00:00:06,021 --> 00:00:09,021
NARRATOR: Towards the end

2
00:00:06,021 --> 00:00:09,021
of the 2008 campaign,

3
00:00:09,021 --> 00:00:12,021
the Republican party, terrified at their own

4
00:00:12,021 --> 00:00:16,021
sinking poll numbers, attempted to link Barack Obama

5
00:00:16,021 --> 00:00:20,021
to radical leftist figures to make him appear un-American.

6
00:00:20,021 --> 00:00:24,021
First was the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

7
00:00:24,021 --> 00:00:28,021
I say motherfuck America,
motherfuck America's mother,

8
00:00:28,021 --> 00:00:30,021
motherfuck America's daddy!

9
00:00:30,021 --> 00:00:31,021
America can eat a dick!

10
00:00:31,021 --> 00:00:33,021
America can lick the balls!

11
00:00:33,021 --> 00:00:36,021
When that failed, Republicans tried linking Obama

12
00:00:36,021 --> 00:00:40,021
with 10-year-old domestic terrorist Huey Freeman

13
00:00:40,021 --> 00:00:43,021
after discovering the two were MySpace friends.

14
00:00:43,021 --> 00:00:45,021
Did they leave each other
glitter comments?

15
00:00:45,021 --> 00:00:47,021
The public has
a right to know.

16
00:00:47,021 --> 00:00:50,021
Okay, this is a little boy
who thinks that Jesus is black,

17
00:00:50,021 --> 00:00:51,021
Ronald Reagan is the devil

18
00:00:52,021 --> 00:00:53,021
and the government
is lying about 9/11.

19
00:00:53,021 --> 00:00:56,021
Kids like this need to be
on America's shit list,

20
00:00:56,021 --> 00:00:57,021
not our friend list.

21
00:00:57,021 --> 00:01:01,021
Obama did his best to downplay the relationship.

22
00:01:01,021 --> 00:01:03,021
Look, I have many,
many friends on MySpace.

23
00:01:03,021 --> 00:01:05,021
I-- I pretty much
add anybody.

24
00:01:05,021 --> 00:01:07,021
I don't know
who this Huey Freeman is,

25
00:01:07,021 --> 00:01:10,021
but he doesn't stand
for what I stand for

26
00:01:10,021 --> 00:01:15,021
and I denounce, I repudiate,
and condemn him.

27
00:01:15,021 --> 00:01:19,021
Basically fuck him.

28
00:01:53,021 --> 00:01:57,021
NARRATOR: I tracked down the notoriously

29
00:01:53,021 --> 00:01:57,021
reclusive Huey Freeman here,

30
00:01:57,021 --> 00:02:00,021
where he lives with his Grandfather and brother.

31
00:02:02,021 --> 00:02:03,021
The first thing I notice about Huey

32
00:02:04,021 --> 00:02:05,021
is his incredibly large hair.

33
00:02:05,021 --> 00:02:09,021
The second thing I notice is his permanent scowl.

34
00:02:09,021 --> 00:02:13,021
How does it feel to be labeled
a domestic terrorist?

35
00:02:14,021 --> 00:02:17,021
Eh, I'm retired.

36
00:02:17,021 --> 00:02:21,021
So then, now that it looks
like Obama is going to win,

37
00:02:21,021 --> 00:02:23,021
as a black
African American negro,

38
00:02:23,021 --> 00:02:27,021
are you merely excited
or are you extremely excited

39
00:02:27,021 --> 00:02:31,021
that everything is going
to change forever?

40
00:02:31,021 --> 00:02:33,021
Eh.

41
00:02:33,021 --> 00:02:35,021
I felt my sphincter clinch

42
00:02:35,021 --> 00:02:38,021
and my scrotum contract in shock

43
00:02:38,021 --> 00:02:39,021
at his response.

44
00:02:39,021 --> 00:02:41,021
I swear that boy
just likes to be miserable.

45
00:02:41,021 --> 00:02:43,021
He can't enjoy nothing.

46
00:02:43,021 --> 00:02:45,021
All he wanna talk about
is the Bilderberg Group,

47
00:02:45,021 --> 00:02:46,021
the Federal Reserve
and all that bullshit.

48
00:02:46,021 --> 00:02:48,021
I don't know where
he get that from.

49
00:02:48,021 --> 00:02:50,021
He didn't get it from me.
I believe in hope and change.

50
00:02:50,021 --> 00:02:54,021
NARRATOR: Nobody knows exactly how old

51
00:02:50,021 --> 00:02:54,021
Robert Freeman is.

52
00:02:54,021 --> 00:02:56,021
Not even Robert Freeman himself.

53
00:02:56,021 --> 00:02:58,021
But his age is estimated

54
00:02:58,021 --> 00:03:02,021
somewhere between 80 and 120 years old.

55
00:03:02,021 --> 00:03:03,021
This is what me
and my generation,

56
00:03:03,021 --> 00:03:07,021
but mostly me, struggled for.
Sacrificed for, you can say,

57
00:03:07,021 --> 00:03:09,021
personally individually
paved the way for.

58
00:03:09,021 --> 00:03:11,021
The dogs were after us,
so I took off my belt

59
00:03:11,021 --> 00:03:13,021
and started whipping
on the dogs.

60
00:03:13,021 --> 00:03:15,021
Then I started running.
Then I looked behind me.

61
00:03:15,021 --> 00:03:16,021
Jesse Jackson was supposed
to be there,

62
00:03:16,021 --> 00:03:18,021
but he had jumped
into a Dumpster. Hiding.

63
00:03:18,021 --> 00:03:20,021
That punk-ass.
NARRATOR:  I find it difficult

64
00:03:20,021 --> 00:03:23,021
to determine whether Robert is a pathological liar

65
00:03:23,021 --> 00:03:27,021
or suffering the early stages of dementia.

66
00:03:27,021 --> 00:03:31,021
So if the election is fake,
then what's really going on?

67
00:03:31,021 --> 00:03:33,021
The end of America.

68
00:03:33,021 --> 00:03:35,021
I felt despair so terrible

69
00:03:35,021 --> 00:03:37,021
I briefly consider slitting my own wrists,

70
00:03:37,021 --> 00:03:39,021
or bludgeoning myself about the head

71
00:03:39,021 --> 00:03:42,021
with a steel pipe or baseball bat.

72
00:03:42,021 --> 00:03:46,021
But I brought no blade, no pipe, no bat.

73
00:03:46,021 --> 00:03:48,021
Describe Riley Freeman
in one word.

74
00:03:48,021 --> 00:03:51,021
Mm, I'd say real nigga.

75
00:03:51,021 --> 00:03:53,021
"Real nigga"
is two words.

76
00:03:53,021 --> 00:03:54,021
I know it's two words, nigga.

77
00:03:54,021 --> 00:03:56,021
Real niggas
don't follow instructions.

78
00:03:56,021 --> 00:03:58,021
NARRATOR: This is Robert Freeman's

79
00:03:56,021 --> 00:03:58,021
other grandson, Riley.

80
00:03:59,021 --> 00:04:02,021
He's empowered by the prospect of a black president,

81
00:04:02,021 --> 00:04:05,021
but not in the way society would hope or expect.

82
00:04:05,021 --> 00:04:08,021
Oh, if my nigga Obama
gets up in there,

83
00:04:08,021 --> 00:04:10,021
I'm gonna act a fool!

84
00:04:10,021 --> 00:04:11,021
I ain't doing
no more homework, nothing.

85
00:04:11,021 --> 00:04:13,021
We taking over.

86
00:04:13,021 --> 00:04:14,021
Come on, what's a cop
gonna do to me?

87
00:04:14,021 --> 00:04:17,021
I'm gonna be like, "Don't make
me call the president, bitch."

88
00:04:17,021 --> 00:04:21,021
And the cops, he gonna be like,
"Oh, snap, Riley a real nigga,

89
00:04:21,021 --> 00:04:24,021
the president's a real nigga,
we can't do nothing."

90
00:04:25,021 --> 00:04:27,021
I can't wait.

91
00:04:27,021 --> 00:04:29,021
In my driveway

92
00:04:29,021 --> 00:04:30,021
I got planes

93
00:04:30,021 --> 00:04:32,021
NARRATOR: This is Otis Jenkins.

94
00:04:32,021 --> 00:04:35,021
But in the United States, he's better known

95
00:04:35,021 --> 00:04:37,021
by his rap moniker Thugnificent.

96
00:04:37,021 --> 00:04:40,021
A combination of the words "thug" and "magnificent."

97
00:04:41,021 --> 00:04:42,021
Otis has found success

98
00:04:42,021 --> 00:04:45,021
like many Negro-American entertainers today

99
00:04:45,021 --> 00:04:47,021
by being a professional buffoon.

100
00:04:47,021 --> 00:04:50,021
Are you supporting
Barack Obama?

101
00:04:50,021 --> 00:04:52,021
For what?
 For president.

102
00:04:52,021 --> 00:04:53,021
President of what?

103
00:04:53,021 --> 00:04:54,021
You don't know
there's a black man

104
00:04:54,021 --> 00:04:57,021
running for president
named Barack Obama?

105
00:04:57,021 --> 00:04:59,021
His name is Barack?
For real?

106
00:04:59,021 --> 00:05:00,021
Barack Obama, yes.

107
00:05:00,021 --> 00:05:02,021
Get the fuck out of here.
Barack?

108
00:05:02,021 --> 00:05:04,021
Yes, Barack.
 Where's he from, Africa?

109
00:05:04,021 --> 00:05:05,021
His dad was African,
yes.

110
00:05:05,021 --> 00:05:07,021
You can't be serious, man.

111
00:05:07,021 --> 00:05:09,021
There ain't no nigga running for
president named Barack Obama!

112
00:05:11,021 --> 00:05:12,021
No fucking way, man.
No fucking way.

113
00:05:12,021 --> 00:05:14,021
I don't believe you.
Stop fucking with me.

114
00:05:14,021 --> 00:05:17,021
If he wins, I think
it will literally be

115
00:05:17,021 --> 00:05:19,021
the best day
of my life.

116
00:05:21,021 --> 00:05:22,021
NARRATOR: Tom and Sarah Dubois

117
00:05:22,021 --> 00:05:24,021
are also neighbors of the Freemans.

118
00:05:24,021 --> 00:05:26,021
They both work on the Obama campaign.

119
00:05:26,021 --> 00:05:29,021
Barack has already changed
our lives in so many ways.

120
00:05:29,021 --> 00:05:31,021
NARRATOR:
How?

121
00:05:31,021 --> 00:05:32,021
Well, I mean,
it's no secret

122
00:05:32,021 --> 00:05:34,021
that me and Tom have had
some problems in the past

123
00:05:34,021 --> 00:05:35,021
with our relationship.

124
00:05:35,021 --> 00:05:38,021
Well, it's not like
the whole world knew.

125
00:05:38,021 --> 00:05:39,021
But I think ever since

126
00:05:39,021 --> 00:05:41,021
we started working
together for Barack...

127
00:05:41,021 --> 00:05:43,021
Things are
totally different now.

128
00:05:43,021 --> 00:05:46,021
Much better. And it's all thanks
to Barack.

129
00:05:46,021 --> 00:05:48,021
He is such a wonderful,
wonderful man.

130
00:05:48,021 --> 00:05:50,021
I just think it's about time
we had a president

131
00:05:50,021 --> 00:05:53,021
who was smart and tall and
charming and strong and fit.

132
00:05:53,021 --> 00:05:55,021
Just like your hubby?

133
00:05:56,021 --> 00:05:58,021
This isn't about you,
sweetie.

134
00:05:58,021 --> 00:06:01,021
NARRATOR: It is always obvious

135
00:05:58,021 --> 00:06:01,021
when a couple hasn't engaged

136
00:06:01,021 --> 00:06:04,021
in normal marital relations for some time.

137
00:06:04,021 --> 00:06:06,021
Obama, of course, is as polarizing

138
00:06:06,021 --> 00:06:08,021
as he is transformative.

139
00:06:08,021 --> 00:06:11,021
Some have accused Obama of being a socialist.

140
00:06:11,021 --> 00:06:13,021
Others believe that he's a Muslim.

141
00:06:13,021 --> 00:06:17,021
Some have gone as far as to label him the Antichrist.

142
00:06:17,021 --> 00:06:19,021
He is the socialist Muslim
Antichrist.

143
00:06:19,021 --> 00:06:21,021
This is Uncle Ruckus.

144
00:06:21,021 --> 00:06:22,021
He's an Uncle Tom.

145
00:06:22,021 --> 00:06:25,021
Perhaps the biggest Uncle Tom to have ever lived.

146
00:06:25,021 --> 00:06:29,021
If this nigga gets elected,
America is over. Over.

147
00:06:29,021 --> 00:06:30,021
You want this nigga to shit

148
00:06:30,021 --> 00:06:32,021
in the same place
William Taft shat?

149
00:06:32,021 --> 00:06:35,021
And his big wife, she don't need
to be in the White House.

150
00:06:35,021 --> 00:06:38,021
She should be in the WNBA
shooting foul shots.

151
00:06:42,021 --> 00:06:45,021
Ah. You want my brick,
you gonna have to pry it

152
00:06:45,021 --> 00:06:49,021
from my cold dead hands,
Mr. Obama Hussein.

153
00:06:51,021 --> 00:06:52,021
Nigga down!

154
00:06:52,021 --> 00:06:55,021
NARRATOR:
What is wrong with letting

155
00:06:52,021 --> 00:06:55,021
people be happy?

156
00:06:55,021 --> 00:06:58,021
Can too much hope
possibly be a bad thing?

157
00:06:58,021 --> 00:07:02,021
Hope is irrational.

158
00:07:02,021 --> 00:07:04,021
In Bavaria, we have a saying:

159
00:07:07,021 --> 00:07:11,021
It means, "This is the most depressing fucking kid

160
00:07:12,021 --> 00:07:14,021
I've ever met in my life."

161
00:07:15,021 --> 00:07:18,021
I sit down once again with Thugnificent,

162
00:07:18,021 --> 00:07:21,021
who appears to have undergone a political awakening

163
00:07:21,021 --> 00:07:23,021
since our last conversation.

164
00:07:23,021 --> 00:07:25,021
So you know
who Obama is now?

165
00:07:25,021 --> 00:07:26,021
Oh, no, I knew
who the nigga was.

166
00:07:26,021 --> 00:07:28,021
I was just joking.
You were not joking.

167
00:07:28,021 --> 00:07:31,021
You jumped on the Obama
celebrity bandwagon

168
00:07:31,021 --> 00:07:33,021
because it will give you
much needed exposure.

169
00:07:33,021 --> 00:07:35,021
No, see. It ain't even got
nothing to do with that.

170
00:07:35,021 --> 00:07:36,021
You know what I'm saying?

171
00:07:36,021 --> 00:07:39,021
I started looking into his
political positions and his--

172
00:07:39,021 --> 00:07:40,021
And his policies
and views and whatnot.

173
00:07:40,021 --> 00:07:42,021
What policies?
 I heard the nigga speak,

174
00:07:42,021 --> 00:07:44,021
and he was talking
about changing some shit

175
00:07:44,021 --> 00:07:46,021
or hoping for some shit,
and I thought: "Yeah."

176
00:07:46,021 --> 00:07:48,021
I mean, all the nigga's
asking for is hope.

177
00:07:48,021 --> 00:07:49,021
You can sit on your ass
all day and hope.

178
00:07:49,021 --> 00:07:52,021
If you too lazy to hope
you a lazy motherfucker,

179
00:07:52,021 --> 00:07:53,021
that's all I know.

180
00:07:53,021 --> 00:07:54,021
I'm voting for Obama

181
00:07:54,021 --> 00:07:56,021
because he's gonna
lower my taxes.

182
00:07:56,021 --> 00:07:58,021
NARRATOR:
Actually, he has promised

183
00:07:58,021 --> 00:07:59,021
to raise taxes
at your income level.

184
00:07:59,021 --> 00:08:00,021
Huh?

185
00:08:00,021 --> 00:08:04,021
And he's just
really, really fit...

186
00:08:04,021 --> 00:08:06,021
to lead.
And also body fit too.

187
00:08:06,021 --> 00:08:07,021
Well, I also support Obama

188
00:08:08,021 --> 00:08:10,021
because he's against
corporate bailouts.

189
00:08:10,021 --> 00:08:11,021
That is also not true.
Huh?

190
00:08:11,021 --> 00:08:16,021
I'm supporting Obama
because he black.

191
00:08:16,021 --> 00:08:19,021
And he's gonna get the troops
out of Afghanistan, right?

192
00:08:19,021 --> 00:08:20,021
Also wrong.

193
00:08:20,021 --> 00:08:22,021
Then what the fuck
that nigga gonna do?

194
00:08:22,021 --> 00:08:24,021
We all need to, you know,
do some shit sometimes.

195
00:08:24,021 --> 00:08:26,021
You know what I'm saying?
Some shit needs to get done.

196
00:08:26,021 --> 00:08:29,021
And until we do that shit,
shit ain't gonna change.

197
00:08:29,021 --> 00:08:32,021
So I thought to myself,
"Let's do this shit."

198
00:08:32,021 --> 00:08:33,021
And that's when will.i.am
called me

199
00:08:33,021 --> 00:08:35,021
about doing this damn song.

200
00:08:35,021 --> 00:08:36,021
NARRATOR: Thugnificent joins

201
00:08:36,021 --> 00:08:40,021
will.i.am's all-star celebrity tribute to Barack Obama.

202
00:08:40,021 --> 00:08:44,021
Things weren't working right

203
00:08:44,021 --> 00:08:48,021
I said, I wanna fight

204
00:08:48,021 --> 00:08:52,021
And said, yes, we can

205
00:08:52,021 --> 00:08:54,021
I want to ride your nuts

206
00:08:54,021 --> 00:08:56,021
You're the man

207
00:09:04,021 --> 00:09:06,021
WILL.I.AM:

208
00:09:06,021 --> 00:09:08,021
THUGNIFICENT:

209
00:09:08,021 --> 00:09:13,021
Riding, riding

210
00:09:17,021 --> 00:09:20,021
Dick-riding for the gay

211
00:09:20,021 --> 00:09:24,021
Dick-riding for Iraq

212
00:09:24,021 --> 00:09:26,021
To ride that dick

213
00:09:26,021 --> 00:09:28,021
As it's Barack's

214
00:09:28,021 --> 00:09:30,021
Dick-riding

215
00:09:31,021 --> 00:09:33,021
NARRATOR: It is finally election night.

216
00:09:33,021 --> 00:09:35,021
Robert Freeman is throwing a party.

217
00:09:35,021 --> 00:09:38,021
Well, it's been
a long, black struggle.

218
00:09:38,021 --> 00:09:40,021
And I felt me and Barack
deserved a party.

219
00:09:40,021 --> 00:09:43,021
NARRATOR: All around I see black faces

220
00:09:40,021 --> 00:09:43,021
beaming with elation.

221
00:09:43,021 --> 00:09:45,021
Yeah, man, I'm gonna be
the next black president.

222
00:09:45,021 --> 00:09:49,021
NARRATOR: It is as though each of them

223
00:09:45,021 --> 00:09:49,021
has been elected president.

224
00:09:51,021 --> 00:09:53,021
Almost each of them.

225
00:09:55,021 --> 00:09:56,021
What's wrong with you?

226
00:09:56,021 --> 00:09:58,021
I thought you'd be
dancing on your tail

227
00:09:58,021 --> 00:10:00,021
with the rest of the circus
chimps. Look at them.

228
00:10:00,021 --> 00:10:02,021
Just as happy
as a pig in shit.

229
00:10:02,021 --> 00:10:03,021
Can't they see?

230
00:10:03,021 --> 00:10:05,021
Can't they see
what this nigga's gonna do

231
00:10:05,021 --> 00:10:06,021
to our great country?

232
00:10:07,021 --> 00:10:09,021
Looks like we the only
two people with sense

233
00:10:09,021 --> 00:10:10,021
in this whole room.

234
00:10:10,021 --> 00:10:12,021
Just you and me.
Just you and me.

235
00:10:12,021 --> 00:10:14,021
GRANDDAD:
Ruckus, shut up

236
00:10:12,021 --> 00:10:14,021
and get back to work.

237
00:10:14,021 --> 00:10:15,021
And grab some more champagne.

238
00:10:15,021 --> 00:10:17,021
See? Niggas already
getting uppity.

239
00:10:17,021 --> 00:10:20,021
So I'm thinking
that this gonna be my new look.

240
00:10:20,021 --> 00:10:21,021
Oh. That's a way to go.

241
00:10:21,021 --> 00:10:23,021
I mean, I feel like
it's more grown-up.

242
00:10:23,021 --> 00:10:25,021
Like, having
tighter clothes

243
00:10:25,021 --> 00:10:26,021
is gonna make people
take me more seriously.

244
00:10:26,021 --> 00:10:30,021
It's really gonna happen.
It's all gonna be better now.

245
00:10:30,021 --> 00:10:32,021
It's all gonna be better.
Right, honey?

246
00:10:32,021 --> 00:10:34,021
Tom, I'm trying
to watch this.

247
00:10:34,021 --> 00:10:36,021
Yo, yo, yo, I heard
the presidential limo

248
00:10:36,021 --> 00:10:39,021
is gonna be like a crazy
pimped out Cadillac now,

249
00:10:39,021 --> 00:10:42,021
with rims and, like,
machine guns and lasers.

250
00:10:42,021 --> 00:10:43,021
Excuse me.

251
00:10:43,021 --> 00:10:45,021
I'd like to propose
a toast.

252
00:10:45,021 --> 00:10:46,021
Now I'd just
like to say

253
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:49,021
that today is a very
special day for me.

254
00:10:49,021 --> 00:10:52,021
I hope you all are enjoying
the cheese, wine

255
00:10:53,021 --> 00:10:57,021
and freedom I have struggled
so hard to provide tonight.

256
00:10:57,021 --> 00:10:59,021
And because of my pain
and suffering,

257
00:10:59,021 --> 00:11:02,021
the black struggle
is officially over.

258
00:11:02,021 --> 00:11:03,021
No longer can they
keep us down.

259
00:11:04,021 --> 00:11:05,021
No longer can we
be silenced--

260
00:11:06,021 --> 00:11:07,021
Shh! This is it!
Shut up! Shut up!

261
00:11:07,021 --> 00:11:09,021
And now we have the returns

262
00:11:09,021 --> 00:11:11,021
from the West Coast coming in here.

263
00:11:11,021 --> 00:11:14,021
Okay. And so yes, folks, we are calling it.

264
00:11:14,021 --> 00:11:16,021
Barack Hussein Obama will be

265
00:11:16,021 --> 00:11:18,021
the next President of the United States.

266
00:11:18,021 --> 00:11:20,021
MAN: Yes!

267
00:11:20,021 --> 00:11:21,021
Obama! Obama!

268
00:11:21,021 --> 00:11:23,021
Obama!
Yeah, Obama!

269
00:11:23,021 --> 00:11:28,021
For the first time in my life,
I am proud to be an American.

270
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:29,021
Yeah!

271
00:11:31,021 --> 00:11:32,021
Why, Lord?

272
00:11:32,021 --> 00:11:34,021
ALL:
Obama! Obama!

273
00:11:34,021 --> 00:11:35,021
Obama!

274
00:11:37,021 --> 00:11:38,021
Obama.

275
00:11:55,021 --> 00:11:57,021
NARRATOR: It is days before inauguration,

276
00:11:57,021 --> 00:12:00,021
and Obama Mania is at a fever pitch.

277
00:12:00,021 --> 00:12:04,021
I return to Woodcrest to check on the Freemans.

278
00:12:04,021 --> 00:12:07,021
I don't necessarily think
of myself as a hero.

279
00:12:07,021 --> 00:12:10,021
And when people always
ask me if I want a medal

280
00:12:10,021 --> 00:12:12,021
or a monument or a statue
in my honor, I say,

281
00:12:12,021 --> 00:12:14,021
"No, mm-mm. Mm-mm."

282
00:12:14,021 --> 00:12:15,021
All I want to do
is be there in person,

283
00:12:15,021 --> 00:12:17,021
on that glorious day,

284
00:12:17,021 --> 00:12:19,021
when the first black president
take the oath.

285
00:12:19,021 --> 00:12:21,021
I just want to stand in the
crowd, somewhere in the front,

286
00:12:21,021 --> 00:12:24,021
maybe in the VIP section,
maybe next to Beyoncé.

287
00:12:24,021 --> 00:12:26,021
Are you aware
that some people are paying

288
00:12:26,021 --> 00:12:30,021
as much as $50,000
for VIP inauguration tickets?

289
00:12:30,021 --> 00:12:33,021
Well, I don't think you can put
a price on decades of struggle.

290
00:12:33,021 --> 00:12:37,021
Did you contribute any money
at all to the Obama campaign?

291
00:12:37,021 --> 00:12:39,021
I paid 10 bucks
for this T-shirt.

292
00:12:39,021 --> 00:12:41,021
Did you get that from
the campaign website?

293
00:12:41,021 --> 00:12:42,021
No, I got it from the guy
at the car wash,

294
00:12:42,021 --> 00:12:45,021
but it's still free advertising
when I wear it outside.

295
00:12:45,021 --> 00:12:47,021
A lot of people
see me in this shirt.

296
00:12:47,021 --> 00:12:48,021
I mean, before
we change the world,

297
00:12:48,021 --> 00:12:49,021
we gotta change
ourselves first.

298
00:12:49,021 --> 00:12:51,021
I mean, this is
the new colorless,

299
00:12:51,021 --> 00:12:52,021
flavorless and unscented era.

300
00:12:52,021 --> 00:12:55,021
Like, from now on, I'm calling
all my niggas "Obamas."

301
00:12:55,021 --> 00:12:57,021
And all my bitches
I'm calling "Michelles."

302
00:12:57,021 --> 00:12:58,021
Think about it.
If you was a bitch, right,

303
00:12:58,021 --> 00:13:01,021
would you rather be called
a "bitch" or "Michelle"?

304
00:13:01,021 --> 00:13:04,021
And what about
bitches named Michelle?

305
00:13:04,021 --> 00:13:07,021
Man, you making jokes. I'm
trying to uplift my Obamas.

306
00:13:11,021 --> 00:13:13,021
Yes, can you tell
the president-elect

307
00:13:13,021 --> 00:13:15,021
it's Civil Rights legend
Robert Freeman.

308
00:13:15,021 --> 00:13:19,021
F-R-E-E-M-A-N, who struggled
to open the door

309
00:13:19,021 --> 00:13:21,021
for him to be president.
You got all that?

310
00:13:21,021 --> 00:13:24,021
Right. Just tell him
I'm calling again

311
00:13:25,021 --> 00:13:26,021
about those tickets.
Again.

312
00:13:26,021 --> 00:13:29,021
Hey, man,
I got that Obama water.

313
00:13:29,021 --> 00:13:31,021
Change the way
you hydrate, brother.

314
00:13:31,021 --> 00:13:33,021
Yo, little man.
Hey, hey, check it out.

315
00:13:33,021 --> 00:13:35,021
I got commemorative plates,
two for 20.

316
00:13:35,021 --> 00:13:37,021
How many you need?
I'm cool.

317
00:13:37,021 --> 00:13:40,021
You believe in a few days we're
gonna have a black president?

318
00:13:40,021 --> 00:13:41,021
Aren't you excited,
little man?

319
00:13:42,021 --> 00:13:43,021
Eh.

320
00:13:43,021 --> 00:13:44,021
"Eh"?

321
00:13:44,021 --> 00:13:46,021
What's "eh"
supposed to mean?

322
00:13:46,021 --> 00:13:47,021
Just means "eh."

323
00:13:47,021 --> 00:13:49,021
What the deal man?
What's going on here?

324
00:13:49,021 --> 00:13:50,021
MAN: Yo, what's deal?
I asked this kid

325
00:13:50,021 --> 00:13:52,021
if he was excited about Obama
and he said "eh".

326
00:13:52,021 --> 00:13:54,021
"Eh"? He said "eh"?
Yeah.

327
00:13:54,021 --> 00:13:55,021
What's wrong with you?
You not excited?

328
00:13:55,021 --> 00:13:57,021
Not excited?
Who ain't excited?

329
00:13:57,021 --> 00:13:58,021
This little nigga.
Why ain't he excited?

330
00:13:58,021 --> 00:14:00,021
You don't like Obama.
You want McCain to win.

331
00:14:00,021 --> 00:14:03,021
I never said that--
Why ain't you like Barack Obama?

332
00:14:03,021 --> 00:14:04,021
He got
a lovely family.

333
00:14:04,021 --> 00:14:05,021
Not according
to this little nigga.

334
00:14:05,021 --> 00:14:07,021
He got a problem
with a black president.

335
00:14:07,021 --> 00:14:09,021
Boy, what's going on?
What did I tell you

336
00:14:09,021 --> 00:14:10,021
about talking to anybody
about anything?

337
00:14:10,021 --> 00:14:13,021
I didn't say anything.
 I ought to kick your ass.

338
00:14:13,021 --> 00:14:14,021
Everybody,
just calm down.

339
00:14:14,021 --> 00:14:15,021
Make a hole, darkies.

340
00:14:15,021 --> 00:14:17,021
Just what the hell
is going on here?

341
00:14:17,021 --> 00:14:19,021
Ruckus?
Oh, no.

342
00:14:19,021 --> 00:14:21,021
This little big-haired
nigga hates Obama.

343
00:14:21,021 --> 00:14:23,021
And I say good for him.

344
00:14:23,021 --> 00:14:25,021
Leave this little boy alone.

345
00:14:25,021 --> 00:14:26,021
He telling the truth.

346
00:14:26,021 --> 00:14:28,021
Barack Obama
is an evil man.

347
00:14:28,021 --> 00:14:30,021
Hey, everybody,
just calm down.

348
00:14:30,021 --> 00:14:33,021
You heard us.
You say "Yes, we can."

349
00:14:33,021 --> 00:14:35,021
We say,
"No, you can't, nigga."

350
00:14:35,021 --> 00:14:37,021
MAN:
Oh, hell no!

351
00:14:37,021 --> 00:14:38,021
RUCKUS:
Ow! I can't see!

352
00:14:40,021 --> 00:14:42,021
It's a monkey stampede!

353
00:14:42,021 --> 00:14:45,021
Race war!
Somebody get him!

354
00:14:45,021 --> 00:14:47,021
Idiots.
 Get in the car quick.

355
00:14:47,021 --> 00:14:49,021
RILEY:
Drive! Drive! Go, Granddad!

356
00:14:52,021 --> 00:14:54,021
NARRATOR: The American press struggles

357
00:14:54,021 --> 00:14:56,021
to comprehend the incident.

358
00:14:56,021 --> 00:14:58,021
To them, Huey is like a calf

359
00:14:58,021 --> 00:15:00,021
that refuses its mother's udder,

360
00:15:00,021 --> 00:15:03,021
choosing instead to drink the bitter waters

361
00:15:03,021 --> 00:15:04,021
of its own making.

362
00:15:04,021 --> 00:15:06,021
Here is the danger of too much hope.

363
00:15:06,021 --> 00:15:08,021
Skeptics are treated like blasphemers,

364
00:15:09,021 --> 00:15:12,021
and indifference becomes equal to hate.

365
00:15:16,021 --> 00:15:19,021
Robert Freeman calls a press conference

366
00:15:19,021 --> 00:15:20,021
to do damage control.

367
00:15:20,021 --> 00:15:24,021
Huey Freeman
is not really my grandson.

368
00:15:24,021 --> 00:15:26,021
I refute, renounce,
and rebuke him.

369
00:15:26,021 --> 00:15:29,021
I hope this incident
in no way affects my request

370
00:15:29,021 --> 00:15:30,021
for VIP inaugural tickets,

371
00:15:30,021 --> 00:15:35,021
and/or slash the inaugural ball
with Beyoncé.

372
00:15:35,021 --> 00:15:37,021
Rosa Parks
is no longer with us,

373
00:15:37,021 --> 00:15:39,021
but I consider myself to be
the next best thing.

374
00:15:39,021 --> 00:15:42,021
In many ways, better.

375
00:15:42,021 --> 00:15:44,021
NARRATOR:
Where is your wife?

376
00:15:45,021 --> 00:15:46,021
She's in, uh, D.C.

377
00:15:46,021 --> 00:15:48,021
There was a problem or
something with the tickets,

378
00:15:48,021 --> 00:15:50,021
so we only had one
and I let her have it.

379
00:15:50,021 --> 00:15:52,021
Are you afraid
your wife will have

380
00:15:52,021 --> 00:15:54,021
lusty sex
with Barack Obama?

381
00:15:54,021 --> 00:15:55,021
What? No!

382
00:15:57,021 --> 00:15:58,021
No. That's impossible.

383
00:15:58,021 --> 00:16:00,021
I didn't ask
if it was possible,

384
00:16:00,021 --> 00:16:01,021
only if you were afraid.

385
00:16:02,021 --> 00:16:05,021
I can't help but notice
you are like a less attractive,

386
00:16:05,021 --> 00:16:08,021
less wealthy, less powerful
version of him.

387
00:16:08,021 --> 00:16:11,021
It is quite understandable
for you to be concerned.

388
00:16:11,021 --> 00:16:14,021
NEWSCASTER: Celebrities, dignitaries

389
00:16:11,021 --> 00:16:14,021
and Civil Rights legends

390
00:16:14,021 --> 00:16:17,021
are arriving in droves for the inauguration of Barack Obama.

391
00:16:17,021 --> 00:16:20,021
Anyone hoping to get tickets at this point, don't bother.

392
00:16:20,021 --> 00:16:23,021
The ship has sailed and you are not on it,

393
00:16:23,021 --> 00:16:24,021
because you are not important.

394
00:16:24,021 --> 00:16:27,021
Hey, Granddad,
this was at the door.

395
00:16:27,021 --> 00:16:30,021
"Office of the president-elect?"

396
00:16:30,021 --> 00:16:32,021
: "Mr. Freeman.

397
00:16:32,021 --> 00:16:34,021
"Please find enclosed two VIP tickets to the inauguration,

398
00:16:34,021 --> 00:16:36,021
"as well as the inaugural ball with Beyoncé,

399
00:16:36,021 --> 00:16:39,021
"as a small token of gratitude for all the sacrifices

400
00:16:39,021 --> 00:16:42,021
"you've made on behalf of me and this great country.

401
00:16:42,021 --> 00:16:45,021
"I look forward to sharing this historic day with you.

402
00:16:45,021 --> 00:16:49,021
Sincerely, President-Elect Barack Obama."

403
00:16:51,021 --> 00:16:54,021
What's going on?
 I'm going to the inauguration.

404
00:16:54,021 --> 00:16:56,021
You wanna come?
Yeah, boy!

405
00:16:56,021 --> 00:16:57,021
NARRATOR: And just like that,

406
00:16:58,021 --> 00:17:01,021
virtually foaming at the mouth with unbridled excitement,

407
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:04,021
Robert and Riley leave for the inauguration.

408
00:17:08,021 --> 00:17:10,021
You are looking at the final mission

409
00:17:10,021 --> 00:17:12,021
of a domestic terrorist.

410
00:17:12,021 --> 00:17:14,021
Operation Exodus.

411
00:17:14,021 --> 00:17:18,021
Convinced he has no place in Obama's America,

412
00:17:18,021 --> 00:17:21,021
Huey Freeman decides to leave the country for good.

413
00:17:21,021 --> 00:17:25,021
And he has an unlikely companion.

414
00:17:25,021 --> 00:17:27,021
I was gonna go
to the inauguration

415
00:17:27,021 --> 00:17:30,021
and try to crown Obama with
a brick, but who am I fooling?

416
00:17:30,021 --> 00:17:31,021
My arm just ain't
what it used to be.

417
00:17:31,021 --> 00:17:33,021
Plus, that greasy nigga
is really fast.

418
00:17:34,021 --> 00:17:35,021
And knowing these
liberal activist judges,

419
00:17:35,021 --> 00:17:38,021
they might actually try
and put me in jail for it.

420
00:17:38,021 --> 00:17:40,021
No, I think...

421
00:17:40,021 --> 00:17:43,021
I think it's time for me
to leave this great country.

422
00:17:43,021 --> 00:17:44,021
Oh, I can't bear to see it run

423
00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:47,021
by an African Muslim
Communist Antichrist.

424
00:17:47,021 --> 00:17:48,021
I just can't.

425
00:17:48,021 --> 00:17:50,021
It's just like when
Nicole Brown Simpson

426
00:17:50,021 --> 00:17:54,021
married that nigga O.J.
back on February 2, 1985.

427
00:17:55,021 --> 00:17:57,021
Oh, I knew it was gonna
end badly. I told them.

428
00:17:57,021 --> 00:17:59,021
I told them all.

429
00:17:59,021 --> 00:18:00,021
But nobody wanted to listen

430
00:18:00,021 --> 00:18:02,021
to old Uncle Ruckus
then neither.

431
00:18:04,021 --> 00:18:07,021
I wanna go someplace I'll fit
in, like Norway or Ireland.

432
00:18:07,021 --> 00:18:09,021
HUEY:
What about the Ivory Coast?

433
00:18:09,021 --> 00:18:11,021
Absolutely no Africa!
No way!

434
00:18:11,021 --> 00:18:12,021
All them countries got
nigga presidents,

435
00:18:13,021 --> 00:18:15,021
which defeats the whole purpose
of leaving this country.

436
00:18:15,021 --> 00:18:19,021
NARRATOR:
How do you feel being teamed up

437
00:18:15,021 --> 00:18:19,021
with your archenemy?

438
00:18:19,021 --> 00:18:21,021
First of all,
we're not a team.

439
00:18:21,021 --> 00:18:23,021
Second of all,
we're not a team.

440
00:18:23,021 --> 00:18:25,021
I've got gas money,
he's got the license.

441
00:18:25,021 --> 00:18:26,021
We're just gonna
drive to Canada

442
00:18:26,021 --> 00:18:28,021
and then go
our separate ways.

443
00:18:31,021 --> 00:18:34,021
You see, Bill, I consider
myself a black leader now,

444
00:18:34,021 --> 00:18:37,021
and that means helping Obama
and doing anything he asks.

445
00:18:37,021 --> 00:18:39,021
Oh, yes, I can hear
your concern

446
00:18:39,021 --> 00:18:40,021
for the state of the world
in that song you did

447
00:18:40,021 --> 00:18:43,021
about stomping people
in the nuts.

448
00:18:44,021 --> 00:18:46,021
Oh, that was the old me.
Everything's different now.

449
00:18:46,021 --> 00:18:48,021
I'm much, much more politically
aware and stuff.

450
00:18:48,021 --> 00:18:51,021
Really? Well, name the three
branches of government then.

451
00:18:51,021 --> 00:18:53,021
The what?
Come on, black leader.

452
00:18:53,021 --> 00:18:55,021
It's fourth grade
Social Studies time.

453
00:18:55,021 --> 00:18:57,021
What are the three branches
of government?

454
00:18:57,021 --> 00:18:59,021
Uh, let's see.

455
00:18:59,021 --> 00:19:00,021
They got the main branch.

456
00:19:01,021 --> 00:19:03,021
Uh...

457
00:19:06,021 --> 00:19:09,021
If you're a black leader,
I'm glad I'm a white man.

458
00:19:13,021 --> 00:19:16,021
MAN:
What a moron.

459
00:19:23,021 --> 00:19:26,021
What's the point of talking
if nobody ever learns?

460
00:19:33,021 --> 00:19:36,021
This is an outrage.
I have my rights.

461
00:19:38,021 --> 00:19:39,021
Oh, them bricks ain't mine.

462
00:19:39,021 --> 00:19:41,021
Ain't that a surprise.

463
00:19:41,021 --> 00:19:42,021
Already taking away

464
00:19:42,021 --> 00:19:44,021
my constitutional right
to bear bricks.

465
00:19:44,021 --> 00:19:46,021
Martial law!
Martial law!

466
00:19:46,021 --> 00:19:47,021
Get your arms off of me.

467
00:19:47,021 --> 00:19:48,021
OBAMA: We remain a young nation,

468
00:19:48,021 --> 00:19:51,021
but in the words of Scripture,

469
00:19:51,021 --> 00:19:54,021
the time has come to set aside childish things.

470
00:19:56,021 --> 00:20:00,021
The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit,

471
00:20:00,021 --> 00:20:01,021
to choose our part in history.

472
00:20:05,021 --> 00:20:08,021
No! Please!
I have VIP tickets!

473
00:20:08,021 --> 00:20:10,021
We all got VIP tickets!

474
00:20:11,021 --> 00:20:12,021
Hey.
 Get your hands off me.

475
00:20:12,021 --> 00:20:14,021
All right,
you in trouble now.

476
00:20:14,021 --> 00:20:17,021
I'm calling my nigga Obeezy.

477
00:20:18,021 --> 00:20:19,021
Please don't Tase me.
Don't Tase me, bro.

478
00:20:20,021 --> 00:20:21,021
I'm a old man.
I got a heart condition.

479
00:20:23,021 --> 00:20:26,021
You can't do this to me!
I'm a Civil Rights legend!

480
00:20:28,021 --> 00:20:31,021
Save us, Obama!

481
00:20:34,021 --> 00:20:35,021
NARRATOR: Huey Freeman is forced

482
00:20:35,021 --> 00:20:37,021
to abort Operation Exodus

483
00:20:37,021 --> 00:20:40,021
because he cannot get a ride.

484
00:20:49,021 --> 00:20:50,021
Barack Obama?

485
00:20:50,021 --> 00:20:52,021
I just found out that fool
is gonna raise my taxes.

486
00:20:52,021 --> 00:20:54,021
His promises are just
like his tickets: worthless.

487
00:20:55,021 --> 00:20:56,021
Good thing I didn't vote
for his lying ass.

488
00:20:56,021 --> 00:20:58,021
Obama ain't no real nigga.

489
00:20:58,021 --> 00:20:59,021
And check this out:

490
00:20:59,021 --> 00:21:01,021
I heard he works
for the feds.

491
00:21:01,021 --> 00:21:04,021
That ain't a good look,
Barack.

492
00:21:04,021 --> 00:21:06,021
Washington
was indescribable.

493
00:21:06,021 --> 00:21:09,021
It was just so amazing.

494
00:21:09,021 --> 00:21:11,021
And I got to meet him.
 NARRATOR: Was he everything

495
00:21:11,021 --> 00:21:12,021
you dreamed he would be?

496
00:21:12,021 --> 00:21:14,021
Oh, yes, he was.

497
00:21:14,021 --> 00:21:15,021
And so much more.

498
00:21:17,021 --> 00:21:19,021
Oh, yeah, I'm still down
for the cause and shit,

499
00:21:19,021 --> 00:21:21,021
but I'm like, hey, I did my
part, you know what I'm saying?

500
00:21:21,021 --> 00:21:22,021
I got the nigga elected.

501
00:21:22,021 --> 00:21:24,021
Time to get back to work,
feel me?

502
00:21:24,021 --> 00:21:26,021
Doing what Thugnificent do.
Besides, them tight-ass clothes

503
00:21:26,021 --> 00:21:28,021
was cutting off
my circulation.

504
00:21:28,021 --> 00:21:30,021
Due to the conditions
of my parole,

505
00:21:30,021 --> 00:21:33,021
I am unable to leave
the country at this time.

506
00:21:33,021 --> 00:21:37,021
I am forced to remain here and
express my extreme displeasure

507
00:21:37,021 --> 00:21:39,021
while in no way threatening

508
00:21:39,021 --> 00:21:42,021
the life of the president
and his beautiful monkey family.

509
00:21:42,021 --> 00:21:44,021
NARRATOR: I ask Huey Freeman

510
00:21:45,021 --> 00:21:47,021
if he has any final thoughts

511
00:21:47,021 --> 00:21:50,021
he'd like to share.

512
00:21:50,021 --> 00:21:53,021
Yeah. I'm retired.
