About The Daily Show:
Trevor Noah and The Daily Show correspondents tackle the biggest stories in news, politics and pop culture.
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.
"There's something liberating about fighting an obvious enemy as opposed to one you have to prove exists." - no one could have said it better.
100%
entirely agree, because when you call these people out on their racism they can claim semantics and accuse you of misinterpreting even though you are correct,
Sure
Trevor knocked that question out of the park!
Our man Mr Noah as ever on point.
I want a show called "Trevor Noah Answers" and all he does is answer questions from a random audience. Poignant, funny, and witty. I love it!
I am seconding this!
Sounds like a great segment idea.
Let’s put enough likes on this such that they can consider it.
Um yes!
👊🏽 I challenge everyone to blow up Trevor's DMs with questions on every social media possible...that way he give up & start his own CZcams just so he could address 'em all 🤪
Just KIDDIN' DON'T DO THAT...Trevor needs to take a real family time vacation a s.a.p 🥰
"there''s something liberating about fighting an obvious enemy as opposed to the one that you have to prove exists"
it's always how trevor words it for me. so concise and on point.
Delectably so.
Wokeism inverted racism so now we're in a real jam because even when we prove it exists, they prove the opposite is also true and now we're stuck.
Yeah that one really stuck with me!
So when individuals have come out ‘proving’ election fraud was committed- it was deemed conspiracy & lies...
But when individuals have to ‘prove’ racism exists in America - it’s deemed ‘concise ’...
🤔
@@KSealedvsK The difference being, of course, that the entire election fraud debacle *IS* a conspiracy.
There’s never been a more intelligent comedian.
Watch The White House Correspomdemce Dinner and tell me otherwise!
Quite a few comedians that are more intelligent than Trevor. Most of them don’t have a staged show with a bunch of writers. You should broaden your horizons.
@@jsi5684 I mean I get your point but what do the shows writers have to do with going unscripted & answering random questions from the audience??
Cuz that’s what this video is…
Trevors definitely up there but Carlin for sure
I would probably throw Dave in the mix. I'm not disagreeing with you...it's more of a "debate comment"
Fentse thanks for this 🙏🏾
I’m American living in Johannesburg and have tried to explain this difference to my SA friends. I tell them that SA actively engages in the topic while America pretends it doesn’t exist. It’s like someone with skin cancer putting on a hat and saying, “All better now.”
Ik! It's so irritating
America pretends like it doesn't exist how? people on every mainstream media are literally talking about racism all the time,it is everywhere from video game,to sports,to medicine to science it is literally all over the place, like seriously this Trevor guys talks about it every day and every chance he gets,to say America pretends like racism doesn't exist is an extremely delusional statement and I say this as a black person.
@@tobiisiba1641 well we don't have a national conversation like South Africa did.
@@donovanlocust1106 what!!!! Pls paint a picture of what a national conversation is like.
@@tobiisiba1641 well you know. Having the government address the past for racism and all that stuff.
You got to love Trevor because he answers questions in such an elegant way and doesn't shy away from any questions being asked.
Cuz he's got the answer to every question.
I’m in awe always with him he’s phenomenal
@@bereket5662 idk if you being sarcastic but I’m going to say YES he does
Why do we assume that only white people can be racist and only non whites can suffer from it .
Yup, that was a great answer.
And this is why I love teachers. They don't need to ask the question straight up seriously they can come at you in all sorts of different directions just by the tone or phrasing. Big up Katrina for that amazingly well asked question
💪🏿
And kudos to Trevor for recognizing the contrast between the question and the tone! I wouldn't recognize how light is the tone. Trevor has sharp ears!
Don't praise all teachers. A lot of them do a lot of damage.
@@felixmidas3245 Agree. But this one deserves the praise.
@@felixmidas3245 what?
As a native American my bouts with racism are as Trevor pointed out, cloaked. Loved his answer to the differences between racism in two different nations. Much respect to Mr. Noah :)
Must be fun having to defend against people saying you get ALL that money from the casinos.
Cloaked? So you mean youve encountered democrats? Because they think you are too dumb to achieve on your own so you need “help.”
Very similar in Anglo countries!!!
@@chocoberrymuffin3392 , I've traveled a bit (30 nations) and can't speak for most of the wonderful peoples abroad. But when I leave the U.S. I am met with respect and kindness and do my best to be so to them as well. With a special nod to the Kindness I found in Iceland... the Icelandic Peoples were just so friendly and accepting. But then again when I travel I am a novelty, where in the U.S. more seen as a burden. Health and Peace to you Chocoberry Muffin :)
South African racism has become much the same as American is now.
As an Asian American, I can attest to this. It is very sneaky.
One example. I once dated a w girl who worked in Papa John's in a middle state (Midwest). Her associates looked down on her and made a fool of her by saying, "You know she likes Asians, you guys. Wink wink." "That's why she likes small." Etc etc. When she snapped, they were like, "Oh we were just kidding chill out," shamelessly turning it on her! She was very stressed. They were nice when I saw them.
Not just one or two but every w guy.
There is this peer pressure. Whisper attacks, verbal attacks, physical attacks, condescending attacks. Glass ceilings.
Same, I feel like everyone is really passive aggressive towards me but if I call it out they will say I'm too sensitive.
Hope it gets better for you and all those who face racism, subtle or not
What state ??? Illinois or minnesota
@@izenhow4775 It was in Ohio.
Yeah that's how the white men keeps white women to themselves. Punish her in a variety of seen and unseen ways for dating outside of the race. Glad you found you're white woman, but they are not for me at all. Tried of thr discrimination my G.
It's like the difference between emotional and physical abuse. If your parents beat you up it is clear cut. If they undermine you through behavior and gaslight you it is harder to identify. They are both horrible and leave long lasting scars, but bruises are harder to deny.
I’m a South African living in USA 24 years - Trevor nailed it!!
No you’re American now of South African origin. Can’t be out of any country for quarter a century and still claim to just be living there…no you’re American born in SA
@@thandisilec835 I mean there are American soldiers who have been stationed overseas for decades, are they no longer American? It's just a very curious way you worded that.
@@thandisilec835 i like your comment. I am born in France but lived 10 years in the UK and 8 years in the Netherlands. You never fully integrated. You never really belong. You assimilate a lot. It's like cooking. You keeps adding new ingredients to make a new dish.
Creatively done all sadly true lol
@@danielgehring7437 no SAn is stationed militarily in US. The person emigrated and that’s fine. They can’t be SAns forever, at some point you become your base. Sure you are of SA heritage and might have family here but a quarter of a century and you still claiming something you barely are. Worse if you arrived there as a child…not saying I know how old this person is but I doubt it’s military nor they lived in SA longer than what they’ve permanently lived in US for
There is nothing more disconcerting, infuriating and disorienting then experiencing blatantly racist acts, and then getting gaslit by sections of the right wing print, electronic and social media essentially trolling you insinuating that you are imagining/ misinterpreting/exaggerating/overstating/overreacting/or oversimplifying what you can CLEARLY see happening.
Rihanna kno they trying to wipe out my bloodline in America Rihanna's pregnancy is a ritual to Satan
Racism is a crime in South Africa and can be punishable by jail time or a fine
Except both the right and the left are racists if you believe different, you’re either ignorant, or you’re brainwashed, full stop.
The left is more racist
No one pushes identity politics and segregation more than the woke SJWs
@@akhisunjeya9935 That's because it was very obvious and the people attacked it head on
Such a poignant answer from Trevor yet again. As a South African living in cape town. It was no mystery why my front door neighbours never greeted me when I moved into my new apartment. The only thing they knew about me when I moved in was that I'm black. They don't make eye contact they don't acknowledge my existence. On easter Sunday I was coming back from the gym and they were heading out to church and all 5 of them walked past me as if no one was passing them in the corridor. I am a minority in my own country simply because I have worked to earn enough to live in areas that have been and continue to be white-dominated.
Try greeting them instead..
Maybe the problem is you. Why didn't you greet them? Or do you not like white people?
Say hallo see what happens
@@KabeloTlhapi Bro they ignore you when you greet them. That's what he said.
@@patrickbuchler686 you spell 'hallo' like a German🤣😂😁😄
Bist du Deutscher?
of is jy Duits of Duitse Afrikaner.
Thanks for sharing this insight, Trevor!
I'm a white American guy and my fiancé is a black South African woman. I'm moving to South Africa for the wedding next week, and we've been having these kinds of conversations a lot lately about privilege, racism, and the different forms they take in our countries. This is really helpful for both of us.
And thanks for talking about it in a way that makes us laugh when we might otherwise shut down.
Why are you moving to South MummyAfrica🤣?
What ethnicity are they or what's a family member of their's surname.
I ask because there are massive differences between different ethnicities.
@st Louis IX ... he said she's black . Learn to read carefully
Welcome to SA 🇿🇦 'sbari' (brother-in- law) 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.
Congratulations to both of you. You are our Sbari now 'brother in law'. Wishing you the best of life & all!🇿🇦✊
@@stlouisix3 Troll.
That ‘ahaa’ expression was the African side of Trevor 😂🤣🤣
Racism in south africa? the country is very homogeneous 80.7% of the population are blac LOL
This is why Trevor Noah deserves to be The Daily Show host. Even in an off the show moment, he shows such an incredible humour and depth in his answer deserves praise.
PS: I was one of those people who doubted his capabilities when to took charge of the show after Jon Stewart but it took me many years to realise his potential.
Aye man us south Africans were wondering about it too 😂 this man just did comedy specials for us. Eventually they grew bigger but this. Host on Daily show!? He is inspiration that maybe we too can do big things! (Side note Elon also from here 😆)
Trevor Noah for President!

@@piusdoe8984 Bro...you guys gave the world Charlize Theron. What could have been better than that alone... : )
@@9876karthi South Africa is one of the leading nations that produce the most actors and actresses with an African origin in Hollywood. There are so many South African actors in Hollywood scenes giving the country international recognition. As such, South Africa is the home to some of world renowned celebrities
Malcolm X was quoted as saying... (as close as I can remember)
"I have far more respect for one that makes their opinion known
even if it's contrary to mine, than to have one pretend to be on my side
only for me to find out later that they couldn't be counted on." At times,
our country reminds me of a child...making promises with their fingers
secretly crossed.
It's not about what America says. It's about what America Does.
I recall reading in his autobiography how he actually found Southern Whites to be preferable and more tolerable to Northern Whites, since Southern Whites were at least honest about their racism.
one of the most important lessons I learned, I learned from a coach. He said, don't look at the player, don't listen to the player - watch what they DO, that's the truth.
@@tomroberts2135 If this is your strategy for life - what an amazing journey you are on. Regards.
@@DinoJake it’s how I feel about republicans vs democrats. I prefer all these republicans showing the world their bigotry. I can’t stand the fake liberals that use the issue of racism, homophobia etc., as a vehicle to get their political wins without actually addressing the issue.
The actual quote from Malcolm X: “I have more respect for a man who lets me who he really is even if he’s wrong than the one who walks up like an angel but he’s nothing but a devil”
As a South African living in America I totally understand what he's saying. Its difficult to explain to my American friends
Rihanna kno they trying to wipe out my bloodline in America Rihanna's pregnancy is a ritual to Satan
NO, most of us KNOW exactly what Trevor is talking about, well, at least the elders & conscious Negros know ❗♥️🖤💚
No, it's not I understand wholeheartedly what Trevor is saying.
Take me with you tlhem😭😭
Trevor explained it perfectly. It's not that difficult to understand, we get the idea of blatant vs covert racism.
WHEN IT COMES TO RACISM IN AMERICA, THIS IS THE QUOTE THAT ALWAYS COMES TO MIND FOR ME, IT IS
"THE GREATEST TRICK THE DEVIL EVER PULLED WAS TO CONVINCE THE WORLD HE DIDN'T EXIST"
Racism in south africa? the country is very homogeneous 80.7% of the population are blac LOL
Geez, the way Trevor can handle the darkest most serious topics while still doing comedy is something else
"Privilege isn’t perks you get. Privilege is a lack of obstacles. That’s why privilege is invisible to those who are in it."
I take it white privilege is not invisible to white S.Africans. Here in the states I know I have white privilege only because I'm both curious about racism and I listen to non-white friends, aquaintences and colleagues when they air their grievances about being treated so differently in public, at work, getting pulled over when they drive. And this is a country were I'm told white privilege is a lie.
Thank you. Wish there were more like you.
@@thembiskosana3910 An image from Buddhism stayed with me for many years, the two wings of a bird: Compassion and Reason, or Love and Wisdom, both in equal measure.
Well it would take more than 100 years for privilege to be subtle for SA whites.
Thanks for calling it like it is! Much appreciated 🙂
Thanks for choosing to be enlightened and questioning what socialisation may otherwise teach you not to question. Best regards from Kenya.
.... nothing makes me more frustrated than getting called racist for pointing out racism.... Yes here in America
Yup, gaslighting at its finest
Or "you sound racist for pointing out [racist thing]" like you're an arsonist for noticing the building's on fire
@@busterofcoviddeniers ... Racism against white people ? Do you mean ....reverse racism ?
Um.... it is very different from racism. Sometimes, White people have to prove they can be part of a circle .... that's what happens when oppress people for 400 years
That’s cuz you probably only call it out when it comes from whitey. I bet you’re silent when it comes to any other race
I am 74 years old. I grew up in Jim Crow in Texas. And raised my children in the North. I always felt that dealing with the South's racism was easier -- for the reasons you articulated. - I think my kids and grandkids have a more difficult time
Why was the racism in the South easier? Isn't it much worse than the North?
@@redrocket604 it was more blatant back then
@@redrocket604 First the racism in the north is just as pervasive. And sometimes just as overt. For instance, My mother died in a ward for black women in Pennsylvania in 1957. It is easier to deal with overt racism then racism based on biases and stereotypes. mostly because people in the north don't believe that is racism. So you had an added burden convincing northern that their behavior was racist.
I worked for Dallas County. I am too young to remember much of the 60s, but in our granite courthouse walls there is still engraved "whites" and "colored" at the water fountains. Literally carved in stone - that is pretty blatant. There used to be a plastic sign hiding the engravings, now there is a commemorative sign pointing it out as a lesson.
@@redrocket604 🤔 Because it's easier to deal with in-your-face racism than behind-your-back racism. It's easier to get out of the way of a car coming towards you than one coming at you from behind. Didn’t you get Trevor's explanation?
I love how Trevor has conversations with his audience. It's like he knows he is speaking to a country that doesn't know how to communicate properly and he is engaging accordingly.
Yes👏👏👏👏
When someone prefers the racism of his home country to that of the "Land of the free", you gotta start asking yourself "How did we get to this"?
And not just any garden variety racism, but ACTUAL APARTHEID
Amber Ruffin can answer that question.
LoL 🙂 America is NOT and was never free. That's a Myth. 😐
Honestly, I would love to see a whole show that was just Trevor answering questions, no scripts, no preparation, just Trevor off the top of his head.
100% agree. Trevor is a genius and kudos to his mother for raising such a philosophical decent man!
Lol such show can never exist,the whole thing is scripted.
"There's something liberating about fighting an obvious enemy as opposed to one you have to prove exists." - excellent analogy. TN always gives brilliant answers.
He is right. There are people up to this day denying racism exists. Others will go as far as white people being discriminated. It’s insane
I mean, great observations.. but Apartheid is over. His analogy doesn't hold anymore. Things have changed. It's still out in the open but totally revered. And are we really calling an entire race "the enemy"? How would that be okay if someone from another race said that about Africans, for example? They'd be cancelled and in jail lol. How's his analogy going to solve things and make people like each other and move forward? Trevor is not making things progress. He's justifying revenge.
@@SkyeAten nonsense!
@@SkyeAten I take it you missed the whole point (because all you are trying to do is justify injustice)
Trevor is also a teacher, which doesn't mean his job but way before that in comedy and when he showed up as a guest on gameshows, he's always explaining things, in a fun way too. He's got that teaching gene.
That accent when Trevor says "If you are black you cannot live in this area... 😄😄😄😄😄
South Africans know 🇿🇦😂😂😂
yeah is true 😂😂😂
crazy
Afrikaaner accent
😂😂😂😂😂
Trevor nailed the apartheid Afrikaaner accent 😂😂😂 and the analogy is spot on 👌
Bro🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s from there, you’d think he would
@@kissit012 I'm also south African
Racism in south africa? the country is very homogeneous 80.7% of the population are blac LOL
@@Saiputera Do you have a comprehension problem?
As a South African who's never been to the USA, the explanation on the South African side is on point. He says it jokingly but it's 💯 true!..
And as an American who's never been to SA, his explanation of the US side is on point. So between the two of us, we can confirm, Trevor's a frickin' genius.
Why do we assume that only white people can be racist and only non whites can suffer from it .
Plus the systemic racism is false:purely hyperbolic
Thank you !
Trevor Noah = definition of INTELLIGENCE! period.
I valid 💯/💯
He would be to anyone as dumb as a bowl of turnip
He is a racist.
I feel like "clever" encapsulates him perfectly.
he is both smart, and snarky.
That's a low bar
only trevor can roast AND complement the same person without being disrespectful 🤣 im excited to see your live show!
That part!
Hey Trevor Is Not Been The Host.. The reason I watch and am A true Fan of this show.... Trevor Is So Connected To The Universe.... One Of Those stars.. Right up with Chappelle in Knowledge wisdom and is so so funny because its not personal
My bad.... I'm meant to say Trevor has not been the host all this time by coincides .... He is a future HOF
I like that while this is true.. I bet you don’t see how insensitive and racist this comment is to other black comedians and host. You’re proving his point.
@@jayrobram55 👍
I'd rather blatant racism than subtle. I want to be clear on who my enemy is. This has been my perspective for years.
The problem with wanting blatant racism is that it can get a lot worse. Blatant racism isn't just someone telling you "I don't like your race" or saying the N- word. If it was, I would take blatant racism all day everyday. Blatant racism can get to scary places. In WW2, there was a lot of blatant racism. A whole group of people were being exterminated in gas chambers. In USA, before 1960, blatant racism was terrible for black people. Black people were lynched, forced into slavery, and oppressed beyond belief. The only thing keeping America from going back to the old times is a desire to belief we are all equal and we all are humans. Many people want to believe that but in a hyper competitive capatilistic society you would take any advantage you can to get to where you want to be. If America has an economic depression, you are going to see way more instances of blatant racism.
EXACTLY.......
💯
I ❤️ your past explanation. South Africa addressed the issue (racism), where the USA had a war but never really addressed it . That’s why 150 years later were still trying to fix obvious racist problems.
There still is racism in South Africa, though.
Love how Trevor always gases up everyone. It makes his show fun and inclusive feeling compared to a lot of other commentators. Most center around making fun of or disparaging others who don’t have the same view, instead Trevor has a way of inviting conversation to understand another view better.
What Trevor said is something that has been on my mind for a while now! Here in Brazil we never had an apartheid or even an official segregation after slavery was abolished, so to most people here there's no racism here at all, which is obviously untrue. It is just so much more hidden due to miscegenation. This also means the black community is much less united here, so there's no such thing as politicians courting the "black vote" and as such black issues tend to be ignored in politics even more than in the US.
Well articulated and makes sense!
I dont know how it is in Brazil but here in the US, race baiters love to keep wounds open.'
Lots of us are openly negating the cries of racism .
White on black racism here is such a scarce commodity, it has to be kept alive through lies, hoaxes and people like TN constantly highlighting what...it...might..be.
We actually get along fine except for the situations of whites who are now increasingly victims of black on white racism.And the incessant accusations of white supremacy.
Pushed , quite a bit by , light skinned and biracial folks.
Race wars are the goal of some very bad people.
We are actively working AGAINST that scenario.
@@stephj9378 No, it is not. I lived in the US. Racism is very, very much alive there. White supremacism is on the rise, or at least much more openly displayed. As a Latin American, I felt it myself. You're so wrong it is not even funny. You should seriously leave your bubble and your echo chamber and see what minorities have to say for themselves.
@@jorgeluz9560
i know what some are saying.And i know what i see, hear and experience.
I am the last person anyone could describe as living in a bubble.
There is something to be said for the victim 'mindset' where every conflict is slapped with the label, racism.
I have had countless verbal interchanges with blacks where they accused someone of racism when the issue was a simple human conflict.or something negative they brought on themselves.
White supremacy is mostly a figment of people's imagination, spurred on by race baiters for the coming race wars they HOPE we have.
No matter how much people yell about white supremacy, there are NO statistics to back it up.
As i said, mostly the different races get along.
As for you...I dont know what your experiences are.
Are they real? Ultrasensitivity or something else?
But, please ....stop befouling my country.
@@stephj9378 I'm not befouling your country, I said my country is the same, in some ways it is even worse. Racism is a problem worldwide. I will not pretend people are not suffering from it because it hurts your feelings and your national ego. Adults are supposed to be able to see problems and accept they exist and take the initiative to improve the world, not deny something because it is an inconvenient truth. You are in a bubble if you say you don't see racism, just because it's not happening to you it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. You keep repeating pre-packaged conservative talking points, I know them because they are the same ones my own family repeats, all the while maintaining racist views, even if they don't even realize they are harmful. Having racial bias does not make you a bad person, everyone has them, but refusing to work on your own bias because you don't care about it does. Be better.
What a profound take on how subtlety lets the worst of humanity fester.
What an eloquent summary!
I am stealing that for today!
The biggest injustices and corruption in this world are all subtle. Everyone pretends it doesn't exist
Racism in south africa? the country is very homogeneous 80.7% of the population are blac LOL
I was born in the South and lived throughout the South: Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky and went to college in the North: Massachusetts. Believe it or not, the one thing that I used to respect about the southern racists is that they would not smile in your face and then stab you in the back. If they hated you, they would gladly let you know it. They were not above calling you a nigg*r to your face. Whereas, in the North, many PRETEND they are not racists and then stab you when your defenses are down or back is turned. I agree 100% with Trevor's point that is better to know exactly where you stand and who you're dealing with rather than trying to sleuth it out by their duplicitous actions!
South Africa not the South of America
@@sigcinon he is drawing comparisons from his own personal experiences in the South of America because that's the more overtly racist part of America. He's not saying Trevor talking about Southern America.
Raised in Seattle for most of my life. Lots of passive aggressive pretenders of all races there. Smile at your face then complain about you specifically on Reddit and Yelp even if you don't run a business.
Someone once said watching Trevor Noah is like watching a Tedtalk and comedy in one. This man right here👏
I am always amazed at how Trevor thrives with an audience.
Same here !

Trevor Noah is a person that has the ability to make things look so self explanatory. He’s very astute.
@Elizabeth Jamieson Indeed.
Trevor warned us about corruption years back, now we really seeing how things are going down in our country. he's super intelligent, this is very profound. we all were upset when you left, but now we're following suit and those of us who can't wish that we could. pray for the people of mzansi
It still amazes me that Trevor is that type of comedian. Every now and then I always check up on his show to fill myself with Trevor's views on just about anything. Never regretted looking up to this man ♥️

"There's something liberating about fighting an obvious enemy as opposed to one you have to prove exists." Tagline of protagonists in every Ghost movie.
I find this topic very interesting. I’m German and certain things that are considered normal on the USA are considered racist here. We don’t use the term “race” to describe people of different skin colors and ethnicities. It’s considered racist to do so. It’s forbidden by law to ask people for their skin color on official papers which is perfectly normal in the US.
So how does Germany keep track of discrimination? How likely is someone of Turkish descent to be found guilty for a crime compared to a white person? How many POC are in top level jobs compared to their population group size relative to the overall population? France has the same non racial policy but it's still problematic
As it should be. Race is a social construct with no basis in biology. But racism will always exist so long as there are people who believe that race exists.
@@chopwet I valid !
here comes the europeans that act like their country is less racist
How do you describe people? Just by color or what? Do you use the term ethnicity?

I think The Daily Show should do a full story on how Native American people are being stolen and killed. And a story on how the tribal governments refuse to help their people. Their are Natives being stolen and it doesn't even make the local news much less national news. It seems like most people don't know and anyone that does it seems often ignores it. And the tribal and U.S governments don't work together on trying to build homes or get people access to running water and, electricity. The governments also rarely work together enough to save any of these stolen people, they just ignore these atrocities.
That would be great. I did think there was a serial killer, then thought, kidnapped and transported. It does seem organised. Sad and unfortunate.
What’s going on? I never hear anything about them.
@@DB-sy6xc czcams.com/video/UjI3hw07mY0/video.html
They are very few real Native Americans left in this country. They already killed most of them. The few left are so mixed that their race is all diluted. If someone does not tell you they are Native American you will never know. Hey, even the senator from Massachusetts was passing as one. Stolen and killed? someone must be just waking up from a 200 years coma.
Stolen like how? Kidnapped?? (asking for a friend)
That "ah ha!" Was adorable.
Trevor's personality shines through this segments and it is a pleasure to watch this wonderful human. everyone lucky enough to be his friend should be in eternal bliss when around him
Exactely !
Wow. Trevor is sharp. He quickly recognized the woman's depth and skill in questioning and -- "Aha!" -- thus found his instincts were right, because she was a teacher. That means Trevor has great skill in assessing other people.
he just took a normal statement and made it 10x funnier. this guy's a genius man
Not saying Americans don't know their history though it fascinates me how Trevor is informative of their history more than Americans themselves. Not basing it just on this topic alone but throughout all his interviews with other guests.
He is learned, and made an effort to study the history of America
I think its also because white people aren't a BIG deal in South Africa, you watch black shows, movies, entertainment so it's not like they're this giant entity like in America.
Racism in south africa? the country is very homogeneous 80.7% of the population are blac LOL
I'm American and we are notoriously lazy thinkers when it comes to history, finance and social issues!!
Another way they make it so you have to figure out that they're being racist is by simply saying "I'm not being racist" or "I'm not racist"
Right !
One of my favs is "I don't see color"
So I have to prove I'm not a racist? Who decides the test. IDC. I'll just be racist if it makes you happy.
@@davidpoindexter6778 I mean that's what it seems like he was okay with it was more overt and rather than hidden and you have to figure it out.
Boom, I always say that.
The first a racist says is "I'm not racist"
Trevor's "Aha!" was so triumphant! Like "I knew it!" 🤣

So nicely articulated considering the question came out of nowhere and our Trevor had to improvise! We love you, Trevor!
"...but I think there's something liberating about fighting an obvious enemy as opposed to one that you have to prove exists."
That is so true.
Trevor broke that down to a level where even the most dense person would understand it. He seems to have a way of boiling things down to their core essence and making a point of view easier to understand.
I wish that was really true but I see comments still asking why covert racism is worse! 🧐 They watched this whole video and still didn't get it! Trevor is great at what he does but some people are *incurablely dense* .
He needs to give Ted Cruz a one-on-one session..... 😅
Intelligently said.
If you cannot explain injustice simply, then you do not understand that injustice. Whites don't understand it nor their privilege. I really did not understand the scope of it and knew in my mind it existed, but after living with a Black roommate for a few years, I saw it first hand. Police, businesses, jobs, the public, loans for homes, appraisals for homes.........in one of the most liberal places in the USA. It was just nuts. Trevor is awesome. This is why we NEED comedy and comedians. You learn more with satire.

I love that part 😂😂😂😂😂
I suddenly remember a quote from one of his comedy specials. "You don't go to South Africa to escape racism. You go there to stock up." And you can easily find the stores with it in stock. Here in the US, they sneak in with the Snickers.
that's in son of Patricia lol
The constant psychological assault brought on to the mindset by subtle acts of racism can have a long term debilitating effect on communities . Thanks Trevor for eloquently breaking down this sensitive topic🌸
While this is a very clever answer, there is another difference. South African racism is, on average across the last 50 years, much more violent than US racism.
Some might say that they prefer the open variant, but living in South Africa was really a lot worse than living in the US.
Taking another example, there certainly is racism in the UK, and it's done very politely which may be annoying, but objectively the UK is a very, very safe place to live as a black person.
He didn't say one country was safer than the other, or more pleasant to live in on a day-to-day basis. He said racism is bad & open racism is easier to see than racism which refuses to call itself racism.
He was also comparing modern day South Africa to modern day America, that both have histories of racism, but deal with it very differently
I don’t doubt the racism in Africa, but the racism here in America is no slouch. It has been very violent and entrenched into American law, but everyone tries to act like the race problem in America is no longer a problem when it completely is.
Brilliant. New fan from India. Intelligent, witty, spontaneous, and some deep philosophy - all rolled into one. Glad he got to do what he loves to do.

I love his answers, they are so detailed yet he's always able to still be entertaining.

I just love how Trevor always makes you laugh but educates you 🙌🏾♥️
Trevor Noah has this amazing ability to just nail any topic in its head every single time! Kudos to his thought process and eloquence! Other comedians make you laugh, but this guy forces you to think too!
The way he answered this questions reminds of Loyisi gola live a the Apollo in the UK . He said the same thing about racism in the UK being Subtle and he’s used to top shelf racism 😂😅😅
Rihanna kno they trying to wipe out my bloodline in America Rihanna's pregnancy is a ritual to Satan
Love his Humor and his point of view on the subject
“Oh she’s a teacher” 😂
As a Brazilian, although I am white, we have the same discussion here. And I think here we took it to the next level, because the situation was even more subtle than in the US, where there was still a period of clear rules and laws against black people, even though they weren’t enslaved anymore. Now, here in Brazil it was like: there was slavery, then there wasn’t. And after slavery was abolished, there was nothing in the law that specifically said “black people can’t do this or that”, but they were thrown out from slavery into zero social security and no work opportunities. Our government even made immigration programs to bring Europeans to work here, instead of programs in which people would hire all the black people who all of a sudden had nowhere to live, no jobs and no food. And if they complained, they would hear the same argument of “there’s no slavery anymore, what are you complaining about, you can do anything”. So since then, we’ve had to prove that racism exists over and over again. It’s very frustrating, to this day, because people will say “oh, Brazil is such a mixed country, there are no white or black people anymore, we’re all the same”, but the ones that are shot dead because the police “mistook them” for drug dealers or dangerous criminals are never white. Interesting.
I am a black South African and agree that Overt Racism is better than Covert Racism however, he is wrong about a couple of things. Racism isn't as impactful as many people believe. If you as a black person want to occupy areas or jobs which whites do, you are going to have to compete with whites and try to outmaneuver them with knowledge and skills, nothing will be handed to you simply cause you are black.
The other thing that's a problem about blacks is that they look for racism in every multi-ethnic setting whilst forgetting that ''ge se ka batlwa se ka bonwa''. Not every white person who pass you by without greeting did that solely on the basis of skin color, the same is true for not getting a promotion or a loan. I don't wana ramble on too much but I always encourage my fellow blacks to learn basic economics regardless of their educational background, whether you live in the US or ZA please read minds like Thomas Sowell and Shelby Steel, I promise you will realize that you have very little to worry about if you put emotions aside and be incisive.
Welcome back Trevor. This is why your Live shows are better than anyone else's. And folks, what he said is absolutely true. I live in SA and been to US many time. I'd rather live in SA.
I've seen quite a few comments on yt from Americans wanting to immigrate to SA, particularly Cape Town. What's that all about?
@@ksc743 It is cheaper to live there. Have you seen the price of property in places like New York and LA, its crazy
@@ksc743 Cape Town is a 1st world country, not only that, it is totally Eurocentric, by look and feel.
@@akhisunjeya9935 yes I believe so, but for the ordinary South African, it's become almost impossible to buy a house in a safe area in SA bc foreign buyers are pushing up the prices. Crazy world we live in.
@@KabeloTlhapi I wouldn't say First World what with Eishkom and zero affordable public transport (unless you want to queue for a taxi). Xenophobia, ironically towards other African countries, is also very real in the rest of SA. It hasn't reached CT yet and I hope it stays that way. Otherwise, yes, CT is the best place in the world as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather it remains a secret bc there are already almost 5 million people living here causing gridlock traffic and the sewage infrastructure is crumbling, but the municipality is hellbent on development - more money in their pockets.
I love how intellectually sound & smart Trevor is...
Trevor's answer is something I heard for the first time, when I was an exchange student in the US in the 90ies and read Malcolm X biography and looked into the Black Panther movement.
Someone (might have been Malcolm X himself) claimed the difference between Southern and Northern US racism was:
In the South black people can be as close as they wanted but never be equal.
In the North black people could be as equal as they wanted but never close.
Northern racism, according to this was worse as it was invisible and thus much harder to fight and it would also make non-racists act racist inadvertently.
It sounded a bit trivial, until I realized it had a lot of depth to it.
If a black family moved into a white neighborhood the white neighbors would sell their properties. Not because they were necessarily all racists themselves, but simply because of the (quite rational) fear that if less people wanted to live in a mixed neighborhood prices would drop.
Thus supply would rise and demand would drop. The whole thing would be become a self-perpetuating spiral and self-fulfilling prophecy.
"There is something liberating about fighting an obvious enemy as opposed to one you have to prove exists".
That is so poignant and hits so hard. Trevor Noah is a blessing.
Another thing that I'd like to point out to what he said, is that I feel like taking about racism is a lot easier than it would be in the States. It's still a very different issue to discuss, usually amongst white South Africans, and discussions are always heated and very tense, but it honestly does get brought up quite a lot. Whether if it's about the issue itself, politicians bring it up, or a situation or event that might incite it (racial moments at a school, university, business, institution, farm, community, etc), it gets people taking. Unfortunately, not a whole lot is done about it, but we can at least acknowledge that even if we live in a "free democracy and apartheid ended 28 years ago and we had our first black president", we know it's still affects us today, and not everything was solved since then. Unlike in the USA, they seem to act like racism is solved because of slavery is abolished, Martin Luther King Jr stopped racism, having and voting for Barack Obama twice ended it again. Even as non American, I know that's a lie.
Also, for some strange reason, American racism angers, infuriates and gets me more impassioned than South African racism. Like I'd still get pretty outraged if a blatant racist act in SA happened and I'd be vocal about it, but American racism hits different. I think it's because my poor African American brothers and sisters have to deal with the fact that white Americans who claim that they "aren't" racist, when in fact they are and use microagressions, dog whistle terms and are ignorant to the plights and unjusticies black people face under systematic and institutional racism. At the racist white people before and after Apartheid know that they are racist and don't intend on hiding it.
I believe another reason that American racism is more infuriating is due to the extra lengths they would go through to psychologically manipulate you to thinking your experiences with racism are invalid because they either haven't experienced it themselves or don't want to admit it's real despite them subconsciously believing it. So because of that they are able to keep you questioning your OWN experiences all while continuing to apply said racism onto you without you ever really paying attention to it. And to make it worse its all matter of "you should know better by now" at this point on both ends
Deep Thoughts with Trevor! Wow... I love how he makes us think and question our perspectives.
Funny, amusing, informative, sad, and shocking all in 3 minutes. That's the talent of Trevor Noah. He's got a real connection with the audience.
Yeah and he has chosen to leave out the South Africa today. m.czcams.com/video/Ba3E-Ha5Efc/video.html
Racism in south africa? the country is very homogeneous 80.7% of the population are blac LOL
It’s interesting his perspective on American racism being more covert because that’s what a lot of people of color in the UK say about Britain. I’ve heard a lot of black Brits say racism is more overt in America compared to the UK. The UK is more insidious.
Since I’ve grown up in America it’s hard to imagine a more overtly racist place but I guess South Africa was/is it.
Can you imagine how insidious and hard to see it is in the UK 🥲? Black British people who see the racism happening are probably being told they are crazy by other black british people because the UK version of racism is hidden so well.
I am from Brazil. Same experience. Afro-Brazilians always say racism is more easy to deal with in the US because americans would be more explicit in their racism than brazilians...for me also it is hard to imagine some place more explicitly racist than USA...but I don't know South Africa.
They're pretty extreme with their hatred. I met a racist South African minister at church and he not only didn't really acknowledge me, bit I felt like he could've cut my heart from my chest.
@@sparklesp9304 They are racist.. South Africans I mean... but we've only had "democracy" for less than 30 years so it's understandable, at some level America was very much the same way
Can't forget that before he was a star on a news show he got his name out there with stand up comedy, I dunno if he does it still but he's absolutely hilarious 😂
Hilarious true 😂🤣😂🤣
American racism has a stronger gaslighting aspect to it.
Love from South Africa. So proud. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
“detectives of your own racism” 💀
Trevor Noah, this guy is so smart, so knowledgeable.
Why do we assume that only white people can be racist and only non whites can suffer from it .
Plus the systemic racism is false:purely hyperbolic
There's something to be said about an honest crook.
This is a vital issue to cover. There is not many people talking about it. Thank you Mr. Noah. Most xenophobic people are fearful of anyone that looks different than them.
I’m a first generation immigrant and I can totally relate to silent discrimination. I can hear the tone of some people voice when they ask “where are you from”.
If intelligence were to be human, then it must be Trevor, who else agree?
Me too my friend
Trevor intelligence but his writer wrote majority of his joke. I pick Jeff bezos over trevor😂😂
@@Saiputera Jeff Bezos has a poor EQ, maybe a high IQ but he keeps proving that he has a very low EQ. If you follow some of the scandals surrounding him you will notice it.
So you are a teacher!
Ahaaaaa!
He complimented her with his exitement like she was a superhero.
To put it simply, in South Africa, it was a law written in the Statutes and enforced, whereas in the USA it was not a written law, but practiced.
Man that “There’s something liberating about fighting an obvious enemy as opposed to one where you have to prove that it exists”... man a response like that can only come from a mind that consumes pages of a book for a living...a brilliant response that was.
Trevor’s on another level of intelligence shem stru nasi ✌🏿👊🏿✊🏿😉🇿🇦
The fact that this guy is the host of a major media show shows that there is no such thing as structural racism in the US. Ironically he himself is proof that he is wrong. I guess he prefers an apartheid like in South Africa so he can fight racism easier, but he wouldn't be working at Comedy Central and earning so much money, most that the vast majority of white people in America, he'd be cleaning toilets for surviving...
an intelligent man who knows how to use words is like a two-edged sword.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow, what a great question, asked by a wonderful teacher. Trevor, please keep imparting knowledge on us. Your response was heartfelt, thoughtful, and absolutely the truth. Love the show, and the between the scenes!! Thank you
Love it! Trevor is brilliant
He IS VERY exceptionally creative withit to.
I love how he praises her way of handling questions it makes me believe even more that what some men say about them not being able to see anything other than looks in a woman is an illness and not normal and they are just telling on themselves
👏
👍👏

It's a sign of maturity. Teenage boys care about looks... because biology. But as you get older and have more experience in the world, get more socialized (and when those stubborn homones stabilize), guys should begin to see more than just looks.
Racism in south africa? the country is very homogeneous 80.7% of the population are blac LOL
I miss him. So grateful we had him on the show!
Another negative effect (among many hundreds) is that other governments and societies can point to places like South Africa and say "See that's what racism is, we don't do that so we're not racist."
