:37:02
people of col--Africa...
:37:04
is shows like "The Jeffersons."
:37:07
George and "Weezy!"
:37:11
Better than "The Jeffersons."
"Good Times."
:37:13
"Kid Dy-no-mite!"
:37:16
The whole J.J. thing.
:37:18
I think--and Delacroix
will agree with me...
:37:21
that the politics of
this show have to be right.
:37:24
This show we are doing
is a minstrel show...
:37:26
which is blackface, tap dancing,
singing sketches.
:37:31
You're putting
white actors in blackface?
:37:33
No, my dear.
:37:34
We are using black actors
with blacker faces.
:37:38
Don't you think people
will be offended by this?
:37:40
Yes, that's good.
I want them to be offended.
:37:42
I want to wake America up.
:37:43
Even though the material
will be somewhat offensive...
:37:48
there is definitely
a social message...
:37:51
that we should focus on...
:37:55
when writing the material.
:37:57
We're gonna need some big stars.
:37:59
No, no, no.
You're gonna have a hard time...
:38:03
getting a big star
to wear blackface...
:38:05
because they become invisible.
:38:07
So, I mean, to ask Denzel...
:38:10
to put on blackface is foolish.
:38:12
You been took!
:38:14
You been hoodwinked.
Bamboozled.
:38:17
Now, I know that it may be hard
for some of you...
:38:20
Iiberal-minded good white folks
to write offensive material...
:38:25
yet I want you
to tap into your white angst.
:38:29
I want you to go back
to the O.J. Simpson verdict.
:38:33
I want you to deal
with those emotions.
:38:36
How did you feel
when the glove didn't fit?
:38:39
It was ridiculous.
Cochran played the race card.
:38:42
The man is a murderer.
:38:43
If it had been a white man...
:38:45
The mission was accomplished.
:38:47
All of these people
left the room thinking...
:38:49
they would have real input.
:38:51
I was writing this pilot alone,
myself, me, moi.
:38:58
...after the verdict.
:38:59
I want you
to put yourself there...
