through your veins. it is the same blood that was in the veins of your ancestors for a thousand generations. for many years nobody really said anything against him. so the assumption is that most people in harrison must agree because we never said that he doesn t speak for us. we don t think that we re perfect. we believe that we probably have the same amount of racists as most communities. that s good to know. no more, no less. but you just have one very loud one. this is what he does, 24/7. hi, guys, i want to introduce you to our guest today. this is kamau bell. hi. hi. i m just going to hug you. patty is part of a task force that is working to counter what she says is thomas robb s agenda. to discourage anyone who s not white from moving into town. as i m driving into town, there s this sign that seems like it s telling me to turn around. you know. that s a victory for them. that s exactly what they want. you know, they didn t even have
i have heard about this gentleman in town named thomas robb. he talks as if he s speaking for harrison. he s not. i d say if you took a survey 99% of the people that live here wish he would shut up. okay. thomas robb, have you heard that name before, first of all? yes. you kind of look like i said lord voldemort. you got really like don t say it three times, he might show up like beetlejuice. this town is real peaceful. and any drama that people want to bring here, it s not right. it s just not right. there i was, harrison, arkansas. and i heard all about this guy thomas robb. he s the leader of what is apparently the knights of the ku klux klan. it s so racist that the kkk added a fourth k just to took up the racism a notch. this is the kkkk. [ laughter ] i was like i ve got to meet this guy. i had to call him up and go hey, man, can i come to your creepy compound? i didn t actually call him up. that would be weird.
come on in. hello. hello. howdy. how are you? rachel, this is kamel. kamau. hi. nice to meet you. this is our conference hall. and we do have church services here. we have some nice families and, you know, a lot of young people and children and so forth. what else do you do up here? well, we operate our internet television news program. ah, yes, robb s web series. not ready for prime time. or any time. you and i are in a race war today and the blacks are and the minorities are winning. the whole point of black history month is to make white people feel guilty. white people are not going to walk quietly away into the night. so now i get to watch an actual taping of their next episode. right there on set. and that s rachel s young son running the whole operation. they gave us permission to show his face, but we re going to blur it anyway. i still have hope for him. three, two, one.
i appreciate it it s not a compound. i m sorry. to your church. thank you for welcoming me to your church. and you know, next week i ll bring my friends and we ll have a barbecue. probably not. okay, all right. bye-bye. drive careful. thomas robb and his new klan may not be as scary as the old klan, but i still wouldn t want them living on the outskirts of my town. by wearing a suit and tie, by presenting hate speech as folksy news, he s trying to take the kkk mainstream again. and that s way more dangerous than any group wearing a hood and hiding in the shadows. but unless he picks up some ryan seacrest tv skills, i don t see it happening. this here is the real story of harrison, arkansas. it s the story of people like these who are fighting back against the ignorance of racism. i didn t think this town would be embracing of the ignorance, but i didn t know that there would be such a spirit against it.
move minorities in. so if i moved into this town and doubled the black population, how would you feel about that? because you know me. i m nice. we re talking. if i brought 35 more mes to this town and we all moved in, how would you feel about that? if that s what you want to do go for it. okay. but i hear you say go for it. i don t have control over those things. i appreciate you giving me permission. i m kidding. i understand. but how would you feel about that? would you feel like because we re getting along, we re having a good time i m not taking you home for dinner. i would invite you to would you come to my house? no. why not? why is that? i like being around my own kind. but what if i had white people there? i have no desire. you have no desire. i m a good cook. anyway. the bad news. i completely lost my appetite. the good news, pastor robb has invited me out to visit his compound. wait, that s good news?
