one of the most fascinating things I
read about recently one of most
fascinating places was a place called
Rochester New York where genuinely this
blew my mind where they had a city which
was basically dedicated to
rehabilitating people who had escaped
slavery
alright so black people who'd escaped
the south garland to the north were
rehabilitated at this place
Frederick Douglass wrote many of his
works there the suffragette movement
kicked off there it's a powerful powerful
little place and like I was reading
these stories and what they would do is
slaves would escape from the south
they'd make their way to the north they
would get to Rochester the Underground
Railroad would get them there and then
they would rehabilitate it and put them
on boats and send them to Canada so that
they could live free and I was like
that's like it's a fascinating story for
two reasons one to remind you that there
were a lot of good people white people
out there cuz a lot of time I get angry
at white people and I'm like no no
there's good ones calm down and the
second part of it that was amazing was
that they convinced black people to get
back on boats I think that's one of the
most amazing stories I've ever read
because like do you know how convincing
you'd have to be to convince someone
who's just like they've just escaped
slavery think about that for a second
somebody's just escaped slavery they've
made their way they're finally alright
they wake up after one nights of free
sleep and they walk out it's just like
hey man I just want to say thank you so
much for everything you did for me man
well you know what my friend nobody
deserves to live the way you lived I'm
I'm glad we got you out thank you so
much I appreciate you brother thank you
my friend
okay all we got to do now is get you
some paperwork get you cleaned up and
put you on a boat get you to Canada and
you can live a free life and
everything's gonna be better I'm sorry
hold up hold up
yeah go yeah we could you come again you
what do you say I know the paperwork
thing is weird but we got to get you
some some some identification and nah
nah nah you said some about a boat yeah
we're gonna get you on a boat so you can
get to Canada it yeah yeah now I don't I
don't yeah we don't do boats no more I
only I don't know if you know our
history but me and my people we took a
cruise one time that shit didn't go so
well
so yeah we we got to find another way to
get to Canada if you don't mind
Yeah but the boat is the best way for us to get
there from Rochester yeah there might be
the best way for y'all but we're gonna
walk hell we can run we can run real
good we can run but we ain't getting on
no boat my friend you gotta get on the
boat man I ain't gotta do shit
I just got free imagine if I get on that
boat on the other side I'm in the same
place what they gonna say to me why'd
you get on that boat cuz he was real
nice oh hell no I get no no boat well me
you gotta you gotta get on the boat
though you you've got to get you're free
now you gotta go you gotta get over this
look man maybe one day in a few hundred
years one of my descendants named Kanye
West will be over this shit but I ain't
over it right now so I ain't gettin on
no boat you've got we gotta catch you on
the boat damn it I'm not getting on no
boat and that was the day the phrase
nigga please was invented
and white man eternity like nigger
please I need you on that boat and that
story was passed down generation to
generation black person's a black person
free man to free man and that white
man got down on his knees and he said
nigga please
nigga please nigga please I ain't never
heard that phrase before in my life
nigga please nigga please nigga please
I know I know that's probably a phrase
Barack Obama used at least once in the
white house at least once
like Mr. President do you think Trump is
is because if you do you think you
caused this nigga please just one time
one time I know he used it actually I
have a pleasure of meeting President
Obama while he was still in office
probably all the craziest experiences
I've ever had in my life yeah I was came
out of nowhere came out of nowhere I was
at the Daily Show's in my office and I
got a phone call from the administration
and someone on the other end was like hi
Trevor would you like to interview the
President of the United States in the
White House and I was like do you ask
stupid questions like of course I want
to meet the President of the United
States are you serious and the day
finally came went to DC with my TV crew
and they set us up in a room which is
literally opposite the Oval Office I put
all our cameras in place all we doing
now is waiting for the president to
arrive so we're staring at the door with
bated breath and the reason we're
staring is because they don't give you
an exact time of the president's arrival
for his safety all right so they just
give you a window like The Cable Guy
so we're all waiting there listening to
every footstep every moment and then he
just popped in behind us scared the shit
out of everybody yeah because there's a
secret door but they don't tell you
again for safety right so we're staring
at that door and all of a sudden was
like hello I was like ahhh but I had a
great time in the interview with him he
was really really kind to everyone in
the room and and then we turned off the
cameras and I promise you he became even
nicer we just had a conversation I
thought was gonna leave I'm he's
President of the United States you gotta
go do something and he just chilled for
a bit you know and we spoke as human
beings and it went really well until he
turned to me and he said Trevor you know
I actually I got a I got a show and I'm
doing in a few weeks a little little
thing that I thought maybe you want to
pop by and perform if you don't mind see
Mr. President I would be honored you
just let me know when and where what's
the show gonna be for sir he said oh
well Trevor I'm doing a little thing for
my aides and I thought maybe you'd want
to be there I said I would love to you
thank thank you I'm sorry I show for
what
I said for my aides Trevor said ah you
have AIDS
and then and then he explained what he
meant and I wanted the earth to swallow
me whole because I had just looked at
the President of the United States and
asked him if he had AIDS and you know
what the worst thing is is that he was
nice to me as well cuz I said that and
then he explained and then I was like
I'm so sorry Mr. President I didn't mean I
don't even know why I thought it's just
like you said aids and like the AIDS
you know because here's the thing in my
defense in my defense right I get it now
it means aids as in the White House
aides the people who help the President
I get it now but in my defense where I'm
from aids and some other shit that
doesn't help anybody no one in Africa is
walking around let me introduce you to
my aids huh
so now yeah I'm frazzled I'm like Mr.
President I'm so sorry I didn't mean that
you don’t have you you don't have AIDS
you definitely and even if you did
have AIDS is nothing wrong with having
AIDS it's no stigma because it'll be
cool actually I don't even know I'm
sorry
he's like Trevor Trevor calm down Trevor
Trevor Trevor calm down I was like I'm
sorry Mr. President I was like I shouldn't
