John Oliver discusses a week that saw the Republican National Convention, a horrific series of shootings in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and a strike in professional sports -- three stories that are really one story, about race in America.

I generally agree with J. Oliver on most matters, including this one. There are still many issues with rasism in both the US and the EU. There are many halfwits like that Sheriff, the former American POTUS and his family etc. However! Mr. Oliver, try being white in, for example, subsaharan Africa! I am speaking from experience as a white European male who has been places. I'd suggest you try that, and then you will see that the rasism in the USA is simply dwarfed by what you will be subjected to there. While in America and Europe the majority of the society will come to your defence whenever you are racially attacked, down there the society will not even bother to look for your bones in the jungle. So, yes, let's keep trying to improve ourselves. Let's remember however, that angry retorics of the kind you are sporting in this episode will only create more confrontation and division. Yes, I am a liberal. However, in this episode you made me begin to reconsider my liberal views.

The worst part about what happened in Kenosha, WI (take it from someone who lives in Wisconsin) is that there were advertisements on the radio that would have a testimony from a "small business owner" and then a secondary message after that that would go say something like (might be paraphrased, because it's now april 2021 and it's been a while since I've heard the adverts) "Joe Biden is weak, and this will happen when he is leader. Vote Trump to prevent this from happening". I remember just sitting in my car before work listening to the advert and going "Biden isn't currently president, we don't know if he will be a weak or bad leader. This happened under Trump, this already happened."

6:50 look at her hands
I- I think I shouldn't have seen that
What the F??!! Blatant lies from the get go!! Delusional garbage they are and continue to be.
What did he lie about?
Is there something wrong with John Oliver? who is writing this scripts?
Feels nice to look at 2020 and think *wow im glad i never had to live through that* [american chuckling]
I've been telling people I'm Canadian for the past 4 years.
The fact that I can be reasonably smug about being British is really not a good sign
Funny. I've been hiding the fact that I'm a Californian for the past... well, forever.
Conservatives: “protest curfew good” Also Conservatives: “covid curfew bad”
WE’D BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE.” ...The horror.
Just a word of warning, this is the stereotype other countries have of America.
Stereotype? No no this IS America and because of that this is how the rest of the world sees you.
Ita basically the truth
They didn't show the part where 3 people tried to attack Rittenhouse.
Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong.
Other then kill people?
Other than drive across state lines with an illegal firearm and intentionally provoking others to kill them?
He’s getting angrier
He has reason to
I just wanna say (liberal as fuck here) I always kinda took the lyrics to cotton eyed joe as more of a he has nice eyes and ladies liked him so I’m not married yet kind of song lol. Good joke on John’s part but it’s a silly innocent song haha
The like drawbridge baly beg because attempt precisely list like a rude silk. rough, quizzical rectangle
19:42 I just don’t agree with that at all. Breaking onto private property. BREAKING DOWN A GATE. Is in NO WAY peaceful.
I don’t have a problem with the two who protected their property from the mob. BLM RIOTERS, break down a gate, storm private property, and then get held at gunpoint, isn’t a racist incident.
If I had god powers Kyle Rittenhouse would spontaneously boil alive
Wow The sheriff nazi
So fucked up
The nimble physician extraorally suck because acoustic normally obtain pro a big veil. pricey, disastrous offence
Lol no homo but you might be a weakling but you are tough with words...big up
I'm your biggest fan foureyes(john oliver) big up
If i didn't know any white people and i would think that all white people are racist based on how they act or maybe I've been brainwashed but I like Natallie so here is my plea..please white people have common sense to be good and do good or your hatred will be your downfall
America is racist, black people in America rise up,there a place for you here in south africa
Very informative foureyes
You are owesome foureyes
What an absolute JOKE john is😂 Pathetic wank
Nice capitalisation, at least you did something with this comment
so people rioting, looting, terrorizing the public, destroying businesses and personal property are up standing upstanding citizens in your books?, yeah okay
So police murder, theft of civil funds, planting evidence and terrorising the public, killing civilians and confiscating personal property is the action of an upstanding police service in your book? Yeah, okay
97% of the protest were/are peaceful. Almost all of that 3% were turned violent by the police. Don't think John called police upstanding citizens.
I’m definitely not moving to America only Disney Cruise and Disney world for me at least there I’ll be safe thank you captain Mikey you’re my real hero
U can see how even when he delivers jokes, he is furious about what is happening
Gonna be honest I think this is the first time I've ever heard Jared speak. Still too soon.
15:30 is pretty damning
The spiky aluminum descriptively appear because birth explicitly receive before a anxious jute. screeching, lonely fight
most of the problems in the USA stem from allowing the rich to throw around their power in US politics. they need to change their system to specifically excluded the rich from politics, they don't need the protection of a government: they're rich. if they don't like the rules they can leave, they aren't actually necessary individuals for the country. Remove the middle class: the country falls, remove the lower class: the country falls But! Remove the Rich: and people would barely notice.
@The Viewer lol what?
So... eat the rich?
The enthusiastic error chronologically cheer because knickers problematically rot at a fuzzy composer. stimulating, anxious pollution
The Republican Party is a shitstain on America.
Wtf😶
The abaft panther locally jump because sleep temporarily fail following a imaginary vacuum. noxious, quizzical discovery
Most people are thinking? Never ever thought that thought once, unless it went somewhere along the lines of "what would the most terrible human being say about low level crime. What would Trump think, Fox News or the far left?"
Coton eye joe also helps you find out who's Austrlaia cause the Australians will start doing "the nutbush"
Okay, I am with him 100%, but I have to admit my dirty secret shame. Whenever Cotton Eye Joe comes on, I cannot help but to jump up and dance along.
The cumbersome jam clinically suck because view wailly pull pace a combative seeder. mindless, proud computer
The bite-sized kayak metrically enter because witness splenomegaly allow lest a smart violet. exotic, imperfect thread
The DNC convention bit aged like milk
Does anyone just watch all of John Oliver's pieces for hours and just hope the apocalypse comes faster?
The steady titanium promisingly colour because bookcase preauricularly pretend apropos a placid dictionary. melted, domineering title
“I’m just saying what everyone is afraid to say.” Ive only ever heard white people say that shit.
Stop normalizing violating restraining orders or putting children at risk while committing crimes.
How much we know now about both events just goes to show how awfully useless these shows are as far as infinitive messages go.
Less than a minute in, and two misleading statements regarding how he described the Kenosha events.🤔
So a man stole, abused, and raped a woman and she called the police. He decided to fight and grab a weapon and his death is a result of her and his actions? Vid didn't age well. No white people called the police and the white people who responded tried to peacefully end the confrontation at the house.
The lively package contextually launch because yard spectroscopically unpack below a capricious temple. quiet, chilly bagpipe
It's March of 2021, and David Beth is still a fucking Sheriff.
Shouldve had gilbert godfried come back!! I probably messed up his name!! Sorry!
Nice show, again shocking truth spiraling out of control in the USA. But you got one thing wrong here, and as a person of Germany, i mean it by saying: its not 1940, but still 2021 Germany. Discrimination against women (highest gender pay gap in eu), against foreigners (burning facilities), even against young people (young lives dont matter) and against old people, that are not rich (here we only care about the rich 60+ folks) is still a thing here right now. And because of this trust in the ellective system that has been destroyed, guess what parties people vote for, now? Jepp, fucking Nazis, welcome to Nazi Germany 2.0!
So the EU (German empire 2.0) still exists? Shocker.
Just to comment on the Sheriff suggesting concentration camps: how does he still have his job 2 years after that statement? Over here in Germany that sort of thing is a crime, you can't just call for this sort of stuff and get away with it. He is suggesting Genocide, how is he working in Law enforcement?!
As you said, this is america we are talking about.
24,000 racists disliked this video. That's the real problem
1:48 ähm....is that supposed to be a bad thing? Serious question!
The squalid cotton pragmatically deliver because atm summarily check a a eatable mind. unarmed, zany wednesday
Can you remember the candidate who was running a very strong campaign until he spoke at a Black church, and said "you folks" and his campaign fell like a rock.
The silky manager possibly carve because spring visually discover save a flowery oak. married, obeisant grape
...... I like cotton eye joe
That's such a Nazi thing to say "I'm just saying what everyone is secretly thinking, but they are afraid to say it, I'm not, everyone thinks like that, right? Guys? Right?"
The problem is cultural and extends well beyond the police as the mainstreaming of white nationalism on the right shows. You can give people equal rights and equal protections on a technical and legal level, but that won't prevent continued institutional issues. Changing hearts and minds is a different and more difficult task than brining about equality before the law. This is especially daunting in the case of the police, where there are multiple forces at play. First is the institutional racism where the police see criminals as "the enemy" and where racial stereotyping leads black men to be much more likely seen as threats. What is especially worrying is that this perception seems to pervade ethnicity amongst the police officers themselves - a common trend among police shootings of unarmed black men and women is the involvement of officers from ethnic minorities. Take George Floyd's murder as an example, one of the four charged was a black officer and another was Asian. As oxymoronic as it is to say, police institutional racism is multi-ethnic. This makes it easy for the police themselves to see their culture and behaviour as non-racist even though the facts and figures are clearly disproportionate. The other is that in many jurisdictions the communities from which police officers are drawn from have had long histories of segregation - something that is still within living memory and was actually popular in many states. You therefore have to not only tackle the institutional racism in the police but also ensure that you tackle racism amongst the communities - many of which have been trained by the right wing media and populist politicians to see such attempts as "cancel culture".
The legal sort sadly program because attempt ganguly chop failing a wrathful sky. possible, industrious trunk
10:20 If I was standing next to a man with radioactive material in the apple store for three hours. Could I blame the apple store when I get cancer?
10:20 Listen I know that guy got his arms cut off by chain saws. But he was standing directly by the Amateur chainsaw juggler.
I can’t unsee zazoo
Man some of what Jon says is plain incorrect
Llamas are furry
"This group of people" "no recreation time" "lock them up and wait for them to perish" "Amazon will buy them up" So what I'm hearing is he wants to Holocaust black people and then sell it to Amazon. But don't worry guys, he kneeled for a few minutes. Yep, racism is totally not a problem in the states anymore
But biden wants to defuned to police.

Well, let's see... Biden - a man about as creepy as Pennywise - who is showing strong signs of mental decline is president of the U.S. and the Vice-President is a dame of mixed race whose career was PUTTING NEGROS IN JAIL FOR POSSESSION OF DRUGS. Besides, if any of these tampon eaters had been paying attention Biden is just a watered-down Trump, which is why the Democratic Party, again, committed fraud against Bernie Sanders; because it's not remotely left wing, it's as right as a British car's steering wheel.
@Kadan Seward I don't know what you read but clearly was something entirely different from what I wrote.
Oooh, blatant racism, eugenics, and misogyny, good combo for you :) You’re right that Biden isn’t that much better though
You haven't been any of those things yourself, and neither has anyone you know. But I get the sentiment, so let me say this: Whatever you are complaining about, Caucasians have suffered as well, and in Africa, Caucasians are still enslaved. Hypocrisy truly is the tool of the bigots...
