Racist in Correctional
Derek Vinyard: One in every three black males is in some phase of the correctional system. Is that a coincidence or do these people have, you know, like a racial commitment to crime?
Blaming Everybody
Bob Sweeney: There was a moment, when I used to blame everything and everyone for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed white people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions.
Derek Vinyard: Like what?
Bob Sweeney: Has anything you've done made your life better?
Open Our Eyes
Derek Vinyard: Alright listen up, we need to open our eyes. There's over two million illegal immigrants bending down in this state tonight. This state spend three billion dollars last year on services, on people who had no right to be here in the first place. Three billion dollars. 400 million just to lock up a bunch of illegal immigrant criminals who only got in this country because the f**king INS decided it's not worth the effort to screen for convicted felons.
Something About Derek
Danny Vinyard: Look Sweeney, did you bring me here to talk about Derek? Because what happened to him has nothing to do with me.
Bob Sweeney: Everything you do right now has something to do with Derek.
Oh! I Hate Them
Danny Vinyard: He's one of those proud to be n****r people, I hate those guys.
Cameron: Now wait a minute Danny, he's not proud. No, he's a manipuative, self-righteous Uncle Tom who's trying to make you feel guilty about writing about Adolf Hitler. Yeah, when some n****r or some sp*ck writes about Martin Luther King or f**king Caesar commie Chavez, he gets a pat on the head. You can see the hypocrisy in that, can't you?
I Am Sorry
Danny Vinyard: I'm sorry, Derek. I'm sorry that happened to you.
Derek Vinyard: I'm not. I'm lucky. I feel lucky because it's wrong, Danny. It's wrong and it was eating me up, it was going to kill me. And I kept asking myself all the time, how did I buy into this s**t? It was because I was pissed off, and nothing I ever did ever took that feeling away. I killed two guys, Danny, I killed them. And it didn't make me feel any different. It just got me more lost and I'm tired of being pissed off, Danny. I'm just tired of it.
Like Some Pinata
Derek Vinyard: Every night, thousands of these parasites stream across the border like some f**kin' piñata exploded.
Derek Vinyard: Don't laugh! There's nothin' funny goin' on here!
The Dangerous Man Here
Lamont: I'm the most dangerous man in this prison. You know why? 'Cause I control the underwear.
A Notion of Obligation
Derek Vinyard: We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?
You're Not Alone
Doris Vinyard: You think you're the only one doin' time, Derek? You think you're here all alone? You think I'm not in here with you?
