How Culture Wars and White Supremacy Go Together Like “Green Eggs and Ham” | The Amber Ruffin Show

[@12oshinko]

Can't adequately express how much I appreciate you, Amber

[@TeacherTaj]

Here here! 🍻

[@greenbeancasserole6646]

I’m sorry you can’t express that adequately. 😔

Gotta say Levine did an absolutely exceptional job for the people of Pennsylvania despite the insane opposition from the PA Senate.

[@missybarbour6885]

Agreed! She was one of the best people leading PA through this time

[@benzaiten933]

I was once casually asked if I wanted the new employee to be a man or a woman and my reply was; I don't care, the most capable person should get the job. if an octopus was the best choice then go for an octopus. the same applies here, her gender doesn't matter at all in her chosen field of work but she's excellent so people shouldn't oppose her for no reason at all.

[@Sherkalyn]

@@benzaiten933 An octopus would probably be excellent at multi-tasking, but I would definitely question their knowledge about medicine if they were to be appointed Secretary of Health.

I F'ING love watching Amber. So intelligent and teaches me something EVERY TIME. Thanks Amber and writers!

[@mireillelebeau2513]

Yep still learning with Amber

[@BigBlackRod]

Sadly though, y'all ain't the ones who need to hear this stuff...

[@meachy]

The "How did we get here(s)" are cathartic and should be necessary viewings for all US citizens.

[@snowytyler3793]

It’s so crazy that I learn more from a comedy show than the “news”. Amber Ruffin is so insightful. Truly thankful for her ❤️

[@phatboy243]

Y? U have a small computer in your pocket, u can look up anything you want...btw I luv her too❤❤

[@SimonBishop779]

@Donald Sneed - this is more than simple comedy. The issues that Amber talks about have been going on for so long now that they are hardly a laughing matter. We want these things to be known, understood, seen for the sham that they are, and updated to reflect modern society rather than the 1930s. It’s time.

[@jerkkasey]

[@Tech-ye1ul]

These are assertions. Not facts. You learned literally nothing. You heard things. And had to suffer through some absolutely torturing cringe to get those divisive assertions.

Every single “how did we get here” segment is impeccable. Some of the strongest writing of this type I see. Similar in some ways to Last Week Tonight style arguments but honestly sharper and with better delivery. Amber Ruffin and her team are making something really special

It’s honestly like the thoughts and feelings so many of us feel but can’t quite put into words explained so perfectly. I really really wish the people who need to see this content the most would see it. It’s such an important conversation.

[@perri_6]

The "people" who need to see it are too busy giving it a thumbs down.

[@clarisacalderon9555]

you know its kind of ironic because green eggs and ham's message is about someone who is afraid to try things and assumed he won't like them and goes to extremes to avoid it... but once he tries green eggs and ham it ends up being delicious and great and he wonders why he avoided it for so long.

[@Rhythmicons]

Republicans use it, but they didn't get past the first "I do not like it."

[@sweetsue4204]

There’s an award of high regard in Amber’s future. I’m certain of it. Amazing! 👍🏻

Brecklyn, there may be more then you know❣️I don’t understand everything about transgender people, but I care enough to try.

Also, leaving up the picture of Leonidas Dyer (of whom i had never heard) while you described the unspeakable history of anti-lynching bills, confused me, so i Wikipedia-ed him - and he was a hero in many ways, and should be celebrated for his progressive political agenda. i wonder if anyone else needed that clarification...

[@ammaleslie509]

I wasn't confused.
