You all know how black humor started? It started in slave ships, y'know. Cat was on his way over here rowin', y'know, a dude'd say, "Whatchoo laughin' about?"

He said, "Yesterday, I was a king..."

Havin' a bicentennial. 200 years! Gon' have a bicentennial n***a. They will! They'll have some n***a, 200-years-old, in blackface. With stars and stripes on his forehead. Eyes, lips, just shinin'. And he'll have that lovely white folks' expression on his face, but he's happy. He's happy 'cause he been here two hundred years.

Said, "I'm just so thrilled to be here!" (Crying)
