I'll never forget him saying I cant breath SIR.while dying he tried to be human to someone unwilling to do the same for him.
That is burned into everyone who saw that. There are protests in Italy also. I watched it 3x and I can't take it again. I am ashamed of that.
😢😢😢😢😢
i am from Pakistan and all of us also saw that video. and i don't think i will be able to forget this clip ever. Say his Name #georgefloyd
Well said! And let’s not forget that “gods” like it and don’t help
I started crying when he called for his mom. 😭😭😭
"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" - African proverb
Dude I don't know how you came with this but the depth of this proverb is unbelievably powerful. MIC DROP
Powerful quote
💯💯💯💯
@@Avembe it's an African proverb from a time when Africans where truly African
Wow! That’s deep🧐
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!
🙏🏾 love from America
See how nobody cares. It's bc your picture is of a white man
Анатолий Баляев ,
Take care of yourself.
Cheers
@@jackmihof4962 wtf are you talking about?
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.
Trevor nails it again, in a soft voice his words are louder than hate. Peace love and Unity from Cornwall, uk.
It's not hateful to burn down and loot?
Can i leave the US and come live on your couch? :(
If the target was missinformation, fommetion of unnecessary rebellion and shitty propaganda, then yes, he totally nailed it🤣
This is the reason Colin Kaepernick took a knee but people thought he was disrespecting the flag but this is the true reason he took that knee
sad but true.
This, They don't want to believe
👍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..
I don't live in the US and was so painful to watch that "cop" killing that man, I'm with all protesters out there.
Ja me too. Same.
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
Ah yes all the protesters burning and stealing innocent people’s businesses
marquise antonio just you don’t need to burn down Minneapolis the target was enough to get your point across. Now you’re just abusing the situation.

So it comes to pass that in the highest position there is the least freedom of action...for what in others is called wrath, this in a ruler is termed insolence and cruelty." -Julius Caesar
@@bsarioz That's what happens when the "symptoms" are people stealing, burning, and killing.
@Aaron De Anda Fake news lol
This speech will be part of history. Forever. Trevor, never stop using your voice. Very few are given this chance. Very few people like you. Forza.
I'm sorry. It's too late
I know it can come off as racist to say that a black person is "articulate" or such -- but that was fking eloquent!
YA TREVOR NOAH IS SO BRAVE
It was an awesome insight. Such wisdom and truth spoken.
You are whacked. Only idiots GAF about this hack
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.
If someone had gone over and pushed the officer off, that person would be in jail for obstructing an investigation and assaulting an officer.
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.
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..
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
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
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
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.
I am wondering about his state b.c no word from him yet.
@@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
You are an amazing person. Thank you
@@rhymeswithorange5137 uhhhhh...OK your welcome. i think that is about the weirdest reply i have ever gotten.
My business class uses this video for learning. That’s how powerful this video is
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!
“ A riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?” -Martin Luther King
Pls watch the next 15 seconds of that video.
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?
@@drex5160 doesn't make the initial part any less try
@@Technoshirt exactly
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
My father was murdered by police in California back in the 80s. That incident stays with me and has impacted my entire life. Still no justice.
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.
😢
GOD Bless You SkittleNutz77
With peace and Healing
You and Your Dad Rest in Power
Will Receive absolute Justice From GOD Almighty Extremely Soon 💯🙏🏼
May his soul Rest In Peace
I am sorry about what happen to your father and family bro
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.
God bless you Shawn.. This is great.. Keep up. It's gonna take all of us to do something
you just made me start snot crying over this wonderful news. ty and ty trevor.
God bless Patricia. She raised one of the greatest humanitarians/public speakers/thinkers of our generation.
Is he going to invite the looters into his gated community, or he is only in favor of that when working class people have their livelihoods destroyed
@@Gogetta80 why is that the only option if you care about what is going on with our Black fellow Americans and the police.
Now imagine how many George Floyds there are that are _not_ caught on camera.
I have the same thinking. There are thousands which were not captured on camera.
@@bluebotlivingston6016 Bro maybe?, but the view you get in those 2 different instances is quite shocking the ratio,threat,and the way you just look at someone and all this things, just all over the years,I don't see your question standing?🤔
We have seen what Derek Chauvin was brave enough to do while he is aware he is being recorded, hands in pockets with a smirk on his face. Now imagine what he will do when there are no cameras!
@@bluebotlivingston6016 It is a hollow argument that "Police are killing white people, too, so why are only black people's deaths an issue?" That argument shows that white men are unwilling to join forces with the black protesters against all of the police and government officials who are killing thousands of us each year.
If you're so upset about all of those white deaths at the hands of law enforcement then why do you ignore the anger and frustration of others who are oppressed by their government the same as you?

Mr. Noah, 59 year old black man born in Virginia herr, very well said. Be safe young man and keep speaking from your heart!
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
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. 🙏🏾
Well said.👏🏼Not to be a pessimist, but unfortunately your philosophy is not contagious. If only...🙏🏼💞
Dude you are not racist bcs ur white u dont have ehite priviledge bcs ur white. If u did nothing wrong dont apologize and cave to the mob.

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.
I could listen to him speak all day. Every word Trevor Noah says holds such weight but soothes the ears simultaneously.
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 🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿
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?
sam newcome murder plain and simple
And there’s so many instances that never got filmed and will never be known about. Disgusting.
Sadly we probably only know about the tip of the iceberg at best.
YES MY DARLING.
YES MY DARLING
Yup, instead we get the nice racist version that the US loves to portray
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
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.

articulate enough to not mention meth or fentanyl and pressing a gun against a pregnant abdomen

@@leas.5596 This is an older article, but it helps explain the problem with using that word about black people. Please read it and give it some thought. www.nytimes.com/2007/02/04/weekinreview/04clemetson.html
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
If only the people in power would have the brains like you have, so thoughtful and very well worded. My respect Trevor.

No. He's Gaslighting
He's advocating for the destruction of businesses and livelihoods.
The guys a complete idiot and won't have to live with the fallout of those riots.
He needs a lawsuit, and the daily show needs to be sued too. ua-cam.com/video/igaNHN9UDWY/v-deo.html
@Dogheadpunch dude I love Fitzgerald. He is awesome.
Also him playing Anna in the beginning of the video will always no matter what will make me laugh
Thank-you, Trevor for a brilliantly considered message. I am a fan, and I am a white guy; 60 something. I remember the civil rights movement, I remember the riots ...almost everywhere at one time or another; Chicago, 1969 comes to mind. I remember the murder of Martin Luther King. At he age of 13, I was already wondering; what is going on here?
One of my "jobs" is to deliver worship services to small, white, dying Protestant congregations in upstate, rurul New York. These Christian Congregations have been at it all of their lives, and they get it, but are shielded from the real clash. In my most recent message I talked about connecting the dots; the dominoes. And, then, to hear you talk about it brought tears to my eyes. You, and many of the other night show hosts, are our modern philosophers; keep doing what you do.
I’ve never seen this issue being addressed in such an articulated manner. Respect!
Could you give me some links so I can take a look?
@K. Smith Yes, for many, many years.
This is why I love Trevor Noah. He is bright, articulate and not to mention handsome as a motherf* ❤🌹👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He is one eloquent boi
You should listen to more black people then.
AFRICAN PROVERB: “The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth”
And there's still absolutely no justification to destroy other lives. Don't even.... ☝🏽

Wow. Great proverb. Extremely wise.
Wow powerful!
One of my favorite proverbs...
"That was a hell of a punishment. Her job is one thing, but taking a white lady's dog..." Hilarious because it's so true.
She got the dog back last week. :(
Sally al Saleh seriously?!? 🙄🤦🏾♀️
I mean, I'd rather go to jail than lose my dog. But I'd also not call the police on someone for being Black, so I don't think I'd have to choose.
“...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.”
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.
What broke me was when he called out for his mother. She's been dead for over a year. He felt her with him in his last moments.
I also felt bad but he saw his momma pulling him out of that pain
@@olivierobe8682 2 years. It was close to her death anniversary
That was the moment I started crying.
she was with him. he died on that sidewalk
Yea that is the saddest shit....😥😥😥
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.
Trevor Noah we are so blessed to have your perspective at this time. You are deep, real, and centered as they come.
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.
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.
Sitting here, listening to you is both comforting and refreshing... Thank you.
Who else has been waiting for Trevor to talk about this?
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.
comedians are intelligent! Plus this guy is handsome. Handsome men are genetically more intelligent.
It is sad. I have news channels to watch, but I cannot get The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. I have to find him on UA-cam. Mr. Noah is brilliant!
Absolutely agree 💯!!!!
@@eduardochavacano attractive=/=intelligent, they're just perceived that way
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...
As a Minneapolis resident I can't tell you how many times I thought "I hope Trevor covers this soon", thank you.

Bravo!!!! You are so eloquent in the conversation that you have started here. I hope and pray that more people will see this and continue the conversation. The fact that this was coming from your heart and your head and was not scripted shows that this was SO GENUINE!! Thank you @trevornoah
I’ve never had it explained this way. I’ve always thought I understood what racism felt like - understanding as much as was possible as an average white lady. I’m the one to speak up when seeing/hearing racism. But Today I am humbled. The point Trevor made - think about WHO oppresses you and how that makes you feel- was a HUGE ah-ha for me. I get it now. The undercurrent of anger. The constantly being told and SHOWN you are lesser than when you are not. Wow. Thank you Trevor; this is going to change my life and that of those close to me. 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻
@ Rhonda I respect your candor. At least you are trying to understand. This is a step in the right direction. With enough people taking this mindset, perhaps we can start to see meaningful change that can truly be considered positive for all except the mighty few that have perpetuated this situation.

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!

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.
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.
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

@Joe Briggs well, his skin color doesn't prevent him from knowing stuff, does it?
"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.
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.

"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.
@Bobby Digital It is about bad cops AND systemic racism!!!!!
The rage in Trevor's calmness is deafening.
I wonder if any one paid attention to how many times the officer resets himself when he believed he lost his leverage. BLOODY MURDER
yes, exactly!
Yes it is
and the Sadness that the so called upholder of this "societal contract" are abusing their position without fear
*Yes, it truly is!*
So true Trevor, so true. Perfectly articulated given the subject.
I love this video. Trevor is so eloquent and invested in everything he does. I 100% agree. I will admit, my mom, who lives outside of the states, was deeply scared for me due to the looting and riots, but I tried my best to help her understand the level of frustration that led to that. I'm predisposed for COVID19 due to health issues so I can't participate in protest but I've been trying to help from home, one of the things I'm doing is translate as many sources of information as possible to help educate my people in the events and how to help. I'd love to translate this video as well but it's not open for contribution, I may have to make a transcript instead.
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. 💖✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿💖
Thank you.. for caring
Thank you ❤️, and we with you.
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. ❤😍
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.
And children need your truth and trust..
Be not afraid Sister..❤🖤💚💯
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, this is so right on. Thank you for this post. Love your work, love your book.
Great job Trevor in contextualizing a rather complex racially charged issue. You were spot on🎯
Trevor is always spot on, the way he is able to express his thoughts and emotions is a dream. I wish I was this eloquent.

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.
When a man is denied to live the life he believes in.....He has no choice but to become an outlaw......Nelson Mandela

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?

Something the ANC in SA have lost sight of.
@@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.
Absolutely correct! I am so happy you explain it the way you did. Now maybe ppl will get it. Thank you!🙏🏾
I have to share. My twin brother, friend and I were just playing. My friend, who was black, picked a flower. And all of a sudden we're all getting charged with destroying property..... we were 7... and he picked a flower.
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!!
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.
So much insight, wit, social intelligence, so well spoken...top notch as always. You’re the total human package, Trevor Noah!!
I've listened to this so many times, & it eloquently express my thoughts. Well done Trevor 👍🏾👍🏾
oral Diarrhea
It must be shared ! Trevor has explained what my feelings has been for a long time. I made it to reach the age of 71, yes we protested, we sit- out because we did like what was happening in the 60's, in the 70's. But we were peaceful no violence. Trevor has awaken many memories for me. Thank you Trevor you are truly one of God's 👼! A prophet of truth!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant. Soooooooooo right. I love how calmly and eloquently he expresses his views. TONS of food for thought.
He's single. Lol
Isn't he just lovely.
Agreed. Thank you, Trevor.
@Moe Snert he's his own man and he has risen to the occassion
Well put Michelle Marie Campbell. Exactly what i wanted to say.
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
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 was excellent, so poignant and eye-opening. I loved the way he tackled this issue and he said many things I've never thought of before
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 👌

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! 👋🏾
True except the part about comedy being dead
oh yes, I agree with you. Well put young lad.
This was a Trevor Noah moment; his eloquence and intelligence belong to him.
This is very much a Trevor Noah moment....
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.
Thanks, Trevor, you are such a beautiful blessing for us all!
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.

Thank you Trevor Noah for helping me understand what is happening.
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.
I admire Trevor for his intellect. He is able to explain everything that is happening in a very simple way...more people should see this.
Right??? What an intelligent young man.
@@MrLandile He's an embarrassment spreading a false narrative...lies and unjust racial division.
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.
I kept seeing this a frozen picture of your face in this video ALL over social media and I kept passing it by. I was like "idk him and not interested in listening". I have not one d@mn clue as to the why, but I watched this video for the first time and it is probably one of the most profound, thought provoking, and ... well frankly perfect videos depicting our time that I have ever seen in my life. This is a deep and very correct video!
Beautifully said. Thank you, Trevor.
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.
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
Everyone needs to see this video. Thank you, Trevor!
Love you and love your insight to our struggles. Please keep at it and be our messenger to the irrationals. Peace!!

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!!!
Who do I call when the murderer wears a badge
