GED Section: The Irony of a Woke Pope
Source: Reach Media / Urban One D.L. Hughley's Notes from the GED Section , always a blend of sharp wit and piercing commentary, often tackles pressing social and cultural issues with unflinching honesty. One of DL's takes a deep dive into the new Pope. At a time when the term 'woke' is thrown around like an insult, it's funny how history sneaks up on us. The world has a new Pope, and some folks are losing their minds—not about his policies or his faith—but because he's got Creole ancestry. Quick history lesson for anyone confused: Creole means he's got a little Black in him. Yep, the holiest man in the Catholic Church is part of the very history some are working overtime to erase. STAY INFORMED! CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER! The irony? The teachings of Jesus, the original supposed 'woke' figure, promote values of inclusivity, compassion, and justice. But somehow, he's often depicted looking like Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall . If Jesus came back today, he'd probably walk into a church, see that alabaster statue, and wonder, 'Who's the gymnast on the cross?' It's wild, isn't it? People are scrambling to suppress Black history in schools, books, and media, yet here it is, shining through the Vatican like a beam of light. History is resilient like that. You can try to bury it, rewrite it, or ignore it, but the truth has a funny way of surfacing.

The new Pope's ancestry is a reminder that no matter how hard people try to dismantle the significance of Black history, it's deeply woven into the fabric of the world—even in places you'd least expect. And like I always say, if you're bothered by the Pope's Black side, wait till you really get to know Jesus.

D.L. Hughley Thinks Trump Is Selling Out America While Enriching Himself
Donald Trump returned from his tour of the Middle East Friday with some investment pledges secured in Saudi Arabia and Qatar ... but D.L. Hughley is less than impressed with the transactional deals. TMZ caught up with the comedian on "TMZ Live" Tuesday ... and he slammed Trump's shift in foreign policy, which he says focuses on rewarding whoever "gives [him] a jet or builds [him] a hotel" rather than on shared values. Notably, Qatar offered an estimated $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet to 47 ahead of his visit, to be used as Air Force One ... which Qatar's prime minister has since denied was an act of bribery. The gift is a violation of the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which forbids American officials from receiving gifts from foreign governments and individuals without Congressional consent -- and it's still unclear whether the plane will be accepted. D.L. says Trump wouldn't even be in a position to accept such a lavish gift if he didn't bulldoze our existing relationships with countries such as Canada and Mexico ... forcing him to create ties with new allies. Harvey pushes back, saying he's not opposed to the idea of this new "doctrine" -- but agrees with D.L. that Trump is the wrong messenger. Bottom line, the former "The Hughleys" star argues Trump's refreshed foreign approach is all about serving his best interest first, noting ... "[He's] gonna take off the top and whatever America gets, it gets." D.L. also slams Trump's dramatic approach to tariffs ... telling TMZ his back-and-forth actions have been "juvenile" due to his "rudimentary" understanding of how his proposed policies actually work. He doesn't back down, and even goes on to insist America's reputation is "up for sale" due to Trump's behavior ... even calling him a "carnival barker." You can catch the entire interview today on "TMZ Live" ... and more of D.L.'s hot takes on The DL Hughley Show.
