| I'm W. Kamau Bell, host and executive producer of United Shades of America on CNN. Ask me anything! Posted: 29 Apr 2021 12:10 PM PDT I'm a 6' 4", African American, Heterosexual, Cisgender, Left-Leaning, Asthmatic, Black and Proud Blerd, Mama's Boy, Dad, and Stand-Up Comedian. I'm about to release the sixth season of my CNN show United Shades of America, where I travel around and talk to the people who are doing the work to make this country live up to the myths it taught us. We filmed the season during the height of the pandemic and every issue we covered tied back to that. (Even though I've interviewed the KKK, filming during COVID-19 was way scarier.) In these episodes we're talking about everything the nation is talking about, from defunding the police, to solving wealth inequality, protecting Black trans women, and reimagining what it means to "support our troops". Proof: https://i.redd.it/3cpl5yf9lrv61.jpg Thanks for all the great questions, AMA, Reddit! This W. Kamau Bell, signing off! Please check out the premiere of United Shades of America this Sunday, May 2nd at 10p ET/PT on CNN. It is all about policing. submitted by /u/CNN_Original_Series [link] [comments] |
