    Just destroy Confederate statues and give paid family leave for all Americans. Their 13% of the population can sleep now.

    Cheebus could they get a cheese’er black guy. Its like getting a literal guy who attends kids parties as “bozo the clown” to be the “black representative” of your show… nice

    I mean we all are suffering as Americans. However the summer of 2020 was uniquely traumatizing. Like I can’t get it together and something else on top of seems to be a thing now

    Highways, sleep, emojis. I wish I could find one thing that is not racist this week. Oh wait. Late night talk show/comedic hosts. Thank you Stephen, Jimmy F., Jimmy k., Seth and Jim C. Thank you for your diversity. (Sorry Trevor) I almost forgot. Thank you Sam for being white.

    Genuinely respect the new pronoun indicator next to the interviewee’s name. I hope more mainstream shows start to pick it up.

    From a white man and his white friends, thank you! Racism is the facet of political nonsense, and individual incompetent Karen/ Kevin ignorance. Police are making fools of us all
