George Lopez Says ‘Whatever The Black Struggle Is, Is Everyone’s Struggle’ / WATCH

*George Lopez is no stranger to controversy. So, with his new special, “We’ll Do It For Half, “ dropping on Netflix this week, of course, the funnyman is just as outspoken regarding the current situations.

“It’s just nothing other than just ignorance to think that we’re not all in the same boat. That Black Lives Matter has nothing to do with us,” George said to us when asked about why it was so hard to get the Latino community to endorse Obama.

EURweb reporter Monique Loveless sat down over a virtual interview, to ask the stand-up comedian about Black Lives Matter, bridging the gap between the Black and Latino communities and what we need to do to move forward.

“The minute you see messages on Instagram or I get called out for being a proponent for supporting black lives matter. Where their argument is what do they do for us? Why should we help when they don’t help us? Well, you help because it’s the right thing to do.” Lopez expresses.

We’ll-Do-It-For-Half

“We’ll Do It For Half” started as a joke Lopez made on the Chicanoworldstar Instagram page. The page posted a meme of Donald Trump with the headline: “Iran offers $80 million bounty for Donald Trump’s Head after death of general.” Lopez slyly commented with “We’ll do it for half” and once again became the trending topic on Twitter.

It’s Lopez’s first comedy special on the streaming giant’s platform. Filmed at The Warfield Theater in San Francisco, the stand-up comedian hilariously jokes about the Latino community elders, gender reveal parties and emotional support for animals. All while speaking on race, politics, and life lessons to be learned.

The one-hour special hits Netflix tomorrow, Tuesday, June 30, so tune in because we all need something other than Trump to laugh at.
