Katt Williams Talks Donald Trump, Black Lives Matter & Why Kim Davis Doesn’t Belong in Jail
The #BlackLivesMatter Movement:
I don’t believe that [Black Lives Matter] is something that you say unless a certain percentage, a large percentage of your population, feels like this might be news to people. I think it’s not something that is ever said unless the situation is at such a critical point that you would need to say something as remedial as that. Our history proves that you might need to say that.
The only reason that this is important is because it’s an important conversation and it does have to be acknowledged that [black lives] do matter. There are too many circumstances that I could list that it would appear like they don’t matter. They certainly don’t matter equally.… As soon as they matter enough, nobody will feel the need to say it.”
If he categorizes his upcoming tour as a “humorous take on dark themes:”
Comedy goes two ways: We can either get together and we can talk about absolutely nothing for an hour, or we can make the attempt to have a little deeper conversation while still getting those same laughs in. That’s the goal. … If I had better answers, I wouldn’t be a comedian anymore. I would be a civil rights activist or some type of leader or something.
