It's no problem for a nigger to get his own people hooked on drugs, have the young girls on the corner turning five-dollar tricks. No problem for a nigger to shoot another nigger. No problem for a nigger to rob and steal from good, honest, hard-working black people. That's what they *want*. You're doing their work for them. What's so fucked up about that? You look at me and you call *me* an Uncle Tom? *You* are the Uncle Tom! You're a fucking joke. *You* are the real enemy of black people. White people look at me, it kills me that they see you, 'cause there's but one nigger in this here closet.

Sorley: It is not our job to straighten you out, it is your job. It is your responsibility.

Calhoun: You know you're the enemy, Yance. Oh, you don't know that, do you? I bet your black ass doesn't even know there's a war going on. I'm not talking about the war on crime and drugs, I'm talking about the war between black people and niggers. And that's what you are, Yance. You a motherfucking nigger. Let me tell you something. God... I *hate* niggers, but I love black people. Honest, hard-working, law-abiding black people. Niggers like you, you make me sick. It's no problem for a nigger to get his own people hooked on drugs, have the young girls on the corner turning five-dollar tricks. No problem for a nigger to shoot another nigger. No problem for a nigger to rob and steal from good, honest, hard-working black people. That's what they *want*. You're doing their work for them. What's so fucked up about that? You look at me and you call *me* an Uncle Tom? *You* are the Uncle Tom! You're a fucking joke. *You* are the real enemy of black people. White people look at me, it kills me that they see you, 'cause there's but one nigger in this here closet.
