Show Notes
Stand-up comedian, best-selling author and acclaimed TV host W. Kamau Bell joins Mehdi as co-host of 'We're Not Kidding' this week. They discuss the student protestors, who join a long line of American anti-war demonstrators, as well as the police's use of brute force against them. Mehdi and Kamau also examine the censorship of pro-Palestinian voices in the media and Hollywood, why Batman is politically problematic, and the cynical "defanging" of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. since his death.
"People celebrate [Dr. King] as a hero and forget the part where he was assassinated," says Kamau. "He didn't die of old age… He was assassinated and many people were happy he was assassinated."
