The state is a social relationship; a certain way of people relating to one another. It can be destroyed by creating new social relationships; that is, by people relating to one another differently.

Struggle is really not intrinsic to the African-American community. Struggle is intrinsic to the United States.

I embrace the label of bad feminist because I am human. I am messy. I'm not trying to be an example. I am not trying to be perfect. I am not trying to say I have all the answers.

Comedy is the best form of defiance.

You ever try to walk quietly out of a room and not look back?
