black parent, I guess you're down.
Many brothers were raised
by one parent.
My mother's white.
- No disrespect.
- What's with your pop?
What?
Your father.
What's up with your father?
He was a cop. He got murdered.
Must've tripped you out.
Yeah, it tripped me out.
Really tripped me out.
Just like having to watch a rapper act.
This brother, man...
- Excuse me.
- Shoot on this side.
I'm sorry.
- Mind if I ask something?
- Why quit now?
Was it a brother
that killed your father?
- What kind of question is that?
- I'm just wondering.
Yes, a brother killed my father.
Did you get it?
Did you get it, X?
Yeah. Yeah, I got it.
Kyle, you can't just blink your eyes
and expect me to go away.
I know you can hear me.
- Should I just keep talking...?
- What's your beef?
You think if you pretend to sleep,
I'll forget we were talking?
You always think I'm playing you.
I'm not accusing you.
- I'm asking for clarification.
- I said what I had to say.
You can't just wake up one morning
and say you need space...
...and expect it to be case closed.
- After all we've been through?
- Keep your voice down!
I forgot.
We can't let your macho ass
out of the closet.
What do you want me to say?
Anything.
That it's another man, or a woman.
That you're confused about
your sexuality. Anything.
Look, Randall, I need space.
- That's it.
- Not good enough.
If I knew you were gonna trip on me,
I'd have made you stay home.
You've got a lot of nerve.
You are not the reason I came on
this trip, you pompous bastard.
Good. Then you won't mind
if I change my seat.
Yeah, I do mind. I mind that you're not
man enough to admit you love me.
- Hold up!
- What?!
- Cool, Dad.
- Oh, Lord.
We're going to the march
with a bunch of homos!
Sissy.
Tell me I didn't just hear
what I think I did.
What?
He said:
"You're not man enough to admit
that you love me," to him.
- So?
- So?
- So?
- We have faggots on the bus.
Gays have no role
in our community?
we got on this bus.
How else they supposed
to get there?
- Skip.
- Damn straight.
Well...
...it's no biggie to me.
You bend down
and grab your ankles too?
No, I ain't gay, all right?
I still don't see what the problem is.
Ask them why they're going.
Look, bro. You know what? I will.
The Bible says it's an abomination.
Still...
...sometimes I ask myself
what would I do if...
...one of them was my son?
Or worse, still...
...what if I was the one
that was born that way?
What's your lady's name?
- Jindai.
- Oh, she is pretty!
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
How long you been together?
