:45:02
That translates easy enough into
the biker gangs of the '50s and '60s.
:45:07
- My times.
- The Beaver days.
:45:10
Yeah, I belonged to
a group called the Dragons.
:45:14
What were the black bikers?
:45:15
What were the brothers?
:45:18
They were called the Chaplains.
:45:21
- The Chaplains were black?
- What, they wore penny loafers?
:45:25
They were the biggest, baddest
black group of the '50s.
:45:28
Where I grew up, it was
the Dragons and the Enchanters.
:45:30
The Enchanters were the girls.
:45:38
How old were you?
:45:40
I was 12 years old
when I became a Junior Dragon.
:45:45
So Mr. Smith was a bad ass, huh?
:45:48
So, Mr. Smith, what were some
of the other black gangs?
:45:51
Gangs died out a little bit
in the late '60s...
:45:53
but it came back in the '70s.
:45:56
There was a gang
called the Black Spades.
:46:00
So these Black Spades
were like homeboys?
:46:03
All homeboys, 5,000 strong
all over the city of Miami.
:46:06
Dang! Fucked up.
:46:11
If there were 5,000, why are we
sitting in this classroom?
:46:16
Okay. What's the future
of staying in a gang?
:46:19
Bitches.
:46:21
Money, whores and clothes.
:46:25
Yeah, yeah.
:46:28
Maybe a one-way ticket to the joint?
:46:29
Got ya. I wanna get high.
:46:33
- Straight up, smoking.
- I didn't mean that, Rodriguez.
:46:36
I'm talking about the joint.
:46:38
You know, Raeford Prison upstate?
:46:42
That can't happen, Mr. Smith.
We're all juveniles.
:46:46
Until you're 18, then they
throw your ass in a cell...
:46:48
and you become a punk
or somebody's sweet boy.
:46:50
- You're gonna get fucked in jail.
- They've got to catch me fin'st.
:46:54
What are we supposed to do,
work in some fast food joint...
:46:57
making minimum wage or something?
:46:59
Better than a gang funeral.
