  Speaker 1: What we're dealing with, everything that's going on. How do
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you assess that?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Listen to me, I think since this Black History Month,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I'd rather take a different approach. What do you mean
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I would like to take the approach or how I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: felt as being black? Being black has been one of
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: my proudest things. I have never ever been ashamed of
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: being being black. I have worn this crown on my behalf,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: on my family's behalf, and whether you all believe it
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: or not, on behalf of those who look up to me,

  Speaker 2: I inspire, and I have thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed being black.

  Speaker 2: I love our survival skills. I love our ability to overcome,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to withstand, to deal with, to grapple, and in spite
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: of all that we've gone through that's been presented as
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: challenges in front of us.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: We steal the ones, man, We steal the ones.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: We are the creators of everything that is cool and
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the culture and around the world today. We are the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: creators of cool in the culture. We make all sports
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that we participate in more exciting.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: We are.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Some of the most talented people, as a matter of fact,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the most talented people in all of the entertainment.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And ain't nobody topping us. We are the determining factor,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: especially our young people.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: We are determining factor on what's cool to wear in
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: terms of dress. We are the determining factors of what's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: cool to do with your hair. Everybody emulates what we
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: do with our hair. Every Black woman that has been
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a Black woman, naturally from birth is the reason why
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: they chased that look so despiny. Black women have thick
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: lips already, no botox required. Black women are born with
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the round bottoms.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They born with it now.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Bb Elsen came famous, but famous why because everybody won't
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that look. White women won't the look, Latino women won't
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the looks. They had it mostly with us anyway, But
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you look at it, right, now man aging women. They
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: all trying to get that look. They all want plump lips.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Talked about us having.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: That for years, but chased it, chased it, had to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: have it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: What't happened to you found a way to get it
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: done too, so we still it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Music.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I was telling some young people at my camp one year,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I said, do you know that a lot of white
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: kids have black kids on their wall, Black men on
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: their wall, black women on their wall.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: They got to.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Beyond ss the basketball players, the football players. I ain't saying,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: ain't just some cold white ball players out there too,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that's on the walls. But you see white kids putting
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: black kids on the wall because you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: All don't really know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: How really powerful and important to the culture you are.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You're so important to the culture that they don't want
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: y'all to be in the culture no more.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You are so.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Important and relevant to our history that they don't want
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: y'all to know you are important to the history.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Oh and don't you think it's a twofold reason?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It's number one, say don't so they don't have to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: be reminded of what all they did to us. That's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the eradicating the civil rights movement getting rid of affirmative action,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: getting rid of history and schools, getting rid of plaques
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and stuff on walls, getting rid of the mensional slavery,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: so they don't have to be reminded. But the big
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: reason is so you don't know, so you don't know
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: how powerful you are, so you don't recognize or remember
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the contribution you made to the growth and development of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: this country. We're some bad people, man, oh man, we it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I've been so proud of us. Now listen to me.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Are there's some great non blacks? Of course it is.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: We work with them all the time, We associate with
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: them all the time, and we cool with that, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: we require no apologies for that. You know, our vice
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: president said, we want an America where white people don't
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: have to apologize for being white, and the whole crowd erupted.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Black people never asked you to apologize for being white.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: What we want you to do is get rid of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the bards.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Who keep the active like because they white, that that
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: enables them to some form of superiority.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And that's what we talk for all. Steve Harvey contests
