Comedian Russell Peters GOES OFF on Trevor Noah

[8WON6]

Truest example of "hand picked"

Same way Issa Rae is seen as a "black" voice in the US. She's safe for whites and she shyts on black men. She makes sure to let people know she's not ever going to fully talk that racism shyt from an AA perspective. They know Trevor Noah can only talk race up to a safe point, and beyond that he would be out of his element.

A standard play in American media

I'm also not a fan of the outrage industry the Daily Show created. Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, all these people do is whine and keep their audiences angry, without doing a damn thing about the problems they report and profit on. fukk all of them

The straw that broke the camel's back for me was something John Oliver did... either he created a SuperPAC or like a corporation or something... and collected money from it.... but didn't do anything with it. These people are the Fox News of the left

I don't know about everyone else but it was a big deal when Oliver bought people's debt and forgave it all.
John Oliver makes 'TV history' by forgiving $15 million in medical debt

No. He is coloured, considers himself coloured and coloureds live in townships. They even have their own townships they've formed.

Trevor does not consider himself colored... He considers himself mixed race. Where as AKA the rapper is colored "one of the rappers you linked".

Coloreds were segregated ....Yes they grew up in townships but they have there own separate identity and culture, because those townships although closely located to black townships were separate.

I'll take the perma ban if I'm not South African.

Here's proof and I will pull up more if you'd like.

"All joking aside, Trevor Noah has something to say about race. In interviews with President Obama, writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and The Washington Post's own Wesley Lowery, the "Daily Show" host has spoken frankly, provoking discussion on a subject he knows about intimately. Growing up under apartheid in South Africa, the child of a black mother and a white father, Noah defied categorization: He was mixed-race, but not "colored," a specific ethnic distinction in South Africa. Noah's experience offers a unique perspective on navigating racial division, a subject he explores at length in his fascinating and heart-rending memoir "Born a Crime."

I tried to watch this earlier sway is so horrible at interviewing I had to turn it off and unsubscribe

Sway is the absolute worst

Like his talent is how bad he is

 

[Mikael Blowpiff]

the most accurate description I ever saw of Trevor Noah was that he was a sentient boat shoe. God that man is painfully unfunny.

in that very video he called himself coloured.

in that very video he called himself coloured.

There's a quote where he states otherwise....

He has an entire bit in one of his older stand ups where he pretty much says the same thing....And has been pretty consistent....He wrote about it in his memoir as well.

I don't know what more to tell you breh... Other than being first generation mixed is not the same thing as being colored which is a cultural distinction not just a racial one.

Russell Peters has no fukking right to call any one a joke thief when he stole jokes from Gina Yashere. Then when Gina confronted Russell about using her jokes on one of his specials he said he'd buy her a diamond tennis bracelet as payment to reconcile instead he avoided her and never bought her the bracelet and continued to use her jokes. fukking dikkhead.​

Back scene comedian drama.

Edit- He admitted it in the video OP posted...


He gets a pass...

I like some of that stuff. I'm not a regular Last Week Tonight viewer, but it's something I will watch on occasion. I think John Oliver is funny and the writing staff does a good job.

There's something exploitative about Trevor Noah though. There's nothing wrong with being a mixed person or a black person from a distant, not entirely related culture. But if you enter this culture you need to have respect for the history and the people who laid the foundation. I have the same issue with Afro-Latinos living in this country (which I am) who don't show proper respect to the black American struggle.

Trevor Noah could have easily taken on racism (institutional, social, etc.) in the U.S. and drawn parallels to apartheid South Africa (not fundamentally distinct) but instead he chose to do hackey impersonations of black people utilizing the same "ebonics" heavy bullshyt that white comedians use when they want to reduce us to a cheap punchline. I can't warm up to his humor as a result.

Yep, I know the exact special you're talking about. His mockery of AA's rubbed me the wrong way too. Mocking AA's longing for a connection to Africa.



Even as a non AA, it rubbed me the wrong way too....

 

[Hannibal Fox]

AA artists been making fun/stereotyping Africa and Africans for ages. If it's friendly banter one way, it's friendly banter the other too

That Aries Spears special was awful outside of the Schwarzenegger impersonation and the half a faq joke, don't let me get started on the Paul Mooney bit

I still don't understand how a nobody from South Africa comes to America and gets a hosting gig on a popular show?

And I watched Trevor's comedy. He isn't funny. And when it comes to the daily show, it is funny because Trevor doesn't write for it.

Yes you do c'mon fam

I shouldn't get it but I do

going to need a link because what you provided is an article about him, not him saying it. I gave you video proof.

I'll see if I can find a clip from that particular stand up.

Paraphrased from an article about his book.

Matters weren’t much better after apartheid ended when Noah was 10. With black people now in charge, Noah was still considered more “colored” than “black.” “You could imagine,” he writes, “how weird it was for me” to be “mixed, but not colored — colored by complexion, but not by culture.”

Again colored is more than race classification which it is in South Africa. But it requires a cultural inference which came about under those segregation laws. They have a separate unique identity.

He may be saying it as a vernacular thing....But yeah like I said his written an entire memoir on his upbringing and his identity issues.

Americans know him? I didn’t think he was that big.
