Mike Lester for May 04, 2016

Well I don’t get it either and I’m not in the least bit embarrassed.

I get it: it’s inappropriate to be black.

A racist stretch from Lester.

actually, according to Larry Wilmore – he did NOT call the President a “nigger” – he called him a “nigga” – which is different. Blacks use the second term with affection and whites use the first one as a slur

Larry Wilmore has turned me into a racist. I have lost considerable respect for Jon Stewart for letting Larry take over the Colbert show… At least.. Jon’s replacement is moderately funny. Larry.. all about black injustice.

So African-Americans are not equipped to be president? This seems pretty racist, and wrong considering how much better off we are than eight years ago. This is not as simply as “He can say it, he’s black” this was a code shift, a show of blackness that we have not seen from this president. It also highlights a type of tension that all African Americas can relate to: being black and “being black” are two different things. This was showing Obama, a president who has been criticized for being both “too black” and “not black enough” that the community is still proud that he is a brother.

Agree!
