One thousand persons rioted...
in the Watts district last night.
The riot was touched off when three drunk-driving suspects...
We're right in the center...
Burn, baby, burn!
Burn, baby, burn.
said his troops sent into the riot area...
My father sold dope...
and my mother was a heroin addict.
Moms and pops were popular...
in the neighborhood.
They'd always have parties...
or who was on their way to jail.
or a cabdriver or a plumber...
but his main job was selling drugs.
before he could even sell 'em.
Then he'd have to beat her up.
Growing up with parents like that...
I heard a lot, and I saw a lot.
lnstead of keeping me out of trouble...
they turned me on to it.
That fucker's got some love up there.
There were some tears of joy.
If you're gonna give me some head...
What's up, Pernell, Clyde?
Stop calling me that.
Shut up, little ol' nigger.
This party here for grown folks.
Y'all ain't grown.
We older than your little ass.

Nope. I snuck out.
You a bad fucker. Come here.
You gonna get us in trouble.
What you doing?
Give the little nigger a drink.

Took you long enough, my brother.

Anyway.

Hey, Kaydee.

So what's up, young buck?

I'm all right.

How's work?

White man always on your back.

But what else is new?

Have a seat.

What's up, man?

What y'all talking about?

Not much. Just chattin'.

We talkin' about this Kansas trip.

Kansas?

So what about Kansas?

So what are you gonna do, Kaydee?

What's that, sir?

I don't know about no Kansas.

I hear you there.

before he found the Nation.

they say regarding black people.

then I'm all for it.

You got to think about your life.

Bein' a black man in America...

isn't easy.

The hunt is on.

And you're the prey.

All I'm sayin' is...

All I'm sayin' is...

survive.

All right?

and my dad never said anything.

Baby in the black shorts?

I fucked her.

I did, fool.

I hope you wore a hat...

'cause I know a couple of brothers...

that done eased up in that.

Don't play me like that.

You know I'm packin' the plastic.

Whoever that is.

Who is Willy Lump-Lump?

A little inside thing. lt ain't nothin'.

Growin' up in the hood...

especially with a car like mine.

A . and Daytons?

I knew we was in for it.

Spread your legs.

This motherfuckin' hood is hot!

I thought you boys liked barbecue.

Go get somebody's cat out of a tree.

Shut up!

Get down there!

Sit down and shut up.

That's enough. Come on.

Read me my rights!

Just because I'm a black man.

That's why.

I'd beat your motherfuckin' ass!

That's why...

Shut the fuck up!

If I was white...

Get the fuck in the car.

Fuck, man! This thing hurts!

What the fuck you doing with us?

Quit fuckin' moving!

Fuck this, man!

Stop fucking moving!

Shut the fuck up!

I told you to quit fucking moving!

Hey, get me the wire cutters, esse.

Fuck you, homes.

I ain't doin' this shit.

Are you gonna go with me or what?

What's your fucking problem?

That's cool, homes.

But don't forget, all right, homes?

Check it out, homes.

What's up?

What is, homes?

See? Over there.

Let's move on 'em, esse.

Don't sweat, OK?

That night, the cops let us have it.

where the esse stay.

I guess they was thinking...

we'd get our ass kicked even more.

The esses was cool, though.

They took us to the hospital.

They took us to the hospital.

You know you can read this yourself.

I know, but I like it when you read it.

Did they do somethin' bad?

No, I don't think they did.

I think it was a big mistake.

Just a big mistake.

You know, with Caine...

That's not true, not true at all. Some...

Mom, is Caine gonna die?

Caine's not gonna die.

Caine's gonna be just fine.

So don't worry about it.

He'll be fine.

You look so mean.

Why don't you smile for a change?

I ain't got shit to smile about.

You're alive, ain't you?

Yeah, and who says that's good?

Well, guess what.

I got a job.

For real?

Yup. Sure did.

My aunt hooked it up for me.

Makin' decent money, too.

It's about a year.

What the fuck you gonna be doin'?

I'm gonna be doin' office stuff, thank you very much.

You know, filing, typing...

That's cool.

Gettin' the coffee...

Stuff like...like that.

The job is in Atlanta.

Did you hear me?

I said the job is in Atlanta.

Take it.

You might as well get the hell away from here.

To be honest...

You know what I was hopin'?

Come with you?

I don't know.

I don't see it as such a bad idea.

Why are you so worried about me?

Why shouldn't I be?

Think about leaving, Caine.

I got to thinkin'...

about all the things I done on the streets...

and all the things...

I didn't want him to grow up...

lt was all so crazy.

Empecé a ver las cosas de una manera diferente.

lt was the end of the summer.

Ronnie had a going-away party.

and Stacy and Sharif...

were gettin' ready to leave for Kansas.

Why are you drinkin' up all the beer?

Go ahead on with that.

Who, like Caine?

'Cause whenever that motherfucker come...

"Caine..." that's the key word, nigger.

You ain't Caine.

Stop drinkin' up all the beer.

You're all on his nut sack.

Why don't you wash your feet?

Kiss my ass, motherfucker.

You got one, motherfucker.

Like I was sayin'...

when we got to go to them for jobs?

Kevin, I was talkin' to the young lady.

We're not equal until...

Who is it?

Know what I'm sayin'?

I'm sellin' encyclopedias, motherfucker.

Oh, y'all brought jokes.

Please...

It's the Wax in the house

And the 'hood rat's in the house

'Hood rats?

Don't start that 'hood rat shit.

You can break something on me...

Yo, baby.

Goddamn, what you talkin' about?

You know what the fuck I'm talkin' about.

Go take that shit outside.

And take it now, please.

Want to go outside?

Hey, little man, what you doin'?

Just playin' games.

I'm thirsty.

Can I have some beer?

Beer? No.

You may have some juice.

This is for the homeys who ain't here.

My motherfuckin' cousin Harold.

Hey, Reef, why don't you go ahead...

and get a little hit of this?

It's all right, Kevin.

You're a little punk.

Yo, what's up?

'fore your mama try to kill us all.

What you doin' out here?

Just kickin' it.

Let me have a drink.

No, man.

What's wrong with you, Kevin?

Don't be giving this kid no liquor.

You ain't his daddy.

You're not either, Kevin.

You know better.

Come on. Let's make it. Get in the house.

It's about to rain out here.

Pussy-whip.

Take your juice and go to your room.

Go on, boy.

What up, babe?

I'm fine.

Come here.

Chill.

Chauncy, chill out, nigger.

I'm just jokin'.

You know you're my nigger, Caine.

Caine, me and you, baby.

Cock-blockin' motherfucker...

Why haven't I heard from you?

I been busy.

About leavin' with you?

I thought about it.

Why are you trippin'?

You ain't doin' jack shit here.

Ain't nothin' gonna change in Atlanta.

I'm still gonna be black.

Just another nigger from the ghetto.

'Cause it's true.

You act like Atlanta ain't in America.

They don't give a fuck.

You know what?

He asked me if you were gonna die.

If you were gonna die, Caine.

Are you gonna come with us or not?

Yeah, I'm gonna go.

That's not cool, all right?

Let me guess, man.

You was up in there knockin' it out.

Get out of my business, Stace.

Why you sweatin' me?

Chauncy, please, would you stop it?

Come here. I want to talk to you.

About what?

Let me get this dance.

Come on, Ronnie.

Can you just sit down?

Just a fuckin' kiss, goddamn it.

Will you stop it?

Dog, you strapped?

You know it.

Give me your gun.

What for?

Give me the motherfuckin' gun.

What you gonna do, Caine?

What you need a gun for?

Man, come on...

Caine, stop it.

It's not that serious!

Will you stop it?

You're going to kill him!

Get him off of him!

You're the only one I was with.

Stop lyin', all right?

That don't mean nothin', Caine.

That mean it's not mine.

Peace.

I'm telling you, this is a good-ass fight.

Yeah, nigger?

I bet you Caine won't be laughin'...

You can bet that shit, nigger.

Fuck Caine, nigger!

Motherfuckin' Caine.

Don't talk to me about no Caine...

Man, fuck you.

Look like you the other night.

I don't give a fuck what you tell me about it.

I don't give a fuck what you tell me about it.

How you doin'?

I'm fine. And you?

Livin'.

The baby?

He's fine.

Let me talk to Caine.

I love you.

It's been a long time, Caine.

How you doin', man?

I didn't want to see you caged in...

like some fuckin' animal.

Nah, man.

When I was growin' up...

Away from my girl, away from my baby...

I just want her to be happy.

Take care of my son.

Hey, nigger, give up the car right now.

Look at your ass, scared straight.

"and the contention shall go out.

"Yea, strife and reproach shall cease."

So, what you trying to say, Grandpa?

Can I just stay until then?

Grandma, I'm not...

He didn't care, though.

O-Dog was gonna kill him...

Straight up. I ain't bullshittin'.

What's this for?

So you can take it to the car.

I ain't the one leavin'.
