me a little reminds of richard pryor's early comedy. there is a real anger. i know you use humor, but there's anger about race relations in america. >> i don't know if it is anger as much as sadness and pathos. anger is there, i guess, but america is an angry country right now. an angry globe. .nger is not the central thing there is frustration and irony. what is the american dream? what is it mean? when you get it, then what? yeah, it is an anger. i don't think it is an angry book, but i understand why people say that. ,ane: talking to paul beatty the first american to win the man booker prize. the u.s. and canada share many things. one thing is the popular american grocery train trader 's. those across the border have then addicted, so much that they make trips just to load up on supplies. there is a lucrative solution known as pirate joe's. prices, he does the shopping. we caught up with him across the border. >> i'm taking an empty, unmarked white van to sneak into a trader full ofill it up, contraband, and convince the canadian border people to let me ba

he's using nigger-- if you listen to richard pryor-- he is using nigger a lot. is he using nigger to put black people down, no, he's using it ironically. he's sometimes using it playfully, he's using it often as a mirror to shame racism. >> i don't want them hip white people coming up calling me no nigger and telling me no nigger jokes. i don't like it. >> and then you've got people who have the idea of taking nigger back. so you have some people who say, "well, nigger has been used to take us down, so what we are going to do is grab this word and we are going to use it for our own purposes." >> but do they know the history of it? >> well, one of the reasons i wrote a book about this was because i got the sense that there were, especially young people, who were using the word who did not have an understanding of the history behind the word. so i spent 40 pages talking about, just giving instance after instance after instance, of the way in which this word has been used to hurt black people. >> hasn't it also been used against other ethnic groups, chinese, mormon

at some point, it makes you think of the old line that richard pryor used to have saying how he got caughtith another woman by his wife and he said who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes? sometimes what he is saying doesn't bear up with any of the numbers you show day after day. it's like birtherism has given way to trumperism. somehow there is an alternate reality going on here. i really believe that maybe it's in the best interest of some of the his fan boys at fox news to support this candidacy. if he loses, they might end up losing. the trump news network or whatever he is going to call it will be a force of nature in this country. >> that's my other question. so much of the trump image and messages that i'm a winner and everybody is a loser. thinking back to the republican primaries and every debate. rubio and bush said they can't beat hillary. only i can beat hillary. romney choked. i won't choke. the trump voters are going to go along with what he describes. if he loses do you think they buy into it? >> i think they will buy into it. that's what happens when you issue t
