If You Can Justify Killing To Eat

I Didn't Realize, When I Decided To Be A Comic, That A Black Person Had Never Been Allowed To Stand Flat-footed In America And Talk To White Folks. It Never Happened Before.

It Was An Unwritten Law That Black Comics Were Not Permitted To Work White Nightclubs. You Could Sing And You Could Dance, But You Couldn't Stand Flat-footed And Talk; That Was A No-no.

Civil Rights: What Black Folks Are Given In The U.s. On The Installment Plan, As In Civil-rights Bills. Not To Be Confused With Human Rights, Which Are The Dignity, Stature, Humanity, Respect, And Freedom Belonging To All People By Right Of Their Birth.

Once I Realised The Value Of Making People Laugh, I Got Very Good At It. Fast.

Being White Is A Job In America. You Take That Away, You Better Get The Soldiers Out.
