As a pregnant black woman married to an Asian American man, I've carried more stress last and this year than I can express. America has me more terrified now then I ever was living abroad.
Please keep safe
Love and light 🙏🏾✊🏾
🙏
@Star Traveler trump, is that you? don’t kill anybody mk?
Martha, I’m so sorry this is all happening. Ppl can be vile. I believe you and I hope you feel validated and heard. You’re important to the US and we value your life. We want to protect and support your family.
As an Asian woman, just wanted to say thank you, Stephen.... so lost today...
Hugs and prayers. This is horrifying.
God Bless you we are all one standing together..please be safe my late husband was Chinese and he was the best person I ever met
Please know that, even though assholes exist, good people outnumber them vastly, and we accept people for what they do, not what they look like. Peace and love to you and yours.
@Sud Darma Stop spamming.
Comfort and encouragement to you. We grieve with you and promise to do all we can to be part of the solution.
“Don’t hate each other.”
Yes, I agree.
And also, we need to stop letting violent, crazy people have guns.
@David Orozco classic whataboutism in the wild, fascinating
Gun control laws will surely work. Because as we all know. Violent crazy people are sure to follow the laws! We outlawed murder and rape, so no one does that anymore. I sure feel comfortable not having to take any personal responsibility for my safety. It wasn't fulfilling or interesting developing skills and collecting tools to make myself safe. Who needs that when i can trust the extremely competent and consistent government agencies to serve and protect me! Surely the oligarchs that run this nation have my best interest at heart when they push for civilian disarmament and there are no examples of that ever going badly.
American communism (Putin and China) comes from the left; not conservatives.
If it worked for the Australians..
Anyone who absolutely needs a gun in the next 24 hours shouldn't be getting one
I swear Evie Colbert’s heartfelt giggling is better than the whole live audience 🤣
Enterprise1701J I agree ! I would love to hang out with Evie ♥
I wholeheartedly agree! I love that woman!!! ❣️
You mean, like at 0:34 ?
I hope the social media manager shares this comment with her ❤️
I'll be sad when/if they go back to a live audience. I much prefer this format.
I'm not of Asian descent, but this tragedy makes me sick! My sympathies to all those families going through such heartache right now. I'm praying for you all.
Most of us are immigrants, my people were mistreated as well, but for some it is much easier for lowlifes to hate them because they look different.
@@Turtleproof All of us are immigrants. Even those that came across the Beringia land bridge. Of course those immigrants came over thousands of years ago, versus hundreds of years ago.
No one in this country should hate one another for the differences each group has. Unfortunately, some people believe they have the right to do so. Not sure if that is due to psychotic tendencies or due to paranoia. Either way it's not right! My sympathies to those that lost loved ones today, and any others that I may not be aware of. May God be with you all and hold you in his arms as you mourn.
Whats also sad is that so many people dont understand that these "spas" are often owned and staffed by Asians - viets, chinese, korean, cambodians, ect. I dont feel this violence was specifically directed at Asians. It was directed at women and those women working in those establishments were asian. Racism is everywhere you look if you look hard enough.
You don't have to be asian to be disgusted. You just have to have a soul.
@@AStri-zg5xc that's an assumption. Reality is some of them do not.
I’m half Japanese. My grandmother came here after the 2nd world war. Seeing the news, she said “she hadn’t seen this much hate against us in over fifty years”.
The pandemic is ending soon but there is no vaccine for racism. We can only hope that it will die out someday.
I mean..White People who descended from WASP always sting other who didn't look like them..seriously.
There is a wave of hope coming. I can't promise it will end racism, I can't even promise it will fix very much. But my generation (Z) is a lot more accepting of people and cultures. Not all of us, not even 90% but slowly through generations the racists will be challenged and one day, maybe not in yours or my life, perhaps not even my children's, but one day I can promise you we will beat it.
So until then, all I can leave you with is a Churchill quote:
*"If you're going through hell, keep going"*
@@drewstaser9726 I believe the trend is going to move in the direction you are predicting, but that won't happen quick enough. I wish I had answers for both systemic and overt racism.
I’m white, and I am completely befuddled by the recent rash of anti-Asian racism. I cannot understand where it comes from at all. Is it because of Covid? That seems like the only possible explanation, even though it’s completely ridiculous to blame a people for a disease that I’m sure they want just as little as everyone else. Diseases are naturally occurring, not man made. It would be like hating fish because of tsunamis. Perhaps the Chinese government could’ve done more to contain the spread of Covid, but that’s on the government, not the people, and even so, that’s no reason to hate everyone from that continent. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.
@@GusCraft460 it's because of social media and network television. Owned by racist tyrants pushing their own agenda onto the masses. Rupert Murdoch is single handily making the world a worse place.
My fiancee is Asian American. Her mother (in her early 60s) had experienced a couple of incidents of racism in 2020, including being coughed at purposely. The aggression, the attacks, and now this shooting are devastating and evil.
American communism (Putin and China) comes from the left; not conservatives.
I’m not Asian myself. But as someone who genuinely loves the many Asian cultures in the world, it breaks my heart. I reach for my condolences for anyone who has been a victim in this or any hate crime
Me too! Thank you for having humanity and empathy! I appreciate you.
It DOES kinda piss me off on how many Qanoners are anime fans, though.
I love that you make a point of never saying the former guy's name. Thank you.
The only person who should ever say that person’s name is the judge in the courtroom.

A bad day is getting burned with too hot coffee, running late to work, failing a test, realizing that the store is out of your favorite food, a restaurant not having any available tables, getting a ticket. Those things can make it a bad day... you getting up and deciding you are going to shoot people because they are the source of all your perceived problems, you are not just having a “bad day” you shouldn’t get to be humanized more then your victims.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

Not true unfortunately, people are born with an innate aversion to those who are different from us. We must be taught to overcome that. So I guess the last part is true.
Well Nelson is wrong.
You see we are ALL ANIMALS.
Dont like it? Take it up with SCIENCE.
In nature...have you seen 2 species be friends?
How about same SPECIES...different colors?
No, huh?
Like it or not...RACE MATTERS.
@@alessandrogambino420 That's entirely wrong. Many different species create friendly relationships. There are numerous viral videos on RUclips of precisely that.
@@alessandrogambino420 are you really saying animals discriminate based on the fur/scale/skin color of one another?????? That's wild dude I gotta tell my differently coloured dogs they gotta up their racism game, how dare they be friendly to each other
@@alessandrogambino420 I accept your premise, I reject your conclusions. In nature, biodiversity is extremely important. You eliminate any species from any particular ecosystem and you threaten its very existence. Also, predators, for example, don't HATE their prey, it's just food.

@@drewstaser9726 Challenge accepted! 👍
I've got several great quotes. Look for me tomorrow night...
I liked how gradually Colbert transitioned from the serious message back into his normal humor. :)
"I scored 100% on Rotten Potatoes" is such an underrated joke based on that laugh-track...
I hate hearing you answer and speak when tragedy strikes, because you are such a bright point of humor, and yet you handle it with such humanity and decency. So thank you again Stephen.
Beautiful words
Problem is that some people think life is a zero-sum game where for them to succeed, others must fail. They put others beneath them because they feel it makes them the bigger person.
So true. Everything has to be political with their back against the wall, taking offense against any perceived slight.
It's like they never heard of John Nash's Game Theory or something: don't go for the blonde!
That's what the Republican Party teaches, this didn't happen in a vacuum. The truth is it's very hard to succeed in the United States, we are lacking in many areas. Sad state, we need to respect people more and that will come if we demand it.
Every time I see someone shove a cart into a lane instead of parking it in the corral I know someone thinks he's king in that moment.

First thanks Stephen for bringing awareness of the issue of anti-Asian hatred on your show.
Second I would like to address the cause of conflicts and even war and a practical way to stop them all.
It much has to do with the food we eat these days. We should really ban meat on our diets. Torturing and
killing animals for food is a way to bring about karmic creditors to the human race. We even have a term
for it in Chinese 冤亲债主 , which means lingering vengeful spirits that are always waiting for opportunities to strike back at their meat eaters. That 's why meat eaters have mysterious diseases or illnesses, not behaving normal like hate crime murderers, not doing well in their life and other mishaps. Not only is killing animals the cause of war and conflicts, it is also the cause of earthquakes, tsunami, droughts, and other disasters. ruclips.net/video/HnLg00_erZ0/видео.html
Eating meat is not nutritious or healthy for all of us. These are lies.
ruclips.net/video/R9hPIMqb-cI/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/Ra0_m6PhwE0/видео.html
So please make a change of our eating habits and exclude meat from our diets. There should really be a global ban on meat. With that said, meat businesses should look into vegan-related businesses, they are very lucrative and bring no bad karma to the world as a whole.
For those who have been meat eaters, try listening to and even chanting some Buddhist sutras like the Compassion Sutra. Sutras can help you eliminate our past bad karma.
Thanks for reading

It’s interesting how Stephen’s show has changed during this Covid period. Still very funny but somehow deeper.
These monologues are a delight.
I would love for these shows to stay like this, they don’t need a live audience.
I'm glad Stephen takes a heartfelt moment whenever there's a tragedy. He's one of the few tv people that actually cares about others.

Stephen, thank you so much for your kindness and coverage of the tragedy that that Asian community is suffering right now. Sometimes it's not about the words themselves, but the heart of the person who is saying them. I can't express how thankful I am for you, and your crew for talking about the difficult stuff with compassion 💛
The saddest thing is hate, racism and violence will never go away...😔 I just hope it happens less in the future, love to everyone! You're all beautiful humans no matter where you're from or what you look like❤
The younger generations are less tolerant of hate, so we will definitely see less of this. Someday.

@@BitsofRealPanther Troll. Troll. Troll.
@@matthewmacdonaldchannel1 No, just someone who is tired of this one-way narrative.
@@BitsofRealPanther I spent several hours today reading up on it. The primary reason for the targeting was because they were women who represented a sexual "temptation" to him, and he was "unable to control" his pathetic-ass self's urges. However, the reason for the massage parlors being where he went to get his satisfaction absolutely has to do with them being Asian, due to the long-standing objectification and hyper-sexualization of Asian women in the minds of many American men, PLUS their frequently immigrant status that gives them few options to support themselves and their families. Women of ALL races are still subjugated and objectified. However, the situation for Asian women in terms of this sort of illicit prostitution is clearly worse. My point is that BOTH aspects are clearly relevant. The guy might not have done it out of racism - it WAS about sex for him, and is thus clearly a misogynistic act. However, the position those poor women were in has a LOT to do with their race and nation of descent. So it was a racial hate crime as well. How about all of us who are disgusted by this excuse-for-a-human's act stand together in solidarity against it instead of fighting, when clearly there were both race and gender-related reasons for it? His next destination for a shooting before he got caught was a porn studio in Florida, btw. Lastly, those 2 who were killed who were not Asian, or the 1 male who was killed, they were simply bystanders in the wrong place at the time of the shootings. Simple as that. It was a hate crime against women as well as a hate crime against Asian women.

Almost every US conversation of history, politics, and social issues tends to dismiss and ignore the existence of indigenous people.
@@linden5165 When I was in high school, we talked about the settlers' move west and upending of native american society and culture. We discussed the Trail of Tears, broken treaties and Chief Joseph's flight North. Everything you see before you isn't necessarily the result of ignorance-- it's also because people are religious and god told them it was okay. It was a part of their manifest destiny. Now, the children of these people who had god tell them it was okay to commit atrocities against other races are afraid because those races are part of the reason they're losing power.

You do realize racism _is_ a chronic problem in the USA? Otherwise people wouldn't be talking about it as often as any other time.

That's the reaction when people cry wolf over racism and sexism so often, when it actually happens, no one believes it.

@Hernan Cortes What hate? Colbert doesn't hate anyone. He displayed a great amount of disdain and still does of the former president, but it's only because Trump was incompetent. Colbert has never promoted hate against any one group of people, ever.

What we need to do is change the direction of this anger. These morons are making it racial, when it ISN'T. They need to stop targeting Asians, especially when they don't even know if they are Chinese or not (because news flash, not all Asians are Chinese) and start banding together with them against the Chinese Communist Party. That is the true enemy. Not Asians, not even the Chinese. The CCP specifically. Because the Chinese people are equally under the thumb of the CCP, and the CCP harmed them too. The CCP has harmed all of humanity, but especially their own people, and the ones who are minorities in their country, such as the genocide going on right now.

We need to step back, take a deep breathe, and realize it's CULTURE, not RACE, that makes us different. Race has nothing to do with who we are, it's only an indication if a culture coincides with race. Which isn't always the case.
So if we stopped seeing race (i.e. stereotypes), besides the obvious physical different, and instead were taught to figure out what someone's culture was, we would naturally end up NOT treating people different at first viewing. We would get to know them first, a huge step up. Because we need to stop assuming everyone with this or that skin color is the same (this applies to the ridiculous 'white privilege ' stuff as well, that has to go as well or racism will never die) and instead realize we are all individuals shaped by our families and the society around us.
"Maybe one day, it'll be America". That's one of the best last lines of a monologue I have heard of anything ever.
That's gonna require a river of blood which the white people in charge aren't willing to shed.
I'm not talking imprisoning the radical right wholesale. That won't work.
I'm talking another civil war. They're gonna have to be dead.
But white Americans aren't willimg to suspend the bill of rights to make their country better for non-whites.
@@JoshSweetvale Grow up.
@@mycatiswaysmarterthanmosto8500 ü mean, evolve ✔️
@@JoshSweetvale As long as your racism is targeted at white people, it's funny! Right Steven Colbert fans? Who's with me?!
@@mycatiswaysmarterthanmosto8500 no kidding I say that to him too
Love your show! Thanks for your heartfelt messages and humor. Many blessings to you and yours.
It Feels so inherently foreign to the person that I am... that so many people are unable to see that we are all human and deserve respect, love... 🥺 I don't understand how so many people lack common Empathy! It is absolutely heartbreaking! 😔💔
I know what you mean, how you're feeling.
"Encourage one another, be of one mind, live in Peace.." This is a 'saying' I came across recently. If only ...
We need to stop hating people for who they aren't and start loving people for who they are.
can we still feel disdain for certain people because of what they've chosen to do?
@@Cortesevasive I'm guessing you are white. If you were a person of color, I don't think you would be saying that.
@@spir5102 so POC can't love? They don't have to love? Or is it, they shouldnt love? What are you saying?
@@Cortesevasive you said that we should stop the endless discussion about race. I guessed you are white because people of color know that discrimination is not over, it's alive and well, and if we stop discussing it some people will think it doesn't exist. We have to get it out in the open and have an honest discussion so we can address discrimination, how it grows, what it is, and how to combat it.
@@davidp7833 I never said that. Where did you get that?
Trust Stephen to take a funny commentary about St Patrick’s Day/Irish-Americans and smoothly redirect it towards another immigrant group that faces racism today. As a daughter of immigrants, thank you. I, like many others, am tired of hearing about racism in the news, but even more so tired of experiencing it and seeing my loved ones experience it. My heart breaks anytime I learn about another hate crime. We are all freaking humans. Why do certain of us have to suffer because of our race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, etc? I’m tired but I will still use my voice and talents to uplift all of us that are senselessly discriminated against and treated as less than human.
What is ‘funny commentary’ for you can be seen as rude commentary towards Irish people. The stereotypes that we are all fighters who drink all day is not okay. Its not a smooth transition: its blatant hypocrisy.
Jennifer ♥♥♥
Love it when Stephen said "DOODOO-Thr-tey" 💀😁
It was really great hearing that bit! 🤣
Love this show, Thank You Stephen!!
Actions speak louder than words. And this guy's actions were straight up racist.
@@JohnSmith-kr7sj bad day is when I'm late to work and got my pay reduced, worst day is getting fired for it... This... This is fucking sick! And fuck everyone who downplays that!
How so Detective Gadget?
He said it wasn't. You're a professional mind reader? LOL
@@ShayMarie.00 WHY...WHY would he lie about it?
Do you think he cares...what YOU ALL THINK?
If it HAD BEEN RACE RELATED...wouldnt he feel proud?
Brag about it?
Mock people?
A couple of racist knock knock jokes on the way to interrogation?
So why would he lie?
Because YOU ALL WANT IT TO BE SO?
Doesnt that say something ABOUT YOU?
I disagree. I think he has issues with women, color was unimportant.
Imagine being able to look into Putin's eyes without fear and then telling him he doesn't have a soul. Respect!
Joe Biden has lived through the worst that can happen to a man. He has no fear because there is *nothing* *left* to fear.
Putin is a sociopath like trump, they have absolutely no moral compass!none!
Biden: I know who you are, and what you are!
Putin: Good. Now we can speak clearly!
Yes! Incidentally the Russian word for soul is Dusha.
Considering that Putin has spent his entire career trying to project a "hard man who will crush his enemies mercilessly" image, I imagine he took it as a compliment...
Thank you Steven. This is the way.
New Zealand has a similar message from the Prime Minister during the early days of the Covid crisis; "Be kind". It really resonates with me.
Guess what messages Americans received from Trump...
@@buschg7106 Something like "I'm ok, sucks to be you?"
Thank you for not showing the ex president's name or saying it.
It’s so nice to have a president who will stand up to Putin and not kiss his ass.
While China is tea bagging him.
He has to keep a quiet protest with a country to avoid behind the back repercussions
@Star Traveler I disagree. You are the one who is pathetically misinformed.
@Star Traveler You sure about that? As I remember it he wouldn't send them javilin missles but sent everything else requested, but I guess the propaganda channels don't mention that. Perhaps try using politifact to fact check yourself before spreading misleading incomplete information. By the way you parroted Gaetz almost perfectly.
you triggered a lot of trumptards, nice job.
I really appreciate a person that can express the facts as they really are. Thanks again to the "A Late Show".
😂😂😂Dr. No Malarkey!🤣🤣🤣
Stephen's compassion and grace are a balm for the soul.
I agree. That's why he's my favorite ♥♥♥
@@moonbeanification you re joking. All these late night talk shows have been nothing but hate for four years
@@maxpayne3435 just like the ex-President you probably worship.

Women of all colors need to rally around our sisters and protect each other. We're in more danger than usual.
Exactly
💗🌺
I agree I love this idea we need to it does not matter what skin color you are we all bleed the same so why do we attack each other
Yes, I've been really bothered by the arguments over whether it was a racial or gender based hate crime. Clearly it was both!!
@@deprofundis3293 🤷🌺
Thank you Stephen!
The Eric impression never gets old. I hope you're still around for his run for the office.
I like the T**** strike and not mentioning what's-his-name.
Wouldn't mind going with Oliver's thing from 2016 of #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain, at least. (Gods do I wish he'd stuck with that...)
What does it exactly accomplish? I do not really understand.
This was a very good monologue. The beginning was incredibly touching and the rest of it was top notch comedy. Also Biden went and stared into the dead eyes of a soulless murderous modern tzar and called that shit out. Like a badass.
He's got our back. Unlike the last guy, who was only concerned about covering his ass.
Honestly, Putin's reply was also badass... didn't bother to deny it or act offended, straight up owned it. But don't call him Tsar, he doesn't deserve the honour.
Don't kid yourself. Nobody is afraid of Dementia Joe.
@@hectorheck1353 One does not need to instill fear in order to instill respect.
Comon, having actual life plants in your pocket is classy as heck 😂
Happy( belated) St Pat's ☘️to the funniest & smartest Irish-American on late night 👌
You go Stephen! Get Gym Jordan! He was a disgrace to The Ohio State University, the State of Ohio, the United States, now all mankind
"How'd that get in there?" I LOVED that moment.
Jim.....
@@whiskeywilk4737 -- He's called "Gym" Jordan in writing by outraged people because of the scandal Colbert referred to.
@@ValerieJNorse Oh well if he had mentioned that towards the end I didn’t see it. I turned it off about half way through due to how painfully unfunny he is.
11:51 and now this man got the presidential 'medal of freedom' - former recipients of that medal must feel cheated or tempted to hand it back, wouldn't you think?
It’s always been hard for us, we just don’t like talking about, thinking it’s going to go away. But it doesn’t... Rip to 8 lives loss 🙏🏼💙
Where is that sad violin music comming from?
Oh the smallest violin in the world being played between my fingers...boo....hoo.
Thank you Stephen Colbert for standing up for the AAPL. We really appreciate you using your platform to acknowledge this horrific incident and does not cast us aside.
Excellent, Stephen!
My husband is Asian and my daughter is Black. I worry for my family.
Lol how the f did that happen??? 😂
@@SuperKing604 What a stupid question. Just think about it for two seconds, derp.
@@SuperKing604 uneducated
💗💗💗🌺🌺🌺
@@Tavat How do you think? I can think of a couple scenarios that could lead to my family's diversity. I'm actually curious what people think when they hear this fact about me.
Very well said, Stephen. You don't have a direct answer to the violence, but it's still powerful that you talked about it during your show. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏👊
When hate is removed, love is what’s left
We share the same planet.. Is one house.. One sky one land.. For us to share .. With diversity to make it more beautiful.. And different cultures for us to learn and enjoy each other as one planet one love.. Amen.. 🙏🙏🙏
Like they say in ‘South Pacific’
You’ve got to be taught to hate and fear/
you’ve got to be taught to from year to year/
It’s got to be drummed in your dear little ear/
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
Bravo Stephen...that IS the answer...'Don't hate each other and recognise each other's humanity.'
"A president who acknowledges reality"
That should be an incredibly low bar to pass, but wasn't for the last "P"OTUS.
Dementia Joe has not known reality for 20 years.
