A Black Man's Take on Crowded Places: New Zealand vs America

[@benicetome5341]

Hey bro! just wanted to comment about the guy in the background staring at the brother. To be honest the guy that was starring probably heard the brothers American accent while he was talking, and when he looked at him he would have just been curious like where is he from because its easy to pick out foreign accents in our country but its different when its an American one because well most of the television and movies we grew up watching were and are from America so it can be like 'wooaah" when we hear American accents, because theres been so much western culture influence in our country and theres so much that fascinates us about America. Also the brother being African American its not everyday we see the brothers walking around NZ especially Christchurch of all places. so in reality it would most likely just have been curiosity over all.

[@horipkaa69]

Keep us informed about your dates and where you plan to travel bro. So mean that you are making it over here. I hope you have some really Peaceful moments here, when you can truly let your guard down a be a powerful human being. I HOPE we live up to your expectations, every country has there ups and downs, I believe NZ is the best place in the world and it sounds like you really need to have the postive experience in your life.

Kiwi here. Dude in the background was just curious. We don't get many black Americans here, and we don't get many people filming themselves. Neither is seen as a bad thing in any kind of way, it's just rare to us so we tend to stop and look because it catches us off guard a little. But what he's talking about, going to outdoor things and everyone just relaxing, that's really normal here. You go to outdoor family events like that, there will be music somewhere, food and so on, and yea everyone just sits on the grass and stuff and chills. Nobody has any dramas.

Awesome to hear you're coming to NZ this year Twano! Been watching you're interest in our nation develop over the last 2-3 years or so. One thing I've got to say, since I'm a Napier boy (in the Hawkes bay) is Art Deco weekend, I know you likely wont be here for it because it's generally February when it's held, but it's honestly one of the greatest events our country does. - check it out of you haven't. But we also do a winter Art deco weekend aswell, (Much smaller scale) but good oppurtinity to dress up and and be apart of the 1920's time period.

Well, I am writing this from Christchurch, New Zealand so I am very happy that the gentleman in this video clip feels safe and at peace here. I'm actually very puzzled why this is such a big deal for him. Is life in America so tense now that people have to act like they are in a warzone even at events like this one? The Sparks in the Park event he is at is one of those 'Fireworks set to music' shows where its just people and families having a good time. Everyone is smiling, everyone is safe. He makes life i America sound bad but I know it can't be all bad there.

We have racism of course like anywhere, but in NZ it’s more curiosity more than fear for most people.

[@madamelebuff]

My opinion is, the guy looking at him from behind was curious about his accent & what he was doing recording & talking into his cell phone. People are rarely just walking around recording people in public. I'm sure people are friendly towards him just based on his accent alone.

[@robe2504]

In NZ no one carries guns, unless they're out in the bush hunting. Even the regular cops, only the equivalent of a US SWAT team carry guns. We had one mass shooting, and banned all automatic weapons within two weeks. It's not perfect, despite strong DEI type laws women don't quite get the same average wage as men, but free public health care for all, no abortion restrictions from a patient welfare or medical position, but there is an underlying passive racism in older and rural areas that will probably take generations to lose, but there no THUGLIFE type rituals for ethnic minorities over here that I am aware of.

[@roberts5539]

there's a mosque, very near Hagley park in Christchurch, where some Australian rightwing fanatic opened fire killing many people there. He also attacked another mosque a few kilometers away. He killed 51 people- men, woman and children, live streaming his handiwork. The government (Labour) outlawed the ownership of semiautomatic weapons after that. Our current government (a coalition of right wing extremists and capitalists) are trying to undo that law for fun and profit. Getting nz 'back on track' they call it.

That guy giving that weird look probably overheard that tiktoker's American accent or maybe he looked familiar and was trying to work out where he had seen him - It was a harmless look but I totally understand why you would have thought that though.

Just your accent would peak someones interest here, lol you will feel very very un noticed or you will have people happy to see a visitor they may ask you how long you are visiting or they may tell you of nice places to visit, or offer to take you to new places, when you are filming some people may be curious with that to because you wont see that many people filming here, I hope you and your family have a seriously chill awesome happy time making memories, trust me no1s out to get you here. Its Sad you have had to live your life on guard, no place in N.z is unsafe for you to visit and enjoy.

It's extremely unusual to see black American people in NZ. There is a real curiosity to hear their stories and feel the vibe. It would be great to see more black Americans over here, they are vibrant, innovative and interesting.
