When black women are down with you and in your corner, you have an ally that will move Heaven and Earth.

Look at Michelle Obama. Everyone keeps making a big deal about her arms being exposed, but don't get it twisted: her arms are out for a reason. Black women have had those arms forever - lifting, picking cotton, toting and carrying babies.

I'm a black man in the United States of America, so I always feel like there's a target on me.

Women hate everything which strips off the tinsel of sentiment, and they are right, or it would rob them of their weapons.

Ultimately, when I deliver something, a lot of times it will be from a black woman's perspective, but other times it will be just from a satirical, goofy perspective.

We all have these challenges and stereotypes that exist, but you can't let that hold you down... If that's the first thing you think about as a black woman - the challenge that lies ahead - you are thinking in the wrong direction, in my opinion.

To me, the black black woman is our essential mother, the blacker she is the more us she is and to see the hatred that is turned on her is enough to make me despair, almost entirely, of our future as a people.

Black men struggle with masculinity so much. The idea that we must always be strong really presses us all down - it keeps us from growing.
