Loved this
when you expect to hear Black ppls perspectives of how the world has changed since when they was younger to now and all you watch is 18mins of Trump bashing.
Sending someone to the DMV is arguably way worse then destroying their shit, its soul crushing
Baron Vaughn is hilarious on Superstore
Two person stand up is distracting...
When sis said "She lost her rhythm, during the Trump Era," I felt that 🤦🏾
Me during Trump: 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 Me now: 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
9:24 In NYC many cab drivers are undercover police officers. I had a similar experience. I left a club on the Lower East Side and got inside a cab waiting at the curb. I was just going crosstown to Bleeker Street. For what would've been a five minute/five dollar ride, the cab driver yelled out "I'm not going to Brooklyn!" and drove me to the Ninth Precinct on 5th Street. He got out the cab and went to talk to some uniform officers until I got out and walked home. I think that was worse than all the other times cabs didn't stop for me put together.

Genius.
BLACK POWER BISH
12:44 This lady needs a show where does exactly what she says.
Eddie griffin is a absolute moron lmfao Claims voting for someone whose orange is madness, oh wait thats racism. Discriminating someone for the color of their skin. "When you vote for a "black" man thats madness!"
I'm gonna send you to the dmv bahahahaha lmao
GINA! I miss her, we already have a lack of black women on British TV. When she went state-side, she left a hole here.
Wow American blacks are racist af
Ehhhhh only one was actually funny
First time i hear female comedians not talking about their vaginas, it was very funny ill search for more now :)
Lol y'all still blaming trump 🤣 you're prisoners of your own mind at this point
Not that funny.
Who laughed? Click here \/
7 minutes in and I have yet to laugh.... Does it get better?
If we call everyone racist, then how do we know who’s actually racist?
Who owns Comedy Central? I need a black owned comedy channel.
@Peter Lange Kevonstage has a new app for comedy streaming
Wtf, why, why does there have to black and white anything, smh
Or streaming platform
This is so sad so many people are so misinformed.
Their opinions were dope...well articulated.....but their material ( jokes) sucked..........................time for a new dream ! Except for the legend Eddie Griffin
Black live matters
I do love that" I'm gonna F*** up your day! Any DMV will damn shore do that! Lol!
@David Ramos he is so damn funny but speaks the truth!
Black madness
Negus running a muck
Say cuzz
Y’all talking about IQ... yeah with the most fucked up thing about it is y’all are literally hating on the one who isn’t racist while supporting the ones who are… You’re calling people a Thomas Sowell an uncle Tom when in fact it’s Sheila Jackson or Maxine Waters. Brilliant.
Roy Wood Jr. Huge fan!!
The amount of HATE coming from white males on this comment section is alarming but also hilarious Y’all are pathetic
First I’m black :second we will never rise if we still think it’s black & white🤦🏿♂️
@phanatic215 If a political candidate is obviously racist, all the people who voted for that guy and put him in power are guilty. I know that's easier to believe that one guy is the reason that the society is in this bad shape, but be realistic and see the hard truth: half of the population is close minded and when they see a person that's different from them, they reject any contact from the start.
It's black versus racism; and the majority of racists that have power over other people are white. Here stands the problem...
amen we need to start being americans again standing up for each other and holding the powers at be accountable and do what's best for all of us instead of going at each other
It's rich versus poor, with the rich convincing us it's black versus white.
When you really think about the iQ of plant life is light years ahead of us😂😂😂jokes on you
Thank You Comedy Central
When you vote for someone with the IQ of plant life that’s madness 😂😂😂👏🏾
Who wouldn't want a carnival barker as president if the most powerful country in the world they said. Don't be so serious, it'll be funny, they said. It won't kill you they said.
idk, plants are actually able to communicate with each other in and coexist with all other life in their environments. Which would be an improvement.
🤣🤣
Um........England was one of the first countries to ban and outlaw slavery around 1803'ish!! (I think France was first in late 1700's) even setting up the west Africa squadron (naval force) to blockade and intercept any British ships illegally carrying slaves. Why does trump keep coming up, btw black lives matter started in 2014 (under Obama)
@I am a genius and proudly black I think you need to brush up on your facts a bit too. While you know your history, you bombed your current events. There was no protesting "demanding the arrest" of the officer that killed Floyd. He was arrestedv& charged quickly. *Everyone* condemned what happened to Floyd...even Trump. Yet protests & riots & arson & looting were initiated *anyway* & continued. Which gave the impression that justice was not the imperative. That it didn't matter that the world was in their side. It hampered the objective
black Take them to SCHOOL!👏👏👏
Haha. It is funny yet concerning because you are actually cherry picking the facts to suit your own narrative. (FYI: 1. France abolished slavery TWICE. First in 1794 then reinstated it in 1802 then abolished it in 1848. Both of which, were the result of slave revolts occuring within its empire. 2.England abolished importation of slaves in 1807 but kept its institutions alive until 1833.) England and France abolished slaves due to the decline of its profitability not for ethical reasons and here you are trying to absolve these countries from the crimes they committed against humanity as if they did them a favor in doing so. The scramble of Africa also validates my point even further that they did this for their enrichment and self preservation. And lastly, it is true that the blacklivesmatter movement was found under the Obama administration but the murder of George Floyd occurred under Trump's administration and he seemingly did nothing about it, except tweeting a tweet written 'law and order' which was intended to intimidate the protesters who were calling for the officer who killed George floyd to be arrested. Your comment made you seem ignorant and well... misinformed. CHECK YOUR SOURCES.
Wait until you find out the shit France and England does in Africa to this day
Rutherford B. Hayes won his election by promising to end Reconstruction in the South. Hayes, the first person to lose the popular vote, opened the door for Jim Crow laws, that made Black Lives Matter less.
Pay Chapelle you hypocrites
Yeah, I really can't fuck with comedy central
haha haha funny.....
I love that this is a Color Of Change video but the are white folks in the comments that are HATING so hard. You love to see the anxiety this causes them 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have no interest whatsoever in watching their racist entertainment. If this is so offensive, why are they here? Just to get mad? These people are the most unhappy folks in America. Hate doesn't feel good to anyone. It really does corrupt the hater as much as the hated. I don't know why they do it to themselves.
Of course SOME are, they just blasting white people for no fucking reason, biden is racist but the left swept that shit under the rug, these people hypocrites, perios
Right 😂
This isn't "dark humor". It's comedians that happen to be black telling jokes.
I thinks its a pun title
trash
Great video💕
Whah! I’m offended!! Foh
Can we get a full list of all of the comedians in this vid so everyone's credited
It's on the description I know no one ever checks it but it's there. Lol
When they first appear there name comes up or it happens for most of them
Check the description
@Hana Omer anytime, have a good day!
@thehe7balist thank you!!
I’m a petty rioter that had me dying, I’m gonna wait until the cover of night, steal your registration send your ass to the DMV.🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣
I didn't see this on MSNBC? What news is doing this???
Tampering with registrations on cars is a Federal Felony with mandatory jail time of 2 weeks.
All I'm saying is Trumps crazy ass inspired some awesome comedy... comedians have their work cut out over the next 4 years cos Biden is BORING! .
Obama gave us back our lands out here on the reservation .
Wow, I'm glad to hear that.
So american politics more like super hella fakewoke "white people are racist" routine thats gotten old as fuck now
OrAnGe MaN BaD
On the serious side of funny. On the painful side of true. Before racsism becomes a joke it hurts a lot of people.
Complicated isn't it. I intended to reply: I think it shows growth. I always warn my daughters- you're not going to believe this, but you are gonna laugh at this. Every time, I was ready to KILL my brother, eventually I find myself laughing at whatever it was. So being able to laugh, to me, does show growth- and acceptance. But should we ever hit a point of "acceptance" when we are talking about racism. And my brother and I love each other- so we can laugh at when he gave me 6 stitches. White people, not so much. I don't know. I think about these things alot. As a biracial woman, as a mother, as a civil rights advocate. I try to wrap my head around slavery, such an odd relationship even back then- to have people in your home that you neither like nor trust, yet they have access to everything and everyone you hold dear, and those people hate you with a passion- but God forbid you clean your own house or pay a cook. All these things hold true for the white woman, to some degree a slave, herself, standing by as her husband does everything from rape to fall in live with slave women. She watches her husband's children grow, watches them multiply in number. After the Civil War, many plantation owners found themselves dependent on the generosity of their former slaves, who were naturally more resourceful. And these slaves returned to their former masters, with food, water, etc, or to protect the women left vulnerable. Is this loyalty, genuine affection, history's first demonstration of Stockholm Syndrome? Our relationship with white people has always been a complex one. I wish I knew how many centuries it will take to normalize.
Trump lost the election in 2016 by 2.9 million votes after The Electoral College told us. He doesn't speak for me and he doesn't share the morals or values of anyone that I know and love.
And while you are right, there still was more than 40% of the population who voted for him. That's a scary thing
do you even know why we use the electoral college vote over the popular vote?
Plan C seems to happen real quick and seems to be more of a plan A instead.
Hmm....were we as a nation listening to plan A when it was tried?
Civil Disobedience လုပ်ကြသော ပြည်သူ့၀န်ထမ်းဆရာ၀န်များ၊အင်ဂျင်နီယာများနှင့်အတူ ရပ်တည်သွားပါမည်။ #civil_disobedience #stay_at_home_movement #save_myanmar #Myanmar_Physiotherapist #MoHS_staff #Myanmar_Doctors #Myanmar_Dentists #Myanmar_Nurses
Keep em fake reviews comming
Wow did Trevor Noah steal that guys vote???
Plan C is a bad plan.
One minute in and not a single laugh
@G P yea it says he likes actual comedy not a false narrative
That’s says more about you then it does about any particular comedian
Abandoning your kids...that's a black thing
FDT... Much respect and love. ✌️✊🏻🤜🏻🤛🏿✊🏿
Much love 🥂🖖🏿
I guess rioting isn't but looting has been js its all be from the left
Roy Woods where did you find the first comedian in the soup line?
this is great.
👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥Eddie Griffin nailed it-- those peo- tRumpers were driven to Madness by Obama being in office for 8 years!! Nothing but Madness could explain so many voting for that orange monster!!💓💓✌️
This is brilliant. Thank you!
if dookie could do it so can anyone
What happened after the Rodney King verdict
Over half way through. Could you put a funny joke in somewhere?
@Alan Camacho what narrative lol
comedy central cares more about a narrative rather than comedy
Sadly the answer is no
"Ayanna Dookie" Am I the only one who paused when they saw her name? Lool
So good! Laughed so hard I spilled the tea. Thanks for the great line-up.
I made it about 6 mins in then had to stop, but I'm not black. There is certainly racism out there. I have met many, but if all you watch is cnn and msnbc then your going to think everyone is racist. When I drive into the big city I live around, the lawns are not even mowed. Is that because of white people? No it isn't. Get off the couch and do something and everybody will respect you.
This was a great use of my time. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
F
I LOOOOOVE IT!!!! MORE MORE MORE. Thank you my black comedians for keeping it real, and making us laugh, we need you. Big up! Everyone who made this show a reality!!
@Mylife72 we can’t ask for a video for only white comedians because then we’d be labeled as “racist”.
@Landon Comella Hey Landon, there are different topics, themes and genres when it comes to comedy just like there is with music and movies. Stop trying to tell people to not like something just because it makes you feel insecure.
@Landon Comella because this is about black comedians. You want white comedians go find a video for one. This is ours, for us, and it's hilarious! White people hear or see black and go red. Then the whataboutism kicks in. Geez we have our own comedy and what's funny to us just mind yours
How about more good, funny comedians rather than more “black” comedians. Race has nothing to do with how funny you are.
So trumps a racist yet Biden voted for segrigation.
Trump made the black unemployment rate at its lowest ever in US history, it’s better to have a president that creates an economy and jobs that give you the opportunity to be successful and empowered than to have democrats treating you like you’re too stupid to succeed while killing your jobs and trying to make you their slaves with reliance on government assistance and doing nothing but fueling racial tension. Trump wanted Americans to be successful and self sufficient, that’s why black unemployment was at its lowest. Black people were being hired, jobs were available for every level of qualification from minimum wage to high level professional. Black people were in positions to be able to start their own businesses. Democrats use black people, they push racism and they try to cripple black Americans and communities by killing jobs and business then putting black people in desperate situations so they are reliant on government assistance. Democrat politicians predate and use black people to get themselves into office, then they abandon them, let their communities go to ruin, and get rich from their special interest corporate and foreign relationships. They use black voters as stepping stones for themselves. Why is Obama a multimillionaire after becoming president? Talking tens of millions plus multimillion properties around the world. When he left office and while he was president what did your bank account, bills, assets, career look like? Did it change? Don’t buy into these politicians and media that use you and view you as stupid and easily manipulated. You’re strong enough and smart enough to see through it and decide on what will be best for you rather than what they tell you what is best for you. Prime example is Biden saying, “you’re not black if you don’t vote for me...” that’s Obama’s VP. Democrats don’t give a shit about you or anyone else.
I'm going to sit here and watch the comment section fill with arguing and political opinions
this helped me thank you
How come there's so much talk about equal rights for African Americans. But not any for Asian Americans?
@Trinity Lee thank you for taking the time and energy to contribute such thoughtful, meaningful and informative discourse in a place where hateful and ignorant misinformation (and The Dunning Kruger effect) permeates. I think the comments on AMget are too often allowed to fester and I think this does real world damage.
@Trinity Lee thanks
@Jake Lee first of all, I want to thank you for continuing this conversation with me. I think it’s a really multifaceted subject with many ethical and controversial topics, and I appreciate the passion and knowledge you’re bringing to the table. As to the point of Asian Americans facing discrimination: I don’t doubt that it’s difficult for Asian Americans to adjust to living in America. My mother immigrated here when she was seven; she vividly remembers the experience of being disoriented in a new country with a different language and living with very little money to spare. Those experiences of Asian immigrants are valid. They do face many hardships, and they have faced much discrimination throughout America’s history (the Chinese Exclusion Act, Japanese internment camps, the “Red Scares” as you mentioned) However, you cannot tell me that they have experienced racism and discrimination to the same extent or to greater extent than African Americans in America. And you certainly cannot prove that Asian Americans today are discriminated against MORE than African Americans. Because it’s apples to oranges; it is morally irresponsible to distract from the effort to save Black lives (actual human lives that are threatened today!) and to instead push for Asians to have equal access to jobs or “education” (aka Harvard - in reference to Harvard’s affirmative action case, which I do think is bogus. Affirmative action does not harm Asians or whites. The percentage of Asians enrolled in Harvard is already greater than the percentage of Asians in the US. You can’t tell me that’s discrimination. Black people and Hispanic + Latino people are *not* underqualified for these jobs or spots in colleges; they are not simply chosen to fulfill a quota. What will it take to prove to you that they deserve their spot/their opportunities?) I can’t help but reiterate that Black Americans were actually enslaved by whites in this country. For a very very long time. They were viewed as subhuman, as animals. (Not that Asians haven’t been dehumanized too. And Jews. And the Irish. But the propaganda used to dehumanize Black folks was used for so long and it was so commonplace that it is still affecting American culture today (i.e. using blackface, false reports “proving” that Blacks are not as intelligent as whites, the list goes on)).And that intense racism has permeated institutions, laws, and American culture to this day. You mentioned that it is problematic for me to believe that America is inherently racist but I disagree. I think this country was founded by racist people on racist principles; the very foundation of our government and society was built upon racism. And so, this fight for Black lives, this fight for reparations, and this fight against racism *is* a long overdue overhaul, and it is absolutely necessary. And to say this does not minimize the Civil Rights Movement and the work that has been done to gain equal rights for Black Americans-if anything, this statement that Amerikkka is inherently racist echoes the beliefs and teachings of some of the greatest Black revolutionaries. Yes, America has made a lot of progress on some racial disparities. But that shouldn’t mean we should settle now and accept the level of racism we see today. We should not accept that UNARMED Black people and children are being killed for no good reason. Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tamil Rice. White people are still automatically seeing Black folks as dangerous criminals, and that needs to be addressed - especially when they are the police officers charged with protecting everyone. We should not accept that POISONOUS industrial facilities are concentrated in neighborhoods of color. Poor air quality and an high levels of pollution create greater risk of asthma and other physical conditions in Black people living in these neighborhoods, especially children. Environmental racism is a real issue that is occurring today. We should not accept GLARING disparities in education. There are still school systems where a school in a poorer neighborhood will receive funding proportionate to the income level of its surrounding neighborhood and as a result, students in that neighborhood receive poorer education and few resources. This creates a roadblock to higher education, thus preventing Black youth from accessing high-paying jobs that require college degrees, thus forcing Black people into blue collar jobs and enforcing this cycle of poverty. Bottom line: Asian Americans and many other minorities have faced awful discrimination and hardships throughout America’s history and in recent times. However, Black Americans have endured racism like no other, racism that has permeated our society so thoroughly that we still see it taking their lives or destroying the quality of their lives today. And that is why I refuse to take up space to demand reparations for Asian Americans right now. This is the opportune moment to continue the conversation on race and how America has treated and is treating Black lives. I will not be the one to take the momentum away from that movement. I will say that by supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and by fighting alongside them and other minorities for justice and equal rights, we will be able to uplift the call for equal treatment of Asian Americans at its opportune time.
@Jake Lee You’re right, I haven’t experienced a lot of life yet, and I live in a pretty liberal city, so I won’t face a lot of the racism or discrimination that Asians do face elsewhere. But I do feel the squeeze of the model minority myth, and I do work my ass off every day as a student to stand out. I’m applying to colleges and scholarships this year, and I definitely see how affirmative action might seem like it’s hurting Asians (although I don’t think Asian students should have won the Harvard Affirmative Action case... I can speak more on that later if you want) but when comparing the discrimination against Asians to the discrimination against Hispanics, Latinx, and Black folks (which, first of all, we shouldn’t be comparing suffering? it’s not a contest to see who faces more racism?) I don’t see Asian Americans facing the same level of risks and hardships. That doesn’t mean I don’t think Asians deserve the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. That just means that when Black folks are targeted by police every day and everywhere, when their neighborhoods have less access to healthy foods, when industrial facilities settle in their communities to poison their air, when they receive poor education because school funding is proportionate to neighborhood wealth, and when they can’t get out of the cycle of crime and poverty because of that poor education and lack of opportunity, they are facing active discrimination that is a lot worse than what Asian Americans are dealing with. Again, Asian Americans do deal with discrimination, and that discrimination can be similar or different than what African Americans face. That’s valid. And you’re right, it’s not our fault we weren’t enslaved. But that does mean that when a Black person is killed by a police officer and Black people demand to be treated fairly, it’s not our place to say “Wait I want fair treatment too!” Which race needs equality and justice in this moment? Our nation is seeing how we have built a system of oppression on Black people throughout history and how we are upholding that today. Why do we need to distract from that mission, which is already long overdue? Black lives are being treated like they don’t matter in this country. It’s a serious problem in every classroom, courtroom, and police station. Asian lives are not at risk to this extent. So we don’t need to distract from the mission at hand: to finally start working on reparations and support for black communities and to stop implementing and strengthening systems of oppression.
@Trinity Lee You're downplaying the struggles of Asians. I highly doubt you've actually experienced anything Asians go through. Asians face tons of active discrimination. Affirmative action literally puts a hard cap on all facets of life. Asians have to work harder for everything. That means we gotta work harder to get jobs, schools, visas and citizenship, and getting legal representation. We were never outright enslaved, but that's not our fault. It's not a bad thing Asians worked hard to get where they are. This is entirely a white and black issue.
This was actually trash. Boo fucking hoo. I've seen more crazy shit than any of what is getting talked about and I don't blame Trump. Bad jokes, all the way.
Man I needed a good laugh! Cop: Tell me a joke Him: You pulled me over in a "cab" that is the joke! Freaking hilarious!!
For the racists, a black president drove them crazy. For everyone else, a black president that didn't change things for working folk or un-rig the economy against them, an orange brick seemed like a better option.
Only someone with absolutely no understanding of “the economy” could think this.
Loving the dr. Seuss rhymes.
Love Gina!! It’s not our fault we didn’t know there were black folk in the UK. They were NEVER in any of the BBC tv or films.
Who knew? 🤷🏽♀️
MADNESS!!! They lost their mind. Cuz it made no logical sense to vote for him. They had plenty of choices.
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This was awesome- great voices to hear!
This isn't dark humor. Shit it's not even humorous....
Black people peacefully protest. The right criticizes and doesn’t listen. Black people kneel for the anthem. The right says it’s disrespectful and criticizes. (Kaepernick was asked to kneel by a veteran and kneeling is what you do before royalty so that doesn’t even make sense) Black people get tired of not being listened to and protest and in frustration things escalate. The right portrays them as monstrous and criticizes saying “There are better ways to protest”. Am I wrong or does this shit not make damn sense?
@Katie K. I totally agree with you. I was at a friends house that had Fox “News” on and they showed a clip of Pelosi talking about the peaceful protestors immediately followed by clips of burning buildings and people rioting.
@MissMiserize if you’re willing to watch, here’s a quick video on what I think Jake Lee is talking about. amget.info/have/ip-h1ouNmKDYZIw/video.html
I blame the media for this almost entirely. The ONLY stories they showed had some level of violence. If it was truly peaceful? Nah, give it a mention, no reason to show anything. No wonder so many people think it was more violent than it really is!
@Jake Lee Also, how did you know I was a democrat?
@MissMiserize Nah, they really didn't. Their values are all still the same. Still value stronger government control. Still value social reforms even if they don't make sense. Still think minorities are too stupid to make their own decisions. Now, you can support them willingly and that's fine. But it ain't the party for me when everything it does puts you at a disadvantage
