Meet Dave Ackerman.

Davie is a stand-up comic seeking to expose the ignorance of Brigham Young University students re: Black History Month. To do this, he asks BYU questions about race. He films their answers, most of which are laughable and offensive.

Another thing about Dave: he conducts the interviews in blackface, the idea being that these students won't even realize he's not black.

But Dave, we realized.
