I am the stone that the builder refused. I am the visual, the inspiration that
made ladies the blues. I'm the spark that makes your idea bright. The same
spark that lights the dark so that you can know your left from your right. I am
the ballot in your box, the bullet in the gun, the inner glow and let you know
to call your brother son. The story that just begun. The promise of what's to
come. And I'mma remain a soldier till the war is won.
Here's [Music]
something black people have known for a couple of hundred years. [ __ ] are
crazy. Now, black people don't like to talk about crazy [ __ ] in public, cuz
white people may be listening. But I'm afraid the secret might be out. Former
singer Whitney Houston appeared in court alongside husband Bobby Brown, who's
facing battery charges for allegedly beating his once respectable wife.
Hamilton, no. Bobby, don't hit me. See, we have this TV show and and it's our TV
show and I was trying to get a little bit more time on it and it's my show,
[ __ ] You know, I think they're on drugs.
Let's see what's on BET. Oh, lovely law. Shake it to the right. Shake it. Shake
it. Shake it. You boys cover your ass. Shake.
got to leave something to the imagination that's just showing too much
booty. And on our talking points this evening, it seems like the hip-hop
community is trading in their gold chains for gold showers. Hip-hop singer
R. Kelly is on trial again this week for sharing some of his liquid bling with
yet another underage girl. Some advice for Mr. Kelly. Next time, use a golden
shower curtain and keep your golden showers to yourself. What's wrong with a
man giving away a golden shower? Sounds like a nice gift to me.
What? Shoot. I wish somebody gave me a golden shower.
One, I like gold. Two, I like showers. Put it together. Hey, that sound like
the light. If you're good, Santa Claus might give
you a golden shower for Christmas. Christmas. My man Santa. And
controversial R&B superstar R. Kelly will be heading into court tomorrow for
the first day of his latest, highly anticipated trial for child pornography
and lewd acts with a local minor. Grandad, can you take us into the city
tomorrow to watch the R. Kelly trial? Hell no. But you can walk. It's 40
miles. All the money I spent on them damn Nikas. You better just do it.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Dubois is leading the prosecution of
Kelly and has a mountain of evidence against the famous R&B performer,
including a videotape allegedly showing Kelly urinating on a 14-year-old girl,
which is widely available for download at www.freetope.com.
I'm going to go uh check my email. Yeah, get your little short ass back here.
[Music] Hey, boys.
Hey there, Huie Riley. I couldn't help but notice your sign, and I hope you
boys aren't too upset about me having to prosecute Mr. Kelly. Hey, man. You do
what you got to do. Why R. Kelly? Huh? What did R. Kelly do to you? He's
accused of relieving himself on an underage girl on tape, which is against
the law. Okay. Okay. Okay. But let's examine this whole peeing thing. So I
can pee in the toilet and it's okay. But if I pee on a person, it's like not
okay. Well, yeah. Well, what if I'm peeing and he was in the bathroom and I
accidentally pee on Huie? Should I go to jail? What the hell would I be doing in
the bathroom while you're in the bathroom? Hold up. Hold up. Remember
when we used to sleep in the same bed when we was littleer? From time to time,
I'd have a little accident. You still do? Shut up. So, Mr. Dubis, Mr. I want
to lock [ __ ] up for peeing. What's the statute of limitations on bedwedding?
Why not prosecute me and R. Kelly at the same time? Huh? Now, Riley, no one's
going to prosecute you for bedwedding. And you shouldn't. It's a natural bodily
function. And now every [ __ ] in the world going to be scared to pee. I may
never pee again. Riley, it was a little girl. Oh, I seen that girl. She ain't
little. I'm little. Yes. Gary comb is little. Yes. Mini me is little. Very.
And to the best of my knowledge, we all manage to avoid getting peed on so far.
But what about the victim? Oh, yes. The victim. At what point does personal
responsibility become a factor in this equation? I don't think that's I see
piss coming. I move. She saw piss coming. She stayed. Yes, she did. And
why should I have to miss out on the next R Kelly album just for that?
Man, you just got beat by an 8-year-old. And if R. Kelly goes to jail, I'll piss
on your cat. [Music]
I tell you, it sure is beautiful out here. White folks sure know how to make
some nice foliage. Oh, come on, Ruckus. You can't give the white man credit for
the trees. Where them two little nappyheaded grandkids are? Ah, they went
into the city to watch the trial of that singer. Oh, right, right. That black
some [ __ ] that's supposed to have had urinal relations with that underage
color girl. Didn't Jerry Lee Lewis marry a 14-year-old baby. You can't compare a
chocolate monkey like Ara Kelly to Jerry Lee Louie. Jerry Lee Lewis is the king
of rock and roll. Great ball of fire. Besides, that situation was different.
That was family. We're here at the R. Kelly trial where
there are a handful of angry protesters making their voices heard. These are
scholars, activists, pillars of the Africanamean community and they are
outraged. And we're just going to head over here to the R. Kelly supporters
where it's quite the festive event. And you are now why did you come out here to
support R. Kelly? I say good. And what about those protesters over there who
say he's crossed the line? Man, [ __ ] them literate ass upy [ __ ]
All they talk about is reading and eating right. Nobody want to hear all
that [ __ ] If I want to get high blood pressure, then [ __ ] get the carrot
away from me. If I want to get high blood pressure, then damn it, that's my
business. Let's talk to another R. Kelly supporter. You there, Urban Youth. Why
do you think R. Kelly is innocent? If I started peeing on you right now, would
you A smile and ask for more or b move the hell out the way? But before you
answer that, let me ask America, has pee ever really hurt anybody? And I want to
give a big shout out to my Harvey Diva. What's up? Okay, that's enough.
Get off me. Get off me, Huie. Free Kelly. Hey yo yo yo, look. The R Kelly
haters are pushing that little boy. We are given
we talking about
I knew it would be just a matter of time before violence broke out. It's
pandemonium here in the R. Kelly trials. Oh the humanity.
[Music] Mr. Callie, Mr. Cali, do you have a
statement? This is truly an example of black people sticking together. In the
words of Sister Soldier, an injustice anywhere is an injustice anywhere. Amen.
What did OJ Simpson say to Kobe after his case was over? What's that? Don't
let this whole trial thing turn you off to white women.
That's funny on so many levels. Lord, I just wish they would have let me on that
jury. Boy, thank God for the white man's code of law. It's only way to keep these
crazy [ __ ] under control. Well, that and pepper spray. You know, I
said on the jury one time. Really? Oh, yeah. It was in 1957 back in Tennessee.
Now, the defendant was accused of shooting three little white women with a
Winchester rifle from about 50 yards away. See, now he thought he was going
to get off with that old I'm blind excuse, but oh boy, he had another thing
coming. The jury will now go off and deliberate on guilty. That [ __ ] is
guilty. Sir, settle down. You have to go
deliberate. I don't need to deliberate. Hang that [ __ ] now. I got the rope
right here. Kang me.
Lady Liberty is on our side. Justice will prevail. The judge and jury will do
the right thing. I'm telling you, Hueie, it's an openandsh case. Mr. Dubois, are
you fully aware of the extent to which [ __ ] love R. Kelly?
Oh, Hueie, it's under control. Watch me work.
[Music] And so, ladies and gentlemen, not only
will we prove it as Mr. Kelly in the video. We will prove that the victim was
14 at the time the video was shot. Thank you, Mr. Dubois. And now we'll have the
opening statement for the defense. The ancient Greeks, the architects of
Western civilization, would regularly indulge in sexual
activities with children. Were they perverts? In Puritan America, the
forefathers of this great land would take wives who were 12 or 13 years old,
much younger than the alleged victim. Were they sickos? In Tokyo, you can buy
teenage girls panties and vending machines. Do we call them
disgusting? Of course not. What do all those things
have to do with Robert Kelly? Nothing. Let's get to the point. Now, some people
see this so-called mountain of evidence, these videotapes,
photographs, eyewitnesses,
and DNA, and see a guilty man. But some of us can
see that mountain of so-called evidence for what it really is,
racism. Oh, he said it right there.
Which one was the one that got caught with that homely little white gal? Kobe.
Right now I know exactly what happened to Kobe. Kobe caught that white fever.
White fever get in your blood, man. It'll make you crazy. And you know they
got them short little skates nowadays. And that uh what what they call them?
The the tongues. Thongs. Yeah. Right. They got the thongs all up the booty
crack and they got that sweet white nectar. Oh Lord have mercy. And after
that it's over. You wake up and you don't even know what you done. Just a
pool of sweat around your ankles and a deep sense of satisfaction.
Give me a minute. Robert, you look like you need to take five.
Mhm. Yeah, sure. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present to you the R. Kelly
tape. I warn you the Lord.
Yeah. [Music]
Oh my Oh my Oh no, he did.
Objection. We can't even see his face clearly. Oh no.
Oh man, you got freckles and everything. That proves nothing.
Hello. Yes, this is Robert Kelly. Yes, the singer. You want my social security
number? Sure. It's 916347865. Okay. God bless.
Well, um, [Music]
now young lady, I know this might be hard to talk about. No, it's cool. How
old were you when you were seeing Mr. Kelly? 14 and a quarter. Wow, that's a
great age, isn't it? Still learning so much about the world. Whatever, I guess.
Could you describe the events leading up to the shooting of the video? Yeah. He
asked if he could pee on me and I said, "For sure." I mean, it's R. Kelly, the
pi piper of R&B. I've been peed on by guys that don't even have record deals.
[ __ ] If I didn't want to get peed on, I just move out the way. I told you.
Order. Would you describe yourself as an Africanamean woman? [ __ ] you blind?
No, I'm not. So, it's safe to say that R. Kelly is sexually attracted to black
women, right? Mhm. Objection, relevance. Your honor, I'm
trying to establish to the court that my client is a proud black man who loves
his black sisters, unlike district attorney Dubois,
who's married to a white woman. [Music]
Lord, now I've listened to your black ass talk
all day about how much you can't stand black folks. Ain't two of them in the
history of the world that's worth a scrub for. Oh, how much you love white
folks? Best thing the good lord ever did for the planet Earth. Ruckers, you black
as Ace of Spades, man. I don't see the need for you to go and insult the man
after a game of checkers. We've been reminiscing all day, looking in each
other's eyes, acting like we like each other. Now you got to go ahead and
remind me of my amen. That's right. You heard the vitiligo.
Shoot. Well, I got re vitiligo. Every year my skin just seem to get blacker
and darker and blacker and then more darker. Huh. It's the opposite of what
Michael Jackson got. Lucky bastard. Ruckers. How could you possibly love
white people so much? It's easy. Have you ever looked at them? White men just
a joy to be around. They smell like lemon juice and pledge furniture
cleaner. And look at them. They gave us discipline, jobs, puts in our life, took
us out the jungle. And what we do to show our appreciation? We march up and
down the street. We vote. Carry on in grace.
Now, how about this game, [ __ ]
I'm going to show you something they don't want you to see. Something that
will blow this case wide open. This is our Kelly's NAACP Image Award
certificate of nomination. Hey man, you got his card. He's good.
Did you wash your hands? You think they nominate just anyone for this award? I
got one. You know why he wants to put R. Kelly in jail? Because he's afraid of R.
Kelly. Objection. Would you be quiet? I think he's afraid.
I think the whole system is afraid of R. Kelly. Your honor, please. If you don't
shut up. They're afraid because they see the power for good that this man wields
through his music. Yes, they do. They don't want R. Kelly to be free because
they don't want you to be free. They don't want me to be free. Maybe R. Kelly
did urinate on this woman. But America urinated on R. Kelly. Oh,
[Applause] and if you let them put this man in
jail, America will urinate on each and every one of you.
Brother, please people, you saw the tape. The girl testified she was
underage. You You're not allowed to do that to a
little girl. We have a videotape. Go tell that to your white [ __ ] Mhm.
But the girl was prosecution rests.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, all that needs to be said is this.
[Applause] [Music]
[Applause] [Music]
Just like you. [Music]
Hey, what the hell is wrong with you people?
Every famous [ __ ] that gets arrested is nothing else in Mandela. Yes, the
government conspires to put a lot of innocent black men in jail on facious
charges. But R. Kelly is not one of those men. We all know the [ __ ] can
sing, but what happened to standards? What happened to bare minimums? You a
fan of Kelly? You want to help R. Kelly, then get some counseling for R. Kelly.
Introduce him to some older women. Hide his camcorder. But don't pretend like
the man is a hero. And stop the damn dancing. Act like you
got some goddamn sense, people. Damn. Don't playing around here.
Hey, you with the a give it a rest. Beat it. Put the music back on.
[Applause] [Music]
[Applause] I did battle with ignorance today. And
ignorance one. I admit that I'm often vexed at the
behavior of my own people. Yeah, vexed is a good word.
I told you about messing with them white women.
You do what you can to help black folks and they make you wonder why you even
bother. Uh-huh. But they're our people and we
got to love them regardless. [Music]
[Applause] [Music]
[Applause] [Music]
One thing for sure though, can't blame this one on the white man. What am I
saying? Of course I can. [Music]
