Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, not naice sayd…so white potato-man, now smell me, now smell me – now smell I stink!
I vill nod move avai from dis seed, I am blak wuman, and am very prout of being black-fish-wuman.
A M&M production (Martin og Mads)

proper version:

I am minding my own bussisness, just sitting in the bus, looking out the window – thinking about the philosophical questions of life and what I should have for supper, when a white man approaching me. “That’s an awful looking coat” I thought, and the way he looked at the African Americans stirred me. And so I pondered: “What rights over us, the African people, to judge us the way he does – how low can a man steep, when he does have the ability to see through the veil of skin color. And then he said to me: “I would like to have that seat” – but I knew what to do, and I will not allow this discrimination to continue, so I will remain seated here.
