Rick James couldn’t have said it better himself.
An MSNBC host evoked his inner Chappelle’s Show when he called whiteness a “hell of a drug.”
“Whiteness is a hell of a drug,” Jonathan Capehart said Sunday on The Sunday Show, apparently alluding to a famous Chappelle’s Show bit. “Fear worked, and Youngkin won in a state President Biden won just last year by 10 points.”
WHITE HOUSE SAYS GOP IS LYING ABOUT CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN SCHOOLS, EVIDENCE SHOWS OTHERWISE
Capehart first made the comment on Oct. 29 and reiterated it Sunday.
He was referencing Republican Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin’s victory earlier in November in Virginia‘s gubernatorial election. His running mate, Winsome Sears, became the first black female lieutenant governor of the commonwealth.

The Wall Street Journal wrote an admonishing opinion article about Capehart after he said “tap-dancing with white supremacy is their way back into power” on PBS NewsHour.
“Despite what Democrats say, voters know their neighbors, and they don’t see a racist society or country,” the Nov. 3 article read. “Most Americans don’t want the racial divisions that Democrats keep fomenting for political gain.”
Capehart wasn’t the only MSNBC correspondent to decry “whiteness.”
Joy Reid called the issue of teaching critical race theory “code for white parents don’t like the idea of teaching about race.”
She had a guest on who said of Sears, “The problem is here they want white supremacy by ventriloquist effect. There is a black mouth moving but a white idea … running on the runway of the tongue of a figure who justifies and legitimates the white supremacist practices.”
