Trevor Noah brings lots of laughs to The Daily Show, but not much is funny about his experiences as a black man in America.

In a reaction the death of Philando Castile, who was shot to death at a traffic stop by a police officer last July, the host shared the shocking truth about how many encounters he has had with law enforcement in the United States, simply because of the color of his skin. He said:

“I’ve only lived in the United States six years on and off. I lived on the West Coast two-and-a-half years, I’ve lived on the East Coast now for two-and-a-half years. In that time, I sh– you not, I have been stopped by police maybe, I would say going on at least eight-to-10 times I’ve been stopped by the police, which always blows peoples’ minds, which I didn’t know was a thing.”

The star added:

“I’ve been stopped in a Tesla. Like, a Tesla, people. I don’t know what silent crime you think I’m on my way to commit.”

LOL! Well, he is still a comedian, after all.

Noah went on to point out the fact that the NRA has been notably silent about the tragedy. He said:

“This story is interesting because there’s something different and that is Philando Castile wasn’t just a man shot at a traffic stop. He was a legal gun owner whose family was in the car and who had committed no crime at all. In a story about a man being shot because he was lawfully armed, you would think that one group, one powerful group in America would say something about it. This is a group you’d expect to be losing their goddamn minds about this: the NRA. But for some strange reason, on this particular case, they’ve been completely silent…and yet, according to their rhetoric, this is everything that they stand against.”

Having grown up in South Africa under Apartheid, Noah is no stranger to racism, but feels the training of the police force is exacerbating the issue. He said:

“I believe that the police force as a whole is trained in such a way that it creates state racism. That is different.”
