Regarding the woman near the end that's nervous of being disrespectful: I'm black, and I honestly don't care if someone calls me black or African American. Like the interviewer said, it's okay to ask whether something you're doing is offensive. It's very much appreciated and always reciprocated.
+Scriptures Only lol now I'm just imaging someone naming every African American by name to avoid offending anyone by generalizing or using an offensive term "... and Carlos and Megan and Joe and Tyler and Canmie..." XD
The other thing is, how often do you actually identify the color of the person you are talking to. I might say, "I talked to the black guy who works at the library", but I can't think why I would ever have reason to say to him, "hey black guy", he already knows what color he is. So who are you worried about giving offense to?
there a few people who have a problem with being referred to as black or African American. I think it's because those people don't like the idea of being labelled. I know many people who I would consider black that don't want to be thought of that way because of the way that some white people tend judge black people. Which I think is ridiculous. For example raven Simone she was interviewed by Oprah or someone else and stated that she didn't want to be considered African American. Saying that she is an American.
well the slang doesn't say Black Lives Matter Too so I don't know how you expect people to understand such a slang that really hasn't been explained, they just claim that all their people are I some kind of genocide, we're all human I don't know why people have that Jupiter I have toenails for right and now to mow to preacher, how well a master chief can caravan a hotdog mustard topping running cross country zebra defusing bomb at A Bo2 best cod eat corn
When I misunderstand something I don't do something out of spite that is completely against what those three words mean. It's not a misunderstanding it's done to pick a fight, and completely deny people their humanity simply because we lack accountability and don't want to talk about things that make us uncomfortable. If it truly was a misunderstanding people would ask, not do things to further the disenfranchisement of black americans. "My son's kidney hurts, his kidney matters... all kidneys matter ma'am so you can continue to wait while your son dies and maybe we will do something about it but right now he's not a priority." Just like systematic racism isn't a priority and black people (your son) dies because instead of his kidney (institutional racism causing violent unwarranted deadly encounters with officers of the law) we are worried about every kidney (all lives matter) that isn't hurt.
BenREI Ltd. Recently, I have been thinking about making my own t-shirt: "ALL LIVES MATTER (It's just that some lives seem to matter more than others)". I wonder if that would illustrate the point?
I agree, I think her attitude toward the people she was interviewing really helped them realize that not all black people are "militant," angry people. As someone who grew up in a VERY small place in southern, rural America, it's understandable that the violent, uncharacteristic examples Fox News puts out there are the only examples these people may have of black people. As a side note, I'm really impressed at how well Hank Green's + system has changed TH-cam comment sections.
the irony in this video when just 48 hours after the prosecutor said it is nonexistent to get shot by police as long as your following along a man gets shot and shot at three times while completely following orders and the officer says " I don't know" in response to why he shot him.
+Speedyconnor18 I agree with you. Her attempt at comedy feels really forced to me and she comes off as obnoxious and very condescending in every single video. But hey, she's seen a lot of success, so maybe it's just not my type of humor.
The woman who didn't know what misogynist meant just made me sad... like that person was protesting on her behalf, and she just hated them because we have been trained to hate knowledge!
I like watching these kinds of episodes because it makes me want to be openminded with those who are conservative by realizing that we're all people and have similar compassion towards each other. And conversations help unite us and bring understanding.
It kinda gives you a view into how they might've ended up where they are with their own political views. I feel like for some of them, they feel they can't win with the African-American community, and so they lash out in frustration, which I can understand.
If you really want to be open minded to conservative views I wouldn't recommend going to a liberal show like this to find out what conservatives are about.
Well to be fair going to a conservative show to learn about their views is pretty off-putting for most people because you don't find a lot of nuance and potential for understanding in what they say. It takes a "liberal show like this" to see that the everyday conservative isn't totally crazy and impossible to find common ground with.
Aaron Hoy I recommend looking up Dave Rubin on TH-cam he interviews some conservatives, or you can just look up conservatives on TH-cam. Also, It is liberal shows like this that help fuel the belief that conservatives are crazy at all because to them you're crazy if you disagree.
This is totally awesome. I'm so, so happy to see that Republicans are open to learning more about the BLM movement, and are open to listening. This is how conversations start. You go, Republicans. Yes. (Minus the prosecutor. That dude needs to get his ears checked.)
+XGinger XSnap destroying property, chanting for the death of police, starting a #fuckparis after the Paris attacks, taking over the vigil for the Orlando shooting victims and whining about people not going to their "racial demonstrations," condoning vandalism and destruction of memorials and cemeteries. The list goes on
+Kyle Farmer haha did they really whine about people not going to their demonstrations after they've talked repeatedly about how they hate their "white allies"? If these Daily Show-likes were anything like their namesake they'd be making fun of BLM NOT the people that rightly disagree with their terroristic and racist ways.
excellent video. made me tear up a bit. ofcourse all lives matter!!! No one is saying they do not. all humans r the same n all lives need the same respect n dignity. the group where it does not happen needs to raise awareness. for me this is y i support the black lives matter movement. i aint for violence, i am 4 awareness
+Psychedelic Distortion Exactly! I'm against this notion that the cops are racist. I think we should accuse them of negligence rather than racism, unless you have actual proof besides a black guy being shot.
I like that there was a real conversation here, it wasn't just mocking those who don't have the same opinion but also showing that people are capable of empathy on both sides of the aisle. I want to see more of this! Especially in liberal late night shows. Let's close the gap.
haha this is funny because when none-whites such as Indians , Chinese, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Arabs were starting civilization Europeans were stil hunters and gatherers.
Of course these people are influenced by a long history of racism, but the root problem it seems to me is the human tendency to have strong views about something that (you yourself will admit) you know basically nothing about.
The problem I see is that they DON'T want to admit that. They will scrutinize you if you say that their fellow comrade was shot because he pointed a gun at the police. It's kinda scary - it's like, ignorance, en-masse!
i see that. but in the case of this video, several people admitted they know nothing about BLM, yet still had a strong opinion. I think that's more like insanity, en masse
That's because the people who are smart don't have strong views towards that stuff. They'd rather focus on stuff such as building relationships with that specific person and be genuinely sympathetic instead of looking at their race to sympathize.
+Marie Doe Oh God no, please don't apologize for being who you are! That's not what I intended for at all, but thank you for your compassion. It really is so nice to see people like you and Samantha.
+Tyrone Shelton Lol yeah but once centuries of slavery was over its not like everything was fixed immediately... It was up until fifty years ago that blacks were still beaten and ridiculed for wanting to go to integrated schools or drink from the same water fountain was whites. I understand that yes, people should work harder. But don't think just because slavery simply ended that the solution was reached and everything was fine. Being born and raised in places like Compton and North Philadelphia is very hard and you don't have the same environment as someone born in a wealthier area with adequate schools, housing, and resources. I'm glad you're doing well though!
+John Doe Lol a black therapist was laying on the ground with his hands up saying "please don't shoot me" while his Hispanic autistic patient was sitting next to him. Guess what honey, he still got shot.
+midas12354783 it's honestly like abusing a child for years, and then one day you decide to stop abusing that child. And then afterwards you offer no support and help, that child will still have problems, correct? That's what America did to blacks here.
Please do not have hope for me just because of my skin color, thanks. I'd appreciate it if you either like me for my personal attributes or just ignore my existence. Categorizing me based on my skin color is just racism, so please don't.
this video actually makes me feel so good about people though. we all just want to understand each other and be in support of each other, we just don't yet. WE WANT TO LOVE BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW
Why is it so hard to believe a hate group would name itself "black lives matter"? Why is it so hard to realize that people might use racism as a smokescreen?
It's so cute, they are like kinda racist and ignorant with huge prejudice but cause they never really REALLY stopped to think about it and face a black person while speaking their minds, and once they do it, a light is turned on in their heads. Those people are open to a healthy and honest discussion, and i appreciate that. also: THAT LOVELY WOMAN LISTENING THOSE AWFUL THINGS AND STILL BEING RATIONAL AND POLITE AND KIND, HIGH FIVE FOLLOWED BY A HUG TO YA
It's amazing how a misunderstood perspective can ruin people. I suppose no one wants to find out if their rough about something. Really need something to bridge the gap so they can be correct
Nick Schafer I can't agree more. This video basically sums up my thoughts on this whole ordeal. There is a lot of denial going on, and people in the BLM/anti-police movement are putting blame on others for their OWN blunders. Seriously ... I think people need to take a step back, and look at the whole thing. Some people just can't seem to see the other side...
I think part of the issue is the blm people are so paranoid they started assuming every problem they have was due to racism and they now have about the same level of credibility as an jewish conspiracy nut like David duke.
+Corey Palmer And homicides, and since police are sworn to protect and serve, cops should be held to a higher standard amd thus shouldn't act like criminals now should they. In the cases that sparked the rise of persistence of the Black Lives Matter movement cops were choking out and severing the spines of black men before the criminals had a chance. A man in Florida even got shot lying on his back with his hands in the air so as a person whose history includes apartheid and multiple stop and frisks on the way to school, church, and work there is a reason for mistrust and concern for blacks because we've seen true oppression and anything that reminds us of that not only on a personal level but represented in objective facts is cause for concern.
I am happy you showed the RNC people who were against Black Lives Matters as well as those who were willing to consider it when faced with a black person. And the fact that they were at least being sincere about their feelings. Was nice to see.
That was easily one of the most valuable and well-written/edited segments I've seen; that includes John Oliver, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Larry Wilmore, and every other comedian who reports the news.
Someone explained it to me as, when you hold a rally to support cancer treatment, you're not saying sufferers of other diseases don't matter, you're just focusing on cancer for right now. Calling attention to the needs of the black community doesn't mean others don't matter. It's just time to examine how police target the black community, and what can be done about specific problems affecting the black community. When people say all lives matter it's basically refusing to acknowledge that the black community suffers a particular plight.
The only thing I don't like about Samantha's view on political matters is that she generalizes white people, almost as if she doesn't know that she's white as well. As a Latino, it feels the same as seeing someone saying all Hispanics are ________. It just doesn't make sense when we try to educate conservatives on views that don't fit with their party's views. Not all white people are a problem, but saying so breeds this prejudice from a lot of minorities, just like anti-Muslim rhetoric breeds intolerance of Muslim-Americans in many conservatives. Does anyone feel the same way? I'm really wanting to discuss this.
modernwarrior24 To say white ppl in a country's govt founded by and for them specifically have no privilege over a group of ppl that were there slaves is ignorant. Ppl are alive today that couldn't use white ppls bathrooms and had fn dogs sicked on them and fire hoses turned on them for civil protest. So the whole 150 yrs ago argument is erroneous.
it is a large population of ignorant bull headed white people that are keeping the problems alive though. it might take other whites bullying them or whatnot to get them in line.
+Something Clever yes, in the past, my ancestors were likely racist, but why should I be viewed negatively or expected to give others special treatment because of actions that occurred before I was born? Some of this rhetoric that white people (like me) should feel guilty for actions that they were not responsible for seems very racist to me. For the most part, we as a society have gotten past the idea of the "sons paying for the sins of the fathers", with the only form of that concept that the media still accepts being the shaming of white people. Am I misunderstanding anything?
+ThrawnCaedus L It is because white people have a tendency to want to forget it ever happened!!! They are rewriting text books in Texas that omit slavery at all! We have to bring the topic in the fold so that they remember that all races are not born at the same place in the beginning of a race to the top. All Americans are capable of their dreams but many start with the burden of social injustice, a collapsing system of financial support to reach those dreams, by Republicans who view it as a waste of money aka scholarships and affordable housing, and systemic racism. Don't lash out at us because we are spreading the word and you don't want to hear it because it might seem a little unjustified. Your bygone comments are tangible realities that people of color cannot escape on a daily basis. Instead pick up the flag, join us in unity, and lets change this world!
Rotten Head See, that sounds the same as "There are many radical Muslims out there attacking America, and we need Muslims to be better at calling them out." Know what I'm saying?
This was any amazing piece. It was very touching watching some of the people being interviewed trying to understand and to make space in their minds and hearts for new information.
When I misunderstand something I don't do something out of spite that is completely against what those three words mean. It's not a misunderstanding it's done to pick a fight, and completely deny people their humanity simply because we lack accountability and don't want to talk about things that make us uncomfortable. If it truly was a misunderstanding people would ask, not do things to further the disenfranchisement of black americans. "My son's kidney hurts, his kidney matters... all kidneys matter ma'am so you can continue to wait while your son dies and maybe we will do something about it but right now he's not a priority." Just like systematic racism isn't a priority and black people (your son) dies because instead of his kidney (institutional racism causing violent unwarranted deadly encounters with officers of the law) we are worried about every kidney (all lives matter) that isn't hurt.
If a video makes like 5 million views in a day, TH-cam won't show it on the trending page. I thought it was a good idea at first, but I suppose their idea of what's trending is "look at the newest political video now because that's what's trending with the world, and not on TH-cam itself."
Sam Bee seems to use fake subs and accounts a lot. One top comment on a video was "THIS WOMAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH" or something like that in all lowercase.
This made me really happy to see. These aren't the usual just satirical interviews for the sake of making fun of people. They're constructive and respectful conversations that people actually learned from.
This was a great! I actually heard points from both sides and understand things a little better. I have been thinking about all this killing back and forth and it occurred to me that listening may be the key. Listeners are approached, bullies are attacked. In all the cases of violence I have seen recently the police are straight up yelling and screaming and demanding. I wonder what would happen if they spoke to someone and maybe asked for co operation in resolving the issue at hand. Idk. Just a thought.
I do think that talking to someone calmly and explaining why you are having them do something is reassuring. You reap what you sow. Most of the people who have had encounters with police in the recent videos were scared or on edge. Some cops take themselves to seriously and they feel they have to get respect by force and I beg to differ. I also agree with another part of your comment. The best thing you can do is listen wholeheartedly without being defensive. I got pulled over a couple of months ago because I had expired tags. The cop was really kind to me. I never had any tickets before so he explained everything to me and asked if I had any questions. If only most cops that we see in videos acted that way. Others might have assume that I did it intentionally and I was trying to be "slick", but I really appreciated how he handled it . It was a black man, I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but I would hope I would be treated like that by all cops.
you say killing back and forth. are you implying that theres a equivalency to the amounts of cop murders by blacks and blacks being murdered by cops? greek mythology = american mythology
+AegisEpoch Your question wasn't directed at me so I was really wondering what you meant, not deflecting. I see what you meant now I must of read it too fast Are you sure you didn't change your comment... (side eye)
That was beautiful. Learning why so many people are uncomfortable, learning that they are scared to offend African Americans. That's the first step in everyone just coming together, learning to forget those fears and be real with each other.
In all fairness, the Black Lives Matter movement does a horrible job explaining exactly what they want. I was a HUGE ally of the movement in the beginning. But when I started asking "how do we want things to change?" l could never get a consistent answer.
Love the good note on which this ends. It's really good to see someone actually opening their mind to the fact that they simply don't know enough about something to make a valid judgement on it. Really liked it
No guilt here, just immense anger at the willful ignorance and stupidity of people who generally seem to think that racial progress is the end of their smug, self satisfied world.
All I seem to do is watch comedic political talk show videos -- this video was by far one of the best I've ever watched. The comedy, the content, and, above all, the harmony of the ribbing of the RNC and the actual human interviews with Republicans that didn't vilify them. Well done Sam Bee and staff, well done.
This video is fantastic! The only way we can possibly move forward is just by talking and forming relationships. Like the end showed, when people start to get to know members of other groups, they are less likely to believe racist fear mongering and fake news. Thank you Samantha Bee and your whole team for such great work!
You rock! Yes people can be convinced to peer through the veil, and the more they see the more they open ther eyes. Please keep up the wonderfully thoughtful and entertaining content coming. As a foreigner I get hope from things like this for your country and consequently for all of us in this little blue marble.
Or at the very least, in the description text! I'm happy to have found out from another commenter here* that the black woman who caused some of the white republicans to almost have some introspection on race is named Ashley Nicole Black -- she was so on point here! *Useful TH-cam comments and GOP delegates attempting empathy all in one day -- perhaps a lottery ticket is in order!
I live in India (totally unaware of the situation) and when I first heard about the Black Lives Matter Movement when it started some time ago, I thought it meant *"Black lives matter too"* *_NOT_* "only black lives matter."
This really was a good segment, but I think Sam doesn't see or at least acknowledge the radical side of the BLM movement; I get it, African Americans feel persecuted by law enforcement and are subject to police brutality and I initially supported them in the beginning... Then came the riots and let me tell you, being caught in one changes your view on things . Maybe it's a clouded viewpoint because of that, but at this point, I consider BLM to be a borderline domestic terrorism group. When the original goal is cast to the side and people start obstructing highways, crashing parades, college events and hijacking memorials for their own agenda, and literally saying they want not only cops dead, but white people too, that's when I get put off by this sort of reporting. Again, I totally agree with the end results: we need open dialogue and learn to understand one another to bridge the divide, but when you choose to ignore something that's making that ideal difficult, you're pretty much negating the end goal.
It's not the whole entire movement just like the Police brutality going on a few spoiled apples ruined the bunch. Some of the people are getting too carried away and reflecting on the rest of the movement in a bad way. The same way the Police Officers do when a few prejudice ones intervene and hurt others. Both sides need to quite and acknowledge that what they're doing is not helping.
Kieana Wright Hence why I said radical side; I know there are people who don't stoop to such lows in the movement, but at this point, the loud and violent are the only ones getting attention (just like every other group...) The people who are on the peaceful side of things need to not only condone these actions, but stop them entirely...but The Bystander Effect really prevents this.
+Jessica Ustas (Kureji Neko) Sorry Jessica, sometimes my eyes skip lines when reading this tiny print off of my phone. I agree 100 percent with what you said.
The problem is that Black people have been screaming BLM for decades now and no one notices until it inconveniences their life somehow. Only when the cop shootings happened in Dallas did it all of a sudden become a radical movement. It's like when everyone blamed the LA riots on the Rodney King verdict, but no one take account of the Latasha Harlins shooting or the blatant racism in the LA police department and constant brutality. Tupac made a good point once when he said if you control all the food and he's outside the door singing "can I please have some food" and you don't do anything, it'll change to "give me some food," and if you still don't do anything over time it'll turn to them kicking down the door and taking the food.
Black lives matter doesn't have a leader. So many people take the idea and do with it as they please. You don't have to support the movement to support the message, I don't.
That was one great piece!! It shows that some people cannot be educated but that most can. I love it that I finished it smiling - made me just a little bit hopeful. Life is safer for most of us than it was when I was a child, but we do still have some work to do around the edges. May we somehow find the wisdom to see things as they really are lest we tear out the middle instead of mending the edges. Love, listen, learn.
I don't know if anyone from the staff of Full Frontal reads this but I just want to extend my deepest gratitude towards writer Ashley Black. Your patience, grace and strength in this is amazing and while I can't fully understand the difficulty entering into conversations like this as a black woman (I'm a white lady ;) I appreciate how you handled these conversations. It must have been hard and exhausting. And this midwesterner white lady believes Black Lives Matter. So thank you for your work!
After taking the time to read through the BLM website and pondering, this is what I've come up with. 1. The slogan should be BLack Lives Matter Too. 2. Most white ppl I know think BLM means only BLM. 3. Most white ppl I know think if the BLM movement believe in what they are striving for they should look at the overwhelming issues at their front door step. The unfortunate amount of black on black crime, the high amount of children growing up without a fathers and the overwhelming crime rate is, well sad. So I think may white ppl think while this may be an important issue the crux of the issues are being overlooked, and these issues can only be solved with in the black community. Which leaves ppl thinking do they really care about black lives or are they just making a stink??
I loved the white ladies at the end. I feel like that dialogue really touched on something important. They were so uncomfortable that they looked like they were about to cry. And I went through that phase, too. That's why it's so important to put yourself out there and in circumstances where you're exposed to all kinds of people and talk to them as people. Im a white chick who was in a diversity scholarship, so I was actually the minority because of it. And it was so eye opening. So many brilliant, well-spoken people from every background that became like family to me. Asking uncomfortable questions makes you feel hella vulnerable, so you need a supportive and kind environment to break through that
I had so much respect for the way the Bee's correspondants gently nudged people towards thinking more critically about what they were saying and got them to admit how they feel. And it shows that much of the problem comes from fear (which leads to anger), guilt and not knowing how to reach out and communicate in a loving way with one another. And as a reporter (who has covered many events by the far left of democrats and covered rural republican trump country) I have seen this on "both sides".
I could watch these interviewers interviewing the people all day long 😂😂😂 ....It's packed with: facial expressions, naiveness, confusion, sarcasm, stupidity... Please do more of these interviews, so it can open the eyes and minds of many. 👍
you are wonderful.. thank you for waking people up.... keep doing what your doing ,, it really matters. Sam... you are a brave girl.. love you. proud of you love.
This was nice. I liked this. People really want to know more. The most important thing is to speak to inform, not condemn. Condemnation gets results far more rarely.
See, THIS is what we need more of. People talking to each other. I truly believe that while there are hateful bigots who can't be changed or reasoned with, MOST people are just too focused on their own viewpoints and stay in their own little echo chambers but want the same things: less violence and less divisiveness.. When we talk to each other, face to face and one on one (even here, too, but it's harder) it leads to greater understanding and cooperation.
That was a great piece. That ending dealt out heaps of hope.

Some people hate to be called black, some people hate to be called african american. Asking is so much more easy than mumbling words.
The other thing is, how often do you actually identify the color of the person you are talking to. I might say, "I talked to the black guy who works at the library", but I can't think why I would ever have reason to say to him, "hey black guy", he already knows what color he is.

I know many people who I would consider black that don't want to be thought of that way because of the way that some white people tend judge black people. Which I think is ridiculous. For example raven Simone she was interviewed by Oprah or someone else and stated that she didn't want to be considered African American. Saying that she is an American.
Linusbern2 -- good point however you and many people don't constantly point out 'color' but truthfully many people do...
You know people, it's called "Black Lives Matter", not "ONLY Black Lives Matter". No need for any of these people to get sooo defensive.

As a side note, I'm really impressed at how well Hank Green's + system has changed TH-cam comment sections.
If you don't know what a group does or wants, maybe hold off on the "terrorist" and "racist" labels.
lol exactly
What are you doing? You can't just ask people to *not* rush to judgement like that
But see, that's EXACTLY why groups are labeled: it's easier to label them than learn about them.
So when BLM rallies have people calling for police to be killed and others cheer and echo that, just ignore what doesn't fit the "definition"?

the irony in this video when just 48 hours after the prosecutor said it is nonexistent to get shot by police as long as your following along a man gets shot and shot at three times while completely following orders and the officer says " I don't know" in response to why he shot him.

Funny how all that "grrr political correctness" talk goes out the window when talking to a black person face to face.
You mean cos they didn't insult them for being black they're lame?
It's just a matter of trying to be polite, you idiot.
Greg. Sym. Not lame, just conforming to the thing they claim to hate.
Par for the course for Republicans, I suppose.
Contajus00 Gee, almost like that's what quote-unquote "political correctness" actually is.
+Gussie Jives Then why didn't you just say they were being polite? And does political correctness really equate to kindness?
I love all these reporters so much.

The woman who didn't know what misogynist meant just made me sad... like that person was protesting on her behalf, and she just hated them because we have been trained to hate knowledge!
Thank you Samatha Bee and everyone
who worked on this.
just awesome!
"how many times have you been stopped by the police?" pause..."no comment" says it all right there.
I like watching these kinds of episodes because it makes me want to be openminded with those who are conservative by realizing that we're all people and have similar compassion towards each other. And conversations help unite us and bring understanding.
It kinda gives you a view into how they might've ended up where they are with their own political views. I feel like for some of them, they feel they can't win with the African-American community, and so they lash out in frustration, which I can understand.
Also possible they primarily live in white dominant neighborhoods so more likely to be an echo chamber.
If you really want to be open minded to conservative views I wouldn't recommend going to a liberal show like this to find out what conservatives are about.
Well to be fair going to a conservative show to learn about their views is pretty off-putting for most people because you don't find a lot of nuance and potential for understanding in what they say. It takes a "liberal show like this" to see that the everyday conservative isn't totally crazy and impossible to find common ground with.
Aaron Hoy I recommend looking up Dave Rubin on TH-cam he interviews some conservatives, or you can just look up conservatives on TH-cam. Also, It is liberal shows like this that help fuel the belief that conservatives are crazy at all because to them you're crazy if you disagree.
"...forcing them to think critically about what they were about to say."
You know, "political correctness."
+
+
So thinking before you speak is also political correctness?
It's not political correctness ... it's the compassion for society, and the understanding that it's not just _"me"_ that is here on the planet ...
+ + + to all of you
This is totally awesome. I'm so, so happy to see that Republicans are open to learning more about the BLM movement, and are open to listening.
This is how conversations start. You go, Republicans. Yes.
(Minus the prosecutor. That dude needs to get his ears checked.)

+Flatts PvP How?
+XGinger XSnap destroying property, chanting for the death of police, starting a #fuckparis after the Paris attacks, taking over the vigil for the Orlando shooting victims and whining about people not going to their "racial demonstrations," condoning vandalism and destruction of memorials and cemeteries. The list goes on
+Kyle Farmer haha did they really whine about people not going to their demonstrations after they've talked repeatedly about how they hate their "white allies"? If these Daily Show-likes were anything like their namesake they'd be making fun of BLM NOT the people that rightly disagree with their terroristic and racist ways.
excellent video. made me tear up a bit. ofcourse all lives matter!!! No one is saying they do not. all humans r the same n all lives need the same respect n dignity. the group where it does not happen needs to raise awareness. for me this is y i support the black lives matter movement. i aint for violence, i am 4 awareness
When you've been privileged for so long, equality seems like oppression.
+Psychedelic Distortion Exactly! I'm against this notion that the cops are racist. I think we should accuse them of negligence rather than racism, unless you have actual proof besides a black guy being shot.
***** Yup! Police brutality is a real problem, not racism.
jasmine m. Can you prove they're being targeted?
jasmine m. Can you prove that it has to do with race?
I like that there was a real conversation here, it wasn't just mocking those who don't have the same opinion but also showing that people are capable of empathy on both sides of the aisle. I want to see more of this! Especially in liberal late night shows. Let's close the gap.
"I'm in this little white skin" HAHAHAHA
Dude it's hard being white, the sunburns I get are just out of this world!

+Denilson 415 Italians would tell you differently
+Jack f boarder line Brownies. Talk to some Irish/Scottish
- How many times you've been pulled over by a cop?
- No comment.
You should've cut the video there.
If all lives matter, then black lives must matter too
Only, all lives don't matter until black lives matter.
+Lala Loo Exactly.
thats the definition of racism.
Black lives matter is needed because for 400 years black lives didn't matter.
turtlecoal well apparently they didn't matter to people in africa that sold their own race
haha this is funny because when none-whites such as Indians , Chinese, Egyptians, Ethiopians, Arabs were starting civilization Europeans were stil hunters and gatherers.
Yea, but Ethiopians kinda fell off.
Of course these people are influenced by a long history of racism, but the root problem it seems to me is the human tendency to have strong views about something that (you yourself will admit) you know basically nothing about.
The problem I see is that they DON'T want to admit that. They will scrutinize you if you say that their fellow comrade was shot because he pointed a gun at the police.
It's kinda scary - it's like, ignorance, en-masse!
i see that.
but in the case of this video, several people admitted they know nothing about BLM, yet still had a strong opinion.
I think that's more like insanity, en masse
That's because the people who are smart don't have strong views towards that stuff. They'd rather focus on stuff such as building relationships with that specific person and be genuinely sympathetic instead of looking at their race to sympathize.
2:23 "How many you've been pulled over by a cop"... That says it all
Sending the Sam Squad out to pick up some white whine for dinner.
Lol
:D

But she's white
Honestly Samantha Bee gives me hope in white people. And then the people in the interview crush that hope.
+Marie Doe Oh God no, please don't apologize for being who you are! That's not what I intended for at all, but thank you for your compassion. It really is so nice to see people like you and Samantha.
+Tyrone Shelton Lol yeah but once centuries of slavery was over its not like everything was fixed immediately... It was up until fifty years ago that blacks were still beaten and ridiculed for wanting to go to integrated schools or drink from the same water fountain was whites. I understand that yes, people should work harder. But don't think just because slavery simply ended that the solution was reached and everything was fine. Being born and raised in places like Compton and North Philadelphia is very hard and you don't have the same environment as someone born in a wealthier area with adequate schools, housing, and resources. I'm glad you're doing well though!
+John Doe Lol a black therapist was laying on the ground with his hands up saying "please don't shoot me" while his Hispanic autistic patient was sitting next to him. Guess what honey, he still got shot.
+midas12354783 it's honestly like abusing a child for years, and then one day you decide to stop abusing that child. And then afterwards you offer no support and help, that child will still have problems, correct? That's what America did to blacks here.
Please do not have hope for me just because of my skin color, thanks. I'd appreciate it if you either like me for my personal attributes or just ignore my existence. Categorizing me based on my skin color is just racism, so please don't.
this video actually makes me feel so good about people though. we all just want to understand each other and be in support of each other, we just don't yet. WE WANT TO LOVE BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW

why is it so hard to say black lives matter?
+jkjkjk Exactly! 💯😌👏👏👍
Why is it so hard to believe a hate group would name itself "black lives matter"? Why is it so hard to realize that people might use racism as a smokescreen?
chaseauguster557 its a given everyone knows black lives matter. Cops arent killing black people in epidemic levels just look at the numbers.
Telling lies isn't in people's nature. xD
Love this lovely lady!!

AMEN...or YES
Samantha Bee is barely a female, much less a lady. "She" is a very manly woman, or perhaps a slightly womanly man.
+Yashriya Lohchav
How can I "research" that? She looks and talks like a man but she's probably a woman. Doesn't need any research.
It's so cute, they are like kinda racist and ignorant with huge prejudice but cause they never really REALLY stopped to think about it and face a black person while speaking their minds, and once they do it, a light is turned on in their heads. Those people are open to a healthy and honest discussion, and i appreciate that.
also: THAT LOVELY WOMAN LISTENING THOSE AWFUL THINGS AND STILL BEING RATIONAL AND POLITE AND KIND, HIGH FIVE FOLLOWED BY A HUG TO YA
It's amazing how a misunderstood perspective can ruin people. I suppose no one wants to find out if their rough about something. Really need something to bridge the gap so they can be correct
sadly, they just believe what the conservative pundits force feed them :(
Nick Schafer
I can't agree more. This video basically sums up my thoughts on this whole ordeal.
There is a lot of denial going on, and people in the BLM/anti-police movement are putting blame on others for their OWN blunders.
Seriously ... I think people need to take a step back, and look at the whole thing.
Some people just can't seem to see the other side...
I think part of the issue is the blm people are so paranoid they started assuming every problem they have was due to racism and they now have about the same level of credibility as an jewish conspiracy nut like David duke.
All Lives Matter. Wow, these people just have to make it about themselves.
Dude... how is that making it about themselves? And if that seems self-centered, what do you think of the name black lives matter?
+Scott Summers Citation needed. Look up Paul Joseph Watson. He has plenty of videos of BLM. I think you'll enjoy them.
+Corey Palmer And homicides, and since police are sworn to protect and serve, cops should be held to a higher standard amd thus shouldn't act like criminals now should they. In the cases that sparked the rise of persistence of the Black Lives Matter movement cops were choking out and severing the spines of black men before the criminals had a chance. A man in Florida even got shot lying on his back with his hands in the air so as a person whose history includes apartheid and multiple stop and frisks on the way to school, church, and work there is a reason for mistrust and concern for blacks because we've seen true oppression and anything that reminds us of that not only on a personal level but represented in objective facts is cause for concern.
"All" and just "yourself" cannot coexist in the same sentiment. FOH.
It's like showing up to the Susan G Komen 5 Day and screaming all about testicular cancer.
I am happy you showed the RNC people who were against Black Lives Matters as well as those who were willing to consider it when faced with a black person. And the fact that they were at least being sincere about their feelings. Was nice to see.
I bet none of those people have 1 black friend
Maybe the black guy has one or two? Not necessarily...
His mother doesn't count.
+AsSheLikesIt xD
More specifically, I bet none of those people even know someone black
Why would you assume that?

That was easily one of the most valuable and well-written/edited segments I've seen; that includes John Oliver, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, Larry Wilmore, and every other comedian who reports the news.

The end of the video made me so happy. Guys the key is literally being open minded and calmly and respectfully having those tough conversations.
As a Brit, thank you for uploading onto YT.

So refreshing to hear.
I just fell in love and her name is Ashley Nicole Black. :)

Someone explained it to me as, when you hold a rally to support cancer treatment, you're not saying sufferers of other diseases don't matter, you're just focusing on cancer for right now. Calling attention to the needs of the black community doesn't mean others don't matter. It's just time to examine how police target the black community, and what can be done about specific problems affecting the black community. When people say all lives matter it's basically refusing to acknowledge that the black community suffers a particular plight.
The only thing I don't like about Samantha's view on political matters is that she generalizes white people, almost as if she doesn't know that she's white as well. As a Latino, it feels the same as seeing someone saying all Hispanics are ________. It just doesn't make sense when we try to educate conservatives on views that don't fit with their party's views. Not all white people are a problem, but saying so breeds this prejudice from a lot of minorities, just like anti-Muslim rhetoric breeds intolerance of Muslim-Americans in many conservatives.
Does anyone feel the same way? I'm really wanting to discuss this.
modernwarrior24 To say white ppl in a country's govt founded by and for them specifically have no privilege over a group of ppl that were there slaves is ignorant. Ppl are alive today that couldn't use white ppls bathrooms and had fn dogs sicked on them and fire hoses turned on them for civil protest. So the whole 150 yrs ago argument is erroneous.
it is a large population of ignorant bull headed white people that are keeping the problems alive though. it might take other whites bullying them or whatnot to get them in line.
+Something Clever yes, in the past, my ancestors were likely racist, but why should I be viewed negatively or expected to give others special treatment because of actions that occurred before I was born? Some of this rhetoric that white people (like me) should feel guilty for actions that they were not responsible for seems very racist to me. For the most part, we as a society have gotten past the idea of the "sons paying for the sins of the fathers", with the only form of that concept that the media still accepts being the shaming of white people. Am I misunderstanding anything?
+ThrawnCaedus L It is because white people have a tendency to want to forget it ever happened!!! They are rewriting text books in Texas that omit slavery at all! We have to bring the topic in the fold so that they remember that all races are not born at the same place in the beginning of a race to the top. All Americans are capable of their dreams but many start with the burden of social injustice, a collapsing system of financial support to reach those dreams, by Republicans who view it as a waste of money aka scholarships and affordable housing, and systemic racism. Don't lash out at us because we are spreading the word and you don't want to hear it because it might seem a little unjustified. Your bygone comments are tangible realities that people of color cannot escape on a daily basis. Instead pick up the flag, join us in unity, and lets change this world!
Rotten Head See, that sounds the same as "There are many radical Muslims out there attacking America, and we need Muslims to be better at calling them out." Know what I'm saying?
This was any amazing piece. It was very touching watching some of the people being interviewed trying to understand and to make space in their minds and hearts for new information.
When I misunderstand something I don't do something out of spite that is completely against what those three words mean. It's not a misunderstanding it's done to pick a fight, and completely deny people their humanity simply because we lack accountability and don't want to talk about things that make us uncomfortable. If it truly was a misunderstanding people would ask, not do things to further the disenfranchisement of black americans. "My son's kidney hurts, his kidney matters... all kidneys matter ma'am so you can continue to wait while your son dies and maybe we will do something about it but right now he's not a priority." Just like systematic racism isn't a priority and black people (your son) dies because instead of his kidney (institutional racism causing violent unwarranted deadly encounters with officers of the law) we are worried about every kidney (all lives matter) that isn't hurt.
"I don't know anything about it, but i'm against it."
This level of reasoning has the power to elect a nation's leader.
Trending at 29,000 views with almost 300,000 subs, I wonder how this happened?
Yea i have no idea, I wonder why? Lol media has become a joke
Neon Venom Yea money... And to pollute the Internet with their political agenda
Fake subs.
If a video makes like 5 million views in a day, TH-cam won't show it on the trending page. I thought it was a good idea at first, but I suppose their idea of what's trending is "look at the newest political video now because that's what's trending with the world, and not on TH-cam itself."
Sam Bee seems to use fake subs and accounts a lot. One top comment on a video was "THIS WOMAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH" or something like that in all lowercase.
This made me really happy to see.
These aren't the usual just satirical interviews for the sake of making fun of people. They're constructive and respectful conversations that people actually learned from.
This was a great! I actually heard points from both sides and understand things a little better. I have been thinking about all this killing back and forth and it occurred to me that listening may be the key. Listeners are approached, bullies are attacked. In all the cases of violence I have seen recently the police are straight up yelling and screaming and demanding. I wonder what would happen if they spoke to someone and maybe asked for co operation in resolving the issue at hand. Idk. Just a thought.
I do think that talking to someone calmly and explaining why you are having them do something is reassuring. You reap what you sow. Most of the people who have had encounters with police in the recent videos were scared or on edge. Some cops take themselves to seriously and they feel they have to get respect by force and I beg to differ. I also agree with another part of your comment. The best thing you can do is listen wholeheartedly without being defensive. I got pulled over a couple of months ago because I had expired tags. The cop was really kind to me. I never had any tickets before so he explained everything to me and asked if I had any questions. If only most cops that we see in videos acted that way. Others might have assume that I did it intentionally and I was trying to be "slick", but I really appreciated how he handled it . It was a black man, I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but I would hope I would be treated like that by all cops.
you say killing back and forth. are you implying that theres a equivalency to the amounts of cop murders by blacks and blacks being murdered by cops?
greek mythology = american mythology
+AegisEpoch your comment doesn't make sense you said cops being murdered by blacks twice.
:)
+AegisEpoch Your question wasn't directed at me so I was really wondering what you meant, not deflecting. I see what you meant now I must of read it too fast
Are you sure you didn't change your comment... (side eye)
That was beautiful. Learning why so many people are uncomfortable, learning that they are scared to offend African Americans. That's the first step in everyone just coming together, learning to forget those fears and be real with each other.
In all fairness, the Black Lives Matter movement does a horrible job explaining exactly what they want. I was a HUGE ally of the movement in the beginning. But when I started asking "how do we want things to change?" l could never get a consistent answer.
Love the good note on which this ends. It's really good to see someone actually opening their mind to the fact that they simply don't know enough about something to make a valid judgement on it. Really liked it
Ugh watching this kinda makes me ashamed to be white
Nah you shouldn't be.
We're all human
Aw don't worry. I'm sure some are good people.
I'm feeling some severe white guilt too... Lotta cringing...
No guilt here, just immense anger at the willful ignorance and stupidity of people who generally seem to think that racial progress is the end of their smug, self satisfied world.
All I seem to do is watch comedic political talk show videos -- this video was by far one of the best I've ever watched. The comedy, the content, and, above all, the harmony of the ribbing of the RNC and the actual human interviews with Republicans that didn't vilify them. Well done Sam Bee and staff, well done.
Most lives aren't being shot in the back or strangled for holding cigarettes by the cops. Hence the 'Black' in the title.
This video is fantastic! The only way we can possibly move forward is just by talking and forming relationships. Like the end showed, when people start to get to know members of other groups, they are less likely to believe racist fear mongering and fake news. Thank you Samantha Bee and your whole team for such great work!
oh, if only the worst thing you could call a black person that would hurt their feelings was "African American" or "black"
You know the positive end to that report actually got me kinda emotional. People can be great if they are willing try ! Happy Friday everyone :)
First! :D I love your work Samantha! Keep up the great work! :))
You rock! Yes people can be convinced to peer through the veil, and the more they see the more they open ther eyes. Please keep up the wonderfully thoughtful and entertaining content coming. As a foreigner I get hope from things like this for your country and consequently for all of us in this little blue marble.
Can we have the correspondents names on screen?
Or at the very least, in the description text!
I'm happy to have found out from another commenter here* that the black woman who caused some of the white republicans to almost have some introspection on race is named Ashley Nicole Black -- she was so on point here!
*Useful TH-cam comments and GOP delegates attempting empathy all in one day -- perhaps a lottery ticket is in order!
+J Jr oooh, so that's why she prefers being called 'Black'... it's actually her name. That's great.
Ah. See, we completely missed a joke because we didn't know the names
Great segment! Thank you full frontal
Oh please! Oh, please. I see a little bit of reason there.
Where?
NekoMouser some of the Trump supporters at the end of the piece were saying that they don't support his racist remarks.
I live in India (totally unaware of the situation) and when I first heard about the Black Lives Matter Movement when it started some time ago, I thought it meant *"Black lives matter too"* *_NOT_* "only black lives matter."
This really was a good segment, but I think Sam doesn't see or at least acknowledge the radical side of the BLM movement; I get it, African Americans feel persecuted by law enforcement and are subject to police brutality and I initially supported them in the beginning...
Then came the riots and let me tell you, being caught in one changes your view on things
.
Maybe it's a clouded viewpoint because of that, but at this point, I consider BLM to be a borderline domestic terrorism group. When the original goal is cast to the side and people start obstructing highways, crashing parades, college events and hijacking memorials for their own agenda, and literally saying they want not only cops dead, but white people too, that's when I get put off by this sort of reporting.
Again, I totally agree with the end results: we need open dialogue and learn to understand one another to bridge the divide, but when you choose to ignore something that's making that ideal difficult, you're pretty much negating the end goal.
It's not the whole entire movement just like the Police brutality going on a few spoiled apples ruined the bunch. Some of the people are getting too carried away and reflecting on the rest of the movement in a bad way. The same way the Police Officers do when a few prejudice ones intervene and hurt others. Both sides need to quite and acknowledge that what they're doing is not helping.
Kieana Wright Hence why I said radical side; I know there are people who don't stoop to such lows in the movement, but at this point, the loud and violent are the only ones getting attention (just like every other group...)
The people who are on the peaceful side of things need to not only condone these actions, but stop them entirely...but The Bystander Effect really prevents this.
+Jessica Ustas (Kureji Neko) Sorry Jessica, sometimes my eyes skip lines when reading this tiny print off of my phone. I agree 100 percent with what you said.
The problem is that Black people have been screaming BLM for decades now and no one notices until it inconveniences their life somehow. Only when the cop shootings happened in Dallas did it all of a sudden become a radical movement. It's like when everyone blamed the LA riots on the Rodney King verdict, but no one take account of the Latasha Harlins shooting or the blatant racism in the LA police department and constant brutality.
Tupac made a good point once when he said if you control all the food and he's outside the door singing "can I please have some food" and you don't do anything, it'll change to "give me some food," and if you still don't do anything over time it'll turn to them kicking down the door and taking the food.
Black lives matter doesn't have a leader. So many people take the idea and do with it as they please. You don't have to support the movement to support the message, I don't.
That was one great piece!! It shows that some people cannot be educated but that most can. I love it that I finished it smiling - made me just a little bit hopeful. Life is safer for most of us than it was when I was a child, but we do still have some work to do around the edges. May we somehow find the wisdom to see things as they really are lest we tear out the middle instead of mending the edges. Love, listen, learn.
can we just talk about the guy at 5:48's outfit
+Fluff-a-Duff ikr
I don't know if anyone from the staff of Full Frontal reads this but I just want to extend my deepest gratitude towards writer Ashley Black. Your patience, grace and strength in this is amazing and while I can't fully understand the difficulty entering into conversations like this as a black woman (I'm a white lady ;) I appreciate how you handled these conversations. It must have been hard and exhausting. And this midwesterner white lady believes Black Lives Matter. So thank you for your work!
After taking the time to read through the BLM website and pondering, this is what I've come up with.
1. The slogan should be BLack Lives Matter Too.
2. Most white ppl I know think BLM means only BLM.
3. Most white ppl I know think if the BLM movement believe in what they are striving for they should look at the overwhelming issues at their front door step. The unfortunate amount of black on black crime, the high amount of children growing up without a fathers and the overwhelming crime rate is, well sad. So I think may white ppl think while this may be an important issue the crux of the issues are being overlooked, and these issues can only be solved with in the black community. Which leaves ppl thinking do they really care about black lives or are they just making a stink??
Well thought out answer, I like that
This is the type of stories we need to see and act upon ... how to get Americans to have a dialogue with each other.
You PC bro?
Nah, I play PS4.
Aw, love the fact it ended on a happy note. Nicely done Sam Team!
Wow this Sam bee chick is hilarious
Said no one ever
Wow did someone tell you, you were actually funny?
You should probably stick with your old Dane Cook CDs.
+Emilia Venka I don't I understand how's she's so popular she's worse than the today's show
+FattishWonder naw, but still better than this chick
I loved the white ladies at the end. I feel like that dialogue really touched on something important. They were so uncomfortable that they looked like they were about to cry. And I went through that phase, too. That's why it's so important to put yourself out there and in circumstances where you're exposed to all kinds of people and talk to them as people. Im a white chick who was in a diversity scholarship, so I was actually the minority because of it. And it was so eye opening. So many brilliant, well-spoken people from every background that became like family to me. Asking uncomfortable questions makes you feel hella vulnerable, so you need a supportive and kind environment to break through that
Ughhh she's soo liberal.. Too liberal
i got aids wathing this video
stop watching and commenting on the video.
Yeah, stop polluting our echo chamber.
+Mason M scre republicans and democrats. vote libertarian.
Just by your profile pic I can tell you're a hardcore republican, probably Mormon
I had so much respect for the way the Bee's correspondants gently nudged people towards thinking more critically about what they were saying and got them to admit how they feel. And it shows that much of the problem comes from fear (which leads to anger), guilt and not knowing how to reach out and communicate in a loving way with one another. And as a reporter (who has covered many events by the far left of democrats and covered rural republican trump country) I have seen this on "both sides".
Samantha Bee should rename herself to white guilt.
Your team did a fantastic job! really great vid. here's to hoping those interviewed go out and do some research >
She's kinda funny. Her show is not all that good. Sorry.
+Agent Smidt stop being so ignorant it's funny and evil and we won't laugh at you constantly
Said no one ever.
I don't care im dirt broke, I want to buy this women a coffee for pointing out these social issues that need to be addressed.
I could watch these interviewers interviewing the people all day long 😂😂😂 ....It's packed with: facial expressions, naiveness, confusion, sarcasm, stupidity... Please do more of these interviews, so it can open the eyes and minds of many. 👍
This was freakin beautiful. Well done.
It is impossible to 'respect authority' that is not respectful of reality.
you are wonderful.. thank you for waking people up.... keep doing what your doing ,, it really matters. Sam... you are a brave girl.. love you. proud of you love.
This was nice. I liked this. People really want to know more. The most important thing is to speak to inform, not condemn. Condemnation gets results far more rarely.
this was really good! im so glad that at least people are willing to really come together. i get it, they don't really understand.
That was so beautiful, got tears in my eyes. Great job you black lady
As a Texan, I apologize for my states actions....I moved out as soon as a cld
I'm going to start following this show. It made me relieved that people (some) are trying
"What would you liked to be called?" You can call me African-Japanese-Russian-Indian and if you call me anything else then you're a racist."
See, THIS is what we need more of. People talking to each other. I truly believe that while there are hateful bigots who can't be changed or reasoned with, MOST people are just too focused on their own viewpoints and stay in their own little echo chambers but want the same things: less violence and less divisiveness.. When we talk to each other, face to face and one on one (even here, too, but it's harder) it leads to greater understanding and cooperation.
That was a great piece. That ending dealt out heaps of hope.
We should support the people who have suffered in Flint, Michigan. The water is contaminated with lead. Clean water for Flint.......Clean water for everybody.. of course, but everybody doesn't have toxic levels of lead. Black lives matter... every life matters...of course, but everybody is not being shot by police.
That ending was so heartwarming IM CRYING
Aw, this is scary, but I like the little message of hope at the end. Good job, Ashley!
this is was so good, props to the team behind it
