Jesus was a man of peace,
but he wasn't soft.

You can best believe
when some nonsense

jumped off in Nazareth,

he didn't stay quiet
or mind his business.

Jesus wasn't no punk.

No, he had some hood in him.

Like the days those Romans
put him up on that cross.

Jesus was like,

"Oh.
That's all you got?

Well, guess what?
I'll be back."

I know you all thought Arnold
said that first,

but, no, he stole that
from Jesus.

$900?

For $900, this would need
to cook, clean,

and rub my feet.

Ooh.

Those are cute.

You know what,
I don't need this.

Just a minute, ma'am.

I believe you have some items
you haven't paid for.

Excuse me?
I don't have any items.

Let's not play games.

Exactly
where would those items be?

Ma'am, your bra area
looks awfully full.

For your information,
this is all me,

and quit looking.

Now either call a real cop,
or get out of my face.

Good-bye.

Ooh, are those on sale?

I mean, good-bye!

[upbeat gospel music]

* The soul man

Gospel.

Gospel.

More gospel.

Oh, oh--that's my jam.

[pop lock music]

*

Aw, shucks, bro.
You got to pass it to me, now.

Oh, you don't want it.
You want--you want this?

Come on, pass it to me.
Yeah, I want it--come on, now.

You sure you want it, boy?
Ahh!

Go, go, go!
Come on.

Pass that mess to me,
come on.

Daddy, come on now.
No, no, no.

All right, Daddy,
here it comes.

No, no, no--I got this, come on.
Come on here.

Ba--bah!

I don't know
what to do with it.

Daddy, why you ask for it?

Well, it looked like
so much fun.

Stamps, what are you
doing here on a Saturday?

Isn't this your big money day
where you park

your cupcake truck in front
of the Weight Watchers meeting?

Not anymore.
Cupcake business is dead.

Cupcakes are so 2014.

The new thing is French toast
on a stick.

How do they get the syrup
in 'em?

They bake it inside.

Oh, my God.

Can we get some of those now?

See, you're part
of the problem.

Now I'm broke with a cupcake
truck, and I can't even sell it.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

So the French toast thing,

do they use all kinds
of different breads?

Let's go find out.

I love French toast,
and eating off sticks.

Thanks for the support, guys.

Shut up, Stamps!

Well, it looks like somebody
had a good day of shopping.

Oh, I shopped, boys,
but I did not have a good day.

I had to go extra shopping
just to calm down!

I'm not sure
that did the trick.

Boyce, I got accused
of shoplifting at Cochere.

You know, it's across the street

from that new French toast
on the stick place.

Do you know
they bake the syrup inside?

- Yeah.
- I know.

Anyway, babe,
it was the worst.

The stupid security guard

followed me around the store
the whole time.

You know what you guilty of?

Shopping while black.

- You got that right.
- You know what?

Nobody's gonna
racially profile my baby.

I'm going down there right now
to take care of this.

You just going down there to
get some of that French toast.

No, Daddy,
I'm going to fight racism,

and if I happen to stumble upon
several French toast on a stick,

then let it be said
that I am hungry for justice!

This is Pastor Boyce
Ballentine.

I'm at the Cochere store
on Cherokee Street,

and as you can see,
I'm not alone.

Security all up on me.

See, there he is right there.

Mm-hmm.

Look at this.
$900 for this?

Right.
Whoa--you see that?

Oh--hoo! He's a speedy
little sucker, huh?

Well, I think I lost him.

No, no, nope.
There he is.

Let's follow him.

Got you.
Right there.

Huh?

I think the evidence
is clear, church.

Cochere targeted me
and my lovely wife, Lolli.

all: Mm-hmm.
- Why?

Because they say
we look suspicious.

- Mm-hmm.
- What?

- Or urban.
- Right.

- Or like a thug.
- Say what?

You know what, I'm gonna just
put it on out there.

They don't want our black asses
in there, that's right.

Okay, hey.
Okay--hey, hey.

Guys, do you have
to do that now?

Oh, we could come back Monday.

Uh, no.
No--no, no, no, no, no, no.

We need the AC working,
so y'all carry on, okay.

You see, folks, it's just not
the air conditioning

that's got me all hot
and bothered.

It's the white man that...

Not--not you guys.

Y'all good.

When I look at you,
I don't even see color.

Okay.
Okay, listen.

Church,
we got to make a stand.

- Tell it, son!
- Yes.

Tell it.

And that's why I want to see
each and every one of you

out in front of that store
at 9:00 a.m. sharp.

They don't open 'til 10:00.

10:00 a.m. sharp.

all: Let us shop or we won't
stop this protest.

both: What?
all: This protest.

both: What?

all: Let us shop
or we won't stop this protest.

both: What?
all: This protest.

- What?
- We will not be silenced,
people.

all: No!

- We will not be placated.
all: No.

We will not be--

distracted by French toast
on a stick, Lester.

But--but Reverend,
yours looked so good.

Well, I got here early
to get mine.

We will not let
Cochere treat us this way.

all: No.
- That's right!

- Okay, I was followed.
all: No.

- I was harassed!
all: No.

I had somebody question
the integrity of my bosom.

What do they want us to do,
people, shop online?

all: No.

- We are not online people.
all: No.

- We are tactile people.
- That's right!

- We like to touch things.
all: Yes.

- We like to browse.
all: Yes.

- We like to peruse.
all: Yes.

- Peruse!
- I'm just putting it out there.

We like to put things
on layaway.

all: Yes!

Keep up the fight, guys.

- Keep up the fight!
all: Keep up the fight!

Stamps, what are you doing?
Why are you late?

Bro, I'm sorry.

I was trying to get
insurance money for my truck.

Check it--last night, I left it
in a rough neighborhood

with the keys in it, and nobody
even tried to steal it.

That's how unsupportive our
people are of black businesses.

Stamps, are you aware
the irony that we are here

protesting the stereotype
that black people steal?

I am now.
Proceed.

Reverend Ballentine, the
manager has agreed to see you.

Yes!
[cheers and applause]

Of course he has,
because we are shining a light.

all: Yes!

I shall storm the castle.
[cheers and applause]

Eyes up, Paul Blart.

- Thanks, baby.
- Yeah.

Ooh.

Really?
Baby, come on now.

During the revolution?

Who says the revolution
can't smell nice?

Lolli, all right,
I need you to focus here.

We 'bout to stick it to the man.

Reverend Ballentine,
pleasure to meet you.

You're the manager?

I am, brother.
Come here, man.

Oh, okay.
We doing this.

- I ain't done.
- Oh, oh--okay, all right.

My name is Laron Butterfield.

I can't believe Boyce the Voice
is in my store.

I'm your biggest fan,
I got all your CDs, man.

Well...
Thank you, Laron.

Listen, I was in your store
three days ago,

and I was followed
around like a common criminal,

which I am not.

I am so sorry.

All right, look. I buy things.

I buy lots of things.

I would buy more things,

but all y'all real cute stuff
come in itty bitty sizes.

I mean, not everybody is built
like a 13-year-old boy.

That, sir,
is the bigger problem.

Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe.
You--you all on the grass.

I need you to get back
on the road, okay?

Okay.

Look, Laron, this store has
a pattern of racial profiling,

and we want it to stop.

All right, well,
this is news to me.

I'm appalled, but trust me,

racist elements...

will not be tolerated
in our store.

All right?

I got this.

For us, brother.
You know?

Appreciate that.

- You know what I'm saying?
- All right.

Okay, I hear a lot of talking,

but we are not
leaving your store

until we get some action,
brother.

You know, you're right,

and there's one action
that I can take right now.

For your troubles,
Mrs. Ballentine.

Just arrived from Italy.
Would you...

Shut up!

$2,000?

Don't just stand there, boys,
hug it out!

Hey--okay, all right.

My man.
My man--okay.

Stamps, streets have it
that you're having a problem

with a certain cupcake truck.

Oh, no, I don't have a problem
with it.

I'm just trying to get it stolen

or burnt up so I can collect
the insurance money.

Shh, hearing you talk
like that somebody

could get the idea that you're
committing insurance fraud.

Yes, insurance fraud, that's
exactly what I'm trying to do.

Okay, you gonna stop talking.

I'll tell you what we gonna do.

Great, no more talking.

Really excited about the arson,
though.

Church, our voices
have been heard.

The protest is over.
We won!

all: Yeah!

Oh, is--excuse me, Lolli?

- Is--is that a new purse?
- Yes, yes it is.

It's just a gift
from the management, that's all.

A little sign of respect to
make up for all the disrespect.

They gave you a pocketbook
and the problem went away?

Where's my pocketbook, pastor?

Okay, no.
No--now, now, come on.

It's not like that.

Now, I know
what you're thinking,

but the manager is black.

Mm-hmm.

All right,
and he's a fan of my music.

All right, we hugged it out.
We went up high.

We went down low.

We went in for this one right
here.

We double tapped, we saluted.

We did all of it, all right?
So it's good.

So it's good, everything's good.

- Everybody, come on, now.
- No pocketbook.

You better not be--ma'am?
You better not.

Hey, hey, hey, hey--hey!
Hey?

Whoa, how much longer you guys
gonna be?

Your company's called
Three Day Heating and Air.

You've been here, like,
two weeks.

Yeah, we get that a lot.

So the whole three day
thing means nothing?

It's really more of a goal.

Baby, I am so proud of you.

You stood up for what was right.

Ooh!
And got results.

Oh, it's no big deal.

I mean, the struggle knocked
at my door, and I answered.

Maybe we could take
the struggle to Tiffany's.

I need some new earrings.

Look who I found profiling me
in the parking lot.

I wasn't profiling you.

I was trying
to find the Reverend,

and you said, "Follow me."

You sure did.

Reverend Ballentine.

Mrs. Ballentine,
you look lovely today.

Mm-hmm.
Why are you here?

Because Laron
called me a racist.

- And?
- And I am not.

He totally threw me
under the bus.

I was just following
company policy.

Now, hold on.
That's not what Laron said.

Laron isn't even the manager
of our store.

The owner only called him in
from our Richmond Heights store

to deal with the protest
because you're...

- Black?
- Can I say that?

Yeah, it--it's not a secret.

I can't believe Laron would do
that to me; he's a fan.

Oh, please, Laron couldn't
even name one of your songs.

I caught him Wikipedia-ing you
just before you came in.

But he seemed so nice.

Lolli, that guy is what we used
to call a "cooler."

They send him in to cool off
angry black folk,

and, Boyce,
he cooled you like a popsicle.

Church, look--we are back,
and we are marching,

and we are madder than ever.

Why, Pastor?

Does Lolli need some boots
to go with her new purse?

No, Lester, Lolli doesn't need
boots to go with her purse.

Yeah, Lolli already bought
boots to go with her new purse.

In--in fact, Lolli
is ready to do the right thing

and give that purse back.

But Lolli just said
she bought boots.

Look, church,
I'll be the first one to admit

I got the wool
pulled over my eyes.

You're not the first.
We all said it yesterday.

Mm.
Yeah.

Thanks for that clarification,
Dad.

Listen, the fact is is that
we've been hoodwinked,

and we are not going anywhere

until this owner
agrees to talk with us

and Lolli can throw that purse
back in his face.

All right, then.

That is a plan,

or I could keep it and show them
that if they mess with us,

it's gonna cost them $2,000.

Wait, wait, wait.

That purse cost $2,000?
Oh, now I do want one.

Okay, all right.
Come on, Lolli.

We going in.

Oh, oh,
we all deserve a purse, pastor.

- Yeah, we do deserve something.
- We deserve a purse.

Stamps, Stamps?

The deed is done.

Great.

The deed means you
burnt up the truck, right?

I-I-I-I don't know
what you talking about.

The insurance fraud.

I know what you talking about,
now stop talking about it.

Got you.

The good news is,
I doubled my money.

How'd you do that?

Well, you know,
I was wasting my money

on liability and collision
and theft,

so I called up
the insurance company

and said, "Put it all on fire."

And--and--
and you did this today.

Don't worry about it.
I know what I'm doing.

I asked them specifically,

"Will this coverage
be valid immediately?"

All right, yeah, look.

I don't know you.

Mr. Fiore, he'll be right out.

- Big fan, huh.
- Mm-hmm.

What's your favorite song
of mine?

Quick!

I Want to Have Sex With You.

With you,
with you.

It's "witchoo," brother.

"Witchoo."

Hello.
I'm Tom Fiore.

I'm Reverend Boyce Ballentine.

This is my wife, Lolli,
and this is your purse.

Lo--come on, now.
Lolli, let it go.

Bye-bye, sugar.

Let's cut to the chase,
Reverend Ballentine.

How can you say I'm guilty
of racially profiling?

I hired a black manager.

I voted for Obama...
the first time.

And I love that Madea.

"Hellurr."

Sir, I think you fail to see the
significance of your attitude.

For 400 years,
black men and women

have faced indignities
of racism, prejudice,

and discrimination.

No more!

We will not be silent.

You know,
Pastor Boyce is right.

If you don't stand
for something,

you'll fall for anything.

How about I promote you
to regional manager?

You people need to chill,
okay?

You--you--"you people?"

You should be
a "you people" person!

So you're trying to tell me

that you treat
your black customers

no differently
than your white customers.

That's right.

So everybody's equal
in this $900 a blouse store.

The only color I see is green.

Interesting.
All right.

Fellas, come here.

Show Mr. Fiore what you have.

What the hell
is going on here?

My friends--my white friends
have been shoplifting

they asses off
for the last 15 minutes.

Mm-hmm, and guess what?

Nobody stopped them.

Well, there's a perfectly good
explanation for that.

Is the explanation
that you're racist?

No...no...no.

All right, what do you want?

Fellas, put everything back.

First, I want you to apologize
to my wife.

- Mrs. Ballentine.
- Yeah.

I am sorry, and as a gesture,
I would like to...

Shut up!

Give you this scarf.

A scarf?

I was way more offended
than that.

No, Mr. Fiore,
we cannot take your scarf.

I'm not gonna keep coming
in here looking for justice

and leaving with accessories.

So what's it gonna take?

Reverend Ballentine's
clever ruse has opened my eyes

to a serious issue.

That's right.

Discrimination
at my store ends today.

I am instituting a new policy.

From now on, we will not be
treating black customers

as potential criminals.

- All right!
- Yes, yes!

We will be treating
all customers

as potential criminals.

Well, that's equality.

You had to be a bit of a dick
about it, but it's equality.

All right,
our work here is done.

Victory party at our house!

I told you.

There's nothing in there.

I know, I...I love you!

Phil?
Don't get choked.

Congratulations
on your victory, son.

Ah, thank you, Daddy.

I couldn't have did it
without everybody's help,

and I couldn't do this
without everybody's help either.

Hey!

Hey, hey--pass that thing to me!
Come on, come on!

Don't pass to Daddy,
don't pass to Daddy.

Whatever you do.

Lester, get it, baby.

Oh--oh, oh.

- Oh.
- Okay, okay.

All right, all right, Phil.

Hey--that's it, man.
All right.

Come on, hey!

Hey, hey, hey!
Hey!
