Chris Quote #475

Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates Tattaglia

Chris: Is Dickerson the only Black player on the team?
Thurman: Oh, for God's sake! Now you want to get on the team, too? What do you want to be? A jockstrap? I guess you're just going to Black your way through life. Is that right? It didn't work for Jesse Jackson, and it's not going to work for you.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Actually, it worked for both of us.
Thurman: Let me tell you something. If you're going to be around me, you need to understand something. I don't like people.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] You forgot to say "Black."
Thurman: Because people are idiots. They don't read, they don't think, and they're lazy. If they can find an easier way to do something, they'll take it every time. White people didn't have slaves because they're racist.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Yes, they did.
Thurman: They did it because they're lazy.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Lazy racists!
Thurman: If they had gotten off their butts and picked their own damn cotton, they wouldn't have had to shoot Dr. King. He's dead because White people are lazy! And what do we do to honor him? We take a damn day off work. I'm sick of it! You want to get along with me, don't be lazy.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Or Black.
Thurman: 4:00. Be there. Every day. And don't be late. You understand? And you're not getting on this team.
Chris: Thanks for the job, Coach!
