A Majority Of This Country

'champagne' And 'breathmint' Are The First Two Words All Oscar Winners Hear.

The Vast Majority Of The Guns In The U.s. Are Sold To White People Who Live In The Suburbs Or The Country. When We Fantasize About Being Mugged Or Home Invaded, What's The Image Of The Perpetrator In Our Heads? Is It The Freckled-face Kid From Down The Street - Or Is It Someone Who Is, If Not Black, At Least Poor?

White People Scare The Crap Out Of Me. I Have Never Been Attacked By A Black Person, Never Been Evicted By A Black Person, Never Had My Security Deposit Ripped Off By A Black Landlord, Never Had A Black Landlord, Never Been Pulled Over By A Black Cop, Never Been Sold A Lemon By A Black Car Salesman, Never Seen A Black Car Salesman, Never Had A Black Person Deny Me A Bank Loan, Never Had A Black Person Bury My Movie, And I've Never Heard A Black Person Say, 'we're Going To Eliminate Ten Thousand Jobs Here - Have A Nice Day!'

400 Obscenely Rich People, Most Of Whom Benefited In Some Way From The Multi-trillion Dollar Taxpayer "bailout" Of 2008, Now Have As Much Loot, Stock And Property As The Assets Of 155 Million Americans Combined.

Capitalism Would Have Never Let Me Be A Filmmaker, Living In Flint, Michigan With A High School Education. I Was Going To Have To Make That Happen Myself.
