Langston Whitfield:
[on the phone]
Page 7, Tony? The bottom of page fucking 7? Remember, you're the one who sent me over here. At least show me the respect of not burying what I write in the back of the goddamn paper. Too re - too remote? Since when is police brutality too remote from the lives of the American people? Oh, I'm sorry, Tony, I must be losing my mind. How can it be news when the victims are black?

The bottom
of page fucking seven?
00:00:02.902 --> 00:00:05.154
Remember, you're the one
who sent me over here.
00:00:05.237 --> 00:00:07.257
At least show me the respect
of not burying what I write
00:00:07.281 --> 00:00:09.575
in the back of the goddamn paper.
00:00:09.658 --> 00:00:13.329
Too re...? Too remote?
00:00:13.412 --> 00:00:16.572
Since when is police brutality too remote
from the lives of the American people?
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.961
Oh, I'm sorry, Tony.
I must be losing my mind.
00:00:21.002 --> 00:00:23.339
How can it be news
when the victims are black?
00:00:24.882 --> 00:00:27.999
Goddamn it.
00:00:28.052 --> 00:00:31.055
Nobody gives a shit, Dumi.
00:00:31.889 --> 00:00:34.809
As long as it's black folk getting killed, nobody gives a shit.
00:00:34.892 --> 00:00:38.854
It's not that simple, man.
It's not always black-and-white.
00:00:38.938 --> 00:00:42.525
Sometimes it's gray.
Sometimes it's fucking gray.
00:00:42.608 --> 00:00:45.569
- Sometimes it's fucking grey?
- Hey, Langston.
00:00:45.653 --> 00:00:47.279
I'm only joking.
00:00:47.363 --> 00:00:49.099
It's just the beer talking, okay?
We cool?
00:00:50.998 --> 00:00:51.784
Hey, Kenny. Hey, Anna!
00:00:51.867 --> 00:00:53.828
Let's show these people how to dance.
00:00:53.911 --> 00:00:56.997
I'd like to see that.
00:00:56.121 --> 00:00:58.001
Hey, man, coming
for something to eat?
00:00:58.165 --> 00:00:59.075
A little later, thanks.
