[Music] [ __ ] psychiatrist 24-hour toll-free why mean we can call it any time [ __ ] check thank god you're home we heard you were in jail my husband's beating me what can I do [ __ ] by gun clicking [ __ ] [ __ ] say hi I'm a secretary my boss wants to sleep with me what can I do give up the [ __ ] make the money click I just wanted to how those it was a he's obsessed with that word he's obsessed god stop him they made quite a bit of money which was that which which was why we felt so betrayed because you would think if something made money then they would want to put some more money in it and see it go on but it didn't work out that way it was at a point in Hollywood's history when the movie going public was low I love whites one gonna films they got tired of seeing that they'd rather look at television there was more invention on television so the film industry the film market began to drop because people weren't going so they resorted to that secondary market and once the secondary market got Hollywood some money got its win back so to speak they then began to establish the the the the but the status quo there whatever they then began to go back to the position of oK we've got some money now we don't need the blacks we don't need the minorities we don't need the women we don't need none of that we're gonna do our thing [Music] white fantasy films I love the fantasy I do I like loved Chariots of Fire I love that film why people running track I laugh for two weeks I love that fantasy oh come on another fantasy I so body heat why he was screwing all night I love the fantasy no I saw Annie the little white orphan I loved it I said look somebody killed this little [ __ ] before I do tomorrow no Annie I'm killing you tonight there'll be no tomorrow I loved what was that I loved what was it the boxer Rocky I loved that one two and three I love it the fantasy why people do not beat up great big black wild [ __ ] they don't do that hoping to do Rocky Ford serious he's a swimmer he swims I'm here to England and the black man in the canoe then I solve the fantasy et it can only ET it could only happen to white people you'd fall in love with a long neck big eyed green ugly green little bastard from space drag him home let him sleep with your kids let him eat up the food that didn't try on all the clothes a little freak let him drink of everything let him phone home beg him to live with it and you can't live next door to [ __ ] for five minutes that [ __ ] is sick and you know it all come on give it up is some sick stuff [Music] Hollywood I think it's racist I've always felt that I mean all that I'm a part of it I just think it is right from the beginning with Birth of a Nation which they say is an art and the best film ever made and I find it insulting in races and they gave Lillian Gish and I know America loves it an award Oh stringing or white lady an award and I think she should be apologizing for being that movie because I don't know if you've seen it but it's a very racist movie it should be burned they lost part of it but they should find the other part and burn all of it they say it's when the greatest movies of all time late because when I look at the screen I couldn't really identify what Rhett Butler I was looking at Big Jim you know running behind the runaway carriage saying either come in this car I would come in and you know why people they always had to have their own identities and you know as they were talking I was oh my god don't they realize that this film has the greatest stereotypes of any film and you know it's just very very bad it just seems like it should not have to be that way he was this standard bearer for blacks in America as our you motion picture performer and he just sort of positioned him there and kept in there I had a speech but I'm not going to make it when I started in his business on my first job I was in concert with one other black man and he was the she sign boy on that lot right yes true unity yes that's the one thing that frightens weiu is unity between blacks they don't want to save anything in common because we like what the favorite dance step is we can spread that quickly we all dance the same it has variations throughout the states with it's all saying and if we ever communicate the way we do when we dance will be a problem in America [Music] [Laughter] [Music] when you begin to look at the new technologies that give Hollywood a run for its money like the music tapes MTV tapes you know you then have to start to understand what's happening the kids that buy those tapes are black and white yellow green red I mean the edges they buy the tapes Michael Jackson didn't happen because he was just an alien from another country you have talent sure he's black and all those other things that come into play Michael Jackson is selling in South Africa I mean you know who buys records in South Africa and the blacks don't have the kind of money to make him a big seller so something is it's gonna come around as I said Richard Pryor is one of the biggest box-office draw guaranteed if you get Richard in a picture you guaranteed you're guaranteed to make money it's gonna happen it's going to happen Eddie Murphy's first film didn't become an Eddie Murphy film from the outset he was an adjunct they didn't use him to raise the money to get the food to make the movie they're doing that now the other coaches will use the principles they understand the principles they set their goals and they pursue those goals they achieve the first one they set out in the second and in blacks we do great things you know and flashy things and great athletes and great musicians but then we're basically controlled by other cultures and the for example the black superstar today to me is the 1984 Uncle Tom because while he's trying to get another contract for an additional million dollars he's represented totally by white people so he's not reaching back and bringing in any black lawyers or black accountants or black managers he's just so happy to be considered an idol with in this society he doesn't understand that in 10 years all that will have all that will happens that will be broken and he wouldn't have created anything that would be lasting for his kids as grandchildren so until we understand the principle that every other cultures seem to understand we're always gonna have to ask someone to do something for us don't forget to register to vote you know it's a man's world unless woman involved are you registered to vote Jesse Jackson running for president just think of that Jesse Jackson do you know what happened if he runs for president what would actually happen dead wife who will get out of their graves to go vote done of the voters they don't know why they just have to go [Applause] America is not ready for a black president they're not ready come on they're not even ready for a [ __ ] vice president let's be realistic what's that work it would be wonderful [ __ ] vice president think about it be perfect that would assure the president wouldn't be assassinated Oh ain't nobody gonna shoot with a [ __ ] vice president we know shooting president can ride in a convertible all day or night they'll be no shoot where's the president he's asleep in the convertible he's safe
