But they didnt have a single Black member untilGeorge Floyddied.
So do with that information what you will.
Carmichael also discussed his ambivalence about taking the job at all.
One day youre making mint tea at home, he said.
The next, youre invited to be the Black face of an embattled white organization.
Life really comes at you fast, you know?
Ultimately, Carmichael decided to go through with the hosting gig.
Ill be totally honest with everyone here tonight, I dont really need to hear that, he said.
I took this job assuming they hadnt changed at all.
His choice to be the Golden Globes host came down to the people in the audience, Carmichael said.
