Randall : [after Kyle changes seat] I do mind that you're not man enough to admit you don't love me!
Junior, aka 'Smooth' : [bus Passengers sarcastic reaction] Cool, Dad. We're goin' to the Million Man March with a bunch of homos.
Khalid : Sissy.
Flip : Tell me I just didn't hear what I think I heard.
Xavier : What?
Flip : He said, "You're not man enough to admit that you love me" to him.
Xavier : So?
Flip : So? There are faggots on the bus!
Xavier : Gays don't have a role in the black community?
Flip : I'm not talking about the black community, I'm talking about the faggots we got on the bus!
Xavier : How else are they supposed to get to the March?
Mike : Skip.

Xavier : You're on a bus - with 20 black men, how do you feel?
Rick : Black men. White men. All the same to me. I like to think of myself as color blind.
Xavier : Color blind. Okay, so you didn't notice, at all, that everyone on this bus is black except you. Men of African ancestry, so-called black men, decedents of slaves.
Rick : Well, we're all brothers under the skin, right?
Randall : Now we're brothers, just because you're on a black bus.
Rick : Hey, look, I never wore a white sheet over my head, okay. I'm Jewish.
Randall : God forbid we should think a Jewish person could be a bigot.
Xavier : My parents were in the civil rights movement. They had black people at our house all the time.
Randall : Are you getting this, Xavier? They actually had black people at their house.

Flip : Just because I like pussy - I like the way it feels, I like the way it smells, and on occasion, I like the way it taste - don't make me insecure. Can you even say the word? Pussy.
Randall : I don't have to say it. I'm looking at one.
Flip : Come on. Pussy. Pu-pu-ssy. Pussy.
Randall : You want to back off.
Flip : Come on, faggot. Pussy.

Randall : As far as I'm concerned, only two things came out of the civil rights movement anyway. One, black people got a few crumbs. And, two, condescending white people had a right to say that they struggled with us. The only difference is our struggle didn't end with the March on Washington. We're still catching hell.
Rick : I think my people know a little bit about catching hell, alright. At least my parents did their part.
Randall : They had a part to do what? To make a difference to appear liberal?
Rick : Jewish people made a difference in the civil rights movement.
Randall : As as they got what they wanted, they abandoned it.
Rick : You know, I don't see black people marching for Jews, Hispanics, or Asians, for that matter. I mean, what do you expect white people to solve all your problems?
Randall : Some of them aren't marching for us either. And we didn't create our problems. White people created our problems. What - do you think we asked for slavery?
Rick : We ask for the holocaust? Six million Jews died. Doesn't mean we're going to forget Nazis, Arabs, black anti-semites.
Randall : What a minute, do you know how many black people died in the slave trade? Over sixty million.
Randall : I didn't kill any one of them. Nor did my parents. Don't blame us for that.
Rick : Yeah, it's our fault. And after 400 some odd years of slavery and oppression, with feet on our necks, we're just supposed to fix everything ourselves, right.
