It might be interesting to judge people today by the color
of their eyes. Would you like to try this?
The blue-eyed people are the better people in this room.
No! Oh yes they are.
You brown-eyed people are not to play with the blue-eyed people on the playground
because you are not as good as blue-eyed
people. The brown-eyed people in this room today are going to wear collars
so that we can tell from a distance
what color your eyes are.

...when we were down on the bottom, everything bad was happening to us.
Yesterday I told you that brown-eyed people aren't as good as blue-eyed people.
That wasn't true - brown-eyed people are better than blue-eyed people
(Later that day)
...the way they treated you, you felt like you didn't even wanna try to do anything.
I know what they felt like yesterday! I did too! How did they feel yesterday?
Down... Like a dog on a leash! Yeah!
It feels like you're chaining them up! Into prison!
Like you're chaining up into prison... and throwing the key away!
Should the color of some other person's eyes have anything to do with how you treat them? No!
Alright, then should the color of their skin? No!
Is that how you decide whether people are good or bad? No!
Is that what makes people good or bad? No!
Let's take these collars off! What would you like to do with them?
Throw them away! Go ahead!
Now you know a little bit more than you knew at the beginning of the week?
