Social media has been on fire after the latest hashtags #TerenceCrutcher and #KeithLamontScott were gunned down by police. Celebrities have also took their stance in the matter and one person who had a lot to say was talk show host Sheryl Underwood.
On yesterday’s episode of “The Talk”, Underwood gave a emotional speech to what she says should be the answer to ending police racially profiling and killing Black people. Co-host Julie Chen questioned if there was a way to stop racial profiling and Sheryl and Aisha Tyler responded:
Aisha Tyler: “We have a legacy of racism in this country and if we don’t start calling it racism then we can’t fight it.”
Sheryl Underwood: “We don’t have to train the cops not to shoot white people, why you gotta train them not to shoot us?”
What really took the cake was the tearful comment she made after:
“First thing you gotta do, you gotta make it a hate crime,” said Underwood. “You gotta put people in jail, when you shoot somebody under the color of authority you need to lose your job and you need to lose your livelihood and you need to lose your freedom. […]
Remember there are good police officers out there and the ones that are not, they need to go jail. Don’t tell me this, we got to train! Y’all white and y’all drive all the time and don’t nothing happen to y’all. And we black I’m afraid to drive my damn car!”
