Sherri Shepherd Searches Royal Wedding Footage For Black People, Any Black People At All

The View‘s Sherri Shepherd says she searched through the footage of guests at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding ceremony yesterday and was surprised at what she found (or rather, didn’t find):

‘Where are the black people?’ the outspoken actress, 44, asked as the panellists critiqued Prince William and Kate Middleton’s ceremony.

“Audrey Jones our producer was looking for the black people in the wedding and we found our Rosa Parks moment, because we were like ‘where are the black people’?” she said.

‘It was like where’s Waldo, where are the black people?’ she added.

‘We found one little black child in the choir but where’s the black people at this wedding?’ she repeated.

Upon locating a few people seated together near the front, Shepherd added:

‘They are segregated but they are at the front so we have our Rosa Parks moment,’ she added referring to the African-American civil rights activist Rosa Parks who refused to obey a bus driver’s order to give up her seat for a white passenger on December 1, 1955.

‘I don’t know why they put all the black people over here but they are at the front of the wedding so I ain’t complaining, they got in the front,’ added Sherri.
