we'll only be

making him a hero.

Do you have a better idea?

Our friends

at Multinational Inc.

have been developing

a new drug

with some very interesting side effects.

I think we may have found

the perfect guinea pig.

Newscaster:
The so called Afro

Bandit struck Multinational Bank.

However, it appears

no money was stolen.

Authorities questioned

singer Macy Gray,

but she was released

for lack of evidence.

Well, would anybody

like to explain exactly

what the hell happened

at the bank?!

His name

is Undercover Brother.

Apparently, he was erasing

mortgage records

so that low-income families

wouldn't lose their homes.

Sistah Girl:

Great.

A "Soul Train" reject

with a Robin Hood complex.

- Now I've heard everything.

- Hey, hey, hey, now.

At least he got

the job done.

- That's the kind of man we need around here.

- The keyword being "man"?

Hold on.

I didn't say that, you did.

Man-man.

The General's

press conference is starting!

Newscaster:

We interrupt this broadcast to take you live

to a press conference

by General Warren Boutwell,

in which he is expected

to announce

that he is a candidate

for presidency of the United States.

I wonder if he'll run

as a Democrat or an Independent.

- Never know. Might be a Republican.

- Oh, please.

What kind of self-respecting black man

would run

as a Republican?

Name one thing

the Republican party

has done

for black people. One!

Well, they were

the party of Lincoln.

They stood against

the tyranny of oppression

by leading the call

for the Civil War,

and forced passage

of the Emancipation Proclamation,

which freed the slaves.

All right,

name two things lately.

Damn it, It doesn't matter

what party!

This could be the first step

on the road to putting

an African-American

in the White House.

It's a great day

for black people of all races.

- General:
"Good morning. "

- Think about it!

I've thought long and hard about how

I can best serve my country

now that I'm no longer in uniform.

Well, today...

I am proud to announce

that I will be...

opening a chain

of fried chicken restaurants.

General Boutwell!

Yes, sir.

So, you're passing up a chance

to be President

to open a chicken joint?

A man like me doesn't have

any business in politics.

They say you should

always do what you know.

And what I know

is good fried chicken.

- Ohh...

- GeneraI:
"Yes, ma'am. "

Don't you think your supporters

in the African-American community

will be particularly disappointed?

Not after they taste

the General's fried chicken.

General:
Surrender, Colonel,

here comes the General.

- "Will there be side dishes?"

- Sweet potatoes...

black-eyed peas,
