Hello from California and this young man is awesome by sharing kind wise words. Thank you !!!!

[@jeremygodwin4069]

Isn't pride something one may feel due to their sense of accomplishments, not for things one had little to do with? Would it be ridiculous for me to say that I'm proud that Jupiter orbits the sun? Does proud now just mean happy?

Trevor is one of the top world stand up comedian who does not have to swear to make you laugh 😂 impressive

[@danieels4590]

That is what I appreciate most about Trevor, he does not swear on stage. People who try to be funny by swearing should pack up their comedy act and do something else, because they have no talent.

[@IanaMoto]

Best comment ever

[@user-bn4gg1qt4b]

and avoid using impolite words is also appreciated.

[@morsetbillie9715]

I second that. Whoever told most comedians that you can't be funny without being profane did the world a very huge disservice.

[@mirelasemanjaku]

I always believed that only smart people can make good jokes. And it takes a smart man/women to be able to cook sarcasm with humor and serve it to others and not get beaten for it :P :P

Trevor Noah is an exceptional young man: bright, insightful, creative and courageous enough to speak truth to power.

[@willemwilmartech8343]

I think Trevor is just playing Aparteid for his benefit to be like Charlize Theron he is a simple coulered boy and cell c maked him the dumb man he is and he will say what ever the media tell him to say because money is the ......... ...

[@lukebrusatori4841]

willem WILMARTECH exactly correct. He is pile of shit who exploits a part of history he was barely effected by for his own gain. It's so shallow and he's done fuck all to give back to his community.

[@divhanimunyai5158]

+Luke Brusatori, if Trevor couldn't use the history of South Africa to his advantage he wouldn't have been where he is, and he would be an idiot. While 'most' young white South Africans use the privileges established for them in the past to go ahead, for most black people there's just the blackness to use in order to get through.

[@B-max.]

Dont worry Trevor, i dont have a revolutionary fridge idea either.

[@blobdragon2678]

i do, but I need roughly 3mil dollars to accomplish it. plan; 1 Ethiopian president. 2 reunite them with Eritrea and Somalia 3 connect Africa trough economy 4 unite Africa through military 5 unite Africa through culture 6 unite Africa to a single union. (USA..united states of Africa.)

[@ASFICK100]

We have no desire to ever be a union. If anything we wish the USA would break up and establish more definitive identities for the states and native people.

[@blobdragon2678]

why would you even suggest that...unions keep/make peace with the participants, you can look at any union ever made, and it will be more stable than when they were divided, case and point look at Germany, not too long ago this region used to be divided into many MANY small tribal states, and they were in constant war, but then they united and look at them now, much more stable, richer and stronger. and it goes for every union, like UK, USA, even Europe as a continent is much more stable after the creation of EU. a united Africa would be a global superpower without a dought, it would have the wealth of the resource-rich region of Kongo to foul its economy, which is equivalent to the USA and all of Europe combined! Yup, Kongo has a wealth, if tapped into, equal to that of America and Europe combined! and it will have the manpower to back up and protect that wealth. and a united Africa would not only bring the African people out of poverty but it will also boost world advancement with an estimated 4 billion people (by 2100) helping to make a better tomorrow.

[@lanmandragoran8337]

But....what do you put in your fridge?

[@ASFICK100]

A union would not work South Africa tried being a union and it ended up splitting of into 20 short lived states that was reabsorbed into 2 or more other republics. African people do not share cultural identity economic dependence strategic objectives or linguistic identity. It is a tribal continent with strong identities in concept only. Loyal only to interpersonal objectives. There is no confederation.

@Mr. X BY WHITES. Yeah, you can say it.

[@MrWookiemonster]

I relate to the part where he finds humour in even the most dire situations. Couple of years ago, I was walking down a road with some southeast asian friends ( I'm Indian ) in Tulsa. A truck full of people drove by and yelled, " GO back to your country terrorists!" Cue eye roll. Now don't get me wrong. No one should have to hear these kind of things. My friends were visibly upset. And I don't blame them. But I, on the other hand, burst out laughing. I found it amusing how stupid and ignorant racist people could be. If anything, they're missing out on the beauty that the world can offer. Their loss.

[@azizbelkharmoudi2564]

All Racists are so Dumb and stupid, as you said it amusing how stupid and ignorant racist people could be. so listen Racists if you are going to be a racist piece of shit study up, to at least be full of hate right!? Racists you are the slaves of ignorance, you are no longer interested in finding out the truth, the love. The ignorance has captured your Brains. you are rejecting the evidence of science that all humans are the same race with superficial differences, Race is an outdated social concept, We all evolved in the last 100,000 years from the same humans that migrated out of Africa and colonized the world. all the genes of our external appearance is in the range of .01 percent of the 3 billion DNA base pairs. so Racists let The beauty of knowledge destroys all the barriers within yourselves , make the knowledge the bridge between you and everything else in this world!!!!!!!!

I definently resonate with the belief that the world is getting better due to having more access to the internet and how that can be used. One of the ways i've noticed is that it can give non-verbal people a 'voice', it can give a house-bound person a life, a social life and in some cases even a career even though they're not able to get outside their own front door. It can also give people of a minority a voice in the majority, where they can be heard and listened to and THAT is a powerful thing. So yes, i think we have the tools to create a better future :)
