Okay, white supremacy violence is always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The Breakfast Club bitches. Alright, Charlene, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Well, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, February 12th goes to a political analyst named Dominique Tripp. He is a political analyst, writer, strategist, and commentator. The homie Robin at Baller Alert sent me this today. Dropping a clues bomb for Robin at Baller Alert.

What's up Robin? What's up Robin? I missed this one, but it's hilarious. See, Dominique about a week ago, from what I can see, posted on X this statement. He said, and I quote we must rid ourselves of DEI throughout every facet of society for the sake of our safety and that of our children my god now I know people had issues with DEI but when you say we have to get rid of DEI for the sake of our safety and that of our children that sounds like to me like you have a fear of a black and brown planet all

right diversity means that you not safe. The browning and blacking of America means that you not safe. The inclusion of more women, more gays, anyone who isn't a straight white male means you not safe. Why are we as a people so hell-bent on making each other uncomfortable? Okay let me ask you a question Dominique. Have you ever stopped to think how those of us from marginalized communities feel when we are the only one? When you are the lone minority amongst the majority? Have you Dominique ever seen that and said, I wonder if they feel unsafe? Why do we start getting concerned about safety when it's spaces where white folks aren't the majority? Dominique, have you ever thought about that? I'm sincerely asking. See, nobody ever cares about the one reason

in the potato salad. You know why? Because there shouldn't be no damn raisins in the potato salad, okay? And that is why we are here today, because Dominique said a week ago, we must rid ourselves of DEI throughout every facet of society for the sake of our safety

and that of our children. But this week, after watching Kendrick Lamar's record-breaking Super Bowl performance, highest-rated halftime show ever, drop one of Clu's bombs for Kendrick Lamar and Ragnation. Hmm. Hmm. After watching that performance, Dominique posted on X, and I quote,

hundreds of dancers and participants in this halftime show, and they can't manage to feature one single white person? This is pathetic. Dominique, you got to make up your mind. You told us we have to get rid of diversity, equity and inclusion in all facets of society. But when you see a black artist headlining the Super Bowl with a bunch of black dancers, now all of a sudden you want diversity and inclusion.

This is why I loved Kendrick's show aesthetically. 10 out of 10 for aesthetics, because I knew it would get these types of reactions out of people. But if you gonna piss people off, let's really piss them off. I wish he would have added to the set list, just three songs, actually four, including Money Trees,

but that's just a personal favorite. But these three, if he would have started, because of the aesthetic of that show, if he would have started with Black at a Berry, can you imagine hearing this on the Super Bowl stage? What would Dominique have said if he would have heard this? I'm African American, I'm African, I'm Black as the moon, heritage of a small village, part of my residence, came from the bottom of Man Con, my hair is nappy, my nose is big, my nose is rounded wide. You hate me don't you? You hate my people, My hair is nappy, my nose is big My nose is rounded wide

You hate me, don't you? You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture You're f***ing needful, I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey And then what if you went into... What if you went into this? Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! right after black of the berry? All smart like I. Hard dicks like ya. Bad chips like ya. Nazareth, I'm homie you.

But if God got us then we gon' be all right. Dominique is clutching these girls to him. Then Samuel L. Jackson comes out and tells him, stop, you're scaring America. You're scaring people like Dominique. You and your little homeboys gotta play it safe. This the Super Bowl, not Compton. And as soon as you heard not Compton, then you heard this.

People like Dominique heads literally might have exploded. Donald J. Trump would have signed an executive order on Monday to bring back slavery in the middle of Black History Month. Okay, listen, my point is this. Dominique, it's cool when they do it, it's a problem when we do it, all right? White artists have headlined everything for years.

And Dominique, I bet you've never said there's too many white people participating in this show. Because whiteness to you is America. And that's one of the messages Kendrick was displaying in his show, that black people are America. Not only are we America, but first of all, that's why the brothers had on the red, white, and blue. And they were up there looking like the American flag

because we are America. Okay, he was letting you know, we are all Americans. It should have made you proud, Dominique. Not to mention, black people built this country. Policies. African-Americans built this nation. I want to make sure about that. Stop the heady.

I said, black people built this country. I was doing a dramatic pause. Now, don't listen to me, listen to your president. African Americans built this nation. We built this nation. You know, you're just starting to get real credit for that. Okay, I don't know if you know that. You're just starting to get, you built the nation.

We all built it, but you were such a massive part of it. Bigger than you were given credit for. Does that make sense? Right? And so Kendrick was on the Super Bowl stage making sure black people get that credit. The moral of the story is this. You are either part of the solution or you are part of the problem. If you looked at Kendrick's performance and you saw others and not Americans, then guess what? You are indeed the problem. Please let Chelsea Handler give Dominique Trippie the biggest hee haw.

Hee haw, hee haw, hee haw. Hee haw. Where is my Chelsea hee haw? Give that up. Hee haw, hee haw. That is way too much Dan Maynard's. Chelsea acting black being all late. Okay? Ay yo. Ay yo. That is way too much Dan Maynard Chelsea acting black being all late, okay All right, you got no more

All right That's all I got. All right What you worried about cuz I mean you got a bunch of them that big give the biggest Mayo and all that I thought you was gonna go all the way with it. I think Chelsea's Chelsea's Chelsea's supplies Nah, I think Chelsea's... Chelsea's suffices. Yeah, Chelsea's suffices. That's all we need. He don't need no more confusion. No, thank you for that donkey today. Get the horns. Wake that ass up in the morning.
