You know my issue with, um, uh, like,

cultural, like, breaking of the law is that there's no determined punishment for it. So you see like now Trudeau this happened 20 years ago they're exposing like he did this he did a bunch of these blackface costumes and then I'm like but what's the punishment is their thing is they're not a thing do you say sorry is sorry enough when you I think we need to start like imposing like sentencing. My proposal is, for every incident of Blackface you're caught doing, you have to spend a year in Blackface.

So you have to live as a Black person for every year of every Black because you can't just jump in for Black for like one day of Halloween and and have fun. If you're gonna have the fun of black you must also take like the shitness of that comes with being black as well. So if you're gonna do black face, then you gotta be black for one year. And that's with everything. You have to go apply for a bank loan as a black person. You have to, like, to pull you over you can't be like I'm actually white actually you should say I'm actually white and see what happens to you when the policeman pulls you over and then he's like sir can I see your license he like actually I'm a white man under this skin and be like sir get out of the car I Just do everything. And I mean every part of being black.

Bank loans, life, walking through the streets, where you can live, the schools that you get. Watch full episodes and videos at the Daily Show.com.
