Okay, okay, sir, if we're going to pay homage to black history, don't you think that all of that is a part of black history?
I like the positive, man. I like the positive. You're paying me today to work for you. This ain't no slave free labor. Do you understand that?
We have to have every single area of black history, don't you think?
We have to have the beginning, the middle, and the ending.
Okay, well, if you want to highlight something, let me be Frederick Douglass.
Let me flick my hair back.
But see, the problem you got with him was his father wasn't a white man.
See, y'all like looking at our women, but y'all don't like uplifting the black man.
So how about I do that?
Let me be Frederick Douglass, and let's highlight that part.
How about you, Chad?
You like black women?

Obama, but you don't like this, do you? Yeah, you're running around here wanting to get somebody
