Wanda Sykes
I'm proud to be a woman. I'm proud to be a black woman, and I'm proud to be gay.

Some black people want to get in touch with their African roots. But then you got some black people that just don't give a damn. You tell them, 'Hey, I just got back from the motherland.' They're like, 'Where'd you go - Detroit? Did you see The Temptations?'
