on your date and what his wife will run a store and no because all bratton often mocked and while they will be out of work in the field and those she runs his wife would run the store or going to determine any you know we're back on in the week that i did not to come even though all sit around talk and do a close up so well with a level nonviolent well because there's a state you know it i was on real journalism and years away whipple and nine and when i was eleven that innocent when a long time i didn't know like a personal contact with isis at the anti natal which all people's will and not directly with me because i was getting into when i want to get you know not only but the same level of us are you know wondering why i should be affordable which is still less than the money so once we lose one was less prosperous and they specialize in the
family pictures that there was a kind of typical of stores that in itself was it was it was an especially well to name one special vehicles waterson when you listen to them all oh they all just wanted to like you know leaning on as she went all down how they are suffering in fountain let me mr wilson inside how we'll sing on gestational something like that then you see a different world while it was as though the like it to me is like man you know what the western movies and pay you know when you sit back and you look in you see that two three stone law or how they lived together in the city to send out around from that apartment opening the summit will you heard the rumor the woman was vile crimes like humans than what was in the rural well yes idea because you would be in this to be one more than the story and unnecessarily as many as get through you'd give him his
bio is on a more ms bronner seems to be the one that runs through political and though she was she was great you know i mean i decided ok you know so will issues big ships a pretty nice in of the next shoe and all good will what was money like you know i've never been a reason it was that a big turnout was it was like when the highway was it during a lot of empty stores was no one to say to declare that we're talking about now it was on it was on side of the highway and they'll do so you have never knows how the longest additional and our bipartisan that two strong was in and they said that there was in the local cotton
gin out of the house when he was still in the old trucks and buy all along the basement those bills about it money there was a whole bunch of different things at that that the black people couldn't do you know what we are as quite a concern you know i mean like you just got to get our history of letters in common and not let the minute that you know there's no thanks what is you know what was what were the kind of things are you yes post do we want the world do in the time i was gone and this is a bit of the tableau ten i knew first of all that a win for the city is unknown two more ought to two into one person you know all you had to say yes sir no sir and no basically our bells all that they can go out with me
because i was i went oh no to believe that this one out and out and they'll just splitting with with some white you should know it then but then too it was also thought we were going to play and you know we played a while you know and then only vaguely when we go away and basically that was it seems like you know i look at the bed then some ways you know the south in this city has had its own rules also sent a separate country although the us house and it's true because so we knew the lesson the new orleans saints in unison those unknown moment and though you had to like have they say stay in place you know you wouldn't just go out there in woods and while will bring thousands of different legal gray was and i can see the eye they did know that you know you won't do it but the main song saw those whites more practical implications is like black sleep and that they all day long there was no there was nobody
will an iphone as hank long that you know you and that's why we have it doesn't know we we've been trying to to know they do understand their animal probably because i will be around them with no with some i come from the north but it would they would they have known rules was it was it was it's know it all a mass of the halal relatives from the south they would know that it wasn't that there was this prejudice as the wall was either time an innovative in prison because i don't understand it you know i don't assume we'll life because i've been the warriors are people born leaders our soul it was just that was just colonize them and weapons when they were known that that was what it was for the same and how she did distance and an end in august <unk> two articles that if you allow a phase and they did and didn't know the names watching and when he was on he was on the nationals want to make this week
the emmett till will the spirit of that there's the humorous this farm well be the day that neither video only a local what will move right house and open and taking units out the executive somewhere down round ones deadline and the yamaha postulated that they just a riddle in and do a lot of stuff i mean there's really only i will play inside iran and ice all muscle mountain shook combat at all we called topple he had a terrible week and i heard somebody i don't you know so i identified in those one man in the house about the one moment that ideas dean
was a long struggle were in arizona and it is single day so will we let alone cause you know you just honest with the us the displays and i don't mean you know we didn't think about no death and then all about probably later we found out that they'll want to all to launch two in it so ahrens house and taking him out and with the idea to solve it there to go to and my mother told me the snow should do now because you don't tell an hour troubled people around us and no in a free market you know some of my say well people on your heritage in the one hundred and the lion and i might you know been called always solves to do not watch it and that's what it but on this this is a sudden i found out as evelyn was and to know that i'm hurting you i
dig it why is that well i would say no because you know infuse it was like this and the south you know if not she was afraid that if i was called to testify then me about my being in that and achieve common one that they will have done something to solve was those intellectual households you know oh because it's so only thing that is going to call the tsunami the involvement of that because in the essay she was quote fear for my life there's always some some tape and in interviewing people you know and at that time during the trial and ask them but they're asked him why people but people on the street what do you think in why people
like intellect and let's let the widening go into behaving a little slighted for it an activist for black black guys and of the people on the street about you on the street all say enough to didn't announce as it is gone you know what you think in the butt was no sir i'm most of asia would be don't think that the five men get it and it's in our own no sir no sir call your think of these days where people get out almost a n wilson was going on there what why are why do i have to say what they've been well below wasn't talk about the devastated the four dollars and the receipt just goes as unstable for what happens is we get at the phone and we might take out which is in the fall so that was the edge over so so why black people speak one by penguin speaking out about and the chill ok so better to return because they knew that they could happen to
them you know it had it dialed the first hand that out that i was that holmes to all sit with his number but i have heard it allows him about data was having him around in there you know like humans did economists and opens common or didn't you know he was chased them out of town and you know so they are with them the blacks fear for their lives of an ally the course it will be the last one for real you know all in one ally all one on ebay and though some of whom you know didn't believe in what would be a doll when marlon address a job so therefore they will be down to the world war that they voted on the city and he'd get way so that a lot of the white people that hey sir i'm doing great hello anthony
and i understand that a lot of one liners weren't in a lion song waterloo was shot in the community was a lot of them a nominal black ish than a sound you also write that in a syllabus it had been a little waterfall one man two to like to do something you know watch out because they were just about do with them when they don't do you write it all i can you say that eyewitnesses but i was toothless ordinance about old monologue that you know this is a year around there and though he had done something to me and the most to me and they went no blood bath and baltimore chicago and some
shale and to really question about that that that have to do with what would have to look at some of new england asking what he wanted things that they know that willie reed who testified at the trial say day he saw some black people on the truck you know with mylan and brian and they were cleaning up after it and you know i'm not from mississippi you know and make me understand you know flying back he would be involved in that as you know just disappeared in testify while that the rebels as well the reason i think but when scientists all blacks or the vatican's oh we'll hear about the literal amr i was given the names of all the back into a giant the land that was called and video they used to work for four for
four brass knew and they knew that if they had actually given barr who know the most recently visited that putin and we don't really don't know what role they played the bike waving we know that it was a product they want to come to the house and i don't know where all of the inner walls sonja sohn an unwitting blacks was nineteen but while a baby ooh you know the idea again it also why you know will go to any those a certain level of fear in you make that you made me understand that that that that was you know that the people would prefer that they had to i guess of the view of a white man told to help clean up the book you know when i told them that amount of an actor why oh they don't deserve this when
because i had a thousand and eight and the way it was when you know why you know was in the fear in intimate big intimidation you know not helpful you know me understand why you know all day moving ahead too will to calls and only on a comet they're looking at you from the ticket you have an alibi fan of the local sentiment inside the very thing that that even with intel by two to the wonderful so i'm assuming that the reason that they were given it was southern and you know they were so they're so old those days that i can say on the subject
