[Music] it's been a crazy week in america let's find out what happened president-elect joe biden this week attended a news conference in delaware and that's it he didn't attack the press or use any racial slurs or declare war on luxembourg he just went to a news conference and then he went home that man is so boring and i love it yes whoa public libraries in the netherlands recently pulled a children's book off the shelves that showed images of a racist character even crazier this was the book see he's trump he's he's a real wacky guy the world's last known white giraffe was recently fitted with a gps tracking device while a black giraffe was recently followed around walgreens that was why are these leaves locked behind this thing i'm just trying to i'm just trying to get some lotion why is it locked behind us it was announced this week they lock up all the lotion i mean it's so sad but they better because i'm a user it was announced this week that filmmaker spike lee will

the coronavirus said americans then i'll only have 99 people over for thanksgiving i'm steve urkel the american a gym owner in london last week was fined 67 000 pounds after keeping his business open during a lockdown even crazier who he was keeping it open for can you believe it it's the queen yeah what if the queen were strong we're the only show brave enough to take a look and find out no one cares and finally president trump's motorcade passed his supporters at a march last weekend and trump was seen giving two thumbs up one thumb for every month he has left an office cause he lost woo and that was the monologue i hope you guys liked it no as i just mentioned donald trump officially lost the election he is no longer going to be president yeah derek that's a good thing why are you bummed no no no it's great that guy sucks it's it's just i was just starting to finally nail my trump impression you know now no one's gonna want to hear it it's well i still want to hear it really yeah i'm sure it's great go ahead okay um let me get in the character um say hi to my nephews huey dewey and louie wait what huey dewey and louie that's not donald trump that's donald duck oh my bad uh you're right um this is america that's donald glover torture is a-okay that's donald rumsfeld this is cnn tonight that's dom lemon welcome to wallburger that's donnie wahlberg okay fine you know i'm not i'm not gonna do it anymore you know i'm doing a great job i'm doing a perfect job actually some say the best job anyone has ever done but all i hear is negativity i'm being treated so unfairly everyone's against me it's because you're jealous you're jealous of how smart and handsome i am it's sad whoa okay that's a very good trump impression yeah yeah it works it's perfect especially the part where you actually seem like you're not sad inside yeah you okay tarek yeah yeah yeah i'm good um i can't tell if you're lying but either way it's time to move on but that's fair now ever since the election there's been a lot of talk in the media online and maybe even in your white family's group chat about how it's a time to reach out to republicans who are upset about the election about how it's important to build bridges to trump supporters and to find common ground with them and i just wanted to let each and every person out there know that you 100 absolutely do not have to do that in all honesty i would suggest you don't and here's why trump supporters are racist and if you create a space for racists to thrive they will and is that something you want truly can cindy come over to your house and be like yuck mexicans because if so you are providing a safe place for her racism to flourish don't be like that giving a racist your time and energy is like giving a seed water and light it helps them grow into a flower but not a normal flower one of those terrifying flowers from little shop of horrors you don't owe them anything especially forgiveness because it's okay if you don't forgive them for what they've done separating families empowering white supremacists bringing back kid rock your sympathy and empathy are important and necessary gifts but you don't have to give those gifts away at the expense of your humanity it is not a white elephant party with your office it's a red elephant party and all of their gifts are bad and hate black people so if you needed someone to tell you this here goes you do not have to go to their weddings and you do not have to invite them to yours your uncle isn't weird weird uncles have eye patches and tell ghost stories your uncle is a racist and if he has an eye patch you have a weird uncle who is also a racist and whenever we can have thanksgiving together again you don't have to go and if you do go you can tell everybody that uncle patchy ain't [ __ ] now to be clear i'm not saying anything radical i'm not saying burn it down yet but really i'm not saying cuss everyone out i'm just saying you don't have to be sweet to everyone kindness is your gift to dole out as you see fit and i really want you to hear this searching for the good in someone who thinks nothing of you is how they condition us to become accustomed to being treated like [ __ ] don't become accustomed to being treated like [ __ ] you don't have to be nice to trump supporters you don't have to find ways to get close to them in fact you shouldn't get close to them because they're probably not wearing a mask they deserve to lose and they lost and they're allowed to be sad but you're allowed to laugh at them because after all the things they did to us this [ __ ] is funny as hell [Music] [Applause] you
