Example:
I’m dead.
You want to talk about my family and here I been dead to them for fifty years. Leave me alone. Don’t bother me. They
want no parts of me and me I don’t want no parts of them. Hurry up and get this interview over with. I want to watch
Dallas. See, my family, if you had a been part of them, you wouldn’t have time for this foolishness, your roots, so
to speak. You’d be better off watching the Three Stooges than to interview them, like to go interview my father, forget
it. He’d have a heart attack if he saw you. He’s dead now anyway, or if not he’s 150 years old.
- "The Color of Water" by James Mc Bride
