Thoughtful Analysis on the Current Unrest: The Social Contract is Broken

In the 18 minute video shown below, Trevor Noah explains how the racial situation between the police and blacks in America can be seen. In essence, Noah argues that the contract that black Americans live by is being violated each time the police abuse their power. His arguments may or may not be persuasive to everyone, but at least the facts and logic he relies on is clear. And, it helps personal understanding to see complicated issues from multiple points of view. This is an interesting point of view.

TrevNo starts his comments by raising the encounter between Amy Cooper, a white woman, in a city park with her unleashed dog. Christian Cooper, a black man, asked her to leash her dog. That was the rule in the park. Amy called the cops and falsely told them there was a black man threatening her and her dog. Later, she apologized. She lost both her dog and her job over the incident. The incident is shown on this 1 minute 40 second cell phone video. Noah discusses the relevance of this incident at the beginning of his video segment.
