:21:00
Ms. Tate, she used to
put us against each other...
:21:03
so much, we started
hating each other.
:21:06
But I think deep down
inside...
:21:08
we really hated
ourselves.
:21:10
What do you mean?
:21:11
Keith was half white.
:21:12
She would try to
compare Keith...
:21:14
to me and Dwight.
:21:16
You know, he had
the good hair...
:21:17
and we had
the bad hair.
:21:19
She used to say how
Keith was better than us...
:21:21
because his father
was white.
:21:26
I wished I was Keith.
:21:27
Mmhh.
:21:29
But not even Keith
could escape...
:21:30
from being called
a nigger.
:21:32
She hardly used our names.
:21:33
She said the word
nigger so often...
:21:36
called us niggers so often...
:21:37
that we could tell...
:21:38
who she was
talking to by...
:21:39
the way she said
the word nigger.
:21:41
What happened to
Dwight and Keith?
:21:43
Dwight is in Lucasville
State Penitentiary.
:21:46
Keith got taken back
by his mother.
:21:48
He was raped by
one of her boyfriends.
:21:50
Mmhh.
:21:53
Did what happen to
Keith happen to you?
:21:54
Hell, no.
:21:58
Okay.
:22:01
Okay. Was
Mrs. Tate ever--
:22:05
Was she ever
nice to you?
:22:06
Yeah, there were times.
:22:08
Sometimes she would
tell her friends that...
:22:11
we were good kids and that
she was proud of us.
:22:13
Chummy times.
:22:14
Chummy times?
:22:16
Yeah. I got to where
I could tell...
:22:18
what kind of day
it was gonna be...
:22:20
by the scent in the air
when I awoke.
:22:22
How could you tell?
:22:23
Well, if I awoke
and there was the smell...
:22:25
of grits and eggs...
:22:27
or water steaming off
the pavement...
:22:30
as she hosed it down...
:22:32
I had to look out
all day.
:22:33
But...if I smelled
pancakes...
:22:36
everything was okay.
:22:37
She make pancakes
very often?
:22:39
No, sir.
:22:41
I can delay
my next appointment...
:22:43
if you want to
talk some more.
:22:45
No, sir.
:22:51
Hey, Slim.
:22:52
What?
:22:54
You going home
next leave?
:22:55
Hell, yeah. I gotta
tend to the flock.
:22:57
Hey, when I get leave...
:22:59
I'm gonna be
like a--a vampire...
