Jon Stewart the problem with white people
- Thread starter Dusty Bake Activate
- Start date
I'm glad Jon is back...he's very good at covering the media and topics
lol @ that montage in the beginning.
Real shyt...I don't thin that the Reparations talk from ADOS is loud enough. Like, every single person with a microphone or any eyes on them needs to be on code about this.

Huh?
Our mistreatment is the main dysfunction in this country assuming you're black
All he does is highlight our mistreatment for liberals to laugh so they can feel better without doing jack shyt

Would you prefer it if the topic weren't covered and he focused only on White problems?Our mistreatment is the main dysfunction in this country assuming you're black

Yes I would
I don't consider what he's doing spreading awareness... if the group he's speaking to are watching from an entertainment pov.
Can you understand that?

You realize that awareness is spread via exposure.
They may have come for the entertainment, but they leave aware of something they didn't know.
Many people learn about historical events through movies, for example.
Why isn't what he's doing spreading awareness to his audience? I don't understand what you mean because it's literally what he's doing...
I'm just trying to follow your logic
Yeah I wasn’t too happy at all the guffawing in the background.He's good at making white people laugh at this countries dysfunction

Great message but designed to stroke the guilty consciences of white liberals.

This episode was amazing, and the debate he had with Andrew Sullivan also illustrated the issue perfectly. There is a deeply ingrained mental block (to me a symptom of negrophobia) that prevent folks from thinking rationally about the race issue in America. It seeped into the culture like CO² in the atmosphere, and now it seems almost impossible to put away.
I'll say this though: I think that some white liberals, such as one of the guests they had on the panel whose name was Lisa-something (sorry), muddy the discussion's waters, as well intentionned they might be.
They are a plethora of grounded facts and analyses that show how structural racism was built and operate to this day. I believe as of now that compared to these, argumentative constructs such as white privilege, or side-issues like media representation, or even white bias and interpersonal racism in some cases, are useless or even harmful when it comes to the discourse, in the sense that they present a weaker, more convoluted flank that distract from the core of the issue.

He also had a great discussion with Bryan Stevenson on the subject.
