:32:01
But not anymore.
:32:02
That's all over now.
:32:04
No family at all?
:32:05
Not anymore.
Jeremiah's strictly on his own.

:32:09
How do you feel?
:32:11
Pardon?
:32:12
You're on a bus...
:32:14
...with 20 black men.
How do you feel?

:32:17
Black, white, all the same to me.
:32:19
I like to think of myself
as colorblind.

:32:22
Colorblind?
:32:24
So you didn't notice at all that
everyone on this bus is black but you?

:32:29
So-called black men,
descendants of slaves.

:32:34
Well, we're all
brothers under the skin, right?

:32:37
Now we're brothers just because
you're on the black bus?

:32:40
Look, I never wore a white sheet
over my head. I'm Jewish.

:32:43
God forbid we think a Jew
could be a bigot.

:32:46
My parents were for civil rights.
Blacks came to our house...

:32:49
Are you getting this? They actually
had blacks at their house.

:32:53
I didn't mean it like that.
:32:54
Oh, spare us.
:32:56
Only two things came out of
the civil rights movement.

:32:59
One: Black people got a few crumbs.
:33:02
And two: Condescending whites
could say they struggled with us.

:33:05
But it didn't end with
the March on Washington.

:33:08
We're still catching hell.
:33:09
My people know about catching hell.
:33:12
My parents did their part.
:33:13
Their part to make a difference,
or to appear liberal?

:33:17
Jews made a difference
in the movement.

:33:19
As soon as they got what they wanted,
they abandoned it.

:33:23
I don't see black people
marching for Jews...

:33:26
...Hispanics or Asians.
:33:28
Why do you expect whites
to solve all your problems?

:33:31
We didn't create our problems.
White people did.

:33:35
You think we asked for slavery?
:33:36
We asked for the Holocaust?
Six million Jews died.

:33:40
Doesn't mean we're gonna forget
Nazis, Arabs...

:33:43
...black anti-Semites...
:33:44
Do you know how many blacks died
in the slave trade? Over 60 million.

:33:49
I didn't kill them, nor did
my parents. Don't blame us.

:33:52
Yeah, it's our fault.
:33:54
After 400 years of slavery
and oppression...

:33:57
...we're just supposed
to fix everything ourselves?
