“So just ask yourself, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American? When was it great?' the 'Breaking Bad' star said. 'So if you’re making it great again, it’s not including them.'
Bryan Cranston said former President Donald Trump’s popular campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” could be considered racist and asked people to consider the Black perspective on the nation’s history.
During an appearance on HBO Max’s “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” the former Fox News and current CNN host referenced the “Breaking Bad” and “Malcolm in the Middle” actor’sRELATED:Wallace asked Cranston, “When you look at the political discourse in our country today and the role that media plays, what do you think?”
Cranston said he think it’s important for Americans to look at their history, embrace it and admit where the nation went wrong at critical points. He then used the “MAGA” analogy, and the clip has now gone viral on social media platforms like Twitter. “When I see the Make America Great Again [pointing to an imaginary hat on his forehead], my comment is, ‘Do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark?’” Cranston told Wallace. “And most people -- a lot of people -- go ‘How could that be racist?’
“So just ask yourself, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American? When was it? So if you’re making it great again, it’s not including them. So it’s to teach us, in the woke world, to open up and accept the possibilities that our privilege has created blindspots for us. And maybe I haven’t seen what is really happening yet in all my years.
