American History X - Debate on Racial Injustice and Historical Context
Derek Vinyard: [[Rodney King]
If he had, though? Come on, think about it. If that fucking monkey had run some kid over, everybody would have a very different opinion of this whole matter! They'd be focused on ] and not on these officers. But instead, he just attacked a few cops. And so suddenly, it's Hands Across America for this fucking total son of a bitch. I mean, it blows my mind. We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help this struggling black man, cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. This stuff just perpetuates it and all this liberal nonsense. Everyone's looking the other way while our country rots from the inside out. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, in like; 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together?
Murray:
Well, Jews have been persecuted for over 5,000 years. Are you saying it's wrong to feel sensitive about anti-Semitism?
Stacey:
Oh, forget that. I'm with you. I'm with you all the way, baby. I'm so sick of these liberal hypocrites.
Davina:
Oh, here we go again. I love this part. This is great.
Stacey:
Well, look at the way how they scapegoated Chief Gates. You tell me to think they would've come down that hard on black Willie Williams? No way. That videotape was a set-up to get rid of Gates!
Davina: [To Doris, illuminatingly]
Can I please be excused?
Doris Vinyard:
Yes…
Derek Vinyard:
No! No, you cannot. Don't interrupt.
Stacey:
Excuse me, I was talking. I listened to you.
Derek Vinyard:
Don't interrupt her!
Davina:
Who the hell do you think you are?
Derek Vinyard:
She's right in the middle of making the point!
Davina: [Storms up out of her chair; This makes Derek very furious.]
Who the hell do you think you are?
Derek Vinyard: [Storms up too]
Hey! Davina, sit down. No, sit down!
Derek Vinyard: [Just as Davina tries to push him]
No, sit your ass down! No, sit down. Shut your mouth. No. Sit down, shut your mouth and give my girlfriend some respect!
Murray: [Annoyed]
Derek, what are you trying to prove?
Derek Vinyard: [Pulls Davina's hair to stop her from leaving]
Murray, stay out of it! Come here! Hey, what do you think you're going?
Doris Vinyard:
No!!!!
Murray: [As Derek grabs a piece of ham off the plate]
Derek, let her go! Derek, let her go!
Derek Vinyard: [Angrily shoves a piece of ham on Davina's mouth]
You need to learn some fucking manners, Davina! Shut your fucking mouth!
Danny Vinyard: [Davina chokes on the meat, and tries to muffle with no words.]
Derek! Stop!
Murray:
She can't breathe!
Doris Vinyard: [Pulls Derek's shoulder]
Let… her… GO!!!
Derek Vinyard:
Are you gonna apologize? Are you?!?
Davina:
You're a fucking asshole!
Doris Vinyard:
I hate you!
Murray:
What are you doing Derek? This is your family.
Derek Vinyard:
Right, my family, my family, so you know what? I don't give two shits about you or anybody else or what they think. You're not a part of it and you never will be.
Murray:
That has nothing to do with it!
Derek Vinyard: [Flashes swastika tattoo]
Oh it doesn't? You don't think I see what you're trying to do here? You think I'm gonna sit here and smile while some fucking kike tries to fuck my mother? It's never gonna happen Murray! Fucking forget it! Not on my watch, not while I'm still in this family. I will fucking cut your Shylock nose off and stick it up your ass before I let that happen. Coming here and poison my family's dinner with your Jewish, Nigger-loving, hippie bullshit. Fuck you! Fuck you! Yeah, walk out, asshole, fucking Kabbalah reading motherfucker. Get the fuck out of my house. DO YOU SEE THIS!? THAT MEANS NOT WELCOME!

American History X - Authority and Respect in Society
Derek Vinyard: [[Police|cops]
We, as society, grant ] a certain amount of authority to make those calls, because we acknowledge that their job is difficult and dangerous! Very few people respect that and respect that authority.
Davina: [[Ku Klux Klan|KKK]
Look who's talking about respect here, Mr. Junior ].
Derek Vinyard:
What? I didn't say I respect the laws. I acknowledge a cop's authority.
