Trevor Noah says firing people for blackface controversies "doesn't solve the problem"

"Daily Show" host Trevor Noah continues to make his mark on late night comedy. He recently introduced viewers to his grandmother in his hometown of Johannesburg to discuss his childhood under apartheid. His grandma said she used to be scared police would take Noah because he was mixed race and interracial relationships were illegal. Noah shares how his family kept him hidden in his memoir, "Born A Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood." Noah joins "CBS This Morning" to weigh in on blackface controversies surrounding Virginia lawmakers.

    Trevor highlights the biggest problem with all these dumb stories blowing up in the news at 3:50. As soon as he comes full circle with his thoughts at 4:26, she changes the subject because this panel is just as much part of the problem as the panels, pundits, and anchors of every news/media outlet. It's the media making headlines, titles, and putting these stories out there in a way purposefully worded to provoke people which in most cases totally misrepresents the actual facts of the story. How about we start holding the media to account over misrepresentativism, the newest, hottest -ism that people should be getting offended over.

    I like how most of these comments just jump to the "unless they're Republican" thoughts. Did you even watch the video? Do you even watch The Daily Show? Trevor Noah makes some good points here and I recommend placing your partisan thoughts aside and actually listen to what he's saying. He even addresses how media presents news with certain headlines that doesn't help someone approaching the situation. So rather than looking at the title of this video and immediately dismissing it, calling Trevor Noah a "partisan hack", or blaming Liberals for everything, why don't you try opening up your mind a little bit and hearing what someone has to say. Like he says at the end of the video, we do better with bonding over our similarities than just looking for our differences.

    The problem is that it's been a cultural norm in areas like Virginia for a long time, so the 10 or so people behind him that are qualified to do the job, also have similar problems to face. I'm more interested in how a person's policy record reflects the actions they take and shows how they've matured as an individual...we've all done things we're ashamed of. Should we be held to account for those things for the rest of our lives, regardless of how we have evolved? I agree with Noah, there's a bigger conversation to be had.

I'm certain that I may have said or done some things 35 or 40 years ago that I would not be particularly proud of today if "dug up" Thankfully, I have grown considerably as a person since then. Unfortunately I am forced to admit to the truth of the fact that some of what the current issue represents still goes on in some areas. But the question of "firing" him I believe simply sweeps it under the rug and allows it once again to go away. Perhaps the goal of some?

I've seen very racist movies coming from the USA but never one dealing with such a subject for conversation. Its not "entertaining" enough I guess, and doesn't yet have a happy ending. True change can only come if the school system in USA gets better at teaching the atrocities instead of celebrating pathos.

    Susan Rose I mean it was rough but it’s also very odd that someone in her position wouldn’t even ‘understand’ the history of black face or even make the “conversation” more open so that they could come to a more well rounded understanding. It wasn’t really a conversation that showed much understanding or appreciation for a range of perspectives on the issue. Someone with her experience should have approached it better. But I in part agree that her ignorance in that moment shouldn’t necessarily have led to her firing. But at the same time you should understand that the network may want to distance itself from such moments.

    Love Trevor!!! Thank you. I hope we can set aside defensiveness, blaming, finger-pointing and name-calling to have a conversation that heals not just racial strife but also that of other disadvantages as well. My mother once told me, "Judge a person on what they can change not on what they can't." I love that philosophy.

    I think we should fix things like segregation, redlining, discrimination, police brutaily and mass incarceration, we already know they're racist, we've been saying that for years and years, listening to that hate won't change anything, we need doing, no more talking.

    Stop "not seeing color" like there's something wrong with that. Open you're eyes, we are DIFFERENT, just how we are also the SAME. It is not a bad thing to notice, accept, respect and even embrace differences. Celebrate them because they are just as beautiful as our similarities. I love being Black. I also love people for not being Black because that IS who they are. Periodtttah! 😁

    To be fair, the Virginia Governor may have changed completely since med-school. Why are we trying to hold old people accountable for things they did 30+ years ago? Especially if its not illegal
