Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

I mean, what was yours? Because people, you had a skin disorder or something? Skin discoloration. Oh, okay. As Marlon Wayans said, I was 50 shades of black.

And then one time he told me I looked like a Rottweiler in the face because I was black and brown. And now you're just... You're just... Just brown. Taupe. Scrape the toast off. Now, Michael Blackson was actually out on a Dominican Republic Memorial Weekend when I was out there. Oh, yeah.

And I know the women were going crazy over you out there. You smashed? You f***ed something? Listen, I'm not going to say. No, I didn't do nothing. But the women were going crazy. They were? Yeah.

They were following him around. They had a full party. It was crazy. It was pretty wild out there. I had a really nice time. I bet. Do you wear condoms when you go to them kind of places? Let me tell you something.

I wear a condom to sleep when I go to them kind of places. I don't trust the women in my dreams in that country, okay? So, yeah, I got no condoms now. You always get linked to random people. Like, Carly Redd. That was the latest one. They said you were dating Carly Redd from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. You saw her in Top 5.

You was like, I gotta get me some of that. You know, man, we host our party and next thing they're saying, we go together. I'm like, where they get these things from?

I don't know. I didn't make it up. I'm just saying, I saw that she said it wasn't true. She said she was homeless. Yeah, she said she was homeless. No, she said she was homeless dating a Z-list comic.

Damn. I'm like, does it get any lower than that? No, it doesn't. It is. I'm like this. But you have been doing some weird things. Like, first of all, how are you going in on A-Town? That's not nice.

You know what? He was trying to roast A-Town. Listen, man. I don't care, you know? Here's my thing, right? It all started. I had this jacket, and I wore this jacket one time. You had this jacket?

No, no. I had this jacket on. A week later, I looked on social media, and this guy is wearing the same jacket. I'm like, where? Why? He getting $5,000 a show, plus his monthly check. You guys shop at the same place. I say, you know, I'm burning my shirt.

I haven't worn that jacket since. So then he replied back. He said, and that's how he talk. He got shark teeth. They have really bad dental plans. What's up with the Barack Obama plan? They don't have the special kids? I don't know the special ed sensations.

Get it. I don't know. So he's like, he came back. He came back at me and said, well, the reason why you had that jacket on is because I'm your son. Because you're Michael Black's son. I said, all right, you're going to get it. He said you were his son.

Yeah, he said I was his son. So I just went on him and his partner. Snacks. Snacks. I said he looked more like a full meal. Did people give you flack? Like, hey, man, you can't be picking on the slow kids. Yeah,. Snacks. I see he look more like a full meal. Did people give you flack? Like, hey, man, you can't be picking on the slow kid.

Yeah, I don't. I pick on everybody. I don't care. He picked on Welvin. You picked on Welvin, too? No. Welvin, hey. Welvin get $5,000 a show, too.

Yeah, Welvin. But Welvin, damn. What am I doing wrong? I know I'm cuter than Welvin. Please, what? Welvin look like he and his dentist got a restraining order on each other. He and his dentist.

I mean, Welvin just look a hot mess. Did you guys see that girl that was kissing him on the mouth and now she's embarrassed? The video is out everywhere. She should be embarrassed. Begging people to take it down. Please take this down.

He getting kisses. I can't get nothing, man. I got it. Do you feel like we laughing at these people? Or should we be applauded? No, honestly, I'm happy for them. Okay. Because, you know, there's nothing like special people finally getting married.

No, no, I don't mean it like that. That's what makes America so great is that you could be popular in whatever you are, whatever you do. And it's good for those special kids. Now, other special kids don't feel special. But don't it kind of bother you because you're a talented comedian and you've been out here grinding all these years. And this guy come out

of nowhere. You and him might walk in the room and everybody be like, oh, hey, town. You be like, you motherfuckers I've been out here. I'm not a hater. I know you are. Yes, I don't like it. I know you are. I tell you the truth. I don't hate. They doing something. You know, I just feel happy for the other specials.

I want everybody to feel special. I came from another country. People made fun of me when I first came to America. I mean, they still do. I mean, you go on social media. They kill me all the time. But I made it happen for the Africans. Let these guys make it happen for the special people.

You do it for the people that breathe their skin. Everybody feel good about themselves. I feel like people laughing at them, though, not with them. You know what I'm saying? You know, I think they've passed that. Nah, they're just happy for them with a mixture of sorry for them with a mixture of glad you made it. Just, you know.

But what happens when this all wears off now? Now I'm not. They go back to being special and getting their monthly check. Their monthly check. That's all. It's not in here. My goodness. Nah, I think as long as they got to reinvent themselves every time. now I'm not they go back to being special and getting their monthly check their monthly check that's all my goodness nah I think as long as

they gotta reinvent themselves every time you can't just keep you know got him now he gotta do other things you gotta go figure something else out

I don't know about that one buddy now he's kissing girls that's probably yeah proud to see who you could kiss I do use him as an example though cause I be like if they getting 5,000 a show

I don't wanna hear nobody complain about not being able to get no money in America. Exactly. You can figure it out. My goodness. Now, let's talk about what Akon did for Africa.

I'm very proud of Akon. Akon, you know, he's 600 million people. I can barely put light bill in my house, you know what I'm saying? Congratulations to Akon. He's doing his thing. But Akon's from Senegal, West Africa, Gambia, Ghana. We're all very dark over here. Senegal.

I thought that's where the Jewish people worship at. Senegal. Not from Senegal, West Africa, Gambia, Ghana. We're all very dark over here. Senegal. I thought that's where the Jewish people worship at. Senegal. Not at Senegal. Oh, my goodness. It's my little accent. It's okay, man. I'm sure he doesn't say Senegal properly. But the thing with Akon is he did all that.

I'm so proud of him. But I really think he really put the lights there so you could see his family after 7 p.m. They are real dark in that part of Africa, you know. But whatever reason, I'm proud of him. Congratulations. People were upset that the Caitlyn Jenner story seems to be overshadowing positive things like what Akon is doing. Yeah, Caitlyn, that's got it. And he said his kids could still call him Pop.

What kind of father are you? I mean, I guess because of the transition. You know, it's hard. It's hard to just go from calling somebody pop for 65 years the mama or Caitlin call me Caitlin would you know what the heck no she doesn't better than Bruce no I'm I'm not nothing no he bitch she. No he ho. Shim her. Mr. Miss. Sir ma'am. Or not a bitch. No motherfuckers.

I'm not. No Caitlyn. Or nothing. There used to be anything. But you have to be. I need to see vagina baby pictures before I even. I cannot be. No.

No chance. He said vagina baby pictures. God damn. What if when you were younger your dad came to you and was like, you know, I think I want to be a woman. You think you still. Nah. I'm like, Dad, man, you crazy. The village would disown you. My village would disown you.

Get the hell... You get your he-bitch shit out of here, motherfucker. You think America got too much freedom, man? Because like you said, your village would disown you. There's certain things you can't do in other countries. We just can't do that in other countries. You know what? Our diss shows in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is real strict, man. If they

caught you doing something like that, they take you to the tallest building and just drop you. That's what I heard. So what if you did a show and nothing but Caitlyn Jenner showed up? A whole room full of transgender people. They have a sense of humor. As long as they laugh at the jokes. Yes, they do. They need to, but I don't think they do.

If you get your balls cut off, you could take a joke. That is a very true statement. I agree. Well, what do you decide to say, okay, I'm not going to discuss this?

Like, do you look at the audience and say, okay, there's too many this type of person? You know what? Not anymore. I'm not going to,

I don't change my act for anybody. I'm going to give them my show. But you read the audience though and you're like, I got to do this. I do as a professional and a veteran. But you read the audience, though, and you're like... I do as a professional

and a veteran. You know, you're supposed to read your audience and make adjustments. But I'm not going to make too much adjustments. I'm not going to walk away from what people know me to do.

What kind of crowd is the toughest crowd, you would say? Toughest in what? I mean, there are some crowds that don't get the jokes. Right, like where? It'd be more like the Southern.

If you go more South, they don't get out of the jokes. You know what I mean? But you're saying we slow? I'm, there are some crowds that don't get the jokes. It'd be more like the southern. If you go more south, they don't get out of the jokes. You know what I mean? What you saying? We slow? I'm from the south. You here now. Me been here for a while. I'm saying that go way deep. Some part of Mississippi where I think they're still slaves. They probably don't even know they're free. I saw two of them.

I was like, listen, just follow me. 95 north, you're free. Let's go. So how do you feel about the white rhinos? Shut up. What the hell is a white rhino? I don't know. It's a white rhino that they keep him safe because there's only one left, and they want him to mate.

There's one male left, and they want him to mate with the other white rhinos. It's in Africa. It's in Africa. You're supposed to know what's going on. There's only five military guards securing this white rhino. Seriously? Yes. What country? I forgot. Sudan. know what's going on. If I were five military guards securing this white rhino. Seriously? Yes! What country?

I forgot. Sudan. Oh, yeah. I don't really fuck with Sudan like that. God damn, Mike. Damn, man. I thought Africa was

rep all of Africa the whole continent. Sudan, I just don't. Let them follow me on Instagram. That's fine. I don't keep up with Sudan

Sudan just got too much going on do you go back to Africa a lot I do it's been a while last time I was in Africa I was actually

in Ethiopia last about four years ago I did a show there it's been a while gotcha that's Ethiopia is nice a lot of beautiful

and great food I don't like East African food I'm more't like East African food. I'm more of a West African food. They got East Side and West Side like that now? Yeah, yeah. East Side. West Side!

I read a story that you got robbed in Atlanta. Semi-robbery, man. What's a semi-robbery? I got my shit back before I left out. Was it with a pistol? They said it had a pistol. But, you know, I didn't want to take a chance

and find out if they really did or not. Where were you? In a club. These dudes robbed me right in broad, in the middle of the club amongst people.

What you mean? Like, give me this. Inside the club, a popping club. This is how it happened. So, I'm in one section and dudes happen like, look, these guys

are big fans of yours. Can you come down and take a picture? Uh-oh. Next thing you know, I'm getting robbed section and dudes happen like, look, these guys are big fans of yours. Can you come down and take a picture? Uh-oh. Next thing you know, I'm getting robbed. That's crazy. What'd they take from you? Jewelry. But then somebody I knew knew somebody

and they ended up giving it all back. You didn't have no cash on you? I had like 300 dollars in my pocket. They didn't take that? They took that. I never got back. Damn. They took the cash too?

All that in the club? Right in the club. That's crazy that people could just rap. And then you know the people that know them. Does it make you feel like, man, I'm going to- But then later on, you know, later on, somebody that knew the person didn't come out and apologize. Hey, we didn't know it was-

They didn't know it was you. They didn't know it was you. No, not that they didn't know it was me. They didn't know that this person knew me. Oh, okay. So you had to pass. Why you ain't scream for help though? You're in the middle of the club. man why scream like a bitch hey help me please

these bitches are robbing me no these bitches are police hello yes so what did you do after that did you stay in the club or did you no no i left after that like i still got bottles on the table did you feel bad i mean I felt it never happened ever knock on wood like my biggest fans are like thugs you know what I mean so they respect it

they're real like I never have ever had a problem but these were like probably some young boys yeah some young boys it's all good

I got my stuff back now you also have a movie that just came out recently right I did my own movie I got tired of winning Hollywood to get me a movie so I did my own but I am in a movie that just came out recently, right? I did my own movie. I got tired of winning Hollywood to get me a movie.

So I did my own. But I am in a movie that's going to come out in theaters soon with Mike Epps and everybody else. It's called Meet the Blacks. It's like a spoof of The Purge. So look out for that. Oh, I heard. Yeah, yeah.

Duvall in that. Duvall, Mike Epps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Duvall, Mike Epps, Gary Owen, Mike Tyson, Charlie Murphy. We all in there. Do you ever get tired of going on auditions and stuff, man? Oh, I got tired of my Asians. We all in there. Do you ever get tired of going on auditions and stuff, man?

Oh, I got tired of my Asians. No more auditions. Auditions are culturally biased, man. How you gonna take me? I went to auditions for African parts

I couldn't even get. You know what I mean? I'm not a... Is a better African than an African? So they was hiring Americans to be African. Exactly.

Damn! Yeah, so I don't do... My whole goal is to eventually end up like Chris where I can do my own movies and do my be African. Exactly. Damn. Yeah, so I don't do that. My whole goal is to eventually end up like Chris Rock and do my own movies and do my own thing. When you say culturally biased, what do you mean? I just mean like, you know, you sent me an audition with some blonde-haired lady, you know, and you want me to please her with my acting skills.

You know, not knowing that. When you know more. When I know that, you don't understand what I could bring to this stage, what I could bring to this screen, the audience that I have, the people that want to see me. She won't understand that. She's looking for a particular type of acting skills.

Most of the time, they do auditions because they have to do it. But 99% of the time, they already know who they want. They already have the actors already. So I tell my agent, no more. In fact, I'm supposed to do one while I'm here. Like tomorrow, I said, I'm not going to be available. I don't want to do no more auditions. Do you feel like there's a lot more roles available now?

Like are you getting a lot more? Because they keep on saying that all these movie companies are trying to be more diverse now and a lot more diverse cast. So do you feel like there's a lot more out there? I mean, if they're going to call me and give them to me, yes. They probably are. I mean, there's so much more networks. I mean, Netflix is doing a lot.

A lot. And then, I there's so much more networks. I mean, Netflix is doing a lot. Love Netflix. A lot. And then, I mean, so many more networks. So, yeah, there's a lot more stuff going on. What if you miss your blessing, man? What if it's that one audition you'd be like, I ain't going on, but that'd be the one that changed everything. Because I do always hear these amazing stories.

I could read a script and be like, the one that want me to audition today, tomorrow, is for like an Atlanta rapper. Where am I going? I'm going to need to eat a lot of cornbread. No, I can't. Eat a lot of cornbread. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Eat a lot of cornbread. Hey, shout it, man. Got that? No, infinite bean on that. Got that? No, I can't do that. I'll be wasting my time. And the cast of Agents time.

And you've been around for a long time. I've been around for a long time. Show me some respect. Just give me the role. Yeah, people should know what you do by now. Right, know what I do. So the move is to do your own movies now. That's the goal.

I mean, don't get it wrong. I'm getting like the, meet the Blacks. I didn't have to audition for that. The producer and the director said, let's get Michael Blackson. Let's get Lord Duvall. Let's get that. You know, so there are a few people out there that do have the respect for us. They're going to call us and put us in movies.

But you know your competition is the a towns and the well and all these got him man no you know they are trying to stop they want to do stand up stand up as a whole different world I mean those guys are trying it out and they're doing really bombing because just cuz you got a 15 second video doesn't mean you gonna go on stage and entertain a bunch of mature audience those guys that are watching videos are those 14 15 year old kids online if you would have paid 30 $40 of 40 year old people that work hard for their money not come up here they're putting a wig on and doing every time they're stuck they're not going for all my colleagues. You better say no disrespect to the retards.

Not A-Town and Welvin. I didn't mean that. Those are my homies. Those are your homies. No, they're really my homies. A-Town, my homie from Philly. And now I live in L.A. So Welvin is now my homie in L.A., you know.

He was in Summer Jam. Like, everywhere he goes, he's kissing everybody in the mouth, man. Giving women gingivitis instantly. Gingivitis. Instantly hysterectomy in the mouth

Six shows. Wow. That's about 80 grand right there. I pitch house for it. Don't be saying that crap on TV now. No, that's good. Because I went to Caroline's a couple of weeks ago, and sometimes comedians don't sell out.

It was funny. I had a huge argument about child support yesterday. Because some guys... No, not bad. We took it out of court. I paid her back. Okay, so you agreed on something.

We agreed on something. Some guys feel like child support is like the worst thing in the world when a woman takes you to court. It is. Child support is for deadbeat dads, not father that want to be in a kid's life. No woman. Okay.

And, you know, she originally, she did go to court, and she did it just because we weren't together anymore. And, you know, the court thing is a hassle. No woman. Okay. And you know, she originally, she did go to court and she did it just because we weren't together anymore. And you know, the court thing is a hassle. It takes your time. She got tired of going in and out of there

every two, three months. I got tired of going. So we decided to take her out of court. She never had to take me to court. I love my kids to death. In fact,
