[South African] Trevor Noah [current "Daily Show" host] said a phrase in Xhosa he said translates to "In times like this we are stronger when we fight together than when we try to fight apart."....Except thats not what the phrase translates to - not even close. As BBC and multiple South African news outlets were quick to point out, what Noah actually said was: "White people dont know Im lying."

While presenting Best Picture nominee Black Panther, Daily Show host and South Africa native Trevor Noah got a lot of laughs for his Mel Gibson joke: "Mel Gibson came up to me like 'Wakanda forever.' He said another word after that, but the Wakanda part was nice."
All blacks speak Xhosa? I had no idea !
Is that the one with the clicks?
Lieutenant Uhura spoke Swahili.
Trevor's from South Africa. His mother is Xhosa. His father is white German, making him yet another angry bitter half-breed.
Can’t stand this African POS.
Former, and long deceased Academy Awards host Johnny Carson spoke Swahili.
When your cultural history sucks so much, you have to make up a completely fake one.
Why is this talentless hack allowed to work in the US?
The oscars were a joke.
Period.
Which is why most of us didn’t watch.
Snide Little Foreigner should go back to South Africa.
No they don’t, but some whites in RSA can speak it, or at least understand Xhosa, as well as other “TRIBAL” languages; though the “clicks” are difficult to reproduce for those whodidn’t learn to speak with them as children.
Yes, it has some clicks.
I wonder how many Black people watching knew what he said? I suspect not many. When an inside joke is soooo inside, the target audience doesnt understand it.......it falls flat. Go home, Noah. We dont need your race-baiting in this country. We have enough race baiting Blacks as it is.
How can an "inside" joke be "The Best" if the joke is told by a sphincter intending to insult with malice, an ever increasingly shrinking audience?
I doubt that ANY American blacks know/understand ANY of the “TRIBAL” languages spoken in RSA; not to mention the fact that
no Americans, who isn’t a child or grandchild of an Afrikaner, knows/understand Afrikaans!
I didn’t watch the oscars but this morning I read Bradley Cooper and that gaga person did an “amazing” duet. I found it on youtube and thought it was boring. I couldn’t even watch the whole thing and I like Cooper.
“White people dont know Im lying.”
No, Trevor, we take it for granted that you lie.
