What did Tiffany Haddish suggest for curing racism?

Recently, via Page Six, Tiffany Haddish did a roundtable interview where she gave her hilarious suggestion for curing racism. Haddish stated that “when I have problems and I want them solved, I just stop having sex and everything’s solved.

We’ve got to figure this out. We’ve got to make it right.'”
