We can’t imagine Lorne Michaels is too impressed with “http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/snl/”}}“>Saturday Night Live” cast member Michael Che right now.
During “Weekend Update” on last night’s Season 42 premiere of the sketch comedy show, Che dropped the n-word while discussing Colin Kaepernick’s protest of the national anthem. The comedian and his “Weekend Update” co-host, Colin Jost, debated “The Star-Spangled Banner,” with Jost admitting he liked the anthem and Che siding with Kaepernick.
The comedian continued, saying “it’s mostly white guys that are upset,” which he understands “because this country has always been great for white guys.”
“You absolutely should defend the National Anthem. If I was white, I’d always defend the National Anthem,” he said. “I expect white guys to defend the National Anthem like I expected Phylicia Rashad to defend Bill Cosby. I’m sure when people were protesting ‘The Cosby Show,’ I’m sure Clair Huxtable was like, ‘I don’t know what he did to y’all, but n***a made me rich!’”
