My friend was half Thai and half Caucasian. Her husband was black. They had three kids. Her daughter, the oldest , was in kindergarten across the hall from my daughter. We both had parent teacher conferences at the same time and went together. The classrooms had no doors, so when her then five year old daughter saw her mom she got really excited. I should state that she was the only black child in the class. She jumped out of her seat and ran towards her mom and the teacher. The teacher yelled in a very mean voice at her to sit down .
 
Then she looked disgusted and apologized to my friend. Then she said you know how wild those kind of people can be. You’ve got to really keep a tight leash on them. My friend knew exactly what she meant , but said what kind of people? She said , you know, they’re not like us. My friend, furious, said come on honey, you’re not staying here with this @$&#. Her daughter ran to her. And realizing she was the child’s mother, she knew she was in a lot of trouble. 
 
It never occurred to her that she could be the mother of a child that didn’t look like her. That’s the bad part of living in a 99% white small town. This was in the early 90s. I hope attitudes around here have changed bc we now have gone down to 84% white , and 8 % black. 
 
 
I have several black grandchildren myself and my five year old granddaughter and my daughter in law were called the N word  by a neighbor when they first bought their house here in town.  Small town mentality. My own mother was racist. I’m so glad I didn’t turn out anything like her.

a biased and racist teacher a classroom full of tension but there's a Twist that no one saw coming and it's about to

0:07

expose years of hidden Prejudice get ready for a story that will make you rethink what really goes on behind

0:13

closed classroom doors the bell rang signaling the start

0:21

of another day at Westfield High Miss Robert stood at the front of her English class her Stern gaze sweeping over the

0:28

students as they settled into their seats the air felt thick with unease a familiar tension that always seemed to

0:35

accompany her lessons as the last few stragglers hurried in a new face

0:40

appeared in the doorway Jasmine King stepped into the room her backpack slung over one shoulder the other students

0:47

eyes followed her some Curious others wary Miss Roberts's lips tightened into

0:54

a thin line as she watched Jasmine make her way to an empty desk well well Miss

1:00

Roberts said her voice dripping with false sweetness it seems we have a new addition to our class I do hope you can

1:07

keep up with our rigorous curriculum the way she emphasized rigorous made it clear she had her

1:14

doubts Jasmine met her gaze steadily but said nothing as Miss Roberts turned back

1:20

to the board the atmosphere in the room shifted a storm brewing just beneath the

1:25

surface the tension in the classroom was palpable what happens when a teacher's

1:30

Prejudice collides with a student's quiet strength Jasmine's next move could change

1:36

everything Miss Roberts cleared her throat her eyes narrowing as they settled on

1:41

Jasmine today we'll be discussing the themes of power and oppression in To Kill a Mocking Bird who would like to

1:49

start her gaze swept the room deliberately avoiding Jasmine's raised hand after calling on several other

1:56

students Miss Roberts finally acknowledged Jasmine with a tight Li smile yes Miss King do you have

2:03

something to contribute Jasmine straightened in her seat her voice steady I believe the novel shows how

2:09

systemic racism systemic racism Miss Roberts interrupted her tone dripping

2:16

with condescension my dear I think you're confusing this classic American novel with some Modern political agenda a

2:24

ripple of unease passed through the classroom some students shifted uncomfortably in their seats While

2:30

others smirked eagerly anticipating the drama unfolding before them Jasmine took

2:36

a deep breath her fingers curling around the edge of her desk with all due

2:41

respect Miss Roberts the racial Injustice in the book is a reflection of that's quite enough Miss Roberts Cut her

2:48

off again waving a dismissive hand perhaps you should focus on understanding the text as it's written

2:54

rather than trying to impose your own interpretations the air in the room grew

3:00

thick with tension Jasmine's jaw clenched her eyes never leaving Miss Robert's face she remained silent but

3:09

her posture spoke volumes a quiet Defiance that seemed to unsettle the teacher even more Miss Roberts turned

3:16

back to the Whiteboard her marker squeaking as she wrote now let's discuss

3:21

the actual themes the author intended can anyone tell me about the symbolism of the mocking bird as the lesson

3:28

continued Miss Roberts pointedly ignored Jasmine's attempts to participate every time Jasmine raised

3:34

her hand the teacher's gaze would slide past her as if she were invisible the

3:40

message was clear Jasmine's voice was not welcome in this classroom other

3:45

students began to take notice a few exchanged worried glances their discomfort growing with each passing

3:52

minute others however seemed to feed off the teacher's Behavior throwing sidelong

3:57

smirks in Jasmine's Direction Jasmine's frustration was evident in the set of her shoulders and the tightness

4:04

around her eyes yet she remained composed her pen moving steadily across

4:09

her notebook as she took meticulous notes it was a small Act of resistance a

4:15

refusal to be silenced or pushed out of her education as the class neared its end

4:21

Miss Roberts announced a group project I'll be assigning the groups we wouldn't want anyone to feel out of place

4:30

the implications of her words hung heavy in the air Jasmine's eyes narrowed slightly recognizing the challenge for

4:37

what it was she squared her shoulders meeting Miss Roberts's gaze with quiet

4:43

determination as the bell rang signaling the end of class students began to file

4:48

out Jasmine took her time Gathering her things her movements deliberate and

4:54

unhurried just as she reached the door Miss Roberts called out Miss King a word

5:01

Jasmine turned her expression carefully neutral yes Miss Roberts the teacher's

5:06

smile was thin and sharp I hope you understand that in this class we focus on facts and Analysis not

5:13

personal opinions or agendas I'd hate to see you struggle because you can't separate your feelings from the

5:19

curriculum for a moment Jasmine said nothing then with a calm that bellied

5:25

the storm brewing inside her she replied I understand perfectly Miss Roberts I

5:31

look forward to demonstrating my analysis skills in our next discussion with that she turned and

5:37

walked out leaving Miss Roberts staring after her a flicker of uncertainty crossing the teacher's face as the days

5:45

passed Miss Roberts's initial uncertainty hardened into cold resolve

5:50

she'd show that girl exactly who was in charge no matter the cost the next class

5:56

would reveal the depths of her Prejudice and test Jasmine's strength like never

6:01

before the following week Jasmine entered the classroom with her head held high determined to face whatever

6:07

challenges lay ahead Miss Robert stood at the front her eyes narrowing as Jasmine took her seat the air crackled

6:15

with tension a storm brewing just beneath the surface as the lesson began

6:20

Miss Robert's focus on Jasmine intensified every movement every word

6:25

became subject to scrutiny M King is that gum I see you chewing she snapped

6:31

her voice sharp enough to cut glass Jasmine froze her hand halfway to her mouth she wasn't chewing gum at all no

6:39

Miss Roberts I Jasmine began But the teacher Cut Her Off don't lie to me

6:45

young lady spit it out this instant Miss Robert's voice dripped with disdain

6:52

Jasmine's classmates shifted uncomfortably some averting their eyes while others watched with morbid

6:58

fascination Jasmine stood slowly her movements deliberate she walked to the trash can

7:05

pantomimed spitting out non-existent gum and returned to her seat the silence in

7:10

the room was deafening as the class progressed Miss Robert's Behavior grew increasingly Brazen she nitpicked every

7:18

aspect of Jasmine's participation from her handwriting to her posture sit up

7:24

straight Miss King this isn't some casual hangout spot she barked ignoring the fact that that Jasmine's posture was

7:30

no different from her peers Jasmine's frustration was evident in the tightness of her jaw and the way her fingers

7:37

curled around her pen she took deep breaths struggling to maintain her composure as the onslaught continued the

7:44

class Dynamics began to shift some students like Sarah in the front row

7:50

shot sympathetic glances at Jasmine When Miss Roberts wasn't looking others

7:55

emboldened by the teacher's Behavior joined in with Snickers and whispered comments during a group discussion

8:02

Jasmine raised her hand to contribute Miss Robert's lips curved into a cold

8:07

smile yes Miss King do Enlighten us with your unique

8:13

perspective Jasmine's voice was steady as she began to speak but Miss Roberts

8:18

interrupted almost immediately I'm sorry but could you please enunciate more clearly we can't

8:25

all understand certain dialects a collective gasp rippled through the classroom Jasmine's eyes widened her

8:32

hands clenching into fists beneath her desk the racism once veiled now stood

8:38

naked and ugly before them all as the bell rang signaling the end of class

8:44

Miss Roberts called out Miss King please see me after class we need to discuss your

8:50

performance Jasmine approached the teacher's desk her heart pounding but her expression carefully neutral Miss

8:57

Roberts looked up her eyes cold hold I hope you understand Miss King that your

9:02

attitude is becoming a problem if you can't adapt to the standards of this class perhaps you should consider

9:08

finding a more suitable environment the implication hung heavy

9:13

in the air Jasmine took a deep breath her voice low but firm I understand

9:19

perfectly Miss Roberts I'll continue to do my best as I always have as Jasmine turned to leave Miss

9:26

Roberts called out oh and Miss King don't forget your group project presentation is due next week I do hope

9:33

you're prepared Jasmine nodded her mind already racing she knew the presentation

9:39

would be a turning point Miss Roberts would use it as an opportunity to humiliate her in front of the entire

9:45

class but Jasmine was determined not to give her that satisfaction the air

9:51

crackled with anticipation as Jasmine stepped up to deliver her presentation little did she know Miss

9:57

Roberts had been waiting for this moment to unleash her most brutal attack yet

10:03

what would happen when Prejudice and power collided in front of the entire class Jasmine took a deep breath

10:09

steadying herself as she faced her classmates she had spent countless hours preparing for this moment determined to

10:17

prove herself despite Miss Robert's constant belittling the project board behind her

10:23

displayed a meticulously researched analysis of To Kill a Mocking Bird focusing on the themes of racial

10:29

Injustice and moral courage as Jasmine began her presentation Miss Roberts's

10:35

eyes narrowed her lips curling into a smirk she watched like a predator waiting to pounce her pen tapping

10:42

impatiently against her grading sheet the other students shifted uneasily in their seats sensing the tension in the

10:49

air halfway through her presentation Jasmine paused to answer questions Miss

10:55

Robert's hand shot up immediately Miss King she drawled her voice dripping with

11:01

false sweetness I'm curious about your choice of focus don't you think you're

11:06

overemphasizing certain aspects of the novel Jasmine's brow furrowed slightly

11:12

but her voice remained steady I believe the racial themes are Central to understanding the book's message Miss

11:18

Roberts Harper Lee herself said I'm well aware of what the author said Miss

11:23

Roberts interrupted her tone sharp but I'm more interested in why you seem able

11:29

to appreciate the broader literary merits beyond your personal

11:34

biases a collective gasp rippled through the classroom Jasmine's hands clenched

11:40

at her sides her carefully maintained composure beginning to crack I don't

11:46

believe my analysis is biased Miss Roberts I've supported each point with textual evidence and scholarly sources

11:52

Miss Robert stood her chair scraping loudly against the floor She stro to the

11:57

front of the room position in herself between Jasmine and the rest of the class let me make something clear M King

12:05

this constant focus on race is not only misguided but also disruptive to the

12:10

learning environment perhaps in your previous School such narrow interpretations were acceptable but here

12:18

we expect a higher level of academic rigor the silence in the room was

12:23

defening some students stared at their desks unable to meet Jasmine's eyes

12:28

others watched with a mix of horror and morbid Fascination as their teacher continued her TI raade furthermore Miss

12:36

Roberts pressed on her voice Rising your insistence on inserting modern political

12:42

agendas into classic literature is not only inappropriate but also demonstrates

12:48

a fundamental lack of understanding I'm beginning to wonder if you're truly capable of handling the curriculum at

12:54

this level Jasmine's eyes glistened with unshed tears but she refused to back

13:00

down Miss Roberts I respectfully disagree the themes of racial Injustice into To Kill a Mocking Bird are as

13:06

relevant today as they were when the book was written ignoring them does a disservice to the author's intent and

13:12

enough Miss Roberts snapped your attitude is bordering on insubordination

13:18

I suggest you take your seat and reflect on whether you're truly prepared for the academic standards of this

13:24

class as Jasmine slowly gathered her materials the weight of the humiliation

13:29

pressing down on her shoulders a small voice piped up from the back of the room

13:34

but I thought Jasmine's presentation was really good Miss Roberts Whirled around

13:40

her eyes flashing and what would you know about literary analysis Mr Peterson

13:46

perhaps you'd like to join M King in detention to discuss your own academic shortcomings the student shrank back in

13:52

his seat effectively silenced Miss Roberts turned back to Jasmine who stood

13:57

Frozen by her desk well what are you waiting for sit down so we can move on to presentations

14:04

actually worth our time Jasmine sank into her chair her face burning with a

14:09

mixture of anger and shame she could feel the eyes of her classmates on her some sympathetic others cruy amused the

14:18

Injustice of it all threatened to overwhelm her but she forced herself to take slow steady breaths as Miss Roberts

14:26

called the next student to present Jasmine's mind raced she knew she couldn't let this continue but what

14:32

could she do the teacher held all the power and speaking out would only lead

14:37

to more humiliation for now she would have to endure but a quiet determination began

14:44

to build within her this wasn't over as Jasmine sat in her seat her mind racing

14:51

with thoughts of justice and retribution fate was about to deal an unexpected

14:56

hand the classroom door opened and Miss Roberts looked up a smug smile playing

15:02

on her lips class I have an important announcement Miss Roberts declared her

15:08

voice dripping with false sweetness I've decided it's time for a parent teacher conference regarding Miss King's

15:15

performance Jasmine's heart raced a mix of dread and Defiance coursing through

15:20

her veins she knew her father would stand up for her but the thought of him confronting Miss Roberts filled her with

15:27

anxiety the other students exchanged glances some worried others curious

15:33

about what would happen next Miss Roberts continued oblivious to the storm brewing just beyond her classroom walls

15:40

I've requested a meeting with M king's parents after school today I'm sure they'll be very interested to hear about

15:46

her disruptive behavior and subpar academic performance as the words left Miss Roberts's mouth the sound of

15:53

footsteps echoed in the hallway they were steady purposeful growing louder

15:58

with each passing second the entire class seemed to hold its breath sensing

16:04

that something momentous was about to unfold the footsteps stopped just outside the door there was a brief pause

16:11

pregnant with possibility before a firm knock broke the silence Miss Robert's

16:16

eyebrows furrowed slightly clearly annoyed at the interruption come in she

16:22

called out her voice tinged with irritation the door swung open revealing

16:27

a tall distinguished looking man in a crisp suit his presence immediately commanded attention and a ripple of

16:34

recognition passed through the students it was Mr King the school principal

16:40

Jasmine's eyes widened a mix of surprise and relief washing over her face she

16:45

glanced at Miss Roberts who was still blissfully unaware of the connection between the new arrival and her targeted

16:52

student Mr King stepped into the room his eyes quickly scanning the faces before him they lingered for a moment on

17:00

Jasmine a flicker of concern passing between them then he turned to Miss

17:05

Roberts his expression neutral but his posture radiating Authority Miss Roberts

17:11

he said his voice calm but carrying an undercurrent of Steel I hope I'm not

17:17

interrupting anything important Miss robertt straightened Plastering on her most professional smile not at all Mr

17:24

King we were just wrapping up a lesson on To Kill a Mocking Bird is there something I can help you with Mr King

17:32

nodded his eyes now fixed on the teacher actually there is I understand you've

17:37

requested a parent teacher conference regarding one of your students Miss Robert's smile widened clearly pleased

17:45

that her Authority was being recognized yes that's correct I believe it's crucial to address certain issues

17:52

before they become more problematic I see and which student might this be Miss Mr King replied his

18:00

tone neutral Miss Roberts turned gesturing towards Jasmine with a dismissive wave M King actually no

18:08

relation to you of course you see Mr King was Chinese American so Miss

18:14

Roberts thought there was no way he could be related to her student she chuckled at her own joke oblivious to

18:20

the growing tension in the room Mr King's eyebrow raised slightly the only

18:26

outward sign of his reaction is that so well Miss Roberts I believe

18:32

we should discuss this matter further perhaps in private Miss Roberts nodded

18:37

eagerly already Imagining the support she would receive from the principal of

18:42

course Mr King I'd be happy to share my concerns about Miss King's performance and attitude as Miss Roberts began Gathering

18:49

her materials Mr King turned to address the class students please continue with your

18:56

assigned reading we only be a moment he then looked directly at Jasmine a small

19:01

reassuring smile playing at the corners of his mouth it was a subtle gesture but

19:07

one that spoke volumes Jasmine sat up straighter feeling a surge of confidence she hadn't

19:13

experienced in weeks Miss Roberts still oblivious to the true nature of the situation led the way out of the

19:20

classroom Mr King followed pausing briefly at the door to cast one last

19:25

glance at his daughter the look they shared was one of standing and shared strength as the door closed behind them

19:33

a buzz of excited Whispers filled the room students leaned across desks

19:38

speculating about what was about to unfold Jasmine remained silent her eyes

19:43

fixed on the door knowing that Beyond it justice was finally about to be served

19:50

the closed door couldn't muffle the rising voices outside Miss Robert's confident tone gave way to stammering

19:56

confusion as Mr King's calm filled the air how would the teacher's attitude

20:01

shift when she discovered Jasmine's true identity Miss Roberts led the way to an

20:06

empty conference room her heels clicking against the tiled floor she turned to face Mr King a smug smile playing on her

20:14

lips I appreciate you taking the time to discuss this matter Mr King I've been

20:20

quite concerned about Jasmine's performance and attitude in my class Mr King nodded his expression neutral I see

20:29

please tell me more about your concerns Miss Roberts launched into her complaints her voice growing more

20:35

animated with each passing moment well for starters she consistently challenges

20:41

the curriculum she insists on injecting her personal views into every discussion

20:46

derailing the lessons I've carefully prepared as she spoke Mr King's eyes

20:52

narrowed almost imperceptibly he remained silent allowing Miss Roberts to

20:57

continue her tie rate and her attitude Miss Roberts exclaimed

21:02

throwing her hands up in exasperation she's constantly disrupting the class

21:07

with her unique perspectives just today she gave a presentation that completely

21:13

missed the point of To Kill a Mocking Bird focusing solely on racial themes

21:18

and ignoring the broader literary merits Mr King raised an eyebrow and you

21:23

believe this focus on racial themes is inappropriate for discussing a novel that centers around a charged trial Miss

21:31

Roberts faltered for a moment caught off guard by the question well I I believe

21:36

we should focus on the universal themes not get bogged down in specific issues I

21:42

see Mr King said his tone measured and how exactly has Jasmine been disruptive

21:49

can you give me specific examples Miss Robert straightened regaining her confidence of course she

21:57

constantly raises her hand to challenge points I make in class she argues with other students during discussions and

22:04

her body language the way she sits there all defiant it's clear she has no

22:10

respect for authority as Miss Robert spoke Mr King's expression shifted

22:15

subtly a hint of Steel entered his eyes though his voice remained calm Miss

22:21

Roberts I'd like to ask you something have you considered that what you perceive as Defiance might actually be a

22:27

student engag engaged in critical thinking Miss Roberts blinked taken aback by the question I well I suppose I

22:35

hadn't thought of it that way but Mr King you have to understand this girl is simply not a good fit for our school her

22:43

previous education must have been lacking perhaps a different environment would be more suitable for her Mr King's

22:50

jaw tightened almost imperceptibly I see and what makes you

22:55

think Jasmine's previous education was lacking well it's obvious isn't it Miss Roberts

23:02

said her voice dripping with condescension the way she speaks her focus on certain issues it's clear she

23:09

hasn't been exposed to the level of rigor we expect here Mr King took a deep

23:14

breath his calm demeanor masking the storm brewing beneath the surface Miss Roberts I think it's time I

23:21

clarified something for you Jasmine's previous education was excellent in fact

23:27

I can personally vouch for Miss Roberts frowned confusion evident on her face I don't understand how could

23:35

you possibly know that Mr King's eyes locked onto Miss Roberts his gaze

23:40

unwavering I know because I'm Jasmine's father the color drained from Miss Roberts's face as the implications of Mr

23:48

King's words sank in her mouth opened and closed several times but no sound

23:54

came out the smug confidence that had carried her through the convers ation evaporated in an instant you you're Miss

24:03

Robert stammered her eyes wide with shock and growing horror Mr King nodded

24:09

his expression grave yes Miss Roberts jasman King is my

24:15

daughter and I've been listening very carefully to everything you said about her Miss Robert stumbled backward her

24:22

hand gripping the edge of a nearby desk for support the realization of what she had done of the prejudices she had

24:29

revealed to the school's principal and more importantly to a father crashed

24:34

over her like a tidal wave Mr King I I had no idea she managed

24:41

to choke out her voice barely above a whisper clearly Mr King replied his tone

24:48

carrying a weight that made Miss Roberts Flinch but ignorance is no excuse for the behavior you've displayed not only

24:55

have you demonstrated a clear bias against my daughter but your comments suggest a pattern of discrimination that

25:00

goes beyond a single student Miss Robert's mind raced

25:06

desperately searching for a way to salvage the situation Mr King please I can explain I never meant to Mr King

25:14

held up a hand silencing her I think you've explained quite enough Miss Roberts we'll be having a much longer

25:21

conversation about this but for now I suggest you return to your classroom we

25:27

wouldn't want to keep the students waiting would we as Miss Roberts numbly nodded and

25:32

turned to leave Mr King added oh and Miss Roberts I'll be sitting in on your

25:38

class for the remainder of the day I'm very interested in observing your teaching methods

25:44

firsthand Mr King's measured tone bellied the storm brewing beneath as he

25:50

stepped back into the classroom followed by a visibly Shak in Miss Roberts the atmosphere shifted palpably students

25:57

straightened in their seats sensing the tension crackling between the two adults class Mr King addressed the room

26:06

his voice calm but carrying an undercurrent of Steel I believe we need to have an important discussion about

26:12

respect diversity and the true purpose of Education Miss Robert stood rigidly

26:18

by her desk her earlier confidence evaporated she glanced nervously at Mr

26:23

King then at Jasmine her mind racing to process the revelation she just

26:29

experienced Mr King continued his gaze sweeping across the room it has come to

26:35

my attention that there have been some concerning incidents in this class incidents that go against everything our

26:42

school stands for a collective intake of breath rippled through the students some

26:48

cast furtive glances at Jasmine pieces of the puzzle falling into place Miss

26:53

Roberts would you care to explain to the class why you felt it necessary to consistently undermine and belittle one

26:59

of your students the teacher's mouth opened and closed words failing her Mr

27:05

King I I never meant to never meant to what Miss Roberts Mr King's voice Rose

27:13

slightly his carefully maintained composure beginning to crack never meant

27:18

to make racist assumptions about a student's background never meant to dismiss valid interpretations of

27:24

literature because they didn't align with your narrow worldview the students watched in stunned silence

27:31

as their usually mild-mannered principal transformed Before Their Eyes his words

27:36

precise and cutting laid bare the injustices that had been simmering beneath the surface of their classroom

27:42

for weeks let me be clear Mr King continued his eyes locked on Miss

27:48

Roberts your behavior towards Jasmine and I suspect towards other students of

27:53

color is not only unprofessional but deeply harmful you've created an

27:59

environment where students feel unsafe expressing their thoughts and experiences Miss Roberts attempted to

28:05

interject her voice trembling Mr King please if I could just explain explain

28:12

what exactly Mr King cut her off his patience wearing thin explain how you

28:17

mock Jasmine's analysis of To Kill a Mocking Bird because it focused on racial themes explain how you've

28:24

consistently ignored her raised hand in class discussions or perhaps you'd like to explain your comment about her

28:31

previous education being lacking simply because she doesn't conform to your preconceived notions the color drained

28:38

from Miss Robert's face as Mr King recounted her actions she glanced around the room seeking any sign of support but

28:46

found only shocked and disappointed faces staring back at her Mr King turned

28:51

to address the class once more students I want you to understand something

28:57

education is not about silencing voices or dismissing perspectives that challenge our own it's about expanding

29:03

our understanding engaging in respectful dialogue and learning from diverse experiences he paused letting his words

29:10

sink in what you've witnessed in this classroom is not education it's

29:16

discrimination plain and simple and it stops today the tension in the room was

29:22

palpable some students shifted uncomfortably in their seats While others nodded in agreement with Mr

29:28

King's words Jasmine sat quietly her eyes glistening with unshed tears of

29:34

relief and Vindication Mr King's gaze returned to Miss Roberts who seemed to shrink under

29:40

his scrutiny Miss Roberts your actions have demonstrated a clear pattern of discrimination that goes beyond a single

29:47

student this behavior is unacceptable and will be addressed through the proper channels for now I'll be taking over

29:53

your class for the remainder of the day as Miss Roberts gathered her things

29:58

her movements jerky and uncoordinated the reality of the situation seemed to finally hit her she cast one last

30:07

desperate look around the classroom before hurrying out the door the silence that followed her exit was deafening Mr

30:14

King took a deep breath visibly calming himself before addressing the class once more I apologize that you've had to

30:21

witness this but I believe it's important for you to understand that prejudice and discrimination have no

30:27

place in our school or in our society he moved to the front of the classroom his

30:33

posture relaxing slightly some students looked shellshocked others relieved a

30:39

few cast apologetic glances towards Jasmine the weight of their silent complicity hanging heavy in the air Mr

30:47

King cleared his throat regaining the class's attention I know this has been an intense and emotional experience for

30:53

all of you we'll be bringing in a counselor to help process what's happened here for now class is dismissed

31:00

early please use this time to reflect on what you've witnessed and how we can all work together to create a more inclusive

31:06

environment as the students filed out many paused to offer words of support to

31:11

Jasmine Sarah who had always sat quietly in the front row approached

31:16

hesitantly I'm sorry I never spoke up she said her voice barely above a

31:22

whisper I knew what was happening wasn't right but I was scared it won't happen

31:28

again Jasmine nodded a small smile of understanding on her face thank you

31:34

Sarah speaking up is hard but it's how we make things better outside the classroom words spread quickly students

31:42

gathered in small groups discussing what they'd heard in hushed tones as Jasmine

31:47

emerged flanked by her father a hush fell over the hallway then slowly a

31:53

ripple of Applause began it started with just a few students then through until

31:58

it echoed through the corridor Jasmine walked tall her heat held high the fear

32:04

and isolation she'd felt for weeks melted away replaced by a sense of empowerment her classmates weren't just

32:11

seeing her now they were truly recognizing her strength and resilience meanwhile in the

32:18

administrative office Miss Roberts faced the consequences of her actions the school board was convened for an

32:24

emergency meeting and within hours a decision was reached as the final bell

32:30

rang signaling the end of the school day Miss Roberts was escorted from the building by security a cardboard box of

32:37

personal items clutched to her chest students watched from Windows and doorways as their former teacher walked

32:44

to her car her career in education effectively over there was no

32:50

satisfaction in the scene only a somber recognition that actions have

32:55

consequences the next morning as as Jasmine approached the school she noticed a change in the atmosphere

33:02

students who had previously avoided her now offered Friendly Smiles and waves in

33:07

the hallways she overheard Snippets of conversations about diversity workshops and plans for a cultural awareness Club

33:15

as she entered her English classroom now temporarily led by a substitute teacher Jasmine was greeted by a sea of

33:21

supportive faces the tension that had permeated the room for weeks was gone replaced by an air of openness and

33:29

mutual respect during lunch Jasmine found herself surrounded by classmates

33:34

eager to hear her thoughts on how to make the school more inclusive ideas flowed freely from

33:40

diversifying the curriculum to establishing mentorship programs for minority students for the first time

33:47

Jasmine felt truly heard and valued after school as Jasmine walked out with

33:53

her father they passed by Miss Robert's now empty parking spot Mr King squeezed

33:58

his daughter's shoulder gently you know Jasmine what happened here isn't just about one teacher or one classroom it's

34:06

a reminder that change is possible but it takes courage to speak up and stand firm in the face of

34:12

Injustice Jasmine nodded, her expression thoughtful I just hope it makes a

34:18

difference Beyond today, there are so many others who face discrimination every day in and out of school the

34:25

events at Westfield High exposed how Prejudice can lurk even in educational

34:30

settings Miss Roberts's treatment of Jasmine revealed deep-seated biases that

34:35

had gone unchecked for years but Jasmine's courage in speaking up sparked

34:41

a transformation the school Community rallied around creating a more inclusive

34:46

environment new initiatives diversity training and open dialogues challenged

34:53

leld assumptions students and teachers alike were forced to confront their own biases

34:59

and blind spots Jasmine's Journey from victim to leader showed the power of

35:04

resilience in the face of injustice; her willingness to turn pain into positive change inspired others to

35:11

examine their own beliefs and actions

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS OPENING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT HER SPLIT
WITH BEN AFFLECK IN THE LATEST "INTERVIEW" MAGAZINE. SHE SAYS SHE FEELS GOOD ABOUT IT. SHE'S NOT LOOKING FOR ANYBODY ELSE AT THE MOMENT, AND SHE'S
WORKING ON FIGURING HERSELF OUT AND THE CHOICES SHE'S MADE. DO MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE ALONE
FOR A BIT AND NOT RUSH BACK INTO A RELATIONSHIP? THIS IS THE QUESTION I AM
SUPPOSED TO POSE TO YOU ALL. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Alyssa: YES, I THINK IT'S VERY SOUND ADVICE.
I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF TO ATTRACT A GOOD PARTNER THAT'S GOING TO BE IN A LASTING RELATIONSHIP.
BEING CONTENT BY YOURSELF IS ONE OF THE BEST GIFTS YOU CAN GIVE YOURSELF, AND
OFTEN IT'S GOOD TO TAKE A BREAK BEFORE RELATIONSHIPS. >> Sara: OR REBOUND HARD. DON'T DO THAT.
>> Alyssa: I COMMITTED TO TAKING A YEAR OFF DATING, AND JUSTIN
CAME IN SIX MONTHS, AND I FEEL I PRESENTED THE BEST VERSION OF MYSELF BECAUSE I WORKED ON MYSELF. >> Joy: IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO BE ALONE. YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK.
>> Alyssa: WELL, THAT AND -- >> Joy: YOU GOT TO TAKE THE BLAME FOR WHERE YOU WENT AWRY.
>> Sara: SOME PEOPLE CAN'T BE ALONE. >> Joy: IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE BY YOURSELF, SURELY, BUT NOT IN A
HOUSE. I'D BE SCARED. [ LAUGHTER ] MAYBE IN AN APARTMENT, BUT I
BELIEVE, AND THIS COMES FROM EXPERIENCE, THAT IF YOU DON'T TAKE THE BLAME FOR WHAT YOUR PART WAS IN THE RELATIONSHIP, WHATEVER IT WAS, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY SAY IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO
GET TO THE NEXT ONE, AND SHE SAYS SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN HER ROARKS. >> Sunny: DURING THE INTERVIEW. OF COURSE, I'M DEVASTATED
BECAUSE I FELT LIKE THEY WERE TRULY IN LOVE AND THAT TRUE LOVE
HAS NOW DIED, BUT. >> Joy: HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT? >> Sara: SHE FELT IT IN HER HEART. >> Sunny: I WAS TOLD THAT.
>> Joy: YOU WERE TOLD BY THEM? >> Sunny: I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SOMEONE CLOSE TO THEM. >> Joy: HER MOTHER. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> Sara: WE GOT TO WORK ON OUR POKER FACE.
>> Joy: LUPE COMES HERE ALL THE TIME. >> Sara: NOT LOOPY.
IT'S LUPE. >> Sunny: I WILL SAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO ENJOY YOUR OWN COMPANY, RIGHT, AND SOMETIMES I
THINK I ENJOY MY OWN COMPANY TOO MUCH, AND I'M SURE MANNY IS NOT THRILLED WITH THAT, BUT BEING -- I LIKE BEING ALONE, AND I THINK
PERHAPS JENNIFER DOESN'T LOVE BEING ALONE AND MAYBE HASN'T GOTTEN USED TO BEING ONE WITH
HERSELF AND ENJOYING HER OWN COMPANY, AND MAYBE NOW IS THE TIME TO JUST ENJOY YOUR OWN COMPANY. >> Sara: YES.
>> Alyssa: I LOVE MY OWN COMPANY BUT NOW THAT I'M IN A BIG HOUSE, I DO RELATE TO THIS. I DON'T LIKE WHEN MY HUSBAND IS
AWAY AT NIGHT. >> Joy: GET THE AGT THING. >> Sunny: WATCH SOMETHING ON TV. >> Sara: JENNIFER SPEAKS ABOUT
BEING INVISIBLE AS A MIDDLE CHILD AND HOW THAT LOVE AND ROMANCE WAS SOMETHING WHERE SHE FELT SEEN.
>> Sunny: ARE YOU A MIDDLE CHILD? >> Sara: I AM. I'VE ALSO BEEN INVISIBLE. >> Joy: YOU CAN BE ALONE.
>> Sara: OH, I CAN BE ALONE. ABSOLUTELY. >> Joy: HOW ARE YOU INVISIBLE? >> Sara: TRUST ME, DO YOU KNOW
WHY I'M SO LOUD? I NEEDED ATTENTION FROM MY PARENTS TO SURVIVE IN THIS WORLD. THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHICH ONE I WAS.
>> Joy: OH. [ LAUGHTER ]
I WAS AN ONLY CHILD, AND I GOT SO MUCH ATTENTION, IT WAS LIKE, LEAVE ME ALONE.
>> Alyssa: MAYBE THAT'S WHY YOU'RE INDEPENDENT.
>> Joy: I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM, BUT I KNOW, I DO KNOW THAT BEING
ALONE IN A HOUSE, AS I SAID, IS CREEPY, BUT WHAT I REALLY LIKE, WHAT I REALLY LIKE IS WHEN YOU'RE MARRIED AND YOU HAVE QUALITY TIME APART. >> Sunny: YES.
>> Joy: EVEN IF IN THE SAME HOUSE HE'S IN ONE ROOM WATCHING TV, AND I'M IN ANOTHER, OH, MOMMY'S HERE IN CASE -- IF I HAVE A HEART ATTACK, HE'S HERE. >> Sara: SO YOU'RE ALONE TOGETHER.
>> Joy: YEAH, I LIKE THAT. THAT'S MY FAVORITE WAY OF BEING. >> Whoopi: COOL. [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE ] WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
[ APPLAUSE ] >> Whoopi: WELCOME BACK.
YOU KNOW, WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT JENNIFER LOPEZ SAYING SHE'S IN A GOOD PLACE AFTER HER
BREAKUP, AND SHE'S NOT ALONE. APPARENTLY MORE PEOPLE ARE CELEBRATING THEIR SPLITS BY THROWING DIVORCE PARTIES AND
EVEN GOING AWAY ON DIVORCEMOONS. >> Joy: OH. >> Whoopi: OKAY, WHAT,
DIVORCEMOON? >> Joy: INSTEAD OF A HONEYMOON, IT'S A DIVORCEMOON. >> Sara: LIKE SWEET. [ LAUGHTER ]
WELL, SO, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE, WHAT THE IDEA IS ON A SCALE OF
ONE TO TEN, BUT I DO HAVE PLACES
THEY COULD GO. THEY COULD GO AND VISIT CULT --
CUT AND SHOOT, TEXAS. PARACHUTE, COLORADO, ROUGH AND READY, CALIFORNIA, ACCIDENT, MARYLAND.
MARYLAND. DING DONG, TEXAS. >> Joy: NOT INTERCOURSE, PENNSYLVANIA.
>> Alyssa: THOSE ARE REAL PLACES.
I FEEL STRONGLY THAT WEDDINGS HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL. THE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, THE PRESSURE TO SPEND MONEY, ALL THE
EVENTS AROUND IT, SO NOW WE'RE DOING THAT WITH DIVORCES TOO? YOUR FRIENDS ALREADY SPENT MONEY TO CELEBRATE YOUR WEDDING, AND
NOW THEY HAVE TO SHOW UP FOR AN EVENT. >> Sara: JUST SPLIT THE BLENDER IN HALF.
>> Joy: THE IDEAL GIFT, I GUESS, WOULD BE BATTERIES. >> Alyssa: YOU KNOW WHAT FOR. >> Joy: AS WHOOPI WOULD SAY AND
AL PACINO, SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND. >> Alyssa: THEY DID THIS ON "SECRET LIVES OF MORMON LIVES." ONE THROWS A DIVORCE PARTY.
>> Sunny: HOW DID IT GO? >> Alyssa: I WAS OKAY WITH IT BECAUSE THERE WERE NO KIDS INVOLVED. IF YOU HAVE KIDS, THAT WOULD BE WEIRD TO CELEBRATE. MOMMY AND DADDY DON'T LOVE EACH OTHER. >> Sunny: THAT'S WHERE I WAS
GOING. AS A CHILD OF DIVORCE MYSELF, I DIDN'T DIG IT THAT MUCH. I DIDN'T LOVE IT THAT MUCH. IF YOU DO HAVE CHILDREN, I DON'T
KNOW IF -- HOW THE CHILDREN WOULD REACT. >> Sara: I CALL IT A NIGHT OUT AND SING POWER BALLADS. IT'S JUST A NIGHT OUT.
>> Joy: I BEGGED MY PARENTS TO GET A DIVORCE. YOU KNOW, THEY WOULDN'T DO IT.
>> Sunny: BUT WHY? WHY? >> Joy: BECAUSE THEY WERE ALWAYS
ARGUING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE HE WAS A GAMBLER, AND I INTERFERED. SHE SAID, THIS IS OUR THING, STAY OUT OF IT, SO YOU REALIZE
PEOPLE ARE DOING THEIR OWN LITTLE DANCE IN A MARRIAGE. MAYBE THEY DON'T WANT TO GET DIVORCED. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LITTLE THING.
>> Alyssa: ARGUING DOESN'T NECESSARILY STOP AFTER THE DIVORCE. >> Joy: I KNOW, I KNOW. SHE ALSO SAID ONE DAY, YOUR
FATHER LIKES HIS MATINEES. I SAID, HE WENT TO THE THEATER? >> Sunny: OH! >> Joy: THIS AUDIENCE, COME ON!
[ LAUGHTER ] >> Sara: WE DON'T HAVE THOSE IN IOWA. >> Joy: ALL RIGHTY. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Whoopi: HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING?
ARE YOU GOOD? >> Joy: THESE ARE JOKES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. >> Whoopi: WELL, --
>> Joy: I CAN BE AS DIRTY AS WHOOPI. WE'RE A SISTERHOOD. >> Whoopi: LISTEN, DON'T FOOL
YOURSELVES THINKING YOU CAN BE LESS DIRTY THAN ME. >> Joy: EXACTLY. >> Whoopi: BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT Y'ALL TALK ABOUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS.
THAT'S WHAT I DID EXCEPT I MADE THE AUDIENCE MY FRIENDS. >> Joy: THAT'S RIGHT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Whoopi: AND I CHARGED THEM.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>>> I'M HAVING MORE FUN IN MY LIFE NOW THAN I THINK I'VE EVER
HAD. I'M ENJOYING AMERICA MORE NOW THAN I'VE EVER, EVER ENJOYED IT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] EVERY DAY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I THINK -- YOU KNOW WHAT -- I THINK IT IS, YOU ENJOY A PLACE DIFFERENTLY WHEN IT MIGHT BE ENDING, YOU KNOW.
IT JUST -- [ LAUGHTER ] -- HAS LIKE A DIFFERENT FEELING TO IT. MM-MM, WHAT IS THAT TASTE, THE FINAL SEASON, MM-MM, MM-MM.

20:48 - Trevor Noah On ‘Daily Show’ Tenure, Trump’s Attacks On Immigrants

>> Sunny: WE JUST HAD MADAM VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS ON THE SHOW THIS WEEK.
WHAT DO YOU THINK AMERICA COULD LEARN HAVING A BLACK FEMALE
PRESIDENT? >> WELL, I'LL BE CAREFUL TO PRESCRIBE CERTAIN, YOU KNOW, LEARNINGS OR IDEAS TO ONE PERSON.
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WHEN I SAID BLACK WOMEN, AND I THINK
BLACK WOMEN AS A COLLECTIVE HAVE SHOWN US MANY THINGS, NOT JUST IN AMERICA, BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD.
YOU KNOW, WHAT I MEANT BY THAT STATEMENT WAS, THERE IS VERY SELDOM A POLITICAL SYSTEM THAT'S RUNNING BADLY THAT DOESN'T
IMPACT BLACK WOMEN THE WORST, AND SO IF YOU ASK BLACK WOMEN AS A COLLECTIVE AS VOTERS, WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE, WHATEVER THEY DO, WHATEVER THEY
CHOOSE WILL INADVERTENTLY BENEFIT EVERYBODY ELSE, AND YOU CAN TAKE THIS AWAY FROM AMERICAN POLITICS.
LIKE IN AFRICA WE'VE SEEN IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. EVEN WHEN THE CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS, IF THEY GIVE A
DOLLAR TO ANY ONE PERSON, THE PERSON WHO STRETCHES THE DOLLAR THE MOST AND THE PERSON WHERE THEY FIND THE DOLLAR GOES TO THE
MOST PEOPLE IS WHEN THEY GIVE IT
TO A BLACK WOMAN, AND SO I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THERE IS A TERRIBLE, YOU KNOW, IT'S A GIFT AND A CURSE, THE CURSE IS THAT BLACK WOMEN BEAR THE BRUNT
OF ALL BAD DECISIONS, YOU KNOW, BLACK WOMEN, WHETHER IT'S ECONOMICAL, POLITICAL, THEY DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO MESS AROUND WITH THE VOTE. THEY DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE A PROTEST VOTE. >> Joy: EXACTLY.
>> SO I THINK BLACK WOMEN SEE THEIR COUNTRY WITH A CLARITY
THAT MOST CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO AT TIMES. THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY THAT. IN A SENSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT AMERICA WOULD LEARN, PER SE,
BECAUSE THIS IS ONE BLACK WOMAN, BUT I THINK WE'RE ALREADY SEEING AMERICA IS GOING TO LEARN A LOT OF ITS, YOU KNOW, HOW IT VIEWS A BLACK WOMAN IN A POSITION OF POWER, WHICH SOME PEOPLE MIGHT
STRUGGLE TO DEAL WITH. >> Whoopi: YEAH. >> BECAUSE IT COMES WITH CERTAIN CONNOTATIONS FOR THEM.
>> Sunny: YEAH. >> Joy: THAT'S TRUE. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Whoopi: YOU JOY. >> Joy: SO, TRUMP AND THE RIGHT HAVE BEEN RAMPING UP THEIR
ATTACKS ON IMMIGRANTS, WHICH YOU ARE ONE, RIGHT?
>> I LIKE HOW YOU SAY IT LIKE YOU'RE PUTTING A TARGET ON MY BACK, AND YOU ARE ONE, TREVOR. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Joy: I AM ONCE REMOVED.
THAT'S ALL, ONCE REMOVED. HE'S BLAMING THEM FOR EVERYTHING. >> YES. >> Joy: THE SCAPEGETTING HAS
BEGUN. HE'S BLAMING THEM FOR VIOLENT CRIME, WHICH THE CRIME RATE IS
DOWN, HOUSING COSTS, WHICH KAMALA HAS A PROGRAM TO FIX THAT. HE'S SAYING THAT THESE IMMIGRANTS ARE EATING THE CATS
AND DOGS. THAT IS ONE OF THE DUMBEST THINGS HE'S EVER SAID, SO AS AN
IMMIGRANT FROM SOUTH AFRICA YOURSELF, GIVE ME YOUR REACTION TO BEING SCAPEGOATED. >> SO, I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT
THESE ISSUES IN ONLY AN AMERICAN CONTEXT, THEY WILL SEEM UNIQUE. YOU KNOW, I THINK THE FIRST
THING TO REMEMBER IS THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RITE OF PASSAGE IN AMERICA. IT'S A TERRIBLE RITE OF PASSAGE.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A FORM OF POLITICAL HAZING, BUT THAT'S WHAT AMERICA DOES.
WHEN THE IRISH CAME, THEY WERE THOSE CRIMINALS, AND THEY WERE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE MAKING THE COUNTRY WORSE. >> Sunny: THE ITALIANS.
>> AMERICA HAS CONSTANTLY HAD THIS LEGACY OF OTHERING AND POINTING, AND AT SOME POINT THE
PEOPLE BLEND IN, AND THEN THERE'S A NEW VERSION OF WHAT THE OTHER IS. >> Whoopi: YOU THINK SO.
>> Joy: BUT DON'T FORGET IN NAZI GERMANY, THE JEWS WERE THE SCAPEGOAT, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED HERE. EXACTLY. WHEN WE LOOK AT IMMIGRATION AS A
WHOLE, SOMETIMES I THINK INSTEAD OF -- YOU CAN DEFEND FOREVER.
YOU KNOW, IMMIGRANTS ARE GOOD, AND SOMEONE WILL SHOW YOU A CLIP OF AN IMMIGRANT DOING SOMETHING BAD, AND THEY'RE LIKE, WHAT ABOUT THAT ONE? YOU CAN DO THIS FOREVER.
I SOMETIMES PREFER TO ASK A DIFFERENT QUESTION, AND I SAY, WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT A COUNTRY
WHEN PEOPLE FEEL THAT THEY NEED TO FIND SCAPEGOATS? >> Sunny: YES. [ APPLAUSE ] >> IN MY OPINION -- >> Joy: WHAT DOES IT SAY? >> IN MY OPINION IT SHOWS YOU
ARE FAILING. IT SHOWS YOU A CRACK. SOUTH AMERICA IS NO DIFFERENT. LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE EXTREMES
AND PHOBIAS IN SOUTH AFRICA AGAINST OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES, BUT THAT YOU SEE -- YOU CAN
TRACK IT LITERALLY WITH PEOPLE'S INCOMES. YOU CAN TRACK IT WITH INFLATION. YOU CAN TRACK HOW PEOPLE ARE LIVING, AND I THINK WE SHOULD
NEVER FORGET THAT SCAPEGETTING AND PUTTING GROUPS OF PEOPLE TOGETHER AS THE BAD ONES IS DIRECTLY CORRELATED OFTENTIMES
TO HOW WELL THE COUNTRY IS BEING RUN, HOW CONFIDENT PEOPLE FEEL IN THEIR LIVES, AND IT'S ALMOST A NATURAL REACTION.
IF PEOPLE FEEL LIKE, I CANNOT AFFORD, MY LIFE IS GETTING WORSE, MY CHILDREN CANNOT GO TO SCHOOL, I DON'T HAVE GROCERIES --
>> Joy: WHO CAN I BLAME? >> YOU WILL NEVER BLAME YOU. >> Sunny: RIGHT. >> SO YOU LOOK FOR SOMEONE -- >> Joy: WHEN ONE OF THE LEADERS
OF THE COUNTRY IS BLAMING THEM, THAT EXACERBATES THE PROBLEM. >> COMPLETELY. >> Sara: NOW, TREVOR, YOU
DISCUSS CULTURE AND POLITICS ON "WHAT NOW? WITH TREVOR NOAH" AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH CELEBRITIES, EXPERTS, FRIENDS. ON A RECENT EPISODE YOU TALKED ABOUT WATCHING THE HARRIS/TRUMP
DEBATE AT 3:00 A.M. LOCAL TIME IN THE NETHERLANDS. >> I DID, YES. >> Sara: SO, WHAT WAS THAT LIKE,
AND IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, HOW CLOSELY DO OTHER COUNTRIES PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN AMERICAN POLITICS. >> SO I WILL SAY THIS, FIRST TO ANSWER YOUR SECOND QUESTION FIRST, EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WATCHES AMERICAN POLITICS SINCE
TRUMP, LIKE, YOU KNOW IN THE STRANGEST WAY. TRUMP CAME IN AS THIS ISOLATIONAL PRESIDENT.
HE SAID, I'M AMERICA ONLY, AND YET HE'S AFFECTED THE WORLD IN MORE WAYS THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT. LIKE EVERYONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO HIM.
EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE WHAT HE IS DOING FOR GOOD AND FOR BAD, YOU KNOW. [ LAUGHTER ]
AND, BY THE WAY, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, THERE ARE MANY
COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD WHO FEEL LIKE TRUMP HAD A BETTER FOREIGN POLICY THAN MANY PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS. >> Sunny: OH, BOY. >> WHICH ISN'T A NARRATIVE YOU HEAR IN AMERICA. >> Sara: YEAH.
>> BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEBATES, PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
I WAS WATCHING IT IN THE NETHERLANDS, AND PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WHAT IS THIS FOR? NO, AND --
>> Alyssa: GREAT QUESTION. >> FOR US WHEN WE WATCH THE
DEBATE, DID YOU EVER REALIZE WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS, SO WE
WATCH THE PEOPLE DEBATE, AND IT'S LIKE WATCHING A GAME SHOW, AND THEN THEY NEVER REVEAL THE ANSWER. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Joy: THEY SHOULD REALLY ANSWER THE QUESTION.
>> THERE'S NO MECHANISM TO TELL US WHETHER THEY GOT -- SO YOU AT HOME, WHAT ARE YOU BASING THE DECISION ON? IS IT ON HOW WELL THEY FORMULATE A SENTENCE?
IS IT ON HOW WELL THEY THROW A ZINGER IN? IF WE DON'T KNOW AS THE PUBLIC, IF WE AREN'T GIVEN SOME FORM OF
KNOWLEDGE TO SAY, LIKE, THAT WAS WRONG, AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT, EVEN A BUZZER, IF THEY JUST HAD
A BUZZER AT THE DEBATES PEOPLE AT HOME WOULD HAVE A BETTER IDEA, HOW IS THE DEFICIT? IT'S UP. EH. IT'S DOWN. EH. >> Sara: I THINK YOU SHOULD DO
THE NEXT ONE. >> I WOULD LOVE TO. >> Sara: WITH BUZZERS. >> I WOULD DO IT IF I HAD A BUZZER.
>> Alyssa: YEAH. >> Whoopi: WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU A BUZZER. BUT HO

Sunny:我们本周刚有副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯在节目中。您认为美国能从拥有一位黑人女性总统中学到什么?

嘉宾:嗯,我会小心地不把某些特定的见解或想法强加于某个人。你知道,我认为重要的是要明白,当我说黑人女性时,不仅仅是在指美国,世界各地的黑人女性作为一个集体向我们展示了许多东西。我的意思是,几乎没有哪个运转不良的政治系统不会最严重地影响黑人女性。所以,如果你问黑人女性选民应该做什么,不论她们选择什么,最终的结果无疑会造福于所有人。

在非洲,我们一再看到这一点。即使是慈善机构,如果他们把钱捐给任何一个人,黑人女性总是能把一美元用得最为广泛,也能让更多人受益。黑人女性承受着所有糟糕决定的重担,无论是经济上还是政治上,她们没有机会去投抗议票。

我认为黑人女性能以一种大多数人无法负担得起的清晰度看待自己的国家。这就是我想表达的意思。美国将会学到很多关于黑人女性在权力位置上的看法,这对某些人来说可能很难接受,因为这对他们来说意味着某种固有的联想。

嘉宾:所以我不确定美国会从一个黑人女性总统那里具体学到什么,因为这毕竟是一个个体,但我们已经看到,美国正在学习如何看待一个处于权力位置的黑人女性,而某些人可能会在这方面感到挣扎。

Whoopi:是的。

Sunny:对。

Joy:这是真的。

【掌声】

Whoopi:谢谢你,Joy。

29:55 - Trevor Noah Talks New Children’s Book, ‘Into The Uncut Grass’

Joy:现在,特朗普和右翼一直在加大对移民的攻击,你本人也是移民,对吧?

嘉宾:我喜欢你这么说,好像是在给我背上一个靶子一样,“你是一个移民,特雷弗。”【笑声】

Joy:我是有些距离的移民,只隔了一层。

嘉宾:对。

Joy:他现在把所有问题都怪在移民身上。

嘉宾:是的。

Joy:替罪羊行动已经开始了。他指责移民引发了暴力犯罪,尽管犯罪率实际上在下降;住房成本上涨,卡玛拉有一个解决这个问题的计划;他说移民们还在吃猫和狗。这是他讲过最蠢的话之一。那么,作为一个来自南非的移民,你对成为替罪羊的反应是什么?

嘉宾:如果你仅从美国的角度来看这些问题,它们会显得独特。首先要记住,这是美国的一种入场仪式,这是一种糟糕的入场仪式,几乎是一种政治上的欺凌。但这就是美国的做法。当爱尔兰人来了,他们是那些罪犯,是让国家变得更糟的人。

Sunny:意大利人也是。

嘉宾:美国一直有这种“他者化”和指责的传统,最后这些人融入了社会,然后又有了一个新的“他者”。
