And It Was Originally Giving the Finger

Black guy #1: You know that statue, right? You know, the British... The British gaved the Statue of Liberty to New York. The British gaved the statue to America. To commemorate the Civil War. But they don't tell you that. They don't talk about that.
Black guy #2: Yep.
Black guy #1: And you know it was black, when the statue got here. It was black. And it had chains 'round it.
Black guy #2: Yep.
