Jerrod: Oh, come on, are-are you really mad at me right now, Maxine?
Maxine: Yes. The only reason that your parents are suspicious of their neighbors is because they're Muslim.
Jerrod: And how is that my fault?
Maxine: It's not your fault, but I would like you to at least agree with me that they're acting crazy.
Jerrod: Well, I'm sorry. I can't agree to that.
Maxine: Well, that's why it's your fault.
Jerrod: Well, look. Maxine, I agree that maybe they're overreacting. But I won't say that I don't understand where their fear comes from. Look, I understand that racially profiling someone is wrong and we need to respect people's civil liberties. But... Turning a blind eye and pretending that their neighbors aren't capable of something bad isn't the answer, either.
Maxine: So what is the answer?
Jerrod: You're asking me to solve terrorism right now? I mean, I really think I can fix our problems with the Middle East, but I'm gonna need at least a Red Bull first.
Maxine: Look, your parents are being xenophobic. And you have to realize the negative consequences of that. If your parents said that we should build a wall around the whole country, would you agree with them on that, too?
Jerrod: Of course I want a wall! I mean, look, Maxine, I'm not anti-immigration, but I'm definitely pro-wall. I mean, walls are amazing. If walls aren't so great, why are we standing in walls right now? I mean, we wouldn't knock down a whole wall just so one of our neighbors could wander in here if they're ever feeling oppressed.
Maxine: I'm sorry, is Donald Trump behind the couch feeding you lines?
Jerrod: I am completely cool with anybody coming to this country. I would just like for them to have been invited first.
Maxine: Jerrod, the only reason that any of us are here is because of immigration.
Jerrod: No, I'm here because of slavery. You know, you got to understand, I was invited. I mean, it... It was an aggressive invitation, but an invitation, nonetheless.
And this is why this show is great, because it can deal with tremendously controversial issues and still be funny.
But Jerrod is absolutely right. Why do the fears of completely normal people never matter? The problem with liberals like Maxine, is that they’re worldview states there’s never a good reason for looking at a group of people and being suspicious of them, regardless of any evidence and facts that show cause for suspicion.
So, at the end of the day, in order for Maxine’s world to make sense, one must completely disregard real life and instead plunge head first into a dune of delusion.
