Kelvin McGrue: Koko

Quotes 

• Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : Koko, this ain't PS 154. You ain't gotta raise your hand, man.

  Koko : I been reading this book...

  Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : [Mockingly]  Huh. You readin' now?

  Koko : Yeah. It's a it's a book on politics and the social conditions that created hip-hop. The Dodgers left Brooklyn, Robert Moses created the Cross Bronx Expressway, and white folks went running for the suburbs. This cat named Moynihan went and hollered at Nixon, and told the prez that maybe the inner city could benefit from the benign neglect...

  Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : Benign what?

  Koko : It's... it's the benign neglect. What it means is this: Maybe if we just leave that Luke Cage cat alone, give him his side of the street, we take ours.

  Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : [Cottonmouth shoots Koko]  Benign neglect
