Has Flipper told you about
his loving wife and daughter?
:21:06
Yes, he has.
:21:09
Um, excuse me.
:21:15
You think I don't
understand about the white woman...
:21:17
committing black adultery,
but I do.
:21:20
Now, Daddy,
no sermons, please.
:21:22
There was a lot of lynchings
in Willicoochee, Georgia...
:21:25
where I come from
when I was a boy.
:21:27
Willicoochee, Georgia!
What a name!
:21:31
Willicoochee.
:21:33
White man say to his woman:
"Baby, you are the flower...
:21:36
"of white Southern womanhood,
too holy and pure...
:21:40
"to be touched by any man,
including me.
:21:43
"I'm gonna put you
up on a pedestal...
:21:46
"so the whole world will
fall down and worship you.
:21:48
"And if any nigger
so much as look at you,
:21:52
I'll lynch his ass."
:21:55
She believed him,
thought she really was...
:21:57
holy and pure,
like the Virgin Mary.
:22:00
She let him put her
up on that pedestal.
:22:03
Meanwhile, the husband,
no sooner than the sun went down...
:22:06
down to the slave quarters
grabbin' up every piece...
:22:09
of black poontang
he could lay his hands on,
:22:12
then running to the gin mill
to brag about it.
:22:16
And that's how our blood
got diluted...
:22:18
mulattoes, quadroons,
:22:21
octoroons.
:22:23
I'm sure that most of those
high and mighty white ladies...
:22:28
felt abandoned.
:22:30
But they were so proud to be
white, and therefore superior,
:22:35
they kept their mouths shut
and their legs locked tight.
:22:40
But in the midnight hour,
:22:43
layin' there, alone,
:22:46
on the hot bed of lust,
:22:50
I'm sure they must've thought
what it would be like...
:22:52
to have one of them
big, black bucks...
:22:56
their husbands were
so desperately afraid of.
