I'm of the opinion that if you step on stage and you're not a straight white male, you're automatically making a political statement whether you know it or not.

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 idea we have of prison is a scary place that also houses crazy people. And, to me, it was like, none of these guys were scary. They may have done things that are violent or scary, but these are not people that I feel nervous being around, and it feels like to me that we're wasting these men's lives in prison.

As a person of color, you're in a PhD level racism class, every day. Every day, I'm in a deep racism seminar. And I'm not saying that white people aren't taking that class, but they don't show up that often and they're auditing it.

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.

It doesn't do any good to just be on the side of black people. The funnier comedic position is to be on the side of oppressed people in general.
