Trevor Noah brought on several guests to The Daily Show on Tuesday night for a roundtable discussion on the recent protests against police brutality and what demonstrators’ calls for “defunding” or “abolishing” the police actually mean.
Black Lives Matter Co-founder Patrisse Cullors noted that the movement to end systemic racism in the U.S. has radically shifted over the past seven years since Blm was created. It’s no longer enough for elected officials to say “black lives matter” over “all lives matter” — those words have to have substance and real policy change behind them.

Black History Month has gotten off to a rocky start this year, and white people fully deserve the blame. Between Virginia hosting not one, but two politicians who have donned blackface, and Liam Neeson openly admitting to once seeking to kill a black man, white ignorance has threatened to overshadow the already too short month in the year that celebrates African American contributions to this country. Thankfully, at least one white person is aiming to correct the imbalance. “Full Frontal With Samantha Bee” will release a Black History Month segment peppered with equal amounts laughs and facts, which IndieWire is debuting exclusively.
Titled “Great Moments in Black History,” the segment is told from a clueless white person’s perspective. As a disembodied voice (segment producer Adam Howard) asks ridiculous questions from behind the camera, the best and brightest black comedians and political commentators patiently school the dweeb, who clearly represents collective white nonsense.
