I will tell you it's America corrupted justice system it evil , and ran by the forces of of hatred. It's time that black in this country fight back fight back
I am 75. When I watched and listened to you 3 days ago I cried. It has taken me this long to comment because every time I thought (which was often) tears fell. I WANTED TO HUG YOU, like only your favorite aunt would. I wanted to sit and listen until you wanted to stop. I wanted to provide a comfort and support to you a young Black man struggling with this ... As I watched your face, body language and listened to your voice not just the words, I wanted to give you a hug. Trevor you are not alone here, you have a great aunt sending hugs and support.
@@LP-ml8ox finally someone else who has noticed a reason to be concerned for Trevor. I've been searching the comments for anyone else. This video has had me worries about him and he has been quiet since
@@medaanhil4133 you want to know what i don't see concern for the people who live in these neighborhoods. look at this young black woman. who cries for her. not Trevor ua-cam.com/video/8e1ld1uGpXA/v-deo.html
Did you read the report? If it wasn't for the video it would've been just another incident. And even with the video they're now reporting that he died because of a health issue
A few bad cops wouldn't break the system. Police are put into life-or-death situations all the time, sometimes leading to a death that is the officer's fault, but America doesn't riot for all of those deaths. It takes something truly horrifying, and part of a pattern repeated over a long period of time, to go beyond breaking the law, and break the "contract of society" as described by Trevor.
Lawmakers spend years studying laws and history to craft future laws that are just and balanced. Police are expected to uphold the laws but they train for a handful of weeks and then are out in the field. These cops are not trained and vetted. There's also an attraction to the macho image of a cop in America. Compare American cops to the ones in UK and you'll get the idea that cops here in the US are allowed to escalate an interaction. An African American person stopped by a cop for missing a turn signal and the cop walks up to the car with his gun out... this is bewildering. It does not happen in any of the other developed countries. Cops in the US for the most part are not trained the way they should be and this is why the system needs to be overhauled.
I start to understand what's going on in US after this video. In Russia I haven't seen this point of view ever. I'll tell everybody I know now about it. Social contract. This is the core thing and this is why those windows are broken. Take care, people. And let me write these three letters for the first time in my life with deep empathy - BLM!
Did you read the Story By CNN as how Your Country is paying terrorists to kill American soldiers.Dont Buy into This Democrat Bull Shit they are all deranged after Donald Trump Became The President Of The United States.And Run because You are now in trouble for treason to your country as you speak to those who Demonize Russia.
Damn, sorry, and too bad the situations hasn't changed. I fear too many Americans vote for power, not moral leadership. Thus the bad example wins and protect his own side. And the power is now rigged so moral leaders can't win. And the anger over the consequences is growing. Either those in power start acting better, or the shit will blow up in their face. And I fear they're too disconnected, too entitled, too rich, too White (as in racist White, not human white) to understand.
George Floyd 8.46 minute knee on neck 9-11 first plane 8.46 AM 8.46 minute is 526 seconds 5-26 may 26 begin BLM riots day after George died 5 + 2 + 6 = 13 high occult this and the occult kneeling ritual supposed to be for George ILLUMINATI like almost everything else please don´t watch the bodycam video released 2 weeks ago ok watch but don´t watch George die again in the end please Republicans Democrats is the same You will know them by their actions the same i suspect they manipulated his brain he was talkin so crazy from the getgo like manchurian or something or idk with optogenetics neuron manipulation idk how far they are
JohnnieVision If true or not, what did that have to do with his murder? None of that is relevant to what happen to him. You see, that is the problem. Rather than focusing on the injustice of his murder and those that murdered him, you rather try to dig and find some justification for his death. Trying to find why we should be ok with his murder or to justify why you think he deserved to die. Your thinking is why there are protests and anger that has over boiled into the streets. Because you rather find excuses for the abuse of power rather that finding ways to have equal justice for all. That’s what the protest is about, equal treatment and justice under the law. Not street judges and executioners. If you continue with your line of though, I hope karma hits you swift and hard. Maybe then you will understand when it hits home.
Dre :x I did and Martin Luther King said that he doesn’t agree with it, but he understands and realizes that as a human he shouldn’t say what people should do with their justified anger. So plz tell me why people think it’s okay now to tell them to chill out?
Not to the original post. I agree with the OP. Look up Ghandi and riots and colonial liberation. You ever hear of Nelson Mandela? He won a Nobel Peace Prize. You know what he advocated to get shit done? Oh yeah. www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/world/worldnow/la-fg-wn-nelson-mandela-legacy-violence-20131206-story.html%3f_amp=true
I’ve long been fascinated by Trevor Noah’s ability to dissect seemingly complex situations and put them in plain language that everyone can/should understand. He again hit the nail on the head with this analysis. Thanks, Trevor! You add real value to this difficult conversation that needs to finally happen in America. I hope it will so as to finally allow this country and its people to heal the wound that has been open and neglected for centuries. It’s long overdue!!!
Yup this is why I mostly want to hear his opinion on what’s going on ..it’s difficult times indeed since and even before Sandra bland these things keep happening it can’t go on
I just want to say this monologue was inspiring and powerful. I've shared it with family and friends, all white, and have been amazed at the response and empathy that it has garnered. It's been re-shared throughout our social circles and it has changed minds. My grandmother, who is supremely old-school had shivers and tears. Trevor, your talent for speaking helped people understand the need for the protests, the need for reform, and got people to understand the privilege they enjoy in a way I have never witnessed before. Thank you for your perspective and your moving way with words. It's speeches like this that change not just minds, but hearts too.
Well I also think they are scared. If the police can kill a man right in front of you, what says he can’t do the same to you? Especially after you’ve given him a reason such as assaulting him. And the police then has an angle to spin the story saying he got attacked that’s why he pulled the gun or whatever. I think they were brave enough to record and spread the video of what had happened and they were brave enough to call the paramedics and yell at the police. We can’t ask more of them.
Girl I was talk about that to my 23yr old son. A grown man taking his last breathe calling for him momma😢😢 To find out she passed away 1yr before. She was there to get her baby outta this hell!!! May he continue to rest in peace him & his momma.🙏🙏🌹🌹
Yes! I was screaming at the video! I was screaming for him to get off his neck. When he started crying out for his Momma, I broke down crying and am mourning still. It took a riot to get that evil piece of crap to be arrested. If it didn't happen, I know he wouldn't be arrested!!
"But my dear, you've been in Kansas the whole time ..." Your inner voice has probably been saying the same thing to you for years. Were that not the case, you wouldn't find it so compelling. I do not say this to diminish your praise of him.
Before Trevor goes on air he collects lots of information, analyses it carefully, and then speaks about it intelligently. During the Covid crisis I have often thought that he must have saved many lives by giving people correct and timely advice. He is clearly highly intelligent, well read, insightful and compassionate. In this article he has excelled himself. Well done Trevor!
@RED PILL PORTAL i agree i just seen a video from houston, why was there a pallet of bricks just sitting there , no construction anywhere close ,? so why was it just sitting there i wonder ???
Trevor Noah really has grown into his role on the Daily Show. The Daily Show has always straddled the lines between entertainment and news and editorial opinion, delivering insight not propaganda. This editorial is profound, and should be watched by everyone.
What he's saying is true and painful. Many people don't want to hear it. They are in the swamp.😵 Yes, Racism is a power trip but Ignorance is learned. Lol (Imagine that?) Thanks for sharing this common sense perspective.🙏❤
Trevor is brilliant in the way he makes common sense out of current events. He has a gift beyond his years. I watch him and marvel at his wisdom. His wisdom comes so natural. My friends we are watching genius at work. Listen to this young man he is able to connect with humanity.
@Free Traders no shit, Sherlock 😉 that's why he explained it so detailed, so everyone who couldn't understand the importance and weight of this situation and the following outbursts of anger/violence, would be able to empathize and get a glimpse of a reality they never encountered themselves. My parents never had to worry that my brother would get shot by police or that we would get a lesser education or salary, because of how we look. I never experienced racism towards me (or much racism overall - where I live, people are pretty open), so apart from reading about it, learning in history classes or seeing a few minutes here and there on TV, there isn't much of an experience I could rely on to even try to get the bigger picture. So yeah, it's exactly for white people like me (seriously, I might blind people when I'm out in the sun) and I'm very thankful for it!
I WISH I COULD LIKE THIS A MILLION TIMES AND PLAY THIS IN EVERY HOME, BUSINESS AND ANY PLACE WITH A SCREEN! THIS!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE ARE FEELING! THANK YOU FOR ARTICULATING THE EMOTIONS AND FOR SHARING THIS TO THE WORLD! THANK YOU!
I sent this to a few of my caucasian friends and asked them to share it with their family and friends if they really want to know how we feel because Trevor sums it up VERY WELL!!👍🏼
I do too!!! Well said, Trevor!!! Time to forge a new contract that truly benefits ALL equally. People should be seen as who they are. Skin color is irrelevant, and these cops who are racist, committing hate crimes, need to go. When that cop calmly killed that poor man, my heart shattered. I was outraged that not one of the other cops even tried to interfere. They, too, are guilty and deserve to be sentenced for murder and a hate crime!!! I will share this with everyone I know. This must stop!!!
My God, Trevor, what you’re said here is so powerful.....I hope the people who don’t “understand what has been going on for generations” learn from your carefully articulated thoughts. As you spoke, it felt exactly liked you were here in my living room with me, like we’re good friends and we were talking about what’s happening together.
They understand what's going on but have been conditioned from childhood to ignore it. If I say it doesn't exist then it doesn't example " cause I said so"
Those people who would put blames on the black people and the protesters will never sit through this analysis to try to understand anything. They all think like their master in the WH that color people have to be put in their places, they should not ask to be equal.
I totally agree with u! Well stated....with a spin on society taking accountability for their actions...starting from the top with proper leadership...so that community can fall in line by showing the good that is shown from the top on down to them...leading by example...they in turn set the tone for society to stay in good order...like a mom teaching her child to do right...
I felt everything you said. I have experienced this from an early age. I can remember being in the 1st grade and the teacher asked all of us what we wanted to be when we grew up. I said I wanted to be the president of the world. The teacher and the class laughed at me and one boy shouted out," You can't be president, your black." The teacher didn't object to his statement. This happened in 1979. The teacher was old then, I wish she lived to see Obama become president. I am a teacher now and it embarrasses me that she was a part of our occupation. Complete disregard for a young boy's elevated aspirations. I have never gone to jail, but my skin has allowed me the opportunity to "interact" with the police many times.
Thank you for your story! I guess that teacher was blind doing that time. The boy told him! You can't your black! You see he was taught! And the teacher back him because they all laugh and said nothing against it.. But now you have the chance to tell all the kids. They can be whatever they want to be.
rrrealqueen But was it so different than now? I think that people now just know it’s not PC to say those things but most still think it and actions we see today show it to still be true
@@DawnOfTheDead991 it was a kid, calm down. the point is that the teacher didnt explain about the position and instead agreed with a racist statement. if that was your only takeaway, then you are one of them
tbf, "society is a contract" is one of the most basic views on society . In addition to Rousseau if you like the whole contract view you should read Hobbes
They know he wasn’t disrespecting the flag, that is their form of dismissal. A Green Beret told him to do because that is what they do to honor a fallen soldier during the National Anthem.
I would like to hear from those who were livid about the kneeling when he did it calling him non patriotic and refusing to acknowledge the why he did it , wonder if this sheds light on understanding why movement's like black lives matter or just bending a knee means..
Trevor's point on 'social contract' verbatim: "I saw so many people online saying, 'These riots are disgusting, this is not how a society should be run, you do not loot and you do not burn, this is not how our society is built!'. And that actually triggered something in me and I was like 'Man okay, society? What is society?'. And fundamentally when you boil it down, society is a contract we sign as human beings amongst each other. 'Amongst this group of us, we agree in common rules, common ideals, and common practices that are going to define us as a group.' That's what I think a society is, it's a contract. And as with most contracts: the contract is only as strong as the people abiding by it. But if you think of being a black person in America who is living in Minneapolis or Minnesota, or any place where you're not having a good time, ask yourself this question when you watch those people: What vested interest do they have in maintaining the contract? Like, why don't we all loot? Why doesn't everybody take? Because we've agreed on things. There are so many people who are starving out there, so many people who don't have. There are people who are destitute when the virus hit and when they don't have a second paycheck they are already broke. Which is insane but that's the reality. But still: think about how many people who don't have, the have-nots, say: 'You know what, I'm still gonna play by the rules even though I have nothing because I still wish for the society to work and exist'. And then some members of that society, namely Black American people, watch time and time again how the contract they have signed with society is not being honored by the society that has forced them to sign it with them. When you watch Ahmaud Arbery being shot and you hear that those men have been released and, were it not for the video and the outrage, those people would be living their lives, what part of the contract is that in society? When you see George Floyd on the ground and you see a man losing his life in a way that no person should ever have to lose their life, at the hands of someone who is supposed to enforce the law, what part of the contract is that? And a lot of people say, 'Well, what good does this do?' Yeah, but what good doesn't it do? That's the question people don't ask the other way 'round. 'What good does it do to loot target?', 'How does it help you to loot Target?'. Yeah but how does it help you to not loot Target? Answer that question! Because the only reason you didn't loot target before was because you were upholding society's contract. There is no contract if the law and people in power don't uphold their end of it."
This looks like it might be a post worth reading. But I strongly suggest editing it and breaking it up into paragraphs. It is so hard to follow this 1 massive block of print, regardless of how good it might be
What stuck out to me with Floyd's murder was just how *casual* the brutality and abuse was. It wasn't a "heat-of-the-moment, snap judgment" situation - it was just a white man kneeling on the neck of a black man, who had no weapon, and the only allegation against him was trying to use a phony $20 bill. It was akin to seeing a fisher posing with his catch, or a hunter with his kill - it was dehumanizing as hell, and his coworkers did nothing. As for the rest - respect is a two-way street. If you don't get any respect, what the hell motive do you have to *give* it? And with peaceful protesting, I wish I could find a link to the article, but a reporter covering one that happened in England in the late 00's, early 10s asked one of the rioters what he felt destroying property would accomplish. His retort boiled down to "We protested last month, and hardly any news outlet showed up. Look around you *now* and tell me what you see." There were swarms of film crews from multiple, high-profile media outlets - and the reporter had to admit the guy made a compelling point.
And why any force at all if he’s already in handcuffs? What’s the point of handcuffs if you need to use force? I saw an episode of Cops years ago where two cops were beating the crap out of some guys who were cuffed and sitting on a park bench, unable to defend themselves. I wondered then how the cops got away with it. It’s so much worse now.
This exactly this. Police excessive force is never good. However the most shocking aspect about Floyd's case (for me at least) is exactly what you described. An officer snapping or having a fast reaction (usually firing a gun) is bad. But it's a moment and I do want to believe that sometimes it was a fast decision incorrectly made not to be actively racist but inconciously this decision being influenced by wrong preconceived ideas buried in their minds even if not on purpose. But this... This was clear as day. Floyd was passed out and he still doesn't remove his knee. Like you said it truly does seem that officer was posing, like showing off a trophy of sorts, he was enjoying it. Floyd begged the officer. Bystanders warned and begged. And still... Honestly for me that is not manslaughter, is downright murder.
The $20 bill might have been the most uncovered parts. If you use cash, you could be in possession of a counterfeit bill at any time without knowing. If he did use a counterfeit bill, he may not have even done it with criminal intent. None of this needed to happen. I wish we could have heard the original call to the police. When I worked a register, we would tell the customer that this bill is illegitimate. We would confiscate the bill and allow the customer to make the purchase with other currencies. People will be shocked they have counterfeit money. I wish we could hear the call because the people who call the police set the tone the police will use when they arrive. The police should have been interviewing Floyd to track down the origin of the bill if it was even counterfeit in the first place.
They did the same thing that they did to Eric Garner Where was all his press? His killers were never brought to justice Black people are sick of hearing how shocked people are w/ murders that have been happening in plain sight for YEARS Instead ask yourself why it took so long to finally pay attention
It's kinda sad that the most sophisticated, wise and true statement in a while is coming from a comedian. Not a news station, reporter etc. I wish, Trevor had a liking to politics, he'd be a trustworthy representant. His ability to express and explain very complex matters in a couple of smooth sentences, understandable for everyone, projecting *exactly* the picture he's painted in his head, is remarkable. One of this generations outstanding minds! Edit: thank you all for the likes, wow! And yeah, he is outstandingly smart *and* handsome, can't deny that, lol.
Also, have you noticed how many books he has actually read and presented in his show? He is such a literate man. He cited a book in this video. Trump doesn't even read memos or briefings...
I have never commented on a youtube video. I just have always felt that my ”writing” voice would diminish to nothing in this forum, and so I don't. I'm a Mexican immigrant. I'm a second-grade teacher. I'm so ordinary that sometimes it's painful to accept. So, this is not about me. I am so impressed with Trevor Noah’s talk that I am in tears with his ”Politically Correct” talk. Mr. Noah, stay true, stay strong. You don't need a ”following” because you have said your truth. I can feel your truth.
You are NOT ordinary. You are indeed VERY special. You educate and develop the minds of the future. While our education system may be awful. That doesn't change the fact that YOU are making a difference. Your impact and legacy will be felt through time. Keep doing what you are doing!
We are SO GLAD to have you in America, while there are so many bigots and ignorant people in this nation there are just as many good. I am thankful for you working with our children and I am thankful for your support in this matter! Don’t ever let these bad folk tell you your less than or not welcome here BECAUSE LET ME TELL YOU, YES YOU ARE! :)
I feel you he has moved me, I have written some comments but always try to make my point and that's it.if you can write and express yourself just do it👍✌😊
Your voice is valuable. We are all ordinary people here sharing our thoughts. Some we agree with, some we don't. But listening to one another is the best place to start. I so want children to learn how to care about and appreciate one another from their first steps. You are fortunate to be a teacher who can help them learn that.
Trevor is so articulate and deliberate in what he says. While I love and appreciate #StephenColbert #JimmyKimmel #SethMeyers #JamesCordon, as they genuinely empathize with this movement, Trevor can speak to it from a perspective they cannot... heck, most of cannot ... as an outsider, an insider, and an Apartheid South African. So much respect.

The woman threatens that she can use a black man threatening her with the police. Trevor, a fake accusation of a woman against any man is still a weapon. No one believes the man. The man is always the criminal. Sexism exists more strongly and is more common. Women are discriminated in some aspects, men are discriminated in other aspects. No one talks about the discrimination of men.
As a 50yo white man, I have been anti-racist my whole adult life -- and vehemently so for the last 20 years or so. I've spent years looking at hard truths and scouring the racism, prejudice, hate (and homophobia) that I grew up with out of my psyche. But I'm not trying to get people to see me as "one of the good ones" or some crap. I do it out of SELFISHNESS! I do it because I REFUSE to live without my soul. I DEMAND it. So when I become aggressive in my intolerance of racism, it's not because I'm some damn "hero". I'm just not giving up my soul by enabling, tolerating or ignoring your racism. Racism is a disease. Racists themselves may not be my enemy, but they are carriers of a disease that's going to have to go one way or another. So if you're a white American and you think that racism is only a problem for non-whites...
Thank you for standing up for what is right and making your voice loud and clear. As a minority (one side of my family is black), we need folks who look like the oppressors to help the oppressed. 🙏🏾

FLYING DREAM PRODUCTIONS I think you’re an embarrassment but just like Trevor we’re all entitled to our opinions. People want equality not privilege for one race of people.
@@cdixon198 This is not about opinion. Whites don't have definitive privilege when it comes to police. The statistics say so. The only way claims can be made for "white privilege" is by messing subjective definitions of oppression. That's what makes this so sad. because the numbers run so close that even if there WAS racism toward blacks it couldn't be definitively proven, yet you'll choose the narrative that is false and pessimistic because somehow that's the more popular one and/or comfortable one and/or you won't do the research to learn the statistical truth.
His hand was in his pocket so he could flair out his pant leg enough so you couldn't see how he was slowly grinding his knee up and down on Floyds neck. HE WAS TRYING TO SNAP HIS NECK! LOOK CLOSELY!
How easily and without thought or compassion this "officer" kept his knee on this man's neck for 9 and a half minutes. Count. Set a timer. Have someone say "I can't breathe. Please, please. Then hear them , so close to death they call for their Mother. Try to ignore that. If. you can , well you are the one who should be under that knee
It is a good history of Black American history of the past 6 or 7 days. He neglects to speak of the contract since 1619. In other words, we have memories that cover the past 401 years, including the past 168 hours or so. What sort of deal have we (Blacks) gotten since arriving on the North American continent should be factored. Just sayin'.
Trevor, this is very much a “Jon Stewart” moment in terms of you eloquently voicing the frustrations that many of us feel in a way that is measured, intelligent, and comes from a place of true compassionate leadership. Thank you for this.
The cop was wrong and I'm glad they arrested him for murder...But the protestors are destroying businesses owned by black people who have now lost everything...imagine losing your family business or your job at Wendy's?--they arrested the cop who was guilty, so why keep protesting? Guess it's just an excuse to loot and burn...who will stop it if we have no more cops? Should all cops be judged by some who are bad?

These aren't one-off incidents that nobody could have foreseen, they are persistent, repeated violations of public trust. They allow these crimes against the public to happen daily, but only the outright deaths make the news. They all know the state of things, they all know who these 'bad apples' are, and they don't stop them. They don't get them fired. They don't arrest them. They don't act to make things better. They let things fester for years, for decades. In that way, they are complicit. They deserve to be judged for that.

As an ex-pat, I'm just now seeing this because so many of the Daily Show videos aren't available in Italy. Trevor, you hit the nail on the head. That last question you posed, I'd love to see it used as a talking point on all our issues.
This is a lovely sentiment, and as you said, important. I hope this note gets to Trevor. Change-agents get tired too and your insight would give him light. ⚘ In solidarity, -L💪
The most articulate, insightful, yet clearly heartfelt commentary I've heard on these events, and their connection, anywhere. I'm forwarding this to everyone I know.
Yes. Trevor's commentary is a beautiful synthesis of heart and mind. The clarity of his analogy is practical genius and his words are spoken with a calmly understated passion. He's quite a teacher, our Professor Noah.
I agree. As a white woman, I can’t begin to know how others whose skin color. The closest I get is going somewhere with my adult son. He has a strange haircut. Shave on the sides and a strip of hair on the top. People treat him differently, I get treated differently because I am with him. He isn’t like our “normal” accepted white person we expect.
67 years??? Wtf man?? Come on shut your mouth. Get off the internet, go live on the woods. You don't belong in the rest of society like the loser antifa members and their mainstream media sympathizers. You are so incredibly wrong.
Wake up citizens !!! Can you see what it´s happening her ???Who do you think make this happens?? A police officer looking at a camera in almost 10 minutes and wait for a man to die ?? The man was neutralized , why they didn´t take him in the car?? Did Trevor tell you that these 2 men was working as a security gard together in a bar , the knew each other !!! It´s George Soros (the globalists who are taking all our countries down, not just USA) who arrange this to destroy the credibility of Donald Trump (because actually a lot of black people are starting to realise what he´s doing and are ready to vote for him). Instead to focus on the medias (who ARE a part of these globalists) try to fokuse on what Donald Trump is doing (he took back the FED bank to protect YOU and all countries so the globalists don´t go on to take us down with a false economy, it´s HUGE !!), he´s stopping the pedocriminalite in the whole world (already found 50 000 children since oktober 2019, protect you from the censure on the sociale medier, his economy was much better before the virus , ....If you can see that , what a pity. The medias are so corrupted, all of them.
We live in strange times. We have the same effect here in Germoney. Martin Sonneborn who is supposed to be an entertainer is one of the few people who talks sense in public politics. Warm regards and unconditionally solidarity from Germoney
I Loved that yes. However, little do we realize but Trevor is a very analytical chap and his final content emerges from intense critical analyses of the content at hand. I think this comes from the tightroped nature of his background/upbringing: he has the ability to change his lens with ease.
He has got really deep thoughts. He doesn't make a rash decision on how to think about this. He takes his time, sorts his thoughts and only then he makes his statement. Loved how he paused to think at around 12:04. Didn't even notice it on the first watch. Great man! Solidarity from Germany!
If America wants to eradicate racism between black and white, the only way is to never teach your children to be a racist, in a couple hundred years old people will die out along with their racism.
Trevor, thank you. As a middle aged white male, I have been trying to put into words what I have been seeing and what I have been hearing from other white males, and you describe it perfectly. Thank you for your voice, it is what I needed and what I believe as well. I wish our leaders had similar views.
Certainly not easy to give such a sobering perspective on something so volatile and emotionally charged. I have utmost respect for all that has been said in this video.
Mr. Noah, I don’t know if you read these comments but I would like you to know how much I appreciate you. I struggle as a white woman trying to explain these concepts to people in my life because of my perspective. I empathize but I cannot completely understand because I have not lived those experiences. The way that you turn a phrase, create message, construct language is masterful. You help me better understand, and in turn, I hope I can plant seeds to help others understand as well. Thank you sir.
Wamlambezzz!! Man it's so sad to see what's going on over there... I mean, we have our own problems to take care of but to see our brothers being killed for the colour of their skin... It's fuckin unacceptable
The ONLY reason we are talking about this is because someone was able to film it. His death would simply have been deemed a "medical" complication and life would have gone on just fine for the perpetrators.
Yes the power of technology puts despicableble acts in the spotlight for all to see, when before, these acts where hidden. Yet we do not see changes it sight. There will soon be a tipping point.
@@someguy6135 Yeah what is the clinical diagnosis called when 3 cops kneel on your neck, back and legs while you are already handcuffed? I forget, can you remind me what that is called?
Rioting is different from looting. Yeah maybe burning the police station is maybe justified. But burning and looting innocent people's shops who had no hand in this. That is a shame. Trevor did a terrible thing saying that it's it's okay to loot. Really brother? It's okay to loot your house, do unspeakable things to you and your family because 4 bad apples murdered another human..? No. Sad 😒
It’s also the language of the tired and those who are always hearing that they are wrong. There is only so much injustice someone can see before rational no longer means anything.
I can think of one that people just don't use enough... don't spend any money at establishments that are owned by people you disagree with. And let them know it loud and clear.
Standing Ovations to you Trevor! Best Explanation ever! One of the most powerful and honest Speeches I heard my whole Life. The World needs more People like you Trevor. Thank you from the bottom of my Heart.
Try Beau of the fifth column his videos last night and today on this. Don't be put off by the way he looks, just watch the whole thing. You might be surprised.
I was thinking the same things but Trevor has articulated the issues perfectly. Without a script. Comfortable with silence when he needs to think how best to frame his words. If only our leaders knew how to carefully, calmly, forensically deconstruct the problem, present it and deliver solutions that everyone can agree to try.
@@t0paz568 .....don't be so disingenuous, did you even listen to what he was saying....his analysis is trying to provide an explanation and rationale (not a justification) for why this is happening....at no point did he condone the violence....without understanding why this is happening and acknowledging that it is wrong, can you begin to remedy and correct the situation i.e. that in America, society has broken the implicitly agreed social contract.....it was a brilliant presentation, the point of which you have totally failed to comprehend
@@bluesteel5688 looting is not good just looky here ua-cam.com/video/8e1ld1uGpXA/v-deo.html usally i like him but take from this link. his argument is stupid.
brendan you have not really listened you heard what you wanted! Right now some states with peaceful protests have used the police force to oppress people protesting against police violence. Throughout history we can't speak is what he said, always being told this way is wrong, that way is wrong. This WE is now royal because even though the focus is Black lives matter people of all ethnicities are united in this cause. What he is saying is instead of Trump threatening citizens on twitter, had the president taken accountability and enforced accountability on police chiefs and governors then rioting probably wouldn't have started in the first place. By refusing to protect citizens of colour we have effectively been excluded from social constructs but it's a shock if we act outside of the social constructs. Lest we forget that white people taught us how to riot!
@@Godisgood-mm3tr you dumb fuck, if someone makes a crime, they go to jail, George have already served that time in it, can't someone change? isn't that what prison time is for??? fuck yourself, he was unarmed
@@Godisgood-mm3tr except Chauvin didn’t know he was handling a former prisoner, all he knew was a man possibly used a fake bill. So as far as he knew he killed an innocent man because he felt like it.
i'M NOT SO SURE WHY PPL ARE SO IMPRESSED WITH WORDS....WORDS ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ACTION....ITS JUST GOOD THAT THE PROTEST IS ALMOST WORLD WIDE.THAT SHOWS PEOPLE ARE PAST FED UP!!.....WORDS ARE NOTHING TO POLICE,POLITICIANS,ETC.ACTION IS WHAT IT TAKES!
And more times than not getting away with it or a slap on the wrist.. Getting Fired don't mean shit, they will just get hired at another precinct. You know how it works. A dead Black guy and white Cops who move on & never Accountable.
WOW - Trevor that was the most brilliant expiation I've ever heard , You built your argument brick by brick into a magnificent monument - THANK YOU SO MUCH.
For the past 3 months I have rewatched this clip again and again for comfort. Trevor can always articulates what I can’t. His explanation of the the stakes we have in the social contract and how different they are based on race... idk it makes me feel less alone in all this. I have nothing but gratitude for him
"When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties." - Marquis de Lafayette
Er... the government isn't violating anyeones rights, The goverments and Trump even said what happened was wrong. But LOOTING AND VOILENCE ARE NOT A DAMN RIGHT. Citizens have a right to be protected FROM LOOTING AND VIOLENCE.
I could have sat in that moment of silence for hours. There’s something so powerful about the way Trevor bares the truth to us, and every word had the weight of a bag of sand. Society is a contract, police are looting black bodies.
When you have your hand in your pocket, while simultaneously your knee on the neck of a man killing him... that is killing while casual. That “officer” is a sociopath. He calmly killed George Floyd. Rest with the Angels brother 😔
The officer must be devoid of any humanity. How you knee on a persons neck for minutes, listen to their pleas and just wait ... that is beyond me. And how his colleagues just wait with him. Nobody should have to die like this.
Because its not Target's fault? I agree with you overall, but protesters are burning cars of innocent people in my neighborhood. How are you going to protest innocent death by attacking other innocent people or their property. To me, that is just not logical and is ultimately unproductive because those people who you looted are not going to make cops stop hurting people.
I’m from Luton, England, just outside of London. My family is Guyanese but I was born here. I’ve experienced racism and the overwhelming fear that it entails. That video has burnt a indelible mark in my mind. Much like Rodney King (RIP 👑). I wake up and fall asleep with the image of that pig kneeling on George Floyd’s neck. “I can’t breathe” with stay with me forever. We saw the light fade from his eyes. I’m truly saddened by the state of humanity, especially America. It’s the year 2020, not the 1950’s! Rest easy George, I pray you get justice. 🙏🏽
This captures my nightmare exactly! If this can happen to an African-American, what hope is there for an 'African-Africa' in America specifically but also all over the world!!!? A very sad day for those of us who are deceived by the message that the developed world is civilise!
@@hassanabu2750 fortunately for Native born Africans in America, the Racism in America has a special disdain just for African-Americans. I would think Africans probably have a better experience in America than African-American. I think it probably has something to do with having a foreign accent, people with accents can have a good experience if they know how to leverage it. But of course anything can happen, there are no rules to it.
@@thetayterminator1436 A lot of Africans in America don't have an accent so are treated like every other black person. Foreigners sadly can be treated better than black Americans but still like trash. The relationship between Africans and African Americans is honestly the saddest because there's bullying of Africans (African booty scratcher) because black Americans have been taught to look down on Africans like everyone else in the world. Africans have been taught to look down and badly treat black Americans because of the racist marketing campaign America has created through the media and films of African Americans!
I'm a George Floyd that didn't die. I had a boot put on my head by a cop that got aggressive with mw in the parking lot of the Home Depot I used to work at 11 years ago.. They said I was loitering. I thought I was safe because I'm a bit lightskinned and pretty and educated and I sold appliances and countertops. But that opened my eyes personally.. I have had white folk threaten to call police on me for doing something they wouldn't bat an eye at a blonde haired girl or guy doing or saying. It's sickening. My first reaction was upset about the looting but that was my whiteness speaking, I'm really glad folks like you are speaking about this for those of us aware of our bias and willing to listen. Definitely feeling more sympathetic toward the looters now. Overall, most of the protests have been peaceful and a lot of people are still wearing their covod masks. If anything should reopen first I'm glad it has been activism for social justice and anti-racism ❤
Imagine "feeling more sympathetic" toward the people who are burning down black owned businesses and communities...you, as well as they, are part of the problem
Kazuma Blackwing I agree. People see something has happened and take it way too far, the majority of people in these protests are peaceful, but then there’s those who just burn stuff. If they wanted to actually do it properly they wouldn’t have done anything more than a peaceful protest. That’s how Martin Luther King did it and it worked very well
@@toastiboi7618 Meanwhile police slaughter people in open daylight. Most only get a slap on the wrist and the few that get sued only get fired. Murder should be something you go to jail for not just fired. I do not support looting and rioting, but not because of the oh so valuable TV, rather because people that protest whether it is peaceful or not are in danger of getting murdered by the police. I don't know about the place where you live, but where I live theft and vandalism is not to be punished by immediate execution on open streets by police, without trial.
I'm not form US and I like this guy's show. And it sadenes me to see what he is talking about right now. He argues that it is justified that people looted local, family run stores as well as big stores. He doesn't condemn ruining somebodies life's businesses. As a person coming from a country destroied in WW2 it sadenes me to here it is OK to ruin sombodies life spendings&efforts as a protest of others wrongdoing
@@marmil8948 so you missed THE WHOLE POINTS OR YOU PLAYING REVERSE CARD ON LIKE HE IS SAYING THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE DESERVE , HE DIDN'T. But will break it for you. YOU'RE already PROVING his WHOLE point, now the dead is not the same as the leaving sorry for people making SURE IN THERE CAPABILITY NOT TO HAVE ANYONE DYING ,SINCE WHITE FOLKS HAVE MADE SURE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER EVEN SO THAT WHEN A WHITES LIFESTYLE IS DOOMED AND ARE ACTUALLY KILLING THEMSELF WITH THERE LIFESTYLES THE OTHER WHITE FOLKS WILL MAKE SURE IN THERE BEST WAYS TO PREVENT THAT , THEY MIGHT SUCCEED OR DELAY ATLEAST. SO WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT THE BLACKS NEED STAY NUMB ON SURGERY TABLE FOREVER. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FOREVER ...
@@marmil8948 Non-US here and I agree with you. The violence diminishes the legitimacy of the protest. Yet I'm unable to dismiss the fact that there seems to be no other way. Do you think the current administration would be pressured into changing something for the better by even numerous peaceful protestors? We are talking about a leadership that clearly does not comprehend democracy. Not to mention this kind of change towards equality is beyond the capabilities of the state, by virtue of its cultural nature. One thing is for sure, the US is walking on thinner and thinner ice, while the rest of the democratic world is watching in horror.
Trevor: You have brilliantly stated and expressed so many heartfelt truths. Painful truths. Your Contract analogy speaks volumes, and I appreciate your intellectual and extremely thoughtful manner in sharing from the heart.
Steven B. It’s a way to discredit powerful and influential black men. You hear the same said about Martin Luther King. It’s complete foolishness and what’s better known as trolling today.
Dear Trevor Noah, you brighten my mind, my heart. I am a Canadian from Montreal, who once fell in love with a young black Canadian (orig from Dominican Republic). He deepened my empathy for people of color, and still does . We need this now, more than we have in my lifetime...Profoundly. I am heavy-hearted yet hopeful , since George Floyd’s effect on the world...Especially as a white person, now relocated to Houston TX . You help me. Your eloquence, intelligence & thoughtful expression give my soul hope in this this time of protest... Faith that we all begin to help heal the darkest wounds blacks in America have carried for too long. Sincerest thanks.💜 #EducationForALL 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿
From Native America, we understand your pain, we love you, we stand with you against these injustices. Together, we will defeat this latest wave of racists and bigots. Stay strong, and keep standing, brothers and sisters. We will get through this together. 💖✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿💖
Just so you know the supposed blacks were in America before the supposed trans Atlantic slave trade. They just as much natives of America as anyone. I say this respectfully. Peace and blessings.
Many of those people that are being called black are native americans, we were here long before the European arrived, our plight is one, straight haired and curly haired natives need to come together
"The fact that he was so calm doing it" this gives me chills. Wow. I can't even wrap at how any human being could do this to another human being...especially in public. The white cop did not even blink an eye. What also pissed me off was that they didn't even resuscitate him, that's how Fucking heartless and inhumane those cops were and I KNOW they were trained to do so. We need justice.
KLS- 95 the fact that he didn't even lift his leg when the paramedics arrived proves motive and callousness. He wasn't eliminating a threat he was making sure he was done murdering him.
KLS: people who are completely calm when they commit horrible acts of violence are generally sociopaths. He didn't do it because he lost control of his feelings. He did it while completely in control of his feelings.
The fatal flaw in our justice system is omni-present. Professionals, GOVT officials, those in positions of power, need to be under the harshest of penalties in our land in terms of failure. Not the opposite. If you let it go as we have, you have the protected class who are most capable of doing the most harm. That is no different than a monarchy, not at all the basis of democracy.
I'm not 100% sure this is fact, I heard the officer who obviously believed he is above the law, actually worked with Floyd in a bar as bouncers..... what a twisted piece of the puzzle
I grow to admire and love Trevor Noah daily. This video legitimizes why he's the kind of person we need in this day and age. Thanks for stating what many of us are feeling in such an incredibly clear and balanced way.
Dr Sweetie Summons, We are on same page,quite agree with you. Trevor is one comedian i have so much respect for, his take and analysis on this Floyd drama, has really blown me away. Saying things that are in most peoples mind. By the way i am black!
😂 That moment all you idiots realise this guy had multiple burglary charges, multiple cocain charges, and at one point held a gun to a pregnant womans stomach as he searched het house for money and drugs. He just moved to minnesota from texas where he was recently released from prison. He also did not suffocate. Both the official autopsy AND the private doctor hired by his family found the death to be from pre-existing conditions contributed to by being arrested for using a fake 20$ bill, driving drunk, and resisting arrest.😂 You cant script this kind of comedy
@@whyigotbanned2913 you don't get it. That's not the point. No one should ever have to died like that no matter what they did. Especially in a Democratic Society that we claim to be. The police exist to UPHOLD the law, not take it into their own hands. Regardless of his past, that doesn't change the fact that a black man was murdered by a police officer. Just like the COUNTLESS other black men who were victims of police brutality. There is no amount of pathetic excuses that can justify or change these facts.
“...legitimacy is based on three things. First of all, the people who are asked to obey authority have to feel like they have a voice--that if they speak up, they will be heard. Second, the law has to be predictable. There has to be a reasonable expectation that the rules tomorrow are going to be roughly the same as the rules today. And third, the authority has to be fair. It can't treat one group differently from another.”
In a way, Trevor getting the gig for the Daily Show was kind of a disservice. His ability to deliver heartfelt and sincere insights is so much greater than what he can churn out for the highest level of pop news media on a daily basis. When he does these scrappier essays and harder interviews from his housing and outside the production studio, it's just so much more relatable.
I think with his role (that you think of a disservice) is actually a good thing, because he gained a lot more traction and had a bigger voice but I do agree that this format is more relatable without any laugh tracks.
@@praneeta8777 You mean without a studio audience? I agree with your comment but laugh tracks makes it sound like a crappy sitcom instead of live people laughing and reacting. FWIW I've been in the audience twice now, it was a great time. No "Between the Scenes" while I was there, alas, but you do see him getting all prepped face- and reaction-wise for the next thing he'll say while the news clips etc. are playing-- pretty amusing! :)
In fairness, there’s a strong chance that we wouldn’t be watching this video if he wasn’t given the Daily Show. What’s great is he’s using his stage differently than others do.
Hed be a great elementary school teacher i feel like he could explain complex stuff in a way little 8-9 year olds could easily understand and comprehend
@@holyarmageddon19 I didn't hear him set those expectations at all. What I heard was if society always do what it always done, then it always get what it has always gotten.

Did you read the report? If it wasn't for the video it would've been just another incident. And even with the video they're now reporting that he died because of a health issue
When those who make the laws, break the laws, there is no law.
But the police don't make laws -- so there are still laws.
@@americancitizen748 Then let me rephrase it for you: When those who were sworn to uphold the laws and break them, laws lose their meaning.
A few bad cops wouldn't break the system. Police are put into life-or-death situations all the time, sometimes leading to a death that is the officer's fault, but America doesn't riot for all of those deaths. It takes something truly horrifying, and part of a pattern repeated over a long period of time, to go beyond breaking the law, and break the "contract of society" as described by Trevor.
Interesting logos......
Lawmakers spend years studying laws and history to craft future laws that are just and balanced. Police are expected to uphold the laws but they train for a handful of weeks and then are out in the field. These cops are not trained and vetted. There's also an attraction to the macho image of a cop in America. Compare American cops to the ones in UK and you'll get the idea that cops here in the US are allowed to escalate an interaction. An African American person stopped by a cop for missing a turn signal and the cop walks up to the car with his gun out... this is bewildering. It does not happen in any of the other developed countries. Cops in the US for the most part are not trained the way they should be and this is why the system needs to be overhauled.
I start to understand what's going on in US after this video. In Russia I haven't seen this point of view ever. I'll tell everybody I know now about it. Social contract. This is the core thing and this is why those windows are broken. Take care, people. And let me write these three letters for the first time in my life with deep empathy - BLM!

Damn, sorry, and too bad the situations hasn't changed. I fear too many Americans vote for power, not moral leadership. Thus the bad example wins and protect his own side. And the power is now rigged so moral leaders can't win. And the anger over the consequences is growing. Either those in power start acting better, or the shit will blow up in their face.

JohnnieVision If true or not, what did that have to do with his murder? None of that is relevant to what happen to him. You see, that is the problem. Rather than focusing on the injustice of his murder and those that murdered him, you rather try to dig and find some justification for his death. Trying to find why we should be ok with his murder or to justify why you think he deserved to die. Your thinking is why there are protests and anger that has over boiled into the streets. Because you rather find excuses for the abuse of power rather that finding ways to have equal justice for all. That’s what the protest is about, equal treatment and justice under the law. Not street judges and executioners. If you continue with your line of though, I hope karma hits you swift and hard. Maybe then you will understand when it hits home.

I’ve long been fascinated by Trevor Noah’s ability to dissect seemingly complex situations and put them in plain language that everyone can/should understand. He again hit the nail on the head with this analysis. Thanks, Trevor! You add real value to this difficult conversation that needs to finally happen in America. I hope it will so as to finally allow this country and its people to heal the wound that has been open and neglected for centuries. It’s long overdue!!!
I sometimes get chills, it's like he's the Baldwin of our generation.
Yup this is why I mostly want to hear his opinion on what’s going on ..it’s difficult times indeed since and even before Sandra bland these things keep happening it can’t go on
Trevor is from South Africa. Of course he can deconstruct what is happening in America now. Look at South African history.
Trevor, I'm not sure how often you're told this, but you have an insight and wisdom that is rare in this world. Preach on, man.
I just want to say this monologue was inspiring and powerful. I've shared it with family and friends, all white, and have been amazed at the response and empathy that it has garnered. It's been re-shared throughout our social circles and it has changed minds. My grandmother, who is supremely old-school had shivers and tears. Trevor, your talent for speaking helped people understand the need for the protests, the need for reform, and got people to understand the privilege they enjoy in a way I have never witnessed before. Thank you for your perspective and your moving way with words. It's speeches like this that change not just minds, but hearts too.

Well I also think they are scared. If the police can kill a man right in front of you, what says he can’t do the same to you? Especially after you’ve given him a reason such as assaulting him. And the police then has an angle to spin the story saying he got attacked that’s why he pulled the gun or whatever. I think they were brave enough to record and spread the video of what had happened and they were brave enough to call the paramedics and yell at the police. We can’t ask more of them.
I think if someone tried to interfere, they would have been shot and the officer would have said “he feared for his life”.
The other coward 👮would have emptied his clip in the citizen that would have tried to do that.
A small price to pay for saving a man's life, I'm upset no one did.
I thought about this too. But that may even cause more deaths, as the police now have an excuse of using violence.
What breaks my heart is he called for momma. I can never unhear that. God have mercy on us.
And, more painful, his mother died 2 years ago
I know. Me too.
The poor woman who recorded the video is traumatized too. 😥
Girl I was talk about that to my 23yr old son. A grown man taking his last breathe calling for him momma😢😢 To find out she passed away 1yr before. She was there to get her baby outta this hell!!! May he continue to rest in peace him & his momma.🙏🙏🌹🌹
Me as well, it was his fear that broke my heart.
Yes! I was screaming at the video! I was screaming for him to get off his neck. When he started crying out for his Momma, I broke down crying and am mourning still. It took a riot to get that evil piece of crap to be arrested. If it didn't happen, I know he wouldn't be arrested!!
I have never heard anything like this. This is spot on. Trevor, we are so lucky to have you. Thank you for properly using your platform.
Thank you Trevor.

@@Gogetta80 why is that the only option if you care about what is going on with our Black fellow Americans and the police.
Before Trevor goes on air he collects lots of information, analyses it carefully, and then speaks about it intelligently. During the Covid crisis I have often thought that he must have saved many lives by giving people correct and timely advice. He is clearly highly intelligent, well read, insightful and compassionate.
In this article he has excelled himself.
Well done Trevor!

Trevor Noah really has grown into his role on the Daily Show. The Daily Show has always straddled the lines between entertainment and news and editorial opinion, delivering insight not propaganda. This editorial is profound, and should be watched by everyone.
What he said was so true... very profound
Trevor has become as good or better than Stewart IMHO. I've loved him since he took over...but lately he's just become the GOAT.
What he's saying is true and painful. Many people don't want to hear it. They are in the swamp.😵
Yes, Racism is a power trip but Ignorance is learned. Lol
(Imagine that?)
Thanks for sharing this common sense perspective.🙏❤
Hilarious. His days are numbered. All these fools are being exposed...... for what they are
Yes, but he's also been growing on his own as a person even before hosting. He is well spoken and well read, and deeply empathetic.
Trevor
is brilliant in the way he makes common sense out of current events. He has a gift beyond his years. I watch him and marvel at his wisdom. His wisdom comes so natural. My friends we are watching genius at work. Listen to this young man he is able to connect with humanity.
Annie Helton yesssssssss! Gosh I so love listening to him.
@Free Traders no shit, Sherlock 😉 that's why he explained it so detailed, so everyone who couldn't understand the importance and weight of this situation and the following outbursts of anger/violence, would be able to empathize and get a glimpse of a reality they never encountered themselves.
My parents never had to worry that my brother would get shot by police or that we would get a lesser education or salary, because of how we look. I never experienced racism towards me (or much racism overall - where I live, people are pretty open), so apart from reading about it, learning in history classes or seeing a few minutes here and there on TV, there isn't much of an experience I could rely on to even try to get the bigger picture. So yeah, it's exactly for white people like me (seriously, I might blind people when I'm out in the sun) and I'm very thankful for it!
I WISH I COULD LIKE THIS A MILLION TIMES AND PLAY THIS IN EVERY HOME, BUSINESS AND ANY PLACE WITH A SCREEN! THIS!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE ARE FEELING! THANK YOU FOR ARTICULATING THE EMOTIONS AND FOR SHARING THIS TO THE WORLD! THANK YOU!
Yes.
Me too.
I sent this to a few of my caucasian friends and asked them to share it with their family and friends if they really want to know how we feel because Trevor sums it up VERY WELL!!👍🏼
I do too!!! Well said, Trevor!!! Time to forge a new contract that truly benefits ALL equally. People should be seen as who they are. Skin color is irrelevant, and these cops who are racist, committing hate crimes, need to go. When that cop calmly killed that poor man, my heart shattered. I was outraged that not one of the other cops even tried to interfere. They, too, are guilty and deserve to be sentenced for murder and a hate crime!!! I will share this with everyone I know. This must stop!!!

@@Namazuros Yeah well I just like seeing triggered idiots
My God, Trevor, what you’re said here is so powerful.....I hope the people who don’t “understand what has been going on for generations” learn from your carefully articulated thoughts. As you spoke, it felt exactly liked you were here in my living room with me, like we’re good friends and we were talking about what’s happening together.
They understand what's going on but have been conditioned from childhood to ignore it. If I say it doesn't exist then it doesn't example " cause I said so"
Those people who would put blames on the black people and the protesters will never sit through this analysis to try to understand anything. They all think like their master in the WH that color people have to be put in their places, they should not ask to be equal.
I felt the exact same way.
I totally agree with u! Well stated....with a spin on society taking accountability for their actions...starting from the top with proper leadership...so that community can fall in line by showing the good that is shown from the top on down to them...leading by example...they in turn set the tone for society to stay in good order...like a mom teaching her child to do right...
Yes it was powerful and touching because he is factual and bluntly to the point
I felt everything you said. I have experienced this from an early age. I can remember being in the 1st grade and the teacher asked all of us what we wanted to be when we grew up. I said I wanted to be the president of the world. The teacher and the class laughed at me and one boy shouted out," You can't be president, your black." The teacher didn't object to his statement. This happened in 1979. The teacher was old then, I wish she lived to see Obama become president. I am a teacher now and it embarrasses me that she was a part of our occupation. Complete disregard for a young boy's elevated aspirations. I have never gone to jail, but my skin has allowed me the opportunity to "interact" with the police many times.
Thank you for your story! I guess that teacher was blind doing that time. The boy told him! You can't your black! You see he was taught! And the teacher back him because they all laugh and said nothing against it.. But now you have the chance to tell all the kids. They can be whatever they want to be.
@@SuperSpace2009 the world was soo.. *different* back then..

You can never be the president of the world. That office doesn't exist. Your IQ is so low
@@DawnOfTheDead991 it was a kid, calm down. the point is that the teacher didnt explain about the position and instead agreed with a racist statement. if that was your only takeaway, then you are one of them
I see why Jon chose you. Your commentary and interview skills are impeccable. “Society is a contract”. Perfect doesn’t quite describe it
I guess he read Jean-Jacques Rousseau, his analysis is quite on point
Lets hop he use this skills for the better
tbf, "society is a contract" is one of the most basic views on society .
In addition to Rousseau if you like the whole contract view you should read Hobbes

👍Well Said 👍✌Thanks 👍✌
They know he wasn’t disrespecting the flag, that is their form of dismissal. A Green Beret told him to do because that is what they do to honor a fallen soldier during the National Anthem.
I would like to hear from those who were livid about the kneeling when he did it calling him non patriotic and refusing to acknowledge the why he did it , wonder if this sheds light on understanding why movement's like black lives matter or just bending a knee means..
Trevor's point on 'social contract' verbatim:
"I saw so many people online saying, 'These riots are disgusting, this is not how a society should be run, you do not loot and you do not burn, this is not how our society is built!'. And that actually triggered something in me and I was like 'Man okay, society? What is society?'. And fundamentally when you boil it down, society is a contract we sign as human beings amongst each other. 'Amongst this group of us, we agree in common rules, common ideals, and common practices that are going to define us as a group.' That's what I think a society is, it's a contract. And as with most contracts: the contract is only as strong as the people abiding by it. But if you think of being a black person in America who is living in Minneapolis or Minnesota, or any place where you're not having a good time, ask yourself this question when you watch those people: What vested interest do they have in maintaining the contract? Like, why don't we all loot? Why doesn't everybody take? Because we've agreed on things. There are so many people who are starving out there, so many people who don't have. There are people who are destitute when the virus hit and when they don't have a second paycheck they are already broke. Which is insane but that's the reality. But still: think about how many people who don't have, the have-nots, say: 'You know what, I'm still gonna play by the rules even though I have nothing because I still wish for the society to work and exist'. And then some members of that society, namely Black American people, watch time and time again how the contract they have signed with society is not being honored by the society that has forced them to sign it with them. When you watch Ahmaud Arbery being shot and you hear that those men have been released and, were it not for the video and the outrage, those people would be living their lives, what part of the contract is that in society? When you see George Floyd on the ground and you see a man losing his life in a way that no person should ever have to lose their life, at the hands of someone who is supposed to enforce the law, what part of the contract is that? And a lot of people say, 'Well, what good does this do?' Yeah, but what good doesn't it do? That's the question people don't ask the other way 'round. 'What good does it do to loot target?', 'How does it help you to loot Target?'. Yeah but how does it help you to not loot Target? Answer that question! Because the only reason you didn't loot target before was because you were upholding society's contract. There is no contract if the law and people in power don't uphold their end of it."
this should be the top comment
Now do the rest of it... 😎
Ya us black people should move back to our homeland in Africa and start a new Anti-racist society!
This looks like it might be a post worth reading. But I strongly suggest editing it and breaking it up into paragraphs. It is so hard to follow this 1 massive block of print, regardless of how good it might be
What stuck out to me with Floyd's murder was just how *casual* the brutality and abuse was. It wasn't a "heat-of-the-moment, snap judgment" situation - it was just a white man kneeling on the neck of a black man, who had no weapon, and the only allegation against him was trying to use a phony $20 bill. It was akin to seeing a fisher posing with his catch, or a hunter with his kill - it was dehumanizing as hell, and his coworkers did nothing.
As for the rest - respect is a two-way street. If you don't get any respect, what the hell motive do you have to *give* it?
And with peaceful protesting, I wish I could find a link to the article, but a reporter covering one that happened in England in the late 00's, early 10s asked one of the rioters what he felt destroying property would accomplish. His retort boiled down to "We protested last month, and hardly any news outlet showed up. Look around you *now* and tell me what you see." There were swarms of film crews from multiple, high-profile media outlets - and the reporter had to admit the guy made a compelling point.
And why any force at all if he’s already in handcuffs? What’s the point of handcuffs if you need to use force? I saw an episode of Cops years ago where two cops were beating the crap out of some guys who were cuffed and sitting on a park bench, unable to defend themselves. I wondered then how the cops got away with it. It’s so much worse now.
This exactly this. Police excessive force is never good. However the most shocking aspect about Floyd's case (for me at least) is exactly what you described. An officer snapping or having a fast reaction (usually firing a gun) is bad. But it's a moment and I do want to believe that sometimes it was a fast decision incorrectly made not to be actively racist but inconciously this decision being influenced by wrong preconceived ideas buried in their minds even if not on purpose. But this... This was clear as day. Floyd was passed out and he still doesn't remove his knee. Like you said it truly does seem that officer was posing, like showing off a trophy of sorts, he was enjoying it. Floyd begged the officer. Bystanders warned and begged. And still... Honestly for me that is not manslaughter, is downright murder.
@@franciscarodrigues3629 dont forget how he asked him to stand up. It's like saying "why are you hitting yourself?" to the max
The $20 bill might have been the most uncovered parts. If you use cash, you could be in possession of a counterfeit bill at any time without knowing. If he did use a counterfeit bill, he may not have even done it with criminal intent.
None of this needed to happen. I wish we could have heard the original call to the police. When I worked a register, we would tell the customer that this bill is illegitimate. We would confiscate the bill and allow the customer to make the purchase with other currencies.
People will be shocked they have counterfeit money. I wish we could hear the call because the people who call the police set the tone the police will use when they arrive.
The police should have been interviewing Floyd to track down the origin of the bill if it was even counterfeit in the first place.
They did the same thing that they did to Eric Garner
Where was all his press?
His killers were never brought to justice
Black people are sick of hearing how shocked people are w/ murders that have been happening in plain sight for YEARS
Instead ask yourself why it took so long to finally pay attention
It's kinda sad that the most sophisticated, wise and true statement in a while is coming from a comedian. Not a news station, reporter etc.
I wish, Trevor had a liking to politics, he'd be a trustworthy representant. His ability to express and explain very complex matters in a couple of smooth sentences, understandable for everyone, projecting *exactly* the picture he's painted in his head, is remarkable. One of this generations outstanding minds!

So, this is not about me. I am so impressed with Trevor Noah’s talk that I am in tears with his ”Politically Correct” talk. Mr. Noah, stay true, stay strong. You don't need a ”following” because

Your voice is valuable. We are all ordinary people here sharing our thoughts. Some we agree with, some we don't. But listening to one another is the best place to start.
I so want children to learn how to care about and appreciate one another from their first steps. You are fortunate to be a teacher who can help them learn that.
Trevor is so articulate and deliberate in what he says. While I love and appreciate #StephenColbert #JimmyKimmel #SethMeyers #JamesCordon, as they genuinely empathize with this movement, Trevor can speak to it from a perspective they cannot... heck, most of cannot ... as an outsider, an insider, and an Apartheid South African.

The woman threatens that she can use a black man threatening her with the police. Trevor, a fake accusation of a woman against any man is still a weapon. No one believes the man. The man is always the criminal. Sexism exists more strongly and is more common. Women are discriminated in some aspects, men are discriminated in other aspects. No one talks about the discrimination of men.

As a 50yo white man, I have been anti-racist my whole adult life -- and vehemently so for the last 20 years or so. I've spent years looking at hard truths and scouring the racism, prejudice, hate (and homophobia) that I grew up with out of my psyche. But I'm not trying to get people to see me as "one of the good ones" or some crap. I do it out of SELFISHNESS! I do it because I REFUSE to live without my soul. I DEMAND it.
So when I become aggressive in my intolerance of racism, it's not because I'm some damn "hero". I'm just not giving up my soul by enabling, tolerating or ignoring your racism. Racism is a disease. Racists themselves may not be my enemy, but they are carriers of a disease that's going to have to go one way or another. So if you're a white American and you think that racism is only a problem for non-whites...
Thank you for standing up for what is right and making your voice loud and clear. As a minority (one side of my family is black), we need folks who look like the oppressors to help the oppressed. 🙏🏾

The only way claims can be made for "white privilege" is by messing subjective definitions of oppression.

The cop took the man's life with a smug look on his face and his hand in his pocket.
I can't get that image out of my mind.
His hand was in his pocket so he could flair out his pant leg enough so you couldn't see how he was slowly grinding his knee up and down on Floyds neck. HE WAS TRYING TO SNAP HIS NECK! LOOK CLOSELY!
He took pleasure in doing it, you could tell how he was looking down on a black man under his mercy, it fed something dark inside him.
How easily and without thought or compassion this "officer" kept his knee on this man's neck for 9 and a half minutes. Count. Set a timer. Have someone say "I can't breathe. Please, please. Then hear them , so close to death they call for their Mother. Try to ignore that. If. you can , well you are the one who should be under that knee
fake news... it only looked like his hand was in his pocket because the glove matched the pants perfectly.
I could listen to him speak all day. Every word Trevor Noah says holds such weight but soothes the ears simultaneously.
This needs to go viral the way Trevor breaks down everything that’s going on it’s incredible very well spoken
Ccp
Phrasing
It is a good history of Black American history of the past 6 or 7 days.
He neglects to speak of the contract since 1619. In other words, we have memories that cover the past 401 years, including the past 168 hours or so. What sort of deal have we (Blacks) gotten since arriving on the North American continent should be factored.
Just sayin'.
By Trevor logic. Riots should continue to happen until new laws are made or until there's good leadership to set an example.
EJ It’s amazing how a singular line can tell me, (1) your race, (2) your morals, and (3) your entitlement.
Trevor, this is very much a “Jon Stewart” moment in terms of you eloquently voicing the frustrations that many of us feel in a way that is measured, intelligent, and comes from a place of true compassionate leadership. Thank you for this.
I guess Jon Stewart saw something in Trevor (insight, greatness) when he handed over his seat...Stay safe! 👋🏾

@@MartinJoyceUFOConspiracy Yes, all cops should be judged by some who are bad. These aren't one-off incidents that nobody could have foreseen, they are persistent, repeated violations of public trust. They allow these crimes against the public to happen daily, but only the outright deaths make the news. They all know the state of things, they all know who these 'bad apples' are, and they don't stop them. They don't get them fired. They don't arrest them. They don't act to make things better. They let things fester for years, for decades. In that way, they are complicit. They deserve to be judged for that.
Watching this again after Trevor has left the show and I am humbled by how he used his platform to speak for the voiceless. 👏🏾👏🏾

As an ex-pat, I'm just now seeing this because so many of the Daily Show videos aren't available in Italy. Trevor, you hit the nail on the head. That last question you posed, I'd love to see it used as a talking point on all our issues.
Seeing Trevor's video was the first time that I've an insight into what racism means. To me, this video is very important. Thanks, Trevor!!
He was just light skinned enough for you to listen to. Really think about it
You don't look that young...
This is sadly nothing new.
Still, better late than never, I guess.
Please share it with your friends
@Grant Le Bon What has nothing to do with racism? Specify what issue you have with his statement
This is a lovely sentiment, and as you said, important. I hope this note gets to Trevor. Change-agents get tired too and your insight would give him light. ⚘
In solidarity, -L💪
The most articulate, insightful, yet clearly heartfelt commentary I've heard on these events, and their connection, anywhere. I'm forwarding this to everyone I know.
Yes. Trevor's commentary is a beautiful synthesis of heart and mind. The clarity of his analogy is practical genius and his words are spoken with a calmly understated passion. He's quite a teacher, our Professor Noah.
jdflood77 right?! I shared it to my fb feed.... just hoping people will understand.
I couldn't have articulated this any better, your comment sums it up perfectly. I will forward this video, too.
The best explanation of race in America that I've ever heard in my 67 years. Thank you, Trevor. Thank you.
I agree. As a white woman, I can’t begin to know how others whose skin color. The closest I get is going somewhere with my adult son. He has a strange haircut. Shave on the sides and a strip of hair on the top. People treat him differently, I get treated differently because I am with him. He isn’t like our “normal” accepted white person we expect.
Joe Bidens Leg Hair This is you’re country too we’re all apart of this problem, me, you, and everybody is trying fight this issue
Trevor is America’s public enemy number one.
67 years??? Wtf man?? Come on shut your mouth. Get off the internet, go live on the woods. You don't belong in the rest of society like the loser antifa members and their mainstream media sympathizers. You are so incredibly wrong.
Can i just say how good of a speaker trever noah is
Literally everything you said is total b*******. But it's easy to pontificate with nobody to respond to your nonsense.
This is off the top too... some very deep stuff. 11:52 is especially notable
You must have never listen to Jordan Peterson, this guy talk like a kindergartener compared to Peterson
hes the next to get the knee
YA HE IS SUCH A GOOD SPEAKER
I Love the fact that he’s not being entertaining.
This is a powerful message
Wake up citizens !!! Can you see what it´s happening her ???Who do you think make this happens?? A police officer looking at a camera in almost 10 minutes and wait for a man to die ?? The man was neutralized , why they didn´t take him in the car?? Did Trevor tell you that these 2 men was working as a security gard together in a bar , the knew each other !!! It´s George Soros (the globalists who are taking all our countries down, not just USA) who arrange this to destroy the credibility of Donald Trump (because actually a lot of black people are starting to realise what he´s doing and are ready to vote for him). Instead to focus on the medias (who ARE a part of these globalists) try to fokuse on what Donald Trump is doing (he took back the FED bank to protect YOU and all countries so the globalists don´t go on to take us down with a false economy, it´s HUGE !!), he´s stopping the pedocriminalite in the whole world (already found 50 000 children since oktober 2019, protect you from the censure on the sociale medier, his economy was much better before the virus , ....If you can see that , what a pity. The medias are so corrupted, all of them.
He's never entertaining.. so nothing new really.
We live in strange times.
We have the same effect here in Germoney.
Martin Sonneborn who is supposed to be an entertainer is one of the few people who talks sense in public politics.
Warm regards and unconditionally solidarity from Germoney
I Loved that yes. However, little do we realize but Trevor is a very analytical chap and his final content emerges from intense critical analyses of the content at hand. I think this comes from the tightroped nature of his background/upbringing: he has the ability to change his lens with ease.
He has got really deep thoughts. He doesn't make a rash decision on how to think about this. He takes his time, sorts his thoughts and only then he makes his statement. Loved how he paused to think at around 12:04. Didn't even notice it on the first watch. Great man!
Solidarity from Germany!
AFRICAN PROVERB: “The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth”

Very profound
Wow. Great proverb. Extremely wise.
Wow powerful!
One of my favorite proverbs...
"Society is a contract... The contract is only as strong as the people abiding by it"
- Trevor Noah
This is basically the crux of all social contract theories including Rousseau's (and his more orthodox predecessor Thomas Hobbes)
Yeah buddy we all watched the video and heard that lmao
If America wants to eradicate racism between black and white, the only way is to never teach your children to be a racist, in a couple hundred years old people will die out along with their racism.
Powerful truth.
@Ktube Irrelevant.
Trevor, thank you. As a middle aged white male, I have been trying to put into words what I have been seeing and what I have been hearing from other white males, and you describe it perfectly. Thank you for your voice, it is what I needed and what I believe as well. I wish our leaders had similar views.
Certainly not easy to give such a sobering perspective on something so volatile and emotionally charged. I have utmost respect for all that has been said in this video.
This has been an excruciating week. Many nuances have been revealed not just by various people but also our administration
Shit, it's been a excruciating 2020 thus far......frfr
Im lucky im not american lol
Like, why protest against people who keeps you healthy at worst with assault rifle loaded.
God give us strength black people are tired, and we have reached the breaking point.
Think trumps paying these people
The contract part just hit me, soo true, on point, a new perspective for me.
Credit to JEAN JACQUES Rousseau.... Le contrat social.
He's African, as in really African.

Facts
Mr. Noah, I don’t know if you read these comments but I would like you to know how much I appreciate you. I struggle as a white woman trying to explain these concepts to people in my life because of my perspective. I empathize but I cannot completely understand because I have not lived those experiences. The way that you turn a phrase, create message, construct language is masterful. You help me better understand, and in turn, I hope I can plant seeds to help others understand as well. Thank you sir.
Here in Africa. We are with you. We stand with you fellow brothers and sisters ✊🏿
Im here in Europe. And feel the same. No justice no piece! And we have the same problem and it has to change!!
You should go burn down your local target then.
Wamlambezzz!! Man it's so sad to see what's going on over there... I mean, we have our own problems to take care of but to see our brothers being killed for the colour of their skin... It's fuckin unacceptable
I am from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 we are with you too and we fight against America 👌
I love you black people ❤️😍😘😘
I also stand with you. And im here in Asia 🖤
The ONLY reason we are talking about this is because someone was able to film it. His death would simply have been deemed a "medical" complication and life would have gone on just fine for the perpetrators.
Yeah, they should look into that too. Which doctor said it was a medical death. The doctor should have known that he died from being suffocated.
Yes the power of technology puts despicableble acts in the spotlight for all to see, when before, these acts where hidden. Yet we do not see changes it sight. There will soon be a tipping point.
OMG imagine that SMFH
@@someguy6135 Yeah what is the clinical diagnosis called when 3 cops kneel on your neck, back and legs while you are already handcuffed? I forget, can you remind me what that is called?

"There is never a right way to protest"-- so true. Dr. MLK: "a riot is the language of the unheard."
Rioting is different from looting. Yeah maybe burning the police station is maybe justified. But burning and looting innocent people's shops who had no hand in this. That is a shame. Trevor did a terrible thing saying that it's it's okay to loot. Really brother? It's okay to loot your house, do unspeakable things to you and your family because 4 bad apples murdered another human..? No. Sad 😒
Of course there is a right way to protest. Read about Mahatma Gandhi.
Wow SF
Not sure the words; it's ok to loot were spoken. Funny how some people get their own version if what is said.
It’s also the language of the tired and those who are always hearing that they are wrong. There is only so much injustice someone can see before rational no longer means anything.
I can think of one that people just don't use enough... don't spend any money at establishments that are owned by people you disagree with. And let them know it loud and clear.
Standing Ovations to you Trevor!
Best Explanation ever!
One of the most powerful and honest Speeches I heard my whole Life.
The World needs more People like you Trevor.
Thank you from the bottom of my Heart.
This was one of the best speeches I have heard regarding this topic. Thank you Noah for your thoughtfulness and insight.
Try Beau of the fifth column his videos last night and today on this. Don't be put off by the way he looks, just watch the whole thing. You might be surprised.
@@sherylhoward4831 Why would I be put off by how he looks?
I was thinking the same things but Trevor has articulated the issues perfectly. Without a script. Comfortable with silence when he needs to think how best to frame his words. If only our leaders knew how to carefully, calmly, forensically deconstruct the problem, present it and deliver solutions that everyone can agree to try.
Or rather, he did a great job of making you think he didn't prepare for this video. Which is credit to him, still.
Starting as a comedian from my home country, South Africa to this. Proud doesn't cover it.
@@t0paz568 .....don't be so disingenuous, did you even listen to what he was saying....his analysis is trying to provide an explanation and rationale (not a justification) for why this is happening....at no point did he condone the violence....without understanding why this is happening and acknowledging that it is wrong, can you begin to remedy and correct the situation i.e. that in America, society has broken the implicitly agreed social contract.....it was a brilliant presentation, the point of which you have totally failed to comprehend
We are so blessed to have him in the US. He is top 5 fave humans.
@@bluesteel5688 looting is not good just looky here ua-cam.com/video/8e1ld1uGpXA/v-deo.html usally i like him but take from this link. his argument is stupid.
He IS someone to be truly our of. He has such an incisive mind and ease of expression. We need his voice in th US right now.
brendan you have not really listened you heard what you wanted! Right now some states with peaceful protests have used the police force to oppress people protesting against police violence.
Throughout history we can't speak is what he said, always being told this way is wrong, that way is wrong. This WE is now royal because even though the focus is Black lives matter people of all ethnicities are united in this cause.
What he is saying is instead of Trump threatening citizens on twitter, had the president taken accountability and enforced accountability on police chiefs and governors then rioting probably wouldn't have started in the first place. By refusing to protect citizens of colour we have effectively been excluded from social constructs but it's a shock if we act outside of the social constructs.
Lest we forget that white people taught us how to riot!
It's 6 months later and this still gets me every time I watch it. This is beautiful and so raw and unscripted.
Same, I feel like this is still a current issue that hasn’t been fully resolved. Example, the Capitol Riots, an extreme source of racism.

Powerful and moving words. Stated in a simple and eloquent way that people not of that culture get it. This man is one powerful speaker.
The story is so out there because of a camera.Keep it up with those cameras
i'M NOT SO SURE WHY PPL ARE SO IMPRESSED WITH WORDS....WORDS ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ACTION....ITS JUST GOOD THAT THE PROTEST IS ALMOST WORLD WIDE.THAT SHOWS PEOPLE ARE PAST FED UP!!.....WORDS ARE NOTHING TO POLICE,POLITICIANS,ETC.ACTION IS WHAT IT TAKES!
Só calm and comfortable taking someone's breathe away, literally.
That's Privilege.
Genevieve Baldwin true, a demonically inspired privilege.
And more times than not getting away with it or a slap on the wrist.. Getting Fired don't mean shit, they will just get hired at another precinct. You know how it works. A dead Black guy and white Cops who move on & never Accountable.

Great analysis summary. It happens daily and call for help are ignored.
@@justsaying3729 sounds like the sex scandals of the Catholic church. I've yet to see a POC .among that list of predators as well.
WOW - Trevor that was the most brilliant expiation I've ever heard , You built your argument brick by brick into a magnificent monument - THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Better than well said.
For the past 3 months I have rewatched this clip again and again for comfort. Trevor can always articulates what I can’t. His explanation of the the stakes we have in the social contract and how different they are based on race... idk it makes me feel less alone in all this. I have nothing but gratitude for him
He is insane.
One of the worst videos ever produced.
"When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties." - Marquis de Lafayette
"Two plus two is four, minus one that's three quick maths" - Big Shaq
Er... the government isn't violating anyeones rights, The goverments and Trump even said what happened was wrong. But LOOTING AND VOILENCE ARE NOT A DAMN RIGHT. Citizens have a right to be protected FROM LOOTING AND VIOLENCE.
I could have sat in that moment of silence for hours. There’s something so powerful about the way Trevor bares the truth to us, and every word had the weight of a bag of sand. Society is a contract, police are looting black bodies.
When you have your hand in your pocket, while simultaneously your knee on the neck of a man killing him... that is killing while casual. That “officer” is a sociopath. He calmly killed George Floyd.
Rest with the Angels brother 😔
The officer must be devoid of any humanity. How you knee on a persons neck for minutes, listen to their pleas and just wait ... that is beyond me. And how his colleagues just wait with him. Nobody should have to die like this.
It sucks when we can’t even step in when he’s about to die in public.
Evil is often banal.
Exactly what I thought when i saw the video, I literally gasped he was being extremely casual about it I really cant believe it
Ryen Boi- I would’ve.
So much insight, wit, social intelligence, so well spoken...top notch as always. You’re the total human package, Trevor Noah!!
This put into words much of what I've been feeling but have been unable to vocalize. Beautifully said. 😢
Because its not Target's fault? I agree with you overall, but protesters are burning cars of innocent people in my neighborhood. How are you going to protest innocent death by attacking other innocent people or their property. To me, that is just not logical and is ultimately unproductive because those people who you looted are not going to make cops stop hurting people.
@@calsaver Watch the video and pay attention this time.
@@SourDoughBill Understand my reply next time! :)
@@calsaver next time😢
Same here. Well said Trevor.
I’m from Luton, England, just outside of London. My family is Guyanese but I was born here. I’ve experienced racism and the overwhelming fear that it entails. That video has burnt a indelible mark in my mind. Much like Rodney King (RIP 👑). I wake up and fall asleep with the image of that pig kneeling on George Floyd’s neck. “I can’t breathe” with stay with me forever. We saw the light fade from his eyes. I’m truly saddened by the state of humanity, especially America. It’s the year 2020, not the 1950’s! Rest easy George, I pray you get justice. 🙏🏽
This captures my nightmare exactly! If this can happen to an African-American, what hope is there for an 'African-Africa' in America specifically but also all over the world!!!? A very sad day for those of us who are deceived by the message that the developed world is civilise!
@@hassanabu2750 fortunately for Native born Africans in America, the Racism in America has a special disdain just for African-Americans. I would think Africans probably have a better experience in America than African-American. I think it probably has something to do with having a foreign accent, people with accents can have a good experience if they know how to leverage it. But of course anything can happen, there are no rules to it.
From London, went to uni in Luton. They are kinda wild out there!
@@thetayterminator1436 A lot of Africans in America don't have an accent so are treated like every other black person. Foreigners sadly can be treated better than black Americans but still like trash.
The relationship between Africans and African Americans is honestly the saddest because there's bullying of Africans (African booty scratcher) because black Americans have been taught to look down on Africans like everyone else in the world.
Africans have been taught to look down and badly treat black Americans because of the racist marketing campaign America has created through the media and films of African Americans!
Dont just pray for justice... demand justice.
What's hurting more is the fact that he was saying he can't breath and cop was still flexing on his neck
And his rocking back/forth with his hands in his pocket applied even more pressure. His entire weight was balanced on Mr Floyd's neck. What a bastard!
They didn't care. Period. That's murder.
I'm a George Floyd that didn't die. I had a boot put on my head by a cop that got aggressive with mw in the parking lot of the Home Depot I used to work at 11 years ago.. They said I was loitering. I thought I was safe because I'm a bit lightskinned and pretty and educated and I sold appliances and countertops. But that opened my eyes personally.. I have had white folk threaten to call police on me for doing something they wouldn't bat an eye at a blonde haired girl or guy doing or saying. It's sickening. My first reaction was upset about the looting but that was my whiteness speaking, I'm really glad folks like you are speaking about this for those of us aware of our bias and willing to listen. Definitely feeling more sympathetic toward the looters now. Overall, most of the protests have been peaceful and a lot of people are still wearing their covod masks. If anything should reopen first I'm glad it has been activism for social justice and anti-racism ❤
Imagine "feeling more sympathetic" toward the people who are burning down black owned businesses and communities...you, as well as they, are part of the problem
It is sickening. Thank you for sharing your story. We need these conversations. Society as we know it can never be the same.
Kazuma Blackwing I agree. People see something has happened and take it way too far, the majority of people in these protests are peaceful, but then there’s those who just burn stuff. If they wanted to actually do it properly they wouldn’t have done anything more than a peaceful protest. That’s how Martin Luther King did it and it worked very well
@@toastiboi7618 Meanwhile police slaughter people in open daylight. Most only get a slap on the wrist and the few that get sued only get fired. Murder should be something you go to jail for not just fired. I do not support looting and rioting, but not because of the oh so valuable TV, rather because people that protest whether it is peaceful or not are in danger of getting murdered by the police. I don't know about the place where you live, but where I live theft and vandalism is not to be punished by immediate execution on open streets by police, without trial.
welp,we cant get them all
This was the most well articulated response to all of this.
Amen. Trevor is so thoughtful, insightful, and well-spoken.
I'm not form US and I like this guy's show. And it sadenes me to see what he is talking about right now. He argues that it is justified that people looted local, family run stores as well as big stores. He doesn't condemn ruining somebodies life's businesses. As a person coming from a country destroied in WW2 it sadenes me to here it is OK to ruin sombodies life spendings&efforts as a protest of others wrongdoing
You should check out rapper Killer Mike's response to this as well, found it to be well done as well.

@@marmil8948 Non-US here and I agree with you. The violence diminishes the legitimacy of the protest. Yet I'm unable to dismiss the fact that there seems to be no other way. Do you think the current administration would be pressured into changing something for the better by even numerous peaceful protestors? We are talking about a leadership that clearly does not comprehend democracy. Not to mention this kind of change towards equality is beyond the capabilities of the state, by virtue of its cultural nature. One thing is for sure, the US is walking on thinner and thinner ice, while the rest of the democratic world is watching in horror.
Trevor: You have brilliantly stated and expressed so many heartfelt truths. Painful truths. Your Contract analogy speaks volumes, and I appreciate your intellectual and extremely thoughtful manner in sharing from the heart.
So well spoken.
"The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion." ~ Frederick Douglass

Dear Trevor Noah, you brighten my mind, my heart. I am a Canadian from Montreal, who once fell in love with a young black Canadian (orig from Dominican Republic). He deepened my empathy for people of color, and still does . We need this now, more than we have in my lifetime...Profoundly. I am heavy-hearted yet hopeful , since George Floyd’s effect on the world...Especially as a white person, now relocated to Houston TX . You help me.

Just so you know the supposed blacks were in America before the supposed trans Atlantic slave trade. They just as much natives of America as anyone. I say this respectfully. Peace and blessings.
Many of those people that are being called black are native americans, we were here long before the European arrived, our plight is one, straight haired and curly haired natives need to come together
Thank you Lillian. ❤😍
"The fact that he was so calm doing it" this gives me chills. Wow. I can't even wrap at how any human being could do this to another human being...especially in public. The white cop did not even blink an eye. What also pissed me off was that they didn't even resuscitate him, that's how Fucking heartless and inhumane those cops were and I KNOW they were trained to do so. We need justice.
KLS- 95 the fact that he didn't even lift his leg when the paramedics arrived proves motive and callousness. He wasn't eliminating a threat he was making sure he was done murdering him.
it was staged footage
KLS: people who are completely calm when they commit horrible acts of violence are generally sociopaths. He didn't do it because he lost control of his feelings. He did it while completely in control of his feelings.
The fatal flaw in our justice system is omni-present. Professionals, GOVT officials, those in positions of power, need to be under the harshest of penalties in our land in terms of failure. Not the opposite. If you let it go as we have, you have the protected class who are most capable of doing the most harm. That is no different than a monarchy, not at all the basis of democracy.
I'm not 100% sure this is fact, I heard the officer who obviously believed he is above the law, actually worked with Floyd in a bar as bouncers..... what a twisted piece of the puzzle
I grow to admire and love Trevor Noah daily. This video legitimizes why he's the kind of person we need in this day and age. Thanks for stating what many of us are feeling in such an incredibly clear and balanced way.
Dr Sweetie Summons, We are on same page,quite agree with you.
Trevor is one comedian i have so much respect for, his take and analysis on this Floyd drama, has really blown me away.
Saying things that are in most peoples mind.
By the way i am black!
And I am a huge fan of Paul Watson. But I also like this dude.
😂
That moment all you idiots realise this guy had multiple burglary charges, multiple cocain charges, and at one point held a gun to a pregnant womans stomach as he searched het house for money and drugs. He just moved to minnesota from texas where he was recently released from prison.
He also did not suffocate. Both the official autopsy AND the private doctor hired by his family found the death to be from pre-existing conditions contributed to by being arrested for using a fake 20$ bill, driving drunk, and resisting arrest.😂
You cant script this kind of comedy
@@whyigotbanned2913 you don't get it. That's not the point. No one should ever have to died like that no matter what they did. Especially in a Democratic Society that we claim to be. The police exist to UPHOLD the law, not take it into their own hands. Regardless of his past, that doesn't change the fact that a black man was murdered by a police officer. Just like the COUNTLESS other black men who were victims of police brutality. There is no amount of pathetic excuses that can justify or change these facts.
@@merona1546 nothing of value was lost. a criminal died. thats alright by me.
“...legitimacy is based on three things. First of all, the people who are asked to obey authority have to feel like they have a voice--that if they speak up, they will be heard. Second, the law has to be predictable. There has to be a reasonable expectation that the rules tomorrow are going to be roughly the same as the rules today. And third, the authority has to be fair. It can't treat one group differently from another.”
In a way, Trevor getting the gig for the Daily Show was kind of a disservice. His ability to deliver heartfelt and sincere insights is so much greater than what he can churn out for the highest level of pop news media on a daily basis. When he does these scrappier essays and harder interviews from his housing and outside the production studio, it's just so much more relatable.
Well said! Ditto!
I think with his role (that you think of a disservice) is actually a good thing, because he gained a lot more traction and had a bigger voice but I do agree that this format is more relatable without any laugh tracks.
They should give him his own show and bring john Stuart back
@@praneeta8777 You mean without a studio audience? I agree with your comment but laugh tracks makes it sound like a crappy sitcom instead of live people laughing and reacting. FWIW I've been in the audience twice now, it was a great time. No "Between the Scenes" while I was there, alas, but you do see him getting all prepped face- and reaction-wise for the next thing he'll say while the news clips etc. are playing-- pretty amusing! :)
In fairness, there’s a strong chance that we wouldn’t be watching this video if he wasn’t given the Daily Show. What’s great is he’s using his stage differently than others do.
Trevor is wonderful at explaining himself and others feelings in a way we can relate to and understand and it’s refreshing.
By Trevor logic. Riots should continue to happen until new laws are made or until there's good leadership to set an example.
Hed be a great elementary school teacher i feel like he could explain complex stuff in a way little 8-9 year olds could easily understand and comprehend
@@holyarmageddon19 I didn't hear him set those expectations at all. What I heard was if society always do what it always done, then it always get what it has always gotten.
