I have an albino sister and she's really pretty like no joke all the boys like her not trying to sound like exaggerated and the rest of us are black but we just call her an inside out Oreo :) and when she was growing up many many people messed with her and us b/c they thought we were lying and she would cry everyday but now she knows what her condition is and embraces it and its awesome yes we get stares but hey people always stare when something is eye catching and I'm proud to be her sis and kid trust me it gets better just wait on it

[@Totalchaos0228]

My twin brother and I are albino, thank you for loving and treasuring your sister.. I spent so many years getting spray tans, it's hard even when you are Caucasian to be different...ppl called us Village of the Damned kids and were afraid of us..

[@luckythirteen2196]

He's a beautiful boy. Just wish someone would take the time to explain the difference between no pigment and (white looking) he's not white. :( clearly he's African American. The teachers can help him so he can enjoy his time at school.

[@luckythirteen2196]

[@shair00]

I was born a siamese twin and I lost my right leg during the separation so I do understand how cruel kids can be. I didnt allow it to mold who I became as an adult except that I tend to be more understanding of peoples feelings and try harder not to hurt them.

[@mercylago4744]

shair00 yeah great you didn't. It slows down for most of us and we come to a point when we realize the people who teased us were just immature. Regular teasing can break people. It makes some of us bitter but I think most of us just learn what not to do to other people. I don't like to make other people feel bad.

[@arronhaggerty9661]

he's ethnically an African American, he's has just light, but not white as in European white. so I understood when we said he's not white, because genetically he's not.

[@superwog8229]

So called White peoples were never actually a "singular white race", but are albino's; modern white Europeans are the combination of African albino's from Africa and Indian albino's from Southern Asia, breeding and mixing together in Northern Europe before the advent of the Roman empire.

[@hmcccpp]

Super Wog partly true plus some proto middle eastern types and asian (mongoloids) -in eastern europe..

[@superwog8229]

arron haggerty White Europeans are albino's and not a race....

[@arronhaggerty9661]

***** North indigenous Africans are not pale, only the ones who invaded north Africa are pale, and not even all of them are pale.

[@hollydugal5299]

I have Albinism myself. I know this video is a bit dated but the information is still the same. I’m so glad that the awareness is out there. I don’t perceive Albinism as a curse or a negative trait. Society is ignorant and uneducated about this condition. I hope more videos like this will come out to spread awareness. I know a lot of people with Albinism who are very successful.

[@4romdaslumz]

Especially since a white man can take pills and be blacker than a black man and a albino could use a spray tan and look lightskin. Light ts makes no sense color isn’t a thing really nowadays any white man can become black but they still look white and blacks can have albinos and they still look black

[@thearcticfoxd8844]

[@mad7o7]

"He's the second part of my heart" AH TEARS WHY?!?!?!?!

[@maiiouma]

I really don't know why people stare and talk about it in the first place. I find it very normal and not worthy mentioning. When I see a person with albinism in the street I don't stare at all. Yes I say to myself "He is different." but not in a bad way.

[@54CFC]

If I was caught staring at someone who had albinism...my parents would've pimp slapped me. So I learned pretty early on, not to stare and mind my own business.

[@Magicmedo]

its the media dude! I live a very normal life I can drive im working I have a girlfriend I have friends people don't stare everything is ok! its just the damn media :)

Kenyon, I have albanism too. I dye my hair too. I am now Director of Camp Marcella a camp in NJ for children who are legally blind. That is where I met other children with albanism. There was no specilal equipment when I went to school (I'm 32 now) but with my family's support I now, in addition to camp, own my own daycare, and am a PhD candidate. I can't tell you people will stop judging or commenting, because in my world they still do. However, there is a sport for you -look it up Goalball it's so much fun.

[@TheSueBue]

Where are they now? So many positives and great that this family is so open and honest in sharing their experiences. Thank you! Great example of educational support, but as a person with albinism I can say I’m out playing sports. It depends on the individual, for those who may not realize this.

This is awesome and heartbreaking. I agree with some of the commentators below who say that a person with albinism lives a totally normal life. However, middle school is a very challenging time for all children, especially those who the "in-group" views as different. He will hopefully grow into a self-aware and self-confident adult, but I hope that nobody forgets how hard it is to be different amongst your peers at such a difficult age.

[@carolelandry6793]

Albanism people are not black people, they are not white. They are just people just like everyone else, just like his parents, they were not fully black, but why does it matter so much to people, what colour anyone is. Just love everyone as they are. Skin colour does not matter. Jesus loves everyone as they are.

When I look at her well i can swear I see one of the sweetest children in this world, because she is definitely... not just because she's my daughter. They are so soft, pure, beautiful, like not from this Earth. And most of all they are a part of the youth of the nation of the population on this planet. Remember that. The world is full of different kinds of people that's way it's beautiful. That's why the life is beautiful and worthy. Every parent has to explain this to their children! Everyone!

[@elizabethboulter7578]

These are great kids with great parents. I find myself wondering if the incident in the store (where the older white woman called security on Kenyan's father) isn't a whole lot more about racism than it is about albinism. I mean, she would've acted that way about a black father with an adopted child, or a black male caregiver with a child he is responsible for. I guess these are two interconnected issues, two kinds of prejudice.

These children in school won't understand unless a teacher explains it. Albinism is colorless- it's not white.. although he appears white to them, they are hurting his feelings by saying that. You can clearly see he's an African American boy.. with no pigment. He's beautiful!

I have albinism. I can't tell you how many times I've been called a "Ghost" by people. Once, someone even told me I'd blend in with the pages of a book! Just last week, a group of kids were thinking about why I was so white. They didn't even make it secret! I was, like, 5 feet away! I'm fed up of how many times I've been bullied for having to wear a cap, or for having pale skin. I also get dizzy a lot because of it, and all people can do is laugh when I can't help it.
