and i do think at this point democrats that may be the strongest thing they have to mobilize their trump supporters. certainly trumpism is rampant in the gop. alonzo, i got to ask you about some blowback that shore and others who have supported this have gotten, including this piece who argues that dems are preparing to abandon black voters again. what s your take? how would you rate how democrats have done so far in the first year they ve had control across the board with some of the core issues that matter to black voters? they ve stalled on getting the voting rights act done. we don t know where that s going. police reform also stalled. how do you think they re doing when it comes to trying to win over black voters that arguably delivered the white house to joe biden and georgia to the two senators? well, stacey abrams delivered, so yeah, that was definitely, you know, the power of a black woman and black
lgbtq+ employees who brought up real concerns. so when you make a blanket statement like our content cannot cause harm, then the contra positive is our content cannot do good and i don t think they would ever assert that. alonzo, helen lewis had this to say. she called it a rorschach test. some people see chappelle as a rich comedian attacking a marginalized community. others see him as a black comedian attacking the elite consensus. are both sides valid? are there some that shouldn t be the subject of jokes. the way chappelle described it is he has no problem with trans and other communities. he has a problem with white people. well, you could look at it either way if you want, but his entire career has been black comedian poking fun at the elite class. it has been always been there for him. you know, there s been so much
demeanor is like across his entire career. this is not a shock to anybody who s known jon gruden. people who do this in writing, this is how they talk and normally express themselves. and the fact that it took a week to get this guy out and exposed and dealt with tells you that there are a lot of problems with the nfl. the entire league should be investigated, frankly, at this point to see what their workplace culture is like. we ll have to leave it at that. thank you very much for joining us tonight. for you are a viewers in california, catch alonzo at flappers in burbank this weekend. you can tell them ayman sent you because we might not be able to get alonzo back if he blows up and gets a netflix special. you never know. one detroit reporter is setting the bar for future live hits. i ll explain it after the break.
