We looked up the episode guide for Apple TV’s “The Problem with Jon Stewart” to see what was on tap: “No matter how sincerely some white people want to educate themselves and take action against racism, white comfort seems to block progress.” OK. We’ve heard from plenty of people who claim they don’t teach critical race theory in public schools suggest that they really should teach critical race theory in public schools. They seem to think that banning CRT is only to protect white students from discomfort, and that white students should feel discomfort about the systemic racism that permeates every facet of life in America. And who better to do that than your white fourth-grade math teacher?
Jon Stewart seems to be in that latter camp, though he doesn’t mention critical race theory, only white comfort. Christopher Rufo says it best: it looks like a hostage video. We noticed loud applause at “the problem with white people” but not so much when Stewart mentioned reparations. Guess the white people in his audience are the problem.
Jon Stewart is a new convert to the Woke Orthodoxy and is using his new Apple TV+ show to inform white people on how problematic they are in the US. pic.twitter.com/ONEU1mjtTP

Jon Stewart has gone full Ibram X. Kendi. Never go full Kendi.

This feels more like a hostage video than a comedic monologue. pic.twitter.com/PrgLhcTZGm

I thought that, too.

There is a little glimpse of embarrassment and he even stumbles with the delivery because other people are literally putting words in his mouth. Fascinating.

Out: humor, insight, and originality.
In: critical race theory copypasta.
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) March 29, 2022
Oh wow that was objectively awful delivery

He even sounds like a robot.

This is straight up weird.

Not sure what‘s worse. John Stewart spewing this stuff or the people actually cheering it on like a superstar just hit the stage

Didn't he literally change his name so he could benefit from "white comfort"?
— Mrremoraman (@mrremoraman) March 29, 2022
What was that word he used?
Equality? 🤔— Little Larry Sellers (@SellersLittle) March 29, 2022
We noticed he was trying to make a point about equality vs. equity, but we didn’t get it. The writers didn’t really flesh that out.
A room full of probably mostly white people, clapping and cheering when he says the problem with white people.
— Trevor (@hotforliberty) March 29, 2022
By "white people," I'm assuming he means everyone but him?
— A Quinn Martin Production (@BroadRunner1) March 29, 2022
He just did a segment about white people being the problem, so that gives him a pass for the year.
