Well, at least he was straightforward.
This is the Black Lives Matter chapter head saying that if he doesn't get his way, white people are going to be in for a long, long, hard slog, especially white men.
You said burn it down.
It's time.
So that makes me think that you want to burn it down.
I said, if this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it, all right?
And I could be speaking figuratively.
I could be speaking literally.
It's a matter of interpretation.
Let's face it.
It's been a tough week to be a white man.
It's like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.
Now, for some reason, white women are good to go.
Maybe it's because they're more...empathetic?
Can I get you something?
It's your mofo butter laying into the bone, jacking me up.
Tight me.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Cuddy say can't hang.
Oh, Stewardess, I speak jive.
Oh, good.
He said that he's in great pain and he wants to know if you can help him.
All right, would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine.
Just hang loose blood.
She gonna catch up on the rebound on the med side.
No kidding, this New York Black Matters chapter head says...
If this country doesn't give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it, alright?
And I don't think he means this kind of burning.
I think he means... ...
Either way, not good.
I could be speaking figuratively.
I could be speaking literally.
It's all a subject of interpretation.
I could be speaking figuratively.
I could be speaking literally.
I could be speaking figuratively.
I could be speaking literally.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
I have an idea that just came to me.
Instead of saying I could be speaking figuratively, I could be speaking literally, why don't you tell us?
Let's be very real, and let's observe the history of the 1960s.
When black people were rioting, we had their highest growth in wealth, in property ownership.
Think about the last few weeks.
Since we started protesting, there have been eight cops fired across the country.
Now, I'm not exactly sure what the hell he was saying right then, but it sure sounded impressive, didn't it?
Allow me to partologize myself.
Suppositorily speaking, my incarceration has forced, you understand, the ventilation of, shall I say, my derriere, and upon my discharge, I will evacuate, excuse me, ejacutate my mind to the prophylactic of the bowels of society.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.
Now, this white Black Lives Matter gentleman apparently had a dispute with a black resident of a neighborhood who was not real happy with the Black Lives Matter signs.
And the following relatively kind, gentle exchange took place.
You're tired of standing on the fence.
Why are you taking it down?
Why are you taking it down?
Everyone agrees!
No, no, not everyone.
Oh, because I live right there and I'm sick of f***ing seeing it.
What?
You can't even read it.
You can't even see that.
Hey, relax!
Get the f*** out, bro!
It's my house right there!
Go get the f*** out, bro!
Get the f*** out of here, bro!
I live right there!
Get the f*** out of here, bro!
Then go home!
Go home!
Go home now, fool!
Get the f*** out of here!
Hell no!
This is motherf***ing luck, bro!
Get the f*** out of here then!
I'm not.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Get your .
You're lucky I'll break your face too.
You deserve it.
All right.
You gonna frosty?
Nah, nah.
I don't need to get another with you.
I got kids right here.
Wait, just a second.
Wait, just a second.
I don't need to do .
I don't even get punk right now.
Get out of here.
Get out of here.
What are you doing?
What are you feeling?
What's going on in your .
Like this, huh?
I'm tired of it.
I'm tired of all of it.
Worry about you and your family.
Stay the f*ck out of it.
Got it.
Let me catch you here again, bro.
Be pretty in front of your kids, man.
Oh, yeah?
You think I'm f*cking playing?
I'll snatch you out your whip, bro.
Shut the f*ck up and keep your poor, poor, poor wheels.
You're a f*ck.
Wow.
Now let's go over the demands made by Black Lives Matter.
Although I must tell you, it doesn't appear that these demands were all that well thought out.
He's making it happen!
He goes a knock!
No, I'm not!
Now, to be fair, these are not demands.
The co-founder of Black Lives Matter says these are merely suggestions about what she wants to happen to white men.
Wipe them out.
Let's face it, statues coming down, people having to resign from their jobs because they made politically insensitive statements.
It has not been a good week to be a white man.
Looks like I picked the wrong week, Chris Sniffin' Blue.
Now, in essence, Black Lives Matter wants white people to turn over their property.
And if they don't...
Ow!
Christ, Jake, take it easy, man.
Ow!
Jesus Christ!
Ah, s***!
Hey, fuck!
Jesus Christ!
Son of a bitch!
Oh, you penguin!
Now, let's go over the 10 demands.
Pardon me.
Suggestions.
White people, if you don't have any descendants, will your property to a black or brown family, preferably one that lives in generational poverty.
White people, if you're inheriting property you intend to sell upon acceptance, give it to a black or brown family.
You're bound to make that money in some other white privileged way.
You know, I know exactly the kind of white privileged person to whom she is referring.
Now, listen to me very carefully, please.
You see, when you have capital, you are able to derive...
No, I will attend to the check in a moment, Mr.
Graham.
I understand about the check.
I'm trying to explain something to you that is terribly important.
When we spend more per month or per year than we have in income, you must then dip into the capital, eventually exhausting the capital and, of course, therefore, the income.
Do you see what I mean?
Mr.
Beckett, this check must be paid.
Mr.
Graham, I'm...
And at once.
I'm trying to explain to you that it is impossible to pay the check because your expenses have exceeded your income to such a point that you have exhausted your capital.
Now you have no capital, no income, therefore no funds for the check, you see.
Don't treat me as though I were a child, Mr.
Beckett.
No, I'm not.
I am as aware of what it means to have no capital as you are.
Oh, good.
Now, what about this check?
Well...
Are you entirely sure that you really do understand what I mean by capital, Mr.
Graham?
You see, you've exhausted the capital.
I can't cover the check because the check is for $6,000 and you don't have $6,000.
In other words, you don't have $60.
Come to the point, Beckett.
The point, Mr.
Graham, is that you don't have any money.
The capital and the income are exhausted, and you no longer have any money.
I wish there was some other way I could say it.
How could I put it?
That money, you have no capital, you have no income.
No, it's only money.
You have no money.
There's no other way to put it.
You mean I have no money?
Yes, that's what I mean.
You have no money.
Number three.
If you are a developer or realty owner of multi-family housing, build a sustainable complex in a black or brown blighted neighborhood and let black and brown people live in it for free.
End of quote.
Two, three.
You get a call!
Yes!
Not to change the subject, but why are anybody other than Democrats paying for these reparations?
After all, remember the 1924 Democratic Convention?
I'm sure you do.
At the National Democratic Convention in New York in 1924, it is estimated Number four.
White people, if you can afford to downsize, give up the home you're in to a black or brown family.
downsize?
Never gonna have.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Number five.
White people, if any of the people you intend to leave your property to are racist a-holes, change the will and will your property to a black or brown family, end of quote.
Because Lord knows, no white person earned his money fairly, right?
He's wrong.
It don't take much strength to pull the trigger, but try and get up every morning, day after day, and work for a living.
Let's see him try that.
Then we'll see who's the real tough guy.
The working man is the tough guy.
Number six.
White people, re-budget your monthly so you can donate to black funds for land purchasing.
What have you got for me?
Any jobs?
I don't have anything right now.
What I do have, you wouldn't be interested in.
Why don't you check back with me tomorrow?
Well, you don't know that.
I'm very interested.
What do you have?
Coming from your position and your salary, you wouldn't be interested in it.
Well, you don't know me.
I might love it.
What is it?
A crossing guard.
What is that?
Wait, a crossing guard?
A crossing guard.
At a school?
Where else have you seen them work?
I just didn't know if there were different kinds.
Um...
What does that pay?
$100,000.
What does it really pay?
It pays $5.50 an hour plus benefits.
Number seven.
White people, especially white women, because this is y'all's specialty, nosy Ginny, meddling Cathy, yet a racist fired.
But how do you know which racist to fire?
I'm Spartacus!
I'm Spartacus.
I'm not done with number seven.
Y'all know what the blank they be saying.
You are complicit when you ignore them.
Get your bosses fired because they racist too.
In other words, some bosses are just racist and everybody knows it, right?
I am your employee and I expect to be treated equally with a little dignity and a little respect.
Number eight.
This should all be easy, but all those sheetless Klan Nazis and other little penis white men will all be returning to work.
End of quote.
Sheetless Klan?
Sheetless?
Hey boys!
Look what I got here!
Hey, where are the white women at?
Number eight continues.
Nazis and other little penis white men will be returning to work.
Get they ass fired.
Stay out!
She continues, number one.
Number eight.
Call the police.
Why, even they look suspicious.
Number nine.
you If any white person at your work or as you enter in spaces, you overhear a white person praising the actions from yesterday, first get a pick.
Then get their name and more info.
Hell, find out where they work and get them fired.
You do that.
We did it!
You fired.
She continues, but certainly address them.
And if you need to, you got hands, use them.
In other words, she sang, "Hunt those white bastards down." "You got hands?" Use them?
Now, do you have to use your hands?
Or not.
The point is, white men have to go.
And finally, number 10.
White people commit to fighting white supremacy where and how you can, and this doesn't mean taking up knitting unless you're making scarves for black and brown kids in need and funding black and brown people and their work, end of quote.
In other words, think of it as property redistribution.
I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to see a village like this.
So that's it.
Ten demands.
No problem, unless you're a white male.
Look at that.
Steady as a rock.
Yeah, but I shoot with this hand.
One final thought.
A recent weekend in Chicago, 14 people shot and killed, over 100 wounded.
To my knowledge, not a single Confederate general was seen leaving the scene of the crimes.
Now, sometimes you just have to take matters into your own paws.
Ah, that's better. that's better.
Now, as you know, my film, Uncle Tom is Out, it debuted on June 19 and is really, really doing well.
Here's a trailer.
Most people are completely oblivious to the history of the Democratic Party.
