Comedian W. Kamau Bell



I saw his show last night and couldn't have been more impressed. Unlike other famous comedians today (Chris Rock, Sarah Silverman, and Dave Chappelle) Kamau has a message he is trying to get out. End Racism.

Far too many people make assumptions based on race, and of course everyone does this from time to time. Kamau brought these stereotypes and assumptions to light in a comical way.

70% of crimes are commited by "black people" someone states. Do 100% of black people commit crimes? NO. Don't hate the racial group, hate the individuals that commit the crimes.

46.5% of drug abusers are Caucasian. Do 100% of white people use drugs? NO.

Far too often we group "those people" together incorrectly. Can anyone change the color of their skin (except Michael Jackson of course)? NO. But you can improve is your attitude towards people who are "different" than you through increased education.

That guy is pretty funny.

Thanks.

And just so you know I'm reopening the show with lots of new racism on November 7th.
