Uppity: The Willy T. Ribbs Story altyazı (750770)

1
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,602
My grandfather

2
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,646
told me,

3
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:25,608
you must be better.

4
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:26,776
You must be,

5
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:28,862
not good, not average...

6
00:00:32,282 --> 00:00:34,617
You must be better than the best.

7
00:00:38,496 --> 00:00:41,708
He made it clear.
It wasn't a matter of

8
00:00:41,791 --> 00:00:43,710
whether you want to succeed or not.

9
00:00:45,211 --> 00:00:46,463
You're going to.

10
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:55,263
There was no black driver
at that time.

11
00:00:58,475 --> 00:01:00,226
There was death threats.

12
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:06,399
If this nigger races in this race,

13
00:01:06,483 --> 00:01:08,777
he not might not leave alive.

14
00:01:12,238 --> 00:01:15,909
They called me Uppity.
Uppity nigger.

15
00:01:16,493 --> 00:01:17,911
And I loved it.

16
00:01:26,211 --> 00:01:27,629
My grandfather,

17
00:01:27,712 --> 00:01:32,592
he was the only black plumbing contractor
in the city of San Jose.

18
00:01:33,176 --> 00:01:36,679
His business was pretty much all white,

19
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:40,517
and he knew he had to be
better than his competitors,

20
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,435
and he drilled that in us.

21
00:01:44,979 --> 00:01:47,982
That was, to me, very important.

22
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:50,235
He started in 1927.

23
00:01:50,985 --> 00:01:55,949
By 1960s he was doing so well
that he bought a ranch

24
00:01:56,449 --> 00:02:00,286
