Comedian Hasan Minhaj on New Brown America and His Superpowers

Also, what Chief Wahoo means for #NoDAPL and Native American  rights.We’ve only got a few more episodes left in this season of Politically Re-Active, so we’re packing each show to the brim! First, Kamau and Hari call up Sterling HolyWhiteMountain of the Blackfeet Nation and CleveScene editor-in-chief Vince Grzegorek to get the down low on Cleveland’s racist baseball mascot. Then the hosts sit down with an old friend: Daily Show contributor and standup comedian Hasan Minhaj. Minhaj talks about bringing his personal life into his performance, the kinds of people he does NOT want laughing at his jokes, and how genius and kindness are not mutually exclusive. Minhaj is currently touring with his one-man show “Homecoming King” – find out how to see him in person at http://www.hasanminhaj.com. And follow Vince Grzegorek’s on Twitter at @vincethepolack and Sterling HolyWhiteMountain’s at @MrHWM.Finally!
