White Plight | Full Frontal with Samantha Bee | TBS

Here's what happens when white Americans taste (what it's like to be part of) the rainbow.

[@legoinsomniac]

Fun fact, it's scientifically impossible to feel sorry for Bo Bice.

[@TrinityCourtStudios]

Lego Insomniac You mean Bob Ice

[@Moscato_Moscato]

I've been called worse things by my own parents than just "white boy"...

[@andthensome12]

Yes, we get it.. A minority beat you in life and now you want revenge by trolling the internet. Geeez pay for a therapy session.

[@AriJeru]

psh, not my dad's country, they won the war despite Reagan installing the dictator himself and funding the government forces.

[@kevinbooth-]

To any adequately 'privileged' group, equality seems like oppression. -- anonymous

[@jackdrive223]

not anonymous, the hate bigots at MTV came up with it, and they will get theirs just like you

[@acdnan]

jack drive lol

[@Inhuman0]

That rings true.

[@Wolfboss7]

Perfectly accurate.

[@kevinbooth-]

What is poor about the treatment? If it's been acceptable to treat the majority of other humans in that way, why not the supposedly privileged minority of the species? Our laws must be fair and equal regardless of the subject (person) it is applied to. Otherwise, things easily switch to where it is the will of the currently 'oppressed' which would be forced upon those currently 'privileged'. Turn about being fair play and all that. Really, you have to be daft to not recognize that to argue for anything but egalitarian laws and policies is to argue for your own subjugation.

[@mnbr6884]

tell me Bo is punking us all. I can't believe this is real.

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

if you excuse me, i'm gonna listen to some Wild Cherry... "Play that Funky Music, *White Boy~!"* OOPS! forgot the Trigger Warning...!

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

Fardang Malachoir All humans are different. We are all equal in some ways and better or worse in others. Granted I am better than you at everything, but that is beside the point.

[@TanviPurohit86551]

Fardang Malachoir That's you being sarcastic right???

[@factsabouturmum9250]

Echoes from the past: Do you know of any evidence to support the theory that Irish are equal to "real" white people, or do you just believe it because it makes you feel good?

[@modo1896]

Homini Lupus You can add Italians and other European immigrants as well. "White" meant something else back then than it does today.

[@ebuzzmiller34]

+Fardang Malachoir I believe in a thing called love Just listen to the rhythm of my heart There's a chance we could make it now We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down I believe in a thing called love Oooooooooooooooh!

[@minervaalexia6074]

Ah, white America. You never fail to entertain.

[@redmoon2786]

*correction* "Idiot America"

[@IliyaMoroumetz]

And Disappoint at the same time.

[@roodlesprease7659]

+Pyramid Builder Jr. - oh yeah?? well without blacks america would turn into... the first world beverly hills. so there. samantha can move into a black 'hood along with oedo-colbert

[@MondezDurden]

Jeez, and the ridiculous comments keep going. So whites are peaceful unless other people are around? Who's fault it that?

[@gordonjamescowiest]

John Whirling how is he generalising? They are acting like Nazis.

[@TommyCease-zd3qt]

There is no racial slur for white folks

[@lynpotter6471]

I can think of one off the top of my head. Literally one, but that's still something. No need to weaken an otherwise strong argument with hyperbole.

[@sdgdhpmbp]

Well, maybe not on the level of other races. They do certainly exist, but they're not that offensive.

[@ebuzzmiller34]

I'm Jewish , and trust me there's LOTS. It's all ethnicity and religious based though.

[@ebuzzmiller34]

Pyramid Builder Jr. I'm not! This explains my natural rhythm!

[@ebuzzmiller34]

Pyramid Builder Jr. Projection much?

[@nicolettem8024]

I'm completely appalled that Arkansas wasn't desegregated until 1970. And, that Mr. Wilbourn had to apologize for something so absurd. If he's 73, that means he lived through segregation and probably witnessed things anyone here reading this comment couldn't even imagine happening today. Mr. Bice, I pity your naiveté. There's a food service worker now out of a paycheck. Shameful.

[@DuckYou69]

White Boy Bo needs to grow a pair

[@DuckYou69]

Do you believe in life after love I can feel something inside me say I really don't think you're strong enough Do you believe in life after love I can feel something inside me say I really don't think you're strong enough

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

Fardang Malachoir I believe that you just made a dirty white boy fool of yourself.

[@Snardvark25]

MASTER VADER Thank you for that.

[@nelsonvecchione2621]

I think that the 3 people that bought his music in 2016 should get a refund...

[@Lorenzo1972.]

MASTER VADER Right on! Now that I know that liberals are against white males, I'm growing a pair and joining the other team. Keep it up liberals! I was on your team my entire life but now you've shown me your hypocrisy.

[@ShannonJacobs0]

He makes me ashamed to have a similar skin color. In contrast, Huckabee makes me ashamed to be a human being.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

"Wake up and smell the falafel."

[@ShannonJacobs0]

CN what I'm Saiyan? Eh? Some kind of O'Reilly joke?

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

Huckabee said that, actually

[@undeadly]

I immediately went to Popeyes and bought dinner, Bice can go cry into a butter buiscit.

[@brespeed3633]

Surviving Dysphoria 😂😂😂😂😂

[@mrweatherby]

God I wish I had a Popeyes where I live. Best fast food fried chicken, hands down. Their fries also taste stupidly good in cocktail sauce, for some reason.

[@Vidim12]

sorry late to the conversation. If someone call a black man "black boy" in today's social climate there woulnd be a hashtag around it. I found myself disliking then un-disliking as the video played out. I'm not saying he isn't a snowflake, he's just the one on the "other side" of it.

[@Vidim12]

however never liking as this is hyperbolic

[@MurrayTheMac]

_OHhello It's ok, I read your comment and then liked the video on account of it, so I liked for you :-)

[@royalewithcheese7]

Calling someone "white boy" isn't discrimination, it is literally describing someone's appearance

[@seanpepe494]

so start saying "black boy" to black people. You wont, cuz its derogatory

[@WhiteElvenDragon]

"How're you gonna pull me over indoors?!" Haha had me rolling!

[@leonnoel9501]

"It's what we on white Facebook call 'starting a dialog'." 😂

[@thenobleandmightybeaver4411]

Can we start calling it the W-word?

[@brespeed3633]

[@richardknapp8322]

Oh grow up.

[@mzboombartender5289]

I'm African American and I do think it was rude to call him white boy but to go to the media and start a rant about it was absurd. just tell their manager or call corporate. better yet, don't go to that Popeyes anymore. boom! problem solved. get over it. he was just looking for another 5 min of fame.

[@grendelum]

MZ BOOMBOSTIC - I am sure his account of them _“making fun of his name for 5 minutes”_ is wholly blown out of proportion (seriously, I imagine 45s tops) and the _”white boy”_ wasn’t aimed at him... she didn’t say _”here’s your food white boy”_ but rather directed a coworker to _”that white boy over there”..._ context matters.

[@Borderlines]

Where tf is your blazer? I am outraged! You swore!

[@themaster408]

This is one of my favorite segments so far that she's done. I have some friends that are like this.

[@jay_islove85]

He's not crying. I cannot!

[@archersterling5919]

As a white person I'd like to say just one thing. You can be proud of your white heritage, just don't join any of the clubs.

[@CHEETAH69]

please. black folks don't need any group affirming themselves in this country. it's not like there's a history of systemic racism that has lasted for centuries that would lead any of them to feel less than capable, worthy or welcome in this great land.

[@MasteIsIllmatic]

I agree.You should have some form of pride in your hermitage But why do white people want to be white? You think black people want to be black? No way, many would rather be Nigerian american, South African american, Ghanaian American, Ivory coast american etc. I mean if you think about it, Most white people claim to be Irish american, German american, welsh american,English american etc. You can find channels called Irish Tv, German american tv programs, Italian American cooking channels etc. Black is one of the youngest culture groups on earth. They are literally creating their culture on the fly because they were striped of their original culture.

[@occams_blazer]

I don't get the 'proud of white heritage' part. Like, white people exist at extreme northern and southern latitudes and isn't actually any kind of definable 'heritage' like nationality or ethnicity. I'm white and I take no pride in being white, but find my family history to be of some interest. The family history has _nothing_ to do with skin colour, though. People who are proud to be white just make me think they're actually saying they're relieved that they're white.

[@tonydamico8075]

+cheesesux Yeah, white is not a heritage. German, Irish, Italian, Norwegian etc are heritages but hundreds of years ago nobody in Europe was calling themselves white. Whiteness only came about when European "explorers" started going abroad and looking for excuses to exploit people in other parts of the world.

[@Malaika924]

+Tony D'Amico, +cheesesux : I wish I could I give you both more than 1 like.

[@MeCrazy516]

[@ProdigalGeek]

Best way to start my new year! Welcome back, Sam Bee!

[@willthbeast2227]

[@mrspone1000]

nope he is a yank

[@genghiskahl4102]

Probably.

[@ElleKelsheimer]

Well, kinda. He's doing this to get attention from a certain group of people so they'll buy his album.

[@samuelluria4744]

Kevin Kibble - You're so funny.

[@somethinggrand144]

Ben elliot first you need to say sorry for slavery and curnal Sanders Then you can eat fried chicken I'm joking

[@Saliiraan]

Somebody calls him something, and he cries. Yeah he is clearly not a boy.

[@MsZephyra]

Was the employee even saying "white boy" maliciously or condescendingly?? Probably not. She was simply identifying him to her colleague, as he might have been the only white person in his general area. Surprise, we're not a colorblind society. As for "boy" - well, I'd say he was a man, but that crying stunt he pulled is not going to convince me otherwise...that is the very definition of white fragility. God help us all. And the poor woman got fired from her job over it. SMH

[@scottspa74]

this was pure genius, all the way thru. word play, double entendre as , all the way thru then pulling it all back together. genius. I love it, bee.

[@PartisanGamer]

I never thought the day Id say this would ever come ... but that Bo Bice ... that is a beta male if there ever was one.

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

PartisanGamer Nah, I think he's just desperate for attention.

[@pop-popfpv237]

More like a beta fish in a very small bowl.

[@CptnJCFG]

Black twitter is funny and all, but white facebook is where the real struggle is. That man was called a white boy, how does he not move to Canada the next day after that event?

[@AdrianColley]

Effortlessly the best thing on KZbin once again.

[@keenasena2804]

Thank you for this Samantha! Looking forward to watching more videos with a shift in perspectives.

[@bspencer471]

I'm so glad you're back with your show Samantha. December was very long without you.

[@rampartrod]

no one buys his music...sad

[@rutherfurdcovers]

Oh samantha, it's good to have you back

[@nostanater1]

I've watched three of these so far, and i am yet to have laughed or even smiled.

[@HITMANPegas]

Now if we minorities can't say "White boy" then who is going to play the funky music? Well belated Happy Holidays everyone. TRIGGERED!!!!

[@OzTheOkay]

I almost feel obligated to search for that clip of Huckabee just to make sure it was not, in fact, an SNL sketch.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

Oscar Cuadra You should check out that clip on the daily show (it's the one with a bunch of food in the thumbnail

[@stephanielogan9161]

Love the new barbershop quartet. Perfect incongruity.

[@bgregs2k9]

Gotta LOVE the barbershop quartet!

[@thenakedpotter]

I appreciate you Sam Bee! Thanks for sharing your voice of rationality and critical thinking!

[@notimportant8806]

why isn't this on comedy Central? with this time slot changes, this is bound to get cancelled on tbs.

[@AlanUK78]

I love you Samantha. the wittiest, snappiest comedian on TV right now. love from London, UK. I'd say move over here to escape America's crazy situation but alas more dumb people here too bored for Brexit so it's no safer this side of the pond...

[@mesocylon]

Already have a favourite segment. Welcome back, Sam Bee!

[@vagabondbodhi6796]

You're the absolute best! Love the show, glad to have you back!

[@naphthaitalia]

I died when he started crying.😂😂😂💀

[@BellaWorldAni]

Bo Bice. My goodness. Bless your heart. That's all I can say. Got nothing else. SMH.

[@FiddlebirdBlue]

I don't think blessing is what he needs. Maybe some history courses.

[@harryk8696]

still the greatest sam bee sketch. so funny

[@emmanuelgoldstein9806]

Loving the condescension towards people much worse off than you within the first 30 seconds, truly classy

[@Kilee33]

Wow he cried literal white tears

[@thenobleandmightybeaver4411]

Would Bo Bice, or anyone else, notice if he were boycotted? I have never heard of this guy...ever.

[@willweeverknow3411]

Just seen this and love it! She's a savage for giving you the cold hard truth with some humor 🖖🏾

[@timmer14414]

Love you Sam. Humor and exceptional wit paired with the video clips. I watch everything you upload to KZbin. 👍

[@Motivation_Instigation]

Huckabee tho.... that's just comedy gold right there.

[@Newfiecat]

... People were uncomfortable with servers calling them "honey" and "darlin"? I'm just.... In Newfoundland, complete strangers call each other "my love"! Well in Newfie dialect it's more like "What can I get you, m'love?"

[@kristeenagearhart3318]

Samantha Bee, I love your show! Thank you for sharing your insight and pointing out idiocracy!

[@superiormeh]

dayum i cant believe ive been sleeping on this show. its just like the daily show hella funny and hella informative

[@variansloth]

I had to look away when he started crying dear lord I want him to be faking it to bring in more attention for sales but I know people who are serious about this anyway so either way it's too much.

[@ReeseLeigh]

When he started crying I laughed for a solid 5 mins.

[@INTJadeSpider]

I'm so glad that this show is back.

[@LILaw-db9yr]

Lol, i HAVE to watch Sam Bee's show. so many stories from Georgia...

[@alyssabennette369]

Oh my god, the newscaster bitching about the Popeye staff calling him "honey" and "darlin". Welcome to our world!!!! Poor baby.

[@kparcparc4230]

I am so ashamed. Wait I'm Canadian.

[@k.p.c7779]

😂😂😂 you are hilarious.

[@danielaviera04]

I think his point is that if someone yelled: "he's already got his! That black boy over there!" people would freak out. Calling someone a whit boy is ok, calling someone a black boy is ok, why because pointing out your race in order to describe you is perfectly fine!

Wonderful segment, Samantha. Thank you

[@fredchopin2776]

here is a quote from teaching nonviolent atonement blog from yesterday. I thought this was relevant to this discussion. >... the greatest position of power is found with the victim. The anthropologist René Girard explains this phenomenon. He states that the claim to be a victim is unique to the modern world. In no other period in human history have we seen this competition to be the greatest victim. Girard writes in his book I See Satan Fall Like Lightning, “The concern for victims has become a paradoxical competition of mimetic rivalries, of opponents continually trying to outbid one another.” Each side makes the same claim to being a victim. It’s what Girard calls “mimetic doubling.”

[@Nobody-wo5mb]

The biggest reaction Bo should have had to being called a white boy would be that knowing look that Jim Halpert from The Office gives the camera when Michael Scott says something dumb.

[@Lorenzo1972.]

As a former lifetime progressive liberal, I thought I was part of an ideology. Now I'm seeing repeated use of "you're just a white man", "check your privilege" and one of my recent favourites, MTV's "new year resolutions for white guys", I guess I'm being told I'm in the wrong party. Thanks for further perpetuating a new ideology that will put Trump in office for 8 years.

[@robertcollins2304]

keep up the good work Sam Bee!!!!

[@12345678abracadabra]

I think I speak for both me and Sam that we're glad the election is over. Even Sam said she was tired of covering the election.

[@xmox2950]

I didn't read all the comments, but going by what I see, the overwhelming absence of angry (racist) white people who usually troll this channel, means, I guess, Samantha Bee totally slayed.

[@bobbinsthethird]

So Jeff Sessions is bad when he calls a black colleague "boy". But it's not a racial remark? I don't get it, someone explain

[@happylikeanoldtimemovie]

JC Denton There's a racist history behind calling black males "boy". There isn't a racist history behind calling white males "boy". So that's the difference it's just most people aren't aware of that history so they understandably don't get what the difference is. But there is a difference because our white ancestors took words that seem random to us nowadays and used them in incredibly racist fashion. And Jeff Sessions is old, racist, and old school southern so he probably was using it as a slur.

[@bobbinsthethird]

So then you're admitting Boy is a racial remark then. so the lawsuit was legitimate

[@happylikeanoldtimemovie]

JC Denton "Boy" has racist undertones when used to refer to black men, it has no such history or undertone with white men. I'm not going to repeat myself any more.

[@bobbinsthethird]

[@ArielG5000]
