Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,772 --> 00:00:06,476
They say 1985 was a simpler time.
2
00:00:08,508 --> 00:00:09,808
But what I think they mean
3
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:12,019
is that everything
only had two options...
4
00:00:12,082 --> 00:00:13,748
Reagan or Gorbachev...
5
00:00:13,850 --> 00:00:15,283
"Dallas" or "Dynasty"...
6
00:00:15,385 --> 00:00:16,885
Lakers or Celtics.
7
00:00:20,257 --> 00:00:22,424
And this was true for everything.
8
00:00:22,526 --> 00:00:25,226
You were either popular
or you were a nerd.
9
00:00:25,329 --> 00:00:27,228
You were either white or you were black.
10
00:00:27,297 --> 00:00:28,396
I'm on my break.
11
00:00:28,498 --> 00:00:29,898
You either did man's work,
12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,067
or you did woman's work.
13
00:00:33,570 --> 00:00:36,338
But for those of us
who didn't quite fit in...
14
00:00:39,476 --> 00:00:41,076
...or those of us who couldn't easily
15
00:00:41,178 --> 00:00:44,079
check one of the two boxes...
16
00:00:44,181 --> 00:00:46,615
I'm not sure we felt that way.
17
00:00:46,717 --> 00:00:49,017
Have fun at school today.
18
00:00:49,086 --> 00:00:52,087
Shine your true light
on everyone you see.
19
00:00:53,557 --> 00:00:55,924
I love you!
20
00:00:55,993 --> 00:00:57,092
Even though you're not yelling it back.
21
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,126
I love you, Dad!
22
00:00:58,161 --> 00:00:59,527
It's late, but I'll take it.
23
00:01:01,098 --> 00:01:02,297
Hey, Paul!
24
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:03,732
Nice apron!
25
00:01:05,802 --> 00:01:07,906
- It's a men's large.
- Whatever you say, Paul!
26
00:01:07,971 --> 00:01:09,586
- Bye!
- - Bye, honey!
27
00:01:09,679 --> 00:01:11,239
- Bye, kids!
- Bye, hon!
28
00:01:11,341 --> 00:01:13,174
So, for our family,
29
00:01:13,276 --> 00:01:14,976
who was fresh off the commune,
30
00:01:15,078 --> 00:01:18,463
1985 wasn't such a simple time.
31
00:01:20,017 --> 00:01:21,016
? In the mix ?
32
00:01:21,118 --> 00:01:23,585
? Oh, oh, oh, they keep trying ?
33
00:01:23,687 --> 00:01:25,920
? But they can't stop us ?
34
00:01:25,989 --> 00:01:28,256
? 'Cause we got a love ?
35
00:01:28,358 --> 00:01:30,592
? That keeps rising up ?
36
00:01:30,694 --> 00:01:31,826
? In the mix ?
37
00:01:31,928 --> 00:01:33,528
? Life turns around ?
38
00:01:33,630 --> 00:01:35,096
? 'Round and 'round it goes ?
39
00:01:35,198 --> 00:01:37,930
? Ooh, it's a mixed-up world ?
? Ooh, it's a mixed-up ?
40
00:01:37,992 --> 00:01:39,789
? And that's for sure ?
? Mixed-up ?
41
00:01:39,849 --> 00:01:41,482
? In the mix ?
? Baby ?
42
00:01:41,539 --> 00:01:42,859
? We're gonna get by ?
43
00:01:42,945 --> 00:01:45,206
? We're gonna ?
? On our own, side by side ?
44
00:01:45,275 --> 00:01:48,062
? Love's all we need to be free ?
? Lo-o-o-ve is all ?
45
00:01:48,117 --> 00:01:50,078
? I got you, you got me ?
46
00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:52,765
? Yaaaaay us! ?
47
00:01:52,835 --> 00:01:54,728
? I-I-In the mix ?
48
00:01:54,791 --> 00:01:57,212
? Yaaaaay us! ?
49
00:01:57,291 --> 00:01:59,896
? I-I-In the mix-ish ?

51
00:02:01,803 --> 00:02:03,370
There she is.
52
00:02:03,417 --> 00:02:04,516
Good morning.
53
00:02:04,587 --> 00:02:05,686
- Hi.
- Mwah.
54
00:02:05,746 --> 00:02:07,462
To celebrate your first day at work,
55
00:02:07,564 --> 00:02:09,449
I got you this
African war goddess statue.
56
00:02:09,527 --> 00:02:11,433
Oh. Thank you.
57
00:02:11,535 --> 00:02:13,101
What African country is it from?
58
00:02:13,203 --> 00:02:15,003
Uh...
59
00:02:15,105 --> 00:02:16,638
- Taiwan?
- Mm.
60
00:02:20,110 --> 00:02:21,076
Ooh.
61
00:02:21,178 --> 00:02:22,844
A father never forgets the first time
62
00:02:22,946 --> 00:02:24,879
he sees his son in an apron.
63
00:02:24,981 --> 00:02:28,249
Grandpa Harrison
wasn't the most progressive,
64
00:02:28,351 --> 00:02:29,751
but we loved him anyway.
65
00:02:29,853 --> 00:02:31,853
You know,
men don't have to be macho now,
66
00:02:31,955 --> 00:02:33,254
and we can hug.
67
00:02:33,356 --> 00:02:34,556
- Whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Huh?
68
00:02:34,658 --> 00:02:37,192
You have to remember, in 1985,
69
00:02:37,294 --> 00:02:39,928
being a stay-at-home dad wasn't a thing.
70
00:02:40,030 --> 00:02:41,396
Why aren't you dressed for work?
71
00:02:41,498 --> 00:02:42,597
I'm not going to work.
72
00:02:42,699 --> 00:02:43,998
- So you're working from home.
- No, Dad.
73
00:02:44,101 --> 00:02:45,600
I'm not working from home.
74
00:02:45,702 --> 00:02:47,736
- Then you're calling in sick?
- Dude, I don't have a job.
75
00:02:47,804 --> 00:02:49,671
Alicia and I decided
that I would stay home
76
00:02:49,716 --> 00:02:50,739
and take care of the kids.
77
00:02:50,774 --> 00:02:53,141
Do the kids know you're gay?
78
00:02:53,243 --> 00:02:56,344
Keep in mind, it was 1985.
79
00:02:56,446 --> 00:02:58,580
I brought the Ferrari.
80
00:02:58,682 --> 00:03:00,181
So, do you need a ride to the office?
81
00:03:00,283 --> 00:03:01,382
In my Ferrari?
82
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:04,619
- I have a Ferrari.
- No thanks.
83
00:03:04,644 --> 00:03:05,697
I'm gonna take the bus.
84
00:03:05,722 --> 00:03:08,022
We're trying to conserve gas.
85
00:03:09,292 --> 00:03:11,459
Okay, well, in case you haven't heard,
86
00:03:11,561 --> 00:03:13,027
you're allowed to sit
in the front of the bus now.
87
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:14,796
- Congratulations.
- Ah, there's no better way
88
00:03:14,865 --> 00:03:17,565
to start the day
than with some light racism.
89
00:03:17,667 --> 00:03:18,933
"Light"? Hmm.
90
00:03:19,035 --> 00:03:20,068
- Grandpa!
- Hey, Grandpa.
91
00:03:20,170 --> 00:03:22,470
Can a racist have brown grandchildren?
Come here.
92
00:03:22,572 --> 00:03:23,671
Ah!
93
00:03:23,774 --> 00:03:25,006
Who wants $5?
94
00:03:25,056 --> 00:03:25,984
- Me! Me!
- Yeah.
95
00:03:26,009 --> 00:03:27,842
I want $10! I want $10!
96
00:03:27,944 --> 00:03:30,245
For you. For you.
97
00:03:30,347 --> 00:03:31,780
And for you.
98
00:03:31,882 --> 00:03:32,981
Yeah.
99
00:03:33,083 --> 00:03:34,315
Tough negotiator.
100
00:03:34,417 --> 00:03:35,784
Alicia, see you at the office.
101
00:03:35,886 --> 00:03:38,153
We start at a white 9:00.
102
00:03:38,255 --> 00:03:41,222
Well, then I'll be there
at a black 8:55,
103
00:03:41,324 --> 00:03:42,423
which is 8:55.
104
00:03:42,526 --> 00:03:43,792
Don't be late.
105
00:03:43,894 --> 00:03:45,560
Is everybody excited
about going to school?
106
00:03:45,629 --> 00:03:47,862
Duh. Look at all
my friendship bracelets.
107
00:03:47,964 --> 00:03:51,366
Like, I'm so popular,
I can barely even move my arm.
108
00:03:51,468 --> 00:03:53,368
Yeah, well, I'm pretty popular, too.
109
00:03:53,470 --> 00:03:54,836
The homies were buggin'
110
00:03:54,938 --> 00:03:56,771
when I peed in the high toilet.
111
00:03:56,873 --> 00:03:59,574
I'm sorry. The "high toilet"?
112
00:03:59,676 --> 00:04:01,042
Yeah, the thing in front of the mirror.
113
00:04:01,111 --> 00:04:02,510
They were like, "Whoa,
114
00:04:02,612 --> 00:04:04,512
nobody's ever peed in there."
115
00:04:04,614 --> 00:04:06,314
How you like me now?
116
00:04:06,416 --> 00:04:07,982
You're gonna deal with this, right?
117
00:04:08,084 --> 00:04:10,151
It does save water.
118
00:04:10,253 --> 00:04:11,961
How's school going for you, Bow?
119
00:04:12,024 --> 00:04:13,055
Bad.
120
00:04:13,123 --> 00:04:15,123
I still haven't figured out
where I fit in,
121
00:04:15,225 --> 00:04:16,524
but I'm staying positive.
122
00:04:16,593 --> 00:04:17,926
I said hi to a girl yesterday,
123
00:04:18,028 --> 00:04:19,127
and she totally ignored me.
124
00:04:19,229 --> 00:04:22,063
I guess she could be deaf,
but I also waved.
125
00:04:22,165 --> 00:04:24,232
Point is, I could have cried,
and I didn't.
126
00:04:24,334 --> 00:04:26,601
So, even though
I haven't made any friends,
127
00:04:26,703 --> 00:04:29,404
I did make myself
my own friendship bracelet.
128
00:04:31,775 --> 00:04:33,141
She makes me sad.
129
00:04:33,243 --> 00:04:34,809
You'll get the hang
of things soon enough.
130
00:04:34,911 --> 00:04:36,344
You just have to put your mind to it.
131
00:04:36,413 --> 00:04:39,113
Now, go out there, change the world.
132
00:04:39,216 --> 00:04:40,748
Mwah. Bye. Love you.
133
00:04:40,851 --> 00:04:42,016
Love you.
134
00:04:42,118 --> 00:04:43,785
Bow.
135
00:04:43,887 --> 00:04:46,221
If anyone can do it, you can.
136
00:04:50,493 --> 00:04:51,826
Grab your bag, Bow.
137
00:04:51,928 --> 00:04:53,294
Even though Dad loved it,
138
00:04:53,396 --> 00:04:56,130
I can't emphasize enough
how weird it used to be
139
00:04:56,233 --> 00:04:57,832
for a man to stay at home.
140
00:04:57,934 --> 00:05:00,134
That's why Aunt Dee-Dee
was a little shocked
141
00:05:00,237 --> 00:05:01,569
when she came by on her lunch break
142
00:05:01,671 --> 00:05:02,770
to watch her stories.
143
00:05:04,274 --> 00:05:05,206
Oh! Hey, Denise, Denise!
144
00:05:05,308 --> 00:05:07,048
It's me. Relax.
145
00:05:07,094 --> 00:05:09,430
Oh, homeboy, you almost got got.
146
00:05:09,485 --> 00:05:10,712
Why aren't you at work?
147
00:05:10,774 --> 00:05:11,993
- Are you sick?
- No.
148
00:05:12,071 --> 00:05:13,274
- Do you have hepatitis?
- No.
149
00:05:13,316 --> 00:05:14,816
- Duh!
- No!
150
00:05:14,885 --> 00:05:16,618
Why is this so hard
for people to understand?
151
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,386
I don't have a traditional job.
152
00:05:18,455 --> 00:05:21,022
That's a waste of
perfectly good whiteness.
153
00:05:21,091 --> 00:05:22,123
It is not a waste.
154
00:05:22,192 --> 00:05:24,225
My job is to take care of the kids.
155
00:05:24,294 --> 00:05:26,227
Going through a tough transition
right now,
156
00:05:26,296 --> 00:05:28,730
so I'm the, uh, stay-at-home dad.
157
00:05:29,699 --> 00:05:31,599
Do you have any idea
what your girl could do
158
00:05:31,668 --> 00:05:33,301
with all that Caucasian?
159
00:05:33,403 --> 00:05:36,504
I'd have a house, a boat,
pay off all my layaway...
160
00:05:36,606 --> 00:05:37,906
Well, I get it.
161
00:05:37,941 --> 00:05:39,207
You and everyone else thinks
162
00:05:39,276 --> 00:05:41,109
I should sell my soul
to corporate America,
163
00:05:41,177 --> 00:05:42,143
but lucky for me,
164
00:05:42,212 --> 00:05:43,611
my wife doesn't have some caveman idea
165
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,812
of what a man should be.
166
00:05:44,881 --> 00:05:46,147
Okay, I'm-a be straight with you.
167
00:05:46,249 --> 00:05:47,615
You trippin', all right?
168
00:05:47,684 --> 00:05:49,884
You can't help your black children
169
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,085
get used to anything.
170
00:05:51,154 --> 00:05:52,754
And as far as Alicia...
171
00:05:52,856 --> 00:05:54,122
she won't tell you
172
00:05:54,157 --> 00:05:55,690
'cause she don't want to hurt
your little feelings,
173
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:58,660
but black women
don't get down with ashy men
174
00:05:58,762 --> 00:06:00,962
or men without jobs.
175
00:06:01,031 --> 00:06:02,430
So, get it together, homeboy,
176
00:06:02,499 --> 00:06:04,899
'cause right now, you both.
177
00:06:06,069 --> 00:06:07,468
Time for my stories.
178
00:06:08,972 --> 00:06:10,438
You smell like bus people.
179
00:06:10,507 --> 00:06:12,536
And what exactly
do bus people smell like?
180
00:06:12,622 --> 00:06:14,709
I'm just kidding.
I can't smell anything.
181
00:06:14,778 --> 00:06:16,811
From all that jazz salt.
182
00:06:16,913 --> 00:06:19,080
I probably should
have mentioned this before,
183
00:06:19,149 --> 00:06:20,982
but is it okay if we don't talk at work?
184
00:06:21,017 --> 00:06:23,051
Eh... I'm scared people
might think you hired me
185
00:06:23,119 --> 00:06:24,252
because you're my father-in-law.
186
00:06:24,321 --> 00:06:25,620
Well, I'll do anything you want,
187
00:06:25,689 --> 00:06:26,721
but just so you know,
188
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:28,089
people aren't going to assume nepotism.
189
00:06:28,158 --> 00:06:30,425
They're going to assume
affirmative action.
190
00:06:31,361 --> 00:06:32,393
Right on.
191
00:06:32,495 --> 00:06:33,761
Grandpa was right.
192
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:36,230
Although Mom only wanted
to be seen as an attorney,
193
00:06:36,299 --> 00:06:37,799
all people could see
when they looked at her
194
00:06:37,901 --> 00:06:39,400
was affirmative action.
195
00:06:39,469 --> 00:06:40,766
Hmm.
196
00:06:42,372 --> 00:06:44,205
Affirmative action is defined
197
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,874
as the practice or policy
of favoring individuals
198
00:06:46,943 --> 00:06:49,110
belonging to groups known to have been
199
00:06:49,145 --> 00:06:51,045
discriminated against previously.
200
00:06:54,384 --> 00:06:58,086
JFK coined the term in 1961.
201
00:06:58,154 --> 00:06:59,454
Even though the group of people
202
00:06:59,489 --> 00:07:01,622
that benefited from
affirmative action the most
203
00:07:01,725 --> 00:07:03,291
were white women,
204
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,560
many people still thought
it was just a program
205
00:07:05,595 --> 00:07:08,596
that forced companies to hire
incompetent black people
206
00:07:08,665 --> 00:07:10,465
to fill quotas.
207
00:07:14,804 --> 00:07:17,105
That's why my Mom worked so hard...
208
00:07:17,173 --> 00:07:18,373
so no one could question
209
00:07:18,475 --> 00:07:19,941
whether she deserved to be there.
210
00:07:24,066 --> 00:07:25,413
Hey, Jack?
211
00:07:25,482 --> 00:07:27,415
I just need to finish this work
212
00:07:27,450 --> 00:07:28,983
and then I'll come to the staff meeting.
213
00:07:29,052 --> 00:07:30,151
Oh, we did it without you.
214
00:07:31,187 --> 00:07:32,553
But I read your argument,
215
00:07:32,622 --> 00:07:36,424
and it is actually... really good.
216
00:07:36,526 --> 00:07:40,661
Today, we'd call this
a micro-aggression.
217
00:07:40,764 --> 00:07:41,829
"Actually." Hmm.
218
00:07:41,931 --> 00:07:43,231
But in 1985,
219
00:07:43,299 --> 00:07:45,066
they just called it a compliment.
220
00:07:45,135 --> 00:07:47,368
Coming to lunch? It's Martini Tuesday.
221
00:07:47,470 --> 00:07:49,904
Uh, no, I need to keep working on this.
222
00:07:49,973 --> 00:07:51,414
Sober.
223
00:07:51,465 --> 00:07:53,632
Well, there's always Martini Wednesday.
224
00:07:56,312 --> 00:07:59,680
And at school, there was
so much pressure to choose.
225
00:07:59,749 --> 00:08:03,551
Santamonica and Johan had made
their choice, but I couldn't.
226
00:08:03,653 --> 00:08:05,753
I was black and white.
227
00:08:08,591 --> 00:08:10,525
But I was also hungry.
228
00:08:11,728 --> 00:08:13,995
That's my Trapper Keeper! You stole it!
229
00:08:14,030 --> 00:08:16,197
Then how come it says
"Tamika Brown," stupid?
230
00:08:16,299 --> 00:08:18,032
Oh, "Tamika Brown Stupid."
231
00:08:18,134 --> 00:08:19,767
So, that's your full name.
232
00:08:19,869 --> 00:08:21,899
- Give me back my notebook!
- It's mine!
233
00:08:21,962 --> 00:08:23,430
- Give it back!
- It's mine! "Tamika"!
234
00:08:23,501 --> 00:08:25,064
"Tamika Brown." See?
235
00:08:25,135 --> 00:08:27,575
Hey! Hey! Hey!
236
00:08:27,677 --> 00:08:29,277
What is going on here?
237
00:08:29,312 --> 00:08:30,378
She stole my notebook.
238
00:08:30,447 --> 00:08:32,080
Nobody stole
your little raggedy notebook.
239
00:08:32,148 --> 00:08:33,347
Ladies.
240
00:08:33,416 --> 00:08:35,116
You are cutting into my lunch break.
241
00:08:35,185 --> 00:08:36,651
Who started it?
242
00:08:38,088 --> 00:08:40,288
There may have only been two options,
243
00:08:40,356 --> 00:08:43,558
but this was still one of
the hardest choices of my life.
244
00:08:43,660 --> 00:08:45,426
If I said Rebecca started the fight,
245
00:08:45,528 --> 00:08:46,794
it would be like choosing black.
246
00:08:46,896 --> 00:08:48,096
She started it.
247
00:08:54,604 --> 00:08:56,304
This is your President, Ronald Reagan.
248
00:08:56,372 --> 00:08:58,739
From now on, Rainbow is no longer mixed.
249
00:08:58,808 --> 00:09:00,007
She is a full black.
250
00:09:00,076 --> 00:09:01,309
Enjoy your welfare.
251
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:04,979
But if I said Tamika started it,
252
00:09:05,048 --> 00:09:06,247
it would be like choosing white.
253
00:09:06,316 --> 00:09:07,248
She started it.
254
00:09:12,555 --> 00:09:15,256
I need everyone to take
a break from their action.
255
00:09:15,358 --> 00:09:17,658
This is the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
256
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,128
Rainbow, you're now as white as can be.
257
00:09:20,163 --> 00:09:23,264
I hope you like clapping
on the one and the three.
258
00:09:23,333 --> 00:09:25,933
So I did the only thing I could...
259
00:09:26,002 --> 00:09:27,401
I choked.
260
00:09:27,470 --> 00:09:29,470
I opt to take the Vow of Noble Silence.
261
00:09:31,174 --> 00:09:32,796
All right, Bunny DeBarge,
262
00:09:32,859 --> 00:09:34,585
I have a lit cigarette waiting for me
263
00:09:34,631 --> 00:09:35,730
in the teacher's lounge,
264
00:09:35,781 --> 00:09:38,646
so detention and detention.
265
00:09:38,748 --> 00:09:41,015
Get out of here! Go!
266
00:09:48,057 --> 00:09:50,224
- Is that...
- It is.
267
00:09:50,293 --> 00:09:53,027
Daddy's famous cauliflower casserole.
268
00:09:53,129 --> 00:09:54,028
Yes!
269
00:09:54,097 --> 00:09:55,129
White broccoli!
270
00:09:55,198 --> 00:09:56,497
Why wait for a special occasion
271
00:09:56,599 --> 00:09:58,533
when I cherish every moment
with all of you?
272
00:09:58,601 --> 00:10:01,035
So, everybody, help yourself
to a big scoop of my love.
273
00:10:02,205 --> 00:10:03,371
So, tell me...
274
00:10:03,439 --> 00:10:05,239
how did everyone change the world today?
275
00:10:05,308 --> 00:10:06,741
Honey, you want to start?
276
00:10:06,809 --> 00:10:08,209
Today was... tough.
277
00:10:08,278 --> 00:10:09,710
Uh, this guy at work
278
00:10:09,779 --> 00:10:12,113
said my argument was "actually" good,
279
00:10:12,182 --> 00:10:14,682
like he was surprised
I could read and write.
280
00:10:14,751 --> 00:10:16,517
How are people still racist in 1985?
281
00:10:16,586 --> 00:10:18,252
Well, I'm not even sure,
282
00:10:18,321 --> 00:10:21,289
but today, I exposed him
to an educated queen.
283
00:10:21,391 --> 00:10:22,990
- You're doing the goddess' work.
- Mm-hmm.
284
00:10:23,092 --> 00:10:23,824
How about you guys?
285
00:10:23,927 --> 00:10:24,926
The music teacher
286
00:10:25,028 --> 00:10:26,260
heard me drumming on the lunch table.
287
00:10:28,064 --> 00:10:29,630
So, today, she taught rap in class.
288
00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:32,366
Ah... Good for you.
289
00:10:32,435 --> 00:10:36,003
Yeah, well, Aileen Russell
wouldn't stop repeating me,
290
00:10:36,072 --> 00:10:39,540
so today, I pushed her off the slide.
291
00:10:39,642 --> 00:10:40,841
Oh.
292
00:10:40,944 --> 00:10:42,076
Well, from now on,
293
00:10:42,145 --> 00:10:43,244
how about we change the world
in a positive way?
294
00:10:43,346 --> 00:10:44,645
Yeah.
295
00:10:44,747 --> 00:10:46,280
- I'll try.
- Okay.
296
00:10:46,349 --> 00:10:48,549
Well, I'm excited to hear
what Rainbow has to say.
297
00:10:48,651 --> 00:10:50,284
How did you change the world today?
298
00:10:50,386 --> 00:10:51,953
- I didn't really.
- Oh.
299
00:10:52,055 --> 00:10:54,288
- Oh, I'm sure you did. You always do.
- Well, I didn't.
300
00:10:54,390 --> 00:10:55,957
- Can we just eat?
- Oh, come on, Bow.
301
00:10:56,059 --> 00:10:58,159
I'm sure you're just leaving
something out. Don't be modest.
302
00:10:58,261 --> 00:11:00,127
How did you change the world today?
303
00:11:00,230 --> 00:11:02,129
When my dad looked at me like that,
304
00:11:02,232 --> 00:11:05,466
I knew all he saw
was promise and potential.
305
00:11:07,003 --> 00:11:08,436
School's not hard enough?
306
00:11:08,504 --> 00:11:10,471
You also expect me to change the world?
307
00:11:10,573 --> 00:11:12,707
I'm 12.
308
00:11:12,775 --> 00:11:16,310
But sometimes those shoes
were just too big to fill.
309
00:11:16,412 --> 00:11:18,012
And it's not like
you changed the world today.
310
00:11:18,037 --> 00:11:19,046
You just made dinner.
311
00:11:26,889 --> 00:11:29,204
Who does she think she's talking to?
312
00:11:37,953 --> 00:11:40,119
You can keep trying, but I promise
313
00:11:40,188 --> 00:11:42,441
people in the classifieds won't barter.
314
00:11:42,515 --> 00:11:43,871
Their loss.
315
00:11:43,933 --> 00:11:45,539
But no, I'm... I'm getting a job.
316
00:11:45,592 --> 00:11:47,726
- Are you serious?
- Mm-hmm.
317
00:11:47,761 --> 00:11:50,339
I thought we agreed
you'd stay home with the kids.
318
00:11:50,401 --> 00:11:51,630
You heard Rainbow last night.
319
00:11:51,665 --> 00:11:53,526
I mean, I can take
other people judging me,
320
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,917
- but when she said it...
- Babe, she's 12.
321
00:11:56,026 --> 00:11:57,273
No, she's right.
322
00:11:57,339 --> 00:12:00,740
I know it's hard, but you have purpose.
323
00:12:00,809 --> 00:12:01,875
I don't even have that.
324
00:12:01,943 --> 00:12:04,210
But you're gonna find purpose with...
325
00:12:04,312 --> 00:12:06,780
- data processing?
- Maybe.
326
00:12:06,815 --> 00:12:09,829
You don't know what
my hopes and dreams are.
327
00:12:09,897 --> 00:12:12,919
As Dad set out
to find purpose in his world,
328
00:12:13,021 --> 00:12:15,122
I was just trying to survive in mine.
329
00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:16,423
It's not like I'd let you,
330
00:12:16,492 --> 00:12:18,859
but how come you never
tried to sit with us?
331
00:12:18,894 --> 00:12:20,494
You some kind of Oreo?
332
00:12:20,562 --> 00:12:22,095
- Some kind of what?
- You know.
333
00:12:22,164 --> 00:12:23,997
A black person
that's white on the inside.
334
00:12:24,066 --> 00:12:27,300
Well, I'm black and white on the inside.
335
00:12:27,369 --> 00:12:30,070
And that's when I realized
how I could change the world.
336
00:12:30,139 --> 00:12:32,205
If I could just unite everyone,
337
00:12:32,274 --> 00:12:34,374
I wouldn't have to choose a side.
338
00:12:34,443 --> 00:12:35,642
Just because I'm different
339
00:12:35,744 --> 00:12:37,210
doesn't mean you, me, and Rebecca
340
00:12:37,312 --> 00:12:39,012
can't all be friends.
341
00:12:39,081 --> 00:12:40,580
Let's jump in the conflict puddle.
342
00:12:40,649 --> 00:12:42,015
Excuse me?
343
00:12:42,117 --> 00:12:43,116
Conflict puddle.
344
00:12:43,185 --> 00:12:44,351
Picture a conflict,
345
00:12:44,419 --> 00:12:46,887
all that anger, melting down our bodies,
346
00:12:46,955 --> 00:12:49,189
pooling into a puddle at our feet.
347
00:12:49,258 --> 00:12:51,525
And then we just step out of it.
348
00:12:52,751 --> 00:12:53,771
You're crazy.
349
00:12:53,796 --> 00:12:54,861
Hey, Rebecca.
350
00:12:54,963 --> 00:12:56,763
Come jump in the conflict puddle.
351
00:13:03,539 --> 00:13:05,372
Oops.
352
00:13:07,209 --> 00:13:10,577
Turns out, I did manage
to unite everyone.
353
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:15,081
It's just too bad they were all
united against me.
354
00:13:16,952 --> 00:13:18,218
What did I tell you?
355
00:13:18,287 --> 00:13:21,188
There is a man at home
in the middle of the day,
356
00:13:21,290 --> 00:13:22,622
not working.
357
00:13:22,724 --> 00:13:25,091
Girl, I didn't believe you.
358
00:13:26,795 --> 00:13:29,160
Well, I guess I'll see you back
at our job.
359
00:13:29,238 --> 00:13:30,363
- Mm-hmm.
- That's very funny,
360
00:13:30,465 --> 00:13:31,598
but a staffing agency
361
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:33,133
set me up with some interviews today.
362
00:13:33,235 --> 00:13:34,601
I have to fix my r�sum�.
363
00:13:34,703 --> 00:13:36,570
What should I put for special skills?
364
00:13:36,638 --> 00:13:37,771
Easy. Put that you white.
365
00:13:37,873 --> 00:13:39,773
- I'm serious.
- So am I.
366
00:13:39,842 --> 00:13:41,875
Being white is all you need.
367
00:13:41,977 --> 00:13:43,276
And you're crazy white.
368
00:13:43,345 --> 00:13:44,811
I'm talking Duran Duran,
369
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,881
orange-juice-with-the-pulp,
curse-at-your-mom white.
370
00:13:47,950 --> 00:13:49,649
You were right, okay?
371
00:13:49,718 --> 00:13:51,818
I-I can't help the kids
the way I thought I could.
372
00:13:51,854 --> 00:13:53,787
So, are you gonna help me
get a job or not?
373
00:13:55,090 --> 00:13:57,190
I know you're nervous,
but you have a degree.
374
00:13:57,292 --> 00:13:58,758
You're gonna be fine.
375
00:13:58,861 --> 00:14:01,528
Just don't go in there
trying to change the world.
376
00:14:01,597 --> 00:14:03,263
Okay.
377
00:14:03,332 --> 00:14:04,308
Thank you.
378
00:14:04,348 --> 00:14:05,480
Wow.
379
00:14:05,534 --> 00:14:08,501
You're getting out the house,
you're getting a job.
380
00:14:08,570 --> 00:14:10,837
Now all you need is some lotion.
381
00:14:10,939 --> 00:14:11,905
Ow.
382
00:14:13,942 --> 00:14:15,308
I had a choice.
383
00:14:15,377 --> 00:14:16,877
I could go back in the cafeteria
384
00:14:16,979 --> 00:14:18,912
and try to change the world again,
385
00:14:19,014 --> 00:14:22,849
or I could safely eat my sandwich alone.
386
00:14:26,822 --> 00:14:27,821
Hey.
387
00:14:33,362 --> 00:14:35,662
Sorry. I didn't think
anyone was in here.
388
00:14:35,731 --> 00:14:38,031
My mom always gives me beans and rice,
389
00:14:38,133 --> 00:14:40,166
and I can't eat it out there
390
00:14:40,235 --> 00:14:42,102
because, well, you know how they are.
391
00:14:42,170 --> 00:14:43,770
I know how you feel.
392
00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:46,640
They're not exactly cool
about my cucumber sandwiches.
393
00:14:46,742 --> 00:14:47,741
Just once, I wish she would give me
394
00:14:47,843 --> 00:14:49,309
peanut butter and jelly, you know?
395
00:14:51,146 --> 00:14:53,046
I had only been weird for a few days,
396
00:14:53,115 --> 00:14:56,182
but she was a professional weirdo.
397
00:14:56,285 --> 00:14:58,451
I'm Rainbow, by the way.
398
00:14:58,553 --> 00:14:59,552
Micaela.
399
00:14:59,621 --> 00:15:01,655
So, is this where you always eat?
400
00:15:01,757 --> 00:15:02,822
Yeah.
401
00:15:02,891 --> 00:15:04,991
It takes a while,
but you get used to it.
402
00:15:05,093 --> 00:15:06,559
When you're different,
403
00:15:06,628 --> 00:15:09,829
sometimes you feel you have
to hide who you really are,
404
00:15:09,932 --> 00:15:12,032
and while this wasn't
my proudest moment,
405
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,868
at least I didn't have to hide
by myself anymore.
406
00:15:17,506 --> 00:15:20,040
Meanwhile, my mom was out there
407
00:15:20,142 --> 00:15:21,541
trying to make a difference.
408
00:15:21,643 --> 00:15:22,575
Hi, Jack.
409
00:15:22,678 --> 00:15:23,810
Just so you know,
410
00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:26,046
Harrison actually liked my argument.
411
00:15:26,148 --> 00:15:27,714
Well, it's not like it matters.
412
00:15:27,816 --> 00:15:29,249
He can't fire you.
413
00:15:29,284 --> 00:15:30,750
I mean, unless he wants Al Sharpton
414
00:15:30,819 --> 00:15:33,019
handcuffing himself
to this coffee maker.
415
00:15:34,089 --> 00:15:35,543
So, my mom had a choice.
416
00:15:35,605 --> 00:15:36,941
She could tell him how she felt...
417
00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:38,758
Hey [bleep]!
418
00:15:38,860 --> 00:15:40,560
Ooh, no, he didn't!
419
00:15:40,662 --> 00:15:42,929
Your first little comment was for free.
420
00:15:42,998 --> 00:15:44,784
But this one...
this one you gotta pay for.
421
00:15:44,863 --> 00:15:46,900
Oh, if you didn't start the static...
422
00:15:47,002 --> 00:15:48,101
...wouldn't be no static.
423
00:15:48,136 --> 00:15:50,070
But you ain't even hearing me, though!
424
00:15:50,172 --> 00:15:51,917
I'm-a have to put these paws on you!
425
00:15:51,942 --> 00:15:52,916
- What?
- Ooh.
426
00:15:52,941 --> 00:15:54,240
Kick him in the bozack!
427
00:15:55,502 --> 00:15:57,636
...or she could choose to keep her job.
428
00:15:59,848 --> 00:16:01,614
Lucky me.
429
00:16:01,717 --> 00:16:04,667
So, I was a llama shaver
from 1975 to 1977.
430
00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:05,785
That's a great tie.
It goes well with your hair.
431
00:16:05,887 --> 00:16:07,821
Aunt Dee-Dee said all you
needed to do to get a job
432
00:16:07,923 --> 00:16:09,255
was to be white.
433
00:16:09,358 --> 00:16:10,690
I love cleaning, uh...
434
00:16:10,792 --> 00:16:12,325
I was a chakra consultant...
435
00:16:12,427 --> 00:16:13,760
Did I tell you that on my r�sum�...
436
00:16:15,130 --> 00:16:17,964
I feel like this isn't going well.
437
00:16:18,467 --> 00:16:20,734
But that wasn't the case for my dad.
438
00:16:20,836 --> 00:16:24,337
You do realize your r�sum�
says you were arrested?
439
00:16:24,439 --> 00:16:27,574
Oh. Right.
440
00:16:27,676 --> 00:16:31,277
But did you see that I'm white?
441
00:16:31,346 --> 00:16:33,296
Don't judge. Dad was desperate.
442
00:16:35,690 --> 00:16:39,002
In a time when everything
only had two options,
443
00:16:39,072 --> 00:16:43,075
my parents were feeling like
they didn't have a place.
444
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:44,997
You okay?
445
00:16:45,052 --> 00:16:46,934
You were a little quiet during dinner.
446
00:16:46,974 --> 00:16:50,976
On the commune, we were all the same.
447
00:16:51,045 --> 00:16:52,878
But when we brought the kids here,
448
00:16:52,946 --> 00:16:55,180
they felt different for the first time.
449
00:16:55,215 --> 00:16:58,267
And for the first time,
I felt different from them.
450
00:16:58,292 --> 00:16:59,194
Mm.
451
00:16:59,219 --> 00:17:02,688
They're going through stuff
I haven't seen before, either.
452
00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:04,356
The kids are on the frontline
453
00:17:04,425 --> 00:17:05,857
of two different kinds of racism,
454
00:17:05,926 --> 00:17:08,126
and you're right there with them.
455
00:17:08,195 --> 00:17:10,662
It's not easy being the first,
456
00:17:10,698 --> 00:17:13,732
'cause everyone acts like
something's wrong with us.
457
00:17:13,834 --> 00:17:15,600
But that's fine
458
00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:18,470
because if we cared a-about
trying to be the same
459
00:17:18,539 --> 00:17:20,672
or if we cared what people think,
460
00:17:20,741 --> 00:17:22,641
then we would have never gotten married.
461
00:17:22,743 --> 00:17:24,409
Hmm.
462
00:17:24,478 --> 00:17:26,578
Yeah, maybe you're right.
463
00:17:26,647 --> 00:17:29,548
Baby, I am.
464
00:17:44,865 --> 00:17:46,932
- Hey.
- Hi, Dad.
465
00:17:48,168 --> 00:17:49,901
How's it going?
466
00:17:51,171 --> 00:17:52,738
I meant to tell you...
467
00:17:52,806 --> 00:17:54,139
I'm sorry about the other night.
468
00:17:54,174 --> 00:17:55,607
Oh, it's fine, sweetheart.
469
00:17:55,676 --> 00:17:57,843
I know you're growing up
and you need your space.
470
00:17:57,945 --> 00:17:59,711
Can I ask you a question?
471
00:17:59,813 --> 00:18:01,980
Of course. Anytime.
472
00:18:02,082 --> 00:18:04,549
Why is being different so hard?
473
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:09,988
Well, seventh grade is tough.
474
00:18:10,057 --> 00:18:11,490
It's even tougher when you're different.
475
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:14,226
We come from a place
476
00:18:14,328 --> 00:18:16,061
where everyone was treated the same
477
00:18:16,130 --> 00:18:17,929
no matter what they looked like.
478
00:18:17,998 --> 00:18:19,831
But that's not how it works here,
479
00:18:19,933 --> 00:18:23,335
for so many complicated reasons.
480
00:18:23,404 --> 00:18:26,671
But we have a choice not to let
that affect who we are.
481
00:18:26,774 --> 00:18:28,607
You are different.
482
00:18:28,709 --> 00:18:30,108
I am different.
483
00:18:30,210 --> 00:18:31,376
So is your mom.
484
00:18:31,478 --> 00:18:33,078
That's what makes us special.
485
00:18:33,147 --> 00:18:36,081
And I promise you
that one day you'll realize
486
00:18:36,183 --> 00:18:40,452
that being different is your superpower.
487
00:18:49,730 --> 00:18:51,830
Come on. Let's go.
488
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:58,170
Too bad there's nowhere to sit.
489
00:18:59,506 --> 00:19:01,106
Yes, there is.
490
00:19:17,042 --> 00:19:18,283
It's so loud!
491
00:19:20,894 --> 00:19:22,928
- Okay.
- Just...
492
00:19:29,703 --> 00:19:31,570
- Hi.
- Hi.
493
00:19:31,672 --> 00:19:33,071
Hi.
494
00:19:33,140 --> 00:19:35,006
Hi.
495
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:38,009
Santi.
496
00:19:38,111 --> 00:19:40,045
Hey.
497
00:19:40,113 --> 00:19:41,980
So, maybe my dad was right.
498
00:19:42,082 --> 00:19:44,983
Being different was my superpower.
499
00:19:45,085 --> 00:19:47,239
Yeah...
500
00:19:47,287 --> 00:19:49,521
And Dad finally found his purpose.
501
00:19:50,791 --> 00:19:51,890
It's your turn, Dad.
502
00:19:51,992 --> 00:19:53,992
How did you change the world today?
503
00:19:54,094 --> 00:19:56,261
I don't know if I did anything...
504
00:19:56,363 --> 00:19:57,562
What are you talking about?
505
00:19:57,664 --> 00:20:00,465
Today, you helped me change the world.
506
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:02,534
And he found it in us.
507
00:20:02,636 --> 00:20:04,102
So, today at lunch,
508
00:20:04,204 --> 00:20:06,631
I thought I was just gonna
sit in the bathroom and cry,
509
00:20:06,707 --> 00:20:08,334
- like always. But...
- Mm-hmm.
510
00:20:08,412 --> 00:20:10,742
So, it turns out that 1985
511
00:20:10,811 --> 00:20:13,645
wasn't the simple time
that people thought.
512
00:20:13,747 --> 00:20:16,748
But while things were still
mostly black and white,
513
00:20:16,817 --> 00:20:18,517
my family was starting to get used
514
00:20:18,619 --> 00:20:20,051
to painting outside the lines
515
00:20:20,153 --> 00:20:23,088
and filling in colors for ourselves.
516
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:26,211
And that's how you change the world.
517
00:20:26,286 --> 00:20:28,234
...and it was really amazing.
518
00:20:37,604 --> 00:20:38,674
Really?
519
00:20:38,721 --> 00:20:40,282
You can't do this any other time
520
00:20:40,317 --> 00:20:41,651
than when I'm watching my stories?
521
00:20:41,714 --> 00:20:44,182
Sorry, I can't hear you! I'm vacuuming!
522
00:20:44,245 --> 00:20:46,856
Fool, you about to make me miss
Erica Kane's fourth wedding!
523
00:20:46,888 --> 00:20:47,920
Well, you know,
524
00:20:47,963 --> 00:20:50,208
this would go a whole lot faster
if you helped.
525
00:20:50,278 --> 00:20:51,691
Not a chance, homeboy.
526
00:20:51,756 --> 00:20:54,262
That's man's work.
527
00:20:54,598 --> 00:20:59,598
