This dude is openly compromised and will say anything to remain employed. U can't be "real" and a puppet at the same time. He is totally for sale and watches what he says on a daily basis to say safe. Doing this and being "real" is mutually exclusive. And that's cool, be all about the dollar and getting ahead no matter what, but you don't get to be called "real" as well.
Notice how loud, angry, aggressive and flippant he is when admonishing the black community on topics dealing with race, but during the open racial unrest of last year he was docile, measured, soft spoken, apologetic, and restrained when speaking on the white community in any form or fashion. He wont speak on the LGBT nor ****** community in any ole way will he? He gets himself totally together (voice, tone, volume, and body language) and behaves himself when issues concerning them are brought up

. That ain't keeping it real. Only those who have the ability to punish him ( get him cancelled or sign his checks), get his respect. One can say that he is smart, but he ain't real.
