While promoting his new book, D.L. Hughley conducted an interview with Michel Martin of NPR's Tell Me More. (It's called I Want You To Shut The F#ck Up: How the Audacity of Dopes is Ruining America.)
Apparently in Chapter 17, he says:
"Being a dad to daughters is very different from being a dad to sons. The dangers are different and the way they listen to you is different. I'm sure every father feels the same way that I do about his daughters. I love them, but I don't like them. Who likes women?"
He explained to Martin:...
MARTIN: You don't like women?
HUGHLEY: I don't like the way they process - no, I don't. I enjoy their company. I do not like the way that they reason. You can't understand them.
MARTIN: Well, for a man who has been married for 26 years and has two daughters - you have three children overall, two daughters and a son - you don't think you've figured it out?
HUGHLEY: Do you think any man has figured it out? Anyone? Anyone? Name me a man who says I've figured women out, I got it. My daughters, who I love immensely, are so certain, like if a man can have a face only a mother can love, then women can have personalities only fathers can love.
He concluded:
...
HUGHLEY: I've never met an angrier group of people. Like black women are angry just in general. Angry all the time. My assessment, out of, just in my judgment, you either are in charge or they're in charge, so there's no kind of day that you get to rest.
Perhaps Mr. Hughley should heed the warning he poses in the title of his book.
