Syrian refugees including alabama and georgia. On the bright side for Syrian Refugees they wont be subjected to alabama or georgia. laughter sorry. U. S. College campuses are hit with a rash of racially charged student protests. The good news is thats a lot better than the rash that usually hits college campuses. laughter keep it at 100. And we ask the question, are some campus protests more meaningful than others . Im talking to you mario kart lives matter. This is the nightly show, lets do it. Captioning sponsored by Comedy Central cheers and applause larry welcome to the nightly show. Im larry wilmore. Oh, thank you so much. Larry Larry Larry Larry we have such a great show tonight. Oh, no, i know, i appreciate it. By the way, every member of our studio audience tonight is a member of the black Student Union at n. Y. U. I just wanted to point that out. cheers every single one of them. Everybody. And there will be a quiz after the show. laughter rap erp j jadakiss is joining un panel tonight. Were all still reeling from the situation in paris, and last we heard, there may be a connection to the syrian refugee crisis. A passport was found near the body of one suicide bomber. One of these attackers had a syrian passport. A syrian passport, possibly a fake was found near the body of one of the attackers. Larry so a maybe fake syrian passport was found, and its possible one of the nine attackers used the chaotic migration process to make his way to paris. Okay. Now, theres a medical term for how the u. S. Has responded to this news. Let me just check the dictionary. Ill tell you right here. Its right here. Syrian refugee oh, here it is. bleep . At least 30 governors now say they oppose plans to bring Syrian Refugees into their states over security concerns. Larry okay, i know this sounds bad, but, dont worry, syrian, refugees, colorado is still welcoming you. Which means applause yeah, man. Thats true applause which means, hey, you can ease the tension of america assuming youre terrorists by spark a humungous monster joint. Know what im saying . applause oh, and speak of humongous monsters, president ial candidate Chris Christie what . Weighed in audience oh larry whoa. Sorry. Stop it top istop it. That was unintentional. Weighed in on which refugees are welcome in his state of new jersey. What if they were orphans under the age of 5 . You know, we can come up with 18 different scenarios. The fact is we need for appropriate vetting, and i dont think orphans under 5 are being should be admitted into the United States at this point. Larry wow Chris Christie coming out hard against refugee orphans under 5 coming up on the hard, man to be fair, look, the man is running for president , and turnout for refugee orphans under 5 at the New Hampshire primary is at record lows. laughter okay . Come on, refugee orphans under five rock the vote whats up with that . Man applause but, ill tell you christie wasnt the only president ial contender playing the not in my backyard card. Bringing people into this country from that area of the world i think is a huge mistake. To bring them here under these circumstances is a suspension of intellect. laughter larry why is he pointing to his head . This is my brain. You know, ben carson, i have to say this is actually one issue i trust you on the suspension of intellect. laughter im with you on that one, okay. applause me, with, you. All right, but enough about intellect. Lets hear what Mike Huckabee had to say. You can imagine bringing a bunch of Syrian Refugees who have lived in the desert their whole lives that are suddenly thrown into an englishspeaking community where its main in minnesota, where its 20 degrees below zero . I mean, i just dont understand what we possibly could be thinking. laughter larry are you kidding me, Mike Huckabee . You think these desert savages cant possibly understand the concept of coats . laughter applause i cant oh i dont understand that. Yeah,in i saw my loved ones dies and then risked my life on an overcrowded rasc where i was forced to drink my own piss, but st. Paul is a little nippy. Im going back. Also, damascus today was 60 degrees. Its not tattooine a star wars reference. The candidate formerly known as jeb exclamation point also weighed in. I think we should have we should focus our efforts as it relates to the refugee for the christians being slaughtered . How does the United States, how do screeners tell which refugees are christians and which ones are not . Well, we do that all the time. laughter larry we do that all the time . Hey, man, where are you going . I dont know, i was going to go home and screen some christians. Probably screen a few more christians a little later. What are you and your lady doing . Were just going to netflix and screen christians because we do that all the time oh, and fun fact its best part about all the governors posturing about who hates refugees more none of it matters. The president and c. E. O. Of the u. S. Committee for refugees and immigration said under the refugee acts of 1980, governors cannot legally block refugees from settling in their communities. Larry oh, okay. So. cheers and applause i get it this is all just old men making empty threats. Its like that time Clint Eastwood ideal at that chair with thousands of peoples lives at stake. Speak from the g20 in turkey yesterday, president obama struck a strong tone on the crisis. Folks want to pop off and have opinions about what they think they would do, present a specific plan. Larry folks want to pop off. Oh, man. Let me tell you, the only one that could have gotten blacker is if obama said bleep . Instead of folks, right . Hey bleep want to pop off . They can come see me. All right . You want to pop off . You want to pop off . cheers and applause pop off all right, mr. President , tell us what you really think. When i hear folks say that, well, maybe we should just admit the christians but not the muslims we dont have religious tests to our compassionion. Larry wrong, mr. President. Dont you know, we screen christians all the time. I just screened three christians while you were popping off about how we dont screen christians. By the way, if anybody has the authority to speak about not screening for christians its the guy who has been accused of being a secret muslim for his entire presidency, right . Look, general popoff look, general popoff is right. laughter were supposed to be better than this. Thats the whole point of this country. But weve been here before. In 1939, 61 of americans polled did not approve of resettling jewish refugee children trying to escape the third reich. The government even went so far as to turn away a boat filled with german refugees. The ms st. Louis, sending it back to europe where a lot of its passengers were killed in the holocaust. Not our proudest moment. Look, we can help these refugees and be faith as well. Besides, its the christian thing. We do it all the time.

A week since the president of Missouri University resigned amidst student protests to fight Racial Discrimination and swastikas made of human fees ease. Since then the hash tack i stand with mizzou has gone firing. Complaints of racial insensitivity at Claremont Mckenna college. Vanderbilt students call for the dismissal of a professor over incidents of perceived racism. At yale, the free speech debate rages. University of southern california. Ithaca. Amherst. Michigan. University of minnesota. Niagara university. Larry woo, its even reached niagra universities . The harvard of colleges named after waterfalls. Man, this protest movement is spreading so fast you would think it was sleeping with charlie sheen. What . What . Too soon . Like i gave it to him. laughter okay, so what are they protesting . A costume traefers can the can mack college has led to thes areination of the dean of students. One of the students posting with a costume of mariachi has resigned from her position as student body president. Two student went on a Hunger Strike. Racist Halloween Costume . I dont know if it rises to Hunger Strike level. If they go on a Hunger Strike, that means their uneaten candy might go to waste unless they mail their almond joy to a certain latenight host who loves the coconutty goodness of those treat. Mail them to don lemon. Candy aside, it does seem like an overreaction to Hunger Strike over halloween controversies, especially in light of the greater problems mizzou students and teaches face. Halloween controversy managed to stir up trouble even in the ivy league. Similar concerns were on display at yale, especially after a professor condemned a deans warning against offensive Halloween Costumes. She complained that colleges are becoming, places of censure. Larry let me get this straight. Yale students are protesting a professor who sent an email protesting the universitys protest against offensive Halloween Costume . Thats like the College Activism version of a snake eeght itself. laughter unless, of course, the snake cant eat itself because its on a fake halloween Hunger Strike. All right, you know, what .

Our very own nightly show contributor, grace parra. His Hunger Strike led to the resignation of the university of missouri president , mizzou graduate student and activist, jonathan butler. And his new album top 5 dead or alive comes out this friday, rapper jadakiss. And for everyone at home, join our conversation right now on twitter nightly show using the hashtag tonightly. There are a number of College Protests going on and it started at your university, the viralness of it. And its spread all over the place. What the hell is going on at colleges . Whats happening . You know, i thought the college kids were all impregnating each other. I think there was actually a grand tradition of College Students being young and being irm passiond and having feelings and getting them out there and doing things about it. I think college is a time to protest if you have something to be impassioned about. Now i wake up and 15 minutes later im exhausted. Larry jonathan, the thing at missouri seemed to start a long time another is that right . This is nothing new. What was going on at the university of missouri. We didnt have black students or students of color until 1950 gli dont remember that. Youre looking at me like i remember 1950. laughter right so, so 1950 was the first black student. Thats why there was the hashtag 1950. Thats where the students came from, concerned students 1, 9, 5, 0. Thats a group im part of that did the homecoming demonstration. Larry does it seem like this problem is nationwide or there are a lot of different colleges with different problems going on . I think protests have probably been going on wit since beginning of time, but now with the social media and so many different platforms for the kids to put it out there, its reaching the masses now. Larry do you think social media is making this more of a problem than it is or is it giving us information that we probably couldnt have gotten before on this . I think its a filthy little beast. I love it. I love it and i hate it. For example, the picture that we saw of the girls dressed like mariachis. If youre going to be racists do it right. Those are not mariachi costumes. Theyre party band, party city, bad mustache, bad sombrero. Social media can be bad if it perpetuates those kind of images but good in that people will see people at one university protesting and at another university feel put upon and say those kids are doing it and were going to do it, too. Its a doubleedged sword. It opens up the opportunity for solidarity and the movement spread at a much faster pace. Looking back in the 50s and 60s they didnt have social media yeah, they met in basements. The dirty side of it is, the haha tread, anonymous web sites, and its a double edged sword. Larry whats up with people a lot of these problems seem to spread through social media. Definitely. I think its a little bit of both, also. Because once you put it out there, then you leave the space for hate comments and what have you. Larry right. Its good that you can get it out there, but theres no control on the other stuff that comes. Larry i personally feel all hate should be on snapchat. Because you have it and then its gone. Larry it disappears once its out there. You bleep . Its gone. Like magic. Larry or do it on words with friends. Youre still friends. Hate while playing the game. Dont hate the game. Game the hate. See how i did that . Yes larry come on applause yeah why do you think this is happening right now . We seem to be in a special moment. Do you have a sense of us being in a special moment right now . As you mentioned, 1950 was when black students were first admitted. Racism has been around since there were races. Why is this happening right now . I think there are pieces of value in the movement and the fight towards justice. So looking at what a lot of people deem this, the third wave of the civil rights movement, students have gotten to a point where they understand these institution of learning, were here to learn, to grow, to challenge each others thoughts and have difficult dialogue. And you see a lot of students, especially black students and marginalized students fed up with their circumstances understanding were here to make the world a better place so were going to continue to fight for whats right. applause larry true. All of our audience are students no, theyre not. I know you have a student at clark right now. Is there any difference at historic black colleges as opposed to which what is this called . P. W. I. Larry i love that. Predominantly white institution. I didnt know that. Larry anything going on at what kind of college. So far, so good. Hes doing pretty good. Larry that would be pretty bleep up if that happened there. I dont know what i would do if he experienced that. Hes just partying, though. Thats what youre supposed to be doing in college, getting drunk, making those mistakes, but also standing up for what you believe in. applause do you think its hard for some people to have empathy for protests that maybe they cant relate to . Its always hard for people to emphasize with some College Students because even in the vietnam war, protests werent popular. Right. Larry people viewed students as entitled because theyre in college. Was it hard finding epithee for your cause, do you think . Well, you know, acknowledging that it is a privilege to be in Higher Education and get the education that we do is have. But understanding, you know, it is hard. If youve never walked a day in the life of someone elses shoes, you can never truly understand what its like. Me talking to white people on campus not understanding what its like to be a black man and face the threat of police brutality, death threats, all the things that come with being in this black skin. I think its hard but its not impossible and i think thats the purpose of having these spaces for difficult dialogue. When we talk about racism, sexism, homophobia, whatever. Youre going to make mistakes, right absolutely. Youre going to mess up, youre going to say the wrong thing. But its about the clearing of space and growing together as a community. Larry very nice. Very well said. applause larry do you have any advice for kids out there . We had a question earlier, how can we get more people to be inspired by these kids doing these protests . Do you have any advice out there for people . No. I mean laughter if its your choice, you know, if you were staring at some of the things the protesters are protesting about, you should get involved. I was always one that minded my business. If you dont apply, let it slide. Larry last question, very important, what was the first thing you ate when you got off the Hunger Strike . The question of the hour. Technically, you know, when i went to the hospital after i officially declared it was over, i had an i. V. , and some apple sauce. Delicious what did you have for lunch . Eating healthy. After a couple of days when my body got back to normal, i supported black business in columbia, missouri, miss kims and got myself some soul food. Larry keeping it 100. Well be right back right after this. Refresh things. It doesnt call for a cleaning service. It uses the cold to sift through every single speck. So if you wonder what inspired us to coldfilter our beer. Well. Youre looking at it. Coors light. Born in the rockies. Other wireless carriers make families share data.
