The Best of Roy Wood Jr. - Activism Boxes, Toys “R” Us & CP Time | The Daily Show

used to be if you wanted to get people on board with the cause you did it through speeches marches or getting Leo DiCaprio to giving the key anti-racist activists think they've found a better way to get people to take a stand against racism you don't even have to leave your apartment safety pin box is a monthly subscription box for white people who want to be allies in the fight for black liberation so y'all saw blue apron it was like boom that's how we solve racism that's the idea but instead of mailing white people stuff they're excited about like purple potatoes this box contains monthly instructions on how to not be racist and 25% of the profits go to black female activists they also throw in a sticker a wristband you know racism sway and $100 $100 $100 seriously white guilt runs that deep $100 deep because I've seen the news I've seen them Red Hat's white people ain't feeling guilty now they're not well we are coming up at a thousand subscribers yeah that's a big scene we're just as surprised as you are mm-hmm be really y'all put these white people in their business was running like a well-oiled machine with one surprising element white labor did you pay him come on the freedom I had to follow these white tears to the source a subscriber but what kind of crazy white person wants to spend $100 a month to feel bad about themselves the safety pin box has been life-changing it's incredible I absolutely love it love it do is this box worth $100 I don't even go 150 Wow she just guilty was she really parted the struggle on a scale of 1 to 10 how woke would you say you are I wouldn't I wouldn't use that term as a white person trying to dismantle racism and systemic oppression you don't become woke you don't get to this level so you say -6 I'm not doing something to stop it then I'm adding to racism in our culture it's up to me as a white person with power and privilege to use that to help bring other white folks along she thought the wolf talked here in her apartment during our little racism homework but what about the real world it was time to go undercover for Black Liberation my mission can practice what she learned in the safety pin box so hop to my police surveillance van while hard-up tape the sound and put her on the streets was the white version of the streets the park okay we're live hey did you know that the school to Prison Pipeline it's hard right I guess maybe he knows already hey are you two talking about ways that you could be better allies to black people no you're not why not Jesus did you know this nation is built on the backs of slaves hey did you come from this was surprise surprise a lot of people don't want to talk about race well here goes something for you cake ask him if he can explain why in the year 2017 a black person still has to deal with school to Prison Pipeline police harassment harassment corporate pollution ization of Prisons privatization of prisons gotta run faster than that if you want to stop racism white on white what tough is easy time to go next look I just want to first of all apologize for all the appropriation the appropriation let use a black music that we've done I'm sorry for lalala and I'm sorry for Lalo and welcome to the black lady on her computer until they just sorry for all the white people that have ever asked to touch her hair I just wanted to apologize for all white people who ever had touched your hair totally not cool we know they do it I just of some one day I want to say thank you absolutely it was actually really nice guy with the red hat on ask him if he's paid reparations and when he says no ask him if you'd like to buy the two black women coffee do you mind have you paid reparations for they would need for everything I've never paid for anything okay how do you feel about buying these two women coffee would you not be up for that ask them how they want their slavery coffee [Laughter] [Music] I have to go back until Leslie and Marisa the great news their box was working I spent a lot of time with one of you subscribers y'all basically solved racism she fully woke we're not vested in that that's not how we measure our success our success is measured and how much money we can give to black women yeah we've given away $60,000 since January so do you care if like people do any of the stuff in the box do I care as in am i losing sleep over and now that's between you and your white Jesus I can't their credit cards clear y'all look basically tricked white people into giving as reparations pay us what you owe us [Applause] [Music] we heard about the March for our lives in DC but there was another March going down all the way out in Helena Montana and out here is this March people were taking a stand for the real victims of gun violence guns we're blessed to live in a state that believes in individual rights if it was for Donald J Trump second Amendment right now will be gone and that's why they're out celebrating guns of all types we're gun coding Americans do you think our founding fathers would approve of the ar-15 yeah I want to think no it's what I want but I should have a tank because I should be equally armed with whatever the government has so you're the tank rally yeah the cake crowd these take wielding badasses have a solution to stop school shootings we should have armed teachers we'd be more than willing to bring them in and train them absolutely for free all teachers if they can pass a background check teacher can't pass a background check their highs because I want the kids to be safe is it safer to have a gun oh absolutely firearms keep absolutely people safe but filling our schools with guns isn't their only solution cleaner backpacks because you know that the student does not have a gun or something dangerous in that backpack but I thought everybody was supposed to have a gun well schools and but if it's a gun-free zone then you don't want guns there but you just said more guns also needs clear backpacks what is the answer to stopping school shoot all right so I've I've been a cage fighter for ten years would you let cage fighters so I made a living right one of the things everybody always said is man we should get this in one of our high schools so we can stop people from getting guns or we can implement change matches in this absolutely I'm for that I advocate that in a heartbeat but is the March for guns real mission to expose a hidden truth about the March for our lives this is the real march that other March DC oh there they were paid by Liberal Democrats to go there somebody pay for half of many people to go to DC today absolutely that's all over the internet it's not a secret what about the parking studies themselves they're actors they're paid actors say that it's hard to debate a subject when the opposite side just got shot it is shouting those kids are showing a lot of these guys are just crisis actors they really are though they are you don't think they're actual students of parkland to you Nicholas Cruz how did he know how to target specifically the school where the crisis actors were okay but you just you just opened up something that could be a conspiracy that's what we need more conspiracies I was on to was that even though this was a pro-gun rally something seemed missing do you have your gun with you today no you go to a pro gun rally without your gun let's say being sober on Bud Light Island I did not wear my gun here today so [ __ ] that makes people say for why didn't you bring your gun here today that is that is actually turns out the organizers told these folks not to bring their guns because they were worried about safety issues but for all of their guns guns guns these Second Amendment mothers were also freed down with the first witch that anybody could come up to the stage and speak I know wrong over here wants to say a word as well this is the lodge that all the cameras should be up I've learned today that you know guns late people safe [Music] [Applause] which is why we didn't bring our guns today because we understand that that didn't work but luckily this rally ended the way all good rallies do with the big-ass pizza party and that's something I'll happily open Terry [Music] good evening black people people of color and Rachel Dolezal I'm speaking to you tonight from Harlem in New York City and not the gentrified Park with the white people and took it over with muffin shops I'm in a church basement at 450 third Street where it's blacker than a routine family reunion and tonight tonight black people we're here to answer one question what we is we can also celebrate black shits recent recent achievements in technology most notably the shiny shade throwing deaf star that is black Twitter black Twitter single-handedly destroyed hmm for selling a monkey hoodie corporate America used to just fear Jesse Jackson now they feel a retweet from anybody in a do-rag and that's good but remember with great do-rags come great responsibility that's why we're counting on you black Twitter to continue the innovations in the field of slang never has black slang been appropriated so quickly the other day I heard two middle-aged white dudes calling each other thoughts that word is gone push forward black Twitter and create new words really badass words like Coco saengil I'm just spitballing I don't know what that mean y'all figured out that finally brings me to the future of black [ __ ] the first time an african-american woman will be speed skating at the white oullette Winter Olympics in 2018 in 2018 there are over 400 black women running for public office for black citizens you ask what we yes the answer is on our way to a place with the state of black [ __ ] is stronger than ever god bless black people god bless Gayle King and God bless as you may know online shopping has recently had a tough impact on the retail industry and this week it hit one of America's most beloved stores Toys R Us the nation's largest toy store chain filing for bankruptcy protection with the busy holiday season just around the corner the biggest toy store chain in the world now facing a very grown-up problem filing for bankruptcy and five billion dollars in long-term debt the bankruptcy is among the largest ever by a specialty retailer and it could assure in changes to the company's nearly sixteen hundred stores for more on this we turn to our chief business analyst Roy Wood jr. everybody why as someone who spent a lot of time in children's toy stores what are your what are your thoughts on this as a child big time in the store as a child of course all right what would like what happened what did Toys R Us - wrong what Trevor I think what happened with Toys R Us honestly shouldn't surprise investors Toys R Us didn't keep up with the times it's right there in the slogan I don't wanna grow up well you should have there's no more toys now they want gadgets the hack and WikiLeaks on their iPad or extra sketch don't even have Bluetooth even Amish kids were at Toys R Us like Connect four where's the exploding hoverboards times are changing right oh that's a really interesting point Roy and that's not all let's put that mascot stupid-ass giraffe Jeffrey Jeffrey spells it with the G that's a douche bag it's not a kid-friendly name that's the name of a dude who makes his own craft beer under a bowling alley got no swag and then another thing with the stores look I'm not surprised people stopped going to Toys R Us the store is too damn big when I was a kid they had all the good toys up on the high shelf my mama asked me what I wanted for Christmas one year I said a forklift you know who did it right the toy stores inside the mall I Trevor I know coming up in Africa you didn't really come up around shopping malls actually we had some of the biggest shopping malls in the world I'm talk about the ones with a roof look yeah at this place in our balls KB toys it's way better than Toys R Us and parents loved it because they could leave their kids in there while they shopped now little Roy I'm going to look for a nice dress to leave you daddy in you stay here in the store it was great man first of all a KB Toys there thena made it so dope is that you could play with the toys because you could reach them the cashier was cool as hell dude he didn't care if we were tearing up the toys he was too busy trying to bang the girl over at Spencer's gifts and even even when he caught me shoplifting third grade he caught me shoplifting he didn't call the cops he just looked me dead in the eyes and he said put the toy back before I beat your ass put it back Trevor you got a respected man that's willing to whoop your ass with a plastic Space Shuttle that was Toys R Us I still be in custody man well I will say this the good news for Toys R Us is they aren't closing right they're using this bankruptcy to reorganize and start fresh so let me ask you this you are a new parent yourself a 16 month old right how could Toys R Us attract you as a parent into their stores well first of all drive-through window oh oh that's a good idea so you can pick up online orders oh to drop your kids off parking so wait you'd be cool just dropping your kids at Toys R Us no but it'd be nice as the giraffe learned CPR that put me at ease alright wait it sounds like you with free child you okay like what else [Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome to CP time the only show that's for the culture today we look back at legendary black politicians john lewis shirley Chisholm Barack Obama just a few of the icons we won't be talking about today instead we look to those whose achievements are a little less appreciated by history let's start with 2012 Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain Herman Cain was a businessman with a colorful personality and zero knowledge of world affairs and asked me who's the president of you Becky Becky Becky Becky Stan Stan and I said you know I don't know do you know man trying to get elected by speaking gibberish his time in fact if not for Herman Cain black men wouldn't be able to get on TV today wearing a cowboy hat while talking out the side of their face it is pitchfork and torches time in America now let's turn our attention to congressman Robert smalls a civil war hero who escaped slavery by stealing a Confederate ship some say that qualified him is being off the chain moving on let's turn our attention to alan keyes another Republican and legendary politician Keyes ran for national office in 1988 92 96 2000 2004 and 2008 all he do was lose the brother had determination hell I'd be embarrassed if I lost 16 national elections hell I'm embarrassed just walking through jo-ann fabrics I go at night and family no discussion on black politicians would be complete without Marion Barry Barry was elected mayor of Washington DC in 1979 was he a good mayor was he a bad man nobody will ever truly know all we do remember is that the man smoked the crack that's right in 1990 mayor berry was arrested in a sting operation and caught on video smoking crack cocaine he said he'd get drugs off the street word as long as our own damn thought for not asking him how the city forgave him and in 1994 he was reelected with approval ratings as high as he was the country was shocked especially Allen jeez he was all anger he was like what Barry went on to have other scandals but if voters don't have a problem with you smoking crack you basically have full immunity that's why when I started this job I showed up two weeks late got it that Barlow no nobody cares that I walk around the office in a nightgown they admire the handiwork I'm Roy Wood jr. this has been CP time and remember we're for the
