On Racial Profiling

I can’t imagine what it would be like to be singled out because of race and harassed. That’s just flat wrong... Most officers are dedicated citizens who are putting their lives at risk, who aren’t bigoted or aren’t prejudiced.

Nigga, please.

"Most officers aren't bigoted or prejudiced?" Um, not against white people. Cops love to arrest black motherfuckers. I guess they are really behind affirmative action, when it comes to arrests.

On Flying the Confederate Flag in South Carolina

I believe the people of South Carolina can figure out what to do with this flag issue. I don’t believe it’s the role of someone from outside South Carolina to come into this state and tell the people of South Carolina what to do [about] the flag... I trust the people of South Carolina to make the decision for South Carolina.

Nigga, please. Allow me to retort.

The people of South Carolina can't be trusted to think their way out of a box. Let's not get carried away, supposin' that, left alone, they'll overcome racism. That shit sticks like white on money. You got to lay down the law before southerners give up that neo-Nazi shit; the same way you gotta put a label on Windex so that people won't drink it. It seems obvious, but obviously, it ain't.

On Grand Ideals

We have a place, all of us, in a long story, a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the American story, a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals. The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise: that everyone belongs, that everyone deserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.

Nigga, please.

Have you ever heard of Gallagher II? That nigger didn't accomplish shit.
