Undercover Brother

I loved this movie, I thought it was fantastic. And Dave Chappelle (Conspiracy Brother), hilarious. Not everybody likes this movie, it's one of those either you hate it or love it movies, kinda like Zoolander (I loved that movie too). These are just some of the funny lines from the movie, hell, they always make me laugh.

Conspiracy Brother: Let me tell you something about the word "good," brotha. Good is an ancient anglo-saxon word, go-od, meanin the absence of color. I.E. it’s all good, which it is, OR Good Will Huntin', meanin, "I'm Huntin' Niggas!" So when you say good morning, what your telling me is "I'm gonna kill yo black ass, first thing in the mornin'!"

General Boutwell: I used to work at the Pentagon, but now I help get your chicken on.

Undercover Brother: You know what they say, behind every great black man...

Conspiracy Brother: is the police.

Undercover Brother: No.

Smart Brother: A bunch of slow white athletes?

Undercover Brother: No!

White She-Devil: A cute butt.

Undercover Brother: NO!

Lance: Probable cause.

Conspiracy Brother: That's Right! It's goin' to the streets. Hey y'all! It's revolution up in this Bitch! Set the alarm for Defcon 5! It's on, baby... it's on!

The Chief: Good work, White She-Devil. Oh, and you in too.

Conspiracy Brother: What the F*ck? Chief! I've never seen this bitch in my agent classes! I'm still paying the loans off, man! I sleep on a pissy mattress! I ain't got good food to eat! I borough money for my Weed! I quit! That's it. Y'all ain't got Conspiracy Brother Jones to kick around no more! Give me a pillow case... I'm joining the Klan!

Lance: I have stood on the sidelines of race relations long enough! I want to march down that field of oppression and kick that ball of bigotry right over the goalpost of intolerance!

The Chief: Son, you talk a lot of shit.

Lance: Yes, I do.

The Chief: But you down.

Undercover Brother: Are you telling me there really is a Man'?

Conspiracy Brother: What do you think? Things don't just happen by accident! Sometimes people - mostly *white* people - make things happen!

Undercover Brother: So the conspiracies we've believed for all these years are true? The NBA really did institute the three point shot to give white boys a chance?

Conspiracy Brother: Of course!

Undercover Brother: Then the entertainment industry really *is* out to get Spike Lee?

Conspiracy Brother: Come on man! Even Cher's won an Oscar! Cher!

Undercover Brother: Then O.J. really didn't do it?

[Everyone looks away and mumbles]

Undercover Brother: Wait a minute, how'd the white boy get a job at "the B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D."?

The Chief: Shit, what can I say? Affirmative action

Muhammed Ali

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief.

And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them - a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

Muhammed Ali

Che

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

Che Guevara

The Stolen Child

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

The Stolen Child
W.B. Yeats

Superman

Behold the Superman - man is something to be overcome.
What have you done to overcome him?

Friedrich Nietzsche

Puccini's Turandot

No one sleeps, no one sleeps...
Even you, o Princess,
In your cold room,
Watch the stars,
That tremble with love
And with hope.

But my secret is hidden within me;
My name no one shall know, no, no,
On your mouth I will speak it
When the light shines,
And my kiss will dissolve the silence
That makes you mine.

No one will know his name
And we must, alas, die.

Vanish, o night!
Set, stars!
At daybreak, I shall conquer!

Best Poem Ever

They said that it could not be done,
He said "Just let me try."
They said, "Other men have tried and failed,"
He answered, "But not I."
They said, "It is impossible,"
He said, "There's no such word."
He closed his mind, he closed his heart...
To everything he heard.

He said, "Within the heart of man,
There is a tiny seed.
It grows until it blossoms,
It's called the will to succeed.
Its roots are strength, its stem is hope,
Its petals inspiration,
Its thorns protect its strong green leaves,
With grim determination.

"Its stamens are its skills
Which help to shape each plan,
For there's nothing in the universe
Beyond the scope of man."
They thought that it could not be done,
Some even said they knew it,
But he faced up to what could not be done...
And he couldn't bloody do it!
