1
00:00:13,416 --> 00:00:16,126
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

2
00:00:16,791 --> 00:00:18,501
Sounds simple enough, right?

3
00:00:19,208 --> 00:00:22,128
Except when what we behold
has been manipulated.

4
00:00:30,458 --> 00:00:32,788
Since Black people first hit these shores,

5
00:00:32,875 --> 00:00:37,325
we've been programmed to value
one standard of beauty above all others.

6
00:00:37,416 --> 00:00:42,536
During the 1780s, German historian
Christoph Meiners peddled the idea

7
00:00:42,625 --> 00:00:45,125
that mankind was split into two divisions,

8
00:00:45,208 --> 00:00:49,328
the beautiful white race,
and the ugly Black race.

9
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:54,380
Let's just say,
not everyone agrees with that theory.

10
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,540
I'm telling you,
I've been to the eye doctor,

11
00:01:04,625 --> 00:01:07,165
I've ran my errands, and my stew is ready.

12
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,960
This slow cooker will change your life.

13
00:01:13,375 --> 00:01:14,205
Okay.

14
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:19,830
Yeah, I gotta go
'cause my kid comes home ravenous.

15
00:01:21,833 --> 00:01:24,133
I haven't heard a word about it.

16
00:01:24,791 --> 00:01:25,881
Mm.

17
00:01:26,458 --> 00:01:32,128
Rick, Donna said that, uh,
Reece is going to the Homecoming Dance.

18
00:01:32,208 --> 00:01:34,578
Do you know if Colin's planning to go?

19
00:01:34,666 --> 00:01:36,576
No? Yeah. No.

20
00:01:37,041 --> 00:01:40,751
Uh, we don't know.
Colin's not a big talker.

21
00:01:40,833 --> 00:01:42,003
-Oh.

22
00:01:42,708 --> 00:01:46,328
He's here. I'll get it out of him. Bye.

23
00:01:48,416 --> 00:01:49,706
-What's up?
-Hey.

24
00:01:51,375 --> 00:01:53,075
-How was your day?
-All right.

25
00:01:56,750 --> 00:01:57,790
What?

26
00:01:57,875 --> 00:02:01,495
Go, find out if he's going
to the Homecoming Dance.

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,750
Okay. Encourage him
'cause it'll be good for him.

28
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:07,293
Maybe it'll take his mind off of things.

29
00:02:15,041 --> 00:02:16,171
Just chilling out?

30
00:02:24,916 --> 00:02:29,036
Have you given any thought
to going to the Homecoming Dance?

31
00:02:31,916 --> 00:02:32,746
No.

32
00:02:33,625 --> 00:02:38,375
Um, you mean, no, like, you're not going,
or no, you haven't thought about it?

33
00:02:39,666 --> 00:02:45,246
No. I haven't really thought about it.
I got my mind on other things.

34
00:02:45,333 --> 00:02:46,383
Sure.

35
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:50,958
Your brother and sister went.
Not together. They had dates.

36
00:02:53,916 --> 00:02:57,496
I bet there's tons of girls
that would love to go with you.

37
00:02:57,583 --> 00:03:00,213
Not just 'cause you're an athlete.
You're a nice guy.

38
00:03:02,458 --> 00:03:03,918
She's pretty, huh?

39
00:03:04,458 --> 00:03:07,378
She's the one Bruce Springsteen
hand-picked to be in his video.

40
00:03:08,791 --> 00:03:09,711
Meh.

41
00:03:09,791 --> 00:03:13,001
Just, uh, what is your type?

42
00:03:39,583 --> 00:03:42,083
-Y'all think she's cute?
-Hell yeah.

43
00:03:42,166 --> 00:03:45,376
But I don't like athletic girls,
they're too tall. And too confident.

44
00:03:45,458 --> 00:03:46,628
You sound dumb.

45
00:03:46,708 --> 00:03:48,248
Y'all going to Homecoming?

46
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:50,003
I'm sorry, do we look corny to you?

47
00:03:50,583 --> 00:03:52,673
Dances are for busters,
and I ain't no buster.

48
00:03:52,750 --> 00:03:53,750
I'm taking my girl.

49
00:03:54,750 --> 00:03:57,960
I rest my case.
Why you asking? Wait, you too?

50
00:03:58,541 --> 00:04:00,171
Busters, both of y'all.

51
00:04:04,208 --> 00:04:09,128
Hey. I saw your leg cramp up
on you earlier. I felt so bad for you.

52
00:04:09,916 --> 00:04:13,576
Heh. It really wasn't all that bad,
but thank you.

53
00:04:13,666 --> 00:04:17,826
You know, I'm, like,
crazy good at leg massages.

54
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:20,495
Cool.

55
00:04:21,625 --> 00:04:23,705
-Thank you.
-Yeah. Yeah.

56
00:04:24,833 --> 00:04:26,463
-I'll let you know.
-Okay.

57
00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:33,378
Wait, hold up, hold up.

58
00:04:33,875 --> 00:04:36,535
So you got one of the
baddest girls in school jockin' you,

59
00:04:37,041 --> 00:04:39,171
and you checkin' for crispy Crystal?

60
00:04:39,666 --> 00:04:43,536
Nah, she was just sittin' over there,
and I was just, like, "Yo, what's up?"

61
00:04:43,625 --> 00:04:47,075
You know, she was checkin' me out.
I was just, like, "What's up, you know?"

62
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:49,326
And she was like... you know?

63
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:54,290
So you gonna take Hailey up on that offer?
'Cause if not, then I will.

64
00:04:54,375 --> 00:04:55,995
Like, shoot, hook me up right now.

65
00:05:13,833 --> 00:05:15,133
What's up, Crystal?

66
00:05:18,208 --> 00:05:19,458
What's up, Crystal?

67
00:05:23,583 --> 00:05:24,793
What's up, Crystal?

68
00:05:50,208 --> 00:05:53,498
Crystal.
Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?

69
00:05:53,583 --> 00:05:56,333
Um, kind of busy right now.
Sorry, my mom's waiting.

70
00:05:56,416 --> 00:05:57,876
Hold on a sec.

71
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,210
Colin!

72
00:06:05,458 --> 00:06:06,458
Hey, cutie.

73
00:06:07,541 --> 00:06:08,671
We should hang sometime.

74
00:06:12,208 --> 00:06:15,538
Yeah, um, okay. We can. Sometime.

75
00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:17,245
Well, give me your number.

76
00:06:26,041 --> 00:06:26,881
See ya.

77
00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:30,753
I knew it. I knew you were feeling her.

78
00:06:33,208 --> 00:06:35,538
Yeah. So what if I am?

79
00:06:35,625 --> 00:06:39,495
Look, I don't get it.
You know, Hailey's a dime. Crystal's a...

80
00:06:41,541 --> 00:06:42,711
Hailey's a dime.

81
00:06:42,791 --> 00:06:45,831
-Shut up.
-What? I didn't even say nothin'.

82
00:06:45,916 --> 00:06:47,166
You kind of did, though.

83
00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:51,380
Look, okay, I'm just saying.
You got Hailey, and you got Crystal.

84
00:06:51,875 --> 00:06:54,035
If it was up to me,
I know which one I'd pick.

85
00:06:54,791 --> 00:06:57,501
Bro, her mom's car is on life support.

86
00:06:58,291 --> 00:07:01,751
In the 1940s,
Black psychologists conducted a test

87
00:07:01,833 --> 00:07:04,133
to determine the psychological effects

88
00:07:04,208 --> 00:07:06,208
of segregation on Black kids.

89
00:07:06,708 --> 00:07:08,788
It's known as "the doll test."

90
00:07:09,541 --> 00:07:11,461
Children were shown two dolls,

91
00:07:11,541 --> 00:07:14,711
one Black, one white,

92
00:07:14,791 --> 00:07:17,581
and asked who was good or bad,

93
00:07:18,083 --> 00:07:19,673
pretty or ugly,

94
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:22,920
and who the children
most wanted to be like.

95
00:07:23,541 --> 00:07:27,131
In most cases,
children chose the white doll.

96
00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:29,920
There are lots
of different colors for skin.

97
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,040
I have questions for you about
these pictures of different children.

98
00:07:34,125 --> 00:07:35,535
After I read the question,

99
00:07:35,625 --> 00:07:39,825
I want you to point to the picture
that fits the story.

100
00:07:39,916 --> 00:07:42,876
This test has been conducted,
not just in America,

101
00:07:43,375 --> 00:07:44,995
but all over the world,

102
00:07:45,750 --> 00:07:49,330
always yielding similar results.

103
00:07:49,416 --> 00:07:51,076
Show me the mean child.

104
00:07:52,083 --> 00:07:54,043
Show me the dumb child.

105
00:07:54,958 --> 00:07:56,248
Show me the bad child.

106
00:07:56,333 --> 00:07:57,293
The mean child.

107
00:07:57,375 --> 00:07:59,125
The dumb child.

108
00:07:59,208 --> 00:08:00,878
The bad child. The ugly child.

109
00:08:00,958 --> 00:08:05,458
Mean child. Dumb child. Bad child.
Mean. Dumb. Mean. Dumb.

110
00:08:21,208 --> 00:08:22,708
You're not gonna say hi?

111
00:08:25,125 --> 00:08:25,995
Hi.

112
00:08:30,500 --> 00:08:32,000
-What?
-You tell me.

113
00:08:32,791 --> 00:08:34,541
You wanted to talk yesterday.

114
00:08:34,625 --> 00:08:35,915
That was yesterday.

115
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:38,326
Oh, it's like that?

116
00:08:38,416 --> 00:08:41,416
Well, you didn't wanna talk to me.

117
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:42,830
I wasn't prepared.

118
00:08:44,333 --> 00:08:45,713
I said I was busy.

119
00:08:47,375 --> 00:08:48,375
And now I'm not.

120
00:08:50,958 --> 00:08:51,958
Okay.

121
00:08:54,125 --> 00:08:55,035
So...

122
00:08:55,625 --> 00:08:56,625
Um...

123
00:08:59,791 --> 00:09:02,541
I wanted to-- To see...

124
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:07,250
No, I wanted to-- To ask you if...

125
00:09:09,833 --> 00:09:13,633
you wanna go out with me sometime.

126
00:09:14,208 --> 00:09:15,748
You know, to get some food?

127
00:09:16,916 --> 00:09:18,666
Go to the movies, or...

128
00:09:21,375 --> 00:09:22,665
Or to Homecoming.

129
00:09:25,416 --> 00:09:26,706
How about all three?

130
00:09:31,875 --> 00:09:33,125
All three is good.

131
00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:35,880
All three is good.

132
00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:46,210
Hey.

133
00:09:48,208 --> 00:09:49,958
How's school, anything new?

134
00:09:51,041 --> 00:09:51,961
No.

135
00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:56,170
Oh.

136
00:09:59,708 --> 00:10:02,078
-Can you sign this for me?
-What is it?

137
00:10:05,916 --> 00:10:09,376
The permission slip
for the Homecoming Dance.

138
00:10:09,458 --> 00:10:14,168
Are you going to the Homecoming Dance?
Rick, he's going to the Homecoming Dance!

139
00:10:14,250 --> 00:10:16,000
That is great. That's great.

140
00:10:16,083 --> 00:10:17,133
Now, be careful.

141
00:10:17,208 --> 00:10:20,288
I took your mother to the prom,
and look at us, we got three kids.

142
00:10:22,083 --> 00:10:24,383
-Who's the lucky girl?
-You guys don't know her.

143
00:10:24,875 --> 00:10:27,535
-I bet she's pretty.
-Yeah.

144
00:10:30,041 --> 00:10:32,251
We should meet her and her parents.

145
00:10:35,250 --> 00:10:36,080
No.

146
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:37,830
I'm good.

147
00:10:39,166 --> 00:10:40,326
So can you sign it?

148
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:44,330
Thanks.

149
00:10:53,958 --> 00:10:56,788
Got any plans this weekend?
Other than football?

150
00:10:59,458 --> 00:11:00,288
Nah.

151
00:11:00,375 --> 00:11:05,535
Oh, actually my sister's coming into town,
so I might go with her to visit her horse.

152
00:11:06,125 --> 00:11:07,075
You have a horse?

153
00:11:07,583 --> 00:11:12,003
No. No, no. I don't have a horse.
My sister has a horse.

154
00:11:12,083 --> 00:11:15,543
Okay, but it's a real horse?

155
00:11:16,041 --> 00:11:19,081
Yeah. It's not my horse.

156
00:11:20,583 --> 00:11:23,043
-What are you looking for?
-Cowboy boots.

157
00:11:29,375 --> 00:11:31,955
So, what color we wearing to the dance?

158
00:11:34,666 --> 00:11:36,246
-Red?
-Gold.

159
00:11:37,875 --> 00:11:40,035
Gold? All right.

160
00:11:40,916 --> 00:11:41,746
Gold.

161
00:11:43,250 --> 00:11:44,210
You sure?

162
00:11:44,750 --> 00:11:47,330
We're gonna look good. Watch.

163
00:11:47,416 --> 00:11:48,376
Okay.

164
00:11:51,583 --> 00:11:52,833
Pick you up at 5?

165
00:11:53,458 --> 00:11:55,208
Why can't I meet her?

166
00:11:55,291 --> 00:11:57,461
I love my boys...

167
00:11:58,583 --> 00:12:02,083
but girls let their mothers in.

168
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:05,916
Like when Devon got her tattoo?

169
00:12:06,416 --> 00:12:07,376
Oh, God.

170
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:10,130
The tattoo!

171
00:12:10,208 --> 00:12:12,668
I could have died.

172
00:12:12,750 --> 00:12:13,790
Mm.

173
00:12:13,875 --> 00:12:16,575
Colin would never.

174
00:12:22,750 --> 00:12:23,580
Hello?

175
00:12:25,083 --> 00:12:27,293
Yep. Colin!

176
00:12:28,291 --> 00:12:29,501
Eddie!

177
00:12:29,583 --> 00:12:31,173
I got it, Mom.

178
00:12:35,541 --> 00:12:37,711
-Hey, what...?
-It was cool, you know?

179
00:12:38,333 --> 00:12:42,753
Just, you know, we sat down,
we talked, we ate some tacos.

180
00:12:43,291 --> 00:12:47,541
Look, I ain't mad at you, man.
Crystal, she cute, just so damn Black.

181
00:12:47,625 --> 00:12:50,495
So Black, her crayon color
would be Deep Space.

182
00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:52,673
Permission to laugh at that? Granted.

183
00:12:53,041 --> 00:12:54,631
What are you trying to say?

184
00:12:54,708 --> 00:12:59,498
Crystal's cuter than Hailey,
Brittany, Bailey, all them other girls.

185
00:13:00,083 --> 00:13:03,543
I don't care what anybody thinks.
She's pretty to me.

186
00:13:03,625 --> 00:13:06,075
Damn, Colin.
I never said she wasn't pretty.

187
00:13:06,166 --> 00:13:08,746
I just said
she's a little darker than everybody.

188
00:13:08,833 --> 00:13:13,963
She not just Black, she's blue black.
I mean, but she fine. She fine.

189
00:13:14,041 --> 00:13:16,501
What does that mean, blue black?

190
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,790
I don't know, Teresa.
Hang up, hang up the phone.

191
00:13:37,666 --> 00:13:38,496
Hello?

192
00:13:38,583 --> 00:13:40,583
Hey, Crystal. It's Colin.

193
00:13:41,166 --> 00:13:42,956
-Hey.
-Here, talk to my mom.

194
00:13:45,083 --> 00:13:46,333
Hi, Colin's mom.

195
00:13:46,416 --> 00:13:47,536
Oh, hi there.

196
00:13:48,375 --> 00:13:49,375
Hold on a sec.

197
00:13:52,750 --> 00:13:54,000
Good night, Mom.

198
00:14:11,875 --> 00:14:14,575
Oh, hi, baby.

199
00:14:15,666 --> 00:14:18,496
Ooh, you a cute thing. Welcome.

200
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:20,535
You got any uncles?

201
00:14:21,166 --> 00:14:25,206
Uh, no. I mean, I do, but they have wives.

202
00:14:25,875 --> 00:14:27,665
I don't want your uncle, baby.

203
00:14:28,458 --> 00:14:29,498
I'm just talking.

204
00:14:29,583 --> 00:14:31,923
Crystal be out soon.
Go on, take a look at things.

205
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,380
Make yourself at home.

206
00:14:33,958 --> 00:14:35,248
I swear.

207
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:37,173
Nice to meet you. Colin.

208
00:14:38,541 --> 00:14:39,421
Hi.

209
00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:41,333
Can I set this down?

210
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:44,583
Wow.

211
00:14:46,375 --> 00:14:48,165
That's a lot of food.

212
00:14:48,250 --> 00:14:49,290
Look good, huh?

213
00:14:50,333 --> 00:14:51,923
Hey, baby.

214
00:14:52,583 --> 00:14:55,793
-Oh, I'm Crystal's mom, Sherry.
-Hi, nice to meet you.

215
00:14:56,416 --> 00:14:57,786
She's almost ready.

216
00:14:59,041 --> 00:15:00,171
Can I make you a plate?

217
00:15:00,250 --> 00:15:02,830
Yeah. Um, it looks great.

218
00:15:02,916 --> 00:15:03,956
Hey, man.

219
00:15:04,833 --> 00:15:07,133
-I'm Cryssie Uncle Nunu.
-Nice to meet you.

220
00:15:07,208 --> 00:15:10,038
-Y'all go to the same school?
-Yeah, he goes to Pitman.

221
00:15:10,541 --> 00:15:15,171
This young man is
a baseball, basketball, and football star.

222
00:15:15,833 --> 00:15:18,673
You a little baby Dave Winfield.

223
00:15:18,750 --> 00:15:23,250
That brother
was drafted by three major leagues.

224
00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:24,753
Y'all don't know about that.

225
00:15:24,833 --> 00:15:27,753
He got drafted by the Padres,
played for the Yankees,

226
00:15:28,416 --> 00:15:30,576
played for the Hawks
and the Minnesota Vikings.

227
00:15:30,666 --> 00:15:35,166
And he's smart too.
Oh, my niece has such good taste.

228
00:15:35,250 --> 00:15:38,830
-Try some of this pie.
-Thank you. Yeah. I love pumpkin pie.

229
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,540
Bite your tongue, pumpkin pie.
It's sweet potato pie.

230
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,420
Bless your heart.

231
00:16:10,166 --> 00:16:11,626
I got you something.

232
00:16:19,333 --> 00:16:20,503
It's pretty.

233
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:25,790
We look good. Told you we'd rock the gold.

234
00:16:26,375 --> 00:16:27,875
You're rocking the gold.

235
00:16:28,666 --> 00:16:31,496
Okay, that's enough drooling
all over each other. Excuse me.

236
00:16:31,583 --> 00:16:34,333
Oh, my goodness, Daddy,
move them Gators out the way.

237
00:16:35,625 --> 00:16:37,875
Okay, babies, it's just a flash. Go ahead.

238
00:16:37,958 --> 00:16:39,828
Think your mama could save my plate?

239
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:42,036
Okay, say cheese.

240
00:17:50,333 --> 00:17:52,213
-Hey.
-Hi, Mom.

241
00:17:52,708 --> 00:17:53,878
How was your day?

242
00:17:54,375 --> 00:17:57,125
-It was pretty good. How about you?
-Not bad.

243
00:18:15,458 --> 00:18:16,668
Oh, look.

244
00:18:18,416 --> 00:18:19,786
It's Colin's photos.

245
00:18:19,875 --> 00:18:22,285
-Ooh. Ooh.
-From the Homecoming Dance.

246
00:18:32,041 --> 00:18:33,171
Whoa.

247
00:18:36,083 --> 00:18:40,003
Wow. I'll say one thing.
Gold is her color.

248
00:18:40,083 --> 00:18:40,963
Yes.

249
00:18:42,625 --> 00:18:44,575
Yes, it is.

250
00:18:47,875 --> 00:18:51,165
Is this what Eddie meant by blue black?

251
00:18:54,666 --> 00:18:56,376
Well, I'm not gonna worry myself.

252
00:18:58,750 --> 00:19:00,460
You know how these kids are.

253
00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:06,040
It's probably just a passing phase,

254
00:19:06,125 --> 00:19:11,325
and Colin will be so caught up in sports,
probably forget all about her.

255
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:29,131
-Hey, you.
-Hey.

256
00:19:29,208 --> 00:19:30,628
You get an offer yet?

257
00:19:31,625 --> 00:19:32,455
Not yet.

258
00:19:32,541 --> 00:19:35,461
Well, I'm offering to take you
to see Coach Carter this weekend.

259
00:19:35,541 --> 00:19:37,671
I know it's not college football, but...

260
00:19:38,208 --> 00:19:41,578
I got a football game tonight
and a baseball game tomorrow.

261
00:19:41,666 --> 00:19:42,576
Rain check?

262
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:46,670
That's like ten rain checks, Colin.

263
00:19:46,750 --> 00:19:47,630
I'm sorry.

264
00:19:47,708 --> 00:19:50,458
We haven't spent any time together
since Homecoming.

265
00:19:50,541 --> 00:19:51,461
We will.

266
00:19:52,291 --> 00:19:53,131
Soon.

267
00:19:54,750 --> 00:19:58,790
I think next month
there's an amusement park opening up.

268
00:19:58,875 --> 00:20:01,165
I'll have more time,
I won't be at so many games--

269
00:20:01,250 --> 00:20:04,290
Kaepernick, you chatting with the ladies,
or you getting on the bus?

270
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,000
We will. Soon.

271
00:20:12,041 --> 00:20:14,381
Colin, is it true what they say?

272
00:20:14,458 --> 00:20:17,418
The blacker the berry,
the sweeter the juice.

273
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:31,080
-Hey.
-How are you?

274
00:20:31,166 --> 00:20:32,036
I'm cool.

275
00:20:33,375 --> 00:20:35,375
-How are you?
-Haven't seen these before.

276
00:20:40,333 --> 00:20:44,383
I got good news.
I might be able to hang out on Sunday.

277
00:20:45,291 --> 00:20:47,831
Can't do it. I have to work.

278
00:20:50,333 --> 00:20:51,423
You got a job?

279
00:20:53,791 --> 00:20:55,001
That's cool, yeah.

280
00:20:55,083 --> 00:20:58,083
Just a part-time flipping burgers thing.

281
00:20:58,833 --> 00:20:59,963
It's whatever.

282
00:21:01,416 --> 00:21:05,286
We can't seem to get our timing right.
I'll see you later, okay?

283
00:21:16,166 --> 00:21:18,576
I just had the best walk with Beth.

284
00:21:25,875 --> 00:21:26,745
You know...

285
00:21:29,208 --> 00:21:30,668
her daughter Lindsey...

286
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:34,291
just broke up with her boyfriend
a little while ago.

287
00:21:34,750 --> 00:21:35,750
Mm-hm.

288
00:21:35,833 --> 00:21:38,133
She doesn't have a date
for the Winter Formal.

289
00:21:38,208 --> 00:21:39,328
I didn't know.

290
00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:43,630
Such a beautiful girl.

291
00:21:46,333 --> 00:21:48,503
Beth was wondering
who you were going with.

292
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,040
No, Mom.

293
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,880
We just thought
it would be a hoot if you took Lindsey.

294
00:21:57,625 --> 00:21:59,415
She's a cheerleader.

295
00:21:59,916 --> 00:22:01,746
She comes from a great family.

296
00:22:01,833 --> 00:22:05,463
You guys would be
the best-looking couple at the thing.

297
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:07,330
Pass.

298
00:22:10,333 --> 00:22:11,583
All right.

299
00:22:12,875 --> 00:22:14,165
See you after school.

300
00:22:20,666 --> 00:22:22,536
You going to the Winter Formal?

301
00:22:22,625 --> 00:22:25,415
Oh, yeah. Ashley is making me go.

302
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:28,880
She said she got us a hotel room
and stuff for an after party.

303
00:22:29,458 --> 00:22:30,788
-Are you going?
-Yeah.

304
00:22:31,625 --> 00:22:34,875
Gotta just check up with Crystal.
Haven't seen her in a hot minute.

305
00:22:34,958 --> 00:22:36,878
-You're taking Crystal?
-Yeah.

306
00:22:37,791 --> 00:22:38,711
Are you sure?

307
00:22:57,916 --> 00:22:58,996
For real, Colin?

308
00:22:59,666 --> 00:23:03,876
It's not like we were engaged.
And we haven't seen each other in weeks.

309
00:23:03,958 --> 00:23:05,248
What? Not true.

310
00:23:05,333 --> 00:23:07,883
Passing each other in the hall
doesn't count.

311
00:23:07,958 --> 00:23:09,748
-I've been busy.
-I know.

312
00:23:09,833 --> 00:23:11,583
I'm busy too, Colin.

313
00:23:12,083 --> 00:23:16,333
But like my momma always says,
we make time for the things we care about.

314
00:23:17,583 --> 00:23:20,923
So instead of waiting for you,
I'm living my life.

315
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:27,713
-You going to the Winter Formal?
-We'll see.

316
00:23:27,791 --> 00:23:30,751
Well, you know, I was gonna go,

317
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:34,040
but the girl I wanted to bring,
she dissed me.

318
00:23:35,666 --> 00:23:37,456
My parents are trying to set me up.

319
00:23:41,416 --> 00:23:42,536
You should go.

320
00:23:43,916 --> 00:23:44,826
We'll see.

321
00:23:54,833 --> 00:23:56,543
Sorry I screwed this up.

322
00:23:57,166 --> 00:24:00,626
-You have nothing to apologize for.
-No, no, I do.

323
00:24:01,541 --> 00:24:05,331
You deserve my respect.
You deserve my time.

324
00:24:33,583 --> 00:24:34,423
There he is.

325
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,210
Word around town is
we're gonna forget football

326
00:24:37,291 --> 00:24:38,791
and take a baseball scholarship.

327
00:24:39,458 --> 00:24:40,288
Hmm?

328
00:24:40,875 --> 00:24:42,035
I think it's smart.

329
00:24:42,541 --> 00:24:45,541
Baseball is the more civilized game,
don't you think?

330
00:24:52,875 --> 00:24:54,245
Oh, my God.

331
00:24:54,333 --> 00:24:55,293
Oh, my word.

332
00:24:55,375 --> 00:24:58,165
She just takes your breath away,
doesn't she, Colin?

333
00:25:07,833 --> 00:25:11,753
If you have the most beautiful date,
bring her to the floor.

334
00:26:24,083 --> 00:26:28,463
Despite the media being saturated
with negative images of Black people,

335
00:26:29,041 --> 00:26:31,381
ideas about beauty are changing.

336
00:26:32,041 --> 00:26:35,251
In 2019, for the first time ever,

337
00:26:35,833 --> 00:26:39,173
all the world's major beauty queens
were Black.

338
00:26:46,958 --> 00:26:49,578
Maybe they didn't want us
to see our beauty,

339
00:26:49,666 --> 00:26:54,126
because they knew if we did,
if we controlled our own narrative,

340
00:26:54,208 --> 00:26:55,918
we'd be unstoppable.

341
00:27:03,541 --> 00:27:07,041
To me, we are the most
beautiful creatures in the world.

342
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:07,955
Black people.

343
00:27:08,041 --> 00:27:13,171
My job is to somehow
make them curious enough

344
00:27:13,250 --> 00:27:17,170
or persuade them, by hook or crook,

345
00:27:17,250 --> 00:27:20,670
to get more aware of themselves
and where they came from,

346
00:27:20,750 --> 00:27:23,330
and what they are into,
and what is already there,

347
00:27:23,416 --> 00:27:24,786
and just to bring it out.

348
00:27:24,875 --> 00:27:28,535
This is what compels me to compel them.

349
00:27:28,625 --> 00:27:31,455
And I will do it
by whatever means necessary.
