D.L Hughley Hates Black Women? Discusses Disdain for Women in New Book

Is DL Hughley a Black Woman Basher?

DL Hughley expresses his dislike of women, in general, in his new book " “I Want You to Shut the F*** Up: How the Audacity of Dopes is Ruining America."  He did an interview on NPR to promote the book and talked about how he can't understand women and doesn't particularly like them. He says that black women are the angriest group of people and impossible to understand.

Here are a couple questions and answers from the interview with Michel Martin:

MARTIN: You don’t like women?
HUGHLEY: I don’t like the way they process – no, I don’t. I enjoy their company. I do not like the way that they reason. You can’t understand them.

MARTIN: Well, for a man who has been married for 26 years and has two daughters – you have three children overall, two daughters and a son – you don’t think you’ve figured it out?
HUGHLEY: Do you think any man has figured it out? Anyone? Anyone? Name me a man who says I’ve figured women out, I got it.  My daughters, who I love immensely, are so certain, like if a man can have a face only a mother can love, then women can have personalities only fathers can love.

MARTIN: OK. But then to go on and in many parts of the book have some very harsh things to say about black women – African-American women.

HUGHLEY: Like what do you think is harsh?


MARTIN: …black women is – the only black woman you could be married to is your wife.
HUGHLEY: Yes.

MARTIN: Beacause…black women are so messed up? I mean what – or because she’s so great?
HUGHLEY: Well, in her ability to kind of tolerate my – it’s her ability to tolerate me, A) and B) I’ve never met an angrier group of people. Like black women are angry just in general. Angry all the time. My assessment, out of, just in my judgment, you either are in charge or they’re in charge, so there’s no kind of day that you get to rest(ph).


MARTIN: I have to ask whether is it because black women are an easy target?
HUGHLEY: No.

MARTIN: And so you can say these things because nobody is going to…
HUGHLEY: Do you think black women are an easy target?

MARTIN: Well, I mean I’m thinking you or – one of the ways you came to public attention is your defense of Don Imus for calling the Rutgers women’s basketball team nappy headed ho’s…
HUGHLEY: Right.

MARTIN: …and I understand that your defense was free speech, which I think many people understand. But if you think he’d said that about another group of women, that that would’ve been considered funny?
HUGHLEY: I can’t, really, that’s like, I can’t disprove or prove a negative, but I can say this: that I have defended any number, I have defended Michael Richards for the N-word. I’ve defended Tracy Morgan for his comments. I defended Rush Limbaugh. You know, to me, you know, what people are talking about has never really kind of worked its way into my mindset. It is the idea that they have the right to say it. So I think that’s really kind of an unfair – optically, that looks different than the way I see things. But…

MARTIN: OK.
HUGHLEY: …I don’t think black women are easy targets at all. I respect them great – a great deal. I think that to pretend like I don’t see things the way that I do is to do a disservice to them.

After seeing D.L Hughley defend Don Imus' comments about the African American women on the Rutger's basketball team being "nappy headed hoes," the comments he made about black women does not surprise me at all.

If he were not married to a black woman and if he didn't have black daughters, I bet he would be among the ranks of Tommy Sotomayer and all the other black men who make it their life's goal to make videos for  Youtube to disrespect and bash black women.

And that's a huge shame because black men AND women have supported and still do support this man's comedy.
