New Daily Show Host Labled Racist, Anti-Semite Over Twitter Jokes
You'd think people could turn their outrage onto the people who are really screwing them, but it never seems to work that way.
So the Twitters are in full outrage mode this morning over some old tweets by Trevor Noah, the new Daily Show host.
Almost bumped a Jewish kid crossing the road. He didn't look b4 crossing but I still would hav felt so bad in my german car!

Uh-oh, the Internet wants to make itself feel powerful again by ruining someone's career over thought crime. Must be Tuesday.

It really amazes me that in 24 hours people were able to look through 8900 tweets by #TrevorNoah to find 2 or 3 that are mildly offensive.

#TrevorNoah is a comedian. Comedians make offensive jokes. What, you expect them to make knock knock jokes? Get over yourselves #DailyShow
