running dog zebras
...Humans were the only creatures in the world that ate their food cooked. You'd never find a Gorilla frying up some bananas for dinner or a lion charcoal-broiling a zebra steak. Cats don't often run to the oven with a mouse or bird they've captured, and a dog wouldn't naturally prepare its rabbit dinner in a stew.
running airports romance
I went to Ethiopia, and it dawned on me that you can tell a starving, malnourished person because they've got a bloated belly and a bald head. And I realized that if you come through any American airport and see businessmen running through with bloated bellies and bald heads, that's malnutrition, too.
running gun thinking
I don't know why America always thinks she has to run all around the world forcing people to take our way of governance at the barrel of a gun. When you've got something really good, you don't have to force it on people. They will steal it!
america black folks tolerate
We do not believe, had he been white, that he would be dead. And when we black folks say to America that we're not going to tolerate it, it's going to stop.
american-comedian riches torment
Riches do not delight us so much with their possession, as torment us with their loss.
country believe thinking
I believe young voters will either vote for Obama or not vote at all. So the problem is not Obama the problem is the system. If you think about how mess up this country is, most folk really don't have choices.
hell-hath-no-fury hell fury
Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned.
inspirational dance war
And we love to dance, especially that new one called the Civil War Twist. The Northern part of you stands still while the Southern part tries to secede.
mean done advertising
You know why Madison Avenue advertising has never done well in Harlem? We're the only ones who know what it means to be Brand X.
children white black
I used to get letters saying, 'I didn't know black children and white children were the same.'
thinking laughing people
I consider myself always a humorist. And I think anybody who tells jokes or makes people laugh is humor.
comic humorists
I'm not a comic. I'm a humorist.
holiday calendars drink
Every holiday on the calendar, I check in a hotel and fast - I don't eat, I don't drink, I don't talk.
people easy nightclubs
That's easy, to stand in a nightclub, where most of the people that come in, they came to see you.
