Black and White Page #2

No, me and you

and everybody else in here.

I need to talk to you about some sh*t.

-I know Rich will slap the sh*t out of him.

-What about?

And his father's the f***ing D.A.

You can't be coming to my joint

blowing a spot like that.

-What's wrong with you?

-I'm doing this for you. Not for myself.

I work for you.

You know what I do with my life.

These guys open a club on your turf

without calling or asking you.

And no compensation. It's bullshit.

So you're gonna tell me

what's going on in my hood?

I know these cats. Scotty, Eric

and all these other motherfuckers.

White cats that I know

that are opening up this club...

...in your hood with no calls, no nothing.

I don't think it makes sense.

What you gonna do?

What am I gonna do? What's your point?

You gather information, right?

Just keep the information coming in

and you'll see what I'm gonna do.

I understand. I overstand what I gotta do.

What's up?

-He wanna be a rapper.

-Yeah.

I was tellin' him

not everybody can be a rapper.

-You know what I'm saying?

-Yeah, no doubt.

-What's up?

-You all right?

What's going on, man?

What's up, Greta? What's going down?

-This is a nice spot.

-You like it?

-Why don't we go look outside?

-Let me show you....

I ran into your man, Will,

on my way up, man.

He had a wild look in his eyes.

Looked like he had something on his mind.

-Just a white boy trying to be a nigga.

-Didn't even say, "What's up?" to me.

F*** all that. How's your game going?

-Come see me play sometime.

-Guaranteed.

"Young people are always more given

to admiring what is wild...

"...than what is reasonable."

That is a quote from Delacroix.

I want to examine today, with you,

the question of identity.

Is culture involved

and is race a factor? Charlie?

I wanna be black.

I wanna get into the hip-hop thing.

Times are definitely different now

and things are different.

Obviously now you see

a lot of white kids...

...that admire and look up

to the black community...

...and hip-hop and rappers.

I think that people are struggling

with who they are.

That's a big thing.

And being a teenager is a transition...

...from being a kid to being an adult.

When you're an adult,

you have to know who you are.

What's not healthy about choosing a style?

You're saying I should treasure

my Russian heritage...

...and then get all caught up

in what's going on in Russia now?

I don't give a f***! It'll never affect me!

You don't wanna be

what people expect of your race.

People say you're white,

you have to be this way.

You can't walk around and talk...

...Ebonics, you know...

...and they're saying....

Sometimes you just don't wanna be

what your race is supposed to be.
