Trevor Noah on rogan's 'what it is to be Black'

[butters]

"There's such a spectrum of shades of people," said the podcast host. "Unless you're talking to someone who is, like, 100 percent African, from the darkest place, where they are not wearing any clothes all day and they've developed all that melanin to protect themselves from the sun, you know, even the term Black is weird. When you use it for people who are literally my color, it becomes very strange."

After Noah's amazed acknowledgement that he was actually more the shade of a caramel mocha frapachino, he ran off screen which triggered the sounds of police sirens:

Returning to his desk, Noah then informed his audience: "The police said I'm Black. But yeah, apparently Joe Rogan really wants to know why they say 'Black people' if they're not the color of a Sharpie."

The South African-born TV personality went on: "The things these guys seem to be ignoring is that Black people didn't call themselves Black. You understand that, right? It's not like Black people were like, 'We're Black.' No. In Africa, we have tribes. We have cultures. Zulu. Xhosa. Baganda. Igbo. Wakandans!

"But then white people got there, and they were like, 'Wow. There's a lot of Black people here. A lot of Black people.' Then in America, they invented a rule that if you had one drop of Black blood in you, that makes you Black—which defined how you were treated by the government and by society."

rogan's popularity stems from him playing to the thickest/least educated/ and/or most racist elements of America, but instead of enlightening them he makes them feel verified in their beliefs.

wakandans *snort*

Yah, that whole discussion from Rogan and non Tan white guy who thinks he's tan was just absurd. ....I think Rogan should invite Trevor onto his show and have a segment that just reviews that discussion.

Noah needs the exposure. He's got like 20 viewers anymore.

Noah is South African. Did that country, under Apartheid, have a "one-drop rule" like the U.S. had during Jim Crow?

It's being destroyed in detail under black governance as we speak. Have you seen what the hell is going on down there right now? The entire country is being looted and burned by tens of thousands of ignorant shortsighted looters.

Yes, because that was my point there. Good perspective there.

Interesting.....my friend, who was just there with his wife, who is South African, didn't mention anything about it.. I'm sure he was really not there.

Um...... That ^ would be exactly what ROGAN would want and would benefit from.

The POS Rogan obviously has zero shame or conscience and profits handsomely from his constant appeal to the worst in humanity

Hopefully Trevor Noah has more class, dignity, and self respect than to appear on Rogan's "show".

Of course they're both in the "entertainment" industry, so it wouldn't surprise me if Trevor did go on Rogan's "show".

SAD!!!

 

[Bud_Spencer]

It's the only perspective. I'm trying to recall what the economic principle is named, but it is essentially using someone or something that is famous to boost one's visibility to potential consumers. Noah knows what he's doing, and Rogan is no fool...he'll let him sputter and spit on his unwatched show.

I don't care what Rogan wants. I think Noah would destroy his entire perspective with ease and I think his listeners would benefit from listening or watching that train wreck happen. I know it would take Rogan down a few pegs, even if he'd never admit it.

In all honesty when you have stupid perspectives like that in a vacuum, you just reinforce it. Isolation doesn't stop it.

What's that got to do with this?

There's nthing that Noah can bring to Rogan. Nothing. The opposite is not true.

I love the rehash of the leftist trope of "we're only failures because the world is so disgusting!" No, it's beause you're predictable, unfunny and desperate for attention.

 

[Rightguide]

Compared to now it appears things, deplorable as they were, were more peaceful prior to Mandela's communist revolution.

You're only seeing this through your bullshit CRT lens, which makes complete sense.

You're absolutely full of shit on this one...as usual.

No one with a brain can and should defend Rogan's perspective here.

Yes. It was pretty much on a par with pre-civil war U.S. south. I once saw a picture of a family in the Soweto ghetto that had a little boy who had blue eyes, blonde hair and less dark skin color than I do, but was classified by the Afrikaner government of the time as black.

Joe Rogan gets paid to mindlessly spew verbal diarrhea so that morons can lap it up like the small-minded twats they are.

Trevor can actually hold an intelligent conversation, can maneuver his way around viewpoints, propaganda, rhetoric and histrionics.

I agree with Butters, ‘nough said and ditto «*snort*»

Actually, I'm seeing it through a Milton Friedman lens. When Friedman was at a book signing, a protestor showed up and bellowed his hatred for the Nobel economist and put on the usual street theater for the crowd. When the disruptor's act was over, Friedman explained it in purely orthodox economic terms: He was famous, the protestor not, therefore the protestor knew he needed to use Friedman's fame to reach any audience at all. It all made perfect sense.

This is what is at work with Noah. He knows he's the insignificant weed here, and if he can pick a fight with the #1 talk show host in the country, even if he loses, he might attract enough viewers to stay on the air and employed.

Rogan knows this, and will not comply.

Rogan doesn't attract the caliber of interviewee he does because he's a moron. Much the opposite.

That is never a good idea.

Yes, I already gathered where your perspective comes from. You've made several threads whining about it. But thanks for more tl;Dr for me.

Uncle Milty is geting his revenge now, eh?

Burlesque.

No, Rogan ain't that serious.
