"Nigger" is a derogatory term
used to insult our ancestors.

:48:07
See, if a white man used it,
you'd be ready to fight.

:48:11
Your using it teaches him to use it.
:48:14
You're saying it's cool.
Well, it's not cool.

:48:17
And when you're around me,
I don't wanna hear that shit.

:48:19
- We clear?
- Yes, sir.

:48:22
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

:48:23
Yes, sir.
:48:26
Mr. Worm,
:48:28
what is it you want
out of this basketball season?

:48:31
To win that state championship, sir.
:48:36
Well, who won the state basketball
championship last season, Lyle?

:48:39
Hell if I know, sir.
:48:42
Does anybody know?
:48:46
Okay.
:48:48
What's your father do for a living,
Mr. Lyle?

:48:55
My father's in jail, sir.
:49:00
Well, I'm sorry to hear that, sir.
:49:03
But that doesn't have to be your life.
:49:06
My point's this:
:49:08
I have four seniors on this team,
:49:10
Junior, Lyle, Kenyon and Worm.
:49:13
All of whom I think can play
basketball at the college level.

:49:17
College.
:49:19
That's a viable option for all of you.
:49:23
But you have to perform in the
classroom to have that chance.

:49:27
You have to have a vision.
:49:30
Tell me, how do you
see yourselves?

:49:36
ESPN, baby.
:49:39
That reminds me, Mr. Battle.
:49:41
Mr. Gesek tells me he doesn't
see you in his classroom very often.

:49:46
Yeah, we cool, though, me and him.
:49:49
Mr. Gesek is a big basketball fan.
:49:52
Well, as of now, you're suspended.
:49:54
Oh, you can practice,
but you can't play

:49:56
until Mr. Gesek tells me
you're caught up in his class.
