ResumoThis is how scared white people have black people [sic]. I was sitting in my office with Mike Tyson and Don King-my office, at Eddie Murphy Productions. only two people that work there that are white are my managers that work for me. And we got on the subject of white people, and the government, and shit like that, and what happened is, we started whispering, The white man . They got you so scared you whisper in your own house about that motherfucker. Now that's a helluva thing. Me, Mike Tyson, and Don King, sitting in my own office whispering about the white man. I said, Yo, man, they have done such a thing on us that we whispering and he ain't even here. And that's just something that's in you naturally-what the fuck is up? -Eddie Murphy (Eddie! 36)
