"You move that camera two inches to the left, you'll catch at least one brother in a hairnet!"




You move that camera two inches to the left, you'll catch at least one brother in a hairnet!

JON STEWART: Look, don't you think adding a few black faces could help Romney with the black vote?

LARRY WILMORE: Well, I guess it could help him with the black vote, the same way jumping gets you closer to the Sun. (wild audience applause and laughter) This election is not about the black vote. It's about the white vote.

JON STEWART: It's... uh... is that a thing? Is the white vote a thing? Is that....?

LARRY WILMORE: Absolutely, Jon! And back in 2008, Obama made a serious play for it. He went bowling, put on his mom jeans, threw his black preacher under the bus.

JON STEWART: He did the hope and change thing.

LARRY WILMORE: Yeah, that's right! You white guys love that stuff.

JON STEWART: Well, we do, it's very nice.

LARRY WILMORE: True, it's nice, which is why he won, with 43% of the white vote! But since then, he's inviting rappers to the White House, wife's growing collard greens in the garden, you know, he's getting all angry about the 1% and paying your fair share, and this!

He is so afraid of offending the bigoted base he only seems to go to places with white people, or of course black people in their place behind the counter.

Romney has a long history of catering to a group of people you have no clue what he really stands for. He is hollow, shallow and has no character at all.
