“We had lunch that day [with Chris Ellis], and I was talking about this idea. I toyed with it a little bit on Twitter in story form at one point. And he thought it was a great idea, and he thought, "Well, let's bring my friend Harry Hannigan in, who's a wonderful writer, and let's see if we can put something together."” IfsWellsLittlesIdeasStoriesTogetherFormBitsTalkingWonderfulLittle BitMy FriendsLunchGreat Idea Author:Brent Spiner

“I write with the idea that nobody will care about what I've written; I publish with the idea that nobody will care either.

“I was fortunately able to avoid getting into any trouble with police. There was - I remember I was 12, and I did something really (laughter) - a couple of friends, Cinco de Mayo - we were off school, and we saw some people looking like they were having a party. And we had a little bit too much time on our hands, and so we figured, as kids, a great idea would be to throw some things over the fence and hit all these people with stuff, like eggs and everything.” PeopleLittlesIdeasHandsWould BeKidsAbleSchoolRememberStuffBitsPartySawsToo MuchTroubleCoupleLittle BitLaughterPoliceEggsFenceGreat IdeaCinco De Mayo Author:Mahershala Ali

“Part of our identity is the idea that racism is still there and that we are vulnerable to it. So, the question is, 'How vulnerable?' In other words, is it really a problem for us, or is it just a small thing. How do you evaluate racism in America on a scale of 1 to 10? My suspicion is that most blacks overrate it a bit. Not to say it's not there, but we overrate it because this masking is part of our relationship to the larger society. This is a way we keep whites on the hook. We keep them obligated, and we keep ourselves entitled. There's an incentive, you see, to inflate it a little bit.” WayLittlesStillsIdeasProblemAmericaBitsIdentityLittle BitRacismScalesVulnerableOur RelationshipSuspicionEntitledHookIncentivesSmall ThingsEvaluateRacism In America Author:Shelby Steele
