[@mikialama]

She isn't doing an interview--she's attempting to deliver a monologue in an attempt to scold and make him look bad. He handles it beautifully!

[@preacherno]

You just very precisely defined the format of HARDtalk. It’s not interview, it’s preaching.

[@thingsstuffandetc]

That's because there's nothing for him TO handle. This interviewer was really trying to force him into a logic hole about how his reinforced observations on race and equality and comedy could and should be nullified because they MAY not match anyone else's. Trevor did what he does best. Enforce the commonalities, push the narrative that we are all going in this roller coaster ride a little differently, but we're all in the same cart. This interviewer really seems to want to disseminate rather than allow for joy. Lot of easy to break straw man accusations from her. Then again this feels like this was done at the peak of social media craze to bring everybody down, so...

[@BipolarVirgo]

Absolutely

[@tinajkpan9649]

I agreed with you. Trevor is an intelligent young man. She is talking about what he said from his experience here in the United States.

[@daizeedee1202]

Sorry. He's talking riddiles to not take ownership of his 'comedy' as it is interpreted by those people who have both covert and overt racist thinking...

[@luxusmode111]

She’s not listening to him at all. She was supposed to interview him, but clearly she had a other motives. Trevor handled this spectacularly.

[@franciswynn1929]

Strangely enough I watched another Trevor Noah interview where he was asked about how he interviews those who are diametrically opposed to him and his answer was that he tries to listen

[@TheBluebus17]

thats the bbc for you

[@victortaudinchabot351]

Her other motives were the reason for this interview. Create a difference between people and make him look bad. Create a great title about it and sell it. Not have a notion of nuance and context. You can see she actually agrees with Trevor, but in het role she is not allowed to be persuaded.

How is this lady actually trying to school a mixed person who grew up in apartheid South African about what racism is. You can’t make this up 🤦‍♂️

[@mariamichael6874]

The problem is apartheid wasn't about Black South Africans only. That's the perception around the world. It was about non whites. White and non whites. We were all victims ...and I don't use this word lightly. We were oppressed in so many ways. If only I could tell you my experience living in Apartheid South Africa. It could be a lengthy discussion. A book in the making. 🤔

[@nikilandella6136]

More than that, it was about Racists vs non racists. Even if you were white and anti-racist you could end up in solitary confinement and tortured. Even if you werent white, and were proracism, you could work for the Apartheid govt. Some notable examples: The entire Mandela soccer club was spying on Mama Winnie for the Apartheid government. Whereas Bram Fischer spent his life in prison.

[@kstone6381]

Excellent explanation by Trevor

[@BLew657]

"How your action is implied does not define what you are doing". That's poetry right there 👌 👏

[@aowrya]

I thought the same thing! Beautiful nugget of truth rolled out as smooth as milk chocolate 🤌🏽 😉

[@julietwolf9464]

I understand what he meant, but the word he ought to have used was inferred. I used to mix imply and infer up for most of my life, then I learned the difference: •implying is done by the person speaking or carrying out an action, and what they imply is the unspoken message they intend the recipient(s) of the words or action to understand. •inferring is done by the person hearing someone else’s words or affected by someone’s action, and what that recipient infers is the unspoken message they perceive from those words or that action. In other words, to imply is to intend an unspoken message, to infer is to perceive an unspoken message. There is a huge difference between the two things, and room for a miles-wide chasm of misunderstanding between the intent and the perception.

[@BLew657]

@julietwolf9464 Yeah everyone else understands what he meant too 👍

[@tdubshub63]

She wasn't listening to understand, she was attacking, accusing, interrupting and interrogating Trevor. Loved the way that he calmly and graciously warded off her biased agenda.

This lady is exhausting. She’s pushing so hard to make Trevor feel ashamed of doing nothing wrong. I’m so glad Trevor rose above it.

[@VoloxTV]

I'm not so sure. I don't think just because she is asking hard questions that she's personally out for him. Interviews like these imo are important because they give people like Trevor the opportunity to articulate why they do what they do and where they see their boundaries. Sure, she pushes hard, but that's her job. Without her exaustive probing, we wouldn't have heard Trevor expressing his beliefs the way we have here.

I admire him cuz he doesn't just refrain from getting mad at her and snapping back, he responds with genuine kindness and seems to not have any feelings of anger to hold back much at all. He's been through so much, so I honestly believe that helped mold him into the person he is now. It's strange to me how hard things can often make us into better people.

Nah no need to kiss ass just because you’re a fan. As an African I have known Trevor for many years before he moved to America and y’all got to know him. He used to do some VERY offensive jokes. That was his style. He moderated when he got to Comedy Central because of the crybaby cancel culture in the US but that’s the type of comedian he used to be. I’m not mad at it because I do believe comedians should be allowed to be a little offensive..that’s the whole fun for me. But don’t act like this woman’s questions are not valid. All Trevor needed to say was that he has evolved as a comedian and is in a different place now that warrants a different approach to his comedy. That’s the correct answer. But he bamboozles y’all with big grammar and y’all are like “wooow he’s right” lol. This man has gone after conservatives in the US for saying far less offensive things. There is no difference between his chocolate joke and the other guy’s leaking chocolate joke no matter how much he tries to explain with fancy grammar.

They seem to have a just a very bad attitude, that nothing good can develope where they're not forcing it to. As if humanity (or in some sense white humans) was thoroughly bad, and it's all driven by some conspiracy that's going on in every single mind (or "white mind"). This is already getting too long😅 So to summon up: they seem to think every white person is a monster with having only in mind to put itself above every other race. And that every other "race" was just to incompetent to withstand that oppression.... And that seems very racist and unfair to everybody on this planet.

Really this is a masterclass on how not to conduct an interview. Be rude, frequently interrupt your guest when they answer a question, don't follow up on their answer but instead swing the conversation to your next talking point, and try to guide them into a minefield so when they trip on one you can say 'aha, you see you are wrong and a bad person and I am the good one because I get to point out how wrong you are'.

[@leestringer]

This is the job of narrative based media, which is all corporate legacy media. They have a narrative to push to appeal to their base, and the truth is irrelevant. The easiest way to spot it is this: They ask a question. If the person responding flails and doesn't have a sufficient answer, let them go on for as long as possible so that they completely make a fool of themselves. BUT if they start making a good point (as Trevor did) try to cut them off and move to the next question. It's the easiest tell-tale sign to spot the difference between independent journalists looking for the truth as you see in podcasts and some youTube channels, and hacks looking to push a narrative as you see in Network television interviews. And it doesn't matter what side it's on, conservative or liberal.
