    Why don't you just go back to Africa? Do you know what I said? If you don't like America, go back to your own stupid country. First of all, I'm American. Second of all, Africa is a continent made up of different countries. And third of all, I would like to visit it someday. I plan to see the whole world. Hey! Hey, get it back! Try and get it from me. Stop it! Don't forget this one. Ugh! Thank you, Lorraine. I'm telling my parents I don't want to come here anymore. I don't care if a school in my neighborhood doesn't have enough books for everybody. I hate it here. Lorraine. Ugly, ugly. Nice try. What? Play them all you want. You're not getting away with this. But I wasn't doing anything. I was just touching it. And you would have just stuffed it in your bag if I hadn't caught you. That's not true. Mommy, look, that colored girl was stealing. No, I wasn't. Mind your own business. I'm really sorry for the disturbance. I'll send someone else out to help you. I swear, I wasn't stealing. Is she gonna go to jail? I don't know and I don't care. Hurry up and pick something. I caught her in the act. It's not true. Mommy I promise I wasn going to steal anything Mr Shula Melody has been coming with me to do inventory for years She would never steal anything Until she had the opportunity There another girl looking at dresses Why didn she accuse her of stealing Because she wasn't stealing. Sir, my family depends on my income. Melody would never jeopardize my job. All right, all right, I've heard enough. We have the dress. No harm done as far as I'm concerned. That's how you see it, sir? It is. You, back out on the floor. Don't bring her here again. What are you doing? What do you mean? Exactly what I said. It's gotta be hard feeling like you don't belong here, because you're colored. Actually, I'm black, just like your wife. And I belong everywhere you do. Let's go. I really hope you can come over one day and play. Why the Pledge of Allegiance is a lie. It most certainly is not a lie. This country divides white people and black people all the time. Young lady, you will not continue to disrupt my class. Four black girls were blown up in a church in Alabama. One was as old as me, and now she's dead. She's dead because no one wanted her to eat at a lunch counter. I don't want to eat lunch with you either. Melody, Donald, Donald. One more word, you are going to be banging erasers after school for a week. Melody, take your seat. Go ahead. I dare you. He's filled with hate. You are behaving like a delinquent. And you're not doing anything to make this country a better place for everybody. Take your seat this instant or I will send you to the principal's office. The Pledge of Allegiance is a lie.
