It's pretty hackneyed mugging, despite the *humanitarian effort.

Yes, I am not entirely convinced by the term "reverse racism" either, but that's the one he used so I opted to let it stand.

Nonetheless, it's interesting how people can remain stuck on the label and miss the bigger point.
Yes "racism is racism", but that's not what he is talking about. Let's use a simple example: you're a white guy out in the street (of a western country, that is), minding your own business, when suddenly you are insulted by a black guy out of nowhere. He hates white folks. That guy is an evil racist, you got that right. He even snatches your wallet. You've been mugged by a racist. It sucks. It's an event in your life, but tomorrow will be another day.
Now let's compare that to being a black/colored/minority person: The police can stop, frisk, and detain you. Any day. You may be refused service at some restaurant. Any day. You may not be let in a club. Any day. You may not get that job. You may not get that apartment. If where you live really sucks, you may be in for a mugging or lynching on a seasonal basis. It won't happen all the time of course, but it will happen again and again, with a frequency and severity you will never be able to predict, and when it happens you will have no recourse. It's not 'an event', it defines you life. You expect it around every street corner.

So you and I can encounter a racist, but someone from a minority does experience racism (in other words, they've encountered so many racists in their life they've stopped counting: they talk about 'racism', not 'racists'). These are completely different things. There is simply no way you can actually live that level of oppression if you are not part of a minority.

And this is what he meant. He's not saying that there are no non-white racists, or no racists aiming at whites. He is saying there's no way you can experience actual real-scale racism, as it happens in society, if you yourself are part of the ethnic majority. Quite the difference.

TL;DR: racist != racism

I think it was to just condense the video...if you watch the unedited version on the daily show website the first thing is they have it split into two videos. The other edits are basically Jon mugging to the audience or him waiting for the audience to quiet down.

If there is a full unedited version I will switch it.

Pretty cool how this awesome pedal also transforms his geeky mug into true "Guitar Face" once it is activated.... Two independent effects for the price of one!!!!

It's your birthday again. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you're doing well. Stop in and say hello sometime. Be good to see your mug up in here.

Totally thought he was going to run around mugging people with a 2x4.

If you told these people that 100 years later we'd have smart phones in our pockets, but we can't keep high social pathology folks from taking dumps on the street and mugging people in broad daylight, they'd never believe you.

And here's more info on him. It sounds like he's a really bright individual who society completely failed to position for success.

After dropping out of community college, Hahn joined the Navy, assigned to the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise as an undesignated seaman.

Hahn had hoped to pursue a nuclear specialist career. EPA scientists believe that Hahn may have exceeded the lifetime dosage for thorium exposure, but he refused their recommendation that he be examined at the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station.

And then a sad bit:
On August 1, 2007, Hahn was arrested in Clinton Township, Michigan for larceny, in relation to a matter involving several smoke detectors, allegedly removed from the halls of his apartment building. His intention was to obtain americium, a radioactive substance, from the detectors. In his mug shot, his face is covered with sores which investigators claim are possibly from exposure to radioactive materials

Finally: fer christ's sake, son! what the hell happened to you!

Yeah, actually it does. I know a few people that have mugged at knife point and gun point. Everytime they handed over the money and walked away from the experience. In my book that worked out "super well".

The vast majority of time they're not out to kill you. Most of the time they want your money. Is it worth risking your life?

If you're in a situation where they want to kill you, I completely agree that running away is pointless. At that point, you may as well try this kind of move, since you have nothing to lose.

Probably still won't work anyway. Maybe if you practiced it a few thousand times first, but random guy on the street?

@bareboards2, that's obviously a bad situation for the woman, but there are still better ways of dealing with it than trying some ridiculous gun disarm.

I'm always concerned that I'd get shot in a mugging because I never carry enough money to assuage a desperate stick-up thug-That's why I always carry a few rocks of crack in my otherwise empty bi-fold along with some meth in case the rouge be some Oklahoman

HAH! Mine used to be so resty-nicety before life asked more of me than I was willing to suffer all smiley-like!!
Now I understand how my grandmother developed her, wrinkly always-asshole face...

Oh daaag.....I can't help but feel partially responsible for that mug!!

need to change the thumbnail to that mug shot. That's the best part of this video.

dammit! i just had 2 mugs of heavy black java and now i am drunk on pp's. i do not know if i'm coming or going. thank you mystery meatbag! i want to french kiss you tin can.

I dunno man, she makes "stinky-face" too much-and then the nasaliness....Dude-she's gonna be full-bore mugly (mean + ugly) when she loses her edge, MALES BEWARE!
