As nationwide protests over the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are met with police brutality, John Oliver discusses how the histories of policing and white supremacy are intertwined, the roadblocks to fixing things, and some potential paths forward.
I always wonder about two things when I view John Oliver: Are the US regretting having given him the ‘entry pass’ – he’s such a bloody honest and vivid critic?!
How come he gets away with all this heavy, very heavy swearing on US television? When in other shows, such as Stephen Colbert’s Late Show every attempt to utter a swearword it’s blurred?
And a bonus question: WHAT ON EARTH made Oliver leave the UK and go to the US? I mean, hello, he did his papers long before Brexit became a theme!
