No, Ben Carson, Slaves Weren't "Immigrants": The Daily Show 

"To have a future together doesn't require us to pretend that our pasts are the same." -Trevor Noah (The Daily Show) This is by far one of the best quotes I have ever heard in my life.

And Harriet Tubman ran successful travel agency

It's actually kind of nice that Trevor Noah called out Dr. Carson without being totally unfair and hostile.

Why does Ben Carson always sound like he just hit the blunt

Yeah, Jaycee Dugard wasn't "kidnapped" she was "involuntarily invited;" the Charleston churchmembers were not "murdered" by Dylan Roof - he just "assisted in their involuntary suicides."

Is it me or Noah keeps getting better?

Thank you Trevor Noah for not biasing. As much as I respect Obama, his speech-writer and himself kinda fucked up....

And and hes black yet so uneducated over his own history. That's just sad on so many levels!

everyone is entitled to be stupid every now and then. but trump voters abused that privilege last November. sigh

Siri----" Oh hell no!" 😂

He just said " immigrants at the bottom of slave ships" 🤨😢

I loved the siri 'Oh HELL no'

If Ben Carson was in 1950s Mississippi, he'd be telling the other blacks that the back of the bus isn't so bad.

The sad thing is, if Carson had never been involved in politics, he would have been beloved by the nation. If he'd quit after dropping out of the presidential nomination, his career in politics would have been a long-ignored footnote to an otherwise stellar career saving lives. Now, he (along with most of Trump's staff) looks set to become a weekly punchline. I'm glad that Noah at least acknowledged that Carson's poor choice of words wasn't indicative of him being a complete idiot (like Trump) or a bigoted manoeuvrer (like Bannon), it just showed how ill-equipped for office he is.

"To have a future together doesn't require us to pretend that our pasts are the same" - That is one beautiful quote right there.

No he was a great brain surgeon. He just should have kept his day job.

Ben Carson ate an edible before this speech. 😂

Perfect example of the average black republican.

*"Normally, a Ben Carson speech is a bedtime story in a suit."* Gosh, I didn't even know Ben Carson (I'm not American or super into US politics), but that is not an understatement wow.

"To have a future together doesnt require us to pretend our past were the same" Damn trevor awesome senior quote/pick up line there.

Ok....first Dr. Carson lost his lugguage...NOW he loses his damn mind!

This show is the best

I don't think the problem with Carson's speech was just the word "immigrants" that everybody keeps showing him say, but the bit that came afterwards where he made it sound like slaves came to America to provide a better life for their families.

*Pulls out dictionary* "Siri, is a space an immigrant?"

...so where have all the Trump supporters gone? Could have sworn there were more of them around just a few weeks ago...

did he ever find his luggage?

I'm very impressed that they showed the Obama clip. Makes me know I'm seeing both sides of the story.

You can tell its a very touchy topic for him, he spoke so passionately about it.

Thank goodness for youtube as we don't get the privilege of seeing this show. Love ya Trevor Noah

we should take ben carson and force him to work on the opposite side of the planet where no one speaks english or practices christianity, force him to do 16-20 hours a day of manual labor, force him to learn the regions religion whether he wants to or not along with their language, and any time he even remotely acts out or slacks off he gets the shit kicked out of him, and he gets barely enough food to live on and a tiny shack to call home, and its no problem, why? because clearly he's there willingly and he's getting fed and housed for free and he loves it, if he says he doesn't? well then he doesn't know what he's talking about

Weren’t paid - OWNED, BRED, TORTURED, TERRORIZED...🤬

Trevor...a better title would have been: Doctor Deranged

love your show trevor !!

I have a genuine question... Why is ANY random Joe allowed to run for high office, or be appointed to one? I mean, every other major profession demands qualifications and experience. New rule! you have to serve as a politician for at least 10 years before you can be put in CHARGE of some major shit ! Enough with the mumbling, inexperienced fools!!!!

Damn. *"To have a future together doesn't require us to pretend that our pasts are the same"* Trevor's speechwriter didn't f* up ey

Thank you Trevor. This is an absolutely fantastic piece.

"What, I'm leaving!" "Oooh...sorry." "I'm calling a lawyer!" "Yeah, no, sorry." "Priest? Police? Appeal to basic humanity?" "I don't think you're getting how this works."

And the Amistad case was about customer service on a cruise ship. #AlternativeFactsAreLies

I wasn't a fan at first but Trevor is getting better and better! he has found his stride!

The twerking analogy was super 😂😂👌👌

"There were other immigrants, who came here at the bottom of slave ships..." Wow, that's a really harsh way to speak about european tourists...

I know he has a medical degree, but I do wonder if he studied any history at all? I can't believe this grown man said this.

I thought brain surgeons were supposed to be smart...

"Eddie Murphy was came to America. Kunta Kinte was brought. Big difference, people, big difference."

Anyone else feel like Trevor just watched every single American movie ever before taking this job?

Thank you, Trevor! NO damn comparison at all.

Harriet Tubman would have shot Ben Carson, Reloaded And Shot Him Again

As an English student, this reminds me of the dynamic differences in these words: die, killed, suicide, slaughter, manslaughter, execute, massacre and murder. They all seem to be talking about lifelessness or the act of taking life, but you don't use them in the same context. For example someone who is killed by an armed robber can't be said to have committed suicide. For the record, slaves aren't immigrants!

I just watched "get out" and we should really check for scares on his head.

a person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence. - immigrant

4:10 - "To have a future together doesn't require us to pretend our pasts are the same" - Brilliantly put and applicable on so many levels

I'm going just say this to anybody trying to "explain" how my ancestors got here and what they were or were not called back then and now. I've been black 65 years in this country and racism is still here and we are still thpught of as "non human" and that we should go back to where we come from. So funny! I'm from East Texas! Now as to folk talking about indentured servants, ok, well if they were believe me any land etc. That they thought they owned got taken/stolen back, plenty of history on this happening. Any black/ african taken from theur country and brought to America against their will.... Were Slaves! Period! None of them were FREE citizens. There is no debate on it, I grew up in the era with the signs that said " whites only bathroom" and " colored bathroom" white water fountain" colored water fountain" and going to the back of a building to get food cause black folk could not enter the front door of an establishment! Oh and white only laundromats! I just can't listen to folk who havent lived our lives call themselves educating a black person on being black in America!! Our Ancestors were " Slaves"! They did not decide to just flee their country to sail over here to be " Slaves"! Are you kidding me? Can you not get that? Oh and we are still experiencing the effects of slavery its just done in more subtle way now. For Ben Carson to say we were immigrants... No to the hell we were not. If you read it all, I appreciate that. Ms. Johnson

According to my college textbook, immigration is, by definition, voluntary.

Noooooooo. Speech writer did f-up. Yes Trevor! Preach.

You are great Trevor. You told our history in a classy and funny way. That was nice.

I love how Trevor Noah give a new light on recent news. We are able to understand events better.

Obama's speech directly said that slavery was involuntary

I love how everyone laughed when he said "I love Ben Carson"

Trevor:Siri Is slave an Emigrant Siri: Oh Hell no!!

"Bedtime story in a suit." Lol! 🤣 I'm dead!

"UNCLE BEN" SHOWS HIS TRUE SIDE... GLAD WE NEVER VOTED FOR HIM.

Well said, Trevor Noah! It's simply not the same...never will be

How did he graduate from medical school???

Ben Carson is on something , I swear.

I used to have huge respect for Carson but if he can tell the difference between a slave and an immigrant then I wonder what he knows about housing and development 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I can't believe he is the same Dr Carson who inspired me to become a neurosurgeon. He is with Trump? Ohh God

"Aw, _HELL_ NAW!" -Siri, 2k17

I think Trevor has got to be the funniest guys on The Daily Show and I love him, like a grandmother

If we don't understand our history we are destined to repeat it!

Ben Carson should know the most about slaves. I mean, he is trumps salve sooo......

Nobody: Ben Carson: It's not kidnapping, it's forced immigration

Well said, Mr. Noah: "To have a future together doesn't require us to pretend that our pasts are the same." Keep us looking with clear eyes at history and at the present in order to make a decent future.

Africans were here before the United States was a country

the doference with Obama is that he said " They had not come here voluntarily"", those few words make a big diference

his delivery, timing, and intellect is spot on

you really do handle the news with graceful humor.

American healthcare system sucks...🤔 This guy's a brain surgeon hmmn 😕..

Love Trevor ; he's always so real👏❣👏

I would really want to see Trevor vs Ben Sapiro

Trevor Noah is the funniest and most informative presenter on current news. Please keep it up....

This guy is a national treasure 😂

I am so done....

There's a difference when Obama put the emphasis on the *slavery* part before mentioning immigrants and Carson casually referring them as immigrants.

Criticising Obama on a Left leaning outlet would be impossible today.

Force immigration doesn't coincide with optional immigration. Wrong words Carson

Dr. Strange totally suits the guy!

Truth.!!!!! I Absolutely love Trevor

The first black people brought to Virginia were baptized and thus by the law of the time were free. It was later that their status was changed to slaves.

He's probably suffering sugar overdose from those Oreos? (PS written in 2019)

Slaves were not considered property or livestock . It was assumed that Africans were like beasts and not fully human . Even those who were against slavery for whatever reason , did not consider the Africans a part of American dream - many wanted to send them back to Africa . However , it is true that it was hard work , determination of the Africans who despite many odds managed to become a part of the American fabric . So to those who say Africans have less intelligence or less adaptability , I say that the history shows the exact opposite .

Takes out a book, uses a phone, everyone laughs, I die a little inside...

It's not kidnapping it's a vacation in a basement.😂😂😂😂

Ben Carson dictionary (two)definitions: Ding Dong--silly or foolish person. Black from outside; white from inside.

..that their azz are historically disadvantaged..lmao..I luv Trevor..funny man!

I love you trever noah you are amazing

Well said sir. Mr. Noah I may not share all your views but I do like the show my friend good job

Can't wait for the trumplings to compare him to the Obama quote, and use it as logic forever

I guess you don't need to be clever to be a brain surgeon.

He didn't ignore the difference he referenced it in the quote.

this guys awesome, best show every :D
