As white people in this society, we are socialized from the time that we're born to see ourselves as superior, to see white people and things associated white people as superior. At the same time, I'm encouraged to never admit to that. I'm taught that racism is very bad and immoral.

Racism has two primary functions: the oppression of people of color, which most people recognize, but also the simultaneous elevation of white people. You can't hold one group down without lifting the other up.

If I have no idea how my race shapes me, I am probably not going to be open to any feedback about how your race shapes you.

For a lot of white people, just suggesting that being white has meaning will trigger a deep, defensive response. And that defensiveness serves to maintain both our comfort and our positions in a racially inequitable society from which we benefit.

There is no such thing as the worst gang because they're all pretty bad. It is very difficult to classify them in terms of who is worse than the other because they all have pretty bad things associated with them.

I really wanted 'NH10' to be made, and being associated with it eased the entire process.

I definitely don't want to do anything associated with the NFL.

People need to know, before I'm associated with any party, I am an American, and that's what I want to drive home at the RNC.

I wanted to start my career on TV with a show which could extract maximum potential out of me and of course, I was also looking at what team of people I get associated with for my debut show.
