1:09:01
we gainfully employ
African-Americans...
1:09:03
in front of
and behind the camera.
1:09:05
You got to cover yourselves,
people--very important.
1:09:07
I need a black grip,
a black gaffer, a black P.A.
1:09:12
Have them there.
1:09:13
Number two--
Let the audience decide.
1:09:17
Three--who put these critics
in charge anyway, right?
1:09:19
These so-called cultural police.
1:09:22
Four--
Who determines what is black?
1:09:25
What is black?
1:09:26
Sleep'n Eat and Mantan
are lazy and unemployed...
1:09:30
but we are certainly
not saying anything...
1:09:32
about the entire
African-American community.
1:09:35
They're slackers.
1:09:36
I took a couple of years
after graduate school...
1:09:38
and walked around
the European countryside.
1:09:40
It's not the biggest deal
in the world.
1:09:41
Five--Mantan is a satire.
1:09:45
Six--lf they can't take a joke,
you know what? "F" 'em.
1:09:48
Yeah. "F" 'em.
1:09:50
I think that if we stick
to this kind of strategy...
1:09:52
it's clean sailing from here.
1:09:54
No disrespect,
but this is some bullshit.
1:09:57
Well, I've done my research.
1:09:58
These are Negroes
we are talking about...
1:10:02
not some lab mice in a cage.
1:10:04
We are not one monolithic group
of people.
1:10:07
We do not all think, look,
and act alike, Ms. Goldfarb.
1:10:12
Mr. Delacroix,
let me assure you--
1:10:13
I got my Ph.D. in African-
American studies from Yale.
1:10:16
So you fucked
a Negro in college.
1:10:18
Excuse me.
Let's keep this above the belt.
1:10:23
Show a little respect
for this woman.
1:10:25
Yes. Continue,
O Great Niggerologist.
1:10:29
-Enlighten us.
-I'm sorry, Myrna.
1:10:31
The biggest thing
in public relations...
1:10:33
is, of course,
to always smile.
1:10:35
Show dem pearly whites.
1:10:36
Wear Kente cloth.
1:10:39
Invoke the spirit
of Dr. Martin Luther King.
1:10:43
Use the word "community" often
when talking about "Mantan."
1:10:46
And, finally, our biggest asset
is you, Pierre Delacroix.
1:10:49
-Me?
-Yes, you.
1:10:53
How?
1:10:54
This show was created
and conceived by you, right?
1:10:58
A nonthreatening
African-American male.
