1:14:01
That's fine.
1:14:02
But when they trample
my inherent right...
1:14:07
as an artist, I catch afire.
1:14:10
Why is every hit
Negro show criticized?
1:14:14
Like crabs in a barrel,
they pull each other down.
1:14:17
No one, in any way, shape,
or form, should be censored.
1:14:22
Do you believe
that that's true...
1:14:24
regardless of whether
the material is racist...
1:14:27
or sexist,
or even homophobic?
1:14:29
I say yes.
1:14:31
Because who is to judge?
1:14:33
Who is to stand and say
this is right or this is not?
1:14:37
I mean, I'm not Mayor Guiliani.
1:14:40
I cannot look at that painting
and say that is sacrilegious.
1:14:43
It's art, and that is
what it should be called.
1:14:46
So is "Mantan."
1:14:48
There are many people
who at this point...
1:14:50
are sick and tired
of the TV industry.
1:14:52
And there are many
in the community...
1:14:54
who say what they're doing
has got to stop now.
1:14:57
What do you say
about the fact...
1:14:59
that the line
has to be drawn here?
1:15:00
Those people need to wake up.
1:15:01
Wake up to what?
1:15:02
Slavery has been over
400 years ago!
1:15:05
We need to stop
thinking that way.
1:15:08
Stop crying over,
"the white man this or that."
1:15:10
This is the new millennium...
1:15:12
and we must join it.
1:15:15
Slavery did not end
400 years ago.
1:15:17
Slavery ended in 1865.
Do the math.
1:15:20
Your great-grandmother...
1:15:22
who raised your mother's mother,
was a slave...
1:15:25
and here you are,
in this studio...
1:15:27
trying to excuse
our own holocaust?
1:15:29
You're talking numbers, Gary.
1:15:31
200 years, 300 years,
it doesn't matter.
1:15:34
What matters, Gary,
is slave mentality...
1:15:37
and that is what must be broken.
1:15:39
I had an aunt.
We called her "Sister."
1:15:42
Aunt Sister went to her grave...
1:15:44
believing that man
had not walked on the moon.
1:15:48
I would argue
with this dear old woman.
1:15:51
I'd say,
"It's on television..."
1:15:53
and she'd say, "l don't care
what's on that idiot box.
1:15:57
"No man is on the moon."
1:15:59
Gary, there are millions
of Negroes in this country...
