Adult Chris: [v.o.] While I was hiding in the closet, the only thing I could think about was getting the hell out of there and getting home. The biggest difference between being in a Black neighborhood and a White neighborhood is the Black guys'll beat you up and rob you. The White guys'll just beat you up. Even though I was scared, I figured the best way to get through this was to act like I belonged.
["Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees plays as Chris confidently strolls down the sidewalk. As he walks by a group of Italian Americans, they shout out to him and gather behind him]
Men: Get out of here. Hey! Yeah, what have we got here, huh? What are you doing, huh? Ah, forget about it, little watermelon. Keep walking! You got to keep right.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Where do they come up with this stuff?
Men: No fried chicken around here. He's right! Get on out of here. Watch your back. Go back to your Black neighborhood, kid.
