:59:01
I was always the darkest one
in my class.

:59:04
I know you know
what I'm talking about.

:59:06
All the guys ran after the light-skinned
girls with long, straight hair.

:59:09
That left me out. It's that
same kind of thinkin'...

:59:12
that leaves us out when
it comes to white women.

:59:14
Back in the day, brothers would get
sisters that looked like you.

:59:18
But now, light skin
ain't even good enough.

:59:22
Today, brothers are
going for the gusto...

:59:24
I mean the real McCoy.
That's why Flipper's gone.

:59:27
- White girls got it made.
- The whole thing...

:59:29
Everything in society... we keep doin'
the same thing over and over;

:59:34
we keep telling ourselves,
negatin' ourselves.

:59:37
Look at the brothers
who are successful.

:59:39
Look at them! Most of
the brothers who have made it...

:59:42
- got white women on their arms.
- That's true.

:59:44
In order to go up that ladder
to success, seems like...

:59:47
- you got to have
"Miss Thing" on your arm.
- Mm-hmm!

:59:49
Their responsibility level
isn't the same as ours.

:59:52
It's not even a question
of responsibility.

:59:55
- It's a fundamental
disrespect for women.
- Yes, it is.

:59:57
I don't care, the best man...
it's hard for him to say no,

1:00:00
some pussy starin' him
in the face. I'm sorry,

1:00:02
I don't know the man that's been
born that's gonna say no...

1:00:05
he look around, nobody here...
he gonna fuck the pussy.

1:00:08
If you want a
committed relationship,

1:00:10
then you are supposed
to be able to say no.

1:00:12
It's the "Art of No" theory for me.
1:00:15
If you know you're involved
with this person,

1:00:17
- you have no business...
I don't believe...
- Look around.

1:00:19
I know there's such...
You gonna get turned on.

1:00:22
You gonna see somebody you wanna fuck,
but your mind's supposed to tell you,

1:00:25
I have a committed relationship.
I have a wife, whatever,

1:00:28
and tell the dick
to shut the fuck up and get down.

1:00:32
Strap that motherfucker down!
You know? Come on.

1:00:35
You're right.
You have to.

1:00:38
You know somethin',
though?

1:00:40
It don't even matter
what color she is.

1:00:44
My man is gone.
1:00:57
Nah, Flipper.
Nah.

1:00:59
- I wanna talk to Drew.
- There's a war council goin' on
in your living room.
