to go anyway, man.
01:34:42 All's it was was an ex cuse[br]to get out of Idaho.
01:34:46 You know?
01:34:49 What's the point? The gooks and[br]towelheads get the engineering jobs.
01:34:54 Leave the white man in the cold.[br]Goddamn affirmative action shit. Right?
01:35:00 You really should not have dropped out[br]of school. You hear me?
01:35:05 We need more people like you[br]to become doctors, lawyers, engineers.
01:35:10 You listen, you get it together and[br]you do something f or your own people.
01:35:15 Your own country.
01:35:16 If you don't, you ain't nothing[br]but a race traitor yourself, you hear?
01:35:21 Fuck you, you big-eared f aggot!
01:35:22 Fuck you, you big-eared f aggot!
01:35:23 No, you know what?[br]You are worse than a f ucking nigger!
01:36:36 -What's up?[br]-ls Malik here?
01:36:38 Yeah. You didn't bring no homies?[br]Got any sisters?
01:36:44 -What's up?[br]-You got crazy f riends.
01:36:49 What happened?
01:36:54 Skinhead f ool who[br]pulled a gun on me...
01:36:57 I beat him.[br]I'm the man. I'm God!
01:37:00 Put something cold on it.
01:37:02 -I don't need no ice.[br]-Put the ice on it!
01:37:08 I had his ass like this:
01:37:15 Why you fighting like some thug?[br]This is college.
01:37:19 I don't know about that no more.
01:37:22 About to take a semester off,[br]let the shit cool.
01:37:26 It's about this, nigger! See this?[br]Yo, it's about this black fist, nigger!
01:37:32 We gonna pound[br]their motherf ucking ass...
01:37:35 ...until they give in, motherf ucker!
01:37:39 You're gonna drop out.
01:37:41 -Did I say that?[br]-I see it in your eyes.
01:37:44 I said I'm gonna take me a break.[br]Look at me!
01:37:47 -Look what they did to my f ucking f ace![br]-What's wrong with you?
01:38:00 It's a war, man.[br]This is the first battle in the war.
01:38:05 I'm telling you, man. Remy's right,[br]man. It's their gang against our gang.
01:38:12 Fucking Malik.[br]I'm gonna get him. Fuck him!
01:38:15 Fuck all those f ucking niggers.[br]They're all gonna f ucking die.
01:38:19 Fucking Malik's a piece of shit.[br]It's all right. We're coming back, man.
01:38:26 We're coming back. Niggers, spics,[br]the f ucking mud people, they'll get it.
01:38:31 -Fucking idiots.[br]-Fuck all those niggers, man!
01:38:37 Hey, yo, trooper.[br]What's up, man?
01:38:40 What's up with your girl?[br]She out there looking kinda bugged.
01:38:45 It ain't nothing.[br]She's just tripping, I guess.
01:38:51 It's all good, though.
01:38:55 Them f ools.[br]They so lucky they called security.
01:38:58 I was fit to kill one of them white[br]boys. You know what I'm saying?
01:39:03 Whoa, shit![br]Fucking white boy.
01:39:07 See how he swole my shit up?[br]Knuckles all f at and shit.
01:39:12 It's all right, though.[br]Whipped his ass so bad...
01:39:16 ...his stepmom's gonna feel me[br]f or the next three birthdays.
01:39:20 Look what his homeboy did[br]to your head.
01:39:23 What you talking about? This shit?[br]He ain't f ading nothing over here.
01:39:28 -One ass-whooping, but they still won.[br]-How you figure that?
01:39:33 Look around you, man.
01:39:36 They own this shit.
01:39:39 They own this couch you sitting on,[br]them shoes on your feet...
01:39:44 ...this building, this school,[br]this country, you!
01:39:50 We're behind enemy lines, dog.
01:39:54 One beat-down will never compare[br]to 439 years of captivity. Never.
01:40:01 You don't know shit, f reshman.
01:40:08 This is a war. This is the opening[br]stages of World War III.
01:40:11 I said, shut the f uck up!
01:40:16 I'm tired of hearing your bullshit. I'm[br]tired of you trying to rev everybody up.

01:40:40 Why you testing me?
01:40:43 Remy, you ever shot somebody bef ore?
01:40:48 Actually, better yet,[br]you ever shoot a piece of meat?
01:40:53 Seen what bullets do to flesh?
01:40:58 Them f ucking niggers out there,[br]them f ucking little monkeys...
01:41:03 ...those gangbangers...
01:41:06 ...are training every f ucking day[br]and every night shooting each other.
01:41:17 They're ready f or war.
01:41:20 But are you?
01:41:24 If it all went down today...
01:41:28 ...which one of you would have[br]the balls to shoot a nigger?
01:41:31 -I would.[br]-You would?
01:41:34 Would you?
01:41:38 I have.
01:41:42 -I'd do it.[br]-Yeah?
01:41:44 That's right. I'd do it.
01:41:47 All right, then.
01:41:51 -What's his problem?[br]-My f ucking head's killing me.
01:41:54 Everybody says things one way,[br]and you talk to me that way?
01:41:56 This is my blood, man.[br]It's white blood.
01:42:01 What you got there, Scott?
01:42:15 Go on and kill one of them, man.[br]Big shot.
01:42:20 -Are you really gonna do it?[br]-Yeah, he's gonna!

01:42:30 Right between the nigger's[br]f ucking eyes!
01:42:33 -I'll do it, man.[br]-All right, Remy!
01:42:36 Come here. Hey! Hey!
01:42:41 There are many ways to fight a battle.[br]Different f ronts f or different people.
01:42:46 Some people use their mind,[br]some use words...
01:42:49 -...some use fists.[br]-This is my f ront.

01:43:38 Vikina Two to Vikina One.
01:43:42 -Yeah, Viking One.[br]-Let's do it, man.
01:43:45 I'm gonna kill communication.[br]This looks suspicious. All right?
01:43:53 For Eurocentric indoctrination...
01:43:55 ...is learning in an environment[br]that is mostly white.
01:44:00 If the Dred Scott decision[br]was retried in a contemporary court...
01:44:04 ... the decision would be the same...
01:44:06 ...meanina that a black man[br]would still have no riahts...
01:44:10 ... that a white man, by law,[br]would be bound to respect.
01:44:13 The result would be the same[br]no matter what the law states...
01:44:16 ...because it was not written by and[br]for the benefit of African-Americans.
01:44:19 The credo[br]"And liberty and justice for all"...
01:44:21 ...is a falsehood that has been widely[br]ianored and needs to be addressed.
01:45:49 That was great.
01:45:50 Let's give a big round of applause[br]f or Eve's Plum.
01:46:08 The purpose of this gathering[br]is to bring together everyone...
01:46:12 ...so we can have f un[br]despite our differences...
01:46:15 ...whether they be racial,[br]cultural or sexual.
01:46:19 This is a celebration of the[br]commonality of these differences.
01:46:24 There are people in this country who[br]have profited f rom keeping us apart.
01:46:48 Do you feel better?
01:46:51 I'll feel better tonight.

01:53:24 It's okay. We know. Put it down.
01:53:27 -lt's over.[br]-No.
01:53:29 Don't do this. Put it down.
01:53:32 I wanted to build things.[br]I wanted to be an engineer.
01:53:35 -You still can.[br]-Stop lying!
01:53:38 Please, put the gun down. It's okay.
01:53:42 It hurts.

01:55:53 This is Columbus University,[br]a great centre of higher learning.
01:55:58 But the lesson taught here today...
01:56:00 ...was one in how good things[br]can go tragically wrong.
01:56:04 A multicultural peace fest organized[br]in the interest of campus unity...
01:56:09 ...has ended with three people dead.
01:56:12 One of them was a gunman who took his[br]own life after killing two students.
01:56:18 The mayor...
01:56:19 ...is on his way to the campus[br]as we speak.
01:56:22 University administration[br]has had nothina whatsoever to say.
01:56:27 Wow. You know what that is?
