      Yeah I could see Roy getting a career lift out of Behind the scenes. He's showing that he is a really intelligent, well thought out guy that can tackle deep and divisive issues. As much as I love his comedy, I think his future may be in more serious stuff like this (but still with a bit of classic Roy comedy).

      I could see him taking over for Meyers or Colbert if either of them were to retire from their respective multi-generation franchises.

      @NathanielJordan85 2 года назад +4

      Why's he got to inherit a white colleague's job instead of making his own thing like Colbert or Oliver? I actually think he would be well suited to hosting single topic deep dives like Oliver or Klepper, but more panel-style than Oliver's lecture format it Klepper's field interviews.

      I'm not sure that Trevor Noah is the man to be speaking for black America... as if he even gets many of the cultural references. Roy Wood Jr. would be better suited for that. But The Daily Show is doing the USA a service by giving black America a voice. And make no mistake, after Obama, the country is going through what, hopefully, is a transition period of overt whitelash. Trump launched his political career in birtherism. And Republicans, to this day, are sustained by attacks on Black Lives Matter and "critical race theory."

    I was born in 1992. My father named me for a major general that fought for the Confederacy and advocated for slaves to fight in the army. He constantly made racist jokes and would threaten me if I ever voted for someone black and/or Democratic. Anyone who dismisses racist and biased problems is ignorant and foolish. It is passed down through generations.

    Don't let noone silence your voice. To tell an adult to shut up, or to use the term "you people" is not just wrong but decremental to any one watching. Places in ones mind a sense that this talk is acceptable. To belittle like that on tv is unacceptable. There is power in your words. Use them don't let them use you. Looks like a drug dealer? That breaks down to a full audience anyone of that look would be associated with a drug dealer. I love the dudes responce. You look like a drug user. This language lash burns scars with generational repercussions. There is power in words. Never let your song be silenced for the buck doesn't stop with you.

    Hats off to everyone on this panel. This is next level professionalism, intelligence, dignity, and class. I am an Italian woman who grew up with parents who were colorblind. They didn't care if you were 500lbs with purple skin. I was married to an Indian man for 25 years. I have been called a n-lover more times than I could ever recall. We never used that word in my house and I initially found it shocking. My husband and I traveled extensively throughout 60 countries, all over the world. He was always getting pulled out of line at airports and treated like a terrorist. He was a very successful attorney and came from a very prominent family in India. The humiliating circumstances were borderline scary. Accountability is a very powerful word. He was always at the mercy of ignorance and downright hatred just because of his skin color, while I was guilty by association. I've always been embarrassed to be white. Listening to everyone on this panel is truly gut-wrenching to hear some of the offensive things everyone experienced. Please don't think that all white people are ignorant racists. They sicken me as well.

    This was wonderful. I especially enjoyed Yamiche. I believe that she has attained a level of self-possession that comes across so well now. The previous president could not ruffle her feathers because she was clear about why she was in that room. As POC we cannot afford to react to every ignorant comment that many ignorant make because it can take us from our larger purpose.

    55:41 "Do you have _any_ plans to visit the border."
    This is a point I was briefly taken in on. I mean the _border_ was the place the crisis was _manifesting._ It was _not_ the place the crisis was _originating._
    "I'm here in Guatemala, today."
    This was a key point I was missing. A number of the people converging on the border were _from_ Guatemala, and they left because of factors _there._ _That_ was one of the sights of problems that had to be resolved.
    One has to be pushed _quite a bit_ to be ready to leave one's _home._ You're not about to leave just because you've heard of rivers of milk and honey several countries _away._ If there's a place where you've grown _up,_ it's the place where you've built your _life._ You're not going to leave because you've heard of how _wonderful_ things are _elsewhere,_ but because the circumstances where _you_ are have turned _bad._ You're going to be driven out by, for example, your entire neighborhood being overrun by drug lords who have begun to make you and your family fear for your _lives._ _There's_ the problem that has to be addressed.

      💯💯 That’s one thing I never understand about the dumb question about her going to the border. She was visiting the Northern Triangle, to try to get to the root of the problem, which to me would be the logical place to start. 🤷🏽‍♀️

      💯! Growing up after being born 5 days after immigration, I heard all the stories about what my family, like many fellow immigrants, _wanted_ America to be. That ideal is still preached and I truly beyond anything wish I still believed those stories. That's the most messed up part about America. The country is built on an easy to tell _story_ of a perfect egalitarian country with no fears or worries. It's nice to think about and hope for, but it's faaaaar from reality. Stories are great and give hope when it's needed most, but at the end of the day they're still just stories.

      I have been to Guatemala twice, Mexico 4 times, Honduras twice. They are all beautiful countries. Americans look at me like I've got 4 heads when I say that. They don't understand the dynamics of living in those countries. Those citizens embark on that dangerous journey to come here because they have to, not because they want to. If things were stable in their country, they wouldn't leave. Americans don't get that. The hatred that they have for them is disgusting and disgraceful. Shame on them.

    I love Roy! When I started watching TDS after voting for T(rump) in 2016 🤦 he has changed my whole view point about what it's like to be black in America. I'm white (and was raised with all those stereotypes taught to me about black folks-it's taught to kids yes, yes it is.)but I finally feel black culture's impact on my life and see and feel their experiences and I'm no longer white-blind to the b.s. that Black Americans put up with; I can see it now, I couldn't see it then. It's almost like learning a new language; at first it sounds like gibberish-then you start to pick out words you understand, then full sentences and pretty soon it starts to make sense. I could start seeing the microaggressions they talk about and the uncomfortable interactions they have. But most of all I could start hearing the dog whistles of racism that I couldn't hear before, I do now. Once you start to be able to see it, you can never unsee it. Thank you, the people on this panel did this for me. But, especially Roy.

    This was a great conversation and, if * nothing * else, it gives people a chance to hear the experiences and perspectives of black folks and black media folks and what they see, hear and experience. And I think it would behoove us all to genuinely listen to what they have to say. It will help us understand each other and that will make for a better society/world.
