a woman made history for being the first person

to be sent to prison for being racist.

Right, yeah, spoiler alert, she's white.

(laughing)

So this woman, I'm thinking her name's Vicki Momberg,

and what happened was her car was broken into

and two policemen showed up and these policemen

were both black and then she just went

on a racist tirade against the policemen, a tirade,

she was like, "I don't want black policemen,"

but she didn't just go black policemen,

she called them kaffirs, which is basically

South Africa's version of the N word,

but it's almost worse than the N word

because like in America, black people own

the N word, they're like we're gonna take it,

we're gonna use it in hip hop,

we're gonna make it cool.

In South Africa, people are just like no.

There's like no, we're not gonna do that at all.

So, it's another word, it's kaffir

and we didn't use nigger because America

had a trademark, right.

And so then she like, she said this to the cops 48 times.

Like she was like, "Oh, I don't need you Ks

"coming here, I don't need you, I don't need this."

Like, "I want a white policeman and I want

"an Indian policeman.

"I don't want to be dealing with you monkeys.

"You guys if I see another one of you

"I'll shoot you and I'll run you over with my car."

And she said 48 times is how many times she said.

Imagine someone saying that to a cop here,

48 times saying the N word.

Which is insane, because I mean like

that's lenient cops in my opinion.

Because like the first 10, I think the cops

are like all right, you're angry, we get it.

And the second 10 they were like okay,

I think you're racist.

And then third 10 they're like yo,

you better slow down.

Fourth 10 they were like she's not getting

to 50 is she, she's not getting to 50.

And then 48, they were like shut it down.

Yeah, and then she was arrested and they sent,

they sent her to three years in prison

for saying that.

(applauding)

Which is, but it's like,

it's crazy because a lot of Americans

when they hear the story would be like

but that's free speech, you can't arrest somebody

for saying something.

But the thing, here's the thing, here's the thing.

I understand that completely and I mean

it's a larger discussion to wrap your head around,

but I will say this, you've got to understand

in South Africa, after apartheid ended,

like why people were never punished, right,

like it's not like the government was like

we're gonna send white people to jail

and we're gonna take white people's houses

and we're taking white people's money

and things white people stole.

No, government was like hey, let's move forward, okay.

Clean slates, let's move forward.

Let's get this country to where it needs to be.

The only thing we're gonna take away

is this racist word, that's all.

And then some white people would be like

okay, but I just want one thing,

can I have the racist word back?

And then they still want to use the word

and then they were like, no,

and so that's like, now this person

has gone to jail and what I find funny

is like people who are online,

they're like this is, this is a tyranny,

that's what this is, this is oppression.

Like, you know, like what am I supposed to do.

It's like just don't be racist.

(laughing)

I love how people make it like it's

the hardest thing ever.

It's not like you go to jail for like mistake racism.

This is like hard core racism and people

are like I don't know how I can live in this country.

South Africa has become a tyranny.

Like I can go to jail for just being racist.

Yeah, yeah, for saying a racist word 48 times

to the police, yeah, yeah.

No, this is horrible, what am I supposed to do?

Just don't be racist, that's all.

Just don't say the word.

They're like this is horrible.

I'm like it's not actually that horrible.

Like I'm willing to bet if like you had

that situation flipped, imagine if a black person

in America said like cracker to a white cop

48 times, I would have been shocked

if they got to 15 before they got shot.

That shit would have ended real quick.

You cracker, you cracker, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Be like oh, shit what happened?

I thought his words were a gun, I'm so sorry.

I, oh, my God, that got me.
