Most students in America are only taught about a handful of important Black Americans in history class. Here’s a look at why schools should teach students about race and why certain parents are opposed to that shift. #DailyShow #TrevorNoah #School

I love Native American national Anthem from history lessons
ReplyI learnt from YouTube but paid money to the University.
Replyyeah they gon miss that end part fr
Replywhat makes you think these racists don’t want to repeat it?
ReplyProbably we should start teaching international history.
ReplyI ‘ve learned a lot about german an european history but clearly failed to be teached about the rich history of all the other parts of the planet. It would change our point of view immensely, if we realise there was civilisations, cultur an religion before white people came to conquer.
yes systematic racism should be taught so that the phrases like “race card” or “racism is over because..” or any other BS can end
ReplyWhere you gonne stop talking and show some solutions to stop to hate black people
ReplyI see no issues with teaching kids the mistakes of the past so that they are not repeated…. how is this hard to understand.
ReplyFunny how those that say they don’t want these things taught are ok with demoralization of ethic cultures
ReplyThe oppressor will never be the right person to tell history of him oppressing. There will always be biasness and watering down of the truth
ReplyAs german.
ReplyThis is absurd
In a country that believes that a magical man that lives in the sky created everything in 7 days is it really that much of a stretch to think they might not be teaching history correctly if they don’t teach evolution and the fact that most religions are based on fairy tales do not be surprised that perhaps the reality of America is not being taught.
Reply*MANY RIGHT-WING CHANNELS* are now using a manipulation technique I call “Call to authority run on”
They quote a respected person or book and then in the same intonation say their BS propaganda, implying the original author said it and hence lending credibility to it…
ReplyJordan Petterson pioneered this technique.
They are the biggest Hippocrates and its because they cant see past their nose. Coming from republicans that want to teach kids Praeger University courses.
ReplyGuess where else the government and populist waves are trying to rewrite history? In Russian Federation we are now seeing a rise of neo-Stallinism where the younger generation is told that Stalin was a great person who strengthened the Soviet Union instead of directly and indirectly murdering tens of millions of its own citizens.
ReplyHaha Little Klaus!!!
ReplyCan a racist country have Black History month?
ReplyThe devil’s greatest trick is making you believe racists don’t exist. Decent reasonable people stormed the Capitol.
ReplyI learn more history from sabaton than I do in school
ReplyThe biggest positive impacts starts at the home.once parents stop teaching their kids racism itll be less of an issue.I was blessed with beautiful highly intelligent parents who my grandparents tried to teach racism to .but my parents were both tolerant beautiful indivisuals.I was gifted by their sense of truth on my many levels
ReplyMust confess I have been a racist towards ” orange ” people since 2016
ReplyThe US need to learn a thing or two from other countries about its education (Cuba, Japan, Nigeria (well all of africa)
Reply185 Klancestors have disliked this video.
ReplyGreat video, Trevor. This is an important issue.
ReplyAs a (history) teacher myself, I’m getting really annoyed by uneducated people telling me how to do my job. Looking at society through the lens of race is just one of the tools we have. Some others are gender and class. It’s important to deconstruct society based on those principles to explain how it all works, why are things the way they are.
First teach native American history
ReplyPoor white people keep people like that idiot in Louisiana in power
ReplyWe dont want our kids Growing up hating we are starting to hate this country because of the people on fox news
ReplyAs a German with a horribly history, i find this weird. We learn really early on about our history. Without sugarcoating it. How can you except change without knowing what happend. Just because you don’t talk about or don’t like the topic, it doesn’t erase the past.
That doesn’t mean we don’t have racism, but we don’t have status of nazis to glorify. (Or to “learn about history”)
ReplyWhen we stop dividing American history and black history, nothing will improve in that department.
ReplyTo think that public education is anything but a prison for the mind and design to prepare better wage slaves in the labor market is the true sad crime. Sadly until we can free the education system from the current system it was made into we can only hope to teach our children these important ideals at home. We need a better educated population who pushes a better designed education system and who has a desire to read and educate themselves over watching tiktok and hour long meme YouTube videos. Breaking the chains of the mind start with YOU not your government and there systems made to trap you. I love you all.
ReplyWhy do people get so emotional when they deny being racist in public? No one said you were racist… but you kind of told on yourself with your little show.
ReplyLearning the history of one’s people should be an honor and privilege earned only by those who have mastered reading, writing, and pre-calculus mathematics. /s [or is it?]
ReplyAccording to white right wingers, teaching the real history of the US, that white people aren’t superior, slavery was evil, and that people of color were crucial to building the country, is racists and will destroy the country.
Reply“I will be made to feel guilty” is what someone said about teaching about systemic racism. forgetting that those who don’t learn from their mistakes are doomed to repeat them. And white privilege let’s people live without constantly seeing the hatred and damage being done to our non white community, making it easier to pretend it’s not happening. We need to teach our kids so they can be better than us.
ReplySOmeone tell this to Japan as well to not hide the second world war crimes made to Korea and China
ReplyThe pain is white people have been whitewashed into thinking they are the best people in the world and they are not.
ReplyNow Trevor just stole someone’s quote over there!
ReplyI always wanted to learn about Native American religion. Always thought it was neat
ReplyI love history or social studies. Online school with Grands and I always add the fluffed over parts so they understand the violence and hatred that created this country. This has made us romanticized our history as heroic and glorious.
Replystrange only 2 states teach racism history and one of them is MA. Yet Boston is in the naughty list.
ReplyThis guy should go back to his country and talk about racism. There is a reason why he moved to America. Must be so bad here.
ReplyI think it’s often better to put critique in terms of the actions, i.e. “what you just said was racist” or “what you just did was racist” as opposed to “you are racist”. That is an attack on peoples self image and will usually shut down all hope of a discussion since people will just turn defensive and refuse to acknowledged any wrong on their part.
ReplyWait… only 8% of graduating seniors know slavery was the cause of the Civil War?!! Yikes.
ReplyAmerica likes to teach about freedom and equality, but chooses to overlook the many times the nation didn’t live up to those ideals. Whether it’s the slavery, segregation, and racism toward black people, or the genocide of Native American tribes during Western Expansion, or the Japanese internment camps during World War II, they would prefer to sweep all that under the rug because it flies directly in the face of the Declaration of Independence’s determination that America is a nation where “all men are created equal”. We’ve been taught that acknowledging these injustices is “un-American”, rather than learning from those past mistakes and teaching today’s people to better live up to the ideals of freedom and equality that even the country’s founders who created such ideals couldn’t follow themselves.
Replythe funny thing about the comparison to us germans is that it was actually the AMERICANS who made us “learn from our history” and now they don’t want to do that themselves …
what?
ReplyHow is Critical Race Theory racist & how is the 1619 project inaccurate ? Please give examples evidence and facts.
ReplyHistory is like twitter deleted
ReplyYou are sooooo right Trevor. System just wants all poor people hate each other so they just keep power
ReplyI think there should be some time devoted to what might unity look like and how to create it. Now part of that would probably need to be honest about the past and our present situation. But it puts the end goal at helping to solve the problems and create a better world.
Replyeducation is for geeks and losers!
Reply“Those who can not remember the past , are doomed to repeat it.”.soo True…I guess more than some countries are doomed to repeat it in Europe….Germany is maybe the only one Who learned.
ReplyThe sound of that woman crying almost made me fall out my chair laughing.
ReplyThank you for highlighting the economic aspects of what is going on.
ReplyTeaching kids their country is perfect is the reason the US has used human rights violations in other countries to start wars over resources with the excuse that they are “liberating” those countries… and yet simultaneously ignore human right violations in the countries they are allied with.
ReplyIm amazed at the number of people who don’t know about that time the US government made a race ban to keep Asians out or when they took them out of their house and attested them into a concentration camp. I shouldn’t be surprised because we don’t teach that in school. Thousands of people only know about the Tulsa Massacre because of a TV show about a time traveling blue man and cops in masks!
ReplyThis is all part of US history and since those who don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it, I would very much rather Jayden to feel uncomfortable for 5 minutes while finding out that his pop-pop used to commit hate crimes, than to have his kids attacking minorities as an act of rebellion against the “woke regime”
Racism is a fact of humanity’s tribalism.
ReplyHumans will always have an “us and them” in their minds.
The hard part is expanding the “us” to include all (non-criminal) humans, or at least those of the same country.
DANKE, Trevor, DANKE, DANKE, DANKE!!!
ReplyI hope this travels, we only learn about this stuff during black history month. Mlk, rosa parks, I heard about harriet Tubman from a comedian talking about how he doesn’t know black history. I had to use Google to learn that jazz was created during the Harlem renaissance.
ReplyConservatives hate critical race theory because it makes people think about it in history and now so they frame it as everything is racist but white people are the baddest
ReplyIt’s clearly not tho…even children can understand that
It’s just that racism is such a huge part of our history tho
Reply3:39 you laugh, but I learn the most accurate information on TikTok. And if it was incorrect information, eventually someone else will explain what the correct information actually is and why the inaccurate information is a misconception.
ReplyOh? Talking about the classes and their relationship to race? Okay Trevor I see tou
ReplyTypical of a Karen to use tears to make her point
ReplyA Church of England priest gave me brain damage so I have to watch short videos many times to real lies that he makes more than one example. I’d wondered why he was so popular. Beca6a priest doctor private prison jailor with a medal fro6the Queen gave .e brain damage, helped massively by Goldman Sachs, my brain damage file has been rewritten three times that I know of and I’m still the guilty one. The Salvation Army private prison empire and the nuclear navy bases and.. yip, the priest got a medal from the Queen. Capital shows owner ship by the Queen, unless it’s a black human with a white flag
ReplyIts because the Confederates gained control of the education system, the police department, and they have gained power in the house and the senate. The civil war never ended the Confederacy/Racism. The civil war only open the door for them to infiltrate our system.
ReplyTrevor dropping the facts as usual. 🙂
ReplyI learn more about history from the history channels on YouTube they even bring up obscure topics from history
Reply“More or less” “could possibly be”
ReplyPhrases for speculation not FACTS!!!
Remember the Fresh Price episode where they talked about Black History? That was almost THIRTY years ago, and we’re still talking about the same thing. #progress
ReplyDont forget about the asian,,,,,,
ReplyIf teaching children the truth about racism causes them to hate this country then the country needs to desperately change.
ReplyChange not the truth into a lie but change how we look at the REAL CULPRITS who continue to perpetuate the lies.
For four years it was not THE White House but THE House of Mendacity.
what about the multitude of native Americans that were slaughtered
ReplyIf this same thing happened to the KKK, they would scream that their First Amendment Right was being trampled on. If these guys can get licenses to march down any street and spew their hateful beliefs, which are protected under the First Amendment (as they did in Charlottesville)….if THIS is okay with the government of the United States of America, then so should TEACHERS be able to teach all aspects and viewpoints of American Culture and History.
But no. Keep approving the Klan’s rights to rally in parks, with bullhorns making horrible speeches about other races, and encouraging hatred of blacks and Jews.
America actually does not ban the teaching of hatred, as long as it’s not against white people in America.
ReplyIn Utah our history is censored to reflect well on the established religion. We’re taught a bunch of false history in SCHOOL that we find out wasn’t real as an adult. Many adults in Utah don’t really know accurate Utah history.
ReplyReally Maine? Really?
ReplyGo back where you came from.There,your problem is solved.
ReplyI love you Brother. Once again you are the champion of The World
ReplyNothing says I’m not a racist like having to say I’m not racist
ReplyMan … U r great!
Reply“Less than 10% of class time is devoted to black history.” Uh, so? I presume that is a typo meaning to say that less than 10% of HISTORY CLASS is devoted to black history, which would be shameful, but let’s not forget how little is spent on Native, Asian, and many other cultures.
ReplyGreat topics ! Respect to trevor !
ReplyThis is so racist. If a white person pretended to be black al, you blackies would be upset
ReplyHow can we overcome something if we don’t learn about it?
ReplyHow do we learn about it if we forget it?
We talk about racism because it never left. Pretending it’s over is racist itself.
Where’d that crazy mom’s chin go? Is it ashamed of her?
ReplyIt’s funny, I was taught the civil war was about slavery, then they changed it to being about, “State’s Rights”.
ReplyGreat focus of the topic. Thank u #TrevorNoah
Replyfcku
ReplyAnybody know about schools that practice corporal punishnent and what % bm to wf
ReplyHit dogs holler.
ReplyEugenics equals war and oppression.
ReplyWhite American culture can be suffocating. Consider that there are no “Asians” in Asia, the people there think of themselves by their nationality,; they are either Chinese, Indians , Koreans,…The same is true in Africa where people identify themselves by their regional ethnicity , few people would first think of themselves as “Black” but as this or that ethnic group in Nigeria, Ghana,… Or “Latino” which is a laughable overgeneralization to describe people as diverse and unique as Mexicans, Cubans , and Brazilians. Only in America where everything is seen through a racial filter do people call themselves “people of color” or Black or Asian or Latino , which are only useful in indicating that they are not White. Even “Whites” is an artificial classification to force people with backgrounds as diverse as Russians , Italians , and the Irish into one group. In America race is everything.
ReplyA lot of history books are partially paid for by the daughters of the confederacy. Kinda dumb
ReplyDemocratic Party FOUNDED ON RACISM. DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS SYSTEMIC RACISM. GET OUT of the RACIST DEMOCRATIC PARTY RIGHT NOW! TO-DAY!
ReplyNon-Affiliated Florida Voter
The public gets more information from Trevor, John, Stephen and other comedians than from schools and the news As of this comment even 473 alt right racist watched Trevor.
ReplyThe purpose of history is to learn from the past to correct and avoid the mistakes and evils of the past along with the positive events of history. Racism, bigotry, religious intolerance are not what most of us want for the current and future of the USA.
ReplyI’m proud to be from Mass
ReplyThose who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Seems many public schools in many states are determined to keep our students from thinking critically. Ask yourself this, who is indoctrinating who?
Replypoor klaus #saveklaus
ReplyI love how you sprinkle anti-American, anti capitalist, anti-debate points but always have a way out. Nice not dissecting anything.
ReplyYes, Trvor and we have repeated our racist past over and over……MUST STOP!! And teaching our true past will help..spoken by a white woman….Me
ReplyThus why I bothered taking Chicano history in high school as an elective class. US history never covered that topic as part of the civil rights movement and just skipped over it.
ReplyIt’s simple, just tell the kids to look to our current republican party.
ReplyThis man is a muppet.
ReplyThank you for pointing out the way government targets poor people–and black people who are more likely to be poor. A lot of racism is actually class-ism, and part of the ongoing war against the poor (as opposed to poverty.) Not to say plain old racism isn’t alive and well, and living in the US.
ReplyIt’s pretty simple, if people understand America’s racist past it will make it harder to perpetuate America’s racist present.
ReplyIf you cut out the abysmal attempts at humor, the gist of your content can actually hold its own.
ReplyThese ppl don’t want to look in the mirror. And don’t want their kids to see what is in this mirror. BUT THE MIRROR NEVER LIES.
Reply@5:33 Professional Karen Alert!
ReplySure racists don’t want their kids to identify racists. I am white, but one thing I know about America, the most hated white people are poor women and after that it follows as unknown middle class different ethnicity or shade of people, then poor men of the same and finally poor women of other ethnicity’s or shades of skin. All that should be identified and exposed, then maybe you could call America a decent country (still faaaaaaaaaar away from great, and even further from the greatest, on that particular continent, and the furthest from the greatest in the world ).
Replywhy would a comedy show defend something as despicably joyless as critical race theory?
ReplyI never knew that 7 states don’t mention slavery in their education curricula until this segment. That’s crazy, and also f’ed up
ReplyIonoe. But i was taught the racist history and nothing awful came from it.
ReplyThe Lost Cause was indoctrination
ReplyWhite men can’t jump
ReplyI was in college before I had a history class where the textbook actually bothered to mention Tulsa and Black Wall Street. I’m proud to say that unlike most Americans, I didn’t have to watch The Watchmen to learn about it, but I still find that problematic.
ReplyWhen I first came to USA I was a bit shocked how colonialism was presented in school. Everyone was happy and nothing bad happened,was the bottom line…
ReplyGermany (my country) is probably due to our recent history, one of the few countries that actually sees its own history critically.
USA is extreme, but lacking reflection of the past, is in many countries I guess.
I was i think 16 or 17 when i learned about Japanesse internment camps, and I only learned about them becuase this kid I knew was reading a book about them. But who cares about that, whats inherantly wrong with US citizens being stripped of all thier property, improsioned without any violations being commited due to thier ethnic background, and then not having anything returned to them post release?
ReplyI live in Iowa. Every single history class we had skipped over the Civil War because we “didn’t have time for it” and we don’t even acknowledge the war of 1812!
Reply6:42 Actually that is happening. Look at the far right in Germany. Looks a little familiar.
ReplyWe don’t teach US history, we teach nationalism.
ReplyCan parents get ahold that curriculum? I want my children learning from our nation’s history. All of it. But, my children are in FL schools.
ReplyLike the Atomic Bomb on Nagasaki was overkill? No way.
ReplyI have rarely seen such a karen
Reply3:09 speaking of NC we just got new Social Studies Standards and finally it stopped saying “Indians” in place of Native Americans.
ReplyWhy we teach history is, like most serious questions, unanswerable. We have no idea why we do things.
