"The bird is no Mariah!" Ha-ha-ha-haaaa-ha-ha-ha! Good stuff!

Doesn’t matter cause republicans will always blame poor people for their own decisions in life rather than how the system is set up for minorities to fail. Regardless the real issue isn’t race, the bottom line is rich people have too much power in this country and aren’t held accountable for their unchecked greed.

I hate how loud you are making me scream at my computer.

Regardless of what they did???? Even if they molested a child???

I love that John Oliver's pettiness has no limits

Remember, if you vote Conservative, you vote for pedophilia.

Top notch stuff as always, Mr. Oliver. Brilliant, thanks.

Yeah. They are giving it back now that climate change sea level rising and beach erosion is on the raise. Plus people and businesses are going to start moving away.

They did the same with the Mexicans that lived on the Dodgers stadium.

And yet I still hear maga cult coworkers say racism doesn't really exist. They really are delusional and willfully ignorant af

thank u for this

Though I agree with everything a $15k tax credit will help poor people more than others.

I don’t hear anyone laughing

Aaah he said Mitch and not B***

and a lot of Americans still deny racism exists

"How stupid do you think your audience is?" Oh, he knows.

Like every other limousine liberal...I'm sure ol jonny lives in a gated community far away from the nearest black neighborhood. In fact I guarantee it

Remember when John Oliver was good, I miss those days

While we are all fighting over pennies the actual plutocratic globalist problem that is corporatism us found the one percent doubling their money. Pretending that current economic potential is at all limited in the manner it was before is absurd. If you have a cell phone and can read then you are able to take advantage of the limitless potential of various economic possibilities that can in no way shape or form be aware of your intersectional qualities: if you have a few hundred bucks there are ways to flip that and make sales on platforms like eBay and the profits can be exponentially increased with generally little more than an understanding of something like basic electronics repair where you can take trash from the dump and sell it. I took a 20 dollar box of junk and sold it for 8k. Until I began doing this I couldn’t find work due to my background because of who my father was.

I wish he had brought up Kennesaw Georgia and Cobb county creating a "buffer county" to prevent black people and other "undesirables" from purchasing homes and using public transportation to move there.

Seems like there should be a sea shanty about this guy. The original words are below, but I'm sure someone could make a more creative version "Soon may the Dillerman come, To bring us sugar and tea and rum, One day, when the touguin' is done, We'll take our leave and go."

It’s weird seeing this in 2021 and seeing all that’s changed in that time

Rose the G.O.A.T!!!!!

7:27 CHAIIIIIIIIIIN MIGRATION

The problem is that we're in an era where all races are barely keeping our heads above water and it's getting worse for everyone, regardless of race. So, if America decided to finally help poor people but only the small percent of poor people who are of African decent, will there also come a time when we finally decide to address the growing wealth gap for every race or will it be too late because we're now entering Hunger Games? We're living in a dumpster fire and unfortunately the mistakes of our past can only be fixed, now, by helping everyone, not just the few who were hurt the most. BTW we just added billions to the military because, again, Hunger Games is the depressing nightmare we're heading towards. All of us. You're saying we should fix our dangling pinky toe because it was injured first but not sure what to do about our bloody severed dangling leg the toe is connected to.

Lets not forget, Mitch, that the Civil War you're using as a landmark for Black equality was started by the people who wanted to keep them oppressed, and it took at least another century for the other two things to happen, with that time in the middle being filled with more oppression. Oh how far we have come.

The USA is a fantastic story of Marketing over reality - how genocide if done successfully enough really is forever.

Even that 25k free to spend on anything would be like putting a bandaid on a malignant tumor

I encountered heinous discrimination trying to rent when I had a baby, not to mention a Hispanic last name. It was awful. I was left me feeling helpless and confused by people suddenly not talking to me. I had PTSD.

If the government can get away with what they did in Waco to my father and siblings and simultaneously pay one of their own guys millions of dollars for mental damages over calling him a liar about warning them to call it off which is gross negligence and proves the entire situation was avoidable, how can justice be found anywhere? They broadcast the murder of my half siblings and torture of a vindictive and reckless nature and were found to be lying more times than I can count, but have we received a semblance of justice? Nope… just gaslit. My grandmother is still unable to retire. They destroyed our assets and coerced false and twisted confessions… Hey, fun fact: “if the branch davidians were black… blah blah blah.” Do some research! More than the per capita population of the United States were not only black but multinational…. Got to love racism of low expectations and projection!

Yet another great episode!

There shouldn't be any kind of running out the clock on an issue like this, and acting like you can is pretty abhorrent, to say the least. Just because the US ran out the clock on reparations for slavery by not doing anything until all those affected are dead doesn't mean we should just shrug and do nothing about it. If you hate the idea of reparations because you didn't take part in anything that would be cause for reparations, I get the feeling, but think about this: You shouldn't be mad at the idea of reparations, you should be mad at the piece of shits that came before that caused the problems and/or did little to nothing to fix the problems and/or repay the damages.

We it might be time to ask oj about this...lol

Imagine thinking a whistle blower was a bad thing?

These Jokes Man, I love the Information but Them Jokes Make me CRINGE so hard that i can't finish them

Murica announcing their entire system is stupid. In real time

Murica announcing they suck.

Så er vi ligesom igang hahahaha

Tucker Carlson makes me want to bash my head against a wall. Maybe if I have a concussion he's bullshit will make sense for once.

INDIAN AMERICANS GET THE MOST DISCRIMINATION BCOZ THEY AREN'T EVEN CONSIDERED ASIAN BY OTHER ASIAN DIASPORA LIKE CHINESE, KOREAN & JAPANESE

"We truly live in the best possible system" Come on John... That was a perfect "Darkest Timeline" moment!

Going do men vs women wage next? :)

The Chinese dilemma is diversity and the inability of CCP to control the regions. Decentralization runs the risk of disintegration like the former USSR. Hence the need to control Uiqhurs. I am no fan of big governments, which are often part of the problem rather than the solution. On awareness, John is right. Our values, beliefs, and awareness mold our attitudes and behaviors.

I come from a humble ancestry, most of my family were poor until the latter half of the 20th century. One of my grandmothers grew up in a tent, and I was the first generation to go to college. So do I have an appetite to contribute tax dollars to make amends for the actions of other people's ancestors? Not really. Treating people differently due to the color of their skin is racist, but its totally OK if the gesture is positive for the person of different ethnicity?

I resent Ayn Rand projecting that we all think like her. Yet, I appreciate she seems to be honest about herself compared to other people who feel the same way as her who pretend to have an altruistic vision but obviously they do not. Yet, there a lot of people who do have an altruistic vision, are marginalized by her type of projections and need guidance to advance that altruistic base in themselves but Ayn Rand just promotes one archetype assuming we are all the same. Her philosophy is extremely damaging for some but helps others. The "damaging" part is that Ayn Rand makes these people think that everyone feels like she does and we are all different. Too many people are limited and hurt by her "one size fits all" philosophy. There are very few descendants of Frank Lloyd Wright but if you find them and ask them about Ayn Rand, they will be hard to find because they like to stay in the "shadows" but, they all have different political perspectives and none are like what Ayn Rand tried to insist FLW was. Frank Lloyd Wright grew up in Wisconsin and if you know history, Wisconsin functioned very well under their unique "progressive capitalistic" government and it was nothing like Ayn Rand's philosophy. So they thought that she was just a stupid sociopath. She was a relentless stalker of that family and wanted publicity for her book. Her stalking was around establishing a paradigm to prove her unfound philosophy of generalizing human nature to prove "all humans" think like her; which I agree works for some and that is great but not for everyone and definitely not for Frank Lloyd Wright or not even for most people. Her vision of society is extremely limited and not what actually works for everyone and not a holistic philosophy. We need to maximize everyone's potential and she just represents a fraction of people. Ayn Rand was a sociopath for sure. If you identify with her philosophy, that is fine and in no way means you are a sociopath but realize that not everyone functions in that way. We need ALL types collectively as well as people who act individually. Just open you minds and realize that our society needs everyone and we all think differently. Additionally, that is what our economy needs too but without the sociopathy and ego like Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand had nothing real or factual to base her ideas besides it applying to a small portion of humans who choose that philosophy because it works for them. I am just saying if you like her ideas and relate to it, we need people like you but we need people with all different perspectives and she does not represent all human perspectives, like her sociopathic mind processes things. We need to accept all people who contribute to our society, not just her type. So learn how to identify the "fakes" and understand the truth and not everyone is pretending to be humanistic to advance their selfish motives. Its obvious, just the mere perspective that everyone is like Ayn and the hypocrites who are also actually like Ayn, are just pretending to be altruistic but just because people pretend to be humanistic, that is not the actuality. She does call out "the fakes" who do exist and it is a problem but that does not apply to most people. It only applies to people who became successful based on their humanistic charade and without a doubt that is extremely damaging. If you are angry about that you have every right to be angry but there are people who actually are like how the fake humanists portray themselves. The altruistic fakes do get away with it because they can fool the "real" people whose perception that people think about others first like they do. It is sad but Ayn Rand is waste of anyone's time.

I fuckin love those OG ladies turning up on their porches in 1970 together regardless of color. That shit made me tear up a little bit. Fuck the bullshit.

Frankly, as an "ethnic" person in the middle who has to dodge bullets from both whites and blacks, I don't really care that much when the prejudices that I experience are ignored. You want to talk about reparations? What about Mexican-Americans, most of them born in this country, who were rounded-up and "repatriated" back to Mexico from 1929 to 1936 with little more than what they could carry? Of course no one has ever heard of this.

If the plural of octopus is octopedes, is the plural of pegasus still pegasi?

12:40 The black population at the time was only 10.5%, which makes the "2%" statistic still bad, but much less impressive sounding.

Im a poor white person wheres my help?

so much🐮💩

Who gives a shit if your black or white anymore

The 1% of rich in the world are trying to do the same thing for Tirico they did to Venezuela. They build it up they build factories they get no taxes because it's not included as a state just a territory of the United States. They built factories their Corporate America they made tons of money there and then they had all the tourist in all those things going on and then they destroy it. They start a coup and when they take over they get 50% of all the prophets in that country. You know the one percent that caused all this. You know the Antichrist like Donald Trump period and all of his silly little sheep following him. Stop this nonsense now. You can't use them and then throw them away like there nothing to us. That's what the trumper's and the rich 1% of the world do. Everyone's Expendable as long as they can make money off of people's death and misery. Follow the teachings of Christ that's God solution. Or won't your ego let you admit that there's someone greater than man. Silly little Antichrist

Snoop would probably have to jump to see over the wall. Our eyes are about 5 inches below the tops of our heads.

I'm from the future, ... You ain't seen NOTHING yet!!!!!!

Bonus poetic justice points if reparation money came from defunding the police/prison industrial complex (wishful thinking, I know)

The incompetent door dolly sneeze because drug enzymatically squash off a sour cart. highfalutin, selfish network

When John said “No you haven’t Melissa” I felt that

How much u wanna be all 4100 dis likes are white

Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! What will you say to God about your obvious racism when you stand before Him?

You Americans let the childrens cut open frogs, a bit disgusting for what in there later life will they need this..

Holy shit man that speech at the end was powerful as fuck. Chills and tears and it Is currently 3:40AM and I’m sitting here alone and in silence because clicking into the next video seemed in a sense rude. Gonna sit here for a while I think.

looks like americans in the 30´s would have loved living in Germany

I want to talk about that statement by Biden stating its "for everyone" John here argues that it should be given only to african americans - on the basis that this group was excluded from home ownership - so they now should be given that option. I think the fallacy here is that because one subgroup is affected over proportionally they are the only ones affected. The financial advantage of owning a house is drastic, and can IMO rightfully be seen as unfair if heritable (which is where i would start fixing the law) Therefore all those who profited from those loans back then are now better off. While those who do not have a home are all equally screwed. If we were to now make a law that gives something to one subgroup and not the other we would simply introduce another discrimination that doesn't compensate for anything. We shouldn't give money to those who already have it, and instead to those who do not have it, REGARDLESS of their color of skin, religion, orientation or any other group filter. If we don't do that then we will be telling some people that due to the color of their skin, even thou they are in a terrible position because of the choices of others decades ago they will be discriminated against - and that's just not right. So yea i disagree with you there John, it should be for everyone who doesn't have a house. Because those are the people who are now screwed because of the choices in the past. We should move past identifying the well being of an individual based on the well being of its filter groups. Just because some individuals of a group are well off doesn't help those who are not. Just like Mitch saying that electing Obama fixes discrimination is BS.

Reparations are the only way we can begin to heal our nation, and remove the racial tumor … it’s time for America to hold itself accountable for the overwhelming discrimination, which present day the rich republicans and democrats are discriminating against people of color and the working class of all colors, meanwhile the country is losing its moral compass and becoming irrational as a society and nation. It’s time to pay the piper

I’m still waiting for those time travelers from the future…

Love the Futurama reference

And by the way, sounds like you remain stuck with right wing Christians and their sermons, people who are moralistic and judgmental but without a real ethical base. You know, racists, greedy selfish and could give a , about environmental concerns. Please, You really need to get out more. Millions of us are appalled by them and happily know all kinds of other folks.

they lived in a wooden shack in winter... that is heart less they could have made a couple stone walled shacks with the material... i hope this wall is not anymore in function... or recognizable...

Thanks modi for CAA.

Damn ion remember John being this spicy

When they say there's no more room in hell...

E G G G

No one alive is responsible for this piss off with this shit. If we are going to start blaming groups why don't we start with the slave traders.

When women have kids they don't get promotions while they take care of the kids and the men do. That is the gender pay gap for you.

Yet another piece of miseducation by the uninformed for the uninformed. It is downright shocking the number of errors in this piece...it looks more like sophomoric propaganda than anything remotely informative. Myth 1: Indian Land Sales. The topic is hyper-complex and l believe beyond the scope of Oliver's limited interest in the topic and understanding. Lets just say that Indians sold numerous lands multiple times for various reasons that are beyond the scope here to detail in any real depth. However, if you believe the liberal portrait of natives as simple innocent "nature children" that is itself a ridiculous racial caricature and insulting to all parties involved in those exchanges. Myth 2: Who was running the evil federal government when the Federal Housing Administration, GI Bill, Model Cities, & Community Reinvestment Act were enacted and put into place? Answer: Democrats. But he fails to mention any of that. Myth 3: How much is land worth at any certain time? Again, this is complex due to various factors including both direct (Building: number/size/condition and land size) and indirect factors (zoning laws, transportation access, and nearby uses...school, transit, and shopping etc) and yes even future buildout potential in the area. In short, land is worth what you pay for it at the point in time you buy it (or current value for taking purposes) and not the future full potential that it might be worth someday - ie I want to pay a 1908 price for land and then demand its full 2021 price or even 2050 value assuming as part of your calculation that you didn't sell it earlier. Oliver's reasoning that Levittown prices moved from $40,000 to $350,000 as proof of his theory is flawed as well. Housing price appreciation has been different for various homes and in different areas of the country - rust belt cities in the 1980s or financial crisis in 2008 saw housing values drop as well. Furthermore, for someone who seems to see racism everywhere, it is rather interesting that he seems very comfortable doing the same thing to a mayor of a fine New Jersey community. He also does not make clear that all racial deed restrictions were rendered illegal long ago. Oliver's case for reparations is weak and not really directed at the source of the problem. If the Democratic Party ran on and enacted failed federal policies, why don't they simply pay for it by themselves? Why don't Democrats take responsibility by paying a Democratic Reparations Tax until all their victims are paid in full? That would deprive some of them from talking out of both sides of the mouth on this issue. Lastly, if they really want to reconcile why don't they simple start with an apology for the policy screw-ups over the years - and simply say they failed starting in 1933 and onward that they are not experts in any thing but wasting money.

funny, i'm suddenly inspired to create cereal commercials with this new concept I'm thinking of.
