Paul Mooney's Comedy: From Slavery's Perspective On


Look at the audience: there are blacks from every walk of life, who understand the brutality of America, and don't - or can't - shy away from it. This is stand-up for witnesses.
"It ain't me. This shit was here when I came here. And it'll be here when - I could drop dead right now - racism's are here. It's here forever. It's in the blood. Because white folks owned us and they'll never get over it. Because I'm going to tell you why: I read the white book - "Getting Away" wasn't a chapter,…They ain't been happy since."
