Know who you are. Value who you are. Knowing yourself and valuing yourself comes from knowing what’s true and accurate.

“Whoever dismisses bigotry or underestimates its impact has never lived under the pain.”
Paul Mooney, Black Is the New White

“When you know who you are, it’s harder for people to fuck with you. Hollywood is dangerous because the great hobby they have in that town is fucking with other people. Building you up, knocking you down, until finally you are destroyed. They all want to create you and mold you.”
Paul Mooney, Black Is the New White

“When I imitate middle-class white speech, I see a flicker of unease cross the faces of the white people in the audience. Then, when I go into ghetto riff, the smiles return. They’re fine as long as I am making fun of the same kind of people they make fun of, chinks and spics and niggers. But as soon as I start talking about them, I can clear a room.”
Paul Mooney, Black Is the New White

“I don’t fatten frogs to feed snakes. Are you stupid? I taught you better than that. A wet pussy and a dry purse don’t match.”
Paul Mooney, Black Is the New White
