I am sure many won't bother to read the article but I am going to share the monologue here:
[quote]
I love this country even though at times it doesn’t love me back. For my whole life my parents, my grandparents, me, for most black people, this system has never worked for us. But we still play ball, tried to do our best to live by the rules even though we knew they would never work out in our favor, had to live in neighborhoods that you wouldn’t drive through, send our kids to schools with books so beat up you couldn’t read them, work jobs that you wouldn’t consider in your nightmares.

I love this country as much — if not more — than you do. And don’t you ever forget that.
This disqualifies the whole monologue. What an idiotic arrogant thing to say.
I know plenty of successful black people who have integrated just fine into higher socio-economic conditions. So many others justify their poor work ethic by playing the victim card.
What did Trump say he was going to do to black people?
Did he mention taking away any of their rights?
They should only be worried if they are in this country illegally.
This whole "Trump is going to be bad for X minority or gay people" line is getting old because it's only based in hysteria.
Meanwhile 4000 people shot last year in Obama's Chicago...
Obama has been running the country for 8 years not Trump.
All this focus on Trump being bad for minorities and that they should fear Trump is just a distraction so people don't focus on how bad Obama's track record has been.
This disqualifies the whole monologue. What an idiotic arrogant thing to say.

The monologue starts as a response to a colleague who asks him if he cars about the country. The whole purpose of the show is that the parents "made it" and are an upper class black family in LA (and r
These are their stories). The character is a VP at an advertising agency.
Where did you find the victim card? In your box of sterotypes?
"Co-owner Daphne (Wanda Sykes) helpfully takes to the whiteboard to illustrate who she blames for Trump’s win: “White women!” This turns the focus on Dre’s colleague Lucy, who is asked to weigh in on why her “sisters” didn’t “turn out for Hillary.”"
Wow it's just so hip and trendy to insult whites and hate Trump!..
Not sure if you watch this show, but this episode was so spot on.

It is spot on in describing the African American victimhood myth which only seems to get more elaborate, extreme and cultish as the years go by.
