Pretty Willie Quotes in The Spook Who Sat by the Door (1973)

[after being told he and the other light-skinned gang members are to rob a bank]

Pretty Willie: All the yellow nigga's, right?

[His anger coming to a slow boil]

Pretty Willie: Look, man, I am TIRED of that! I am not passing! I am BLACK! Do you hear me, man? Do you understand? I am BLACK! I am a NIGGA', you understand me? I was BORN Black, I -LIVE- Black, and I'm gonna die, prob'ly -BECAUSE- I'm Black, because some Cracker that -KNOWS- I'm Black, better than -YOU-, Nigga', is prob'ly gonna put a BULLET in the back of my head!
