Writer-director Kevin Smith (Clerks) makes a huge leap in sophistication with this strong story about a comic-book artist (Ben Affleck) who falls in love with a lesbian (Joey Lauren Adams) and actually gets his wish that she love him, too. Their rel… more »



Hooper:
For years in this industry, whenever an African American character, hero or villain, was introduced - usually by white artists and writers - they got slapped with racist names that singled them out as Negroes. Now, my book, "White-Hating Coon," don't have none of that bullshit. The hero's name is Maleekwa, and he's descended from the black tribe that established the first society on the planet, while all you European motherfuckers were hiding out in caves and sh*t, all terrified of the sun. He's a strong role model that a young black reader can look up to. Cause I'm here to tell you, the chickens is coming home to roost, y'all. The black man's no longer gonna play the minstrel in the realm of comics and sci-fi fantasy. We keepin' it real, and we gonna get respect by any means necessary.

Holden:
Ah, come on, that's a bunch of horse sh*t! Lando Calrissian was a black guy. You know, and he got to fly the Millennium Falcon, what's the matter with you?

Hooper:
Who said that?

Holden:
I did! Lando Calrissian is a strong role-model in the realm of science fiction/fantasy.

Hooper:
F*** Lando Calrissian! Uncle-Tom n*gger! Some white boy's always gotta bring up the "Holy Trilogy". But those movies is all about how the white man keeps the brotha man down, even in a galaxy far far away. Check this sh*t. You got cracker farm boy, Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!

Banky:
What's a "Nubian"?

Hooper:
Shut the f*** up! Now, Vader, he's a spiritual brother, down with the Force and all that good sh*t. Then this cracker, Skywalker, gets his hands on a lightsaber and the boy decides he's gonna run the f***ing universe; gets a whole clan of whites together and they go and bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star. Now, what the f*** do you call that?

Banky:
Intergalactic Civil War?

Hooper:
Gentrification! They gon' drive out the black element to make the galaxy quote, unquote, "safe for white folks." And Jedi is the most insulting installment! Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!

Banky:
Well isn't that true? [Hooper pulls out a gun and shoots Banky]
