The execs don't care what color you are. They care about how much money you make. Hollywood is not really black or white. It's green.
In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.
Black people playing tennis, next white people will be tap dancing!
Any time you see a white guy in jail, you know he did something bad.
I feel like I could run for President. People often laugh, but if I set my mind to it, within the next 15 years I could be in the White House.
Even though the white cedar has been lying on the forest floor for two years, it is still able to be sent to the mill because of its resistance to rot and decay.
My life is black and white and mixed. My mother's a Rastafarian, my dad was a short white guy - it's not an affectation. It's also the lives of millions of people throughout the world.
We've had a tone-deaf White House that does not want to be reasonable. President Obama won't meet with the Republicans. It's all his way.
We ... view it as an anti-immigrant issue. You can't have a deed restriction saying, 'No Latinos.' But they're trying to have local ordinances that say immediate families (only). ... Are they going back to the white families to see if a cousin is living there? The answer is no. It truly is directed at the new Latino immigrant population.
We were visited by whites, who always found coming into the black community to be interesting. Some even found it exotic. They knew that some of our restaurants were superior to their own. One of the interesting things is that whites discriminated against blacks. Blacks never discriminated against whites, and so they were always welcome.
It's a pretty black and white issue. If they can prove it's true, I think they have a claim.
When you say that you are a race man, it means that you embrace the entire black community regardless of the hue, whether somebody is very light and could pass for possibly white or someone is very dark.
The black community now in many ways divided itself the way the larger white community divides itself, over class issues. And that race is no longer the bond that it once was. That's one of the prices you pay for progress.
There are more black millionaires than white millionaires in this country. In fact, the status of whites has gone down.
