0
00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:34.500
Sometimes I daydream. I like to, sometimes I think about a country,

1
00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:40.340
a black country with black people on the sign and TV and radio

2
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.700
and magazines and shows and circus.

3
00:01:46.090 --> 00:01:48.500
Everybody would be black. It'll be our country.

4
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.500
But then I thought it'd be real dirty.

5
00:02:13.490 --> 00:02:14.323
Toby.

6
00:02:15.530 --> 00:02:17.580
Toby, why do you think your country would be dirty?

7
00:02:24.350 --> 00:02:25.930
The white people say We dirty.

8
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:27.890
Toby, you know better. I

9
00:02:28.210 --> 00:02:29.610
Know it is Chris coming?

10
00:02:29.720 --> 00:02:31.290
Yeah, Chris is on her way now.

11
00:04:00.420 --> 00:04:01.253
Hi Chris.

12
00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:09.260
Chris, are you adopted?

13
00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:12.460
Adopted. Toby.

14
00:04:13.670 --> 00:04:13.890
Why

15
00:04:13.890 --> 00:04:17.130
Did you ask me that? Toby, go get your things together.

16
00:04:24.170 --> 00:04:27.100
Well no, I don't understand.

17
00:04:28.890 --> 00:04:30.750
We could give the child a good home.

18
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.810
Toby doesn't have to live on welfare. We have more than enough.

19
00:04:38.510 --> 00:04:43.510
10, 20, 30, 30, 40, 41

20
00:04:52.070 --> 00:04:56.250
For two, for three, for four for one. 6 47.

21
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:01.530
What kind of man is that leaving you and that child here? He's your brother.

22
00:05:01.890 --> 00:05:05.810
I don't care if he is my brother, but I do care about the child.

23
00:05:07.230 --> 00:05:08.970
She doesn't have to suffer for the two of you.

24
00:05:44.530 --> 00:05:48.570
I know one thing that both gotta grow up and take some responsibility.

25
00:05:49.830 --> 00:05:53.210
All that education. Just going to wait. Oh Chris please.

26
00:05:53.370 --> 00:05:54.290
I don't want to hear it.

27
00:06:06.910 --> 00:06:08.930
I'm sure you've got something nice planned.

28
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.550
Where is your husband? He's outta town on business. Honey.

29
00:06:30.450 --> 00:06:34.790
All the men outta town on business. My in Africa.

30
00:06:36.540 --> 00:06:41.390
Some men can't afford to go out of town on business and Michael should be here

31
00:06:41.390 --> 00:06:45.110
taking care of the two of you. Sometimes. Mommy cries and hu me.

32
00:06:45.490 --> 00:06:48.790
Who Mrs. Michael, drink your milk. Toby.

33
00:06:53.170 --> 00:06:55.510
That's the one place I haven't been.

34
00:06:56.650 --> 00:07:01.230
But you've been to France all through Europe and many times

35
00:07:01.550 --> 00:07:03.470
I was the only negro in the group.

36
00:07:41.110 --> 00:07:41.730
Chris

37
00:07:41.730 --> 00:07:45.380
Quit baby. What's the matter?

38
00:07:45.850 --> 00:07:49.500
There's a bag in here. What? There's a bag in here. You.

39
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.500
You just made money laying around like that on the floor. Girl,

40
00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:58.700
you have such an imagination. Just like Michael.

41
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.020
Do you want this changed? Toby,

42
00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:11.220
do you just spending money home? Look here, you take it.

43
00:08:11.640 --> 00:08:15.420
We have more of than enough. Why do you need more than enough?

44
00:08:15.880 --> 00:08:19.860
Why Begar here. Toby, do you see bagels at home?

45
00:08:23.980 --> 00:08:28.510
He's us. Didn't you know that we're bigger? Toby,

46
00:08:28.510 --> 00:08:32.030
you won't have to be not too hungry.

47
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:35.830
You got that money on the floor.

48
00:08:36.930 --> 00:08:41.150
The phone where you see him to now you stop it.

49
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.830
There are no beggars around here. There's no beggars in America.

50
00:08:46.420 --> 00:08:47.430
It's against the floor.

51
00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:06.640
I'm sorry. I hollered at you baby.

52
00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:10.080
I guess I'm just tired.

53
00:09:11.060 --> 00:09:15.560
Me too. We waiting there for office all day long

54
00:09:16.420 --> 00:09:17.253
Toy.

55
00:09:17.770 --> 00:09:19.280
Would you like to come live with me?

56
00:09:32.710 --> 00:09:36.620
Right in front of us. He threw up all over the sidewalk.

57
00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:48.140
You could get your hair fixed and wear pretty dresses.

58
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:50.580
Do I have two? Chris?

59
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.340
No baby. No. You really don't want to.

60
00:09:55.010 --> 00:09:57.260
Good. I like my head way it is.

61
00:09:58.810 --> 00:10:00.900
Besides there's a bedroom in here.

62
00:10:12.060 --> 00:10:14.270
Toby, what are you studying in school?

63
00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:17.030
History. Cultural and politics.

64
00:10:17.590 --> 00:10:20.670
Politics. Aren't they starting you off young?

65
00:10:22.020 --> 00:10:24.090
Don't you hear any stories in your class?

66
00:10:25.170 --> 00:10:27.210
I remember my teacher used to read to us.

67
00:10:28.310 --> 00:10:32.370
We are lots of stories. That's how we learn. We learn from stories. All

68
00:10:32.370 --> 00:10:34.890
Right, tell me your favorite story. Okay,

69
00:10:36.680 --> 00:10:40.690
Once there was a proud mother, she was Richard proud. Cause she had many,

70
00:10:40.690 --> 00:10:44.290
many children. One day Gras came to your home.

71
00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:46.730
They stole her children away from her.

72
00:10:48.800 --> 00:10:52.610
They took her children far away all over the world.

73
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.730
They beat her children. They made her children do all their work.

74
00:11:00.760 --> 00:11:05.210
Many children died right away. Minnie died later.

75
00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:11.810
The screeners told the children that they were orphaned. If they had no mother,

76
00:11:12.830 --> 00:11:15.730
if they were bastard that they had no father.

77
00:11:17.150 --> 00:11:19.010
But the sons, the children father,

78
00:11:20.630 --> 00:11:25.610
he stay with them wherever they went. He made their skin black and smooth.

79
00:11:27.270 --> 00:11:27.520
He

80
00:11:27.520 --> 00:11:32.210
Beam down on their heads until they remember. Africa is their mother.

81
00:11:33.110 --> 00:11:34.170
We are her children.

82
00:11:36.150 --> 00:11:36.983
Me

83
00:11:37.270 --> 00:11:38.103
And you.

84
00:11:41.350 --> 00:11:43.730
All over the world is grand soul. Children

85
00:11:45.790 --> 00:11:48.930
all over the world. Spanish, the pride of mothers.

86
00:11:51.910 --> 00:11:54.560
He takes their houses and their lands too.

87
00:11:56.710 --> 00:12:00.680
Some mothers are red, some are brown,

88
00:12:02.190 --> 00:12:05.640
some are yellow. The strangers is white.

89
00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:11.080
But everywhere he goes he drops yellow and brown

90
00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:13.680
and red. Even black children.

91
00:12:15.540 --> 00:12:18.680
And they help to keep the family divided.

92
00:12:20.540 --> 00:12:25.480
And the mother cries and cries for hundreds of years until they children

93
00:12:25.630 --> 00:12:26.463
come home and

94
00:12:30.260 --> 00:12:31.160
And that's important.

95
00:12:31.160 --> 00:12:36.000
Telling mama not to cry anymore because we all remember her when we all

96
00:12:36.140 --> 00:12:40.560
go home. But first we gotta get our land, our houses,

97
00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:45.280
our money ourselves back from the strangers, our fingers,

98
00:12:46.020 --> 00:12:50.000
our hat, our arms, our leg,

99
00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:52.400
our mouth, our nose.

100
00:12:54.790 --> 00:12:56.280
What school are you going to

101
00:15:35.370 --> 00:15:39.200
Gonna stay with? A cooler. A rosie here? Yeah. Rosie.

102
00:15:40.150 --> 00:15:44.640
What are you gonna put Rosie on? I think a hair African.

103
00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:48.080
You gonna make her want too? Yeah.

104
00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:10.240
Let me see. Oh look pretty

105
00:16:12.110 --> 00:16:12.943
here.

106
00:16:16.350 --> 00:16:19.840
It's Auror. Doesn't need a hair wrap on. She's got one on already.

107
00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:24.720
I'm gonna make her dress. I'm gonna make her a dress.

108
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:27.880
A dress is not gonna melt your hair.

109
00:16:30.310 --> 00:16:33.920
Something like a dress. It's gonna be a

110
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.600
a shot. Oh, okay.

111
00:17:09.140 --> 00:17:12.680
Oh, how pretty. Now we can go. Oh, to the store.

112
00:17:14.780 --> 00:17:17.000
Bye bye. Bye

113
00:17:20.540 --> 00:17:21.400
bye everybody.

114
00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:19.230
Good morning. I spend the day with Chris. You be okay?

115
00:18:25.020 --> 00:18:29.630
Look at your hands. What are you doing? So dirty. So early in the morning.

116
00:18:31.450 --> 00:18:32.283
You don't know.

117
00:18:48.780 --> 00:18:52.720
You know I'm worried about you with Michael gone and you are pregnant.

118
00:18:53.430 --> 00:18:56.560
Does Michael know? Oh, I know.

119
00:18:56.560 --> 00:19:00.280
It's hard raising someone else's child. Oh,

120
00:19:00.520 --> 00:19:02.000
I know you love Toby,

121
00:19:02.580 --> 00:19:06.800
but I'm worried about the two of you and all the things in that girl's head

122
00:19:08.270 --> 00:19:12.840
beggars and wines throwing up on the street in welfare offices.

123
00:19:14.050 --> 00:19:17.790
My God, what kind of a world is that for a child to grow up in?

124
00:19:17.930 --> 00:19:18.763
That's right.

125
00:19:18.820 --> 00:19:21.990
What kind of world is that for children to grow up in millions of children.

126
00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:26.350
I can't take care of millions of children, but I can take care of Toby.

127
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:29.780
You know Lonnie, you don't have to live the way you do.

128
00:19:30.860 --> 00:19:35.640
You could get a job and have a house like this and a car and travel and

129
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:39.830
forget about the ghetto. Alright Lonnie,

130
00:19:40.780 --> 00:19:42.270
I've tried to be nice to you.

131
00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:45.870
Michael is my brother and you're not married.

132
00:19:46.770 --> 00:19:50.210
And legally I could take the child. Lonnie.

133
00:19:50.770 --> 00:19:55.710
I am going to take her. And that's who. That's who she's going to.

134
00:19:56.620 --> 00:19:59.950
I worry about that. The stories that they're telling her.

135
00:20:00.670 --> 00:20:05.510
I think they're brainwashing her and I'm afraid I really am.

136
00:20:10.020 --> 00:20:13.000
Ronnie, just, what are you getting into?

137
00:20:13.670 --> 00:20:15.920
What are you getting that baby into? Nothing.

138
00:20:16.270 --> 00:20:20.680
Nothing. Me and you will see my baby might see it and maybe Toby see it.

139
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.860
I wanna see it. I wanna see it. I should have just went with Michael.

140
00:20:26.180 --> 00:20:29.980
I should have left Toby with you and gone with Michael. No,

141
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.300
we all should have went. There's no reason why we all couldn't have gone

142
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.340
Toy and all that unrest in Africa.

143
00:21:30.770 --> 00:21:31.603
Toby,

144
00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:47.190
Toby,

145
00:21:47.190 --> 00:21:51.510
What are you doing? It says Africa. I brought its from my daddy.

146
00:21:52.130 --> 00:21:55.870
You sneaking my mail. You lie. You lied to Chris about money. Toby,

147
00:21:55.870 --> 00:22:00.750
we don't raise you like this. No, no. This do to Africa.

148
00:22:00.750 --> 00:22:05.510
Here my, Hey, I can't take you.

149
00:22:05.590 --> 00:22:10.310
You I don't care anymore. No, I won't stay with Chris. You promise?

150
00:22:10.850 --> 00:22:12.950
You promised my daddy. I,

151
00:26:17.950 --> 00:26:19.700
Chris, are you adapted?

152
00:27:00.730 --> 00:27:03.990
Who told you this story? Toby brought Africa.

153
00:27:05.250 --> 00:27:08.150
My daddy. My daddy is fighting in Africa. Africa.

154
00:27:08.940 --> 00:27:11.630
What? Your daddy died in Africa.

155
00:27:42.010 --> 00:27:42.843
I'm the baby.

156
00:27:46.260 --> 00:27:50.470
I've got more than enough. No, Chris,

157
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.140
You rejected.

158
00:27:57.410 --> 00:27:58.940
Keep saying that.

159
00:27:59.990 --> 00:28:04.290
You are like this. We'll never get on with you.
