How can you hate me when you don't know me? Such a powerful word for people who hate others basically for no reason and just because they don't look and behave like them .

[@FREEDOM1TRUTH1BOLDNESS]

Right?? HATE of others for being different born, Very and ENTIRELY true EVIL. That kind of hate reveals a deep seeded mental problem or a severely low self esteem problem or an IQ too low to be measured or just plain FEARFULNESS of the beauty differences between peoples. Racism, hatred, all of it is actually a self destruct in the end. Terrible terrible terrible is what it is no matter where anyone stands or comes from on the matter. 100% Too many think it is good to hate those who persecuted them, but that is only a personal failure to prevent one's own heart from becoming the very ugly thing, a monstrous evil, which wanted to damaged them in the first place, aka, LOWERING oneself down to the level of one's evil haters AND HANDING ONES HATERS THE VICTORY in their efforts to destroy your inner AND OUTER beauty.

[@Africanvillageactivities]

[@missknight9]

Very well said, I couldn’t agree more

[@winstonchurchll]

I agree. He's a national treasure.

[@cherylalt101]

Thanks for sharing your very thoughtful and well stated comment. This is such a critically important issue in our world right now. I'm grateful that Morgan Freeman has lent his skillful narration and interviewing skills to this report. I truly wish people would accept each other and stop fighting. I hope this program will help conversations progress peacefully. Take care and thanks again for your interesting comment.

[@paolopinoargote]

@@cherylalt101 Thank you!

[@franztavares7009]

Also his voice was calming my mind...Morgan Freeman is the best

[@patriciafields6184]

Morgan Freeman is one of the greatest actors of all time, his voice has a distingused presence.

[@hassanachahboun2687]

Distinguished

[@AllboroLCD]

He also had a full on relationship with his step grand daughter. Brought her to red carpet events and all.

[@AllboroLCD]

@MangoAP Enlighten me if im missing something. I'd say thats enough to turn the stomachs of most folks....... no?

[@AllboroLCD]

@Seryldas just the attitude that perpetuates more abuse. Like hearing your upstairs neighbor being habitually beaten and not informing the authorities.

Lots of love and peace to everybody reading this🙏

I found this so enlightening. I've been angry for a long time now, but I think it's time to try to reach out. We can't go on like this.

[@j.k.d.126]

A very intelligent response to well-presented new information. I have to agree with you.

[@FeralandSmelly]

One of the greatest and comforting things I have come to learn about life is, people can change for the better. It takes effort to accept what you're taught is wrong. It takes courage and intelligence to know you can change your thinking and lifestyle. We all need each other to live a full life.

[@DesireeMontoya-p3l]

"An open heart is an open mind". Morgan Freeman. would love more of these series, please and thank you .

[@dianallamas7135]

Stories like this is truly heartbreaking. In every sense. How and why people could be so cruel????? We are more alike than different and we ALL live in the same planet. I am truly sorry for all the people who have been and are being persecuted because of how they look, who they worship and believe and who they love, how much or little money they have. Humanity has some ugly ugly ugly traits but I will always continue to see the light in people and spreak kindness and respect and love through my actions. To show my children that being kind, respectful and loving towards someone is always better than hate. May God bless us all

[@cherylalt101]

Very beautiful and hopeful comment. Thanks for your kind thoughts. They are much needed nd much appreciated in the world right now. Have a lovely day/night!

[@christianwright9053]

This so true in all you said, most impotantly what you said about spreading kindness, respect and love, which is ultimatley a life well lived. I know firsthand how hard that can be when hate is directed at you, but love will always triumph hate despite at times not appearing so. Thank you again for your perspective.

[@LolaGilliam]

Morgan the best narrator!. "An open heart is an open mind". Morgan Freeman.

[@spakkx]

A couple of weeks ago is was wishing he'd do more interviews about this topic since i really like his stance on it. Didnt even think about him making a whole documentary about it, expectations exceeded!

[@davidclark2208]

I hope that one day we can all live together and respect everyone

[@MysticPisces]

Thank you so much for this beautiful documentary. It’s coming at a time whereby this subject of discrimination and racism is affecting so many people in my workplace that’s before the federal court in Canada. I thank you… in peace, light & Love 🥰💕🫶🏽

[@hourui8858]

Hope this documentary can be seen by everyone of us on this divided world, no matter how different of our beliefs, religions, cultures, political opinions...….

[@daviddavidson9681]

This is such a good series, and Morgan Freeman does an excellent job.

[@leilagomulka5690]

Yes. How can you hate me, if you don’t even know me. Beautiful quote

[@annfay6543]

If we do not try to understand one another better we will drive the wedge of discord even deeper into that which has made our country both great and strong, our unity. I hope many more people will watch this video and take it to heart. I plan to.

[@ladonnamcallister35]

Thank You National Geographic & Mr Morgan Freeman for this program - Having lived between the division's between my Native American blood line & my European blood line, my life was always in turmoil. What I believed to be true about how to treat "Mother Nature" and what I still see today is extremely frightening. My Native Culture and my European Culture still collide to this day . I don't know if this will ever change - I wish it would. There's so much tension between the * Full Blood & those who are not is just completely damaging to *Us All. Doesn't matter if you were raised the with the same cultural ideology. The fact remains that I am in between the world of culture and both are just as damaging to each other as they were to me growing up. I refused to raise my family with that kind of attitude. Instead I allowed Mother Nature to teach them what is important. It was the best trick - (teaching) the Creator has ever given me and for that I am very grateful!!!

[@projects325]

A exellent choice on who will tell the stories like this. 🤝🏽

[@katerinafreeman4651]

There is nothing more beautiful and powerful on earth than Truth. Mr. Freeman, thank you so much for your project.💔🙏🙏🙏

[@CeritaFandaVancouver]

it is a very compelling subject that I have always been wondering about. This channel and Morgan Freeman presented and engaged in the best possible way. Don't let anyone divide us, the world would be better if we are all open minded and willing to understand one another.

[@ninalarosa8280]

Yes! Morgan you have a platform to reach so many hearts! I so love this and cant wait to see more! This may be your purpose! Youare are

[@cherylalt101]

It's a wonderful program. I'm American, but I live in Vienna, Austria and I'm watching this, and I'm pretty sure people over most of the world will be able to see it. It's more a matter of spreading the word about it or advertising it in some way. So let's spread the word lol! Good luck!

Great message. We need this to go around the world. Thank you Morgan an NG.

My Best friends in elementary school were Asian and African. I am irish. When we got to junior high (7 grade) they told me the others in their ethnicity would not let them be friends with me. 45 now and I currently have no friends. We deserve better.

You are not alone my friend and i know it's not how should be . Stay strong beautiful and have a lovely day 🌷💗🫂 love and peace from Poland 🌃🕊️🌇

[@witteegameapps7031]

If it means anything, I hung around with maybe 12 guys I thought were friends. After highschool, never heard from them since.

[@bambi_233]

This is so saddening. I hope friendship for you! We all do indeed deserve so much better! You did not lose friends, they lost a friend in you! A friend will stand beside you even when it's not popular & even when it's looked down on by others. Wishing you the best friendships of your life to come, despite barriers others set for us!

Morgan Freeman is such a delight to listen to. That he is truly engaged with the subject at hand, is as obvious as sunlight at high noon.

Thank you Morgan. Remain Blessed.

[@BrandonS-lk2qc]

While I no longer practice Christianity, my deep and abiding love of Israel and the wisdom found in Judaism has never left. I continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. The story of Fred Phelp's daughter being shown God's love through the wisdom of a good Jew says it all. To all Christians: The Jews are your older brothers and sisters. Do not disparage their wisdom. They have studied the face of your Jehovah for a thousand years longer than you. Christians, you are good at quoting chapter and verse...but the tables have TURNED. It is now the JEWS who have the Torah (the Word of God) written on their hearts, and the Christians who know it in word but not in deed.

[@danieldavid9194]

I will be the first to admit, I have watched many videos about what is happening to our world these past few years! When you are older and retired, you have the time to think. many times I have expressed feelings of pushing back! This video is a game changer. Thank you! I and Us can find a way to make a positive contribution to bring us together!

[@dandutch69]

Morgan the best narrator!

[@steveo3831]

He is way more than that

[@susanbanack4855]

I am a Hispanic with light skin and blue eyes. Back in the day, as a young girl, some people picked on me due to my color. I'm so proud of this gentleman for stepping up to the Klang. By the way, I have always had a crush on Morgan Freeman. I love how he explores the world and its people. What a great thinker.

[@juliaarana2188]

we need more programs like this !! !. 😊

[@Boom-ou1vb]

I truly wish people would evolve past what we have always been. Go beyond the competition, the hate, the inability to accept differences. The vast majority of people in the world are this way. We sit strapped to our jobs and our location and so we only get tailored stories based on behavior engines so knowing what everyone feels and says sometimes is spoon fed to the masses via a little electrical box.

I had the privilege to visit the Embera tribe a few years ago by happenstance you could say (last excursion available on a cruise). We got to meet the chief and ask him many questions. Ate with them. Got "tatooed" by them. It was one of the BEST decisions I've made in my life! Truly a magical and moving experience. We cried as we left them. They truly live in peace.

I am a aboriginal from Canada and seeing this makes me wonder how all of westen civilization hated multiple racist by not only the colonization but also the assimilation to other races to conform to the western standards. The people who died in order to get a races freedom what we have today. We are talking hundreds of years of killing people because of the color of our skin. I believe there are good and great people who change the world around them regardless of the color of your skin. Morgan did an awesome job at capturing the audience. I really love this documentary❤

Thanks for sharing these amazing stories ❤

[@fluxfaze]

Being attacked triggers what I used to think was hatred because negative emotions experienced upon being attacked were so sudden and so intense. But what is actually happening is instantaneously reflexive resistance to being lured into the act of hating by attackers. They want me to hate because they know hatred will weaken me. I can’t claim to love my attackers, but I do sincerely pity them.
