HOOPER X
(holds up comic)
Now my book, White-Hating Coon, doesnt have any of that bullshit. The heros name is Maleekwa, and hes a descendant of the black tribe that
established the first society on the
planet, while all you European motherf***ers were still hiding in caves and s**t, all terrified of the sun. Hes a strong role model that a young black reader can look up to, Cause Im here to tell you - the chickens are comin home to roost, yall: the black mans no longer gonna play the minstrel in the medium of comics and Sci-Fi/Fantasy! Were keeping it real, and were gonna get respect - by any means necessary!

During the speech, Holden and Banky enter and sit up front.
