The older i get the more i really start to appreciate DL.

[@mrwallace713]

I always thought he was corny when I was younger. Now that I am older, I overstand his jokes. Truthful and funny at the same time. Ppl only understand at their level of perception.

[@MisterQG71]

✊🏽✌🏾

[@Flow349]

Tyron Wallace i was the SAME way

[@cwill5829]

I shared the exact same sentiment Tyron. Now I try to listen to DL on a daily.

[@chishaun8466]

F.L.O.W. - I swear g

[@preacher_chick]

DL, I have watched several interviews of yours back to back, I will purchase your book in support of you standing so firm for our people, I have seen you stand firm and toe to toe unwavering, you earned my respect bless you ✊🏾🙏🏾💜

[@Kweschunn]

I always felt Dl is so underappreciated as a comedian....hes like the less famous version of Chris Rock both arent the funniest comics out there but both say whats on their mind and speak the realest shit and it turns out to be funny, i love their style

William Jones satire

[@donnamarie7515]

William Jones DL has a son and he is afraid! He was brought to tears at the thought of his boy being abused or ENCOUNTERING police! DL stays up at night until EVERY child of HIS comes inside! This is from his mouth and YES he is afraid!!

[@calvinmack7124]

I appreciate how real DL is. People hate to hear the truth and the reality we really live in. Stay woke people, knowledge is power!!

[@MQuis84]

We should had him on longer but I understand

[@shymaritevon]

I must get this book cos I love DL he is so educated nd especially the way he puts his words for us GED dudes to understand. Thnx for what u doing for our communities brother

[@a_real_one2000]

It’s when folks say just comply & you won’t b abused... I grew up seeing officers stop /frisk people (you fit blank description) asked ID. Individual goes for wallet & the officers grabbed his arm or slammed them into a wall because they moved to fast.

[@a_real_one2000]

Nick Ahhh no one has attitude. I pointed out how simple complying is not the question only problem... it an individual is not getting physical but they are running their “mouth off” out of annoyance. That’s not a enough to for an officer to use force.

[@andrejordan2016TheDeuce]

Nick Ahhh FUCK YOU

[@donnamarie7515]

Nick Ahhh So snatching your own wallet out of your pants. This is grounds to murder someone??

[@eaddyquincy5535]

Nick Ahhh maybe you should watch the video were the Trooper shot the guy in South Carolina and he compiled

[@ravensmallwood9298]

Nick Ahhh that’s ridiculous! White people are so entitled! You shoot someone for being mad that you’re harassing them? For not calling them sir? Wtf no one owes y’all anything.

[@oliverlacey3765]

Brother D.L is one of our many voices of our community! He has never wavered in the struggle for justice! Thank you D.L we appreciate you and you matters to us!

[@t4Ujesus3]

Great interview DL

[@Quettasbedhead]

Such funny advice he needs to keep writing books

[@conniepayton-nevels2685]

I absolutely love how clear DL is with his intentions and comedy! 😘❤️🥰

[@m.a.4630]

I just love him 🤗

[@cocoatea6696]

Hands down. DL was the BEST...of the Kings of Comedy .RIP to Bernie Mac, loved him. Much respects to Ced. Not much to say about Steve Harvey, because Ive never thought he was funny and shouldntve been a part of TKOC But DL was THEE BEST. And is still funny as hell. Keep doing you DL. With your Farmer hat and all 😀

[@aarongray1981]

Here is my two cents, I have had mostly good interactions with police but i also know my story doesn’t speak for everyone. DL has some good points here but I am determined not to treat every encounter with police as if I’m going to die. Also in our communities I’ve more more negative interactions with our own people than I’ve had with the police. Simply put, both sides could use some work.

[@chalescfisher6267]

D. L Hughley is funny AF... Has always been that way!

[@lw7379]

I Love this guy! Funny, smart, truth teller! 🎤Speak on it D. L.!!!! ❤

[@mrsrunmemymoney497]

This was great thank you and love you D.L and Sway you're so right he has always been my favorite when others didn't like him back in the 90s when he would say YOU NEED JESUS!!!

[@DeborahABell-uy1mh]

Thank you for your book

[@andreholmes6880]

Thank you Sway and DL!!!!

[@briattnybrittany6843]

He's right and it's so sad. If there were 2k poodles in cages it would be a different story...

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

Brittany Cooper Sad, but not exactly different, when there's mass indifference to millions of cows, calves and bulls slaughtered every day so people can enjoy dead animals as their meal. Come on guys! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO TAKE THE BLINDFOLD off and protect all creatures. And btw, the violence animals feel goes directly into the food you eat. When you don't have a second thought for animal violence, you can understand why human life is taken soooooooooo cheaply. 🙏🏼 ✌️🌈✌️

[@blackequitynetwork1669]

So many gems! 💎🔥💎🔥

[@hotfries8589]

DL Hughley 💯💯💯

[@dabishop9716]

[@Diligently2U]

DL has LEVELED UP ☝.. Yes!!

[@bmguninc]

[@ThaboMashiloane]

Safe Music = Spice Girls, Dangerous = Salt and Pepper!!! Wow. LOL.

[@louislark4506]

From my perspective, DL Hugley is a hilarious, comedic, politically and socially cognizant comedian. To address the police diabolical inhumane system is salient particularly in this Trump' s racist epoch. I am going to purchase this book. Hugley tells the TRUTH!

[@JenJHayden]

no one does it better.

[@anessalove1537]

Always a thumbs up for DL!

[@lakearrowheadhomebuilders1308]

I love you. love your book. This white women grew up in South Central, and taught school in So, Central and I have seen police violence.

[@essentialoilqueen6345]

You know how many white boys I've seen riding slow with their rap music playing loud with windows down? Why black people can't play their own music loud? Smh.

[@miketrav]

Cause black people play Their rap music loud while carrying a loaded gun and driving on a suspended drivers license and have active warrants . It’s little bit of a difference my friend

[@nirvarene25us]

@@miketrav Are u serious?

[@jenbradley4728]

I appreciate DL mentioning this I have a 26 year old son who has Aspergers Syndrome, he is for the most part very independent but he also needs our support. I often have conversations with him about this very subject. He lives on his own little townhouse in a very nice neighborhood the neighbors know him very well, but I have to remind him to never take his trash out or check his mailbox after dark and he is like why, then I have to explain to him that he could possibly be accosted by the police and possibly end up severely hurt or dead. It is very sad that we have to have these conversations, but that is the reality in which we live.

What does being a human being has to do with making a change or difference.

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

sami sadler Legislation, meditation, contemplation, deliberation......no other species can do these types of things that those in human form can. Sure we can go through life eating, sleeping, mating and defending like the animals do. There's no big difference, right? So actually why, then, do humans kill animals for food? We haven't got the best natural ability to hunt and kill like a savage tiger or lion. We have ability to grow a garden or pick fruits and vegetables or harvest grains. And we tend to examine our existence, and think and use our intellectual gifts to figure out why we live, who we are, is there a way to be peaceful, happy, have good relationship with the Lord, create music, write books, paint, and have a life that is not just based on the flesh, but on the spiritual realm. That's why we are human. Don't waste these gifts on living like the animals do. It's not going to bring peace or happiness. 🙏🏻

Got alot of love for DL Hughley.

[@trksanhoes]

DL da shiznit Saw him @ Stand up live az. On anotha note Was n da Murda dubs few days ago and holleein @ Big Burger. #TOWNBIZ

[@wandahwisdom5646]

cites *"...you can be standing stark-raving still and LIFE will still happen to You."* paraphrased... me think, from one of the late great #JCaliforniaCooper's books. #DLHughley, find the sista that went to Yale, and her classmates called the cops on her for "sleeping" in the of the shared areas of the school. Then find that other case in another CT school, where the sista's roommate was defiling her food and beauty products in ways that's unimaginable to sane people! What are the "how-to's" for the Sane to avoid the Insane in those kooky contexts??

[@kasnarfburns210]

The guy who was talking @ 16:55 who said you cannot judge a book by its color despite being shot by a black guy with an automatic weapon, he admitted to trolling in criminal circles. What does race have to do with it?

[@vickifellows3011]

KeEps it REAL!!!

[@lucysphotosfromar]

I am an old white woman who lived in L. A. and was a cop during some of the roughest times. But at the beginning I was told always be firm but fair. I lived by that advise for the next 21 years and had minimal problems dealing with every type of person. Times have changed some and I attribute the latest disrespect and incivility to the attitude of the man a few people voted for and is in the W.H. now. During the time Obama was quietly running the country people were treaty with dignity and respect. Since that has changed people with anger and hatred seem to feel that they can get away with saying and doing whatever they want. This is showing in both women on pool watching duty and a few cops. As long as you have a man in the highest office in the nation acting like a spoiled nasty three year old calling people names and embarrassing our country around the world this attitude is going to filter down to the less intelligent people on the streets. I thank D. L. Hughley for his new book and bringing these problems to the forefront. Already downloaded from Audible and ready to enjoy.

You don't need to read a book to know the answer to that. Just don't go to America. Like Jeff Sessions said, "If you want to keep your children... don't come to America."
