-->'''Philip:''' Let me tell you something, son. I grew up on the streets just like you. I encountered bigotry you could not imagine. Now, you have a nice poster of UsefulNotes/MalcolmX on your wall. I heard the brother speak. I read ''every'' word he wrote. Believe me; I ''know'' where I come from.
-->'''Will:''' ''(Genuinely surprised)'' You actually heard Malcolm speak, man?
-->'''Philip:''' That's right. So before you criticize somebody, you find out what he's all about.
