He has used trump to boost his media , he hates trump but using him to make more money and trying to make himself this famous comedian 😀 you don't belong here !! Not an American !!
you prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Sebastian Miller instablaster ;)
@Alexander Ronan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Alexander Ronan It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my account !
I can listen and watch Trevor speak anytime, anywhere on earth. So far I have not come across anybody like Trevor who eloquently speak and tells or speaks as it’s meant to be. What a great human being he is. I cherish every word he speaks, because everything he says is information at its best.
I'm alway out here on the net waiting for Trevor Noah's latest interview. Can't get enough of his insightful take on the world and life in general. I am in awe. Uya ishaya lento!
I'm with you in that wait Baba. #TrevorUyayishayaLento
What I like about him he is not just about comedy but also his views.
Matomi Mokoena Trevor is remarkably amazing, simply hilarious and mesmerized.A mindful wide spectrum of language brilliance is the greatest gift as a comedian. He is one and only in the planet. May God protect him in hard situations. The whole world loves Trevor and it makes people happy when we have thoughts about Trevor. May South Africa award Trevor a mastery award on his wide language use unbeatable.MasyaAllah.
He´s brilliant, a very intelligent well spoken man, he´s the best, I could watch/listen to him 24/7
Ey bafo uyayihlephula lento kanzima kabi
Trevor is what we all want to be: Clear, well spoken and brilliant at articulating our thoughts!
Agree 1000th percent
Brilliant mind.
@@johnaugustin3472 You just like what he says because it confirms your massive bias. The guy is ONE SIDED. Every one side, if you blinker yourself to adhere exclusively to it, can be made to sound wise and logical to you. But Cheva is a flaming bigot.
It is easy to escape looking bigoted if you are advocating for Twitty Bird while QUESTIONABLY accusing BIG Big Bird of stepping on Tweety’s toes deliberately. In fact, you look like a downright compassionate, knight in shining armor Robin Hood. That’s why Al Sharpton can spill a lot of vacuous, easily debunkable claptrap and his audience just blindly cheers their approval.
On this, Morgan Freeman would agree with me. Thomas Sowell as well. Others ... many, too. Candace Owens. Denzel. Lil Wayne. ALL BLACK. ALL SENSIBLE.
I recently caught Cheva in a video mocking white people for their lack of rhythm. Which is fine. But he’s raising a fuss through the stratosphere about ‘deep in the mind’ micro aggressions thoughts of white people. Yet he blithely utters a good sized, not so micro aggression hisself. Nat qvite togeda in da hed, dat Cheva.
You people need to examine your own “white supremacy” ... cos guess what. Everybody’s got it.
The whites colonized not because the blacks turned down the opportunity because they’re moral. No. Whoever gets their act together colonizes ... even within a family. It is nothing personal.
The commies that are using “colonialism lingering pain” lies to hammer at the smart and powerful white folks in order to defeat them and institute communism worldwide ... they know that they are spewing lies ! But they don’t care as long as it works and serves their purpose. You see ... people who benefit from the lies, and those who’ve been guilted and brainwashed by the lies ... believe them.
@milo chasteen 💖
Thank you. This mess is going to get more intense ... brace yourself.
Are you a Christian ? Stay close to Jesus. He’s the Only Refuge from this 666 Scourge, now and until He comes soon. Politics, as you can see, has gone to the dogs.
But it is prophecy being fulfilled. Jesus is in Ultimate Control as He ever is. This whole fiasco is a Big Trap for the ungodly. Also an opportunity for them to repent, if they’ll only take it. Let’s pray they all do take it and repent.
Jesus is Lord. God bless you. ✝️💙🙂
@@johnaugustin3472 Please. Taking advice on race and identity from a comedian. How about listening to THOMAS SOWELL. Harvard, Rutgers, Columbia University, University of Chicago, etc. But No, you want to take the word of the host of 'The Daily Show'. THIS is the problem.
I, now, know why the great Jon Stewart chose Mr. Noah to replace the irreplaceable.
Wisdom and compassion beyond his years. Such a pleasure to watch this interview. Calm, clear, concise and on the money.
Trevor Noah will accomplish much with his open, honest and thoughtful humanity and "everyman" qualities.
Both gifted and humble. A fine communicator with wisdom and humour.
Thanks TNYT.
I agree. I was worried about anyone taking over for Jon Stewart, especially someone who hadn't been an anchor in the show previously. But Trevor has shown compassion, humor, and eloquence in his role, and is a great successor. I'm excited to see more from him in the coming years.
Just a positive role model for people all over the world gorgeous love the dimples
I love the fact that Jon had such a tough time convincing Trevor to “take the mantle”...
Stewart saw Noah was perfect for the position waaay before anyone else 😊
I believe Trevor Noah is picture of what God fearing, believing / prayerful mother can bring out of a human being… As God said, “Many are called but few are chosen”. He’s a fine picture of what’s A promise fulfilled could be… all Gods promises becoming.
@gildavaranal8530:
A mother/father doesn't need to believe in a fictional character from an old book to raise a good child...
“With the black kids, I wasn’t constantly trying to be…I simply just was” 🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That really touched me. He shouldn't have felt the need of constantly trying around white children. I hope that someday, humanity as a whole will overcome skin colour as being something that divides us.
As an international Korean adoptee, the segment about being robbed of your home/motherland, culture, knowledge of your ancestors, etc., really resonated with me. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this conversation! Thanks to NYT and Trevor Noah.
Kaitlyn Dreyling I'm also an adoptee who has stood by and watched how our adoption system has broken up families, denied black and brown children homes and their culture and allowed international adoption to take president over local and state adoption, leaving children in the US homeless. I understand your pain and how you feel cut off from your roots. Culture depravity is a real issue which needs to be addressed because it is at the root of many social ills!
Yeap...South Korea has not always been rich... I know a woman in your situation, also from SK. She has some problems for not knowing her origins.
You don't have to agree with Trevor's views but you must admit that he eloquently gets his point across. And that alone deserves respect.
Myriam Bamba he is always ready to bash the nation that provided him so much prosperity, and fails to bash his oen president for corruption, racism ,
Myriam Bamba no he's another wedge between races he's a textbook racist who condemns others racism if they're white and supports it if your not why don't you see or hear it he acts like racism in Africa is solely white yet he stands as a paragon of black bigotry
NO. That does not deserve respect. That deserves a fucking YAWN.
Peter-john De Jong you making no sense , he criticize Zuma and because he gets prosperity in US he cannot criticize it, that's retarded
Drew Mack are.you staring at the mirror again
God was just showing off when He created Trevor; I am South Africa, in this part of the world he is loved by all races and he cuts across the racial divides in his mannerism. we are proud of you Ntate Noah. keep flying our flag higher.
maphetja paul moeta I know, right?
He is funny
Cheers south africa! All the way from Algeria
I share the same sentiments, you couldn't have said it better but I what got me in stitches is; when you say God was showing off that is so funny.
U seem to be cute💋 cheers from Portugal and Timor-Leste.
Trevor makes me think no matter what he says. His brain is so unique. He has such self awareness & yet an ability to analyze the bigger picture as well in a way I’ve never thought of, and I’m sure most of us haven’t because he draws us in in such an easy way to understand. We can understand what it’s like to be in his shoes & that’s a gift.
Jon Stewart must have been psychic because this multi racial, multi cultural, multi lingual young man is just what we need. His empathic view is so well rounded it's infuriating.
watch one of his comedy skits, you'll swallow your words...
well seeing as how there are over 160 countries in the world and even more cultures, majority of us aren't walking around with the name john smith, surely you understand that Rajiv... (not sure how to pronounce that shit either)
Rajiv Thind u seem like a kid . Accept what he just said , go see some of his comedy skits . You will notice an inteligent way of telling truth through comedy .
Gracie C. Yassss it’s crazy his foresight
Most un funny comedian ever. Since when did comedians become political philosophers?
I am very appreciative of this young thinker who happens to come from Africa with a sharp view of race, America and the world. Well done to Noah’s mom
Authentic, down to earth & so real! So proud of you, Trevor! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️✊🏾
Deveshni Naidu Born a Crime is just amazing
That's the beauty of being raised by an African woman.
First time I have listened to this man. Sharp, intelligent, funny, sensitive, empathetic. As a white man he is the future we all should aspire for.
I'm sorry but he's not a white man.
He is biracial!
Meaning he has both races inside of him. This brilliant young man is a inspiration for all of us!
@normawilliams8340:
Maybe Francis meant, that he himself is a white man and that Travor is his role model?!? Just a guess though.
As someone born in another country, but is American and has traveled I love Trevor Noah’s curiosity and willingness to speak up. For any of us that don’t know the answer we should all ask questions. Be willing to learn because life is hard. With a touch of humor is good to deal with life in general.
Trevor Noah is truly remarkable. Smart, funny, humble, positive cute.
He is accomplished as well as flawed. Having admired him since he came on the scene, this discussion disappointed me. His fudging his knowledge of black American history would be laughed at among real intellectuals. He acknowledges the weight that Black Americans have had on his life but he does not really know us and our history. He demonstrated in this interview that his knowledge and understanding of our history in this country comes from the headlines not from true substantive knowledge of our society and culture.
@@MsBahbii but what are you looking for of Trevor may I ask? You say he would be laughed at amongst real intellectuals, really, what are those? Did you even note he doesn't even claim that intellectuals mantle, that he didn't even go to university? And yet he can get you engaged, just natural human intelligence, not quite the taught kind.
@@ntatemohlomi2884 As usual, Noah wasn't funny or insightful. His unique experience was interesting.
His insights are lacking. His knowledge behind the insights is superficial, insulated and mostly wrong.
Trevor Noah... is to talk show hosts... what Dane Cook is to comedians.
🎤🩸
@@MsBahbii Did Trevor say he was a scholar of African American history, culture & economics?🤔
@@rolandwoltman7835 I think he said until he stepped in the country all he knew about black Americans was what he saw from pop culture.....so just, calm down the expectations there.
4 years later he is still learning and with another Emmy nomination for his show, so...
Trevor we've come to expect nothing less from your insights and truthful anecdotes. Awakening and inspiring
This man is such a brilliant observer and analyzer of human behavior. His injection of humor into life circumstances that span the range of our experiences is acute and exceptional.
Trevor Noah... is to talk show hosts... what Dane Cook is to comedians.
His observations are weak and more importantly, one sided. He's in a liberal box and here in America and his views are from a strangely privileged perspective. "Stereo typical of one experience" I believe the narcissist in him so aptly points out.
He is no observer.
His views on human behavior are from a narrow liberal-oppression centric perspective.
Right. With zero actual education on his "observations". He perpetuates the idea of victimology the race industry has sold the Black community.
@@rolandwoltman7835 are you serious?..he's now a narcissist because he speaks on social issues that people think about and pretend they don't exist? You're the kind of person his show educates and informs, but your inflated ego and prejudice cannot allow you...🙂🙂
@rolandwoltman7835:
Liberal oppression?!?
Care to go in to more detail?
@rolandwoltman7835:
Privileged perspective?
Do you know how he grew up?
If not, inform yourself, before you make such a statement.
Moreover, calling him a narcissit, is a pretty idiotic thing to do, not even trained psychologist diagnose anyone they have never met in person.
Every Trevor Show I have watched never fails to inspire and enlighten me with positivity... My idol.
Thank you so much Trevor for Being A positive Voice During These very Tremulous Times... 👏👏👏
Trevor Noah is one intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable comedian. I follow him because he makes jokes about politicians and everything current and real that is happening throughout the world...even about world history . He is very credible!
WOW - AMAZING that I relate to Trevor's story?!? I am amazed that I can relate. Reared in the mountains of TN, MTN City, TN to be exact, I was the ONLY black girl born in 1974. That separated me from others by age, grade, and experience. My mom went back to college, and my brother and I were moved to finish school in McDonough, GA. When I walked into class, it was similar to Trevor's experience on the playground. The whites sat on one side; the blacks sat on the other; and I didn't know where to sit. IN AMERICA, there are so many ways people choose to separate, feeling that helps them belong. I wasn't a Georgian, I was still a Volunteer (Tennessee).
My skin was black; I had a curly perm because that was how my mom handled my kinky hair in the mountains. I had no friends; my black experience was my mom, dad and brother; I "spoke white", but I really spoke English, Sign Language, and some Spanish.
I admire Trevor's comedy and the way he LISTENS to others in order to "speak to their hearts." I now have mutt accent as I listened to others and picked up bits and pieces from TV that I could master and not get picked on. Having my own children, it's so cute how "Mom's language" is being passed to another generation. Now, I can realize that and laugh. Trevor's life has helped me not to take myself so seriously. Thanks, Trevor Noah!
Trevor Noah is a gifted young man. He is fearless, eloquent, a great teacher. He is here to bring a change in humanity about knowledge and truth.
YOUNG MAN, MAN, YOU'RE IN AMERICA FOR A DIVINE REASON, THAT REASON WILL MANIFEST ITSELF SOON IN A POSITIVE WAY, BE BLESSED. STAY HUMBLE.
another religious nut job smh
Trevor Noah is the thinking man/woman's comedian. I appreciate your truth in comedy. I am simply amazed by you!💗
I so very much respect Trevor. He is so intelligent and interesting. I love how he is so good in reflecting and trying to understand everything.
are you fucking kidding
His observations are weak and more importantly, one sided. He's in a liberal box and here in America and his views are from a strangely privileged perspective. "Stereo typical of one experience" I believe the narcissist in him so aptly points out.

@@rolandwoltman7835
People telling you someone is "one sided"
won't tell you they are at another side but not able to argue.
@rolandwoltman7835:
Copy and paste...
Do you get money every time you post that baseless nonsense?
Wow Trevor. Each video I watch of you is inspiring. I've never had the opportunity to watch you back home but have always found you to be exceptionally inspiring. Thank you for being a "perfect imperfection", a role model that South Africans can be proud of.
Your fan,
Julian Sheldon
Well spoken my dear
'America dealing with the Trump' best said. Trumps plan?: dictatorships?, new world order? He can fool some of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but he will never fool all the people all the time. Abraham Lincoln. Hope we deal with Trump correctly.(not a replying to L. Badjie)

@@doriswashington7299 LOL. Biden's trying to take your money out of banks and give it all to the Fed. So they'll control of it... control your access.
Still think Trump was a dictator?
@@rolandwoltman7835 trump was one of the few presidents that spoke his mind. Obama had his faults, Biden was maybe the lesser of 2 evils... Maybe people should be paying attention to the fine print now that he's in office... The level of news on what's happening in the white house is rather quiet (on the global scale)... Coincidence?? Hmmm..
I just love Trevor! He’s so intelligent and well raised. I thank his mother and grandmother for doing a great job.
As a White ( or really pink ) woman, I really enjoyed and appreciated this show. Both young men were eloquent. Their conversation was important and significant. I wish myself that there was one race, the human race, and we could celebrate our differences. I have had friends from many cultures and Faith's. Each is Rich. Each has good people and bad. I have hope that we can move more toward the good and expose the bad and let go of it, or get rid of it.
There is only one race the human race. We just have different ethnicities abs cultures . The problem is sin which brings racism and people wanting to be better than others .
There is one human race because God created it
@levornspencer5752:
How can a fictional character from a very old novel create humans?
It's like saying Harry Potter created us...
@nataliewalters2759:
God doesn't exist, therefore sins don't exist, only moral or immoral behaviour.
He is so good at conversation. just simple conversation. he knows who he is,he knows what he believes, and i guess thats why he knows where he stands on all these different topics. i dont believe any of these people in the comment section would actually stand up and interrupt him , while he was speaking , if they were there. he doesn't raise his voice, use abusive language, make crazy statements to attract attention or headlines. all he does is talk, calmly, and its soo refreshing.
Trevor is a good human at core being before anything else..and that's what make him so special...really glad that i got to watch this interview!
I have such a teeny crush on Trevor Noah -.- I'm 33 -.- But the whole person is so... intelligent, warm-hearted, sexy, kind, open-minded, answer-seeking, interested, handsome...I spare you the million adjectives...
I believed the people, who warned me not to read too many comments... but: trolling is so boring and outdated. The only thing you show with hateful comments is, that you have problems with your self, but lack the balls to face them. Grow up.
stfu STUPID BITCH.
how old is he?
Hate what he is saying? He is promoting tolerance and understanding. Noah is explaining how we all face choices and we must be responsible for our own choices. We can be one thing, belong to one group, but it's important to remember, to be acutely aware of the fact that we are ALL human beings.
@Dirty grandpa
I don't know about American philosophy or it's not my concern what happens in America. But I read Trevor's book and when he meant one needs to choose black or white or to pick a side was totally dependent on the context. It was to a mixed boy under the time of apartheid.
People are just pissed off because Trevor's not a Don the Con supporter.
The book was a riot. Loved it. Could not put it down.
Am so buying this book! that chapter touched me. Why can't we just be the human race?
We are the human race.
Wolves belong to same species, but there are grey, white, black wolves.
It’s less about color, and more about culture. Trevor mentioned the ability to speak fluent English for example. It gives you (naturally) credibility.
True
We ARE the human race. We each need to act like it-treat each person like the unique human being he/she/they are.
It all starts from leadership. If president's in America were very tough on racism and made sure its against the law and any on caught being racist would serve time in prison, people would change. SA is so much better than the US in terms of racial issues.
@pogolas:
That's not true, it's not only about culture, but also about colour.
A non-white person attacked on the streets, gets attacked for the colour of their skin, not for their culture. Finding out about the cultural background of someone takes time and I bet a racist doesn't care about the culture of their victim.
This was amazing to watch. Jamaican in the house.
Wow this guy is a boss, Trevor Noah is eloquent and honest around the issues of race.
People need to remember that in America, it's not just black kids and white kids who go to college.
They said, "Reach out to us and tell us your experience with race in college" because they literally wanted to hear from EVERYONE. If you don't like that, don't watch!
If there's an audible version of 'Born a Crime' read by Trevor himself, I would buy it right away. I would never care about the price.
xmasterblue there is.
MJmysterious Oh yes? Thanks a lot. Didn’t know it.
There is and it’s really good!!
xmasterblue there is. Use your once a month free credit to buy it.
ua-cam.com/video/r8Vp1o89oSg/v-deo.html here's the audiobook. Narrated by him.
Giving an equal chance and right, I believe there's much greatness to come from Africa
TRevor is a gift to the world. We in Africa loves you
We are all gifts to the world but some humans are to ignorant to see it.you being a gift is not determined by the hue of your skin.some are taught that their skin tone determine your importance in the world.
It's a sad, sad world that we live in. We live in a world of lies.
I can't wait to read Trevor's book! I have a very similar background, being born down South to a white mother and black father, but in a poor mexican rural household. When it. was discovered that we were black, all he'll broke lose, and baby sister and I were spirited away to a Catholic Orphanage. Eventually we adopted by an Educated Black couple in Philadelphia. The journey had begun, because now we were black, not Mexican or white. My new black father became a music professor, and my mother was the 1st black jeopardy champion. I even had cornrows for a short time at Stony Brook University. I worked for ABC News, eventually teaching high school Biology in NYC. I am going to search for "Born a Crime" today! Thank you for the inspiration!
Richard Ray Salazar LOL SAD LIFE LOL
How interesting! Love you journey - though painful at the beginning it worked out very well for you in the end.
@mygenderisapache3147:
Your comment shows that you are the one leading a sad existance.
Such a treasure! The world is lucky to have people like Trevor
Trevor Noah's explanation of "Coloured" people have their own culture and identity, reminds me of Anglo Indians in India. They have their own culture, cuisine, churches, schools
Trevor is very thoughtful and wise man. Also interviewer was excellent.
Who is watching this in 2019👌🏿❤
me
I am
Yeah. Humankind adapted it to the environment not by changing their physical nature but by making adjustment to their society.... Salute
I am it's important to know
Natasha Christabella I’m and also seeing the irony of him talking about America while his fellow country men brutally killing their own fellow Africans with xenophobic attacks, its laughable . Hypocrite !!
A very powerful and enlightening conversation. I was informed and thoroughly enjoyed the conversation!
I like Trevor Noah's speaking ability and respect his views a lot.
Trevor you touch my heart deeply. I love your humor and your heart. To be able to see both sides of the coin is a gift few of us have I believe Trevor has this gift.
I love Trevors response to safe spaces 39:45 to 1:01. He nails it!
I disagree. University students should open their mind and engage with people who don't necessarily agree with them, not insulate themselves in a homogenized group.
@@chrisolagrim3597 Yes, a space where open minded people can exchange different views and thoughts about difficult issues and be heard and challenged respectfully.
I love him cos his comedy is not just funny but so smart and clever. So educational..he tells you stories and educates you while makes you laugh.
This man is brilliant. Much love Trevor
The time I took to listen to this video was worth it. It's good, with exact words of well stated answers. I enjoyed the interview. Continue working in truth. God Bless you.
Who is the comentator? Trevor Noah is another gift from So Africa! Thank You Lord!
Trevor Noah is so well rounded is as if the was a prototype of him which was tested so that the final Trevor Noah can be available to the world.
Final? A personality is dynamic by nature. The only "final" version of a person is the one in their coffin.
Even though it evolves it's never to a good one all the time or to his specially, and what do you mean final version is in their coffin someone else will say the is no final cause that person is reborn or becomes a spirits, so it all boils down to believes, I say this is his final since even if he dies I will remember this.
Beliefs well and good, but
a) there is no rational indication for any supernatural faith, and
b) even if that was a case, you start again with a blank slate. Or have you ever discussed the previous life with a newborn?
@@weezySKLH well said...
More Trevor = more progress.
Thanks for showing how awesome South African people can be.
Xxx
I love this guy! He’s a class act! 💜
Lovely interview NY Times, i'm watching from South Africa in 2020 and i will support my boy Trevor
This story reminds me of mine. I was brought up in Alabama (small town) and I moved to Virginia, and that is when I realize race. It made me recognize myself. This is America. It is 2022 we need to stop with racism all the way. We are humans. Can we save us?
Trevor is the embodiment of intelligence, poise, compassion & magnetism 🧲 ! One of the most brilliant & witty minds in comedy and a evolving savant in the interpretation of culture as a whole. He is truly a leader in his field and a progressive thinker.
This is absolutely amazing --- Tevor's a great guy, very well-balanced! This video is sort of a course by itself.
Trevor, God bless your mother, grandmother, father, and even the nuns where you attended school. If you haven’t read TN’s memoir “Born a Crime” do so. It will elevate your mind.
He is really something else. I could listen to him talk all day long
As a kid, I always thought after democracy was introduced in South africa the racism issue won't be relevant anymore. I can tell that Trevor was kinda touched by what he was reading as if he could relate more to it. He always speaks and joke about how proud he is of being labelled black and African but he struggled with his identity from a young age. This guy is an ICON! He is smart and intelligent and sadly underrated. The society could learn a lot from what he educate through comedy which is equality and racism.
Trevor, and to whomever else can answer this question, I don't fit into the notion of black or white and can identify with that feeling of sometimes being accepted by one group or another but when I talk with people about racial discrimination and economic inequality it is always judged through the lenses of whomever I am talking with. As an outcast from either group I have often argued that white people need to be part of the conversation but I have noticed that any time a white person asks a question of or makes a positive statement about a movement like Black Lives Matter or the Black Women's march, they get met with hostility and are told their opinions are invalid. I understand that this stems from the fact that some people just get used to fighting all the time and don't know how to react to someone who wants to help solve the issues that have become so pervasive in our society. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew we needed allies of all backgrounds. How, in this current environment do we bridge divides and bring an understanding that people should not be dismissed if they are truly trying to understand their own privilege as it relates to the people they are trying to help because they don't understand why there is inequality and don't agree that they should have any privilege that others do not simply due to the color of thier skin?
I was kind of surprised at the man asking Trevor Noah how does he feel about the black people in America who were offended by his impersonations of black people. All of the black people I know and myself have always loved and admired Trevor Noah. Trevor Noah even said himself that black people seem to embrace him more than white people. I truly love Trevor Noah and what he is doing. I feel like the world needed to see someone like him and know that Africa is full of diverse people and not the stereotype that America has created. I also love that he talks about Black Americans and what we go through.
I love this young man. He can give you informative facts with a cup of laughter.
Trevor is just perfect in everything he is doing... He is good in imitating, especially about politics... He is just hilarious... You are the best comedian Trevor and you have managed to put Africa in the map.
Yep, there is only one Trevor Noah. He will be a legend !
I am telling you.....👌👌
Africa was always on the map
Africa has always been on the map. Please read Born In Blackness by Howard French.
@harrietjohnson1930:
Or Roots by Alex Haley.
I read it as a young teenager and it was very touching. Africa has always been on the map for me.
This is absolutely great!! Love this guy and wish to see him out more often. Even though he's a comedian he's well aware of geopolitical events that has shaped his thinking.
Why do I find myself watching so much of Trevor Noah without getting tired?
He's my homeboy! Trevor man I'm proud of u.
Trevor is my favorite 😍 person and funny guy. Intelligent, humble, hilarious and he seems down to earth. I’m always trying to find more interviews and of course The daily Show. 👍🏻🤝😊
"It feels like We're living through The Best Time ever, because We now have the ability to see how bad it really is."🙏😔
Thank You, Mr. Noah
Just Love You💜
I love Trevor Noah he is always on point Bless
I have been trying to say this for the longest time... “ im mixed with black but black culture in U.S is COMPLETELY different and I can’t identify with that. As a born Dominican living in the U.S I didn’t understand why I was called black in the U.S because we shared nothing but skin complexion. Skin color to us is obvious, we all pretty much look the same and not something that I had to think about as much , we had bigger issues like electricity and running water. It is not that we as Dominicans don’t accept our Afro ancestry because it’s reflected in our music food etc but the term black in America is a culture that is completely different from the Latino culture we grew up with on the island. We’re all still black lol everyone originated from Africa but the 1 drop rule culture didn’t happen to us and we (most) equally embrace all the mixtures that made us Native, Afro and Euro because we know that without one we wouldn’t have our culture food or traditions. It is the 1 drop rule that forces us to only accept our blackness stripping us of our “other” which make us.
Not Dominican. But after hearing Trevor totally understand. Whereas I didn't before. We so often get caught up in our owness that we fail to realize there are others. Like Trevor, once YOU got to America, or maybe since you've heard him, you can understand now why you were relegated as being Black. It's the culture of America.
Blackness is your skin colour & your ancestry and then you have a culture so it can be American, Caribbean, Canadian etc - so you still black but have a Caribbean colour.
@rosahacketts1668:
I think he meant, that by the one drop rule of the US people are seen as just black, even if they are of mixed race.
That's what I never understood. Someone who has three white and one black grandparent(s) is still considered black, even though their ancestry is 75% white...
Please don't compare Noah with your average American comedians. He is above and beyond he is absolutely intelligent, informative, hilarious and well round about the globe vs. some of your comedian who only can talk with fewer vocabulary. So proud to be African love you brother.
I think Trevor Noah is great. I love his stand-up, his hosting of The Daily Show, and his very intelligent and insightful interviews. But many American comedians are also funny, intelligent, and insightful. It's not necessary to put others down to lift Trevor up. He's great. Just leave it at that.
Thank you, but you can comment without using the "N" word. Many people find that word highly offensive, and throwing it into a sentence seems unnecessary.
Here’s a man that is exceptional in numerous ways or he wouldn’t have achieved what he has. To me, he represents what a rational, intelligent human being is.
PerthTowne I don’t see anybody in this comment using the N word unless they erase it or edit it before I read this. And yes I also find it offensive and unnecessary.
Maybe you should take a note from him. No doubt you're probably from West Africa always trying to find a division. That is why Africa will never succeed because of the mindset of the people. always trying to divide by tribe or whatever other way they can to feel better.
" As a comedian, I will always be bound by the truth " quote!
Trevor is just amazing!! I was looking for his stand up and came across this and ended up watching the whole thing!!! When he speaks 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇💯🌈😍😍😍
Ahhhh....Trevor is so insightful, balanced, articulate and, though young, very wise ....can you be our president...please!!!
Great interview! Truthful, insightful and in a tone that is palatable to all who will taste and have a genuine desire to change. Thank you Trevor. You’ve made Yahuah Elohim extremely proud.; Our Maker who we all must stand one day and give account for the life that we’ve lived. 🥰
*"I find in a debate, what really helps, is thinking to yourself, 'what if I'm wrong?'"*
And a debate with people who are not thinking "what if I am wrong" is many times useless….. At least in the long run. It is not solution oriented.
MY LIFE IN A BOOK !!! Thank you @TrevorNoah for this
I ADMIRE TREVOR NAOH GREATLY
This was a monumental conversation
I was totally riveted during Trevor Noah’s conversation!!! He has an ease of speech that holds your attention. Not to mention his captivating good looks (If I were 20 years younger😘). But in all seriousness, he possess such an insightful nature that you can’t help but be drawn to. We need more people like him in our lives to keep us questioning the world we live in as-well-as ourselves. Keep doing what your doing! And know that the world is a better place because you exist.
Trevor we are so proud of you in South Africa maybe you should come back and campaign to be our President Love Joy Cape Town South Africa 👏👏👏👏👍😘🌍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦Proud South African
Thank you for broadcasting this interview. Here we are in 2020 and this is still a serious issue. But as Obama said, the individuals protesting now is more diverse and expressing intolerance for racism. Thank you, John and Trevor.
He never really has to site schools or credentials, he touch on the elementary & middle school he went to. This dude is smart on the next level. He's people smart. He knows how to get a person to give their position and listen then really think and answer. Love Trevor Noah.
The key is that he always remains an observer and is in tune to experiencing the world instead on reacting with judgment first. I love being a black light skinned afro-european (Native french/ Cameroonian by ancestry ) who now lives in america. My life has made me an empath to everyone. Thank you mom and dad for that!
He talks so well. I just love listening to him.
Trevor is a brilliant young man he has pose, he's intelligent, he's smart, he's educated, he has given me an amazing experience during his interview that he's a well rounded man that knows who he is... he's comfortable in his own skin.
He's more than willing to give insight on what he knew about his life as a biracial black man.
Thank you Trevor for your knowledge of who you are.
Insightful and informational as well as it can be. He's brave enough to speak boldly on Racial culture identity.
Thank you so much for your time and intelligent conversation on the identity crisis in America. Keep educating the people on your history and culture roots. As you stand tall and strong on who you are...
Awesome 👍🏾
Well done Trevor...you have really inspired me
language can break racial boundaries' , Johnny cleg was white, but because he spoke fluent Zulu he was accepted in the zulu culture and given a new zulu name
True
Apart of your colour or traditional experience, your language exceptional spear heading and outspoken. This make you welcome any where. I wish all the best Trevor Noah.
I love Trevor. His work is so crucial to our future. Thank you for The inspiration
Angela Clarke LOL
As a native in The US how I can relate to you thank you..
Thanks for understanding 🙏 that we miss not having our story. We want to know who we are, who we come from. Be blessed be safe 🙏 ✨ ❤ live long and prosper.
"Keep up with what you want to keep up with" I listen to Trevor Noah's assessments of what is happening! Listening to "Daily Distancing Show", etc. while hunkering down, and lately looking back over the years to listen/watch your UA-cams! Oh, and wearing a mask whenever I go out.
So inspired, thank you... sometimes it's not easy to ignore what is thrown to us and you can't control it, but you can choose how you react to it.
Trevor speaks fluently and adultlike, very insightful my brother
Adultlike? He is an adult and that since 2002...
i love this young man..he's brilliant
