Ending Racism in About an Hour -
"I've thought about racism my whole life'" says Stand up comic, W. Kamau Bell three quarters of the way through his one man comedy routine - personal narrative: Ending Racism in About an Hour. Indeed, he has much to say about racism and most it (if not all) is very funny.
The show opens with a slide show with Bell still behind the stage and the audience is invited to ponder certain questions like: What is a post-racial America? the top 5 ways for black people to end racism (his answer seems to be 1-4: BET) He takes issue with BET a few times during the show as he does with Fox news, Glen Beck, the republicans...
His insights into race in america are very smart and laugh out loud riotous. He talks about Obama and the first black presidency often citing that when (racist) americans finally got over the fear of his blackness, it had to focus on his middle name Hussain and his possible tie to muslim culture.
"Who do you thank for the Obama presidency?" His answer: Oprah (among many). "Look under your chair, you'll find Barack Obama."
"i wanted a first black president who wanted revenge," he told the audience.
