Cast on Trump, race and fame

transgende­r issues, obviously race, police brutality, gun culture. At a time when even someone like Dave Chappelle is getting “dragged” for certain jokes, did you ever worry about what you can or can’t say?

STEPHEN: With our show, we talk about being real. With the Montague episode (a debate over race and gender on a Charlie Rose-like talk show), we were just trying to show a real thing, and it wasn’t about being preachy. It’s just reflecting the world we live in.

DONALD: To pretend like there is not racism, colourism, sexism, killing, all the worst parts of humanity in that area, is doing a disservice to black people and humanity.

If you don’t like some of the (expletive) that’s in the show, stop taking music out of our schools, stop making money out of our areas. I just think that’s a problem Millennial­s have – things should be this way. (Holds up iphone.)

For you to even have this phone, a slave had to make it. Confront that. Deal with that.

Don’t sit here and be like

“We should censor it and make everything beautiful”. Because it’s not beautiful out here.

That’s a white problem, to be honest. I don’t think any black person is watching the show being like, “You can’t do that”.

It’s: “Yeah, that’s my uncle”.

Or: “Yeah, that’s some real (expletive)”.

I don’t have to clean that up for you. You have to deal with the fact that that’s out there. I can’t change that, really. I can just show you. – The New York Times
