Quotes 

• Patrice Dumas : Are you down for the liberation of black people?

  Ron Stallworth : Power to the people.

  Patrice Dumas : All power to all the people.

  Ron Stallworth : That's right, Sista.

• Patrice Dumas : You jive turkey.

  Ron Stallworth : Who you callin' jive turkey? Jive?

  Patrice Dumas : I'm callin' *you* a jive turkey!

• Patrice Dumas : Black Power! The Black Student Union of Colorado College is honored to bring the vanguard of revolutionaries fighting for the rights of black people all over the world. Let's show some black love to the one and only, the Brotha man with the plan, who is sticking it to the man. Put your hands together, my people, for our Kwame Ture.

  Kwame Ture : Thank you Sista Patrice and the Black Student Union. I want to thank all of you, my beloved Sista's and Brotha's, for comin' out tonight. But, I'm here tonight to tell you that it is time for you to stop running away from being black. It is time for you to stop running away from being black! You're college students, right? You should think. It is time for you to understand that *you* as the growing intellectuals of this country, that *you* must define beauty for black people. Now that's Black Power!

• Ron Stallworth , Patrice Dumas : [singing]  It's too late to turn back now, I believe, I believe, I believe I'm falling in love...

• Patrice Dumas : When we dropped Brotha Kwame off at the airport he told me the Black Power movement needed strong Sista's like me to lead the fight against Capitalist oppression and the politicians and pigs who perpetuate it.

• Patrice Dumas : Are you down for the liberation of black people?

• Patrice Dumas : Cleopatra Jones is the one. It's about time we started seeing a strong Sista like that.

  Ron Stallworth : Well, Tamara Dobson did play a cop. Right?

  Patrice Dumas : That was a Black Exploitation film, which is a fantasy. Real life's not like that. Real life there's no Cleopatra Jones or Coffy.

  Ron Stallworth : You don't dig Pam Grier? She's fine as red wine and twice as mellow!

  Patrice Dumas : Pam Grier is doing her thing; but, in real life it's just Pigs killing black folks.

• Ron Stallworth : I got a serious question for you.

  Patrice Dumas : Oh, yeah? What?

  Ron Stallworth : Very serious.

  Patrice Dumas : Uh-huh?

  Ron Stallworth : Shaft or Superfly?

• Ron Stallworth : You know, they say, two afros that touch together, it's good luck.

  Patrice Dumas : Who said that?

  Ron Stallworth : I read it somewhere.

• Patrice Dumas : How often do you do that to Black People?

  Master Patrolman Andy Landers : Do what?

  Patrice Dumas : Pull us over for nothing. Harass us. Put your hands all over a woman in the guise of searching her. Call us everything but a child of God.

• Patrice Dumas : You can't change things from the inside. It's a Racist System.

  Ron Stallworth : Just give up, like that?

  Patrice Dumas : No! We fight for what black people really need: Black Liberation.

  Ron Stallworth : Right! Right! Can't you do that from the inside?

  Patrice Dumas : No! You can't! The white man won't give up his position in power without a struggle. What did Du Bois say about "Double Consciousness"? "Twoness". Being an American and a Negro? Two warring ideals in one dark body?

  Ron Stallworth : That's heavy, Patrice. I feel that. Like I'm two people all the time.

  Patrice Dumas : But you shouldn't have to be. We shouldn't have a war going on inside ourselves. Why should just: be black.

• Ron Stallworth : I'm a undercover detective for the Colorado Springs Police. It's my J-O-B. That's the truth.

  Patrice Dumas : House Niggas said they had a J-O-B too. You disgust me. My Brotha, you need to wake up!

• Patrice Dumas : Ron Stallworth are you for the Revolution and the liberation of Black People?
