PUBLIC ENEMY RAPPING:
Kill 'em live
:48:03
Kill 'em live
:48:05
Kill 'em live
:48:07
It is worse than arrogance.
It is contempt.
:48:09
Contempt for the press
and for the people.
:48:14
Have you heard a rumor that
Gephardt's looking for someone?
:48:18
[ Rings doorbell ]
:48:26
JAY: I'm staying out of sight
until he gets back.
:48:29
We can wait in the car.
:48:30
MURPHY: Hi, Mimi.
We lost our ride to the debate.
:48:34
Can we catch a ride
with you guys?
:48:37
- He split with the limo?
- Yeah.
:48:40
JAY:
So who walks in? Huey Newton.
:48:43
You know who Huey Newton was?
:48:48
A lot of people I talk to--
black, your age--don't know.
:48:56
Huey.
:49:01
Why do you think
there are no more black leaders?
:49:07
NINA: Some think it's because
they all got killed...
:49:10
but I think
it's from the decimation...
:49:13
of urban manufacturing bases.
:49:15
Senator, an optimistic,
energized population...
:49:18
throws up optimistic,
energized leaders.
:49:20
When you shift manufacturing
to the Third World...
:49:23
you destroy
the blue-collar core...
:49:25
of the black activist
population.
:49:27
Some people would say
the problem is cultural.
:49:31
But the media is controlled
by fewer and fewer people.
:49:34
Add to that a consumer culture
based on self-gratification...
:49:38
and it means nobody
wants leaders...
:49:40
calling for self-sacrifice.
:49:42
Fact is, I'm a materialist.
:49:45
If I look at the economy...
:49:46
high employment means
jobs for African-Americans.
:49:49
World War II meant
lots of jobs for black folks.
:49:51
That's what energized people
for the civil rights movement.
:49:56
An energized,
hopeful community...
:49:58
not only produces leaders,
but leaders they'll respond to.
