D.L. Hughley is Proof We Extend Too Much Grace to Straight Black Men

D. L. Hughley has been on the fuckshit for years, and despite his many glaring sins, and there have been many, the Black community has turned a blind eye. Why? Because if we are being entertained by a straight, comical Black man, our grace is endless.

Let us start with the child he had with a mistress. This is certainly a matter between he and his wife, but he involved the public when he admitted, that he prayed to God for him to take away this burden, so he could save his marriage. Well, I guess he got his wish, because the mother’s live-in boyfriend murdered the nine-month-old. Did I mention that D.L. told his wife, after the child was murdered, and then credited her for being the communication link between he and his mistress regarding the deceased child?

But it gets better! DL also publicly admitted that a close family friend molested his daughter. When the daughter confessed to him, what happened to her, he confronted his friend, when the friend denied the allegations, he chose to believe his friend over his daughter. Are you seething yet?
