It takes a non-American to explain this so plainly.
And also half black an white
@@osbaldoduran549 That's a primary reason President Obama was "acceptable" in the blue collar swing states.
...and nobody be offended...and still understand the view points... I love him
Intelligence is hard to find here- we import it.
and peoples willingness to hear what others have been saying for 400 yrs
Trevor knows more about American history than most Americans.
Mimi Keel - As is the case with so many immigrants! This utter nonsense about ALL foreigners being a blight or plague on society is just that - NONsense.
Were you going to finish your sentence?
@@tracerit what's there to finish? It's a complete sentence.
@@wi1dcard192 notice that how he used "that" rather than "than".
@@tracerit oh that lol I'm sure it was just a typo, I'd glossed right over it (your original comment didn't really point it out very well so I didn't catch it then either)
This was the most brilliant explanation of reparations and white privilege I've ever heard
Most brilliant and yet it completely misses the fact that the "you" that he referenced when talking about repairing wrongs that you've done is not even nearly all white people alive today, yet he feels totally comfortable telling white people as a whole that we are responsible. The fact that this is the best representation of the idea that you've got says a lot about the quality of this idea.
Irish people were actually enslaved. Why else would they be shackled or stored in the bottom of a boat?
@@anthonyantoine9232 His ultimate statement was that the government is responsible for reparations, not "white people". And if you're argument is that white people were not responsible for each of the forms of injustice he mentioned... it would benefit you to learn the facts of US history.
@@JBurr1000 The government is of the people of America. This would mean that black folks would be paying in to their own reparations, as would literally every other person. How silly is that?
What does it matter what race they were? Seriously, I don't give a shit what color their skin was. What they did was wrong, regardless of their skin color. The only reason to bring it up at all is to attempt to prejudicially attempt to blame white people for past wrongdoings solely on the basis of their skin color in order to further the racial divide that people worked so hard to try and end.
@@JBurr1000 what about the rest of the slavery that went on across the world at that time? What about the whites that dies fighting to end it in our country as well as in naval ships.parked off the coast of Africa because many other Countries and cultures wanted to continue it?
That was a kind, respectful, and informative answer to what many (myself included) would consider an inflammatory and privileged question. Rather than responding with derision, Trevor turned to education and compassion. Very refreshing and inspiring. Thank you for your good example, Trevor.
@ you speak as though black americans came up with the one drop rule because to differentiate and exclude others and thus exclude themselves. I don't know if you are ignorant or just shamelessly disingenuous. The one drop rule was created by white people and codified into law and forced upon the black community in America. States used it to first decide who could be enslaved from birth, who could marry whom, what schools and public places a person was allowed to be in, what loans and neighborhoods people would be considered for. Advances in wealth and status were rolled back based on skin color and association with blackness correlated with worse outcomes from justice to education from medical treatment to job applications. Heck less than 10 years ago you couldn't walk in certain places while black without having your 4th amendment rights violated.
So you then turning around and blaming all of black america on how they seem to be very self segregated is insane and offensive. Generations of black Americans have tried to integrate and were forcefully denied and even punished for it...
Crap you must be a sophisticated toll. Oh well I'm feeding you anyway.
English is not my first language, and i m not american. so, even though i understood the words seperatly, i somehow didn't get the whole meaning of what the question was about. can you please explain it to me? thank you. (i understood the answer though.)
@ in America race is a huge deal. The census includes race as a question. Race has been a part of America since the first slave boat came. You must live in a different country. Race is such a thing that non whites must have separate TV channels to see anyone who looks like them at all. And even those channels are filled with negative stereotypes that feed the misconception of black people. As you stated " black mentality" . Thing is that isnt black mentality, it's just what the white MAJORITY run media keeps putting out in print, on screen, on air, word of mouth, everywhere. And you believe it, along with the MAJORITY of non black people it seems. That's a horrible thing that CENTURIES of spreading lies makes happen.
@@eliasgall3089 the audience member was saying that he thought that maybe someone might consider also giving money to white people who have been hurt economically and become part of the poor class by recent market and political changes. I think the intent there was to say "well if reparations are to help make up for economic disenfranchised, they shouldn't only go to descendents of slaves." Which Trevor rightly pointed out would be a general economic anti poverty initiative and not reparations at all and thus belongs in a separate conversation.
The reason people were upset by the question is because something like this is always brought up when discussing actually doing something for specific minorities. It usually ends up distracting from the question and implies that while govermebt policies that hurt specific minorities were unfortunate doing something to address a specific harm would be unfair if it also didn't help white people.
For instance take police violence towards minority communities. One of the arguments you will often hear brought up is that police are often also violent to poor white communities. This is not untrue, but instead of saying "since this is true lets be allies and address police violence by figuring out how to make it better and maybe what we achieve instrides for the worst affected communities will also be usefull addressing violence towards poor whites." They say " Because this is true you are not special, therefore, stop complaining." Or "we can't have any conversations or make any progress towards doing something untill everyone ever aknowledges that problems exist for poor whites as well. And when you admit that, there should be no special action taken to address racial bias because since class bias exists as a problem everything can be explained as classism and racial bias is not a real problem to be adddressed".
It's super frustrating. Because it os hard to win once you take the argument as a valid part of the comversation. They use it to erase the idea of the original issue. I'm not sure if people are just that uncomfortable about racism actually having an effect on people and what it might say about everyone who is a passive member of society. Or if it is because they can't stomach the idea of a minority group getting aid before all non minority problems are addressed.
@@LC-sc3en wow, thank you so much for taking the time for your detailed answer. now i understand, yes, that argument seems to be used worldwide as a killerphrase to end the discussion, also often in feministic debates here (Europe). i think one reason is simply jelousy as soon as some other group might get something "your" group does not get. another reason, i think, is that, if someone isnt't part of that minority, they have heard of but never experienced themselves the perjudices and negative consequences of the many injustices. so it s easier to downplay it, if not having experienced it themselves. also, if i m not part of a minority in my country, and they start a discussion about for example racism, i d have to rethink my own role in maybe unintentionally having supportet the unfair system and having profited from it. and that s hard to admit and hard to change. another thing is, if you are not part of a particular minority, sure enough you will still experience some injustice in your life. but it will be incidental and not systematical. and then, because that s all you ve ever experienced, you think, that s the same as what a minority systematically and permanently experiences. like, when a woman who works in a typically "male" job talks about how she does not get the same chances as her male collegues. sure enough, some man will come up with that one example of that one time where he was also not treated fairly. also, he will find that one expample of that one woman who did indeed make a good carreer. so, it s possible, therefor the problem doesnt exist. guess it must be similar to what black people get to hear, when they point out the unfairness they experience. "but Oprah is black and rich". and "but there s also poor whites". yeah, but, statistically.....
I knew right away this was going to be a great one. Trevor explains the problem, corrects the false assumption and re-frames the argument for further clarity, all while showing empathy toward the other person's position and never once belittles his "opponent."
This is how politics should be conducted.
Yes! Extremely well worded, thank you.
CHUURCH. 👏👏👏✌
@ Carrie ; It's the kind of whipping you give your child while telling him you know daddy loves you and the child responds " yes daddy I was playing dumb and stupid, I deserve this."👌 😂😂😂
His answer was so amazing
@@terradisiena I'm not sure if you meant me or Trevor 😏 but I'm always amazed at how articulate he is on the fly. You can tell he thinks deeply about things (outside the needs of the show) by how well his commentary is phrased during these off the cuff segments.
3:43 "American Government, meet the black people" The distinction he just made is very important. Yes, there are other kinds of sufferings/injustices, but the reparations conversation is intended to address a specific injustice done to black Americans by the American government. Trevor is amazing!
Sry. But the Indians deserve more that the poor black people. Like waaa waaa. You twots break more laws than all other groups combined! Never will you get any reparation from me! Get a job and earn your money like all the white people. Be more like us. Lol
Having a few dollars would be cool. But I'll will still not be treated the same if I check the box marked "ADOS" on any application. See this the @&>/ Affirmative Action was supposed to fix. The Civil Rights was supposed to fix. Get a few dollars you still a N word. Just a N word with money
@The Man Rock Well it's true. Imagine if there was a WET channel. It would be so racist. But BET is not. Hmmm why is that? Isn't that a benefit? Sure looks like it too me!!
@@greggrichard2516 Black people do not commit crimes at a higher rate, they're only targeted and prosecuted at a higher rate. Philando Castille had been pulled over by cops over 50 times before being murdered on a traffic stop by a cop. The old white lady who had Emmit Till murdered in the streets due to false accusations of rape was never brought to justice, meanwhile Jussie Smollett is facing 16 felonies for a false police report.
@@lucascavalcantidossantos what about attitudes towards education, fatherlessness, high school graduation rates, out of marriage pregnancy,... ?
Trevor Noah, people. This man is so smart and articulate, compassionate towards others, comprehensive and willing to spread knowledge understandably and kindly 💖 Beautiful soul
I also appreciate that he acknowledges that even he is in a different situation than a good amount of Black people. Even being mixed creates a privilege gap that can be hard to see but very much exists.
I agree hey. I am impressed at how He responds without being respectful to the guy.
hahahah, you are funny - they should give you a show
@CrazyStacey1970 define substance?
Campasionate?! He supports revenge killings of white farmers who had nothing to do with the apartheid they are being killed for.
Is it just me or did I hear a mic drop 😭✊🏿
Me sef I hear am😂
I didn't, what he said was super lame
Kehinde Biotidara gravity fakery
Kehinde Biotidara I heard it drop!
@@charlesswedenburg9449 what was lame about it particularly? Like what exactly was lame ?
God I love his brain, he gave an answer like he prepared for it
Well..
I wouldn't doubt they set this up so he was ready for it. Good answer anyway
@@victorgl9709 Nah, I don't think he had this answer prepared beforehand. He simply reads a lot and seeks to understand about important matters. When you read a lot (not harry potter kind of stuff, but substantial readings) your mind becomes sharp and you become able to deliver a precise and contentful answer on various subjects. Not bc you wrote them beforehand but bc you studied it
I was there. It was an impromptu question. My guess is like he said, many people approach him with similar questions like that a lot so I think that was why he was readily prepared with that answer.
Because it was scripted.
Damn.He broke it down so well and gave such a comprehensive and coherent answer.I love Trevor Noah.
tirtha simanta this whole conversation about reparations and his argument for it is just stupid. Just people looking to give handouts to make themselves feel like they are good people.
Kidus Negash oh ok great argument. Let's not look at what's fair and what's right. Dumbass
@@waterwaters what do you mean fair? The black people alive today didn't experience slavery, don't you think the people who were actually affected by slavery should get the reparations and not every black person?
@@mrspoopy3227 The effects of slavery is still being felt today.

Do the sins of the parents carry on to the children and the children's children? Also I'm half black and white do I get reparation or do I give?
well explained, but give an honest thumbs up if you watched this particular clip more than once 👍
He just articulates things so well, he makes it seem simple, but if I tried to say the same thing it wouldn't be anywhere near as coherent. I'll be watching this again too.
👍
About to watch a 2nd time
I'm on my fourth time 😁
👍Like 9 times I watched this clip
That was such an immediate and coherent response. What a brain
May well be a prepared question (felt like one) either way I partially agree with him...I just don’t know how you go about this if you’re the government. Do you pay it one big go or over time? How much do they allocate?
I think the real question is, will the government ever do it? They can’t even pay 9/11 victims, they’ve been trying to back out of that for years now
@MAGA What does that have to do with any privilege?
Was he supposed to go to prison for paying money to assault himself? Or imprison the people who he asked to assault him? Come on Bro.
@@TheArsenalgunner28 That is a conversation within the conversation my dude...
Oscar Mabece-well that’s kind of my problem really, the conversation is so big that this will be a long process that will need officials to negotiate it. If it ever happens, and by the time it happens, automation will truly have set in and white families will be struggling too. I think that may have been the intended direction of the question. It will probably Make a huge dent on the social divide which is already in a really bad place
@@TheArsenalgunner28 All of this is true man. Which begs the question, why even invest in such a topic considering the social and economic climate today. Is it all political theater? Is it all just a ploy to keep people focuses on an issue which by all accounts will probably never reach a fruitful outcome. I wonder 🤔. There's way more pressing issues with more of a practical chance at solutions that are being sidelined meanwhile... Sigh!
Wow, he broke it down in such a way, you had to respect what he was sayin. Even the white dude was like damn, ok I hear you... 🙌🏾
LOL not a peep afterwards
Yes he explained it in a good way! and I hope more people now understand that it not us white people live like kings and queens but that there are generally more bumps in the road for blacks
@@shai2137 You don´t realize that he is talking to someone far bejond himself in status.
He is just audience, he has his own show.....
@@Glaaki13 Nowadays it isn´t being black anymore, it is being poor. With how things were in the past, it meant that only white people inhereted wealth. If someone should pay, then them. They didn´t even work for what they got.
If you want that people who are already poor pay for "reparations" then I will stand against you, like the masses would. After all, even raising taxes is impossible in the USA.
I'm 1/8th black even though my skin is white, i await the reparations for the wrongs done to my ancestor. But ancestral wrongdoing is not what this is about, is it? I assume the one requirement for your reparations check will be the color of your skin, not a DNA test and family tree proving you were related to a slave.
My gosh, he's well read, funny, smart, humble, continues to stay grounded and handsome .... What a man what a man what a man what a mighty good man.
My goodness Trevor you are amazing ! When are you going to become American?.....so that you can KEEP all Americans informed!!
Okay, En Vogue.
he's none of those things.
Well read ?? All his books must have had the same author.
Sent by god!! He is a perfect human being!
Reading the comments and so many white people said they 'learnt something new' by watching this clip. Good on them and well done Trevor.
i learn something new about these issues everyday..
I learned how dumb people are if they think he made a good point
Good and bad because black americans have been saying the same thing for years
I don't buy that "learned something new" trash. None of this is new news, none of this hasn't been said a million times already. People hear what they wanna hear, when they wanna hear it, and who they wanna hear it from. They should say what they mean to say, which is they haven't cared to pay attention until now.
0627196700 my question with privilege is: what do you want us to do about it? The only people that could change it are the leaders of corporate America. We may live easier lives due to the color of our skin but I don’t see a way we can do anything about it.
Damn, Trevor handled that way better than I would have. LOL I need to work on myself.
Yeah my bile went up immediately at that duck and dive question. You damn well know that’s not the issue and are being disingenuous with your conversation changer.
Lmao
Honestly, truth.
For real, I was listening to Trevor in awe. Sometimes when I'm trying to get my point across I Stumble over my words and my explanations don't make sense ... I need to think like he does, I imagine his brain filled with file cabinets that he can just pull from.
@@rosahuerta380 when you are not from America, you see America from an observational standpoint. it's a tremendous advantage.
it's like someone in America saying America sucks, but someone from another country, who is observing and does NOT have to live here..they can say " well I can see why you think it sucks but it's not all bad "
when you are in the thick of the problem, it's extremely difficult to not be emotional in your responses and opinions about that problem.
but chances are if you spoke to Trevor Noah about apartheid, and you made an ignorant statement, he would respond with more passion...because he knows about it personally.
Trevor is so damn ready for any questions. Respect!
Mikey lol i wouldn’t even try
@Mikey You have to be on your A game and then some with him. If he wanted to do something, he had to have a valid reason for it. His mother was no push over. She would have a counterpoint and he would have come back with his own counterpoint. And this was no five minute debate. It made him analyze things from all sides. Get his book "Born a Crime". He explains their debates in detail.
@@gbriggs101 Trevor has never said he is an activist, nor does he conduct himself as such. He came here to get work as a comedian. He doesn't complain or place blame about this country, but he does bring to light the atrocities that occur here on a regular basis. Is that what you consider complaining? Apartheid has ended in South Africa much like slavery and Jim Crow have ended here, but the injustices there and here are still ongoing. The Africans are fighting to get their land back, as Blacks here are fighting here for justice and equality. Do you see the parallels?
@George Briggs He gets his material from current events, just as Kimmel, Fallon and Colbert do. He doesn't cast blame. He shows the event as it occurred. It might make you uncomfortable. He's a comedian with a social conscience. And the "White" people who own the station don't seem to have problem with his material. It might be time for some self-examination on your part as to what he's doing that's triggering you. This all came about because he was asked about reparations. Did you even watch the clip without any preconceived notions?
@@markkelley6700 A middle ground has to be met. The government should somehow provide training on how to work the land to avoid famine. Why is it such an issue when people want to be treated just and fair? Were the people whose land was stolen compensated? If you don't want to give up the land you stole from me, then at least pay me for it. If not, then don't get up in arms when I want it back. Scenario for the US is different. Blacks had no land here, but were stolen from their land. The fight here is for justice and equality.
Protect Trevor Noah! This man is on a mission to TELL THE TRUTH.
When he answers questions like this i get scared for him. His words hold truth and he has a following who will listen... Usually not a good mix when you speak for blacks
No he just straight up lies
While he articulated the case for reparations concisely. The problem isnt our arguments. The problem Is that America is a morally bankrupt country
Lamar Powells When America really wants to do something it can pay that’s just my opinion. They pay them fake Indians millions every year for stealing their land ect... Barack Obama did it.
@@l.daniels
Yes Obama sure did I watched him give them a billion dollar check.
Nope. His arguments seem to make sense until you know more history. Just give this short clip from Thomas Sowell a listen if you want to hear both sides. th-cam.com/video/vweIVidzETU/w-d-xo.html
America's Morals are in the drain, for sure
You can see how brilliant and intelligent he is by the way he manages to break it down and explain it diplomatically but resolute.
He didn't break anything down. He gave examples of white folks wronging black folks in the past, but he totally failed to connect that to why white people today are responsible for this, which is the entire basis of the idea that he's proposing. If you actually want reparations to happen, you need to clearly connect these 2 dots.
@@anthonyantoine9232 You can't say all white people in America are responsible for slavery because it is just not true. That is why he says it's a conversation to be had with the American Government.
@@shanmnl The American government is a government of the people, though. You can't separate the two. It's not a separate entity.
@@anthonyantoine9232True, that is how we got our civil rights. But to point out all white people as responsible even when there are those who were fighting with us is a generalization. Whites can speak out against the person doing wrong, but they are not personally responsible for anyone but themselves and their children. If you were bigoted against Asians, I would not claim you or be responsible for you but I would definitely speak out. It's like saying all white people are responsible for racism. All black people are responsible for Love and Hip-Hop lol I don't subscribe to that mess, didn't create it or put my money into it. All in all, it was systematic just like the oppression and failure of justice we experience today. The government deals in justice, so, therefore, is responsible for pointing out those who benefited from slavery and righting that wrong.
@@shanmnl I agree completely. I've even said elsewhere in the comments to this video that I think it was a moral wrong that slaves and victims of the Jim Crow laws weren't payed for the damages caused to them at the time.
Yes! The ability to view these issues objectively without the filter of American politics is desperately needed

Holy Platáno thank you, someone said it, I honestly can’t believe he had the nerve to ask Trevor Noah that question, it’s actually embarrassing. A South African man explaining to an American the history of America 🙄
@@sashao.1534 That is indeed the saddest part, a foreigner having to explain American history to an american.
@@sashao.1534 Before Trevor started answering him, I was thinking, "I hope somebody slaps that ignorant motherfucker in the face." Getting government money when you lose your job is called "unemployment benefits," not "reparations." JFC.
@Muriel Treille Ask a dumbass, narcissistic question and expect an equal response. He wasn't trying to move the conversation along. He was being narcissistic and ignorant.
Yes but it sheds light on how other people really look at reparations. Alot of people try to put themselves in our category when they can't. I am happy he broke it down the way he did because even someone who doesn't understand what reparations means or why it keeps being brought up; they should understand now.
Trevor BROKE that down. I need to carry this video with me for when I am met with those who do not get it...Great job! I liked him anyway, but my admiration just went up exponentially.

It is absolutely amazing how he can speak to ignorant white folk and make them understand stuff even though they are uneducated and programed and programmed
@@onthestageintheaudienceatt756 That's the benefit of having grown up in SA and seen Nelson Mandela peacefully transition the country out of Apartheid... It was all about including the white experience and knowing how to talk to them without threatening their existence.... How quickly we've forgotten huh?
Yeah I feel like this video gives his opinion on the matter much more justice than the original segment in the show. What he doesn't answer however is how poor black people without any (provable) family history of slavery would be treated because I feel like reparating only certain individuals doesn't align with his arguments in this video, saying that black people should get something back for not getting loans etc. That is not about "reparating" slavery, it's about reparating much more recent racial discrimination. Of course, he can't go into all detail in 4 mins, just curious.
@@ZippyLeroux wow!
@@the_bottomfragger most poor black folks that are here came ARe descendants of slavery if they aren't and they are poor black folks that means they have been traumatized by the reality of government-sanctioned genocide in the United States of America which is a continued reality of the slavery experience. We're going to err on the side of the black experience in the United States of America government-sanctioned genocide....
Allow me to reiterate this is about government-sanctioned genocide against black people in the United States of America primarily those who are the children / descendants of slavery
Government decided to allow us not to be able to get Bank loans to decide that the Tuskegee experiments went on to decide that theft of black intellectual property will be allowed in continue and on and on and on the laws the laws sanctions by the United States of America have perpetrated this insanity
The situations and circumstances that I described have been mandated by the government and only the tip of the iceberg if you were to go into detail you could talk about murder and rape and redlining and unfair practices from schools to insurance companies to Banks to real estate and on and on and on it is not necessary to prove our situation ..... there are two libraries full of paperwork describing the inequities to black people in America it is only to negotiate the deal of payment at this point
the legislative branch of the United States government cannot be involved because they are complicit the Congress and Senate complicit the president of the United States all of them complicit therefore it is simple matter of negotiating the deal writing the check and delivering the goal
there is nothing to prove no details to work out as far as what did happen it is known on the planet Earth of what has happened to us it is not something that has to be tried it is just something that has to be paid for.... reparations payment for previous wrongs
No study necessary no investigation necessary
Cut the checks send the gold
One of the most important things he said was this is a conversation between American blacks and the U.S. government PERIOD! It's too many other people thinking they have the right to put their two cents in...no!!
When I grow up I wanna be just like Trevor, although I'm pretty sure I'm older than him lol.
😂😂😂😂
The fact that this kind of question can be asked between the scenes to a night show host (and receive such a thoughtful answer). Just shows how amazing Trevor is. Imagine this being asked of Jimmy Fallon
We'd never hear about. He would of flubbed it all up
It would be a cringy answer.
I can imagine the result of asking John Oliver the question, though. He would take 2 weeks, research the topic to exhaustion than present in 25 minutes all there to say about it in. Fast paced, funny, horrifying at the same time and impossible to argue against.
He might just ruffle the guys hair
In fairness, Jimmy Fallon is a very different kind of show and is marketed as such. The Daily Show is political satire. The Tonight Show is not. That said, fantastic answer by Trevor. Because, no lie, I was already rolllllllllllllling my eyes when I heard this question start, so I would never have been able to respond so articulately.
Man. Trevor's ability to smoothly break down an argument and infuse it with history, logic, and humor without condescension is incredible...
and as a bonus is also way more attractive than any sweet/dirty talk on this earth. Yess talk sense to me, Trevor!
Amen.

Even if you don't agree with him, which I do, I love how polite and respectful his answer is. He does blow up or have meltdown. He doesn't start screaming at the person who asked the question. He doesn't belittle or mock them. He says he understands and then gives a well thought out, articulate and respectful answer.

As a republican that was the best argument I ever heard for reparations
Just that acknowledgement alone is everything. Thank you my new Republican friend.
Then you my frined never googled search
Welcome !!
That has been the argument for reparations that I've been told ever since I've heard the word for the first time. The sad thing is there are people such as yourself that are JUST NOW hearing it.
Edit: If you want to take it a step further, the US Government, promised freedmen reparations in the form of 40 acres and a mule to start their lives after slavery ended. The US government just never gave it when it came time to collect. Oddly, paying reparation isn't unheard of in this country. Most people know about the money the US Government paid to Japanese-American internment camp victims after World War II, but they have also paid sterilization victims from Americas Eugenics Era, victims of the Tuskegee experiment, and survivors of the Rosewood massacre. As it stands right now the US government is holding many awards for Native Americans from lawsuits over breach of treaty. One of the largest is valued now at 1.3 billion (based off of a 102 million award) to the Sioux Nation for the taking of land such as where Mount Rushmore was built. They refuse to accept it as it was never about money to them, it was about the land.
Ismael Garcia The Democratic party is on the verge of losing their most loyal voter base so now is the chance for the Republicans to get on board & pass a Reparations bill for the ADOS community. If the Republican party passed a Reparations bill they would have at least 36 million ADOS voters switching back to the party they started in. For you or anbody else who's interested go to ADOS101.com & take a look at their agenda. It's pretty detailed.

Nationality has nothing to do with intelligence and understanding of common issues. In addition, regarding racial oppression specifically, he would know first hand.
@UCSLe0S2017UN6_wn_V5oGJA
Trevor knows. South African apartheid was Jim Crow on steroids. Both systems are outlawed on paper only. Police brutality has been the hot topic for many months, so, naturally he will continue to address that issue on his show. Also, police brutality is most certainly a major issue in the black community. It goes back to slavery. That's why we refer to cops as race soldiers. They're commanded to deal with us in a totally different way. They seek to kill, entrap and incarcerate. I'm in my fifth decade. I grew up in a predominantly black working class neighborhood. Most dads were factory workers and most moms worked in retail/restaurants or low pay clerical jobs. My mom was home until the youngest of my siblings was about 8. We rarely called the police. Problems were handled within the neighborhood. If a man was abusing his wife and family, a few fathers including my own got together and that man would be gone never to return. Same for anyone bringing trouble, major or minor. This alleviated collateral damage as only the troublemakers were handled. Sounds like vigilantism. However, that was safer than police storming the wrong home killing innocent people, which happens all too often in our communities. You just hear of a handful that make the news. These incidents are too numerous to count. Why bother verifying that information is correct! All black folks are bad and their deaths would make this world better. That logic is ridiculous. I guess all the thieving, raping and murdering white folks are still worthy of life. Even when we separated ourselves and thrived, here come the jealous, murderous pale skins burning down those communities. For them to be comfortable and content, we must live in misery.
@AH M
Did you or TH-cam delete your last comment?
I've lived long enough to know that facts are twisted to fluff our opinions. Whether we admit to it or not, we've all done it and most of us will continue to do so. I do try to really listen to others and not negate another's experiences. At the same time, I won't allow anyone to minimize my own experience. I don't trust law enforcement, but I don't hate the system entirely despite the numerous flaws. I deal with people as individuals. I have high expectations for myself as well as others. When people fall short, I don't degrade them. However, I can't have them as intimate companions. My immediate family is very close. However, outside of family I have only 2 close friends. My parents taught us that you can have many acquaintances and those relationships are largely superficial. Friends are few and those are the people who share our secrets and love us despite our flaws. If you're stranded 3 hours from home and call an acquaintance, he or she will come get you only if it's convenient. A friend will stop everything and come. Even if it's the middle of the night, they'll strap their sleeping kids in the backseat and rush to get you. That's why I rarely associated with coworkers outside of work and never dated coworkers. It's easier to maintain a healthy business relationship when there are no personal dramas to reflect upon. I've seen office dynamics shift drastically when resentments from disagreements over politics and race or a bad breakup in their personal lives affect their working relationships.
the emancipation proclimation was passed on 1863. jim crow laws were passed on 1877. jim crow laws end on 1954. it's not just about slavery. there were still many attempts to hold black people back after 1863. people often refer to history but not the _affects_ of whatever history is being discussed.
groen charles 1964* but yeah pretty much
There are still many housing and zoning issues that are in place today that effectively segregate certain neighborhoods and school districts and affect black communities to this day.

Trevor is from SA and I believe there was a conversation about apartheid and how to progress after it happened. SA is trying to correct the wrongs it did to its black citizens. So Trevor definitely has an insight to this.
I love how composed he was when answering the question. That was amazing
He's from South Africa and this conversation has BEEN happening here for the longest time. We have something called Triple B.E.E. While it's not the same thing as in America, you can pull out many common grounds. So he's had a while to think and talk about where he stands on issues like this.

And he does it with respect to the person asking the question. He's so articulate, humble, and clear. Now if he could just wax poetic about the plague of misogyny, he would be truly enlightened....
This man just diffused an entire debate being firm, respectful and funny at the same time. Trevor Noah style is worth studying
He is international, have seen different places ... most Americans dont some call it ignorant I call unknowing. Almost every civilized nation in the world received an non-bias version of American history, so we are 'woke' on these matters. Trevor explained it very well. Its reparations not random free given money, its surprising its brought up just now in 2019. I bet ya people will be complaining even though they damn well know that its deserved. Americans need to drop that self centred attitude, they have been taught and travel some more. Travelling is learning at a high speed rate.

@@rephan5824 because you are giving preference to a race simply because they are that race and have certain ancestry, black people today are not victims
I don’t think he defused the debate. I thought he put out word salad. Reparations wouldn’t do anything productive for this country. Especially when we talk about what the reparations would be. Most people think those affected should be cut a check. Okay, here’s your check. That’s not going to lift anyone out of poverty or lift anyone out of the middle class. It’s also wild that African governments some of which who are still practicing slavery are completely exonerated for this debate.

@MAGA irrelevant to the comment and conversation
@MAGA You know in your heart of hearts that white privilege is real and what happened with Smollet has nothing to do with it. What burns me up is how Native Americans seem to rarely get included in the conversation, yet most all other races are right there. Why is that?
@MAGA I don't know where you live but where I live that is not the case. That is why they are called Native Americans. I think they are simply less vocal for some reason and need to speak up and be more included in the conversation. Believe me, there are lots of Native Americans here in our country.
@MAGA 100% irrelevant. Jussie is not representative of a systemic issue. In addition, literally irrelevant to the original comment your replying to. No one was talking about Jussie. This conversation was limited to this particular Behind the Scenes.
Also, I've never seen black people get away with anything in the manner that your speaking of. I think that's a chosen perspective.
Also Jussie is biracial, maybe this is his white privilege lol
@MAGA Actually, reverse racism is not real...and the charges were dropped because it turns out the corrupt Chicago PD were the liars as the FBI said...it would have got much much much worse for them if they took the case to trial...lots of fired cops and prosecutors would be the result...in any case, comments likes your shows that Jussie doesn't benefit from this but his name will be forever ruined because of the deception of the Chicago PD.

I'm black and I'm neither for our against reparations. In my opinion, all those things Trevor mentioned happened and more but that's that. Though I'll give him this, that was one of the shortest and most concise explanations for why a serious reparations discussions should had. Though to be honest black people might as well move along, because reparations will never happen. America, France and Britain will fall as other empires have and that will be the reparations.
honestly I feel like Trevor always has such a great way of breaking down each issue? like everyone always has their own opinions and facts, but Trevor presents his points in such a simple yet effective way
You know, in some countries Trevor would have to charge that guy for that history lesson... So nice that he did it free of charge.
I was just thinking the same

Lucky for him, in this country, his rich parents can buy and bribe his teachers to not teach and just pass him
I couldn't agree more. Its crazy how Trevor has that ability to change anyones mind. That or he has the ability to strike up fresh and healthy dialogue about a subject
Reparations would be almost impossible to prove who are the decendants of slaves. Considering more people of african decent have emigrated to the us rather than are the decendents of slaves, who would receive reparations? It is true that through jim crow laws and other racist institutions, the us has engaged in class warfare and has tried hard to keep people of color poor. By profiting off the poor, the rich have grown extremely wealthy and the gap continues to grow.

Repeating "I get it, I get it" isn't actually an argument against reparations for other disenfranchised groups. Just like he acknowledges that different crimes deserve different punishments, so should different types of disenfranchisement deserve different types of reparations. Indentured servants might have been able to "work towards their freedom" in theory, but in practice, most lived and died as slaves in all but name.
I am a super liberal and a raging anti-racist, but I'm so over our side competing for the Most Oppressed Trophy while the other side is literally in power and undoing everything we've fought for.
I am absolutely astonished at how much wisdom I just witnessed in a 4 minute span of time. They should let him do this for hours a week.
He handled a sensitive question in the most constructive way possible. He never once said the person was wrong and even managed to validate his opinion while simultaneously explaining why it shouldn't be part of this specific conversation. He stayed purely grounded in history and facts while at the same time being down to earth and connecting to average, underprivileged citizens (of all colors). If every political conversation were handled like this we would be living in a utopia right now.
I find it so fascinating that a person who doesn’t live in this country has the brains, guts, and perspective to explain one of America’s long-term debates without politicizing every word.
He is knowledgeable
He's South African where apartheid, actual race wars, and wealth inequality is worst than what it was for America.
Josh Tep i know, I just finding amazing that he can explain these topics in a way that doesn’t separate us more or point unnecessary fingers at anyone.
Trevor Noah does live here, he has just learned so much about this country and applies his experience from being from South Africa in conjunction with listening to many people here. But make no mistake he lives here and he seems to have a vested interest in understanding this country.
Trevor presents knowledge and facts in such a civilized manner. Politeness invites conversations/debates instead of arguments and rehearsed rhetoric. He is very KIND in his approach to conversations with folks who want to honestly SHARE views. He is subtly a great "convincer".
agreed! someone mentioned in a comment earlier how nelson mandela spoke to south africa in a similar way during apartheid ...i wish i could find it, but i'm going to look at some of mandela's speeches : )
Damn that was a history truth hammer smaking down hard.
His examples were perfect and good to understand a very complex topic. His explenation should be used in schools.
How many excuses are you going to make for black people Trevor? Indians and Chinese people are the most educated demographic in the US, they were colonized and discriminated against, they moved forward, why haven't black communities?
Firstly, neither of those demographics in the US suffered as much as Black people. From all the ethnic backgrounds, Africans were the most exploited, and I'm South Asian myself. it's funny how people love to play this game, whereby they compare other people without an ounce of compassion. Secondly, the Subcontinent & Far East Asian communities in the US are mostly made of people that had the opportunity to migrate, which is different to descendants of a generation of slaves like the African American community. There's a major setback that people like you seem to conveniently ignore, I'm guessing you're uncomfortable with the brutal truth.

Trevor Noah is so before his time and definitely needed in America. Even if you don't like his views you respect the fact that he can state the facts and stick to them with concrete reasoning. He is more than willing to hear the other side even if they want to shut their ears off to hearing what he says.
*ahead
Because white supmracy would never allow a home grown black man to explain it.. hence foreign actors playing American roles who have no connections to the United States from the ground up saying nothing on things happening in the United States.
Trevor has the wisdom of someone far older than he is. I have to remind myself that he is the age he is. I think this needs to be shown repeatedly because many people seem unable to grasp what this is even all about.
The Adrenalized Artist is called reading and research. That it
Peter Smith I disagree. I think Trevor’s wisdom was earned the hard way, first hand. It came with the struggles he went through growing up poor and “colored” (didn’t fit in with blacks or whites) at the end of (and right after) Apartheid. Hard lives create hard men. Wise men. And his life experience is especially relevant when it comes to the topic of injustices wrought upon black people. Albeit in another country.

Yes but he wouldn't get paid.

Not Africans immagrants or carreibeans. Not other "minorities" specifically just us . He understands that there is a difference in the 2. Me personally, I don't think reparations will happen (America ain't having dat) but for the convo to be just us And America is the straight truth.
Unfortunately quantifying reparations would be an extremely difficult thing to do in this particular case. Each individual person who was put into slavery may have suffered differently, How do you take into account what people suffered by being forcefully relocated, tortured, some raped, forced to work in poor conditions, even killed the list goes on. Giving their current blood relative some sort of compensation may help considerably but wont change the past nor make up for it. The other thing is once they do one another will be bought forward I guess I can say Native Indians as another case to consider. The door will be blown wide open so US Government may be discouraged from doing one in the first place.
@@salmakhalid4387 I agree with you but at the same time i do think reparations need to be done. Not in a form of a check to every black person; as that's just not clearly feasible or practical anyways. Reparations could be solved with helping to build the black community across the board though.
@@kierah6087 I am all for it, they can start by treating them better by reducing stereotypes, although have equal rights treatment is still not consistent.

Salma Khalid "Steortypes" exist because people allow them to exist by playing into them; this has nothing to with reparations nor do I think will ever go anywhere. It makes me wonder if it will ever happen because this has been talked about for a very long time and then it goes slight after awhile. We shall see how it is this time....
Salma Khalid thing is, “the Native American case” as you so put it has already been handled via reservations, free college, and virtual sovereignty over their lands. Whether or not things were handled well is another question, but regardless Native American people were at least partially compensated for the traumas their ancestors went through. The descendants of slaves got NOTHING, save for an official apology 246 years after the emancipation proclamation. Mind you Japanese American victims of the internment camps were apologized to and received reparations within 40 years of WW2.
Why are the plights of other groups ALWAYS brought up when it comes to reparations?
You nailed my brother, you are one of the few people we have put there who are not afraid of the pure truth, you say it like it is and I respect you for that, you make me proud to be an African. Big ups Trevor.
The question was an honest one, and I appreciate that Trevor answered it respectfully without mocking the person asking.
While the question may have been honest, it's interesting that he came across that particular knowledge to the exclusion of why Black people need it more.
He's South African...i can mock that idiot by asking him how would he like to travel to Hawaii? A row boat to get him there in 2 weeks or a raft that will never make it?

American gov- meet the Black people. Excellent way to explain. Thanks Treavor
@BLAIR M Schirmer If being wrongly labeled as having privilege is causing you to fear the police, fear for the safety of your children, worry that when you go to the Dr. You will be abused or worse neglected, caused you not to inherit Any of the labor of 400 yrs of the work of your ancestors and makes you get a sick feeling of doom in the pit of your stomach when you see a white police officer staring at your son with pure hatred in his eyes, if the privilege label has robbed you and your family of dignity, and wealth. If the privilege label has incarcerated and criminalized most of your community and loved ones, if you can equate that "label" with all of these atrocities well then by all means, I beg your pardon and you have my sympathy because clearly I don't have yours. Good Day to you.
