School Daze Page #3

This is a new day.

There is a feeling

that the predominantly black college...

for all intents and purposes,

has outlived its usefulness.

Over the years, it has been vital

to our elevation in this great country...

but the need no longer exists

in an integrated society.

That's absurd. It does exist.

It exists at Notre Dame...

and Yeshiva, Brandeis, at Brigham Young.

Now you tell me, what is the difference?

You want to know the difference?

I'll tell you.

The difference is that the Catholics alone

support the Notre Dames.

The Jews alone support the Yeshivas.

Mormons support the Brigham Youngs.

Who supports the black colleges?

I'll tell you who.

The federal government

and philanthropists like Snodgrass.

Harold, why won't blacks support

Spelman, Tuskegee...

Morehouse, Howard?

- We do.

- Barely!

Look, as Chairman of the Board,

I was sent here to talk with you.

Now, he does not like this divestment mess,

and I don't like it, either.

Now, you better snip it right here at the bud,

or I will.

'Cause if you don't,

you stand a good chance of losing them.

There it is.

Yeah. People like them don't like to be told

what to do with their money.

Old, old money.

Sh*t, I tell you all time after time,

do not sit here again.

Stay off my bed. Stay in your own room.

Ignorant motherfuckers, I swear, man.

Sorry about the bed, homeboy.

But check this out,

we got a question for you, man.

- What's up with your cousin Half-Pint?

- Yo, man, why is he pledging?

Yo, man, you wanna take your last breath?

I didn't think so. That's my cousin.

You leave him alone.

You don't talk about him like that.

- We understand each other?

- I'm sorry, man.

But seriously, man,

what's up with the Pint, man?

But seriously, who's going back to the

Administration building with me tonight?

Not the kid.

Man, you crazy.

We're going to the coronation.

- More butts and more titties.

- That's right, God damn it.

Hey, wait a minute.

I thought y'all was down for the cause.

- Yeah, you my brother, but God damn, man.

- That's right, God damn.

You should lighten up on that sh*t,

Malcolm, seriously.

- He's right, Nat Turner.

- Marcus Garvey.

Frederick Douglass.

Yeah.

You all can kiss my black ass twice, hear?

Preach, Jesse. Preach on.

Yo, Farrakhan, relax.

Don't be so sensitive, my man. Chill.

What about the parade? Somebody coming

to the parade with me, maybe?

Hey, I'm down, man, but not tonight.

I gots to see some butt shaking, you know.

Word up. I'm with him.

That ain't no joke, man. I can't...

What about the rest of y'all?

Tomorrow.

All right, bet. Enjoy yourselves. I'll see you

all tomorrow morning, 9:00 a.m. Sharp.
