A self-proclaimed "professional talker," comedian, thespian, and fly-in-the-ointment W. Kamau Bell has a merciless wit and a genuine sincerity whenever he goes off on his favorite topic: our country's obsession with race. This time around, Bell uses his potent mix of absurdist comedy and poignant realism to take on the strange corrective that is Black History Month. Whether ripping into The Blind Side or parsing the difference between "a president who is black" and "a black president," Bell not only delivers a powerful comedic performance but cuts through platitudes and political correctness to create an outlet for a dialogue that is long overdue.
