On Racism and Exposure
It's hard to relate to things you can't relate to. [I]f you don’t live around Black folks and you just watch tv, you’re going to be racist. I’d be racist! It’s a mathematical equation. The media and a fake ass history system that makes you believe that White people created any of this makes you think that Black people ain’t worth a damn. Of course, that’s the way the algorithm works.
On White People's Insecurity
Because when you’re privileged and you’re a fucking spoiled brat you complain about everything. [...] There are so many White folks here that are absolutely able to step forward and have the conversation without being fucking insecure about it.
On Racism in Hollywood
You know how many fucking jobs I have to turn down and how many people I have to fire because of the racist shit I get offered? And I’m as White as you can get being a Black person. I have a fucking struggle. You got to decide whether to wear a du-rag and rob some White person on a tv show or pay your mortgage and raise your family. And that’s no fucking joke.
