D.L. Hughley

Being interviewed on TV. I am trying to capture/paraphrase of few of his comments. These are not direct quotes, but as close as I was able to capture them. Comedians are so often the best purveyors of truth.

George Bush's legacy was so bad it got a black man elected. Let's hope the GOPee and Trump's legacy is getting a woman elected.


All through history we were told anyone can grow up to be president. Now that it has happened to a black man, they're pissed off.


They out Harriet Tubman on the front of the twenty, but they had to put a white man on the back to be her minder.

"All through history we were told anyone can grow up to be president. Now that it has happened to a black man, they're pissed off."

So painfully true. And, to my dismay, the "they're" in the last sentence has proven not to be exclusively RWers.
