Quotes

“For me to be at a comedy club and flip out and say this crap, I'm deeply, deeply sorry. … I'm not a racist, that's what's so insane about this!”
“Shut up! Fifty years ago we'd have you upside-down with a fucking fork up your ass!”
“They're going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger?”
“You can talk! You can talk! You can talk! You're brave now, motherfucker! Throw his ass out! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! A nigger, look, there's a nigger! Ooh! Ooh! All right, ya see? It shocks you, it shocks you to see what's buried beneath, you stupid motherfuckers!”
“Well, you interrupted me, pal. That's what happens when you interrupt the white man, don't you know?”
“Cracker-ass? Are you calling me cracker-ass, nigga!?”
