1
00:00:01,433 --> 00:00:02,664
The Carmichael Show is taped

2
00:00:02,683 --> 00:00:04,380
in front of a live studio audience.

3
00:00:04,406 --> 00:00:05,803
Happy Birthday.

4
00:00:05,905 --> 00:00:08,040
Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

5
00:00:08,073 --> 00:00:10,008
- Mm.
- Mwah!

6
00:00:10,037 --> 00:00:13,706
So you already opened the gift I got you.

7
00:00:13,761 --> 00:00:15,528
Yeah.

8
00:00:15,555 --> 00:00:18,157
I didn't want you to have the
pressure of watching me open it,

9
00:00:18,196 --> 00:00:19,496
in case I didn't like it.

10
00:00:21,412 --> 00:00:23,011
All right, how do you like it?

11
00:00:24,289 --> 00:00:25,557
You gift-paused.

12
00:00:25,577 --> 00:00:26,777
Oh, no. No, no, no. No.

13
00:00:26,795 --> 00:00:28,029
No. Uh, uh,

14
00:00:28,047 --> 00:00:29,747
Maxine, I think you're a very beautiful,

15
00:00:29,774 --> 00:00:32,276
thoughtful girlfriend, really... but...

16
00:00:32,313 --> 00:00:34,246
come on... Banana Republic, Maxine?

17
00:00:35,494 --> 00:00:36,996
I mean, do I look like a guy

18
00:00:37,019 --> 00:00:38,779
that works in Accounting,
named Adam, to you?

19
00:00:39,288 --> 00:00:40,354
Okay, I think their demographic

20
00:00:40,370 --> 00:00:42,004
is slightly larger than that.

21
00:00:42,029 --> 00:00:43,963
Or a young dad named Chris?

22
00:00:43,993 --> 00:00:45,160
Now you're just naming people you know

23
00:00:45,178 --> 00:00:46,312
who wear Banana Republic.

24
00:00:46,330 --> 00:00:47,563
I'm not an assistant principal

25
00:00:47,582 --> 00:00:49,350
named Markel, Maxine.

26
00:00:49,376 --> 00:00:51,644
Where are you even
getting these names from?

27
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:53,179
Okay, look, since it's your birthday,

28
00:00:53,201 --> 00:00:55,169
I thought we could do something fun today

29
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,434
like check out that new Italian food cart.

30
00:00:57,467 --> 00:00:59,735
You want me to eat on the streets?

31
00:00:59,769 --> 00:01:01,537
- For my birthday?
- Okay,

32
00:01:01,564 --> 00:01:03,164
but the guy who opened it

33
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:05,323
almost made it onto Top Chef Boston.

34
00:01:05,356 --> 00:01:06,356
That doesn't count.

35
00:01:06,372 --> 00:01:07,772
Nobody goes to Boston for the food.

36
00:01:07,793 --> 00:01:09,594
You go for there for
the enthusiastic racism.

37
00:01:09,621 --> 00:01:12,289
All right? Look, look,
sit down... sit down.

38
00:01:12,330 --> 00:01:14,198
- Okay.
- All right, so...

39
00:01:14,226 --> 00:01:16,527
First, we are... thank you...

40
00:01:16,562 --> 00:01:18,763
going to watch Coming to America

41
00:01:18,796 --> 00:01:20,063
while we sip hot chocolate.

42
00:01:20,083 --> 00:01:21,684
Ooh, I heard that's pretty funny.

43
00:01:21,708 --> 00:01:23,475
What do you mean, you
heard it's pretty funny?

44
00:01:23,502 --> 00:01:24,836
Yeah, I heard it's funny.

45
00:01:24,856 --> 00:01:27,591
No, no, no... you hear the
Guggenheim has great exhibits.

46
00:01:27,633 --> 00:01:30,535
You hear HPV is more
dangerous than you thought.

47
00:01:32,258 --> 00:01:33,000
You... see

48
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,367
Coming to America.

49
00:01:34,389 --> 00:01:36,257
Okay. And then what else are we gonna do?

50
00:01:36,285 --> 00:01:37,585
And then,

51
00:01:37,605 --> 00:01:40,073
we go to my parents' house
for my surprise party.

52
00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:42,311
Okay, how is it a surprise,
if you already know about it?

53
00:01:42,344 --> 00:01:44,579
Oh, no, I need to know about
my surprises, all right?

54
00:01:44,613 --> 00:01:46,581
Otherwise they're just too startling.

55
00:01:46,611 --> 00:01:48,945
But then we, uh, we eat some cake

56
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:50,447
and then my parents sing to me.

57
00:01:50,470 --> 00:01:53,272
Oh, well, I can sing you the birthday song.

58
00:01:53,314 --> 00:01:56,083
? Happy birthday ?

59
00:01:56,124 --> 00:01:59,926
? Mr. Carmichael... ?

60
00:01:59,983 --> 00:02:01,084
What are you doing?

61
00:02:01,101 --> 00:02:02,901
? Ha... ? I'm singing.

62
00:02:02,928 --> 00:02:05,162
You know she died from
a pill overdose, right?

63
00:02:10,512 --> 00:02:13,381
- Happy birthday, playboy.
- Oh, thank you.

64
00:02:13,424 --> 00:02:14,824
Did y'all hear what happened?

65
00:02:14,845 --> 00:02:17,113
The cops shot a unarmed teenager downtown.

66
00:02:17,147 --> 00:02:18,748
And I'm going down there to protest.

67
00:02:18,773 --> 00:02:20,507
Oh, my God, that's terrible.

68
00:02:20,534 --> 00:02:22,068
I know. Look, this is
the worst possible day

69
00:02:22,090 --> 00:02:24,223
I could start my new job.

70
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:29,041
I don't know... I'm torn, too, man.

71
00:02:29,064 --> 00:02:31,332
I don't know if I'd go
down there, take the streets

72
00:02:31,366 --> 00:02:32,900
and fight because I'm a black youth...

73
00:02:32,924 --> 00:02:35,626
or do I defend the force, you know?

74
00:02:35,667 --> 00:02:38,368
Because, you know, I'm a officer now.

75
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:40,718
Okay.

76
00:02:40,745 --> 00:02:43,313
You're a 32-year-old man
who works security part-time

77
00:02:43,352 --> 00:02:45,653
at an electronics store.

78
00:02:45,687 --> 00:02:47,922
You're not a youth, you're not an officer,

79
00:02:47,956 --> 00:02:50,089
and neither side wants you, man.

80
00:02:51,002 --> 00:02:52,237
Okay, forget you, okay?

81
00:02:52,256 --> 00:02:53,723
Matter of fact, is that your sweater?

82
00:02:53,746 --> 00:02:55,013
This sweater's ugly.

83
00:02:55,032 --> 00:02:56,899
What, you're a architect named Pete?

84
00:02:56,927 --> 00:02:58,962
Okay. Ha-ha.

85
00:02:58,993 --> 00:03:01,060
Listen, I think that we
should go down and protest.

86
00:03:01,091 --> 00:03:03,326
'Cause, you know, I tried
to go to Occupy Wall Street

87
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,494
but my flight landed
when the protest ended,

88
00:03:05,527 --> 00:03:08,428
so I just saw Book of
Mormon twice and went home.

89
00:03:09,521 --> 00:03:11,823
That's the saddest story
I've ever heard before.

90
00:03:11,857 --> 00:03:13,291
But no, I'm not

91
00:03:13,314 --> 00:03:15,582
gonna go protest. Nobody
should go protest...

92
00:03:15,616 --> 00:03:17,083
it doesn't do anything.

93
00:03:17,105 --> 00:03:18,872
You know those people
that, like, stand outside

94
00:03:18,899 --> 00:03:20,567
- the White House with picket signs?
- Mm-hmm.

95
00:03:20,592 --> 00:03:22,459
Just completely wasting their time.

96
00:03:22,487 --> 00:03:24,955
They are not wasting their time.

97
00:03:24,993 --> 00:03:26,427
People protested for gay marriage

98
00:03:26,449 --> 00:03:28,517
in front of the White
House and that worked out.

99
00:03:28,548 --> 00:03:29,881
You really gonna credit that to protests?

100
00:03:29,902 --> 00:03:33,204
That was more Neil Patrick
Harris than anything.

101
00:03:34,133 --> 00:03:35,968
Look, I'm going down there.

102
00:03:35,996 --> 00:03:37,864
Come on Bobby, I'm gonna give
you a ride halfway to work

103
00:03:37,892 --> 00:03:40,760
and you can walk the rest of the way.

104
00:03:40,803 --> 00:03:42,970
'Cause I can't be seen with no pig.

105

106
00:03:54,659 --> 00:04:00,001
_ _

107
00:04:04,086 --> 00:04:06,304
I feel like we should be at the protest.

108
00:04:06,337 --> 00:04:09,105
Okay, look. I'm willing to negotiate.

109
00:04:09,146 --> 00:04:11,301
We'll go in here now and
after I blow out the candles

110
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:13,769
I'll make a little wish that
black people not get shot

111
00:04:13,806 --> 00:04:16,007
by the police nearly as often, okay?

112
00:04:16,041 --> 00:04:17,508
All right, if you'll excuse me,

113
00:04:17,530 --> 00:04:20,098
we have a surprise party to attend.

114
00:04:21,355 --> 00:04:23,123
- Surprise!
- Oh!

115
00:04:24,301 --> 00:04:25,901
Oh! Oh!

116
00:04:25,926 --> 00:04:26,960
Oh, my God.

117
00:04:26,976 --> 00:04:28,443
Oh, you got me good this year.

118
00:04:28,466 --> 00:04:30,033
Maxine, did you know about this?

119
00:04:30,056 --> 00:04:33,625
? Happy birthday to ya ?

120
00:04:33,678 --> 00:04:35,946
? Happy birthday to ya ?

121
00:04:35,981 --> 00:04:37,048
Yeah!

122
00:04:37,065 --> 00:04:39,934
? Happy birthday! ?

123
00:04:43,429 --> 00:04:46,865
Ah. "Black lives matter"?

124
00:04:46,917 --> 00:04:48,517
What's that about?

125
00:04:48,541 --> 00:04:49,535
We live in a time where

126
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:50,723
the police can indiscriminately...

127
00:04:50,742 --> 00:04:52,910
I know what it means, Maxine.

128
00:04:52,943 --> 00:04:56,746
But why are you wearing
that on my baby's birthday?

129
00:04:56,802 --> 00:05:00,304
Well, the police shot an
unarmed man in West Charlotte

130
00:05:00,356 --> 00:05:02,090
and people are protesting downtown.

131
00:05:02,116 --> 00:05:03,317
Oh... It's so exciting

132
00:05:03,337 --> 00:05:05,171
to see all our people down there.

133
00:05:05,198 --> 00:05:07,933
Voices are being heard,
change is happening...

134
00:05:07,975 --> 00:05:10,709
Do you always get this giddy
when somebody gets shot?

135
00:05:12,713 --> 00:05:14,715
You guys, let's not
talk about this anymore.

136
00:05:14,745 --> 00:05:15,979
Let's get back to the song.

137
00:05:15,998 --> 00:05:17,965
? Happy birthday to... ?

138
00:05:17,995 --> 00:05:19,296
Oh, come on, y'all.

139
00:05:19,316 --> 00:05:21,650
- Jerrod, hush. This is important.
- Yes, I was

140
00:05:21,685 --> 00:05:22,885
trying to explain to him earlier.

141
00:05:22,903 --> 00:05:24,838
It's our generation's chance to be heard.

142
00:05:24,868 --> 00:05:27,403
You know, here in Charlotte,
you are four times more likely

143
00:05:27,441 --> 00:05:29,208
to be arrested if you're black than white.

144
00:05:29,235 --> 00:05:31,136
Oh, Joe, I don't like those numbers.

145
00:05:31,165 --> 00:05:33,366
Oh, no, no, no.

146
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:34,599
Slow down.

147
00:05:34,618 --> 00:05:36,619
I hope you're not thinking
about going out there.

148
00:05:36,649 --> 00:05:39,785
Protests are filled with
too much sexual energy.

149
00:05:39,832 --> 00:05:41,199
What?!

150
00:05:41,219 --> 00:05:42,753
That's right. I don't need

151
00:05:42,777 --> 00:05:45,745
my wife around all those
rebellious black men.

152
00:05:45,790 --> 00:05:48,592
Protests make you sexy. It's a fact.

153
00:05:48,634 --> 00:05:51,302
That is just not a fact.

154
00:05:51,341 --> 00:05:52,775
Okay, think about it:

155
00:05:52,798 --> 00:05:55,900
Without protests, Malcolm X was a four.

156
00:05:55,947 --> 00:05:58,048
Malcolm X was a ginger.

157
00:05:58,079 --> 00:05:59,813
The man was a black ginger

158
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,241
and nobody even noticed.

159
00:06:02,277 --> 00:06:04,612
Oh, he's just talking nonsense.

160
00:06:04,648 --> 00:06:06,115
I loved protesting.

161
00:06:06,137 --> 00:06:09,072
Oh, the electricity in the air.

162
00:06:09,116 --> 00:06:11,684
The smell of change on the horizon.

163
00:06:11,722 --> 00:06:14,657
The sounds of civil rights hymns.

164
00:06:19,612 --> 00:06:20,845
See, this is what I'm talking about.

165
00:06:20,863 --> 00:06:23,565
Now they're getting all worked up.

166
00:06:24,723 --> 00:06:26,691
Yeah, Cynthia. Oh!

167
00:06:26,722 --> 00:06:28,556
You know, I'm inspired
by all that stuff, too.

168
00:06:28,583 --> 00:06:30,217
I'm inspired by your generation,

169
00:06:30,242 --> 00:06:31,776
who laid the groundwork for mine.

170
00:06:31,799 --> 00:06:34,767
I almost miss the inequality of the '60s,

171
00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:37,580
I loved protesting that much.

172
00:06:37,622 --> 00:06:38,955
Mm-hmm.

173
00:06:38,976 --> 00:06:40,310
You know, Maxine is right...

174
00:06:40,330 --> 00:06:42,598
these young people need to get out there

175
00:06:42,632 --> 00:06:45,334
and stand up for what they believe in.

176
00:06:45,375 --> 00:06:47,499
I don't think anybody
needs to be out there.

177
00:06:47,531 --> 00:06:48,207
Thank you.

178
00:06:48,218 --> 00:06:49,652
No, I watched the news this morning.

179
00:06:49,674 --> 00:06:51,175
We don't have all the facts.

180
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:52,699
Now, I've seen plenty of these protests,

181
00:06:52,721 --> 00:06:53,955
and I'm just gonna say this:

182
00:06:53,974 --> 00:06:55,941
sometimes black people

183
00:06:55,971 --> 00:06:58,440
have a tendency to jump to conclusions.

184
00:06:58,477 --> 00:07:00,778
Jump to conclusions?!

185
00:07:00,813 --> 00:07:01,946
Well, look at you.

186
00:07:01,964 --> 00:07:03,465
You read a damn T-shirt,

187
00:07:03,488 --> 00:07:04,855
now you're encouraging Maxine

188
00:07:04,875 --> 00:07:06,542
- to go out there and protest.
- Yeah,

189
00:07:06,568 --> 00:07:08,169
yeah, yeah, and she's,
like, ready to ignore

190
00:07:08,193 --> 00:07:10,728
her son's birthday. You haven't
even seen the news story yet.

191
00:07:10,766 --> 00:07:13,234
The sad part is I don't have to see it.

192
00:07:13,271 --> 00:07:14,338
- Mm-hmm.
- Well, okay,

193
00:07:14,355 --> 00:07:15,822
you know, I will say that sometimes

194
00:07:15,844 --> 00:07:17,578
there's a legitimate reason to protest.

195
00:07:17,605 --> 00:07:19,739
But sometimes I say to myself,

196
00:07:19,771 --> 00:07:22,006
"Why are they running from
the cops in the first place?"

197
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,540
- Joe!
- What?

198
00:07:23,563 --> 00:07:24,597
I mean, you think just because

199
00:07:24,613 --> 00:07:25,846
he's black, he's innocent?

200
00:07:25,865 --> 00:07:27,666
What? I'm just being honest

201
00:07:27,694 --> 00:07:28,694
about how I feel.

202
00:07:28,709 --> 00:07:29,976
I thought I was in a safe place.

203
00:07:29,996 --> 00:07:31,128
Okay.

204
00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:37,202
No matter what he did, he was unarmed.

205
00:07:37,241 --> 00:07:38,909
So we need to make sure that people

206
00:07:38,933 --> 00:07:40,600
are held accountable for their actions.

207
00:07:40,626 --> 00:07:42,494
And that's why we should
be down there, Jerrod.

208
00:07:42,522 --> 00:07:44,189
So you really think protesting
makes people accountable

209
00:07:44,215 --> 00:07:46,082
- for their actions?
- Yes.

210
00:07:46,110 --> 00:07:47,611
Okay, then why did I see George Zimmerman

211
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:48,868
at a Dave and Busters, Maxine?

212
00:07:48,888 --> 00:07:50,622
At a Dave and Busters!

213
00:07:50,648 --> 00:07:53,750
You did not see George
Zimmerman at Dave and Busters.

214
00:07:53,796 --> 00:07:55,063
Well, I could have.

215
00:07:55,082 --> 00:07:56,549
He's free enough to do it.

216
00:07:56,572 --> 00:07:59,073
I mean... all I'm saying
is this: like, people got

217
00:07:59,111 --> 00:08:01,880
all up in arms after Trayvon
died, and George Zimmerman's

218
00:08:01,921 --> 00:08:03,888
now running around the
country and is probably

219
00:08:03,918 --> 00:08:07,553
gonna be Donald Trump's
running mate for president.

220
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:11,835
Well, that is why I'm going down there.

221
00:08:11,873 --> 00:08:14,008
I can hear the bells of justice ringing

222
00:08:14,041 --> 00:08:15,642
and I'm answering the call.

223
00:08:15,667 --> 00:08:18,001
Maxine,

224
00:08:18,035 --> 00:08:21,004
I'm gonna show you how to protest.

225
00:08:21,049 --> 00:08:23,117
Yeah! Me and Cynthia.

226
00:08:23,148 --> 00:08:24,548
Me and the Cynth.

227
00:08:24,569 --> 00:08:25,903
Making change.

228
00:08:25,925 --> 00:08:27,859
Making change and taking names.

229
00:08:27,888 --> 00:08:30,055
Uh... Ah, ah, ah! Young lady...

230
00:08:32,051 --> 00:08:33,819
Joe...

231
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:35,314
I'm going upstairs to change

232
00:08:35,336 --> 00:08:38,470
into my civil rights clothes.

233
00:08:41,868 --> 00:08:43,704
Yeah, well, if somebody hits on you,

234
00:08:43,732 --> 00:08:45,865
it's gonna be another black man shot.

235
00:08:48,911 --> 00:08:51,346
Man, it is pandemonium out there.

236
00:08:51,382 --> 00:08:53,217
Oh, it's, like, thousands
of people out there, man.

237
00:08:53,246 --> 00:08:55,080
It is crazy. I mean, they
called the National Guard.

238
00:08:55,107 --> 00:08:56,841
Well, you know, Mom

239
00:08:56,867 --> 00:08:58,434
and Maxine are going out there, too.

240
00:08:58,459 --> 00:08:59,993
Uh-uh. Y'all need to be careful, man.

241
00:09:00,016 --> 00:09:01,917
Things are escalating real fast down there.

242
00:09:01,946 --> 00:09:04,080
Man, in fact, I hear they rioting, too.

243
00:09:04,112 --> 00:09:06,147
That's just the media. They always do this.

244
00:09:06,178 --> 00:09:07,878
They just find a couple
looters and make it seem like

245
00:09:07,903 --> 00:09:09,771
that's the entire scene, when in fact,

246
00:09:09,801 --> 00:09:12,536
a majority of the people
are protesting peacefully.

247
00:09:25,068 --> 00:09:26,770
Happy birthday, Jerrod.

248
00:09:26,795 --> 00:09:28,561
Got you a TV, man.

249
00:09:29,909 --> 00:09:31,277
Whoa!

250
00:09:31,298 --> 00:09:32,898
I am thirsty. I got to
get something to drink.

251
00:09:32,922 --> 00:09:35,624
I've been protesting all morning.

252
00:09:39,456 --> 00:09:41,224
Okay...

253
00:09:41,251 --> 00:09:42,885
so...

254
00:09:42,909 --> 00:09:45,077
do you guys think that she's one of the...

255
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:46,644
peaceful protesters?

256
00:09:46,668 --> 00:09:47,902
Oh... Come on.

257
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:49,254
You don't think that she would...

258
00:09:49,275 --> 00:09:51,376
Oh, no, that's exactly what I think.

259
00:09:51,407 --> 00:09:52,875
Okay, Bobby, you were married to her...

260
00:09:52,897 --> 00:09:54,964
- you don't...
- Yeah, she definitely did that.

261
00:09:54,996 --> 00:09:56,397
All right, well,

262
00:09:56,419 --> 00:09:59,054
- I'm gonna have to ask her.
- No, you can't ask her.

263
00:09:59,093 --> 00:10:00,892
I got $50 says she did it.

264
00:10:04,237 --> 00:10:05,205
Mmm.

265
00:10:05,220 --> 00:10:08,022
Oh, Nekeisha was thirsty.

266
00:10:08,064 --> 00:10:09,965
Hey... hey, Nekeisha, come here, sit down.

267
00:10:09,994 --> 00:10:12,729
Sit right here. Sit right here, Nekeisha.

268
00:10:12,770 --> 00:10:14,838
Hey. Um...

269
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:17,104
there's no easy way

270
00:10:17,137 --> 00:10:20,640
of asking this, but, um...

271
00:10:20,693 --> 00:10:22,859
did you loot that TV?

272
00:10:24,314 --> 00:10:27,216
Are you asking me if I stole this TV?

273
00:10:29,155 --> 00:10:31,124
Yeah, yeah, I'm, uh,

274
00:10:31,153 --> 00:10:33,321
I'm asking if you stole the TV.

275
00:10:33,354 --> 00:10:34,854
Well, I'm offended.

276
00:10:34,877 --> 00:10:37,746
I did not steal that TV.

277
00:10:37,789 --> 00:10:39,756
Oh, my God. 'Cause I was like, "What?"

278
00:10:39,786 --> 00:10:41,087
Yeah, me, too.

279
00:10:41,107 --> 00:10:42,741
- Me, too... me, too.
- Got me.

280
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,900
It was already stolen when I stole it.

281
00:10:45,812 --> 00:10:47,914
Come on.

282
00:10:47,946 --> 00:10:49,546
Damn it, I knew it!

283
00:10:49,570 --> 00:10:52,205
What? I took it from a looter.
If anything, I rescued this TV.

284
00:10:52,245 --> 00:10:53,646
Oh, come on.

285
00:10:53,668 --> 00:10:56,603
You know I can't take a
stolen television, Nekeisha.

286
00:10:56,646 --> 00:10:59,081
But I stole it from the bottom of my heart.

287
00:10:59,118 --> 00:11:02,287
You know something, Nekeisha,
this TV is going back.

288
00:11:02,334 --> 00:11:04,301
I cannot be an officer of the law and
let this happen... it's going back.

289
00:11:04,331 --> 00:11:05,932
- You aren't no officer of the law.
- I am an officer of the law!

290
00:11:05,957 --> 00:11:08,191
- You're a mall security guard!
- No, I got a badge.

291
00:11:08,224 --> 00:11:09,692
- No, man, you don't even have a gun.
- I got mace!

292
00:11:09,714 --> 00:11:10,947
You just got a flashlight, man.

293
00:11:10,967 --> 00:11:12,301
You ain't the boss of me!

294
00:11:12,321 --> 00:11:14,488
Okay, let's do this!

295
00:11:20,344 --> 00:11:23,479
Don't you walk out my house
looking that good, girl.

296
00:11:25,388 --> 00:11:26,957
Oh, wow, you look amazing.

297
00:11:26,981 --> 00:11:29,082
You have to look good so
when they treat you bad,

298
00:11:29,114 --> 00:11:30,780
makes them look worse.

299
00:11:32,023 --> 00:11:33,958
That's Protest 101.

300
00:11:33,988 --> 00:11:38,392
Oh, and you need to
have uncomfortable shoes.

301
00:11:38,457 --> 00:11:40,024
You wearing those?

302
00:11:40,049 --> 00:11:42,616
Oh, yeah, I'll be fine.
They're-they're wedges.

303
00:11:45,701 --> 00:11:47,803
All right, fine.

304
00:11:47,835 --> 00:11:49,503
Come on, Maxine, let's go.

305
00:11:49,528 --> 00:11:50,928
Yeah. Let's go...

306
00:11:50,950 --> 00:11:52,517
make a difference.

307
00:11:52,540 --> 00:11:54,008
Come on, C Pound.

308
00:11:54,031 --> 00:11:56,164
You know, you're trying too hard, Maxine.

309
00:11:58,058 --> 00:12:00,561
Well, forget about my birthday!

310
00:12:00,599 --> 00:12:02,266
Well, you're getting too damn old

311
00:12:02,291 --> 00:12:03,725
for your birthday anyway, son.

312
00:12:03,747 --> 00:12:06,715
Welcome to being an adult.

313
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:09,995
Nobody cares if you die,
nobody cares if you age,

314
00:12:10,044 --> 00:12:11,945
and I didn't get you a gift.

315
00:12:16,798 --> 00:12:17,498
_ _

316
00:12:26,808 --> 00:12:28,058
What's wrong, son?

317
00:12:28,568 --> 00:12:29,520
You all worked up

318
00:12:29,535 --> 00:12:31,269
'cause nobody's celebrating your birthday?

319
00:12:31,295 --> 00:12:32,996
Well, I'm gonna tell you

320
00:12:33,023 --> 00:12:35,658
the story of the day of your birth.

321
00:12:35,697 --> 00:12:37,291
Now, first of all, let me just say,

322
00:12:37,315 --> 00:12:39,008
a lot of people have the misconception

323
00:12:39,034 --> 00:12:41,870
that a miracle cannot be disgusting.

324
00:12:41,912 --> 00:12:43,412
Right.

325
00:12:43,435 --> 00:12:46,237
Why did Mom and Maxine have
to go out there now, you know?

326
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:47,479
It's not like

327
00:12:47,498 --> 00:12:49,566
two more protestors are gonna end racism.

328
00:12:49,597 --> 00:12:50,764
So you're angry.

329
00:12:50,782 --> 00:12:52,683
No, I'm not angry! I...

330
00:12:52,712 --> 00:12:54,212
I just don't understand

331
00:12:54,235 --> 00:12:57,104
why someone had to get shot on my birthday.

332
00:12:57,147 --> 00:12:59,715
I get it.

333
00:12:59,754 --> 00:13:01,854
It's shocking.

334
00:13:02,766 --> 00:13:04,034
But this is nothing new.

335
00:13:04,053 --> 00:13:06,121
This has been going on for a long time.

336
00:13:06,152 --> 00:13:07,819
Nothing surprises me anymore.

337
00:13:07,845 --> 00:13:09,313
Shoot, I was there

338
00:13:09,335 --> 00:13:11,436
when Ozzie Osborne bit
the head off that pigeon.

339
00:13:11,468 --> 00:13:13,268
Oh, I've seen a lot.

340
00:13:13,296 --> 00:13:14,930
Look, I-I know it's not new.

341
00:13:14,955 --> 00:13:17,424
I mean, look, being young
and black in America...

342
00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:19,094
you're gonna get stopped by the cops.

343
00:13:19,119 --> 00:13:20,486
You know, it's like jury duty.

344
00:13:20,507 --> 00:13:22,074
Sometimes your number's gonna be up.

345
00:13:22,098 --> 00:13:23,632
Oh... just the other week, right,

346
00:13:23,656 --> 00:13:25,557
I was out getting a cup of coffee.

347
00:13:25,586 --> 00:13:27,420
What kind of coffee?

348
00:13:27,447 --> 00:13:28,714
Why does that matter?

349
00:13:28,734 --> 00:13:30,368
I'm a visual thinker, Jerrod.

350
00:13:30,393 --> 00:13:31,359
Okay. Fine.

351
00:13:31,374 --> 00:13:32,408
Iced coffee.

352
00:13:32,424 --> 00:13:34,024
Thank you. Now I can see it.

353
00:13:34,049 --> 00:13:36,117
Okay. So I was out getting iced coffee,

354
00:13:36,148 --> 00:13:38,249
and then, out of nowhere,
these four cops came,

355
00:13:38,281 --> 00:13:39,681
and they pulled guns on me,

356
00:13:39,703 --> 00:13:41,538
and they forced me down to the ground,

357
00:13:41,565 --> 00:13:43,065
and they handcuffed me, and I, like,

358
00:13:43,088 --> 00:13:45,356
had a mark on my face from
it hitting the sidewalk.

359
00:13:45,390 --> 00:13:46,724
You know, and, uh,

360
00:13:46,745 --> 00:13:49,947
you know, it was all
because I fit a description.

361
00:13:49,994 --> 00:13:51,962
Look, son...

362
00:13:51,993 --> 00:13:54,594
I'm sorry you had to go through that.

363
00:13:54,632 --> 00:13:56,166
But let me ask you something.

364
00:13:56,190 --> 00:13:57,824
Do you recall what you were wearing

365
00:13:57,849 --> 00:13:59,583
when you got stopped by the cops?

366
00:13:59,609 --> 00:14:02,978
- Why does it matter what I was wearing?
- Just answer the question.

367
00:14:03,029 --> 00:14:06,498
- A hoody, if you must know.
- Bingo.

368
00:14:06,549 --> 00:14:07,816
What do you mean, "Bingo"?

369
00:14:07,836 --> 00:14:09,670
Now, one more question:
How were you walking?

370
00:14:09,698 --> 00:14:11,366
- What do you mean, how was I walking?
- Yeah.

371
00:14:11,391 --> 00:14:13,558
Get up right now and show me your walk.

372
00:14:13,591 --> 00:14:14,425
Are you kidding me?

373
00:14:14,438 --> 00:14:15,571
No, I'm not kidding you.

374
00:14:15,589 --> 00:14:16,723
Go on.

375
00:14:16,741 --> 00:14:18,008
Are we really gonna do this?

376
00:14:18,027 --> 00:14:19,327
We are really gonna do this.

377
00:14:19,347 --> 00:14:20,881
Fine, I'll show you my walk.

378
00:14:20,904 --> 00:14:22,137
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

379
00:14:22,156 --> 00:14:23,557
What?!

380
00:14:23,579 --> 00:14:26,080
That is one suspicious
walk you got there, son.

381
00:14:26,118 --> 00:14:27,819
You always walk like that?

382
00:14:27,844 --> 00:14:29,545
It's my walk. It's how I walk.

383
00:14:29,572 --> 00:14:31,639
Well, I'm your father
and I'd never shoot you,

384
00:14:31,669 --> 00:14:34,404
but that is one aggressive stroll you got.

385
00:14:34,446 --> 00:14:36,346
I blame it on the hip-hop.

386
00:14:37,662 --> 00:14:39,264
You know what I'm starting to realize?

387
00:14:39,288 --> 00:14:40,521
I'm starting to realize

388
00:14:40,539 --> 00:14:42,440
it's just that type of prejudiced thinking

389
00:14:42,469 --> 00:14:44,704
that got me stopped by the
cops in the first place.

390
00:14:44,738 --> 00:14:46,305
No, this is the kind of thinking

391
00:14:46,329 --> 00:14:47,863
that's kept me safe all these years.

392
00:14:47,887 --> 00:14:49,888
I prejudge, Jerrod.

393
00:14:49,918 --> 00:14:51,118
I'm not prejudiced,

394
00:14:51,136 --> 00:14:54,270
but I will prejudge your behind like hell.

395
00:14:55,842 --> 00:14:57,310
That's how you get through life, huh?

396
00:14:57,332 --> 00:14:59,300
It's the only way to get through life.

397
00:14:59,330 --> 00:15:03,299
I'm only telling you this,
son, to keep you safe.

398
00:15:03,358 --> 00:15:04,926
She still loves me.

399
00:15:04,950 --> 00:15:07,451
No, I don't.

400
00:15:07,488 --> 00:15:09,523
Look, somebody tried to hit
me in the head with a bottle,

401
00:15:09,554 --> 00:15:10,954
and Nekeisha caught it before it hit me.

402
00:15:10,976 --> 00:15:13,845
I thought there was beer still in it.

403
00:15:13,888 --> 00:15:16,489
You saved my life.

404
00:15:16,527 --> 00:15:20,163
We all have our regrets.

405
00:15:22,013 --> 00:15:23,513
Give me a second.

406
00:15:23,536 --> 00:15:24,770
I was running very fast. Oh.

407
00:15:24,789 --> 00:15:26,656
Catch your breath. Catch your breath, baby.

408
00:15:26,684 --> 00:15:28,185
- Catch your breath.
- Oh. Oh.

409
00:15:28,208 --> 00:15:29,308
Are you okay? Where's Maxine?

410
00:15:29,326 --> 00:15:30,493
The police...

411
00:15:30,510 --> 00:15:32,477
they put out a city-wide curfew.

412
00:15:32,507 --> 00:15:33,841
Okay. And...?

413
00:15:33,861 --> 00:15:35,995
The cops came, and we all ran.

414
00:15:36,028 --> 00:15:37,596
Okay, but where's Maxine, Ma?

415
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:39,921
I'm telling you... this generation...

416
00:15:39,956 --> 00:15:43,392
they have no idea how to protest.

417
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,209
It was chaos.

418
00:15:45,236 --> 00:15:48,171
Everybody yelling,
people selling T-shirts...

419
00:15:48,215 --> 00:15:49,849
there were food carts.

420
00:15:49,874 --> 00:15:52,910
It was like a street festival out there.

421
00:15:52,956 --> 00:15:54,423
Oh, which reminds me:

422
00:15:54,446 --> 00:15:57,513
I brought you that Mexican corn you like.

423
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,888
Okay, yeah, but, Ma, where's Maxine?

424
00:16:00,912 --> 00:16:03,513
There was a DJ down there.

425
00:16:03,552 --> 00:16:05,553
You don't play music

426
00:16:05,583 --> 00:16:08,619
on a laptop at a protest!

427
00:16:08,665 --> 00:16:10,265
You sing!

428
00:16:10,289 --> 00:16:11,957
Everybody knows that.

429
00:16:11,983 --> 00:16:13,650
That's right. Show 'em how it's done, baby.

430
00:16:13,675 --> 00:16:17,111
? Will the circle... ?

431
00:16:17,162 --> 00:16:19,964
? Be unbroken ?

432
00:16:20,006 --> 00:16:23,341
? By and by, Lord ?

433
00:16:23,391 --> 00:16:25,759
? By and by... ?

434
00:16:25,795 --> 00:16:28,197
- I love when you sing, Mama!
- Ma, tell me,

435
00:16:28,233 --> 00:16:29,400
tell me... where's Maxine?

436
00:16:29,418 --> 00:16:33,220
? There's a better ?

437
00:16:33,277 --> 00:16:35,879
? Place awaiting ?

438
00:16:35,917 --> 00:16:37,951
? In the sky, Lord ?

439
00:16:37,982 --> 00:16:40,551
? In... ?

440
00:16:40,590 --> 00:16:44,092
? The sky! ?

441
00:16:44,144 --> 00:16:46,345
? Ooh! ?

442
00:16:48,004 --> 00:16:50,238
- Damn, you sexy when you protest.
- Oh!

443
00:16:50,271 --> 00:16:52,272
Boys, your mama left the house a ten.

444
00:16:52,303 --> 00:16:54,104
She done came back a 15!

445
00:16:54,131 --> 00:16:55,565
Look at you.

446
00:16:55,588 --> 00:16:58,256
The sweat of justice
dripping off your forehead.

447
00:16:58,296 --> 00:17:00,397
I'm coming in, baby.

448
00:17:00,428 --> 00:17:03,430
Stop. Stop. Ma, Ma, Ma... Maxine!

449
00:17:03,475 --> 00:17:05,009
Maxine! Where is she?

450
00:17:05,032 --> 00:17:06,266
- Oh, her?
- Yes.

451
00:17:06,285 --> 00:17:07,719
Yes. Her.

452
00:17:07,742 --> 00:17:09,042
She got arrested.

453
00:17:09,062 --> 00:17:10,729
What?!

454
00:17:10,755 --> 00:17:14,658
You mean they're rounding
up white people now, too?

455
00:17:14,716 --> 00:17:16,917
And-and you just left her?
She okay? Where is she?

456
00:17:16,949 --> 00:17:19,184
I had to. You should have seen

457
00:17:19,218 --> 00:17:21,753
how easy it was for the
police to pick her up.

458
00:17:21,791 --> 00:17:25,093
You got to make that girl eat more.

459
00:17:25,142 --> 00:17:27,744
Damn!

460
00:17:27,784 --> 00:17:29,084
He mad.

461
00:17:29,103 --> 00:17:30,704
I know. Look at him. He's pissed.

462
00:17:30,730 --> 00:17:32,831
Yeah, yeah, I'm a little
pissed, okay? All right?

463
00:17:32,862 --> 00:17:34,362
My mom ignored my birthday,

464
00:17:34,385 --> 00:17:36,520
I was racially profiled by my father,

465
00:17:36,552 --> 00:17:37,752
and now my girlfriend's in jail.

466
00:17:37,771 --> 00:17:39,138
So, yes, I'm a little bit pissed.

467
00:17:39,159 --> 00:17:43,028
Oh, honey! Jerrod!

468
00:17:43,085 --> 00:17:45,086
Oh... Jerrod, baby, listen!

469
00:17:45,117 --> 00:17:46,818
I'm sorry

470
00:17:46,844 --> 00:17:49,879
about your girlfriend,
but you got to tell her...

471
00:17:49,924 --> 00:17:52,725
you can't wear wedges to a protest.

472
00:17:54,291 --> 00:17:56,226
You can't run in those.

473
00:17:56,256 --> 00:17:57,556
Thanks, Ma.

474
00:17:57,575 --> 00:17:59,610
I'll be sure to pass that along.

475
00:17:59,641 --> 00:18:01,774
He all right.

476
00:18:03,126 --> 00:18:04,595
Can't believe that I did it.

477
00:18:04,618 --> 00:18:06,218
I was there.

478
00:18:06,243 --> 00:18:09,312
I didn't hear about it, I didn't
see it on TV, or read about it.

479
00:18:09,357 --> 00:18:11,558
I had handcuffs on.

480
00:18:11,592 --> 00:18:13,693
Well, actually they were
just little twist-ties,

481
00:18:13,724 --> 00:18:17,260
but still, I was arrested
protesting like Rosa Parks.

482
00:18:17,313 --> 00:18:19,147
All right, all right, relax.

483
00:18:19,175 --> 00:18:21,810
Pretty sure Rosa didn't
stop by a Steak and Shake

484
00:18:21,850 --> 00:18:24,285
on the way home from jail.

485
00:18:24,321 --> 00:18:26,956
You know, I had no idea
your mom could hop a fence.

486
00:18:26,996 --> 00:18:28,063
Mm.

487
00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:31,314
All right, I, uh... I got you something.

488
00:18:31,363 --> 00:18:34,866
And I know you don't like
surprises, so, it's a hamburger.

489
00:18:34,918 --> 00:18:37,886
Thank you. Appreciate it.

490
00:18:37,931 --> 00:18:40,533
I'm sorry I wasn't there
for you on your birthday.

491
00:18:40,572 --> 00:18:43,441
I don't want you to think it
was just about my birthday.

492
00:18:43,483 --> 00:18:44,950
You know? I'm not that selfish.

493
00:18:46,326 --> 00:18:48,895
I, uh, was talking to my father,

494
00:18:48,934 --> 00:18:51,936
and, uh, he made me realize

495
00:18:51,981 --> 00:18:53,915
that this whole thing hits a little...

496
00:18:53,945 --> 00:18:56,513
closer to home than I
care to admit, you know?

497
00:18:56,551 --> 00:18:57,918
I mean,

498
00:18:57,940 --> 00:18:59,941
that kid could've been me, Maxine.

499
00:18:59,971 --> 00:19:02,306
And I know you think
that protesting goes out

500
00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:04,508
and solves the problem, but I don't know.

501
00:19:04,541 --> 00:19:08,709
This is something I have to
deal with every single day.

502
00:19:09,618 --> 00:19:11,752
You know I'm black, right?

503
00:19:22,855 --> 00:19:24,055
Eh.

504
00:19:27,460 --> 00:19:29,529
Honey, I know this is hard,

505
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,862
but I'm so glad that
you're opening up about it.

506
00:19:32,912 --> 00:19:34,846
You know, we can do
something about it together.

507
00:19:34,874 --> 00:19:37,676
Oh, it can be something
that we do every birthday.

508
00:19:37,719 --> 00:19:39,453
Fighting for change.

509
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,381
Me and J-Man...

510
00:19:41,410 --> 00:19:44,712
taking names and fighting on birthdays.

511
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,229
We really got to work on
your nicknames, Maxine.

512
00:19:48,281 --> 00:19:51,150
I'm glad you're home safe.

513
00:19:51,193 --> 00:19:53,327
Mm. Me, too.

514
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,328
And... I'm glad I get to spend

515
00:19:56,373 --> 00:19:58,107
the rest of my birthday

516
00:19:58,133 --> 00:20:01,002
lying next to the woman I love.

517
00:20:01,045 --> 00:20:03,211
Mm.

518
00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:13,383
Hey, Maxine?

519
00:20:13,402 --> 00:20:15,203
Hey,

520
00:20:15,230 --> 00:20:17,798
before you get in the
bed, you want to maybe

521
00:20:17,836 --> 00:20:20,537
hop in the shower, get
all that prison off of you?

522
00:20:21,662 --> 00:20:22,929
No!

523
00:20:23,828 --> 00:20:26,163
Come on!

524
00:20:27,445 --> 00:20:28,145
_ _

525
00:20:29,607 --> 00:20:32,710
Okay, let's see it.

526
00:20:32,756 --> 00:20:34,757
Yeah. Okay.

527
00:20:35,949 --> 00:20:36,886
- What?!
- I never noticed that before.

528
00:20:36,901 --> 00:20:38,769
I didn't raise you to
walk like that, Jerrod.

529
00:20:38,797 --> 00:20:40,297
What you talking about? No.

530
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,422
All right, there is
nothing wrong with my walk.

531
00:20:42,453 --> 00:20:43,686
It's just how I walk.

532
00:20:43,706 --> 00:20:44,906
No, dude, you look like you're about

533
00:20:44,924 --> 00:20:46,692
to pull a pistol out
your boot or something.

534
00:20:46,719 --> 00:20:47,952
Then let me try it.

535
00:20:47,971 --> 00:20:49,539
Okay, let's go, boy. You go. You do it.

536
00:20:49,563 --> 00:20:50,996
Here we go. Let me... Mind
if I...? Let me tie my shoes.

537
00:20:51,018 --> 00:20:53,520
Aah! Don't you put your foot on my table!

538
00:20:53,558 --> 00:20:55,225
- What are you...?
- Oh.

539
00:20:55,251 --> 00:20:59,187

00:21:06,557 --> 00:21:08,559
Aw, come on!

543
00:21:08,590 --> 00:21:10,557
Come on, that's just as aggressive.

544
00:21:10,586 --> 00:21:12,621
What is that? You're like Huckleberry.

545
00:21:12,652 --> 00:21:15,754
Your dad's right... you guys
got some aggressive strolls.

546
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,034
Anybody want anything from the kitchen?

547
00:21:18,069 --> 00:21:19,569
Whoa, whoa!

548
00:21:24,432 --> 00:21:27,202
