The premise
Here’s the bit.
A Channel 17 reporter interviews the New Black Panther Party on the street, and spokesman Reggie Lee Quivers launches into a rolling speech about so-called post-racial harmony, being treated as less than second-class citizens and the four hundred years America has had to get things right. He keeps building toward a rally cry while a row of silent, stone-faced comrades stands behind him, and one wide-eyed member keeps peeking over his shoulder. When the reporter finally invites that member to add something, he meekly declines, and the squad answers by stomping him flat on the pavement.

We're not even second-class citizens. We third-class. Stand up, Black America, and declare to white America that we aren't going to take this no more. Okay,
