Noah to Howard Schultz’s Response on Addressing Racism: It’s Always White People Who Say ‘I Don’t See Color’

‘You have to see it, especially if you want to be president’

EXCERPT:

[clip starts]
SCHULTZ: "As somebody who grew up in a very diverse background as a young boy in the projects, I didn’t see color as a young boy. And I honestly don’t see color now."
[clip ends]
NOAH: "Oh! This works out great because I don’t hear bullsh*t. Yeah. ( Laughter ) ( Applause ) Get the (bleep) out of here, man! Like, I’m— I’m sorry, but you have to see color. There’s nothing wrong with seeing color. You just shouldn’t treat people differently because of their color. But you have to see it, especially if you want to be president. It would be like, 'Okay, how are you going to solve black unemployment?' This guy would be like, 'What’s black unemployment? All I see is staggering unemployment among people named Jamal. Anyway, it’s February, so happy History Month.' You know what’s interesting? You know what’s interesting to me? It’s always white people who say they don’t see color. I've never heard a black person like, 'Yo, did y’all know Ed Sheeran is white? I had no clue! Yo, that's probably why he's so uncomfortable when I yell the 'N' word at him! Damn!'"
