What do we need in a truly black president? Grier offers some guidance:
"Would I like a black black president? Well, of course. But I'm talking Don Cheadle black. Dijmon Hounsu black. Wesley Snipes before he f----d up his taxes black. Stephen Hawking's black-hole black. I'm talking 'can't catch a cab in New York City' black.'"
What does Grier want? Someone with "undeniable, incontrovertible, unforgivable blackness."
Grier wants a black president who, when he steps to the podium at the United Nations, causes foreign dignitaries to go, "Oh no, not this m----f----r . . . "
The video below was filmed just before the 2008 election, and Grier has a hysterical take on the McCain-Palin ticket. Grier leaves us with perhaps the most important question of our age, particularly in the aftermath of the 2010 midterm elections: "White folks, have you lost your damned minds?"
Grier is one funny dude, and he will convince you that we still are a long way from having a black president. He also helps ring out a crappy year with some welcome guffaws:
