Quotes 

• Jimmy Rebel : [singing]  Step back silverback, hold on blackie/ Steal some gas for your Cadillackie.

• Uncle Ruckus : I'm sorry, Mr. Rebel. I didn't mean what I said before. I just couldn't stand to watch you throw everything away, just for me.

  Jimmy Rebel : Ruckus, you were right. I'm just not the racist I used to be. It's time for me to move on.

  Uncle Ruckus : Oh no, Mr. Rebel, your voice is too important for the world. I cain't be responsible for you givin' up singin'.

  Jimmy Rebel : I'm not gonna give up singin'. I just wanna sing about somethin' other than ni--ers.

  Uncle Ruckus : Well if we ain't gonna be singin' bout no ni--ers, what are we gonna be singin' about?

  Jimmy Rebel : There's so many other things to make music about. There's friends and good times, beer, love, and all kinds of s--t.

  Uncle Ruckus , Jimmy Rebel : [cut to singing]  Send the beaners back down to Mexico/Send the beaners back down to Mexico/Send the beaners back down to Mexico where they come from.

• Jimmy Rebel : Remember when I said how we hate the blacks because of their attitudes?

  Uncle Ruckus : Yeah.

  Jimmy Rebel : Well I think that's a load of s--t. You're just like one of us, Ruckus, but they still hate you. And it's not your attitude, it's cuz your black. And know what else I realized? Most rednecks are really f--king stupid, and I mean really f--king stupid. I made some of the best music of my life with you, Ruckus, and I don't intend to stop.

  Uncle Ruckus : I'm sorry, Mr. Rebel, but I cain't make music with you no mo. Because... because you are not the racist I thought you was.

• Jimmy Rebel : [singing]  Well, but just the other day, during a blizzard in hell/ I met a colored fella, as far as I could tell/ Inside, he had a white man's integrity/how about that/Well he had a few jobs, not just one/He worked all day till the day was done/He loved his country and I thought, well I'll be.
