Is it out of ignorance or cowardliness that you would dismiss our struggles as something in the past that shouldn't be remembered much less talked about? Much of what the U.S. is known for, starting with the birth and turbocharging of its economy is the reason immigrants come to this country is due to this county's chattel slaves and their descendants. "Your" opinion of the chattel enslavement of my people is the same as that of right-wingers and other assorted white supremacists, anti-black bigots and racists. Try telling Jews to forget about their past, or Native American Indians (but not the five dollar ones), or the Chinese and Philippians subjugation by the Japanese government. I'm not surprised that you would do this in front of a mostly non-black audience.
I'm black and I was raised in Ireland. I've never been discriminated here but it seems like if I ever visit America I'll be discriminated against for my race or somehow "not being black enough". There's a huge obsession with race over there and visiting America sounds difficult for me.
True but you have to know that we would’ve been moved on and we’re trying to but the government burned our black wall streets down put crack in our neighborhood red lined us to we’re we couldn’t build generational wealth stuff like that so I agree but disagree but now modern times we should move on and be peaceful and nice to one another😢😊
I am a Japanese student. What I want foreign people watching this video to know is that Japanese people look at foreigners in a rare way, but I think that many people look at them with admiration, never with racist eyes. I am sorry if my poor English comes across in a bad way.
アメリカだと、見てて目が合うと「I like your hair!」その髪型イイね!とか、「Where did you get your bag?」そのバッグどこで買ったの?とか、何で見てるか言うから、嫌な感じがしないんだよね。日本人は話さないから、見られてる方は嫌な気持ちになる。日本人も声を掛け合って、知らない人とも気持ち良く交流できるようにしたい。
6:50 Thank you so much for pointing this out. I've never seen someone from a western country understand what we feel about it. some western people think they are always right and believe Japan needs to follow them but they don't realize they are just being arrogant.
