people trying
When you watch TV, I didn't know black people were that happy. I had no idea they were that happy. I'm trying to find them.
bumper offend peace people sign sit stickers supporting
To me, the peace sign is about supporting our troops. I feel like I have to have bumper stickers now. It (angers) some people ... I don't want to offend people ... (but) I can't just sit there and take it.
allow hard listen neither others people understand
It's hard to listen to people sometimes who have been to neither place. It's (also) often hard for me to understand how people who have been there would allow others to go there if they have any say about it.
almost funny mess offered people turned
They offered him $70 million, and he turned it down. It's funny because (in the beginning) the show almost didn't get made. He said, 'I can do it if no one will mess with my material, if they'll let me do what I want creatively, because these people don't know what funny is.' (That's why) I went and did it.

There are still plenty of movie people peddling black stereotypes. I guess Tyler Perry's probably the most massively successful.

People ask me, when was my best time? I always say, 'Today.'
fun white people
White people made up the n-word, they knew about racial jokes before anybody, and in their old movies and old cartoons they made fun of everybody, especially black folks. Racial jokes were not new to them.
people path traps
I like when people are trapped in the joke, when there's no escape. I like to lead people down the wrong path and then trap them.
self white people
Whatever that thing is that white people like in blacks, I don't have it. Maybe it's my arrogance or my self-assurance or the way I carry myself, but whatever it is, I don't have it.
morning people black
I love Obama because he is proof all black people don't look alike. Nobody every told me, 'Good morning, Mr. President.' We don't all look alike.
crazy thinking people
People think you're crazy if you turn money down... people worship money.
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.
white awards people
White people are very good at acting like they're not racist. They deserve an Academy Award for that.
white hair people
If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed. If your hair is nappy, they're not happy.
