When my brother passed away... I made a decision that I might die soon, and if I die, I want people to know who I really am.
Hate speech and freedom of speech are two different things.
They redid 'Roots,' and everyone was saying, 'Oh, it shouldn't have been done.' I was like, 'It definitely should have been done.' Because it needs to be refurbished for the new generation so they can understand it.
