Speaker 6: Ain't how you was talking about her?
Speaker 5: Ten years they had to go fuck it up like
they suck everything up.
Speaker 6: I don't think this is the type of message you
want to be. What should I teach?
Speaker 10: Then?
Speaker 6: Let me guess? Martin Luther King, right, Ziana.
Speaker 5: Once upon a time, in an enchanted forest, Martin Luther
King had a dream, but he.
Speaker 6: Woke up before it got really good.
Speaker 5: Where After the little black boys and the little black
girls joined with the little white boys and the little
white girls. They raised their fist and smacked the little
white boys and little white girls upside their head.
Speaker 6: Pleasant, here go.
Speaker 2: Another fairy tale.
Speaker 5: It was once a little black boy a little white
boy who played together, slept at each other's houses and whatnot.
So one Sunday, beautiful day in the third grade, they
was in the hall after class, passed by the big
white teacher's room. She kept a humongous jar of candy
on her desk, and the door was open, but she
wasn't dead. The little black boy scurried inside and grabbed
as much as his little fist could hold the two
of them ran off and split it well. Next morning,
the big white teacher realized it was some candy miss,
and then another teacher told her he had seen him
in the hall after the bell, so she called him
out the middle class. A little white boy blurted out
that he did it and apologize. The big white teacher
still gave the little black boy detention. And that's what
you call white privilege.
Speaker 9: But you did it. You did something moral and got punished.
I did something honorable and got jack.
Speaker 6: Shit. That ain't white privilege. It's karma.
Speaker 5: Whenever I do interviews and they see this scar, they
think about game, not shoving a spike trap by some gas.
Speaker 6: So now I shoved you.
Speaker 2: So a lot of doors get slammed.
Speaker 8: Oh shit.
Speaker 5: The only reason I'm at American Airline Center is because
of my apartner's cousin.
Speaker 6: Sounds like black privilege to me. It's a whole black
mafia out here. You wrong, Clayton, You just wrong. The
where's Patrick's go? Fund me? At Patrick and dead? And
he had a kid, which I guess is the problem
to begin with.
Speaker 4: What do you do?
Speaker 6: It's an adult man, we most certainly, Michael, you.
Speaker 5: Know how we've been how talking about them Assignment's brothers
are pretty little lady, and got so excited. He had
an arithmetic problem basic less than greater than that type stuff.
Speaker 2: One tiny mistake, well actually it.
Speaker 5: Was more mistakes than before than one, Clayton stock one
tiny mistake, and now he and Tom out and we
all got to put up with that fucking.
Speaker 8: Ball that more starts. Bart soon turned into various slurs, spades, spooks, molasgroes,
tar babies, moon crickets, junkle, bunnies, bogums, et cetera. On
his ear seems to hear anything other than ordinary dogs.
Speaker 6: Admiral, if you don't shut the fuck up, I.
Speaker 9: Will curb stomp you so hard you'll make a hole
in the concrete.
Speaker 7: While we're told about him, it's a little hard to
fall asleep. Cool call somebody grown folks talking. You think
I enjoy it with the vets are? He don't know
for sure yet, but he's probably.
Speaker 11: Sick, real real sick. Still you gotta face knock Yeah,
all right, ment they do something for Patrick. When here
telling them about his broken bone.
Speaker 8: Clayton turns towards theyer they once.
Speaker 9: Lived an Ostrich and a flamingo underneath the tree. The
flamingo ship out of egg kicked it on accident. The
Ostrich watched it tumble down the hill. Said hey, and
you're gonna go get that? Uh nah, replied the flamingo.
The Ostrich migrated to a taller, thicker tree with a
bunch of sturdy nests laying around.
Speaker 6: Before they let him in.
Speaker 9: He had to pluck off a few of his feathers
and hand him over, but it was worth it. Then
the flamingo show up across the creek.
Speaker 4: How you like it.
Speaker 6: Over there, you know, just chilling your nests? Look nice? Yeah,
I wish I had a nest like that. Well, good
luck with that.
Speaker 9: The flamingo keep coming back to chit chat ad myre
the Ostrich's nest. One day you say, hey, I found
out where.
Speaker 5: The hag at Zayre. Come on, Zaire, come on, I
want to hear the end.
Speaker 6: Zaire.
Speaker 9: I found out where the aggat. But when it crack open,
it's gonna want all my damn feathers.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 9: Maybe I should just leave it there, and I really
want that empty nest next to yours, but that would
take too many feathers too only got so many feathers,
look like it's one of the other.
Speaker 6: Then the Ostrich said.
Speaker 12: Then the Ostrich said, unless you want the adult version,
that'd be quicker. Then the Ostrich said, you should have
both come here, use mine, pull off as many as
you need, and when mind start growing back, I'll pull
them off and give them to you. Lied the flamingo
as he mosied his pink ass across the creek.
Speaker 6: Even though the ostrich new battery shook hands.
Speaker 9: With the flamingo, and the flamingo dug his claws into
a thick chunk of feathers and ripped him out, sat
in his new nest alone. Four days, days turned into weeks,
turned into months. You got plenty room now, the Ostrich
kept saying, and the flamingo kept saying, ain't like the egg.
Speaker 6: Gonna grow legs and walk off.
Speaker 4: Happy.
Speaker 6: Ever after.
Speaker 8: Act five, soft Sire and Isabelle sitting on the curb,
they watch the house across the street is swarm with
multiple cops.
Speaker 13: Ooo. They Intruble Connor, Jared Brett. It's a game. Whenever
it's a bunch of white boys, you shout out a
bunch of white boy names, you can get one of them.
Speaker 14: James John's so fun.
Speaker 13: You gotta try harder than that.
Speaker 6: Chad, what.
Speaker 15: Braiden Honor, Spencer Preston.

Friday on pathagon Korean theorem.
Speaker 14: And ms fam knew that.
Speaker 15: I know, she knew she could not, and she still
gave us a paper for Friday. Right about a deeply private,
ongoing hatred, A rage so burning that it may makes
you forget with whom exactly you're upset, A rage that
makes you want to wash the.
Speaker 14: World on a fire? Can she even do that?
Speaker 13: The bitch is nutty. Just make some mug. That's that's
what we all did. Watch the news, put something together quick,
acting like a damn baby.
Speaker 15: Easy for you to say, Oh, no, Shade, you're always
full of hate.
Speaker 13: No you did?
Speaker 14: Oh okay, I take it back.
Speaker 13: I gotta be full of hate. Probably what got me

Speaker 6: See hateful, Oh.
Speaker 13: Boohoo, them little basses A right? You know Diane already

Speaker 13: He ain't even all that. He one of the ugliest
eighth graders. Low key, I don't get it.
Speaker 14: Doesn't he like try to hit on the sixth graders behind.
Speaker 13: Her back, behind her back, beside her back, above, over underneath. See,

the top of a snowy mountain or in the middle
of my alfredo like I ain't got a shit to do.
Speaker 6: Well, I will someday marry me.
Speaker 14: No snowflakes inside. Sure, I just want to be everything

Speaker 13: Whoa your daddy?
Speaker 1: Fine?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 13: Like foying.
Speaker 14: That's gross for so many reasons.
Speaker 13: You should try to look more like him.
Speaker 15: Or or how about when you graduate you come here
and knock on the door and ask him for a fetus.
Speaker 6: He'll ignore.
Speaker 13: I ain't say nothing about all that. He ain't that fine? Hey,
I was just playing.
Speaker 14: Sorry, it's okay.
Speaker 4: It's just.
Speaker 13: I mean, he nice, and he being nice, he's just weird.
Speaker 8: Or he lays his head on her shoulder or lap,
he starts to nod off. He plays like a lion,
actual lion.
Speaker 13: Well, you should talk about what happened, hey, sire, I'm
sorry Chelsey to talk about what happened.
Speaker 14: What happened the other day, last month? It was that
long ago.
Speaker 13: Yeah, huh, we're talking about the same thing, right. You
act like you think it happened in a dream. If
you like someone else, I get it. I mean, I'm better,
But that's on you. We still be cool.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 14: I never said that.
Speaker 13: Then, what's the matter.
Speaker 14: I don't want to brush Oh okay, like.
Speaker 15: Just sitting here in the leaves shadows this. This is
perfectly nice right now today.
Speaker 13: What about tomorrow?
Speaker 14: We'll see tomorrow, goad. We talked about it, you.
Speaker 13: Know, you can do it again.
Speaker 8: If you won't, he kisses her own the lips. Here.
Speaker 13: You gotta figure out what you hate at.
Speaker 6: The best, I'll you big time.
Speaker 15: Give me a homework whenever I can fuck up, like
a science support or something.
Speaker 13: Ain't you tired about this?
Speaker 14: Like school?
Speaker 13: I know it's important, but I just feel distracted, Like
if I drop out and figure out something else, maybe
it wouldn't even make a big difference. No, I know,
but just thinking, like, you know how Obama was bad
when he was our.
Speaker 6: Age, so what if he was bad?
Speaker 13: Yeah, you ain't know that he did zans perps, lean coke,
molly and he was cripping. Okay, but like thuggin' it's
at least a few motherfuckers out there with pieces of
Obama bullet in the guts. Any Way, he was an
ass word. Then his poor little white, distressed mama got
through to him and turned his life around happily ever after,
or that's what they tell us. But I think he
had it all played out by the time he was six,
and one night he was hugged up with his teddy
bear and thought, hey, while I got my youth, let's
have some fun. And he still ended up Obama. I
ain't say I want to be in a gang.
Speaker 14: Should I be worried about you?
Speaker 13: I'll be staring at grown ups sometimes, not like teachers
or my family, but old people crossing the street, or
Eugene the drift shop manager. When did they decide? Like,
was Eugene's mama running errands one day and took him
into the drift store and his eyes opened wide, and
he said to himself, this is it, This is magic
on earth? Did them old people think they would still
be taking the bus when they got old? Where did
all this come from? If it was really as simple
as what you won't be when you grow up, then
people wouldn't keep falling into place So neat, I started
thinking about what I might actually want to do. Then
then some little girl run past me, and I remember
how I used to think it'd take a billion years
just to grow titties.
Speaker 8: Cynthia comes out at Yourmica's house.
Speaker 10: You ain't leaving, nah, I'm watching the kids. It's all
