Last night, “Saturday Night Live” roasted several high-profile people who were the subject of controversy over the past week including Congressman Matt Gaetz, Lil Nas X and YouTuber David Dobrik.
First-time host and Oscar nominee Daniel Kaluuya opened the show with a monologue about race and racism. “I know you’re hearing my accent and thinking, ‘Oh no, he’s not Black, he’s British!’” he said. “Let me reassure you that I am [both]. Basically, I’m what the royal family was worried the baby would look like.
“People ask me what’s worse British racism or American racism,” he added. “Let me put it this way. British racism is so bad, white people left. They wanted to be free to create their own kinds of racism. That’s why they created Australia, South Africa and Boston.”
