Despite opening with a vice presidential debate sketch featuring Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris and Jim Carrey as the fly on Mike Pence’s head, the segment from last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live that everybody seems to be talking about this morning is host Bill Burr’s monologue—specifically his jokes about white women’s history of fair-weather white supremacy and our habit of positioning ourselves as mere bystanders to empire and exploitation.
Per Bossip:
The nerve of you white women! Listen, I don’t want to speak ill of my bitches here. I dont, but let’s go back in history here, OK? You guys stood by us toxic white males through centuries of our crimes against humanity. You rolled around in the blood money, and occasionally, when you wanted to sneak off and hook up with a Black dude, if you got caught, you said it wasn’t consensual. Yeah! That’s what you did! That’s what you did! So, why don’t you shut up, sit down next to me, and take your talking to?
Judging by Twitter, he seems to have touched a nerve with a quite a few of us!
