kings men thinking
I am really enjoying the new Martin Luther King Jr stamp - just think about all those white bigots, licking the backside of a black man.
attitude white needs
You know, I always say white is not a colour, white is an attitude, and if you haven't got trillions of dollars in the bank that you don't need, you can't be white.
pay ifs dies
You got to die of something because if you die of nothing, they won't pay your insurance.
boys expression insulting
When I was a boy, I was taught never to use insulting expressions like, 'I've been gypped,' or, 'He welshed on the deal.'
democracy good-things ifs
If democracy is such a good thing, let's have more of it.
mother father oneness
I feel that the same God-force that is the mother and father of the Pope is also the mother and father of the loneliest wino on the planet.
believe thinking records
Now here's what I'm saying: I've always believed that every other month we hear about compromisation of bank records, I think that's the CIA and the FBI. Now let me tell you why I'm saying this. I don't believe no insignificant pip-squeak is going to be able to pull this off month after month and we can't find out what's going on.
marriage political promise
Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten.
funny military army
When I lost my rifle, the Army charged me 85 dollars. That is why in the Navy the Captain goes down with the ship.
long mind bigs
In the South they don't mind how close I get, so long as I don't get too big. In the North they don't mind how big I get, so long as I don't get too close.
mother kings taught-us
Martin Luther King taught us all nonviolence. I was told to extend nonviolence to the mother and her calf.
white america black
I didn't realize, when I decided to be a comic, that a black person had never been allowed to stand flat-footed in America and talk to white folks. It never happened before.
mean hip-hop revolution
Revolution ain't nothing but an extent of evolution; Evolution is a fact of nature. So when old folks tell me that they don't understand hip hop and the music is too loud, well I guess it means you're not supposed to be in there.
laughter way release
Laughter is the best way to release tensions and fears.
