Trevor Noah On George Floyd, Amy Cooper & Racism In Society | The Daily Social Distancing Show 

Comedians are often among the most intelligent. It requires a lot.of intellect to be funny.

I stand humbled,so well articulated

Gotta be smart to be funny. Dumb people aren't funny.

King James ..agree..ever see the Dumpster laugh uproriously at a good joke?

I always saw comedians as some of the smartest people there are.

I agree. I was very impressed with how he explained what has appeared to be inexplicable. Growing up during apartheid has given him great insight on racial inequality and I've never heard it expressed so eloquently. Brilliant!

I agree and I salute Trevor Noah how eloquently he speaks calmly about the most complex saddest event. Just goes to show how intelligent he is and the wisest man I've ever heard. God bless him🙏🙏🙏

i could not agree moree!!

Officially called coloured

As a South African black man you should know how much better white people are then you

taylor sheldon he is better than you asshole!

taylor sheldon you win the Most Ignorant Comments award today. Congrats.

Some people are demonstrating absolute hypocrisy here. Black South African take their anger on on Nigerians and Zimbabwe rather than whites in SA.

I'm sure he would prefer anonymity while being alive instead of what happened but at least he won't be forgotten #blacklivesmatter

He knows.

@@annesimon537 No he doesn't, there's no happy endings or silver lining for him, it's a tragedy that will never be repaired.

I'm not religious but I pray everyday, that he knows he did not die in vain, and that his horrific murder is serving as a catalyst for change. I hope, I hope so hard this is the moment.

Hawk obviously everybody would. His death was a tragedy but helped bring to light (to the world) the sad fate of black men at the hands of police brutality

We Should All be Speaking Out ! That's the Power of the Internet. Join Trevor's Twitter Page and Like & Agree & Reply, with a Message of Support. The same with tRump - Read 1 of his Mad Tweets - eg: '1st the Looting, Then the Shooting!' & 'Mayors & Governors should be Taking Control ! Using the Police ! Use the National Guard ! I'm using a forgotten Law to put the Military on the Streets !" OF America? WhoTF Does That !? Who has people looking up the Mad Shit he's trying to Use to Stay in Power !? I'm Not America- I'm in the UK. controlled part of the North of Ireland, so we enough shit of our own to be getting on with !! But even I Worry about just how Deranged this Mad oul' Bastard Really Is ! - Or should that be the "Backroom Boys" who pull his strings !? He's Never Intelligent enough to know about Old, Never used Laws ! So do they Tell him Mad Stuff and let him loose on Twitter ? And If that Is the Case, Then I truly believe it's Every Sane American's Duty to Sign up to Twitter and Bombard him with: "Are You Joking, Or Are You Just Deranged ! ?? You're president For As Long As We, The People, Say - Never Forget That ! An American Voter 🇺🇲 .

As a white Aussie certainly privileged via pigment Guy, if I saw you or your father or any black man or woman taking abuse like that brother, I wouldn't film it... I'd be there making sure they knew they weren't going to get away with it and I know I'm among many today.... I'm really sorry for you having had such experiences brother;)

HEY VINCE ,,,,,i feel you brother ,,,,,from one canadian to another,,

I was born in Canada and first I say, welcome to Canada, yes we are not perfect and yes I feel racism is getting worse and it breaks my heart. I have a friend that moved up from the USA and after a natural disaster in the southern USA and she said to me after I mention the disaster “who cares they are just lazy black people.” She did not expect my response to the comment and has not spoken derogatory about “black people” to me again. That’s what will stop racism, people standing up against the words people spoke and letting them know you won’t tolerate it.

Teresa S Good for you . We have to call people out on their hatred and racism, and if we can do it a caring and calm way all the better. (By staying friends with this woman you probably had a greater influence on her. )

Vince K That’s heartening for me to hear as a white middle class Canadian. I consider myself very fortunate to live in Canada but I always want to be careful not to come across as smug, because Canada’s far from perfect. The indigenous people of Canada will sure tell you that!

when I saw the Amy Cooper video I told my husband that she should be charged for attempted murder. There was a female police officer recently that killed a restaurant owner who had done good for the neighborhood and the police in that neighborhood who indiscriminately shot into a crowd near his restaurant (yes it was after curfew but the news article stated the people standing there were waiting to get into the restaurant) the woman was put on administrative leave but I feel she should have been arrested for reckless endangerment at the very least.

So true. And then bear in mind that this is something that has always been happening in this country. Enough is enough.

Do you think so ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BC32GTt7dB8.html

@@olinewright6877 black guy said to amy twice or more call the police, call the police so he was not afraid, not escaping etc

@@frofrofrofro900 because he was recording and had evidence of him doing nothing wrong.he had proof, but if that video never made it online things could have been much different,and nobody would ever know the truth .

No one could have said it better 👌👍💕

This is the way.

A man who knows this better than anyone. Who else could speak this level of truth?

Exactly👍👍💕

Holy shit.... wow, thank you, Trevor. You really are a great thinker of our time. ✌🏻❤️

Brazil

It made me think there must be countless "George Floyd" killed the same way by them in the past but never caught in cameras! In the video, those policemen were so calm and so familiar with whole process of frame George Floyd while the monsters were actually enjoying murdering him.

@@bunnyz2834 ya also the arsons and the looters would have gotten away with that

Miro Silva what’s happening in Brazil, cos I’ve seen loads of people talking about it but I haven’t been able to find anything about what’s going on

@@tdfhion9936 I said Brazil, in the first comment, why here if the police realize that it is being recorded, even though it is permitted by law, they react viciously, so there are not many busted. But all week we have news of families who lost someone killed by police, mostly black, the most recent case was about a police operation in a community in Rio de Janeiro that ended up with a 14 year old boy (João Pedro) he was shot inside his uncle's house, according to the investigation the police carried out more than 60 rifle shots inside the house, one hit the boy, the police said drug dealers had entered the house.

He’s so hot!

I hate that argument that people make. "Stick to what you know, go tell jokes, go play sports, etc." His opinion and his vote, is just as valuable as the average keyboard warrior or couch potato making the comments. If not more, considering his life experiences.

This man was born a crime.

Fuck those people. They don't know shit

Growing up in apartheid half white---must've made this experience a 100X more acute.

Anyone that says he needs to "stick to jokes" has never really listened to his jokes. Because every single one of his stand-up acts, every episode he's done for The Daily Show, both as a correspondent and host, has had something to do with politics, racism, or race relations in America, in South Africa, everywhere he's been. It may not permeate all of his bits, but it's addressed somewhere.

Aye, there was this celebrated party with the slogan "no taxation without representation". Trevors argument is pretty similar, but put way broader. Its not about money its about the entire value of society and its members.

xMelanie Anarchy is only the opposite of archa, i.e. domination. An anarchist is therefore anyone who rebels against rule, such as at a demonstration. Likewise, anyone who is against fascists is an anti-fascist. And in a country that once defeated the Nazis, there should be many menshisks who are against fascism. Basically all but the fascists. It is interesting to see how straight fascist and racist demagogues define the content of words. And it is sad to see how unreflective this propaganda finds its way into colloquial language.

🙏Amen to that. ✌🏿✌️✌🏻

Apologies are not enough when those ill-minded people keep slapping my face, killing me by white police, ruining my children future and destroying my family at the end. As soon as you born as white, you know you can easily escape from all sins/violence/ corruptions.

Anarchism stands for liberation of the human mind from the dominion of religion; the liberation of the human body from the dominion of property; liberation from shackles and restraint of government. It stands for social order based on the free grouping of individuals. - Emma Goldman

aljanat5 I don’t follow anyone blindly I suggest you read Noah’s book... His own experiences qualifies him more than any politician....

True. Who know how many times has she successfully done it before? How many times has she scared black people from asking her to obey the law? This time she got caught...

The aspect that she thought would affect the police response wasn't the misrepresentation: He is an African-American man! That's the most scary thing, not the idea that the police would behave differently simply because her life was being threatened, but they would behave disproportionately because of the way he looked.

He's been accused of 3rd degree murder.

The same way as when a priest does some shitty things in a town, people get angry and the church just send him to another town, far away, to the other end of the country. Due to social media it became harder for them to do it but it happened all the times before, that's why people were defensive when a new priest came to town and why they tried to get in contact with people from where the priest came from to get what kind of person was he.

Psy Op 4 cops,(1 cop with hands in pocket) cop car doors open,G Floyd 1 cm away,7mins until paramedics arrive Hello,wakey,wakey Earth SEES

Covid-19 is still a problem; maybe wait a little with the hug, you don't want to make anyone sick.

Tl;dr

A lot of wisdom packed into 18 minutes huh?

As a black man from Africa, i agree with your statement

You poor snowflake. Well done for perpetuating this leftist myth of white privilege and systemic racism and pushing the marxist agenda of victim politics.

Colin Kaepernick proved that

Or US President?

@@mrjohncrumpton You have to be born in the US to be president. He could become governor.

Facts! 👏🏾👏🏾

The fact that you need to be born in the US to become president, reeks of the xenophobia and nationalism that the US represents. That needs to change too! You don't need to be born in Canada to run for prime minister.

@@cecetheworld Well its to protect the country and reduce the chances of a spy being president. But i do get what you mean

Eric Wilson I think the star system was better. Utube should re-estate it.

i wish i could bludgen his face in. guess we both cannot get what we want.

Well said

Who oppressed you?

If you don’t hold yourself to higher standards than your oppressor then what’s the difference? From the outside why would anyone care one way or the other if one side isn’t better than the other?

@@ard1805 you lame.

clasher37 I’ll go think about what I’ve become...

Sad to say Barry but those platitudes just don't cut it right now. 'Wishing' the problem away will never solve it. White America above all has to take a real, long hard look at itself. The (peaceful) change can only happen with an end to the complicit silence of White America to this barbarism that has gone on for far, far too long. If not, there is no hope of saving America.

Really? Don't know where you live but where I live, where I work, the friends I have as regards your race, sex, persuasion, age or anything else it all means nothing to us. We don't judge, we welcome all.

Unfortunately racism will never be destroyed from peoples minds, but hopefully we can make sure that it’s not at the cost of someone’s life, opportunities or happiness

My guy that makes comedy out of anything. He always finds a way to make me laugh

Thank you for your understanding . Xoxo

GourmetGilda ofc a lot of people recognise the struggles that anyone goes through. While BLM may be the main focus now, it is also used to bring attention to people who are victims of inequality and are struggling. The BLM movement doesn’t mean that we don’t care about others

@@GourmetGilda Yes but the black community is overwhelingly the prime victim of the brutality and sadism of the police in the US and is dispproportionately represented in the numbers killed.

@idc anymore. There is no statistics that backs your statements

Black lives matter✊🏿

😟

Sadly, that's true. They'll be watching and listening to commentaries that suit their beliefs. Their minds were made up for them at an early age. No kid understands racism or discrimination, they inherit it. How can that be changed?

@@kielanmcbride4001 by talking to eachother in a respectful way. Sent the video to your more rightwinged friends. Things change with time

Same here

It's your heart & soul that matters. It's what makes you a member of the Genus Homo sapiens. Human Beings. Maybe you can turn the tide a little, now you know, as sadly there are a lot of lesser hominids who don't care for us, be we Black or White Human Beings who have empathy & compassion.

GourmetGilda but they’ve been trying keeping up their morals for many years just for it to get thrown back in their face

First and third world is a figment of your imagination , if not how then did you miss second world ? 😂

In

Real change in USA will take generations. 😔

@@bismarkadu8799 😃😁🤣 2nd n developing nations also be in a better position.

@@MarioBonothe only thing certain about change is change itself. People's will n power make changes besides military coup n being invaded for regime change 😀 hopefully they know the most powerful way is thru voting out the bad actors n actress in local n national front 😇

That isn't pride, that's just relief that your not the worst. Cases like Amy Cooper happen in the UK all the time and the wealth disparity is just as bad.

@@stephencowling8404 In the UK, the richest 1% owns 20% of the nation's wealth. Not good, but in the US that figure is 42.5%. So no, wealth disparity is nowhere near as bad in the UK (or anywhere else for that matter) as in the US - the 2nd biggest wealth gap is the Netherlands on 28%. Additionally here you don't have diabetics having to ration their insulin because they can't afford the proper dosage! The US is systemically corrupt to the core - politicians are openly bought and sold by multi-national corporations, anti-democratic practices like gerrymandering are commonplace, and this is just accepted by the masses as 'the cost of doing business'. In the UK, any politician who engaged in such practices would find themselves promptly indicted. inequality.org/facts/global-inequality/#us-wealth-concentration

this uncle tom is nothing but a pawn piece for his masters, he has 0 and i mean 0 original thoughts and idea. he is a parrot nothing more..

he is South African, he is not able to become President of the US, on the other hand if he became a Canadian he could be our Prime Minister!

Same here in Canada. We’re far from perfect, but in no way as bad as the US.

I think everywhere can do better, racism is more than just white cops murdering unarmed people of colour. Last fall I watched an amazing documentary about Adam Goodes and I think he’d argue that Australia has a long way to go to defeat racism.

Crystal Pritchard of course every country as work to do but what we are saying it’s Canada and Australia (I am Canadian and I lived in Australia) it s really less worse and racisme is more punish than in United-State

@@crystalpritchard5065 Saw that too and it was a blunt and wonderful story. My family history was deleted because my family married into a local tribe in the 1790's and early 1800's right through to the 1860s. My son at 6 asked to protest for protection of a local sacred site recently of his own accord. We have indigenous blood in our family but we did not wish to be seen any different so our kids, 22+13+6+5 have never had it fully explained untill lately. They were pulled to the local culture and they grew a natural respect for the local tribes, the elders and their dream time stories and naturally felt the need to defend all of it. They have grown up to harbor their own opinions and hanging around my immigrant and tribal elder friends had given them the opinion, as the 6y old says "we all suffer but how much is decided by everyone else". If kids are our future we might just have a chance.

Mad Mick Same here in England. Although racism still exists, the worst hit groups in my experience has been immigrants and Muslims that get most of the abuse over here -which is not any better. Racism in America though, fucking hell. It’s absolutely horrible. England is extremely far from perfect, between Chavs and the racist groups like British first and EDL.. but America’s financial and racial inequality amongst many, many, many other things. My heart goes out to all Americans who have been effected by the racism and corruption in their country, heartbreaking. The fact the police in my country don’t carry weapons and don’t kill people 99.9% of the time really helps stop the killing of innocent people like you see in America. America needs change.

Lol I'm greek too

Aussie aussie AUSSIE

Oi oi oi

It’s too bad people just focus on the looting (which I personally don’t agree with anyway) instead of the actual issue at hand. We wouldn’t have to loot if this wasnt a problem

@@tdfhion9936 true, looting and beating innocent people won't help George get justice
