Wanda Sykes

Comedian Wanda Sykes has a lot to say about the upcoming presidential election. “I’m torn — Hillary, Obama. Woman, black. I’m a black woman so I’m torn,” she says. “I had to say what has caused me the most problems — no equal pay, no pay. Rape, slavery. Get hit on by men, get hit on by policemen. See, I’m torn.”
