Precisely the kind of person who will shrivel into obscurity over the next 4 years and lose all credibility.

Being on TV and having an audience doesn’t make a person capable or insightful. This country elected a black man twice, overwhelmingly. Whatever you think about his policies, racists didn’t spring up to deny him his ambitions, this country has been fucking great to the Obamas. They’re worth over a $100million and are among the most privileged in our society. So that happened. America rejecting Kamala Harris because she was a worse candidate than Hillary is not racist. It was inevitable.

Somebody should ask her if she thinks Lorne Michaels is racist. Watch her strip her gears backpedaling away from naming the white guy that signs her checks as a racist.

Or if her white cast members are.

She gave herself some wiggle room by saying most, not all. There's no way someone like Michaels votes Republican, so he's probably AOK in her eyes.

So they Community Noted that post that these are comedians.

Does it seem like they're just going for laughs here?

It's funny because I have the Mummers parade on in the background and I noticed it so I had a feeling others would too.

(For context, the parade has gotten criticism in the past for blackface. On the other hand, it's a costume parade and participants dress up and use makeup of all kinds of colors.)

It's a Philadelphia new Year's Day parade where they dress up in all kinds of costumes and so forth. They've been doing it for like a hundred years. It's a tradition in certain segments of Philadelphia.

Jason Kelce dressed up as one.

Long, about 45 minutes, but really interesting. Watching white liberals argue with black conservatives on the problems of the black community is quite... something. They do a topic change every ten minutes or so.

As an aside, this Middle Ground from Jubilee series is really cool. They approach a ton of different topics, with representatives from both sides.

One more thing... I think the picture shown on the video face is kinda funny, and quite true. The black fella looking passionate about what he's talking about, but the white conservative is sitting there closed off with his arms crossed and a disgusted look on his face. Pictures speak a thousand words, right?

Edit: Even though it's long, watch to the end. That Alec dude? Whooooaaaaaa.

That was really good. That dude in the Hawaiian shirt made me want to punch my laptop. My wife got mad watching it mainly because of the whole savior idea.

Yeah, that was that Alec dude. Extreme POS. That dude was a serious closet racist. Did you notice how he kept climbing over that older black lady and not letting her talk? Then got pissed when called out on it, stating "Because I have to". Then at the end of the video when he was sitting beside her? The look on his face looked like he wanted to strangle her.

I was impressed with that young black kid, Chandler.
