Uncle Ward : [after Lionel has been expelled from college] Now you go down to the Dean's office tomorrow like a proud Negro...
Lionel Jefferson : [interrupting] You mean "Black."
Uncle Ward : Lionel, it took us 300 years to get from "nigger" to "colored." And it took me 50 years to get from "colored" to "Negro." So you'll just have to be patient if it takes me a little longer to go from "Negro" to "Black."

Uncle Ward : If it hadn't been for us 'Old Uncle Toms,' you 'Young bloods' wouldn't be around here today!
