A part of being black in America and, you know, I presume being any minority, is constantly being told that we're being too aware of race somehow, we're obsessed with it or we're seeing racism where there just isn't racism.

I look at racism as one of the social demons. And, in its worst, it's violent and it's a systemic commitment to oppression.

I can fathom anything, man. I love biting off more than I can chew and figuring it out.

We can convince ourselves to do things in conjunction with one another that we wouldn't have been able to do as an individual.

Obama was the best thing for black nerds everywhere. Finally we had a role model. Before Obama, we basically had Urkel.

For me, the social thriller is the thriller in which the fears, the horrors, and the thrills are coming from society. They're coming from the way humans interact.

I think that human beings are the most awful monster we have ever seen.
