Back when we were Neanderthals or whatever, we evolved to think along tribal lines. Survival was based on this idea of who are we and who are the others who will come and take our resources. I think it's an animal and a human thing that we all see in terms of us vs. them, and race is a very easy way to separate who is us and who is them.

As kids, there's somehow the fear that these bullies can end your life if they want to. Everything is blown up, and occasionally that kind of awful thing does happen.

How we act with each other really reveals our most animal instincts.

The scariest monster in the world is human beings and what we are capable of, especially when we get together.

I've always thought of myself as an African-American comedian, African-American man, everything.

The conversation about race is inevitable. It's one that people know that we have to have and continue to have.
