Comedian Tiffany Haddish doubled down on her controversial claims this week and argued that pro-Palestine college protests were not an effective way to create change, RadarOnline.com can report.

Haddish faced backlash for similar remarks made during a stand-up show in New York City over the weekend.
According to Haddish, the pro-Palestine protestors at colleges and universities across the country “should protest for all of the places that are having genocide happen.” She also questioned why no pro-Black protests were being organized.
“I think if they are going to protest for one place, they should protest for all the of places that are having genocide happen,” Haddish charged on Monday. “How many Black people have to die before we can get a protest? Who built that damn college you are protesting at?”
“If you want to protest, protest,” she continued. “But if you really want to be effective and make change, go to Congress. Who makes the laws? Who makes the change?”
“You want to get to them people? Go become a lobbyist and go talk to them.”
“I think if they are going to protest for one place, they should protest for all the of places that are having genocide happen."
Meanwhile, Haddish also criticized the college protestors for “blocking” other students from receiving their education and being able to graduate – particularly after many students already missed their high school graduations because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“You’re at college and you are blocking other people who worked their whole lives to go to school,” the comedian said during her interview with TMZ. “They spent all these thousands of dollars to get educated and you are blocking them from going to class?”
“They’re not going to be able to graduate?” she continued. “Already most of them missed their graduation because of the pandemic, and now they’re going to miss it because you are protesting?”
Haddish concluded her remarks by telling the college protestors to “do it, but do it better.” She also suggested that the protestors should change their tactics and “go and talk to those in office” or “write a letter” demanding change.
