Dr. Boyce and Yvette Carnell: Does Hollywood Drive Black Men Insane?

Tweet

You saw the recent blow-ups by comedian Katt Williams, whose been arrested more times than we can count.  There were also infamous incidents involving both Dave Chappelle and comedian Martin Lawrence, where both of them seemed to lose their minds in public.  Chappelle walked away from a $50 million contract, literally disappearing for no good reason.  Lawrence was seen standing in the middle of the street, waving a gun at random strangers passing by.

This leads us to the question:  Is there something about Hollywood that drives black men insane?  In this video, Dr. Boyce Watkins and Yvette Carnell try to work through some of this, with the conversation focusing on the racism in Hollywood and lack of empowerment that many black men may feel when they think that their dreams have come true.  It may be the case that the dream is actually a nightmare, which could be the cause of this odd behavior.
