Comedy Central’s Trevor Noah gave an impassioned speech on Thursday night’s episode of “The Daily Show” in the wake of the police-involved killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

In the seven-minute monologue, the South African comedian opined that it often seems that you can’t speak about an issue without being forced onto a particular side.

“It always feels like, in America, if you take a stand for something, you automatically are against something else,” Noah said, going on to detail how people choose between dogs or cats, the Yankees or the Red Sox.

“You can be pro-cop and pro-black,” Noah said. “It’s what we should all be. It’s what we should be aiming for. You shouldn’t have to choose between the police and the citizens they are sworn to protect.”
