[@VastiaPascale]

There's an Asian one and there weren't this many butt hurt messages. Every race makes sacrifices but right now in this video it's black people. You see the title. You clicked on the video ANYWAYS and then get salty. If you didn't comment these comments on the Asian video refrain from doin so on Black ones and the next which is most likely Hispanic/Spanish.

[@judithneil3603]

THANK YOU

[@gracejensen13]

I hate those comments saying "everyone has problems!1!!! not just black people:)))))" like? ok? stfu?

[@darudesandstorm1656]

+J'adore Vastia Dude you are pretty xD that's a good thing ya know ;D

[@LiamlaChapelleYonson]

+ItsJokerHD well dont put it like that. but there is some truth to it. and to the first comment what are you talking about, stop and actually think about that there is always two sides of a coin and we need to see all races not just one.( like the video buzz feed did questions blacks have for whites).

[@JeweleryPower]

You are so pretty oh my gosh

[@RaiNinShoTS]

People that aren't black really like to talk about how they know what it's like

[@thecatholicbananaduck1232]

says the sayan

[@RaiNinShoTS]

Damn...

[@ViolentMLG]

+Prince Vegeta Every race knows the struggle. People are just upset blacks (some but not all) think they've only experienced struggle and other races haven't.

[@lunaluna6474]

It's because my mom had to go through most of what they experienced as well.

[@riverburns1845]

Cause you don't have to be black to go through poverty. Sure, we don't have to go through issues do to our race, but misfortune isn't only reserved for one race.

[@alexandrakotanidou2814]

The one with the mum who ate ice..It got me so hard...

[@sara5668]

[@RambunctiousRegan]

I love my mom sooo much

[@isabelbecerra3881]

these are all so sad but aww man the one about his mom eating ice hurt

[@pcuell00]

yeah 😭

[@gabrielle9248]

y did that 1 hurt i dont understand

[@1234yolo1234]

+Gabrielle because she wasn't eating proper food so her children would have food to eat.

[@phillynative2884]

thumbs up

[@ConONeill]

I'm proud to be white BTW I'm not actually proud to be white it was just to show that when people say they're proud to be white then people think it's racist but when black people are proud of their race they thunj it's not. No one should be proud of their race. 

[@antoniomontes198]

proud to be american

[@felixl6520]

Proud to be human, how about that

[@Lieejah]

Proud to be mixed with black and white😛

[@jazzysimpson4972]

White people in the comments be like "where's the video about us"

[@zoilalulu3798]

lol

[@Nekoala]

Personally, I don't care if these people are black or white, but I wish the video title was "Children From Families Reveal Sacrifices Their Parents Made" instead of categorizing by race.

[@diamond2979]

+Nekoala it's separated by race because many black people struggle because they are black and the same for other poc

[@Nekoala]

diamond mcdaniel I'm well aware of that, but I still can't see the point.

[@zoesierra4289]

+Nekoala she literally explained it to you, I understand where you're coming from somewhat, but I mean...

[@cooli22bunnsters77]

They're just hard to find now because they were probably reported or lost in the comments

+Im Just Me bruh

[@hunterhuseby4998]

+Im Just Me When I watched it yesterday (the video was just posted) a good half of the comments were complaining about the video.

[@ctaylah]

The comment weren't this negative on the Asian video.

[@antoniomontes198]

no buzzfeed to stop all of this everyone goes through hardships it should stop being black or hispanic or asian no no were all americans stop pitting eveyone against each other

[@313money]

+Antonio Montes its just a video its not pitting people against each other. just dont watch it if you dont want to learn about other cultures

[@NotVeryAmusing]

+ctaylah I'm assuming its because they immigrated to america, while the sacrifices that their parents made aren't exclusive to black people

[@MrCheesyBaconBits]

+ctaylah Many white Americans don't like black people... and it is mainly Americans when I hear "WHITE" people hate blacks im thinking no we don't we live and let live, America is letting the side down XD... although coming to think about it my country proper raped Africa and its people for their richies and that's why we are so rich... hmm... :c

[@kyadelavoka]

Cause Asians are close to white and Blacks are the farthest

[@TheEloc2]

Come on white people ( I am White) just because this isn't about us YOU DONT HAVE TO BE JEALOUS NOT EVERYTHING IS US!!!! It's frustrating to see that my OWN RACE is getting pissed off about this.

[@britishhoodlum3157]

Thank You!!!

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@JodiesSideEye]

Why is it whenever a black person has a narrative on their PERSONAL life experiences, it seems other people of "one specific race" want to impose the their opinions on that black individual? Most of the time those "opinions" are based on negative stereotypes portrayed by a biased media? I just don't understand why a black person isn't allowed to look and feel like an actual human being?

[@thomasryan9669]

+Valleygurlie916 why is every white person considered to have done wrong to the world

[@JodiesSideEye]

+Thomas Ryan you projected that... Never said white nor did I mention anyone being wrong.

[@JodiesSideEye]

+Valleygurlie916 but if the shoe fits

[@thomasryan9669]

but did you answer the question?

[@JodiesSideEye]

+Thomas Ryan honey you'll have to answer that yourself

[@rihiannaslilrockstar]

Watch the comments be full of hate soon. Even though they did an Asian version but obviously anything about black people is hated. Despite how sad and touching this was. 😢

[@rihiannaslilrockstar]

I'm hoping I'm wrong.

[@bobgoldberg2632]

I don't think this will be, because it's a good video. usually buzzfeed produces reverse racism, but this is solid.

[@Ryanfinder226]

+Archeline .Y you're totally right. Blacks and Asians are the only two races that have parents right? So insightful.

[@rihiannaslilrockstar]

I don't really believe in reverse racism but yea buzzfeed likes to draw reactions. Like the questions black people had for white people I wish they worded the title better because there was so much hate on the video cause. And generalizing a race is kind of counterproductive when you're talking about how you've been generalized. They care more about views then actually solving social issues so it makes sense.

[@ItzPronto]

I think it's just because this is a stupid idea for a video. Disregarding race

[@prettygaby18]

CAN WE JUST TAKE A MOMENT FOR FETUS QUINTA @0:27

[@kaceygarcia7350]

+NeedCoffee Meow Where do you order xD

[@jazs2300]

I'm in tears. It's sad that a literal piece of paper (money) can cause all of this.

[@wren9463]

BrownSkinGirl Jazs ....it isn't money that causes the need to sacrifice for your kids. Even when money didn't exist, and people had go out and spear a large animal for food...there were parents who would sacrifice anything for their kids...thank God are humans would've died out long ago.

[@ilovecats8855]

I never thought I Of it like that but yeah it is sad that a piece of paper can control your fate

[@thegamersterYTB]

I'm not black, but i'm hispanic. My dad had a stroke back in june. We didn't have money. We are still paying for the medical bill but when we were at the hospital. My mom sacrificed not eating just to feed me and my brother. We only had 100$ dollars left in my dads pocket when he had the stroke. He forgot everything. We didn't know the bank account password and there was 1,000 dollars in there. All of my mother's friends were helping her giving rides just to go to the hospital (we didn't have a car) I remember I use to ask to get food out of the vending machine in the hospital and my mom always use to give us money for it. I couldn't believe that I did that. After I realized that, i stopped doing that. Then one day my mom found 300 dollars under my dads bed. My mom was so blessed. She thanked god for that. My dad is now better. If you are still reading this. Hug your parents. Say I love you to them. If you are still reading this god bless you. Thank you for your time.

[@danas881]

I'm so glad your father is doing better. May GOD continue to bless you and those you love! Thank you for sharing❤️

[@thegamersterYTB]

Thanks.

[@thegamersterYTB]

Thanks. I had to go to Canada because my sister got killed by a drunk driver (the person driving the car was drunk and they both died) She was 19 year olds.

[@aquavasquez1839]

+John Vaccaro no need to be disrespectful. They're just trying to show support

[@johnvaccaro1999]

+Aqua Vasquez to people who can be atheists?

[@cosimafire7556]

Here comes all the white hurt feelings comments

[@wowrogue192]

+Cosima Fire All of those comments are perfectly acceptably as it's not only black parents that struggle to raise their children. This video is disgraceful.

[@bluetyronic]

+wowrogue192 sigh, it's not about race......nobody said other races didn't make sacrifices.

[@jazzhemmings9719]

+wowrogue192 then make one yourself:)

[@wowrogue192]

BlueTyronic But why is there only black people in this video?

[@wowrogue192]

jazz hemmings I shouldn't have to, If Buzzfeed wants to be about equality, they should have put people of all races in this video.

[@saltyshimakei4155]

*That's what parents do. They **_sacrifice_** for their children, regardless of race or ethnicity.*

[@itzayanathyme]

+Castiel Winchester and they alreaady did for asian, pretty sure they will dof or eveyr race, I dont know why people cant be rspecful of others

[@saltyshimakei4155]

***** I'm not sure where you interpreted me being disrespectful anywhere in my comment, but I was not. I was stating a truth. Parents are parents and they sacrifice for their children.

[@itzayanathyme]

Castiel Winchester and I did not see ay of this comment in the asia version people just always ahve somehting to say when is comes to black people.

[@saltyshimakei4155]

***** It has nothing to do with race. Parents are parents. Period.

[@itzayanathyme]

Castiel Winchester yeah right , where were you when the asian video came out? there was NO sush a hate and this comment in the aisan one, simple!, people only have to complain when is about black

[@sweetnothings7347]

who the freak disliked this video. ignorant people! I'm legitimately crying right now!

[@realmadridforlife9475]

it's called racism funny how that word got auto corrected to racing

[@anonymous-hm1so]

[@tonyswe9463]

I am laughing now. Lol

[@edeniero6790]

As a white person, I am sorry for all the ignorant comments people are making. This is not about white people.

[@soccer12336]

+Eden Iero You shouldn't have to apologize for them just because you're white yo. Point is you as an individual understand the point of the video dude.

[@ChenelleAvallone]

+Johnnie Brown they arent apologising for being white. They are apologising on behalf of the ignorant who are white.

[@Music_Lover0612]

Eden Iero Don't ever apologize for what someone else did.

[@rachelzhou6380]

Thanks, boo 😘

[@possxssed]

Pink Champagne You're right, maybe because you have such negativity there is nobody to talk to you. You're used to being trash talked. If you you were nice to others, people would like you back, then you wouldn't of posted your comment. Your argument is invalid. Smile more :)

[@rominam4254]

Whyyyyyyyyyyy is the world so sad can't there be a way for everyone to be happy :(

[@englahimla9451]

If you're never angry or never experience sadness you can't be happy :/ You won't know what happiness is like, and that will make you sad in the end... Because just being happy all of the time is going to get boring in the end, and if you can't feel sad or angry you'll just live without feelings kind of...

[@ckvfilms1]

The World is not sad at all trust me. Please understand that you can be sad at times and that is fine too, sadness can be a beautiful way to find your happiness!. You have to built happiness and the true joy on the mud of unhappiness that's the way it works. We life in a world with a lot of sad things in this world like we life for a while, get our hearts broken, maybe family our friends get sick or die and you die too. But I believe that you will reincarnate. So What I mean to say is sometimes sadness and bad things that happen to us is a needed !! It can be foundation for our own true joy. Just recognize your pain and sadness look at it.. recognize it and let go of it . let go of everything and feel the full joy of the world. That''s my wish. That every being in this universe feels the joy of the present moment the joy of the now just happens. Meditation really helps to calm your mind , You could try it !

[@ckvfilms1]

Yes there is away : The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness ! Meditate , be kind and feel true compassion towards others. The world is happiness!! Meditate and look at the world. You will realize everything is in it's place, doing what it needs to do. It's so beautiful I really hope all beings in the world will enjoy it and realize true happiness!

[@emmapedersen1221]

Romina M It's just not like that. The world is not perfect.

[@ckvfilms1]

Hope you one Day Will see differently.

[@qweenawilliams6322]

To the people are saying "do my ethnicity our parents struggled harder" please have a seat. Also realize that the stories of 5 people do not reflect everyone else. Of course many of you will accept the ideal that "immigrants would have a harder time adjusting to life here and the immigrant parents would naturally have to give up more and work harder" but you wouldn't believe the horror stories of some of BLACK AMERICAN BORN parents and great grandparents, and great great grand parents. The few people on here are privileged to have a platform to share their experiences, and to demean black parents and their struggles as less than others because of these 5 people is sick. Even if in your mind you still think "their struggles weren't as bad as other ethnicities" something should click and tell you "they are American born why do their parents struggle as much as immigrant parents". That's honestly enough in it's own and there shouldn't be any comparisons period.

[@CassieGrey21]

+Qweena Williams Notice how the hate on this video was more than any hate on the other parent videos. As if A Black person's struggles is lesser than theirs. My parents are from the Caribbeans and they weren't born here. Imagine working 25 years in a country but only have a visa for 7 years? Oh wait...never mind because Black people don't have those issues right? People need to get a life. Everyone has struggles and yours aren't more important than ours cause your parents are immigrants. Mine were too. Thanks for noticing that Qweena, and I agree with you 100%.

[@shreksdumpster]

For the negativity can you let them give minorities a chance to speak out? They did an Asian video now they're doing a black video and they can possibly do other videos like Latino etc. The thing about minorities it is that they come from all over the world without as much of a chance. My mom came from South Sudan with no parents and child by the time she was 21. During her journey to getting to the US for freedom, people did all sorts of terrible things to her. Minorities have more of a chance to struggle. They weren't given as much as an opportunity as most Caucasian people are given from my experience. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most white people don't have to worry about being born in a Third World Counrtry. If my mom didn't manage to leave South Sudan the time she did, she probably be dead because of the crazy Civil War that they just signed a peace treaty for. So enjoy the video, leave, or wait your turn. Nobody had the time to listen to your ignorance.

[@rihiannaslilrockstar]

If I'm on the first floor and you're on the third floor if we both go up a level we're not on the same level. I need to rise two more floors in order to be on the same level as you. That makes us equal if we don't start off in the same place we need to work harder or be given better opportunities in order to have any hope of making it to the same level as people who aren't recent immigrants.

[@ManiMooMoo]

+Abyss Spectre but you don't know if they're going to do a video of privileged or white parents. This video and the Asian video are like a month apart. You have no idea what other races or backgrounds they're planing on doing so what is the problem here? Is it that they didn't do white peoples first? If they would have done whites first and then everyone else after would yall still be bitching? Like damn relax, the whole world knows yall exist and that yall are important. Taking the spotlight off of the white race for two seconds does not mean it disappears.

[@ManiMooMoo]

+Thisiscarli yes, please let them go first next time so they don't have a temper tantrum. People on here whining more than my five year old.

[@TJ1142]

+Artliker1234 I misread I apologize. Thought you said "that isn't true"

[@Artliker1234]

+T Johnson haha okay. It definitely is true denying it would be impossible

[@ishecrishe]

People of every race can go through hard things, the reason people online separate race and show people of color, is because the whole media already shows white struggles, there's countless movies about the struggles of white, people, and celebrating white American culture. There's classic movies like snow white where her pale skin is praised, but then online when a black person praises melanin for giving them dark skin, people get mad. Both are great things to celebrate if you want, but one isn't shown as much in the big media so people have to take it into their own hands.

[@aryanisbookcave7272]

There's different races. Just wait for your chance to come up instead of hating on another. Sometimes the spotlight has to be shared, not everything has to be based on one specific player, in this case race. What I'm trying to say is, wait, be patient. Not every single minute everyone has to be looking at you, sometimes it takes more than two people to make an act work. (My metaphors are horrible and so irrelevant😅 but hope you understand)

For real we need some, there's so many Native American parents that risked it all but it's hard to find a hand full of us in American or anywhere

[@ayheavenly]

My mum's dad past when she was 11. My nan first met My grandad in the Fifty's and I think it was through a family friend. When she left for the UK she thought that would be the last time she would see him when in fact it was the last time she would see a lot of her family. She arrived in the UK with no clue what to do. It was hard especially being a Black young girl. She spent most of her time in job centre's until eventually she found a job working for a catering company situated around 5 minutes away from Buckingham palace. She said one day a lady walked in and she turned in surprise to see the queen, From that day she would pop in often to have a piece of my nan's rum cake. My nan Managed to save up enough money to purchase a bedsit ( a flat with only one room and a bathroom with a kitchen, living area and bedroom shared), She saw a bedsit in the newspaper that she had her eye so she called up the number and arranged to purchase it. When a she arrived at the bedsit she open the door and called out the lady's name and the lady walked out of the room astonished to see a young black lady standing there at the door, she asked " Are you, Miss Gray? " My nan replied with as yes "I'm ever so sorry but you can't have this flat because Ummm it just was sold, so please may you leave" left there with tears running down her face and returned to her family members home in Brixton. I'm still unsure how she met my grandad but I'm sure that he arrived in the UK to visit her and eventually stayed. He was a strict parent from what she says but mainly due to the Carribean upbringing. He past of a Heart attack. Just before he passed, my nan split up with him as she said sometimes he was abusive to her. He left my nan in debt and as a single black mother that was hard so she had to work night shifts which were from around 6 pm to 6 am but she would also work day shifts. She would get around 2 hours of sleep per day. My nan did not have the greatest education as she left Jamacia at the age of 18 and could not afford it. Her main aim was to give my Mum, her Brother and Sister the education she never had, so she worked even harder. My mum went to a Private catholic all girls school where she remember's having the best years of her life. My nan Paid of the debt and Moved out of the house that she felt had bad spirits around eight years later. My nan is lonely and I admit to that as she lives 2 hours away from my house. On Fridays straight after school, I go to visit her and really tell that she loved him.

[@babelove45]

This really made me realize how great my parents are and how most of the time I don't acknowledge the things that they do for me and the sacrifices that they have made for me. I love my parents and I appreciate the things that they do for me.😢💛

They have done this video with many different race, and I went through the comments. This is the only one some people have a problem with. What is with people these days. Anyways this was very touching.

I'm glad that I'm not the only black girl who gets anxious. People think black women are always confident but you gotta learn to be confident. It doesn't just come with you when you're born. When life gets tough, you have no choice but to be strong. And I think that ALL women and ALL men should learn to be strong because we all go through trials and tribulations in life and you gotta learn how to move on and focus on achieving your goals.

[@Kalbel1818]

this made me emontional and tear up a bit,godbless those parents for everything they done for their children

[@mayanichelle]

I'm not crying oh my gosh. I'm legit crying.

[@Riley-yd6hq]

I'm a Native American I like to say black people you guys fought through it latino people you guys fought through it asian people you guys fought through it Its sad because my people don't have a voice because our population is so low i'm proud to be friends with people of other races. Sadly the population of my people we'll never grow in school I'm the only full Native American. Some guys have countries that you can go back to for me my country is gone forever😓

[@mpk0422]

Some parents give up so much. It's truly great.

[@luciadozier1267]

mom..thank you for EVERYTHING!!! I love you.

[@Irasemay11]

gosh this made me cry because just now that i am almost 30 and have kids of my own realize all the sacrifices my made mom for my brother and i!

[@kindaking]

If you are reading this you are the best person in the world. This video was so touching!

[@cappycutie]

[@skrimpdick5583]

I'm not the beat person. I take a fence to that.

[@kindaking]

+suicidal pickle 😂😂

[@leroyamon6540]

+suicidal pickle is there something wrong with you

[@miyajohnson8982]

but if multiple people read this who's the actual best person in the world

[@JamesV84]

Eating ice while her kids ate sandwiches, what a sacrifice... That must have made your heart melt...

[@Jasmine-bx5xu]

I swear for y'all white/ Caucasian saying "What about us" or saying how this is racist just click of the video. Your comment is a waste cause you knew this video would be about blacks so why click on it and comment?

[@user6337]

LoL ReplayBaby tru

[@Ice_Pik_]

gtfo with all of that. My mom raised 3 kids on her own. worked 3 different jobs at once. I lived in a house with a hole in the floor. my dad worried about drugs and alcohol. i came from a family of immigrants which were oppressed by their country they lived in by neighbouring countries. my name is not white BUT because I'm classified as Caucasian i dont know any better. my mom suffered from 98% of what was in this video but yet I'm privileged.

[@Jasmine-bx5xu]

I'm sorry you had to live like that but try living life as a black person. You don't have to worry about walking to the store without getting shot or driving and getting pulled over. A lot of other races ain't as privileged as whites you don't see that yet probably because of the living conditions you lived in

[@Jasmine-bx5xu]

***** lmao blacks aren't the only that do that there are white on white Mexican on Mexican native on native black on black ofc

[@Jasmine-bx5xu]

***** Idk where you get these statistics from. You making it seen like whites are the perfect race when we all know that's a damn lie. And don't blame white on white crime because they grew up around black people. So damn ignorant

[@amygriffin6336]

Not going to lie, that brought tears to my eyes.

[@abbylane]

That picture with Quinta was so cute... This video was sweet.

[@nqobilesibisi3544]

daymn ...lemme call my mom

[@ChenelleAvallone]

Before you comment "why make it about race", just remember that that shows that you have a problem with recognising that people are racially different and thus are their struggles.

[@melodys9188]

I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING

[@silversoulss5663]

Nobody would hate if it were a video about a different race. Only the black people. Smh

[@gabbynaomi]

I agree some people are really ignorant

[@CatBeenToHell]

very same comments on the people from latino families, what are you talking about? I don't this video at all, I just find it odd to mention race at all when talking about parental sacrifice. Guess i'm too european to get your american obsession with races.

[@dereckwinter6919]

THEY HAVE DIFFERENT RACES ON HERE

[@bran107]

Everyone has had struggles in life and you all are like "where is the white version" but have you guys realized that people with fair skin came to America comfortably and stole land claiming they found a new world when native Americans were here first. And then they when to Africa and stole people of African origins and they were treated terribly they weren't classified as humans they were property. And just so you know rasicm still hasn't ended so it was hard for them to be accepted for jobs to live stably and give their children what was needed so they had to sacrifice . People of different races have too struggled because of stereotypes . But have you not realized Caucasian people had it easier today and in the past even if they were poor they could get a job faster than other races because stereotypes have made other races look bad and people are biased. But it all started when Caucasians thought they were genetically more intelligent than other races. So you guys have it easy.

[@bran107]

And if any of you have taken this offensively just know that people still think like this because it was the way they were raised. So don't take it in a ill manner just know it is my opinion

[@1withher]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

[@bran107]

+werty ytrew I am sorry that my comment has offended you. And I have never heard of the Mongol Horde or the Ottomans but I will look it up so that I will know about it. And I never said " whites are the most evil ones because they conquered most of the earth". I don't hold a grudge with them at all if that's what you were thinking. And I said everyone has struggles it is not against whites or anyone.I know many people of different races have done evil things so I have no say in who is the one that is crueler than the other. And I did not disregard anything , it may have come off that I only have a problem with whites but I don't everyone is treated equally but those who have proved wrong are not worth it.

[@cadetaylor4602]

Saintaehyung have you ever done your research?? You act like America created slavery the slave we got from Africa where already slave but in Africa believe it or not but there owner was another African American man and all these people want equality in like blacks not being treated equally but you are basically doing the same thing now by not creating a video for every race

[@rahstakksz713]

cade taylor America is the only nation that hasn't giving reparations to it's people

[@dorissaclaire]

The Dad thing made me think about my Dad. My Dad doesn't live with us either, but he is always there. He tries so much harder to be everywhere because he doesn't get to be there usually. I struggle with mental illness and he's always there to talk to me, and he never lets me suffer alone. I love you so much Dad

[@celestialpink3944]

[@luvkirai2937]

[@tiggycee]

I want to thank my parents for everything, and now I understand the mistakes that I've done affects you and not just me. So thank you for still being there even when you wanted to give up and walk away.

[@Taquana26]

That is so sweet! Wisdom!

[@molss4673]

Those powerful souls went through so much for their loved ones. I wish one day I could be like them 😊

[@MrTaymizzle]

I will forever be thankful for my parents! The sacrifices they've made so that I can have a roof over my head. Working long hours and different jobs to make sure there was food on the table. And always being they for me when I needed you most! I am so grateful to have to you two in my life. I love you both soo much!!

[@balaks150]

mom who ate ice.... really a great mom

[@sonyadevikumar3691]

"Thank you mom for giving up finding love... For me." To my mom too. Who has been single for 20+ years.

[@s.sarmadamer]

I wonder how do the people who edit these things manage to pull through without bawling their eyes out. SO. MUCH. FEELS.

[@UrbanLee92]

I remember the struggles of my family. We didn't have a lot of things. When i was young i didn't understand but Im older and i get it. It really makes you grateful and humble towards a lot of things in life.And i thank my mom and grandma for everything in life.

[@cookieassassin8828]

I love how they made an Asian and Latino video of the same concept and they didn't get as much hate comments combined as this one. All the people going on about what this has to do with race, try shuting up and looking at the real meaning?

[@amsuchniceness6252]

I love my parents so much. I'm truly grateful for them and everything they've done for me. ❤️😊

[@ashhhhhhleigh]

this video is amazing. I've been a single parent my entire adult life, this video strengthens my heart and gives me courage for the struggle. There is nothing greater than sacrifice for people who matter in your life and instilling a better future for your child. Thank you for posting this.

[@jcb444]

Thank you parents for the wonderful sacrifices you make for your children! Some parents don't always put their children first and you are setting a wonderful example for your children of what it truly means to love and care for someone. Those people sounded truly thankful for their parents and it's nice to see their appreciation.

[@missmiddle27]

Buzzfeed hardly ever does any videos with Africans in them.

[@queenawill3542]

ikr

[@jessg.5871]

+missmiddle27 They're black. Not African. Some of them aren't even from Africa but from the Caribbean.

[@queenawill3542]

Jessica M. Yes, we already know that they are black. But she's talking about Africans not blacks Africans. Or children that came from african families.

[@CassieGrey21]

+Jessica M. All of us Blacks have African roots. You are only partically right. Most people in the video have an American nationality but have roots from Africa.

[@jessg.5871]

Angy Olivier there parents could be from Jamaica or Haitian. One of them even said her mother was Caribbean not African-American.

[@WakandaBabe]

The guy at 3.00 gets me everytime.

[@sylhetgirl]

"I understand" ... Pow. Right in the heart. Its only when we get old do we realize how much our parent's did for us. WE LOVE YOU MOMS AND DADS, AND WE UNDERSTAND NOW.

[@SweetLemonJuice123]

My God Daysha's mom is so beautiful! She looks so young! She could have had any man she wanted, and she sacrificed for her babies. That's so beautiful.

[@Pantierina]

Ya'll making me cry up in here this morning....*HUGS*

[@serenity6831]

Teared up, this was really cool

[@triciatripp1361]

Omg this was so sad...Its crazy to think of the sacrifices all parents make.You are all beautiful people with beautiful parents❤️💐

[@fleekygirl1461]

I cried through all of this and all parents are amazing and they sacrifices a lot for their child and God bless them.

[@gracieoshannessy7429]

I'm a white, middle classed, privileged girl that's never had to struggle with money, I don't understand what it would be like for these people in the video. I'm so happy that there are videos like this, otherwise I wouldn't know that these were actually problems but PLEASE everyone in the comments, on social media please stop making these stereotypes of this is what people act like this is what white people act like etc. Everyone acts differently. I dont understand why its all there

[@allyxx2030]

Quinta was so cute when she was little omg

[@MaishaMaryamRahman1605]

This was so touching, oml. I might not know how this feels, but I do know it hurts. Salute to everyone who's struggled. Salute to everyone who's sacrificed.

[@jhanellesmith2756]

Wow this made me cry, this is awesome. Thank you Mom ad Dad for everything you have done for me to get me this far. You are my strength and my rock.

[@omarbadran2860]

That's why I think our generation is scared of commitment and having kids, because maybe we don't want to go through what our parents went through for us....

[@janetespinosa5806]

The one with the lion shirt is my story My dad works every day 24/7 to give us food,water, shelter, health everything I love you daddy ❤❤❤❤

[@jessca5971]

So much respect for all the sacrifices their parents had to make in order to assure their kids a good life! Y'all deserve an award like for real

[@eileenhsu6272]

OMG! I am really crying... I am so touched by your guys' talking and expressions.

[@appleberry3d12]

that picture of quinta and her mom is great

[@sammya7526]

It's make me mad when people say "I'm sorry I'm white or that not only black parents make sacrifices" like that's not the point of the video the video is to show what the parents had to do to make sure there children could survive its showing the sacrifices that parents did are different based off the race or culture so for the races that are complaining about this your making a big deal out of nothing. This is video is to show appreciation to there family.

[@jessicarochac9381]

this got me right in the feels. Good on you all for recognizing and appreciating what your parents did for you.

[@yadayada3703]

That was a beautiful video. Hearing what these fantastic parents did and how grateful their children are. I hope if I ever have children I can be as strong and selfless as these parents are.

[@CupcakeRollerblades]

I loved seeing this one, and the sacrifices that Asian parents made. I'd love to see a Hispanic one too because it'd hit closer to home and I know that my mother and stepfather, along with my biological father have made many sacrifices for myself and my younger brothers. Not because I'm picking sides but because I'd love to hear everyone's stories from all perspectives :)

[@jasminewembankoy9552]

+Max S. they already did a latino one

[@atlmcd]

I like your positive comment... Good people get good things

[@yaja7004]

the video clearly says "black people.." it doesn't say anywhere that other races don't sacrifice CHILL

[@krispybaconvideos]

Then why did they bring race into this?

[@yaja7004]

Akashi Seijuro {Bacon} because this is a series, they even have a "Asian parents..." version

[@DreamyRita]

The story of the mother offering sandwiches to her children while she didn't have what to eat touched me so much... God bless her.

[@sweetsuipi_]

Such a beautiful video. I definitely get where the lady who was talking about her mum not finding love because she would rather focus on her kids... My Grandmother was like that too, after my Grandpa had passed away back in 1986 my Grandmother had been a widow until she had passed away back in 2012, and never once did she thought of finding love. The bond and love that my mum and her siblings have is something that I always look up to and am thankful that me and my siblings have a bond like theirs! Strong Women and Men who make sacrifices for their family, I salute them!

[@MrCupcakeMonkey]

People are so mad because this is about black people and every race goes through these sacrifices and that it's separated into races. Get over it. Stop focusing on their race and start focusing on what they're saying.

[@isabellapatterson1406]

I choose to see this as a video about good parents not about race. We all make sacrifices, and we have all had sacrifices made for us, we should be thankful for the lives we have no matter how horrible they may be.

[@marshmallow81723]

theyre so sweet. what wonderful parents they have this made me cry

[@meltokio5106]

This is so beautiful. I don't have a great relationship with my mother but this has reminded me to think about the sacrifices she made for me.
