they really think they’re too smart for us to catch the white supremacist dogwhistles (birth of a nation), and too above repercussions to worry if we do. gross >:(
ReplyThe US constitution is partially based on the Iroqouis confederacy..
ReplyWe really need better education about the horrendous white supremacy embedded into the founding of the US.
ReplyTrevor! You missed a great shot! Instead of, “We took their sacred ground to build a few Pizza Huts.” you could have said, “we took their sacred ground to carve white people out of it.” and shown Mt. Rushmore, or it’s real name, Six Grandfathers by Lakota native, Nicolas Black Elk.
ReplyI met him when he thought he was running for PREZ. He did not do well, and I nailed him on marijuana laws, and he started stuttering. It was great.
ReplyWe destroyed it and there was NOTHING LEFT!!!
ReplyNo surprises!
ReplyNot like they taught the settlers how to survive and grow corn or anything.
ReplyHe really just going to breeze by the fact he stated for religious freedom yet native Americans were killed for practicing their own religion on their land that was being taken from them….
ReplyBasically most white Christian Americans feel this way which is sad
ReplyTrumski
Replyah… ha.. I guess neither he nor his ‘exceptional’ camp remember that the ‘rule by the people’ consitution and government of the US was in no small part copied from the Iroquois Confederacy. The ‘founding fathers’ did not come up with that stuff on their own, they noticed first nations that had a form of government they liked better, and that became ‘american culture’.
ReplyLol how he spoke is how most of the white people in this land think. Sadly one of the arguments I hear is that the “Native Indians” weren’t doing anything with the land… so they took over the land, started destroying it, and now look at the weather that can destroy your buildings, then digging into the earth and taking important resources from underneath us, and the waters pumped full of pollution and chemical waste.
ReplyDid he think Native Americans were just randomly sitting there waiting for white ppl to show up and tell them what to do?
ReplyOne also has to wonder about the intellectual and moral capability of the silent audience members.
ReplyAs someone who lives with all of the modern “conveniences”, it is incredibly ignorant to look at any culture past or present and say they had “nothing”, or “not much”. Although they may have to work harder to get things we take for granted like food, water, shelter etc… Just because they work harder dosen’t mean they aren’t happy. Also there are all the stresses and issues they don’t have as Trevor mentioned.
ReplyI kept trying to wipe off the black circle on your left arm thinking it was a cigarette ash on my screen.
ReplyAnother glowing testament birthed from test tube of ignorance.
ReplyHe should learn about colonization….what an idiot.
ReplyAmerican exceptionalism is narcissism. Same can be said for conservatism, basically, especially in the 21st century.
ReplyI guess being a republican is like ooohmen a drug a drug addict Sentom really please be fair to yourself
ReplyYou pillage and destroy the Native American culture, then wonder why it’s not prevalent in American culture.
ReplyI’m starting to understand what true American culture entails.
A lot of taking…
This is why I laugh, no one acknowledges the abuse on the Native Americans, sure we are of certain lives, but not all lives… just what ever gets the votes is the topic
ReplySame dude they named some *ahem* gross stuff, after when he was being homophobic right? Not surprised but hopefully more people can see why we don’t like “conservatives”.
ReplyIt’s sad but it’s true. America culture has nothing to do with Native Americans but that’s because they were pushed out. I believe there is so much about spirituality and nature that could be learned from native americans but USA doesn’t want anything to do with being self aware it rather put on a mask of materialism and consumism and pretend everything is alright even thou it’s burning in front of our own eyes. Being conscience will make us great.
ReplyBut he isnt wrong though there isnt.as much culture from native Americans as there is today we.all are Americanized even you Trevor Noah sorry but cant.hide the facts.bro.
Reply“No trace”?
ReplyThe founding fathers, their heirs and the white wave of immigrants killed it ….. all
That pizza hut refrence.was messed up.trevor
ReplyAtleast he acknowledges that they came with religion and they did what the pope told them to come and do.
ReplyNow this is what you call racist!!! There is no way he can clean this up. Not even with an apology.
Reply“Exterminate all the brutes” boy how that HBO Max docu-series really just outlines it all
Reply“There’s no Native American culture in the US”. except, you know, the US Constitution which was based in part on the Iroqouis Confederacy…
ReplyAnd people like him always scheming to find ways to institutionalize that the genocide of natives was necessary to create “the blank slate”, disgusting…then people like DeSantis in FL claiming that IF you even acknowledge this genocide, you hate amerikkka. As someone this is native american of CA, I can tell you that that is just not true.
ReplyR.S. is another person who gives a new meaning of stupidity.
ReplyHe uses, “We birthed a Nation”…to conjure the ethos of “Birth of a Nation”, then added how it was done for freedom of religion, totally ignoring that others/natives/enslaved Africans, were not allowed freedom of religion. (this is one racist trade of epic proportions) sad actually. is this what Jesus teaches him/them?.
ReplyTrevor, you’ve made that CNN joke at least twice already.
ReplyLocal politician has never been to Wisconsin.
ReplyIgnorance at it’s best!!!
ReplyHe is like when you are sitting an exam and writing whatever comes to mind.
ReplyBlahman Rick is a joker. They r all sick qanonsfools. Blabman Rick desrepecting the black people. In his campaingfir president. And lie for lying trump hope he can defend his friend. Rudy now he support the trash he was talking about hunter and Biden sa lies
ReplyRick is racist. He only disrespect native and black people. They cover with racism sheet all over the Repulicans party
ReplySo their faith was more important than the Indians’ practicing their faith ? They were just greedy SOBs !!!!
ReplySomeone should go and get his skalp just to remember him.
ReplyWhite Love LYING
ReplyCan’t believe this guy is still being talked about
Reply“We birthed a nation–from nothing.” This is exactly the problem: For so many Republican politicians, if you’re not in our white Christian club, you’re nothing.
ReplyWhite people nor their descendants can or will ever be natives in North (or South) America. This is a statement of fact and not up for debate. #facts
ReplyTypical conservative… no nothing sleazeball and proud of it
ReplyUmmm it’s been 4-5 times that I watched that clip and I just noticed he said “we” (white people) birthed a nation. That in and of itself would’ve been questionable enough on its own, what with the… Birth of a Nation.
ReplyYOU BIRTHED A NATION WITH THE ANNIHILATION OF MY PEOPLE WE WELCOMED YOU AND YOU BACKSTABBED US. YOU CALLED US SAVAGES PUT BOUNTIES ON OUR HEADS AND TRIED ERASING OUR PEOPLE FROM HISTORY. YOU ARE FILTH FOR THE TREACHERY
ReplyTHe USA owes the structure of their representational democracy to Native American culture, specifically the Iroquois Confederacy which was made up of multi-state government with each state (tribe) governing itself while uniting for mutual defense. The framers cited the Iroquois Confederacy and other Native AMerican government as the inspiration for federalism. Of course leave it up to soon to be “Florida Man” to be clueless and racist. And as far as his claim of “freedom of religion” the USA only granted that freedom to Native People in 1978!!!!That is literally yesterday that Native People were ALLOWED by the US govt to practice their faith.
ReplyRick you should be ashamed of yourself. How do people like you who know very little about our country get elected to help run our country?
ReplyHe makes me embarrassed to be a white man in this country.
ReplyAs they practice their faith, they committed genocide on the native Americans. This is their Christian faith.
ReplyPreach it brother!
Replyrip my geographical ancestors
ReplyColonizer in a white savior mask
ReplyHow big of a shovel would u like for this hole sir?
Reply“Blank slate”… Yeah the colonials wiped them out….
ReplyIt was a native American who teached Sinatra how to sing even when he breathed in, making him unique between whites.
Reply1:52 A few thousand years? European colonization of the Americas began a lot more recently than that.
ReplyYes American indigenous people are that “something else” part of the demographic pie. But most of us know it’s not limited to one specific group. It’s a sweeping term to pigeonhole all native people into one narrow idea or concept. A concept the American government would like to be “something else.”
Replyand actiuvely tried to exterminate them all …
ReplyOne of the biggest misrepresentations of the history of colonial America is that it was founded by people who ‘sought religious freedom.’
The puritans were persecuted in England at the time.
The reason they were persecuted?
It was their belief that Catholics should be eradicated.
At the time the king (James I) wanted to reconcile protestants and Catholics after so many years of unnecessary persecution and bloodshed. The puritans were seen as agitators and peace-breakers because they wanted Catholics to be persecuted a lot more.
You may recognize that this puritan hypocrisy continues to this day when certain evangelical christians think they are the ones being oppressed because they can’t discriminate against other people. Their version of religious ‘freedom’ is ‘freedom to discriminate against people not of their religion.’
ReplyThe racist ignorance is so BLATANT! A population of 10s of millions (maybe 100s of millions, as estimate vary) with a variety of rich cultures and social structure is hardly a “blank slate”. Disgusting.
ReplyJust whitewashing history from a very eurocentric/puritan pov. Precisely the problem.
Replyignorance
To practice religious freedom. Who asked you to leave Europe? You vagabonds. You invaded everywhere and destroyed everything in your paths.
ReplyI barely watch Basic these days.
ReplyThis is just too much.
ReplyIt’s not enough for him to apologize. He should be fired from everything
ReplyWe didn’t land on plymouth rock
ReplyYou know the rest
This is disgusting.
ReplyRead the book 1491 and you’ll have an idea what the Native Americans had
ReplyAre republicans unaware that there are smartphones recording them at these little shindigs…
ReplyLiterally wiped out 90% plus of their population smh
ReplyRick “outed” himself for telling the truth of White Christianity.
ReplySame thing with Australia’s Aboriginal genocide.
ReplyHello sir
ReplyThis guy is still an offensive person after all these years…almost as offensive as his war mongering predecessor Bob Walker, but then again ,who remembers Bob W.
ReplyWhite people got Native Americans addicted to alcohol
ReplyCan you imagine being native american and hearing this man talk?
ReplyThey didnt have massive loss of biodiversity and natural lands over the 16K plus years they were here.
ReplyIn less than a fraction of a thousand years, America looks like the country sized equivalent of a Walmart.
History lessons from Republicans? No thanks, never mind, runs from room screaming…
ReplySounds like pure, old-fashioned Manifest Destiny ideology to me.
ReplyManifest Destiny, in the year of our lord 2021?! Seriously?!
ReplyCNN is on the clock! Somebody is getting fired!
ReplyAmerica: the OG genocide
Replyoh boy when you start playing the whole speach and quit the clips! people theres more to his speach.
ReplyHe said “we came here and CREATED a blank slate”……CREATED a blank slate by killing the actual Americans……we came here for “religious liberty” by destroying and demonizing others liberties…..
ReplyLiterally almost every major highway in the US, and the majority of the world’s foods are the legacy of native trails and cultivation.
