I'm a dad, and that's really important to me, and I realize now that I'm a dad that it's a major part of my identity.

The best version of comedy is when you can get to an issue where, at some point, you're not firmly on one side or the other, and you can see both sides. The more we become about the issues, the more successful we are.

That's the nature of my [stand-up] act: black man with a white baby.

I'm most biased about how white people have to learn to shut up when the conversation of racism comes up. White people have to learn to listen. Whether they agree with what they're hearing or not, they have to know to shut up and listen.

If I could email my jokes to the crowd and get the same immediate response [as during stand-up], I'd do that.

There is a linear way in which black comedians are expected to talk about race by all audiences - black people are like this, white people are like this - and it really is hard to break through that. I never was doing it that way.

You might not agree with something, but it doesn't mean you don't need to listen to it. White people have to accept that they don't always know about racism.
