I caught a Richard Pryor stand-up routine one night and he was talking about visiting the brothers at a prison in Arizona, I believe. He talked about meeting and greeting the brothers and hearing what they had to say and how things were and that they knew he would understand because he WAS a brother. And then he said once he cleared the front gate, "Thank God for prisons!"

The point, in case you missed it, is that it ISN'T about being black or white, it's about what you do and who and what you are that matters.
