It doesn't do any good to just be on the side of black people. The funnier comedic position is to be on the side of oppressed people in general.
W. Kamau BellThe best version of comedy is when you can get to an issue where, at some point, you're not firmly on one side or the other, and you can see both sides. The more we become about the issues, the more successful we are.
W. Kamau BellI'm most biased about how white people have to learn to shut up when the conversation of racism comes up. White people have to learn to listen. Whether they agree with what they're hearing or not, they have to know to shut up and listen.
W. Kamau BellYou might not agree with something, but it doesn't mean you don't need to listen to it. White people have to accept that they don't always know about racism.
