Losing Isaiah

next.

1:15:00
Not yet.
1:15:01
Or maybe your husband
has read him Fathers and Sons,

1:15:04
or Uncle Jed's Barbershop
by Margeree King Mitchell.

1:15:07
No, I don't think so.
1:15:10
Well, who do you think
he identifies with, Mrs. Lewin?

1:15:14
The orange-faced muppet?
1:15:17
Does he share
its muppet history?

1:15:20
You ever stop to think
how Isaiah must feel

1:15:23
living in a world
1:15:24
where he never sees
anyone like himself?

1:15:27
Might be kind of troubling,
don't you think?

1:15:30
Well, what's your point,
Mr. Lewis?

1:15:32
That our skin isn't
the right color?

1:15:37
That we're incapable
of teaching this child

1:15:40
what he needs to learn?
1:15:42
That I can't raise Isaiah up
to be an honorable man

1:15:45
because my skin is white?
1:15:51
What about love?
1:15:54
You haven't even spoken
that word here.

1:15:57
Or doesn't that fit
into your equation

1:16:00
of black and white?
1:16:02
And what about Isaiah?
1:16:04
How does he fit
into all of this?

1:16:07
Or is it more important
that we be

1:16:10
politically correct?
1:16:23
What we should be thinking
about here...

1:16:28
is what is going to happen...
1:16:31
to the spirit
of this little boy...

1:16:37
if he's...
1:16:39
taken away from us.
1:16:41
So, what you're saying is,
1:16:43
you're his only hope.
1:16:48
What I'm saying is,
1:16:50
we are all he knows,
1:16:53
and if you take him away
from us, it'll kill him.

1:16:58
Oh.
