Kamau Bell on Do The Work!: 'Funny but not f***ing around'

Do The Work! began in the wake of the racial reckoning that followed the murder of George Floyd. W. Kamau Bell and Kate Schatz kept having conversations about how to deal with white people who wanted to know: "What do I do?"

That's when the light bulb flared and they decided to create their own workbook. The pair spoke with CNN Opinion about their book and how they see the world. Take a look at some of their responses below: 

Q: What's your favorite exercise in the book?

BELL:  I'm a big fan of the "check your privilege" checklist just 'cause I think it really expands the idea of what privilege is. And even though there are many jokes in there, none of them are jokey. I used to say about myself, "I tell jokes but I'm not kidding."

I saw somebody who zoomed in on [the exercise] on Instagram and said, "Tall? Is that a joke? So you're saying tall is a privilege?" And I'm like, "It's not a joke at all. I'm tall, I know it's a privilege." I love the fact that embedded in there are lots of jokes, but it also makes people think differently about privilege. My favorite one is, "Are you George Clooney?" That's a privilege, if you're George Clooney. This idea of privilege gets so corrupted and confused — and made so boring — that to me, I feel like that exercise did a great job of being actually funny, but not joking at all.

SCHATZ: And it takes this really loaded thing that people freak out about — this idea of privilege — and it disarms it by being funny. I will say that one of my favorites is the radical activists coloring page spread, which comes at the end of the section about history. I love the way that page looks, I just think the artist really nailed it. It's fun. I love thinking about people coloring all these different names — it's just this huge collage of individuals and groups, and organizations from across the centuries.

I love the idea of thinking of someone coloring it in and then being like, "Who is this," and googling it and learning about someone new. I cling to that kind of historical knowledge so much, especially in times like this because I think knowing that other people have been through this or iterations of this, or way more horrific s**t than this...to study how they did it and to know we're part of that lineage of resistance is really important.

Q: If you could write one thing on the little card of "recommend reads" under this book at the bookstore about why someone should pick it up, what would it be?

BELL: I think "funny, but not f***ing around" says everything I want it to say. That's the whole thing — it's both of these things at once.

SCHATZ: Maybe the line I would add is, "If you don't think you need this book about how to do anti-racist work, then you probably do."

Must-see places in Patagonia

For travelers itching to go on an adventure, reconnect with nature or feel like they are the only humans for miles and miles, Patagonia is one of the last untouched places on Earth.

This remote region covers hundreds of thousands of square miles of southern Argentina and Chile, stretching across ancient forests, vast glaciers, deep fjords and the jagged Andes mountains.

"In Patagonia, you feel alone in this huge world of wildlife," said Kevin Zaouali, one of the directors of Patagonia: Life on the Edge of the World.

Here are some of the must-see places at the edge of the world:

Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

The park is a crown jewel of Chile's park system. It has miles-long glaciers, turquoise-blue lakes, granite peaks towering up to more than 9,400 feet, stunning waterfalls and rare wildlife.

It's one of the most sparsely populated regions in the world, where wildlife must be resilient to survive its punishing and unpredictable extremes. There are condors, wild horses, rheas, guanacos and pumas.

It's estimated that the park and surrounding area is home to hundreds of pumas. Making it one of the best places in the world to see these the large wild cats.

El Pedral, Argentina

Along the Argentinean coastline, El Pedral is home to a growing Magellanic penguin colony. 

"If you are there, you're alone in a huge penguin colony. It's the best place to stay if you want to experience Patagonia on a different level," Zaouali told CNN, calling the spot magical.

September to April is the best time to see the penguins when these migratory waddlers come to breed.

Chiloé Island, Chile

Chile's Chiloé Island offers some of the best whale sightings in the region. The beautiful surrounding fjords are a magnet for wildlife, including sea lions, dolphins and the largest animal that has ever lived: blue whales. There are 700 migrating whales that come to this region annually to feast on krill. 

The island is famous for its picturesque palafitos, wooden houses on stilts above the water. There are even stilted hotels and restaurants that tourists can visit.

The area is also known for its delicious seafood. One of the traditional Chilean dishes is curanto, a feast of meat and seafood that's cooked in a pit in the ground and covered by a large leaf. It's one big communal pot of clams, mussels, sausage, potatoes, chicken and pork.

Balneario El Cóndor, Argentina

The northern Argentinian village of Balneario El Cóndor is home to the world's largest parrot colony.

After wintering up north, pairs of burrowing parrots return to the same nest every spring. Some of their nests stretch back ten feet into the cliffs. There are 37,000 active nests, conservationist Mauricio Failla said.

Other local attractions include the sandy beaches and the Faro Río Negro lighthouse. There is kite surfing, windsurfing and sand yachting, which is a wheeled vehicle with a sail that's powered across the sand by the wind.

Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina

Located in the southwest of Santa Cruz province in the Argentine Andes, Los Glaciares National Park is defined by its numerous glaciers. The most famous is the Perito Moreno Glacier — extending 19 miles in length, three miles in width and 560 in depth, according to the Global Alliance of National Parks.

"It's a huge spectacle to see," said Zaouali, who compared the icy wonder to "The Wall" in Game of Thrones.

Horseback riding, kayaking, biking and climbing also offer panoramic views of the awe-inspiring park.

This week, Patagonia: Life on the Edge of the World heads to the Andes — the longest mountain range in the world. Here, pumas roam the grasslands, hooded grebes court in the plateaus and the condors patrol the skies. Very few places in the world are as pristine and unspoiled.

The series airs Sundays at 9pm ET. You can also catch up on the past episodes now on CNNgo.
