Why the hate for Larry at the WHCD??? [View all]
The general response from WHCD attendees and those who watched the event on TV has been generally negative. Detractors suggested Wilmores performance was a missed opportunity to draw viewers to his Nightly Show, which has struggled to match the audience of The Colbert Report, his predecessor in the 11:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday timeslot.

I am ashamed by people's responses, they attacked him for using "
nigga", which is nothing close to the "
N-Word" since one is used by people in a term of affection and never existed back in the day...also they had the same rage when Obama used it. I think he used it to show solidarity and to say a bit of a F-you to the overly white room, pointing out to them that Obama was the first mother F-ing black president!
