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.
thinking laughing people
I consider myself always a humorist. And I think anybody who tells jokes or makes people laugh is humor.
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.
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.
book thinking roots
We used to root for the Indians against the cavalry, because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory, and when the Indians won it was a massacre.
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.
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.'
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.
