When I was 16 or 17, I saw Lenny Bruce being taken to jail. They took him off stage because he talked about race.

America is racial. America was founded on race. Race is America. The code name for America is 'race.'

Robin Williams learned technique. He has the technique of being funny.

You got to remember that slavery's very complex. It has a lot of levels to it.

We have a lot of black Anglo-Saxons. Their skin is black, but their brain is white. When I get real mad at them, I call them graham crackers.

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.

I have nothing to do with racism in America; it was here when I got here.
