I thought Wilmore’s best moment was when he focused on the mug shots of young black men which the Miami police were using for target practice. Wilmore said he wasn’t surprised. Paraphrasing slightly, he said “Like I’m not surprised when Kobe hits a jump shot. That’s why you practice.”

Wilmore also spent some much appreciated words dismissing the value of having Sharpton sticking his nose into every gol durn dispute concerning minority Americans.
There are many many articulate people capable of defending the right to protest and free speech, Sharptons time has passed, he needs to find a few younger folks to nurture by sharing his experience, his errors and his dollars.

Instant classic.

Good luck Larry!! good start!

I love Larry Willmore. He’s hilarious, insightful, and very genuine. Going forward, I hope he doesn’t feel limited to only commenting on racial issues. I want to hear his opinions about everything. Colbert’s satire of right-wing punditry was the heart of his show. But he never limited himself to it, and that’s why he was brilliant,
