  • (upbeat music) (audience cheering)

  • - Madiba's light shone so brightly,

  • even from that narrow, Robben Island cell,

  • that in the late '70s,

  • he could inspire a young college student

  • on the other side of the world.

  • Mandela said, "Young people are capable when aroused

  • "of bringing down the towers of oppression

  • "and raising the banners of freedom."

  • Now is a good time to be aroused.

  • - Let's just acknowledged how dope you have to be

  • for people to keep throwing you birthdays after you're dead.

  • (audience laughs)

  • And because today marks 100 years since his birth,

  • I just wanted to spend a few minutes talking about the man.

  • Right, he joined politics when he was just 26 years old,

  • partly to fight racial inequality,

  • and also because he had just been kicked off

  • his parents' Obamacare.

  • (audience laughs) Now, at first,

  • at first the ANC fought for racial equality peacefully,

  • but the racist government only got more oppressive.

  • In fact in 1948, South Africa's government set up apartheid

  • which made legal racism the foundation

  • of the entire country.

  • Black people couldn't vote,

  • they had to live in certain areas,

  • and they were banned from playing sports with white people.

  • And I'm not gonna lie,

  • that last part I completely understand.

  • All right, I mean if your system

  • is based on white supremacy,

  • you can't have black people dunking all over your shit.

  • (audience laughs)

  • It just doesn't go with the narrative,

  • like white people are superior, ah!

  • Wait, I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready.

  • (audience laughs)

  • In fact, the government became so oppressive

  • that Mandela and the ANC decided to resort to violence.

  • They bombed power stations, post offices,

  • and I mean they did it when people weren't in there,

  • but still, they blew shit up.

  • And there were many people, not just in South Africa,

  • but around the world, who wanted him to respond

  • to the brutality of the government with civility,

  • to which Mandela replied, bullshit.

  • (audience laughs)

  • - There are many people who feel

  • that it is useless and futile for us

  • to continue talking peace and non-violence

  • against a government whose reply

  • is only savage attacks

  • on an unarmed and defenseless people.

  • - Now I know for a lot of people

  • seeing a young, radical Mandela, that's a bit of a shock.

  • Yeah, it's like finding out one of the Care Bears

  • mauled a hiker to death.

  • (audience laughs)

  • I mean, I'd expect that out of Tenderheart,

  • but you Funshine?

  • (audience laughs)

  • But you see, Nelson Mandela believed that violence

  • was necessary to fight a violent government.

  • And he paid a price for it.

  • In 1962, when Mandela was 44 years old,

  • the apartheid government arrested him,

  • and sentenced him to life in prison.

  • And what he said in the docks is legendary.

  • He said, "I've cherished the ideal

  • "of a democratic and free society.

  • "It is an ideal which I hope to live, and to achieve,

  • "but if needs be, it is an ideal

  • "for which I am prepared to die."

  • Now, Nelson Mandela's story up to that point was impressive,

  • but it's what he did after he came out of prison

  • that transformed him from a leader to a legend.

  • All right, because when he became South Africa's

  • first black president,

  • he reconciled the country, and he insisted

  • that white people be a part of it.

  • And you realize, this is a black country

  • and he's the first black president.

  • He could've easily just said,

  • "I'll give you white people a 10 minute headstart."

  • (audience laughs)

  • "You guys put me in prison for 30 years.

  • "I don't even know what a Walkman is!

  • (audience laughs)

  • "I just hope I get to meet Elvis, what?

  • "Five minute head start!"

  • (audience laughs)

  • (audience applauds)

  • So you see, this is just part of why

  • people like Barack Obama look up to Nelson Mandela.

  • This is a man who grew up in a country steeped in racism,

  • spent decades in prison fighting it,

  • and then dedicated his life to a world of racial progress.

  • And, most impressively, when he was asked

  • why he's not bitter, he had this to say.

  • - You end up coming out of prison,

  • and there is no bitterness.

  • How is there no bitterness?

  • - Well, I hated oppression.

  • And when I think about the past,

  • the type of things they did, I feel angry.

  • You have a limited time to stay on earth.

  • You must try and use that period

  • for the purpose of transforming your country.

  • - And that's why he's a legend.

  • (audience cheering)

  • You must remember, because of so many

  • of the struggle leaders in South Africa,

  • were either imprisoned or exiled,

  • the movement in South Africa was held together,

  • in large part, by women in the country,

  • and so it's weird for me, because I understand,

  • you travel the world, you understand that everywhere

  • feminism is different, and the idea of women is different,

  • but I grew up in a world that was very matriarchal,

  • and where women were the most dangerous

  • freedom fighters that existed.

  • That is true.

  • You read up on Winnie Mandela,

  • like Nelson Mandela was an icon,

  • but the police in the country were afraid of Winnie Mandela.

  • They were, and we had a phrase in South Africa that was,

  • we still use it today, which was,

  • (speaks in foreign language)

  • which means "You strike a woman, you strike a rock."

  • And that's what I grew up learning.

  • (audience cheering)

  • Kudos, man.

  • It was fire.

  • It was fire, and a lot of the time

  • my mom would strike me with a rock.

  • (audience laughs) (audience applauds)

  • - [Announcer] February 1, 1965.

  • It's the Black History Monty Daily Show.

  • (audience laughs)

  • - Welcome to "The Daily Show."

  • I'm Trevor Noah.

  • My guest tonight, up and coming comedian Bill Cosby.

  • (audience laughs)

  • This guy's jokes are gonna knock you out.

  • (audience laughs)

  • But we begin in Selma, Alabama.

  • If you aren't familiar with Selma,

  • it's a small southern city located 10 miles east

  • of No Negroes Please, and five miles north of Say, Boy!

  • (audience laughs)

  • And it's also where today, recent Nobel Peace Prize winner

  • Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. got into some legal trouble.

  • - [Reporter] Dateline Selma, civil rights leader

  • the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested today

  • while attempting to lead a mass march of 300 Negroes

  • on the Dallas County courthouse

  • to protest voter registration procedures.

  • The Negroes were taken into custody

  • on charges of parading without a permit.

  • - For more, we go to our

  • junior civil rights correspondent, Roy Wood Sr.

  • Now Roy, what did you see out there?

  • - I saw a bunch of (bleep) Trevor!

  • (audience laughs)

  • Proud Negro men and women being arrested for no reason!

  • - Well now Roy, the police said there was a reason.

  • They were parading without a permit.

  • - Oh, oh, I'm sorry.

  • Did the Klan fill out their paperwork

  • before marching in my neighborhood?

  • (audience laughs)

  • When have you ever seen white people arrested

  • for parading without a permit?

  • - Well Roy, that's just the world we live in.

  • Black people aren't ever gonna get the same treatment

  • as white people, and that's never gonna change.

  • - Actually Trevor, I don't agree.

  • You have to look at the bright side of things.

  • Yeah, maybe the cops arrested Dr. King

  • and a bunch of our brothers and sisters,

  • but they did it this time without violence, that's progress.

  • I mean, 40 years ago white man

  • wouldn't even give a black man a glass of water.

  • Now, not only can we have water,

  • we can get it whether we want it or not!

  • (audience laughs)

  • - I mean I guess you could call that progress.

  • - Oh, I do call that progress.

  • We've gone from lynchin's to beatings,

  • now to peaceful arrests.

  • In fact, I heard Dr. King is coming back right here

  • next month to Selma to march across that bridge

  • and that parade of progress we're making,

  • I betcha it's gonna be a fun day marching arm and arm

  • with the police, and one day they'll make a movie about it.

  • And it'll be called

  • "Selma: The Day When Nothin' Happened at All."

  • (audience laughs)

  • (audience applauds)

  • - For more on Dr. King's legacy,

  • we turn now to Dulce Sloan, everybody!

  • (audience cheering)

  • - Hello!

  • - Dulce, what do you think, and what are you remembering

  • about Dr. King's legacy?

  • - You know what I wanna remember?

  • The real Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King,

  • not the whitewashed Hallmark version,

  • because every year people talk about the same stuff.

  • The "I Have a Dream" speech, the march on Washington,

  • how he had the voice of a "Scooby-Doo" ghost.

  • I have a dream!

  • And I woulda gotten away with it too

  • if it weren't for those meddling kids!

  • (audience laughs)

  • But the real Dr. King did not fit in any box.

  • White moderates think he would've been on their side,

  • but he thought they were worse

  • for the Civil Rights Movement than the Klan,

  • and mattress stores are out here having MLK Day sales,

  • but Dr. King was anti-capitalist,

  • and even though he was a reverend and a man of God,

  • he allegedly had a whole bunch of affairs.

  • - Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on.

  • Even if that's true, I mean that he had affairs,

  • isn't it disrespectful to mention that on his birthday?

  • - I don't think so, it's part of his legacy.

  • A reminder that our heroes aren't perfect, they're people.

  • And I'm not being disrespectful.

  • (audience applauds)

  • Just the opposite.

  • MLK was out there gettin' it.

  • (audience laughs)

  • And probably still could!

  • I mean, if he showed up on my Bumble,

  • I'd take him to the mountaintop, and the valley low!

  • - I've never thought of MLK on Bumble.

  • - Well, he wouldn't be on Tinder!

  • That man had class.

  • (audience laughs)

  • If everyone knew that fighting for civil rights

  • could get you some?

  • A lot more people would fight for equality.

  • Equal pay, voting rights, and whoever can stop

  • black people from gettin' shot by the police

  • will (bleep) tonight, okay?

  • (audience cheering)

  • - This week marked a milestone in civil rights history.

  • The 50th anniversary of Franklin's first appearance

  • in the comic strip "Peanuts."

  • Now, now it seems like a joke,

  • but the reason this was a landmark

  • is that before Franklin appeared,

  • newspaper comic strips were segregated, right?

  • Black comic strips were always separate

  • from white comic strips.

  • In fact, if you even tried to put the pages

  • of the newspaper together,

  • the police would just break down your door,

  • and you'd be like what?

  • And they'd be like well, well, well,

  • we got a troublemaker over here.

  • So, the character of Franklin was a pretty big deal,

  • and what's really fascinating is his origin story.

  • - [Narrator] April 1968, Martin Luther King

  • had been shot and killed.

  • American cities burned in rage.

  • In California, a 42 year old teacher

  • and mother of three felt helpless.

  • - And I remember sitting in suburbia,

  • saying is there anything I can do?

  • - [Narrator] Harriet Glickman wanted to reach

  • someone with influence.

  • She wrote to Charles Schulz, his "Peanuts" comic strip

  • was read by nearly 100 million people each week.

  • Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, they were all white.

  • Glickman told Schulz, he should integrate.

  • - Okay, that was pretty dope of that lady, but.

  • (audience cheering)

  • Yeah, but,

  • but at the same time,

  • also kind of a weird reaction to a tragedy.

  • I mean, Martin Luther King is dead,

  • there's chaos in the streets, and her first reaction

  • is maybe Charlie Brown can help.

  • (audience laughs)

  • For more on this civil rights trailblazer,

  • we turn now to our very own Roy Wood Jr. everybody!

  • (audience cheering)

  • - What's happenin' man?

  • - Roy, no matter who you are,

  • you've gotta love Franklin, right?

  • - Oh man, love him, are you kidding man?

  • Franklin was a straight up G!

  • Integrated the shit outta "Peanuts."

  • - Yeah, and it must have been a pretty big moment

  • for you as a kid when he first appeared in the strip.

  • - First appeared?

  • That was in 1968.

  • How old do you think I am?

  • (audience laughs)

  • - 50, 40?

  • 60?

  • - I'm 39, Trevor!

  • (audience laughs)

  • 39!

  • Here's the thing, newspaper Franklin was great.

  • Newspaper Franklin was great, you can't argue that,

  • but when they put him on TV, it was a different story.

  • All of the sudden, they made him a stereotype.

  • You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around

  • That's what it's all about

  • (audience laughs)

  • (hip hop music)

  • It's all about all the calls we've done

  • You'll be shakin' in your shoes

  • We're the team invincible

  • And we're not gonna lose

  • (audience laughing)

  • (audience cheering)

  • - Why?

  • Why couldn't Franklin just do the hokey pokey, Trevor?

  • You tellin' me black kids can't put they left foot in,

  • and take they left foot out?

  • It looked like Franklin was auditioning for "House Party 2."

  • (audience laughs)

  • - Yeah, but Roy, but Roy, it's still cool

  • to have him in there, even if he had one dance break.

  • - It was every time with this kid.

  • Any time you walked down the street in Peanutsville,

  • you might run into Franklin and his homeboy pop locking,

  • and even when he's hanging out with his friends,

  • everyone else gets a normal handshake,

  • but no, not Franklin.

  • He gotta slap skin.

  • See what I mean?

  • All the other Peanuts are just kids,

  • but Franklin's runnin' around Peanutville

  • like a damn baby Shaft.

  • (audience laughs)

  • He's a tiny, bad mother--

  • - Shut your mouth!

  • - I'm talkin' about Franklin.

  • Look, I just don't want him to be

  • the other kid all the time.

  • Even at Thanksgiving, yeah they invited him,

  • but look where they put him!

  • (audience laughs)

  • He's by himself!

  • Even the dog gets to sit with the kids.

  • Why is the dog even at the damn table?

  • It's cool though, Franklin, Franklin,

  • look man, Franklin, they did you a favor.

  • You don't want none of that

  • bland ass white people turkey anyway.

  • (audience laughs) (audience applauds)

  • - Today was a day when we got some really sad news

  • that Aretha Franklin passed away.

  • That was, yeah that was,

  • that was rough for a lot of people,

  • and not just because of the music, because of who she was.

  • I remember I used to sing the songs with my mom,

  • so I grew up, most of the time it was just me and my mom,

  • and so I used to sing all the songs

  • not really knowing what they meant, per se,

  • so as a little kid I was confident like.

  • You make me feel like a natural woman

  • (audience laughs)

  • And then I got older and I was just like, whoa, wait,

  • what was I doing?

  • I was like Mom, why didn't you stop me?

  • And she's like, 'cause you looked like a natural woman.

  • You were doing so well.

  • (audience laughs)

  • But what I loved is like, Aretha Franklin,

  • and you see everybody talking about this

  • is it's one of those examples

  • where you see an artist who uses their platform

  • to go beyond just making money and doing what they do.

  • You read these beautiful stories about how Aretha Franklin

  • had it in her contract that she wouldn't perform

  • for segregated audiences.

  • All right, so if audiences were segregated by race,

  • she was like no, I'm not gonna perform.

  • You know, she was one of the first people

  • who supported Angela Davis from the Black Panthers.

  • She fought for Martin Luther King,

  • like this is at a time when it wasn't cool to do that.

  • It was risky to you and your livelihood.

  • You saw what happened with Nina Simone, you know?

  • And she was out there, and she was doing it.

  • And she was making songs that at the time,

  • were crazy when you think of how women

  • were situated in society.

  • I mean, the Me Too Movement has shown

  • that we still have a long way to go,

  • but at that time it was pretty much

  • like women, just keep quiet,

  • and she was out there and "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" was,

  • I mean I remember that as well.

  • My mom used to say that to me,

  • if I'd ever like say something, back chat or whatever,

  • and then my mom would be like, "R-E-S-P-E-C-T!"

  • Then she'd play the song,

  • and I'd be like yeah, "R-P-S-P-E-P-T."

  • Find out what, and she was,

  • you know what I loved about Aretha as well,

  • like the stories that she was gangsta.

  • Like she full on, she only performed

  • when she had her money in cash before the gig.

  • Always.

  • Like her whole life, 'til now, 'til she was like,

  • where's the money?

  • She was the original "bitch better have my money."

  • (audience laughs)

  • Money before the gig, then I sing.

  • I sometimes think to myself

  • like the guy's backstage counting it,

  • and she's doing it word by word.

  • You and I ♪

  • So exciting

  • Hum ha

  • So yeah man, she'll be missed, she will be.

  • Everything we see today, in so many ways,

  • in the music, in music,

  • male and female, is because of her.

  • So, Aretha Franklin, rest in peace man.

  • It's a beautiful, beautiful story.
