[stuartymack]

"you see this white students.... TURN ON THEM, MURDER THEM BEFORE THEY CAN TURN ON US"

[vidfreakk]

1 hour later* WTF IS THIS SHIT ON PAPAR. I SHOULDVE STUDIED'

[obatron1]

Another oscar snub.

[Robbanks40888]

YOU SMOKE CRACK DON'T CHA????????? IT KILLS YOUR BRAIN CELLS SON...IT KILLS YOUR BRAIN CELLS!!

[favre16]

Great actor, he's one of the best!

[CheesyPumbah]

yay

[TheADzioba]

Why Morgan Freeman isn't the President in real life is beyond me. I mean, he already has the experience thanks to Deep Impact and this movie.

[Suamarcos]

After watching this I want to go find a test to take..

[MrAlexandreShark]

Morgan Freeman is the epitome of wisdom.

[megamanj2004X]

15 people who didn't believe in this motivational speech got made into liars.

[joeveenstra90]

I've been to Eastside High recently..I think they need Morgan Freeman to come back and give the speech again.

[woodysd1]

He should have dropped the mic at the end.

[JesseandtheRevelator]

24:00 Bottom right-hand corner.  It's John Mayer!

[MaestosoJack]

This movie deserved more than 2 1/2 stars

[fallbackbroham]

morgan freeman,didn't get an oscar for this?!

[amerrittification]

Goddamn Morgan Freeman!!!!

[stopevil]

america needs joe clark

[evilfreethinker]

You could never get away with this today in a public school. This just shows that the greatness of America has been lost to focus groups, micro management and political correctness. Leaders are no longer able to lead. This speech embodies the American spirit, the un orthodox and originality that made America great. I never thought a time would come when I'd say, "Wow remember when America was great?" Now it is a shadowy reflection of its self. Will we ever get the grit and can do spirit back?

[RFWUSA]

a masterpiece of film

[linacteixeira]

wonderful movie. I Love Morgan Freeman . I believe that education is not the only solution , but is a loyal base to a more fair life.

[heidy862]

they should give that speech in eastside high school again they are doing bad luckily this year they are improving but last year ? it was really bad.

[bigbooda011]

Lol I would not wanna play tha ghost

[t3wpsz]

oh yeah my dads the man im  dauter

[stoerewilly]

I think Obama is so succesful because he really looks like Mr. Clark! You rock mr. Freeman

[jacko6737447]

they all better pass...

[Dayoungrockstarjay]

Should had received an ocsar for this role..

[Yoseman1]

It's not hard to improve your school when you throw out all of the troubled kids. Luckily, Joe Clark wasn't around very long.

[shin1300]

If Morgan Freeman would narrate my life everything i do would sound and look sophisticated and elegant

"There he sit and watch a lustrous video of two woman as he watch he move his hands upward and downward. down and up and down and up and down-...."

[impactgreatness]

A very motivational speech! It would be great to meet Morgan Freeman personally!

[XxCRDAxX]

I would give all my money to hear morgan freeman reading a dictionary

[Ferreal92]

Most of those kids are probably saying "dayyyum, I should of studied."

[Stolanis]

@Ferreal92 Yeah, I know: shouldn't Morgan have given that speech, like, a week before the test, to give them the time to revise? =P

[crazychief9876]

this movie is based on a true story for those who have been takin to far into the internet

[tuanomsoc]

stereotype threat: ACTIVATE



[GrindTeamOfficial]

Im gonna watch this video right before taking my drug test

[CyberTech2000]

im gonna watch this tomorrow morning before my ACT Test :)

[MrPhalluster]

What a menacing bunch of criminals in that student audience, if it were up to me I would have just leveled the building, nothing good coming out of there

[acoti]

@MrPhalluster Troll elsewhere please.

[BrianLG100]

@MrPhalluster just go die asshole, you're no better than them, atleast they were trying to learn something!

[johnstonjessie]

@MrPhalluster It's a movie you idiot. Those actors have more education than you could dream of. And even if it were a real bunch of students, at least they were doing something good with their life, what are you doing? Nothing but looking like an idiot over the internet.

[Hope4BestPlan4Worst]

for a moment I thought Martin Luther King was speaking

[RedBarSuperstar]

should of said this a few weeks before the test so they studied ...

[xkiller12311]

fantastic movie!!!! thumbs up if u agree!

[natalia9109]

[NONO14ISH]

@natalia9109 Lean On Me

[NONO14ISH]

@natalia9109 Lean on me

[sparrowspointjockin]

Chuck norris looks under his bed for morgan freeman.

[blitzer1110]

i have on week left to study for the mcat and im already feeling that i can get more done this next week then ive ever done collectively these last 2 month. KNUCKLE BACK DOWN AND CONCENTRATE

[gregnice25]

MR.CLARK: "YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF NIGGERS, AND SPICS, AND POOR WHITE TRASH".....SMH, LOL

[TheMzgreen75]

Morgan Freeman makes obama looks like neil the IT guy

[XxMauiboixX]

morgan freeman for president 

[qwerty842]

Obviously you guys VVVV down there have not read Huckleberry Finn.

[TonganPower]

omg.. the word nigger was a word the white men used for black people.. obviously white people cant use it anymore since they came up with that racist word. use your head people.

[MrWeeedz]

I never understood why a black man can call other black men niggers, but if a white guy does it he's racist. Makes perfect nonsense

[MIKESOWELL]

@MrWeeedz I am black, and I do it. But you right, it doesn't make sense that we do you it. I guess it is such a vicious word for us, that we tried to take the stigma out of the word by using it ourselves. But that didn't work, because we use that word ourselves to hurt each other as well. Oh well...

[thespeez]

@MrWeeedz I can understand your sentiments. People may call me whatever they will for saying the following, but I truly believe that if you EVER insult another's ethnicity, you better damned well have the balls and be willing to insult your own in the same breath!

[MrDanielhartsock]

He said the N word!!!!!!!!!! Kill him!!

[TheEddSue]

@MrDanielhartsock He's Black you moron

[SeniorDoobie]

I would actually look forward to school if Freeman was my principal. Great movie by the way!

[yt8019]

Yes we can!

[brendaf9700]

yes joe clark was a great principal i do miss my school eastside high school

[pricefan2007]

@brendaf9700 what was it like having Joe Clark as a principal? Was Morgan Freeman's portail of Joe Clark accurate do you think?

[WaffleBrother]

if Morgan Freeman was my principal when i was in high school ... i would of showed up to school EVER-SINGLE-DAY!!!

[Ubermisho]

@WaffleBrother And do bad things to be sent to the principal's office every time ^^

[Domocus]

Inspirational, yes...but will it really help these kids? Doubt an hour is enough time for them to study :)

[MIKESOWELL]

@Domocus They had been studying for weeks, if not months for that test. He just was giving them that extra push to pass that test.

[DJYANKEEZ2]

favorite movie

[kbgnmjfnbvjksdfvnjkn]

10 people were highschool dropouts.

[MIKESOWELL]

@kbgnmjfnbvjksdfvnjkn I think you mean ARE highschool dropouts lol

[TimeTravelerJK]

I really wish I would have a future principle like this ~

[ITALIANO87RAFF]

this movie was a classic

[91ahmed91]

[SirClarencetheCruel]

[cameron6697]

@SirClarencetheCruel you would be surprised what inspiration can do for some....

[kiwidave666]

@SirClarencetheCruel um its a true story! it happened just like it is in the movie

[SHYENNE789]

@kiwidave666 for real

[dellfan17]

LOVE Morgan Freeman!!!!!!

[lincolnasassin]

You can make liars out of those bastards in exactly one hour, when you take that test and pass it and win!! Classic

[lifetimegirl2288]

The message lives on! 

[ShaneYDG]

3:20 - 3:30 is used in Big Chocolate's remix Jail Time :D

[Goodfleisch]

This movie manages to keep the main actors always in focus even in large gatherings.

[PunkRockPat]

great acting in this movie, especially the kids.

[DaNgVaMpIrE]

he reminds me alot of my principal that we have now...he really is like this..he's always trying to motivate us in every way possible..i admire him so much.<3

he really did save us from getting our school shut down.

[davetrace123]

When he says "I want all the white people to stand up" what do the asians and mexicans do? lol

[orexus]

@davetrace123

They stay seated...?

[JASONFIED]

If he would of made this speech in Dark Knight, maybe Harvey "Two Face" Dent wouldn't of gone crazy!

[toriaful1234]

Morgan Freeman is a good actor.

[mikey197799]

i miss assembly..if only we had inspirational speeches delivered like this

[Bajedu]

i always watch this speech b4 taking my exam :)

[korikakumei]

if only obama gave speeches like this. morgan freeman is PURE BLACK POWA.

[bentla17]

@korikakumei Who cares about black power! This speech wasn't just for black people. White people also.

[MrKimmy1991]

imagine all of them failed the test..... tht would be funny hahahaha....

but stilll tht is some speech... great!!!

[raoulhery]

his tie is too short!!!! crazy 80" style

[BeavisII]

Here he looks much as barack obama :)

[middiablo]

@BeavisII Obama couldn't tie Morgan Freeman's shoelaces.

[BeavisII]

@middiablo ..but there is always the US Army xD

[effingya]

@middiablo Amen to that!

[ARP7777777]

@middiablo YEAH. . .SHIT! You as nasty as you sound, prey? GO LOOK for the SAGE, man. I piss on your warrior spirit.

[Yoseman1]

@middiablo

Morgan Freeman is an ACTOR genius...

[thespeez]

@middiablo That's probably true, but while Freeman may portray himself here extremely well and his acting here is nothing short of superb; I'm concerned about recent comments of him calling the TEA party and its activists 'racist'. While I'm not fond of some of the TEA party factions, I feel such a comment was and is totally uncalled for.

[Inbreederkiller4444]

@thespeez Morgan Freeman was the only one who called the Tea Party racist not Crazy Joe, or Easy Reader for that matter. I'm sure if those fictional characters existed they would be more proactive by digging in the trenches and changing that which needs to be changed to address racism instead of publicizing their opinions in the matter that Mr. Freeman has done. If you want my opinion I think all parties are racist, yet however, I'm a scientist, I look down upon politics.

[thespeez]

@Inbreederkiller4444 I understand that. I was just pointing out a fact. FTR I feel that government has the duty to protect our lives, liberties and properties and otherwise leave us alone so long as we don't hurt one-another. There is only one race, and that is the HUMAN race!

[rekon209stk]

:) i like this

[WickedG5150]

damn.. he is awesome!!!!

[MsMartha2]

And... we all will learn together...

[MsMartha2]

Best move for learning how to endure.

[UlsterLoyal72]

morgan freeman for president! :D

[whenhornynunsattack]

@UlsterLoyal72 sorry he's already president of south africa!

[UlsterLoyal72]

@whenhornynunsattack LOL

[klabkebash]

I thought he was going to scream out YES WE CAN!! .. So maybe Obama stole his whole act from Morgan Freeman Joe Clark's character..

[NJburbsSeeker]

@klabkebash

I'd vote for Joe Clark for President.

[bonky7]

@klabkebash

No dude, Obama stole that saying from the mexicans......SI SE PUEDE, SI SE PUEDE....yes we can!

This is the reason why they are demanding to become legal residents.....yes they can.

[osalcido85]

@bonky7 Uh what exactly is preventing them from becoming legal residents?

[ComradeDragon]

@osalcido85 Cakes

[arberkusari]

this is shit , how about he would have made that speech a few days before the test , so they would have study some stuff ?

[jrcarter9175]

Morgan Freeman wasn't nominated for this that year, but he did get a Best Actor nod for "Driving Miss Daisy", which I think is some bull.

[Pr1ceisright]

Would have been hilarious if the clip just ended at 1:25.

[pookie15k]

@Pr1ceisright u r a racists

[Pr1ceisright]

@pookie15k it is a joke, freeman is one of my favorite actors and i love this movie, i just thought i would have been funny.

[LukeWhitaker]

morgans the best

[CrashOverdrive4]

All my white students stand up!

[mekoisdego]

I listen to this before every test i take.

[tigahwood]

Mr. Clark don't play

[blkguy620]

EASTSIDE!!!!!!!

[thatsafreakbaby]

When you can take an audience and hold them in the palm of your hand like morgan freeman did then you know your a true leader no matter what your doing for a living.

[tonybklyn]

@thatsafreakbaby God Damn it!! How many of you IDIOTS are going to mistake Morgan Freeman..an actor, for the Joe Clark the actual PERSON. Are you so tuned into media bytes that you can't separate the two?

[thatsafreakbaby]

@tonybklyn i have a question for you?

[tonybklyn]

@thatsafreakbaby OK, my bad that was TOTALLY meant for a whole other post. sorry!

[thatsafreakbaby]

@tonybklyn no problem

[republic2001]

Education takes place not in obtaining knowledge, but how the knowledge obtained transforms the thought process of the learning individual and how one uses that knowledge. This is education.

[republic2001]

Education takes place when the mind is ready. You can read, write, add, subtract, memorize the entire penal code verbatim. This is not education. Education, beyond the act of aquiring knowledge is never ending and constant. It starts at birth and ends at death. It is here that we educate ourselves. No one person is ever educated.

[SOCRATES012]

@republic2001 well said.

[undercover22ful]

test number 1

[blobby1972]

I wish my teacher had been like this for me all my teacher did was pump into me how usless I was and a waist of skin how I would never asume to anything WELL I SAY MR DODD I HAVE ACHIEVED EVERY DREAM I EVER HAD AND NOT BECAUSE OF YOU BUT INSPITE OF YOU, YOU WORTHLESS PRICK.

[popsticky09]

I wish Morgan Freeman was my Principal.

[TheJake1013]

@popsticky09 i might get in trouble on purpose just so i could hear his voice

[laminage]

@popsticky09 I know what you mean. My Principal was a real Star F@cker who only cared about image who gravitated to kids who he felt were Honor Students. As much as I hate to say it, he really didn't give a care about his Black Students. They were always being harassed, bullied and put down but so many of them did well for themselves. Top Atheletes, Entrepreneurs, and some even became Teachers. Yet Payback was a Mutha because when the went back to see their Old Teachers, they showed them.

[Skinnydips]

this speech needs to be given at my school, people forget.

[cbaldwinjr]

Morgan Freeman should've at LEAST gotten nominated for this...Joe Clark was a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD MAN!

[fadethetrade]

I used to get some real good shit there.

[charlie2485]

i went to eastside..itz still the same..they need to come back n help these bad ass kids now..paterson gets no respect

[stali28]

@carlos...im glad it did

[stali28]

this movie is so damn good it changed so many peoples views on the inner city and its children..POWERFUL DAMN FILM

[mrcarlos15]

@stali28 It really did, including mine.

[Mr7Cali]

I LOVE THIS SPEECH

[fez1964]

"You are just a bunch of niggers and spics and poor white trash!"

[kokoswirl]

@fez1964 how mean jesus

[fez1964]

I was just quoting what Mr. Clark states at 1:07 in his speech. I find it funny that he says it to his students.

[lolookphor]

@fez1964 he's saying what the white people think they are

[79ashna]

the same things are still being said today!

[79ashna]

I love Morgan Freeman!

[kylejones7]

They can all aspire to Meharry and Howard colleges. lol

[OneLegKicker]

but one hour before the exam? would it be too late?

[rafterscott]

I had a teacher in high school that was teaching at Eastside High when Joe Clark was principal. She said he was tougher in real life than he was in the movie. She said if a teacher made a mistake, he would announce that mistake during the morning announcements.

[democrat10]

@rafterscott They should have put that in the movie.

[artstar19]

A powerful film. It always reminds me of my high school in Atlanta, It was all black, and some people not too long ago had given up hope for the school, but my class of 2005 proved them all wrong.

Should be shown in a lot of schools today, regardless of the racial makeup

[mutiilation]

Damn that's alot of white people there was just one in my high school.

[eagledancer4]

@mutiilation thats fucked up

[TheShaxman]

@mutiilation There was only one black guy in my school when I was a kid... and you know what.

He was my best friend, he succeed in life better than anybody else I know... And most of all, its because of that frienship today, that I feel I'm a better man.!!!

I never saw the color of the skin of anybody, neither there religion or their anything.

I've learn respect, i've learn frienship...

cheers bro.

[billjesusgates]

i hate to be a white student at eastside high.

[kylejones7]

@billjesusgates

"all the white students, stand up... okay everyone else, remember these faces, kill these mofos!" lol

[royalsteven]

lol 1.05 racist O_O

[sweetlikez]

best movie ever!!!!!!!

[kylejones7]

this speech might have been more useful had it been done say a week prior to the exam.
