Eddie Murphy comment on slavery


I was looking at the quotes on several sites, but I still haven't found the one in which Eddie Murphy comments the issue about African American slaves who think they own the house.
I think he said something like this:"Look master, our house burned down"
I hope someone knows where to find it.

Thanks in advance!

Are you sure that was Murphy? I think it was Malcom X. It's not in Delirious anyway.

It's something about not mailing cotton.

"Hey, *beep* mail this cotton, I'd be all like suck my d*ck, master."

reply

I think you'll find it's 'bale that cotton'

I've watched it a few times and even put on the Closed-Captioning. I'm fairly certain that you'll find it's: "Hello, why don't you Fed-Ex this cotton product?"

'black people think they couldn't have been slaves like 200 years ago. they be all 'hey ni gger, bail this cotton', and i'll be like 'yo, suck my d ick master!'...the first n igga off the boat said that s hit. *immitates cracking of a whip*..starts walking away 'yo, i'll bail your cotton, just keep that s hit away from me!'
