What I came to realize in life is that people don’t really like you, they like your talent/skills. take your time to be skilled in something and people will hunt down your skills. this applies mostly to all people based on statistics. if you are white and you ain’t skilled, you will be fired. as simple as that. businesses want to make money. so if you are black and you have what it takes, businesses will hunt you down since they will realize that they need your skills. I have learned that from Thomas Sowell and it has freed my mind as a young black man. I am a scientist ( I aspire to be the best one ) and I have started to reap what I sow. stop trying to make people feel sorry for you. work hard, get skills that are needed in the society and the rest will take care of itself. Also, you gotta hold yourself on high standards as a human being and you will be a blessing to the community. have a wonderful day y’all. love one another. we are the same race ( human race ) with simply different skin colors. just like FLOWERS of different colors. we need to change our mindset and things will be better for sure.

Now allow me to express a different perspective as a black man living in the states. I took some time to educate myself on the issue of racism and slavery. I would advise all people to sit down and learn facts about the issue. don’t be driven by emotions but by facts rather. Please read the following book and you will thank me later. \n“ Race and culture” by Thomas Sowell.

A compelling documentary, thank you. Why is it that black people continue to be so demonised and de-humanised? It is such a shame that follow Asians and even American Natives play such a role in perpetuating racism against African descent people, but I guess they have their issues of identity. Real shame nonetheless, but one thing at the time, we still have a bigger hurdle to overcome.\n \nOf course, it is still not easy to be a black woman, man or child today. Sadly our mothers are still crying for their children being killed or overly punished by the police institution, our kids are still targeted if not simply despised for being beautiful, bright, talented, lively and brilliant beings with deeper skin tonalities, and hair that speaks for us otherwise. It is still dangerous because there is so much hatred across the world against us as we are coming to understand. And hatred is unpredictable. It comes in different ugly shapes. \n\nAfrican descent people are institutionally exposed to a lack of opportunities based on race, leading to the disproportionate poverty levels in our communities, and poverty brings your far closer to crime. That should not be so difficult to calculate. We're faced with higher mortality and disease rates, covid 19 has rubbed that to our eyes, care systems medical world is in less favour and neglect black communities. On a day-to-day, I am so insulted about the security guard that follows me in the shop, it is so disrespectful and embarrassing, that makes me move suspiciously indeed, yet so low and ignorant I don't even want to have to confront the issue. \n\nI agree with the writer who writes about his experience (and shame?) of being a black man in Canada- the same is institutionally reflected in Europe and across the world let's not be naive, we're not welcome but they should know they have no choice. I believe what he really is trying to express is based on the fear of being a black man in a hostile environment, but we should certainly have nothing to be ashamed of. \n\nOn contrary, we should be very proud because we are still here, like any other citizens paying our taxes and playing positive roles in society by major. We have positive role models are everywhere, from the single mother raising her children with force and determination to the black father who teaches at a local school, from the black girl who's achieved top grades to university to the black young man who's been headhunted from the medical school. And all of us who are just trying. \n\nLook closely. While the media will continue to do its good job demonising and stereotyping us negatively, let's not forget that we are real people with real accomplishments who have always made impactful contributions to society. \n\nHere's the thing, we are admired, loved and celebrated because of the brilliance, talent, charisma, swag and wealth we bring to contemporary culture. Everyone consumes black culture, from the filler lip service to the quick fix tan, from rock and roll to hip hop and RnB music, to sports athletes to the amazing creators out there, no need to mention names. But, we also are doctors, politicians, judges nurses, waiters, carers, scientists, builders, bankers, entrepreneurs, employees or unemployed. \n\nSadly on a day-to-day, we are not viewed as equal people, with equal rights and needs, who, by large, just want the good for our children, our families, neighbours and indeed countries. STOP INSTITUTIONAL RACISM. We are real mothers, real fathers, real children who have a birthright to equal treatment, respect and human dignity, whether or not you choose to disagree.

Canada has racist issues but I assure you all the United States is way worse. I live here I know. Any country in the world that has a large majority population of white are going to be on guard with black or any dark skin people. We are seen as a threat to their comfort and superiority. Black people have to get away from these white countries and go somewhere we are welcome. It won’t stop!!!!

INTERESTING, BUT I FEEL NO SYMPATHY FOR ORIENTALS. I HAVE HAD TONS OF RACIAL SLURS THROWN AT ME, AS A WOMAN BY THE RACIST, EVIL ORIENTALS INCLUDING THE RACIST FILIPINO. THEY LIKE WHITE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE WHTE, BUT TRUTH IS THEYDO NOT RESEMBLE WHITE, ALL ORIENTALS ARE DESCENDANTS OF AND RESEMBLE ESKIMOS NOT WHITE PEOPLE, THAT THEY WORSHIP. I STAY FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THE RACIST ORIENTAL, TO AVOID IT THROWING RACIAL SLURS AT ME, DELIBERATELY SPITTING AT ME OR PHYSICALLY TARGETING ME AS IT HAS DONE IN THE PAST, LIKE TRYING TO PUSH ME DOWN THE STAIRS. KARMA IS FINALLY COMING BACK AROUND ON ALL THE COUNTLESS RACIST ORIENTALS AROUND THE WORLD, AMEN. GOD THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS.. THE QUIET, RACIST ORIENTAL IN SHEEPS CLOTHING CAN'T FOOL OR LIE TO GOD. I WATCH THIS VIDEO AND CELEBRATE IN YOUR MISERY, BECAUSE IT IS NICE TO SEE ANOTHER RACIST ORIENTAL ON THE RECEIVING END OF RACIAL SLURS THAT IT REPEATEDLY HURLS AT ME, A BLACK WOMAN.. YES, GOD IS GOOD, FINALLY JUSTICE.

If white people are racist\nWhy dont black people be racist too\nIts a 50/50 and then they will be a revolution and many people die

Pfff black people talk about racism

Keep telling people it is not only blacks but whutes being mean

You can also see that she's racist to black people

Y'all we are in 2021, are we really gonna be rasist in front of Asians. black people are already suffering and know this?!

When we as black people can heal and learn to coexist and value each other the way other races value their own this won't matter as much. As a black man I am targeted by EVERYBODY black, white all other races even black women and I'm sure black women feel the same. I encourage anyone reading this to read the Willie Lynch letter and pray that we can begin to heal as a people. Violence in black communities seem to be at All time highs. We have truly been divided and conquered systematically. Lets pledge to treat each other better so that we are stronger together

What about all of the indigenous people of Canada that are ostracized from systematic racism? Black folks having more of a voice in Canada because the racism is underlying. In America, it's in your face

Hello. First time here watching your videos ?.. why all this white foreigner and black American hitting asian and say bad words that to asian people and she was filipina woman from Manila Philippines ?? we respect all kind of foreigners lives in our country.... foreigners needs to respect us too. Asian Many Asian county all over the world.. you don't know who you hitting with. Like philippines country.?? Stop hate asian. God created us all. God is watching us.. God is coming down to earth again for jugmentday revelation.. Let's spread love and peace ? I'm asian woman too. Watching from Manila Philippines ??

Why, oh why, do so many Asians worship the west. They must be learning now how hated they are by many people living in western countries, white and black people.

This is what is happening in America, and of course it isn't being address properly because whites are the perpetrators. So now they're blaming black people. That's the narrative that is being pushed right now in the united states, when everybody knows its trump with his king flu rhetoric that is emboldening white supremacist to commit hate crimes against asian people...

dont you dare try it on us filipino..you can have a black eye ..we still respct people but dont dare to push us..racist people..im asian and we are proud that we are good human being..

People are beginning to see what black people have been enduring for centuries!

Black men go through this everytime you go into a store. I know people who have anxiety about going into stores because of the stress of being followed

Don't feel sorry for we asian people. We do not feel getting hurt for these dirty racist words, we just feel a little bothered like when you walking on street and a dog bark at you. Feeling hurt is just emotion of a weak, we Asian will not response to racist as the way black people doing ( Claiming and crying). We Asian will response to racist by making our countries stronger, richer and more civilized . Asian people have ever been lead the world, and nowaday we are coming back to lead the world in economy, education, scientist...

Asians???? Whites, blacks , Mexicans. Did wayyyyy worse in American history... adults do the dumbest stuff I swear. Maturity does not come with age. Mental illness is real. Depression is real. As human beings we need to love and help one another. Not hate each other. Mind body spirit. People of 2021 let’s be humble and not grumble. Praise love and humanity, let’s lock up all the evil people

ITS SAD THIS IS HAPPENING. I THOUGHT NBC WAS ACCUSING ONLY BLACK PEOPLE OF HATE CRIMES AGAINST ASIANS, GET REAL.

I wish yall would try with racism on Homeless people. Im Homeless, and yet i get messed with. My friend is Black im White, him and i went to an apt. Rental place a year ago were both on disability. We said we were looking for a two bedroom. They told us we dont help people on disability look for an apt. They said we couldnt afford it anyway. Plus transunion eqafax, experian, ruined my life . I was working sense i was 15 years old i had Emaculate credit, they destroyed it. Your Bank was your credit now theirs these three nightmare companies, that keep doing it. I also paid people to fix it but it happened again and again. Now i cant get an apt or car those companies that help you with credit that isnt even yours because my idendtity was stolen. Those companies work with transunion, equafax, experian. It makes me sick !!

In south africa the government is stealing farms owned by white people and giving the land to black people, and employers are required by law to employ 90% black people so now white people can’t get jobs.

This is really ridiculous that the Premier of Quebec and Ontario are pretending that this is not happening? Not just towards black comunity, is against brown people, against latinos, and the special of all indigenous and of course against against lgbtq and against anyone that is not white... and this is in a very covert way they will ask people of your minority comunity to harass you and discriminate on you so the white lords are not going to be blamed of discrimination and harassment... but behind of all this is always a white person either a man or a woman pretending that they don’t know but they are actively engaging in constantly attacking and diminishing minorities

Racism exists both ways in Canada. Black people are racists too.

People dish out negativity because one their in pain themselves or 2 their ignorant...and the simple fact that people call themselves white and or black( two polar opposite words) is false and needs to be changed...

Before black people in Canada complain talk about the residential schools That is equivalent to the slavery that happened in the US. Stop holding on to somebody else is coatatiks for god sake it’s not about you not in Canada at least

I’m tired of Canada making it about black people. The racism that occurs in the US has nothing does not ever compare to Canada. The racism in Canada is against the indigenous and do not forget that fight. Stop shoving your ass on the backs of the indigenous it is not the same

I’m sorry but the people that we need to fight for in Canada is the indigenous First and foremost. I am an immigrant myself and to me blacks and immigrants Do not compare to the indigenous not at all. In the US definitely but not in Canada

If you don’t think racism exists in Canada, just do some research about the indigenous women in prison. Do some research about the indigenous and black peoples who go missing and aren’t given a second thought. Canada is just better at hiding it. Google is free.

Hey i wanna do this in dallas! People think that black folks here are NOT oppressed. I was adopted by a black family in the 80s amd my parents have been discriminated against so many times its pathetic. My mom even got detained once because a white woman called the police saying she was kidnapping a white baby. They didnt even bother to ask if i knew her b4 they snatched me from her and called the police. THEY were the kidnappers- not my beautiful black mother! And you know what? They didnt even charge that woman for snatching me from my mama. They told her good job ??

The only racism in Canada is none the only race is bigots are the mainstream media against black and white people shame on you CBC

like how ignorant people label other people as illegal, lol there's no just thing as illegal, just immigrants. Stop labeling people and stop thinking the it's al white and black like saying you should come here legally wen the rules are against you from the beginning.

I'm not watching all this but I don't see black owned businesses... I have lived around, and been around a lot of black people it's not right but it also happens the other way around a whole lot too. It's a humanity problem.

I'm a Asian and I always face the racism. At first few times I tried to understand those people and the time gose by. It gets worse and now I don't let those people do that to me. Last time I got discriminated by the U.S.A border protection roll player job. Because of skin color they picked me out from the job. Rest of them are white and no black Latinos nor Asians beside me. I'm sure God will judge them for what they do to others like me.

17:00 Something Trump would say about Africans and black people.

dam even black people go where its cold dam.

maybe it is because black people shop lift? not all but one rotten apple spoils the lot. I'm not say that whites don't shop lift yeah they do maybe they don't get caught at it.

But Indian people are the most Racist people towards black and some white people. India his a know go country for black people. Google it

I find hilarious the irony of the government and people thinking that putting in place legislation for specific groups of people (Latino, black, Asian , etc.) Is going helping to promote inclusion. Wouldn't it be better to just putting in place laws that apply to every citizen equally, regardless of race and culture? Why do we have to have special treatment just for our ethnicity? That kinda defeats the point of inclusion

A lot of my friends come to me whenever they need some extra cash because i always have something saved up,, my black friends never payed me back,, all my other friends did... so i stopped letting my black friends borrow money... im mexican, my people love getting drunk and typically take their job less seriously than others,, also we tend to be really loud and obnoxious.. ive worked with alot of indian people, and most of them never showered... stereotypes exist for a reason, but until you are proven to fall into these stereotypes you shouldn't be judged by them because there definitely are exceptions.

The reality is that it is much safer to be black. Nobody messes with you when you are black. Everyone kisses your ass when you are black. I am surprised white people don't try to change their skin color to black more often like Racheal Doezal and Martina Big did.

USA is still worse for black people

Want to see discrimination and racism come to Brampton ,where the same people who complains about racism are the same ones posting racist ad. Such as you have to East Indian, you can’t be a smoker, no pets, No blacks, a matter of fact if you’re not Indian I will not rent my property to you... Explain that to me huh ? How can you scream racism when it’s a daily practice here in Brampton mostly by Indians.

Lol the woman is funny tho. India kills black people tho

I remember when they did this on King of the Hill. Peggy strongly preferred the company of black people

what is the problem of white people ? Black or asian people always experience discrimination..what is the problem if black or asian people ? whites think too highly of themselves tsk tsk ??

I tell you one thing they both have in common and that they are both similar of is that they are both racist towards black people and they both have racism Canada and the United States are the exact same

if i was a store owner i wouldn't sell to black people especially now.

Is it only me who hears it\nRegina\nsorry for being childish??\nI take race serious though am east African\nAnd feel so bad when I see how the world treats our distant cousins\nI wish black people would come back and we grow together being treated like any human being should be treated
