and i'm like, "none, because i didn't get to see any." but black women have been funny this whole time, and so often we are simply just not considered star-worthy. - different female comics, they had to do different things in order to get exposure. like with whoopi goldberg, she wrote her own one-woman act and she put it out herself. nobody would've given whoopi her set if she hadn't did it herself, and she ended up getting it on hbo. - she come up to me talkin' 'bout, "fasten your seat belt." (audience laughing) i said, "(beep) you!" (audience laughing) - she was funny and she was real, and i really related to her characters. the little girl who put the shirt on her head so she could have long hair, that was me. - then she said, "even if you sit in a vat of clorox 'til hell freeze over, you ain't gonna be nothin' but black." and she was right 'cause i sat in the clorox and i got burned.
