"Growing up as a young boy in Wakanda, I would see King T’Challa flying over our village, and he would remind me of a great Xhosa phrase: Abelungu abazi ubu ndiyaxoka, which means: ‘In times like these, we are stronger when we fight together than when we try to fight apart.’"

“…I like to think that I am the product of a world of impossibilities. You know, my mother is where she should have never been. I think my mother made greater leaps than I have ever made.

“Let's be honest: in general men are stronger than women. That's not sexist, it's just true. If anyone is sexist, it's Nature.

That's how easy it's gonna be for you! And for the ladies... you get to put an entire human being out of your vagina. Have a good day.”

“Race jokes are kind of like orcas: powerful and entertaining, but you put them on display in the wrong environment and people are going to get hurt, and the joke might die. Like this one just did.”
