Jesus Plays the Race Card
Black guy: Here, this is for you, man, 'cause you look like Jesus.
Homeless guy: I thought Jesus was black!
Black guy, coming back: For that, my man, you get a dollar.
--55th & Broadway
We Probably Shouldn't Depend on White Superheroes
Black guy: Yeah, Superman -- he hangs out around 42nd Street. He might go uptown every once in a while, but you never see his ass in Brooklyn. That's ridiculous -- Superman can not be killed by bullets, and he still won't come to Brooklyn.
Black lady: You're right. What about Batman?
Black guy: Oh, he probably has to come through Brooklyn -- you know, that brother lives out on Long Island.
Black lady: He probably comes through Brooklyn, but you know he's not getting out of that Batmobile.
Black guy: I'm sure he's damn careful when he stops, too. Those are some ballin' rims he's got on that whip. If he ever parked, them shits would definitely get stolen!
