This Made Me Cry in Switzerland | police brut@lity in america

[@kidmaxima4life]

This made me cry because so many of us experienced these same feelings in life. I'm so disappointed in America and its growing each and every day. All I know to do is pray

"People walking around with the audacity to feel safe." This is a topic close to my heart as my Mother lived a part of her life during apartheid. The last couple of weeks have been so heavy💔

[@mej6400]

I really love this video, bc I did born in Switzerland but I’m an Albanian Muslim and I always felt safe in Switzerland, the people here are very nice compare to America. I‘m not saying Switzerland is perfect and doesn’t has racism or discrimination but it’s not that big like in America. I have to say that we have a lot of people in Switzerland with different skin color, Muslims or different nationalities, respecting each other. Sending love to u, stay yourself ❤️

[@mannimoki]

Thank you for sharing your story with us and being so real. It's so crazy how pervasive racism is and how it burdens so many people wether they know it or not.

[@alexandramartos6526]

I grew up in Geneva and I am so proud and have felt like this growing up there about diversity. I was so shocked when I moved to a VERY WHITE American Chicago suburb. And my shock has only gotten worse over the past 10 years....

[@TheFinancialFreedomDiary]

Wow, Tinesha! This is so powerful. I don't if it's just me but have you notice that as we try to make ourselves smaller, others keep expanding? There's never enough.

[@FunandBudget]

"Other's keep expanding"...OMG Yes!

[@michaelwolf7886]

As a white South African from Johannesburg, living in Switzerland. I can understand the situation of being in a non racial society like Switzerland has. It’s very open and based on a hamanetarien level. Sending love and peace to all humanity! ❤❤❤

[@ten-kadtog7863]

Thank you for this video 🙏🏾 I just realised that PTSD is exactly what so many of us experience. Actually I feel totally relaxed only in Africa 💚💛❤️

[@KaceyGreen]

❤😢 Thank you for sharing. Hopefully our efforts and those of our parents, grandparents, etc. will eventually lead to such comfort here at home. I grew up in a military household as well and my parents did a great job insulating us from a bunch of the reality but they never let us forget to stay vigilant.

Hi I'm half Swiss half Thai, I faced really few racism, my best friend is also mixed but she's half Burkinabe and half Swiss she faced more than me in this. Racism is everywhere but we feel blessed because the majority of people are supportive and our country is really multicultural even amongst white Swiss with our languages, each Canton have its own culture. I live in the Canton of Vaud and I feel accepted even by the country side folks, I'm part of a youth group and most of people from these youth groups are white (youth groups are mostly a country side culture in my canton) and never in those gathering of youth group I felt discriminated against and I'm the only poc in mine. All of my childhood friends are white but they are like brothers to me, police men when they come to our village to control people for the pandemic (we were not supposed to be more than 5 in the same open space) they did control our IDs but they knew we always hang out with each other and we always had nice chat with them. And our education system is truly a blessing (except for our language teaching, I was lucky enough to have a native English speaker as a teacher). I'm not religious but even in church I feel accepted (I go to church once a year for the Toussaint celebration it's a holiday to celebrate the dead and the Saints it's like the Halloween celebration, same day but more religious). I'm rambling bc I may be a little bit tipsy

[@FunandBudget]

Thanks for sharing and LoL at you rambling because you may be a little tipsy.

Thank you so much!

[@millysbeautifulmess4978]

Thank you so much for sharing this!! My heart truly aches for the pain and suffering that is constantly happening! It is not fair and I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired! 😡 I am tired of feeling scared every time I kiss my husband goodbye before he goes to work not knowing if he will return home today! Every time I see my children growing up to be strong black men and someone feeling threatened by the color of their skin. Life shouldn’t be lived with these fears because someone’s skin color should never be a topic of conversation. 🖤

I missed out on a trip to Berlin due to my fear of traveling while black. My job was gonna send me there for two months. The PTSD is real.

I'm happy your son has since recovered 🙏🏾. I understand what you are saying, it hurts. I think it's envy and it causes all sorts of problems... -Proverbs 14:30

[@alisabae3226]

I clicked on this b/c I'm planning on moving to Geneva. I'm a black person born in America. I was having doubts. Thanks for sharing. You are so right about being made to feel as less than. I hope your son has had a full recovery! Now I'm wondering why this video doesn't have 233K likes?

[@FunandBudget]

Thank you so much - and I really think its hard for people to relate to what I am saying because you either have to be black and/or you would have had to go outside of the country. I just got back from Ireland...and we felt this same way there as well. In so many ways even Ireland is doing a better job of integrating different races and nationalities than America has.

[@Monrentho2008]

Wow, thanks for sharing your story! You have enlightened me!

[@DolceVents]

Wow 😩 this is breaking my heart. The 911 part😭. God I pray this sht ends because I’m tired man

[@dasmilingoddess]

Oh wow, I love hearing about that 😍 I love being black, but I always said if it was divided by race groups, I would go to the group where it was a little bit of everyone from every race. That's the world that I dream. I will definitely add this to my place to visit. Thanks! 😘

Thank you for sharing...seriously.This is why travel is the best education. Just simply getting out OUT and being able to realise you dont have to take that shit and that's not how it is everywhere...I've never had alot of money,still dont we make like 50 grand a year now in our I'd thirties obviously I'm white so not the same but. I made it a priority to travel and I try so hard to explain and encourage people who just feel it's not for them and they cant so it to travel because it opens your fucking eyes

[@glendayvonne7]

Beautiful 🥰😘

[@expressedforlife3018]

My heart goes out to you, Andre, and Gwen...life is so precious. We have a right to get help for our family and friends. I think we are going to see more diversity in the police departments. How can we get people in their neighborhoods to serve and protect in their neighborhoods as well? There needs to be abundant and consistent monies be put into these very communities for starters. There needs to be accountability and transparency for how the monies are being used.

[@vlera8447]

People need to live in a place for awhile to really understand what's going on. Geneva is the most international of Swiss cities due to its international organisations. There is racism here for sure; it's just different from the US. Personal safety is great, though in terms of lack od gun violence. Black American woman who has lived here for nearly 25 years.

[@FunandBudget]

There's racism and biases everywhere but for me this was more about me not even realizing that I've been walking around not even fully breathing and I think a lot of us may not even realize the effect being black in America has had on us because well, its our norm.

[@DolceVents]

Listen!!! Always KNOW that the TOURIST EXPERIENCE is NOT the same as the experience of living in a place with the locals, doing the same things that the locals do day in day out. As tourists, one is ALWAYS WELCOME because of the DOLLARS!!! When someone follows your blog and thinks "oh Geneva, or Berlin or Paris is soooo friendly I am going to move there" and then actually does that, then that person will get to find out HOW RACIST the locals truly are. It's going to be a RUDE AWAKENING. I'm talking out of experience!

[@FunandBudget]

Listen!!! You may be new to this channel or my videos...but I am an avid worldwide traveler. I go on a vacation once a month...so trust me I know the difference between being a traveler and a local and how any experience is never going to be the same as a fully immersed experience. So as a traveler who's been to many countries and many places I am speaking from astute observation and general vibration. Trust...Geneva felt different. Trust...another black man was executed in America. And if anyone moves to a city/place/zoo because of what they watched on my vlog - they are STUPID...they have more issues than being influenced by a video on youtube. Are you serious right now? You watched a vlog and then moved? wow.

I'm not saying that...I wasn't there long enough to say if Swiss are or are not - but what I am saying is I didn't feel the overt racism or see some of the effects of racism that I see in America but hadn't even really noticed until I visited Geneva.
