.IAMQUEENLATIFAH on racism: ‘We’re America. Let’s act like it.’

“Through Her Eyes” is a weekly half-hour show hosted by human rights activist Zainab Salbi that explores contemporary issues from a female perspective. You can watch the full episode of “Through Her Eyes” every Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on Roku, or at the bottom of this article.“I really feel like America will never be as great as it could be until we really deal with the truth of our racist attitudes,” Latifah explained while speaking with the Yahoo News show “Through Her Eyes.

While discussing her home state of New Jersey, Latifah weighed in on whether she is excited about the presidential bid of Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., who would be the second African-American commander in chief. The interview broached a range of other topics close to Latifah, who helped break down barriers in the 1980s as one of hip-hop’s first female rappers. Now, as a successful actor, singer, rapper and producer, Latifah still sees areas where the music industry needs to improve — especially when it comes to transgressors of the #MeToo movement.

But when asked why so many people in positions of power stayed silent amid decades of sexual abuse allegations against singer R. Kelly, Latifah had another blunt answer: “It’s called money.”
