[@beantownie6177]

The brilliant mind of DL

[@jehceeeh4714]

Hip-Hop is a huge reason there's a big culture shift. Rappers/Artists are the new Rock stars.

[@coachlajolla4296]

I agree 100% with what DL say's

[@larissad2335]

[@rzarks]

Who's silhouette is that behind him?

[@PinkyakaAyannaj]

HOW IS IT THAT I MISSED THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF HATE ON THIS THREAD

[@cameundermayne]

What an opening line: "Almost had a microphone in my ass man".

[@arethawalker1724]

DL speaks the truth!!!!

[@davidmelson5279]

Stop talking when he heard sirens lol

[@GeoffBournes]

[@lnb252]

[@lakewoodforever9198]

[@IKingEntertainment85]

[@GeoffBournes]

[@reginaldperry2895]

Bro keep it real don't let anyone change u keep telling Yah words

[@Kimokeo100]

They claimed they Hated his ideas & agenda even when he put forth/espoused THEIR ideas and agenda. ___ ya almost Lost Me with that 'N_word_nonsense' and that 'Love_the_Clintons_craziness', but, [other than that] Well Said & Well Done DL Hughley

[@heatherbonneau3799]

I wish DL would stop mumbling and speak louder! Other than that good truths pointed out.

[@willieanderson7224]

brother there's more up north then the south ... they do it behind closed doors

[@queenshaasiabeautifulearth2223]

Willie Anderson I just Talked about that..I rather know than not know💯💯💯

[@jeshuaxlcollins5296]

Interesting

[@sick2myst0m4ch]

I've been in dl's house

[@4thandinches]

DL Hughley's new book: "My wonderful times pitching and catching with my equally racist lover, Bathhouse Barry".

[@sneakypete139]

Wow!!! You're very intelligent!!!!

[@deloresmatt8643]

What? You’ve got to be kidding! Define a disgrace to humanity; one who lies, one who cheats, one who is petulant, one who makes fun of disabled people, one who espouses hate, one who steals, I could go on but it’s not necessary. Examine yourself. What are you talking about?

[@stephenpowers51]

A is still OL. Well I never... Very glad to have found Mr Hughley, smart guy (apart from wearing a hat indoors).

[@emilio2647]

Steve W and here we are now rejoicing over Biden's victory.of president elect.

[@joshualumwanji3491]

why is he wearing lady glasses though?

[@Max2U]

No, he isn’t. Those glasses rock!!!!

[@RichiePittsburghtv]

D.L. a bit misinformed

[@brainsareus]

A lot of very good stuff,along with some stupid shit. DL's insights are gr8,but his generalized ideas about politics,can be silly as shit.

[@lnb252]

everyone knows there's no absolutes,you just didnt like what he said

[@brainsareus]

Big L and ........everyone knows[well,not really],that there are truths and fallacies,along a spectrum,too. Absolutes,are not the standard,baring certain obvious moral precepts [like killing etc.] and,it's not about whimsical "liking",it's about objectively evaluating. His apologies for the Clintons and Obama,are absurd;since THEY have instituted and continued Nafta,and the prison industrial complex. Pretty much,all he says about the GOP and Fox,are true. now there ........you've got insane absolutes.

[@lnb252]

brainsareus he apologised for the clintons and obama?

[@kngknowledge7051]

Give Obama A C- And DL I Care About Your Record in Policies More Than Your Identity Political

[@deloresmatt8643]

What grade do you give Trump.

[@dextersmithbsee]

The only thing Obama ever did for me was to provide a free cell phone when I was out of job and had no place to stay. This coming from a Georgia Tech trained electrical engineer. These people are a disgrace to humanity.

[@bridallejohnson1729]

You should have trow it away why did you take the phone foolish one

[@deannaboozer-cohen6308]

stick to comedy

[@bridallejohnson1729]

What are you sticking too nothing?

[@timmiller4326]

DL brought all this shit home...love this brother

[@GeoffBournes]

how?!
