[Interviewer asks: How do you feel like things have changed over the past couple decades?]White people have gotten less crazy. That's all. [...]You can say there's progress and all of this. But when you say there's progress, but you're acting like what happened before wasn't crazy.Oh, segregation, we've made a lot of progress and there's no more segregation?— Segregation's retarded. It's crazy to think you're better than somebody, and they can't eat with you and segr— that's crazy! That's insane behavior! Just to think that, on any level— that's kind of insane!So, you can say black people have made progress, but to say black people have made progress would mean we deserved to be segregated. The reality is: white people got less crazy.My father didn't suddenly deserve to eat with people because he earned it. The people who were denying him his rights got less crazy. And that's what, progressively, has happened throughout the years. People are now getting less crazy about gay people. People are crazy.
