Mildred: You know what I was thinking about
today? I was thinking about those street
gangs they have down in Los Angeles the Crips and Bloods. And I was thinking about those laws they
came up with in the 1980s I think it was to combat those street gangs, those Crips
and those Bloods. And if I remember rightly
the gist of what those new laws was saying was if you join one of these gangs
and you run with them and down the block one night unbeknownst to you one of your
fellow Crips or your fellow Bloods shoot up a place or stab a guy, well then
even though you may not know nothing about it and even though you may have just
been standing on the street corner minding your own business, what these new
laws said was, you're still culpable. You're
still culpable by the very act of having joined those Crips and Bloods in the
first place.
Which got me thinking,
father, that whole type of situation is kind of like you church boys ain’t it. You got your colors, you got your club house,
your for want of a better word a gang. And
if you're upstairs smoking a pipe and reading your Bible while one of your
fellow gang members is downstairs fucking an altar boy, well, father, just like
those Crips and just like those Bloods, you're culpable, because you joined the
gang, man. I don't care if you never did
shit and you never saw shit and you never heard shit, you joined the gang, you're
culpable. And when a person is culpable
to altar boy fucking or any kind of boy fucking, [or child fucking] because I
know you guys didn't really narrow that down, then you kind of forfeit the right
to come into my house and say anything about me or my life or my daughter or my billboards. So why don’t you just finish up your tea, there,
father and get the fuck out of my kitchen.
