real men white-man
People in America worship money, and a white man's face on a green piece of paper does not make me wealthy. My health makes me wealthy. I used to work at a hospital, so I know the real deal.
people sometimes reason
People do many things for many reasons. Sometimes, what you do you have no control over, because it's predestined. It's gonna happen in spite of you. There's nothing you can do about it.
running black president
Hillary Clinton could say she was a woman and running for president. And Sarah Palin could say she was a woman and running for vice-president. But Obama couldn't say, 'I'm black and I'm running for president.' It couldn't come out of his mouth. He couldn't say that because, if he did, he'd lose votes.
taken jail race
When I was 16 or 17, I saw Lenny Bruce being taken to jail. They took him off stage because he talked about race.
past anything-can-happen cant-change
I can't change the past, but one person can change the future - anything can happen.
slavery levels remember
You got to remember that slavery's very complex. It has a lot of levels to it.
white awards people
White people are very good at acting like they're not racist. They deserve an Academy Award for that.
mean weapons
Handshaking means, 'I don't have a weapon.'
animal may gorillas
No wonder circus animals do what they do: They tortured them. And you know the only ones they can't control? It's the chimpanzees. You can't control them. That's why you never see a gorilla in a movie, because the gorilla may decide there'll be no filming.
white upset black
Listen, we've got one little ol' black president, and white folks are upset, but they've had 43.
dirt brooms knows
A new broom can sweep the floor, but an old broom knows where the dirt is.
white hair people
If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed. If your hair is nappy, they're not happy.
america racism racism-in-america
I have nothing to do with racism in America; it was here when I got here.
people denial want
People don't want to hear the truth, they never do. They wanna live in some kind of fantasy. And then when they get caught up in it, they start being in denial because they don't want to be wrong.
