Joel Kim Booster Says MLK Would Use an iPhone | ZIWE | SHOWTIME

[@TheeTage]

Ziwe is really a breath of fresh air, just can't get over her.

[@Everything_Ju]

They would be the most hilarious couple. I want a short series of Ziwe and JKB going on dates throughout NYC.

[@siiiiiuu7]

What I think flew right by a lot of people’s heads is that his answer is the textbook answer a lot of black ppl give (at least on social media) when confronted with their own racism against other groups. Like, you’ll see a post about a blatantly racist remark or violent hate crime (where the perpetrator is black and acting towards another racial/ethnic group) and majority of the comments will be black accounts saying nearly verbatim to what Joel said: “black people aren’t capable of being racist because this system doesn’t grant us power… we can only be prejudiced”. So basically a dude shouting “go back to your country, you _______” and attempting to kill them isn’t technically racist to some people lol. So it’s even more ironic and naively hilarious that Ziwe called him out for answering that way… bc it’s actually done all the time *awkward head scratch*

[@beatm6948]

@@siiiiiuu7 it's different definitions of racism. The former referred to in your comment i consider institutional racism, which black people are not capable of. However, interpersonal racism is different.

If Ziwe ever lands another show I would LOVE to see them cohost together🙌🏽 they have great on screen chemistry and bounce off each other well so I think they can pull of even hosting the MET Gala together, that’s be HILAIRIOUS

[@russellhfilm]

"I'm an incredible guest on this show." 😂

[@camille9803]

King was a great supporter of Bayard Rustin. Rustin was one of his main organizers and was standing right next to King during the March on Washington. When Rustin expressed fears of being outted by the FBI and of being possibly blacklisted, King reassured him and kept him in his company despite threats from J. Edgar Hoover's goons.

[@Fiyeroification]

I think the joke was that's what he was taught, not what the truth was (trying to be provocative back at Ziwe)

[@rannierunsfast]

Explain why MLK agreed that homosexuality was a "problem to be solved", and sided with Catholicism on it?
