Most Lives Matter | Full Frontal with Samantha Bee | TBS

Hello, welcome back to the show one person refreshingly free from the
PC virus threatening to infect our country with civility is seven-term Iowa
Congressman Steve King who displayed his immunity three years ago when he shared
his thoughts about Mexicans and fruit for everyone who's a valedictorian
there's another hundred out there that may weigh a hundred and thirty pounds
and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75
pounds of marijuana across the desert just a reminder that Donald Trump didn't
bring the racist potato salad to the GOP's church picnic I mean he did, but they were like oh man,
we already have so much potato salad have you tried Steve's? It's extra bland.
does get a little tired Charlie askew go I mean, I'd ask you to go back through history and figure out where are these contributions that have
group of people contribute more to civilization? Than white people? Again, that man has been elected seven times
and counting that is white people's contribution to
civilization. Way to go, we rule! The Republican Party has gotten to a place
so surreal that the Washington Post actually felt the need to publish the
words. For the record there have been a great number of non-white contributions
to human civilization that shouldn't have to be written in a newspaper, if for
no other reason than that writing was invented in Iraq. But according to
Republican Delegates, the racial divisiveness isn't coming from people like
Donald Trump or Steve King or the people who cheered the acquittal of the officer
involved in Freddie Gray's death — there is some good news out of Baltimore, Maryland, as lieutenant
Brian Rice was acquitted on all charges Mmm, feel the healing. See, everything would be
fine were it not for one activist group hell-bent on dividing us. The Sam Squad
has more. You know this Black Lives Matter movement I just don't think it's helpful to the
country I believe that any group that distinguishes people by their race is by definition a racist group we need to stop labeling everybody — "black lives" "cop lives" how many times have you been pulled over by a cop? I feel like they use black lives matter
almost at the chant to taunt. (ASHLEY) Is there any way for black people to say they matter, they're awesome, they love themselves,
that wouldn't upset white people? (stumbling) I mean, I don't think that white people go around say that I love white people, I mean it's
it's okay to be proud of your heritage (ASHLEY) If you wanna say that
right now, I would be in support of that, if you wanted to yell "I love white
people," this is the place (SAM VOICEOVER) but there was one
thing they were willing to yell (MIKE) can you say black lives matter? All lives matter. All lives matter. All lives matter Could you say just black lives matter, end
the sentence? All lives matter. oh so close All lives matter. The people in Nice, France. Absolutely. Their lives matter. I mean, all lives matter. And black lives matter. Absolutely they– all lives matter. Do black lives matter? (together) All lives matter. I knew — totally knew that– this is the weirdest
thing. just pick a number between one and ten. Seven! (SAM VOICEOVER) there's just one problem with putting
white people in charge of the conversation about race what do you think Black Lives Matter
wants, what are they asking for? I wouldn't have a clue. (SAM VOICEOVER) it seems most white people know fuck all
about the movement they're so upset about Do you think black lives matter wants to
not have law enforcement? they need to make sure they're up front
and outright discrediting and condemn the violence So they've done that, what's next? you know, I think they got to change the name Well I don't think they're saying only black
lives matter. I do, I do, I 100% do. Because Black Lives Matter is an evil
organization. Bordering on domestic terrorism, in my view It has no more a place in our body politic than the KKK or the skinheads I was a prosecutor who brought cases
before a grand jury for police action shootings (SAM VOICEOVER) Okay so, he knows police sometimes shoot the wrong guy your chances of being shot by the police
are non-existent if you respect authority, if you don't
pull a gun on them, if you don't run away from them, if you cooperate with the law
enforcement, put your hands on the steering wheel, play along with what they asked you to do Non-existent? Absolutely. Long as I got my hands up, they're not going to shoot me this is what I'm thinking. They're not
gonna shoot me. Wow was I wrong (SAM VOICEOVER) To be fair, that Florida cop was aiming for the unarmed autistic man, not the (SAM VOICEOVER) unarmed black man probably not going to change my mind on
the opinion, on the topic right now learning more information wouldn't
change your mind? no, not on this topic, no. So there's nothing black lives matter could do to make you want to know more about that? Uh, no. (SAM VOICEOVER) But the good news is, aside from this State Senate candidate with cotton in his ears, most people we talked to did want to
understand, at least when faced with an actual black person forcing them to
think critically about what they were about to say do you think it's possible that
sometimes black people get more scrutiny from police than other people? absolutely, it's certainly possible. I support the police a hundred percent but when people have real grievances, I also
support that. Getting to the root of the matter. As a white person, I always feel
like no matter what I say it's going to be offensive and I don't want to be that way. I want
to be able to reach, I want to be able to reach out to you, because again I'm in this little
white skin and so I've never had to totally relate to that. I want to. I don't know whether to say African American or black and it makes I get nervous because
I don't want to say the wrong thing and so anyway that's just one example like
of learning how to communicate better you want a trick?
–Yes. You can ask the person. There you go. Thank you. What would you prefer to be called? What would you prefer to be
called? I prefer to be called black. Would you say black lives matter? Yes, of course black lives matter but not in this, in this sense of like am I a
supporter of that movement I don't know enough about it So would you say, black
lives matter, pending research Yeah. Bad news, Donald Trump. White
conservatives are creeping ever closer to getting woke for something other than
brunch we'll be right back

  1. so uncomfortable watching all those people squirm. to be fair, it's the PC culture that created the wimpy squirm but a sqirm nonetheless

  2. Someone explained it to me as, when you hold a rally to support cancer treatment, you're not saying sufferers of other diseases don't matter, you're just focusing on cancer for right now. Calling attention to the needs of the black community doesn't mean others don't matter. It's just time to examine how police target the black community, and what can be done about specific problems affecting the black community. When people say all lives matter it's basically refusing to acknowledge that the black community suffers a particular plight.

  3. the problem is….that "the white man" has had no repercussions from what the forefathers of this country did hundreds of years ago to indigenous nations in order to build this country. there has been no compensation to and no penalty for. there is no justification in being ignorant. its past time to pay up, payment overdue and is in default.

  4. What is interesting is that the people all say the same thing…that they know nothing about why black lives matter really exists. That they are so removed that they don't even know how to communicate to another race. It's interesting. Not unnerving. It's info I wld use if I was someone interested in changing minds

  5. For more than 400 years, it was popularized that black lives didn’t matter. That we only counted as 1/3rd of a human. So BLM is NEEDED to WAKE UP America. The agenda isn’t saying that “Only black lives matter” we are saying “Hey!! Black lives matter TOO” and the all lives matter is just a protest to our protest. They are the ones with no agenda. We have one, they just don’t want to see it. 🤷🏾‍♀️

  6. Republicans are saying I don't know anything about this movement, but I know I don't like it. That makes no sense at all. I know almost nothing about the country of Azerbijan, except that the capital city is Panem. Actually that's not true. I don't know the name of the capital city. Panem is the fictional country in the Hunger Games movies, but how many of you thought I was serious? I don't have enough information on this country to form an opinion about it, so why would I hate it?

  7. And these people breed. They pass down their ignorant, uneducated opinions to the next generation who in turn do the same and before you realize it the numbers are staggering.

  8. Shamefully, I was once one of those people saying ALL lives matter, but then again, I'm a white girl who has also been harassed and wrongfully convicted by police, so while I can empathize, most the white folks I know don't have experience with this pervasive problem. I stand strong with my fellow American's who suffer this abuse daily. #BlackLivesMatter

  9. "No other group of people has contributed more to society than white people." … what about writing, math, education, irrigation, architecture, paper, explosives, kites, hot chocolate, and the wheel?

  10. 1:24 and following
    Mesopotamia and the Iraq are inhabited by white people.
    The Arabs are counted as dark Europeans or dark Kaukasians

  11. This is horrifying how hardheaded these people are. But its cool that they cant help but realize how silly they sound …some of them. Keep up the good work Sam B and crew!!!!💜💜💜

  12. This video is fantastic! The only way we can possibly move forward is just by talking and forming relationships. Like the end showed, when people start to get to know members of other groups, they are less likely to believe racist fear mongering and fake news. Thank you Samantha Bee and your whole team for such great work!

  13. Black lives matter, white lives matter, purple lives matter. And in the case of the latter, they're choking, help them!

  14. white people built the pyramids and the great wall of china! oh and they came from africa. so they were… once black????!!?!?!!?!

  15. I will never get the lack of understanding of the complicity and privilege that 'whiteness' casually takes for granted, when such obvious abuse of the 'other' is so rampant in our countries. It astounds me how much indifference there is among so called intelligent human beings. First to protest if and when it happens to themselves, yet the last to acquaint that with a shared distaste of the experience, of racial abuse. Racism should never be a tolerance. Systemic racism must always be challenged and then dismantled, for all our sakes.

  16. If your narrative for a story about a police shooting goes like "WHITE cop shoots "BLACK teen" then yeah, you're the racist.
    For me, it's Darren Wilson shoots Mike Brown and there's no mention of race involved.

  17. I had so much respect for the way the Bee's correspondants gently nudged people towards thinking more critically about what they were saying and got them to admit how they feel. And it shows that much of the problem comes from fear (which leads to anger), guilt and not knowing how to reach out and communicate in a loving way with one another. And as a reporter (who has covered many events by the far left of democrats and covered rural republican trump country) I have seen this on "both sides".
