"White people cannot just say anymore, 'Yeah, I'm not racist.' And think that that's enough, because it's not," he continued."These protests, they have to result in change because when athletes took a knee peacefully at a football game, the vice president stood up and walked out of that stadium rather than see that protest," Corden said.

"And the economy wasn't doing that well and he had to reenlist, got sent back to Vietnam, And then when my parents got married their marriage wasn't recognized in the U.S. because of the laws prohibiting interracial marriage," Watts continued., then broke down after becoming so overwhelmed with the pain and emotion of it all.
