Chelsea Handler: Saying You’re Not Racist ‘Not Enough,’ Whites Must Work ‘To Dismantle The System’

Comedian Chelsea Handler said merely claiming not to be racist is an inadequate response to systemic racism and that white people “have to be working to dismantle the system” that she said enables their success at the expense of others.

During a recent interview with Sam Sanders on NPR, Handler discussed her new book, “Life Will Be The Death Of Me: …And You Too!” and also explained how the therapy she pursued after President Donald Trump’s election led her to make “Hello Privilege. It’s Me, Chelsea,” a Netflix special about her “white privilege.”

Handler, whose show “Chelsea Lately” aired on E! from 2007 to 2014, said that “after therapy and kind of taking a look at myself and my surroundings and coming to the realization that my success has a lot to do with my skin color, I wanted to really do something that set an example about how to, you know, contribute because at this point, it’s not enough to just say you’re not racist.”
