Despite the tuneful clarity of Jimmy’s advice, Chad somehow manages to botch every attempt in ways both awful and hilarious. As Jimmy grows tired of the weight that he has to carry in educating and comforting White people, Chad is faced with a question for which he, himself, must figure out the answer: now that he can no longer ignore the racism right in front of him…what is he going to do?Starring: Darryl Jovan Williams, AJ Holmes, Simone Zamore, Anthony Chatmon II, and featuring Constantine Maroulis.
