It is hard for a black man to just be himself. We spend so much time in defense of something that is indefensible because there is nothing to defend.
We're taught Lord Acton's axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don't believe it's always true any more. Power doesn't always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals.
I first pitched the idea of doing a series of cartoons based on Bible stories. They didn't much like it.
