Kerona bana, Hi America!!!!!

*Your* South Africans?
That makes me want more audiobooks from Trevor. He's such a good storyteller, especially when it comes to his native country
Роман Хакимов
Just keep in mind he's only telling you one side of the story
I’m guessing you have some other way which you think events played out Janco van der Westhuizen
Tham Ndlovu All I'm saying is that people are getting a very one sided view, and there's always more than one side from which to look at history
Janco van der Westhuizen, you think a Russian (or any Slav really) wouldn't know that? Heck, most of our recent history is based on misunderstanding, bias and propaganda coming from all sides.
Janco van der Westhuizen then tell us the other side of the story...am sure his part is done we await your part of the story.
Trevor, thank you for all the ways you use your platform to educate others and to try to broaden our perspectives.
Melissa Irwin 😂
The Scarlet bit hahhaha
The sad part is all this Mandela movies do not even have one single African person playing the part

"Ignorant brings chaos, not knowledge" Trevor wit and his intelligence is remarkable.
I'm sure that Mr Mandela would have loved this. He had such a wonderful sense of humour and always appeared to be happy to take the micky out of himself. I genuinely reckon that Trevor would have had a top man as a fan! :-D
Fact
The gluten joke was amazing
Trevor's jokes bring healing
When Scarlett came on screen I died 🤣
My husband has lived there most of his life. I’ve lived in Richardsbay for four years, miss it terribly!
Partly, "Rholihlahla" means "troublemaker" which is why Ms Mdingane asked for a Christian name. But, one the other hand, we Africans had to have a pronounceable name by whites. I don't understand how Trevor mispronounced the name. It's "Rh" pronounced with a throaty phonetic "ch" for Achmed in Arabic, not "R". And I say this because I'm Mpondo and Xhosa speaking, Trevor is half-Xhosa too but grew up speaking IsiZulu in Soweto. But his nana was Xhosa, so I don't know why.
It is originally Ahmad. That's an arabic name. Achmed is a foreign pronunciation- turks/russians etc.
I'm sorry' how many Mandelas have we had from Hollywood?
Thanks Mr Trevor Noah..This platform educates
This is informative and Enlightening!
"She said no i don't want that one" haha...

Woooow
Nobody Should Ever Call Him Nelson, Welcome Rolihlahla Mandela
Mad-Cyantist he was proud of his name. But if you want to be more endearing, call him Madiba.
I doubt he did, since that was not his real name, acting title
He literally referred to himself as Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.
....& that confirms that he is proud of it, not that he just uses because that's now the Norm...?
& y is this even an argument, can you not say it or something?
I'm literally South African, and everyone refers to him as Nelson, as did he. Who are you to tell US what he wants to be refered by? I call him Nelson Mandela, as does everyone at in South Africa, yet we all know and can pronounce Rolihlahla. We don't use all three names because that's obviously unnecessary. There's no problem in calling him Rolihlahla only, but that's not what the man himself did, and you're in no authority to tell anyone else to.
I learned that since grade 2 I'm in grade 5 now
2:25 😂😂😂
Don't lose your ecsent ntwana 😜😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣vele👊
He tells this story in his autobiography and he also tells us Rolihlahla means 'Troublemaker'.
That's what happen in most Asia countries, teachers just give you a English name so that they can call you
As a number of previous contributors have already pointed out, Nelson Mandela's Xhosa name, Rolihlahla, means "Troublemaker". Well, they certainly got that right... just ask the National Party governments he campaigned against!
😂 😂 😂 😂 Trevor
trevooooorrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!
Woow this is A knowledge
03:54 that sounds like Shaq Oneal😂
Hilarious!!!!😂😂
who else thought of that my name is kunta kinte scene from roots
Trevor tell them baby son. I am not South African but I lived there for some 20yrs. Back when black non South African were called " Kwele kwele". Go on son represent all of us. May the mighty lord bless you.
Oh Trevor😂😂😂
U kinda look like a young Nelson from the photo. Maybe u should consider playing him as well. U already hv a lockdown on the accent.
I was thinking the same thing.
Trevor has a lockdown on every accent. He could have been the "blake painter"
And the language... honestly it's not like Madiba spent so much time speaking English...Its kinda annoying actually...
Hes too light skinned
Proudly South African! And i can finally say his name😊
Caitlin Rose what were you doing in primary school during social science?😁
@@elvisishakmboni4333 i struggled OK😂😂😂
Haibo Trevor, since when could you not pronounce Rolihlahla?
Vuyo Ludidi You know! I was wondering?
Heee ndothuka lo nto vha 😂😂😂 unezimanga uTrevor ndikuxelele!
usile yaz lo trevor nxa, udinga isiko .
A part of me thinks sometimes he is trying too hard to impress the Americans or ukubabonelela !!
His first language is English, not Xhosa. My guess is he's far more proficient in German than he is in Xhosa!
Nice one Noah
"...like non-gluten people controlling all of our menus" is similar to anybody messing with almost everything, tbh.
1:59
I choked on my gluten-free fries there 😂
a point of correction Trevor ..... obama's first big speech was in Kenya Kogelo a day before mandela's birthday
Madiba!!!
Jeremy 😂😂😂
Ehehehehe "it doesn't go well with the narrative"...
Trevaar you are funny bro!
"They got me too" 😂😂😂
Lets talk about Eskom, and how they have spent 20 billion on irregular expenses, and that's why we have load shredding and that why the fees keep escalating making it unaffordable for the poor to afford.
This is not random at all😑
I love Trevor lol
Rholihlahla in my home language isixhosa his manhood name Dalibhunga both names has a deep meaning in isixhosa
What meaning ?
Rholihlahla is pronounced like you're guggling with salt water.. rhrhrhrhrhrhrh not roll as in rolling a Swiss roll....
"no your name is Jeremy now" - "aaaaah!" 😂
Molaemora no
Emoorala

I must admit that name is very hard to pronounce and I am African
Why
Trevor something that you forgot to tell the Americans is that the Miss Mdingane who changed Mandela's name was a black teacher, so it was not the "oppressive whites" who did that.
She was a black teacher operating under apartheid rules. It was systemic. So there is little difference.
The effect
Like in rugby we can see that the black people really make a huge impact
Trevor his parents died when he was young he went to live with his uncle and he was the only person to go to school in his family
You realise he was making a joke right?
Not true
Not his uncle
U can't even get your friends into ur birthday party and u alive🤣😂🤣😂😅
Where can I find Scarlet as Mandela?
Lol Trevor for half Xhosa guy, it's not pronounce with an R
The way Mandela Prounces his "real" name sounds like "rokho lilah" which sounds VERY familiar to the Arabic "Rooh ULL illah" , which translates to "Soul of the God"..
Ali-M rather pronounce it as "Holly-hla-hla" even though Holly is pronounced as you would pronounce Van "G"aal, in the netherlands
Haybo guys, uTrevor can't say Rholihlahla now? Hamba America 🤷🏽♀️
He even say Mandhela instead of Mandela😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Bo Trevor morena😂😂😂
Profound
Trevor you are the reason why I love America...and you are not even American....
That's deep
'Rolihlahla' but mara Mr Trevor Noah🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Sad to say that still happens in African countries. You can't baptize your child if they don't have a Christian name. My theory is, what does a name have to do with anything. I could be more holy than someone my age that calls them self Jesus, or Mohammed. Its ridiculous I think. This is why I applaud Nigerians... They'll have 20 names and none of them Christian or white.
Nigerians?!! Am yet to meet one without an English name!
thabuneni26nxaa .... Really? The ones av come across all have traditional names. Also the ones with English names, come to find out, they've just cut their traditional names short
The English name you know is most likely a shortened version of the traditional name. Eg. Lara (short version) Oluwalarasheyo (long traditional version)
thabuneni26nxaa our names have serious length. Like I'm the only one in my house that first name got shortened 5 times because even my set mates who are from the same tribe as me couldnt handle it.
Mohammed is a Muslim name. However, as a Muslim, I don't see an issue with calling anyone a name that isn't necessarily from a religion itself. Islam doesn't require you to change your name ❤
I remember watching news footage from South Africa, with police thrashing protestors with sjambok (rhino-hide) whips, and the rows over the sport/cultural boycott of the apartheid regime.
SA is not perfect now, but the relief when that system ended was palpable.
I even got to see Mandela speak in Trafalgar Square, even if he wasn't really called Nelson! :-)
Rest In Peace My Hero Madiba
His father died before he was in elementary he lived with his Uncle
*_roa lee laah laa_* easy !
"There are 2 Nelson Mandelas, the first is played by every black actor in Hollywood". I thought I was the only one that was wondering why🤔
Eveh Ogban their excuse was Mandela was tall and most SA male actors aren’t as tall as him 😂
@@annabambamjerky No, famous American actors bring in more audience. It's about the Benjamin.
Well, actually what Trevor said is only partially true. It is true, that giving the black people "christian names" was also because they didnt know how to pronounce the african words, but there's also a deeper meaning to it. Slaves were baptized and given another name too. Because, remember, the slavery apologetics was that they were saving the black people, so, by giving them a christian name, and teaching them how to be christian, they were actually saving them from going to eternal damnation, and, of course, they needed to atone of their sins of their blood and skin by being slaves. The whole "christian name" has layers of opression that are too far and wide to even say in this one CZcams comment.
Well my country is predominantly Christian since the late middle ages, but it was still customary to gain a christian name when being baptised like 80 years ago. Nothing to do with oppression, just a weird tradition, probably rooted in the Bible where some followers of Jesus were given new names.
Of course it can be used as a form of oppression, but I don't think the idea itself is purely oppressive.
Except that Trevor comes from a country where slavery ended officially over a century ago and the practice of renaming black people with English names was pretty much entirely, as he says, a racially driven piece of power politics. Supported in cases by churches but as a power dynamic rather than a soul-saving one.
It seems you are confusing etymology and meaning.
No, I am not. I know that, today, "denigrate" is a synonym of "belittle" and when people say "You are denigrating someone" it doesn't mean " You are turning that person black ", but the root of this word is pretty telling about the colonial past. I'm not saying "ban the word denigrate". Denigrate is a sympton, not the cause. You can make a case for people to stop saying the world "denigrate" and explain the history behind the word, yes, but that's beyond the point.
Eros Viana This was merely another element of deracination. The so called Christian names have almost nothing to do with Christianity. They are European names. The whole point was to divorce Africa people form their identities and to create identity confusion which then made them easier to manipulate. This is why we see so many Africans running around with ridiculous be names like Good luck Johnathan and Goodwill etc and rejecting beautiful b nsmes like Ngozi and Nneka.
I CACKLED when they showed Scarlett Johanson
😂😂😂from Rolihlahla n come back a Nelson 😭☝🔥😂
They got me too looool
And Trump tried to reach Nelson Mandela to congratulate him on his 100th birthday LOL
Mandela is a boss to still be given birthday parties even after he’s dead.
mandela over Jordan anyday
I can't see the comments
Basically the name changing policy is part of colonialisations conformity policy.
Yup, same in Botswana... We pretty much all got 2 first names there
I call him Dalibhunga by his royal name bcoz to abaThembu uMandela yinkosi(translate for them trevoh) NguDalibhunga Umadiba omde uzondwa zintshaba zingazumenzanto uhala umthikrakra uDlomo umthembu (trevoh translate lol)
