Kevin Hart Catches Heat For Resurfaced Clip About 'People In The Hood'

  • A resurfaced clip where Kevin Hart is talking about low-income families has come back to haunt him.
  • He said at the time, “If you look in the hood, there’s liquor stores and check cashing places. You know why? Because they know the people in the hood aren’t smart enough to open up bank accounts. They’re gonna get a check, they gon’ cash it, and it’s a liquor store right next to it.”
  • He added, “Let’s just put that around them. Let’s also put a bunch of s–t that’s easy and cash available. We don’t want you to gain credit. We want you to be cash-driven. That’s how we keep the poor poor. It’s not until you understand, that you get out.”
  • One Twitter user commented and wrote, “Some folks leave the hood and altogether forget the plight.” 
  • Another added, “I need people to stop blaming us for systematic oppression. We aren’t the ones that opened up the liquor stores or opened all the payday loan places.”
