:10:01
I wonder if he'll run
as a Democrat or an Independent.
:10:04
Never know. Might be a Republican.
- Oh, please.
:10:07
What kind of self-respecting black
man would run as a Republican?
:10:10
Name one thing the Republican party
has done for black people. One!
:10:14
Well, they were
the party of Lincoln.
:10:16
They stood against
the tyranny of oppression...
:10:18
by leading the call
for the Civil War,...
:10:20
and forced passage
of the Emancipation Proclamation,...
:10:22
which freed the slaves.
:10:25
All right,
name two things lately.
:10:27
Damn it, it doesn't matter
what party!
:10:29
This could be the first step
on the road to putting...
:10:31
an African-American
in the White House.
:10:33
It's a great day
for black people of all races.
:10:39
Good morning.
- Think about it!
:10:42
I've thought long and hard about how
I can best serve my country...
:10:45
now that I'm no longer in uniform.
:10:47
Well, today...
:10:49
I am proud to announce...
:10:51
that I will be...
:10:53
opening a chain
of fried chicken restaurants.
:10:59
General Boutwell!
:11:03
Yes, sir.
:11:04
So, you're passing up a chance
to be President...
:11:07
to open a chicken joint?
:11:08
A man like me doesn't have
any business in politics.
:11:11
They say you should
always do what you know.
:11:14
And what I know
is good fried chicken.
:11:16
Yes, ma'am.
:11:18
Don't you think your supporters
in the African-American community...
:11:21
will be particularly disappointed?
:11:23
Not after they taste
the General's fried chicken.
:11:27
Surrender, Colonel,
here comes the General.
:11:29
Will there be side dishes?
- Sweet potatoes...
:11:31
Black-eyed peas, Mashed potatoes, macaroni...
:11:36
cornbread and the General's
special... hot sauce!
:11:41
That's all for today.
:11:44
Thank you very much.
Nice to see you all.
:11:46
General, what about desert?
:11:52
You know, he does have a point
about that Colonel.
:11:54
I never trusted the Colonel!
:11:56
Slaves cooked that chicken!
Ain't no white man know...
:11:58
about no 16 herbs
and spices and giblets!
