Quotes:
Steve Harvey:
When you go to church that much when you're a kid, you don't really care for church that much. So what you got to do is find little things to like about church, that make you want to go. And the one thing I liked about my church might seem a little strange to you. But the one thing that made me want to go all the time was when I found out that there was people that cussed at the church. That might not do it for y'all, but dammit, that done it for me.

"I like Black people, okay? I talk to Terrence at my job sometimes, and I even liked Urkel on 'Family Matters.' I don't understand why these particular Black guys have to get up on stage and tell jokes about race, which I understand to be racist. I don't think their jokes about Black churches or Black families are funny. It's not just because I've never experienced either, it's because I have simply deemed them unfunny. Who cares if they were the biggest selling tour in America for several years? I never heard of them, so they must not be relevant. They probably all portray drug dealers on their TV shows. I know funny. Jerry Seinfeld, Dane Cook, Gallagher and... Richard Pryor (only because he's dead) are it. These filthy negroes are NOT it. It's okay when George Carlin or Jon Stewart curse, but when these guys do it, it's profane. To sum up: Andrew Dice Clay = good, a bunch of Black guys = terrible. BONUS!!! Spike Lee is involved, so that makes it extra, EXTRA racist. Not that he wrote one word of this movie, a CONCERT film, but it just always comforts me to call him a racist because he talks about non-white things. If it ain't white, it ain't right."
