While I understand that racism is important to the host (and to me too), I get tired of hearing about it every, single episode. Laughing at something is just as powerful as hating. It can be used as an equal motivator for stoping something evil, like racism. There are a million chances for jokes that he is missing where this show would be ten times funnier and just as effective against racism. We NEED to laugh right now. With all the horror that’s happening around us, we NEED funny. This guy hasn’t delivered a good, solid laugh in a long time. He needs new writers.

Aw shucks, super duper sorry that being black in America means that you can be murdered in the street by cops who face no consequences. It should be so much more light-hearted to be shot dead in your home, or walking down the street, or driving a car. If Trevor Noah and his writing staff would just make more jokes about having a skin color that serves as an arbitrary death sentence, I sure would get to laugh more. Cause we NEED funny right now. Racism is a real bummer, huh? Sure wish people didn’t take it so darn seriously.
