Quote by Dan Harmon

“I have to be really careful, because I have nothing but love for this entity known as "the customer" in entertainment. I would never, ever, ever put myself above them and say, "They don't get it, but it's funny, believe me." If they're not laughing, I'm doing my job wrong.”

We need our president to sit down with folks who have a personal experience, a deep connection to the horror and the pain of this country`s provocative racial history.
