:58:01
with a bunch of Americans
in the streets.

:58:04
Make sure that you don't draw
a lot of attention to yourself

:58:07
and the fact
that you're American.

:58:08
- Nation's top doctor says
one in five Americans

:58:11
suffers some form
of mental disorder.

:58:13
The surgeon general David
Satcher pleads with people

:58:15
to seek help now.
:58:17
- The media, the corporations,
the politicians,

:58:21
have all done such a good job
of scaring the American public,

:58:25
it's come to the point
where they don't need to give

:58:28
any reason at all.
:58:30
- Today, the Justice Department
did issue a...

:58:33
a blanket alert.
:58:38
It was in recognition of a
general threat we received.

:58:41

:58:45
the Justice Department
have acted like this.

:58:47

:58:50

the evildoers, it may not be.

:59:00
- I just love these boulevards
down here, though.

:59:02

Los Angeles

:59:05
- How come whenever
I'm out here, though,

:59:07
I turn on the 11-o'clock news
and I hear, you know:

:59:10
"Tonight in South Central,
drive-by shooting."

:59:12
Or: "Tonight in South
Central..."

...this, that or whatever. I mean,
they're not making that up, are they?

:59:19
- No, they're not making it up,
but they're choosing

:59:22
what they're covering. If you
turn on the TV, on the news,

:59:26
what are you gonna hear about?
:59:28
Dangerous black guys, right?
Unnamed black guy who, you know,

:59:32
accused of some crime or...
- Right.

:59:35
- You're gonna see pictures
of black guys doing bad things,

:59:38
and hearing stories about black
guys doing bad things.

:59:41
And we've heard this
our whole lives.

:59:43
- Now, the suspect is a black
male in his twenties.

:59:47
he was wearing a
silver chain at the time.
