Black leaders protested DL Hughley’s show this past weekend in Fort Worth, TX after the comedian-actor called the women of the Rutger’s basketball team, the “ugliest, nappy headed women” he had ever seen during his appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Hughley addressed the black leaders in a statement:
“I believe that freedom of speech is a zero-sum proposition. Too many times I have watched clowns like these pretend to speak for the masses. I can only speak for me,” Isn’t there a child you can help teach to read, a war to help stop, an unjustly accused man you can help out of jail? I will not apologize for telling a joke about the world as I see it.”
