Ellen DeGeneres said she was “ashamed” as a white person at the number of unarmed Black men killed by police officers around the country.
She made the comments on her hit daytime talk show The Ellen DeGeneres show on Friday to news commentator Van Jones.
“Recently there have been so many African-American men who have been shot by police and nothing seems to change,” she told Jones. “I’m furious. As a white person, I’m ashamed.”
The host said that what she sees is “blatant racism” and that it is confusing to her that nothing happens.
