D.L. Hughley’s not here to tell people to pipe down and keep quiet in the midst of law-enforcement and military responses to immigration-enforcement protests — he says breaking the law just may be exactly what’s needed right now … just like Rosa Parks did.
The comedian went off on “TMZ Live” Tuesday, speaking about escalating protests in L.A. against ICE raids targeting undocumented immigrants, and city-imposed curfews as a result — and he makes it crystal clear … civil disobedience is sometimes the only reason we have certain freedoms that we do, and sometimes the only way to fix a broken system is to disrupt it.
D.L. also took aim at the heavy military presence in L.A. right now — pointing out there are currently more personnel stationed in Home Depot parking lots than in Afghanistan … so if they’re bringing that kind of force,they should expect a response just as strong.
And when Harvey referenced South African civil rights leader Nelson Mandelabecoming more powerful after serving prison time, D.L. didn’t miss a beat … saying that was true — after he had served 30 years — and Black and Brown people have accepted enough punishment already.
Bottom line for D.L.? We’re in morally bankrupt times — and only bold, uncomfortable action will lead to real change.
You can catch the entire interview today on “TMZ Live” … and more of D.L.’s hot takes on The DL Hughley Show.
