Tom Hanks appears as “Doug” on Black Jeopardy. He’s a redneck, I guess, who supports Trump.
Unwittingly, the lefty writers have shown that there might be a bit of crossover appeal for Trump amongst the two disparate (or are they?) groups.
Hanks is a limousine liberal, probably thinking his “Doug” character deals a devastating blow towards Trump supporters.
I don’t think so. This “comedy” foretells what might be revealed on the 9th, that there are diverse groups that are simply fed up with the traditionally established power elites, and Trump doesn’t fit that mold.
He may get the vote because of who he isn’t, not who he is.
Ah, yes, Saturday Night Live. I remember it when it used to be funny. That was about 30 years ago.
Good catch, I initially skipped this video because I thought Hank’s character would be characterized as a clueless racist, homophobe, etc., etc.
As it turns out, the character is portrayed as having much in common with the black folks and they began to warm up to the character.
However, once the two issues are mentioned at the conclusion of the game, the black characters appear to become hostile. Their hostility is based on the falsified narrative, exploitation and manipulation of blacks by certain groups.
From my perspective, this seems to be a slam on the Blacks Lives Matter and the Anthem protests, two issues driving a wedge between decent people. I am certain the writers did not intend this at all.
All Lives Matter! I saw what they did there.

is about (VERY FUNNY) political humor,
(otherwise O/T).
I agree with Steven Hayward: the best (local) political ad of 2016!!!
Please elect Gerald. PLEASE.
First the Michael Moore monologue and now this. God is great.
Besides the SNL skit being not funny, the biggest hypocrites fail to see the irony of their outrage.
Hanks’ son Chester “Haze” is a wannabe rapper who fails miserably at his “art”, but manages to insult both whites & blacks.

and of course Jeff “I’ll never support Trump” Flake has done such a bang up job with his own sons.

I think it’s hilarious and it really isn’t mean-spirited like I thought it might be. It does show a cultural connection, and I am not sure what the writers intended but it doesn’t really come off anti Trump.
I can’t stand hanks what a whiny asshole
Exactly… That joke is not that poor whites are voting for Trump. The joke is that poor blacks continue to vote for Democrats.
Too bad Hanks didn’t fall drunk over the side of the Maersk Alabama and get eaten by sharks during the filming of that pisspoor movie. Anything he touches turns to shit. It’s like a Reverse Midas Touch. A Turd Touch, if you will.
God, that was stupid as hell.
I don’t care what blacks think.
Blacks can think?
Blacks think about which crackpipe they are gonna smoke tonight. And how much they hate white people.
And how they all would rather rape white women than deal with the chimpanzees they married.
The black actors were stereotypes of much of what is wrong with blacks today, for instance, the bit about the 401k plan. But they were too stupid to realize what they were doing.
Do the youtubers be counting the votes for president cuz the hanks video done got
