On 16 August 2012, police in South Africa massacred 34 striking miners without warning. This is what it looked like.

So what do you think Trevor Noah, a native of South Africa, might think of that?

See for yourself.

I'm not sure which part angers me more.

The fact that he thought the massacre of 34 people is good for laughs.

Or that he decided to carry the water for a murderous police force.

Remember that this was the same guy that liberals loved when he wrote this op-ed in the NY Times.



The experience of stepping into Jon’s shoes brought on enormous culture shock for me. In South Africa, where I come from, we also use comedy to critique and analyze, and while we don’t let our politicians off the hook, we don’t eviscerate one another. If anything, my stand-up shows back home are a place where we can push away the history of apartheid’s color classifications — where black, white, colored and Indian people use laughter to deal with shared trauma and pain. In South Africa, comedy brings us together. In America, it pulls us apart.

I guess that depends on who "us" is, Trevor.

I really do hate the wealthy elites that are today's late night comedians.
