11:14 pm
the black lives matter movement. please welcome dea-- deray mckesson. plawtion plaws-- (applause) 7. >> goods to be here. >> stephen: as i said before, you are one of the leaders of the black lives matter movement. though you have moved on to focus on something called campaign zero right now. >> yes, a conference platform to end police violence. the movement is bigger than any one organization. there are so many people pushing to end police violence and this is one of the central platforms. >> stephen: you helped organize the protest in ferguson and baltimore. were you named for tune magazine's 2015 greatest world leaders list and one of ten people beyonce follows on twitter. that's a lot of pressure. that's a lot of pressure. >> beyonce is great and more woke than people give her credit for. >> stephen: more what? >> woke. >> stephen: what does woke mean, honest to god, evidently i'm not woke. >> you wore the bracelet one day, you were woke that day.
11:15 pm
office asked me if i would wear a black lives matter bracelet. so i put it on. and would you have think i slapped a baby. people got very mad about it. why do you think people get so mad about the idea of black lives matter? >> cuz it's an idea as much as a movement. >> yeah, i think that people are uncomfortable talking about the racist history of this country and what we need to do to undo the impact of racism. and people are just like to act like we don't have a legacy of racism here. so i think people get really uncomfortable with it. but we know that we can't change it unless we address it, right. >> stephen: well, some people both republicans and democrats-- (applause) some republican candidates and martin o'malley at first also said all lives matter, in response. >> yeah. >> stephen: what is your reaction to that reaction. >> you know, it's such a distraction. we know if all lives matter were true we wouldn't have to be be out in the street. the police have killed 26 people just in 2016. so we have so much work to do. and that is just the way to
11:16 pm
police brutality by getting people to talk about this notion of all lives matter. it's just not true. >> stephen: when you say police brutality, some people's reaction would be this isn't all policeman. you were talking about bad apples, or are you saying that there is a systemic history of violence against the african-american community or poor communities in general, that doesn't on vee eight the fact that it is only a view people doing this. >> it's not just bad apples trk is like a bad batch, right. what we have seen is that across the country these issues around police violence in communities of color are popping up. >> stephen: sometimes it's african-american officers involved with these. does that change your feeling at all. >> no, because there is the blue coat of silence. when they become police officer there is something about the culture itself that is dangerous in communities across the country. we see it tamara rice-- tamir rice, mike brown, across the country it is so similar, it is not these isolated events t is a
11:17 pm
>> stephen: will you admit that being a police man is a dangerous occupation, that if there is a tragedy perpetrated by police, it is in anyway obviated by the fact they put their livers on the line for the rest of are with us thrns are many dangerous jobs in the country. police have the power to kill people. that means they have a different responsibility and account ability that is not present. they kill people and they aren't accountable for that. we haven't seen many indictments or convictions across the country and that is not okay. >> stephen: this is a day that we celebrate martin luther king, the greatest hero-of-the civil rights movement, my lifetime. how do you think the civil rights movement as it exists today is different than it was in his time? because it's often looked at as a golden age it was taken from its world still as a young man and is now sort of a person in amber, like it's unchangeable figure.
11:18 pm
what king did is unquestionable for that reason. does the civil rights movement have to change now? >> i think today's interesting because people misremember king today. they remember the safe king, not the radical revolutionary king. >> stephen: what is the radical revolutionary king. >> he talked about redistribution of wealth and economic justice. he was much more aggressive than the dream that people remember. when you think about, you know, what is different about the civil rights movement now is really about technology, right. the issues that are the same. and we didn't invent resistance. we didn't discover injustice. the technology has allowed us to amplify these messages in ways we couldn't before and acceleratedded pace of really powerful. zero. >> so campaign zero is a platform toand police violence. we cover things like police union contracts, use of force, bobby cameras. and it is we used with hillary, bernie, loretta lynch. >> stephen: were you at the debate. >> i was in charleston. >> stephen: how did you feel st went?
11:19 pm
up there addressed any of the issues that you were hoping for? probably the best question about race that we have had at the debate so far, we have an acknowledgment of the issues at systemic issues. now we have to figure out what they plan to do. we heard hillary acknowledge white prif lige which she has never done before. bernie continued to talk about systemic injustice. and o'malley, you know, still got some work to do. >> stephen: now i might be, you can tell me, i might be the whitest person you've ever met. henry louis gaits the head of african-american studies at harvard after he took my dna. he had my dna sequenced and he said are you white, baby, you are the whitest man i've ever met. so i might have the most privilege of any white person you have ever met. how do i identify that in my own life? because if i have a white privilege i want to be able to identify it. give me some hints as to my white privilege. >> you have a show, you have a lot of money. >> stephen: that's true.
11:20 pm
>> stephen: yeah. >> that is true. have i a show, i have a lot of money. >> you do. >> stephen: the fact that i'm sitting here and are you sitting there is part of that white privilege. >> it's about role and about access. and what you can do is extend that privilege so you can dismantle it, right. you can create opportunity for peevment you can amplify issues in ways other people can't. and you can use your resources to create space for people. (applause) (cheers and applause). >> stephen: so deray, anything you would like to ask me about being white. >> yeah, i would love to know what you plan to do now that you understand your whiteness a little better to dismant tell. >> stephen: what am i going to do to dismantle white privilege. >> now what that you understand it, what are you going to do-- . >> stephen: i don't know if i do understand it i can dismantle drk dsh acknowledge it. >> let's dialogue. let's think about it. >> you have a lot of money, you
11:21 pm
>> stephen: you can't have my money. (laughter) >> what you can do. >> stephen: and you can't have my show. >> why do you think people are uncomfortable talking about race, why are white people uncomfortable talking about race. >> stephen: i can't speak for other white people. okay, i feel-- i feel guilty for anyone who does not have the things i have. and that includes, you know, black people or anyone because i am so blessed that i think there is always the fear it will be taken from you. >> and what can you do to manage that guilt? like what have you fowrchedz-- . >> stephen: i drink a fair amount. >> i drink-- (laughter) >> you're great. >> stephen: i mean-- i don't know, i'm shooting from the hip here, shooting from the hip here. hi you on the show, does that help at all. >> baby steps, you got to start somewhere. got to create space for the conversation. we can't address what we don't talk about. >> stephen: i was at the march on washington, does that help? >> you were at the march on washington. >> stephen: i was, my mom was there and she was pregnant with me. >> nice. i love it.
11:22 pm
>> stephen: baby steps. >> literal, literal baby steps. >> that was good. that was good. >> stephen: deray mckesson, everybody. we'll be right back.

11:31 pm
i am proud to announce that we have three brand new additions to the colbert nation. first when we were in produce production on the late show we were also in reproduction. cuz samuel buckly born to michael buckly and my multitalented producer nicole sevini. i have to say samuel is the greatest thing nicole has ever produced. daniel craig was able to do the whole scene while holding his head upright, get to work. >> and a few weeks ago we were joined by decker charles mathison, son of rebecca and andrew mathison, seen here planning a jewelry heist, evidently.

"mom, can i go sit on santa's lap?" applause ) what really bothers me about this is he's taking a role away from a big guy, do you know what i mean? and there are only so many roles a big guy can play. you have santa claus, mall cops, and anne hathaway's effeminate "he said whaaat? ( ) i'm perfect casting for it.
11:37 pm

11:43 pm
news this morning. i love doing this show every day and to be acknowledged like this is truly lovely. for us, the whole team, it means a huge amount. now i should stay truth is i probably wouldn't be doing this show if it wasn't for one incredible woman. a couple of years ago i was doing a play on broadway and the president of entertainment at cbs, nina tassler, came with les moonves to see that play. after that night, they wanted me to do a show for the network, and at first i wasn't sure if i wanted to move to america. i have a young family. it was such a big move for all of us. but then i sat with nina and i was immediately struck by her passion, her vision, her creative energy. and honestly, i couldn't remember meeting a television
11:44 pm
inspiring. this is nina's last week as president as she hands over the reins to a brilliant man called glenn geller, but i wanted to take a moment to thank her and tell her we will miss her. she has done so much for us and this show. she allowed us to have the voice we wanted to have and has supported us every step of the way. the truth is, if you like this show and enjoy joining us every night, then so much of the credit for that lies with nina. we cannot wait to see what you do next, nina. you are a truly brilliant woman and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us. we really do. speaking of taking a break, one direction started their much publicized hiatus today. they are now officially on a break which means -- no, it is good news for us. it means they
