African american Quote by Keegan-Michael Key

“I have always, or for the most part, identified myself as a biracial person. Much to the chagrin of a lot of African-American people that I meet, because it's almost like there's a betrayal, an intrinsic betrayal: "Don't do that, brotha, we need you. We need you here, in this fold."” quote by Keegan-Michael Key — Download Open image
