I was thinking that too... He had big shoes to fill, taking over from Jon Stewart. But watching him in this interview, it really struck me that I think this cat has hit his stride. He's really good at engaging guests with what they want to talk about... and they are interesting guests! Hell yeah Trevor.
I love how Trevor invites guests that may not be familiar to most, but definitely have an impact before leaving the show. This interview I think is my fav so far, love hearing black talk when others are to uncomfortable to speak on it ! Keep the energy Trevor and Tressie! ❤️🙌🏾✨✊🏾
She was great, though i don't think this channel interviewing only poc is achieving what it's trying to do. Giving a voice to poc became racializing every issue, making identity politics, and perpetuating racial stereotypes on an attempt to own the stigma and make it part of a subculture. This subculture, being the blackest of black, is self discriminating. And ultimately counter productive, or so I think. I'd be glad to be proven wrong by Good arguments.
@@Kavriel I dont think Trevor only interviews people of color. I havent seen studies of this done with PoC, but theyve done studies where they have women make up half the crowd, or speak half the time and then have people rate whether women were talking more than men or made up most of the group, and they have found that when women speak half the time, people perceive them as dominating the conversation. I wouldn't be surprised if PoC made up 30 or 40% of the interviewees that it would seem like they were dominating the group. If we are so used to seeing white men, or just white people in general, when we start to see a more realistic distribution of the races in media, we tend to think that it's more than what it actually is. The only way for people to get over this is to see more and more representation in media. We got so used to seeing white men and white people sharing their thoughts that seeing a few Black people just seems like too many. The older we are, the more entrenched in the old ways we will be. But think of kids who are growing up who havent seen tons of white presidents, but did see 8 years of a Black president. Who didnt have to wait decades for a black super hero. They're going to grow up (hopefully) not thinking that a Black president is a big deal because it will be part of the norm. We only get comfortable with things after repetition. We need to hear more voice of color, over and over again, so it stops seeming "different", and just becomes another voice.
@@heathermarie5139 I just checked the interview from the last twenty or thirty interviews and there's about 50 %black people. There's 12 %black people in America. Trevor is trying to give black people a voice, that's great, but when you consider how often the race and racism is talked about, it gets crazy. It's like every news has to be seen through a filter that racialize every issue. It's not healthy nor true. I wished people didn't care so much. It's stale. It's boring.
@@Kavriel I'm so happy that you can find systemic racism boring, but there are others out there who find it quite life threatening. Personally, I'd rather people like Trevor Noah cater to their safety rather than your boredom. Come back when the last 20 episodes of all talk shows show 12% representation of Black people (and 50% of women)
education??!!!!....... mwaahahahahahahaha, amazing dumbass alert haha laught, take away trump, and he doesnt know who to bitch on, its all he does, its all he knows.... this is probably the new type comedian, puppet style ordered to direct his jokes for political reasons, ALL PC correct..... sure thats funny, for newborn know nothings with a university degree worth ZERO haha
"Let's stop stereotyping and read this book to learn about the philosophy of black women and positive generalizing of a race" Call me old fashion but I get to know everyone on an individual basis.
Trevor you keep on inviting these quality human beings to your show that I've never heard of and providing insight into issues that provide a whole new perspective. Thank you!!! This woman is amazing and I'll buy her book ASAP. I want to know more about black women from HER perspective. Your forum is also expanding my already immense library. Please bring this sistah back and keep giving us people like her.
As a black woman I have never been taken seriously. I am always been asked how my english so good and how is it that I am so smart. Im from a 3 world country and its as bad for as us as it can b.
I work at a hardware store in Georgia. Almost every day white customers ask me why I am well spoken. Yes some black people don't like me to code switch.
@@cocobenji6123 its a wierd feeling when i get that question mainly because ivs never ever thought of askin White ppl why their english is not so good.. lol
@@isakbd3450 Really? I am a Slovak who moved to America and for many years people were commenting on my good English all the time, assuming I was a professor and such. I ended up taking speech classes for actors so I would sound more like someone who grew up in America, after which the comments have decreased considerably, though I still get them occasionally despite having lived in the US since 1983.
My LADY!! Yes! 5:15. I will read your book THICK! I am so impressed with how you think and where you are coming from. Be Blessed dearest Lady, your a powerful observer. ♡♡♡
I NEVER understood why black women especially them, I mean the social norms being brought upon y’all somehow always come back as hypocrites. “You talk ghetto” - talkes with slangs whenever the chance is given. “Your skin is too dark” - tans like crazy. “Your lips are too big” - gets lip injections. “Feeling insecure about your big hips, big boobies, big ass” - a must have now. “Your hair is ... kinky” - “hi, guys today I’m gonna show you how to get black curls naturally...”. “Your braided/Afro/dreadlocked hairstyle is so unprofessional” - OMG, I love this trend. Do you black women. Do you...
I love how she speaks. It really helps me realize how I need to be a better ally. I am educated to a higher standard by her words in a beautiful way that I can easily understand.
"Reconcile the fact that if you think--I am anything worthwhile, intelligent or attractive or important--I want them to reconcile that the fact that I sound like I sound, I look like what I look like and I am what I am." This is a wonderful interview. Adding her book to my must-read list. Thanks, Trevor, for always bringing on guests that educate and enlighten the viewer.
I love how they discussed " code switching" ! Those tactics saved the lives many of our people both literally and figuratively. I look forward to reading her book.🤗
What a wonderfully important book! This ought to be required reading in all schools. It is imperative we include all peoples in any conversation in the public discourse.
Trevor, you are in a class by yourself! This interview is incredible, as are ALL the interactions you have with your guests. Your warmth, commiseration, intelligence & people skills are bar-none! We love you for the humble power you possess 🙋♀️🕊️🫂🫒.
I'm about to say something that is gonna make a mob of angry people come drag me out of my home to burn me at the stake Rap music today needs to stop portraying black women as " bitches. " yes, not all rappers do this and not all rappers today do this but far too many of the hip hop artists alive today portray black and Latin women and often women in general as just sex objects that aren't good for anything else. Most if not all of the stereotypes of black women that we see are constantly propogated through popular hip hop music and it's gotten to a point that when R Kelly was once again outted as a child predator, there were too many young men I saw who claimed that these young girls he preyed on were "clout chasng hoes" (one of them was 12). Most of those who I saw claiming this were young black men, brainwashed by the likes of Chief Keef or 6ix9ine into believing that these girls couldn't possibly have not wanted it. It's so disappointing and what's even more disappointing is that instead of ppl following my advice, many will instead get defensive, assume I'm just unconstructively "attacking black people" and won't listen to a damn thing I said. So the issues will continue and nothing will change. You may burn me alive now, I've said what I had to say inquisitioners
"I'm finna axe this ho a question. Can a bitch go to the baffroom?" Is that culture to be protected or ignorance to be eradicated? Sometimes I feel like the worst elements of black culture are given a voice on purpose. As much as the best elements are hidden away. What's more damaging? Keeping a smart woman like McMillan silent, or blasting Kayne's opinion to the world every day?
I had never heard of this guest and wanted to share the Google. Professor Cottom teaches sociology at Virginia Commonwealth U, is a faculty associate at Harvard, and has a PhD from Emory. She is wonderful to listen to, and I'll bet her writing is as good.
I don't do facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc., but I hope the following message gets back to you, Trevor. "Get Tommy Sotomayor on your program." He just "loves" Black women and Black people in general." I would like to see you humiliate him.
How can anyone not fall in love with Trevor Noah? He's smart,funny,educated, well mannered, respectful (even when he's making fun of people)he can talk about fun stuff as well as serious and make people comfortable enough to just be themselves! I love the dude!!
We need a whole series of books about the right of men and women of every physical appearance. But I wish in the end of every book stands: "only arguments and facts count."
Trevor treats all his guest with so much class, this is a true gentleman.
I was thinking that too... He had big shoes to fill, taking over from Jon Stewart. But watching him in this interview, it really struck me that I think this cat has hit his stride.

Her thought process is so well defined and clearly communicated - just look at how beautifully she choses her words. Her sentences are mind blowing
True, she is playing with words.
omg...a black lady that can speak. This is sorta what she was talking about in the interview...
@@adamjohnson5307 Omg... Assumption that I am talking about her being black or lady or a black lady.!!
She is wonderful! I love that Trevor is so engaging with his guests.
“I want to make people comfortable with the fact that they are uncomfortable with me “
UNcomfortable with the fact that they are....
New life motto!!
FACTS
I'm Definitely buying her book. For one, the content & two, her writing style by breaking it into essays.
Yep, just bought it. Looking forward to a good read.
"Thick" is going on my kindle Now!
Well done Interview..Trevor and Tressie....🤗😇😎😋
Love her book. She’s a force. I had to look her up! Thanks for interviewing her Trevor 🖤
I wish they wouldn’t chop his shows up like this.
I really like her attitude and glad I found it.
Sounds like an amazing read will definitely have to check it out
Such an intelligent conversation. 🤗
Thank you

Our own people do that more. I was asked the same when I moved to America as if its surprising that I use proper grammar.

azure skii yes I agree!! I'm a Black Woman who ran in the 1972 Olympic!!! And Boy I could write a Book !!!!
I NEVER understood why black women especially them, I mean the social norms being brought upon y’all somehow always come back as hypocrites.
“You talk ghetto” - talkes with slangs whenever the chance is given.
“Your skin is too dark” - tans like crazy.
“Your lips are too big” - gets lip injections.
“Feeling insecure about your big hips, big boobies, big ass” - a must have now.
“Your hair is ... kinky” - “hi, guys today I’m gonna show you how to get black curls naturally...”.
“Your braided/Afro/dreadlocked hairstyle is so unprofessional” - OMG, I love this trend.
Do you black women. Do you...
Trevor, no one interviews like you do. You are the best, man.
I like her type; thick, outspoking, dark skin my God
I love how she speaks. It really helps me realize how I need to be a better ally. I am educated to a higher standard by her words in a beautiful way that I can easily understand.
Let the knowledge flow
I cant wait i hope i see a time on this planet where there is no skin color only human beings. Judging people by there character and nothing else.

WOW, I just read an sample of THICK. I must buy thanks
She is the featured interview for this month's issue of The Sun Magazine. Amazing depth and insight into what she observed at Trump rallies.
WOW! I loved this segment. very meaningful to someone in a different part of the world but with similar experiences.
This is the type black woman a black men need. Sexy' educated and funny.
Wow she is incredibly well spoken here. I'm very impressed by her and this topic!
Come all the way through, Tressie! I needed to hear this tonight. You are an inspiration for us all to keep walking in our strength together!
It should be better with Michelle Obama she’s the greatest black women ever elegant upstanding and real
We need a whole series of books about the right of men and women of every physical appearance. But I wish in the end of every book stands: "only arguments and facts count."
Bravo!!! She’s incredible!!👏🏾
It THICC not THICK boi learn you English
What an eloquent and thought provoking conversation!
Another beautiful Interview Trevor ❤
that's indeed needed for lightning the world! it is a great job Tressie McMillan Cottom keep it up !!
Spelled it wrong... It’s THICC
Aye she’s a professor at my university
I didn't know it was called code switching.. Good to know
5:56 !! say it loud for the people in the back.
Great Work Trevor!! Love this woman..
“I am what I am”
Took my breath away!!!!!!
-it’s ok to be who we are?
I love her!!! So excited to read Thick!
I love being me and love this interview.

I really like how Tressie approached writing this book!
Definitely going to read this
Amazing interview. Just amazing.
Wow...these two Ts are soooo cool.
