I"m white but I believe you when you say you've dealt with a lot. I had a good friend who was Jamaican and I was stunned at how racist people were towards him. He was a straight arrow but people (cops and security guards) treated him like he was a criminal. People say Canadians aren't as racist as Americans but I don't believe that. We need more black Canadians to talk about things like this. We need Canadians to wake the hell up and realize that this is a real problem in this country. Hang in there buddy.

their not your friends young man, just casual constituents who side with the present powers and opinions that be.

As a White Canadian, this makes me sick. I can't even comprehend your situation because as a white person, I never have, and will never have to experience the things you've experienced living in Canada. Some people are just horrible. Stay strong, and don't let anyone bring you down!

i hope you know how beautiful you are.

THAT TEACHER SHOULD BE FIRED. THAT IS EMOTIONAL ABUSE

I never knew how bad racism was in Canada. I love how you explained everything so well, but it's sad to know that it's still happening to this day. I'm black (African) and living in Australia and I have literally been called the N word so many times which makes no sense cause Australia has no affiliation with that word what's so ever. I did a similar video on my channel but I couldn't really say much cause overall racism where I live towards me isn't as bad as many others have it. Just subscribed btw looking forward to more videos like this x

Always speak up for yourself at every instances. Most bullies are cowards and always afraid of brave hearts.

Please don't listen to the haters at school, you're adorable and obviously a smart kid. Please continue your KZfaq videos, I think you'll do great things. I'm shocked and pissed this is happening in the Hamilton area.

I find it really hurtful that people don't think that racism is a problem in Canada. When I've described things that people have said to me or the way they've acted, the most common response is "I'm sure they didn't mean it like that" or "I'm sure you are just overthinking it". For me that's usually worse than the thing itself. Thanks for putting together this great video, I hope you make more!

Black woman currently living in Alberta. I definitely hear you on everything. Just try to mind your business. Focus on your schooling and get good grades than get the hell out and Move somewhere where black people don't deal with that nonsense.

Honestly the silent majority realizes your pain. We have your back my newly fellow Canadian. Please put out more clips. It'll make true Canadians question what we truly stand for. Luv from BC

Also, don't be offended when they call you African and when they make fun of Africans. This is one of the reasons some American blacks hate themselves. This is one of the reasons racism is so toxic. It can influence a person to hate themselves because of their race/ethnicity. I'm a native African, and I was made fun of in my American elementary school by both whites and some African Americans. Some white children were kind to me, and some black children were kind to me. You just have to remember that racist people are ignorant. They really do lack adequate educaton about history, and about loving those who are different from them.

This is terrible. You are a wonderful young man and deserve way better treatment. I am half black and have lived in Canada all my life. White Canadians are very racist will forever deny it. They are blissfully ignorant and it's disgusting. I can't count the number of times I've been followed in stores even though I make way above average income and dress very well!! It's the denial of racism existing in Canada by whites that blows my mind. I've tried to explain it to them but they look at me like I'm crazy and playing a victim. Canada is supposed to be such a friendly and accepting country but it's worse than the States.

Best video to date concerning this issue. You are a pioneer in this community. What makes you so special is the level of thought and consideration you naturally posses, most people are not able to discern racism from curiosity. Try your best to not let other people's meanness change your kind and gentle nature.

My heart is breaking for you. I heard you say that your friends say nothing when they saw and heard you being bullied, its sad but they are not your true friends. Real Friends will speak up when they see an injustice or you being bullied. My son had experienced a lot of racism when he was in high school and it hurt him a lot. Don't be afraid to speak up and let those kids know what they are doing is hurtful and wrong.

Vincent you are an intelligent young King! Dark skinned ppl ARE a MAJORITY in this world. Don't let them fool you. You have an incredibly strong head on your shoulder and great resolve. Your story will resonate with and help so many. Hopefully, you will be around a more diverse and supportive cohort for college. Sending you so much Love 💞❤

They're not your "friends"!

I will pray for you. You seem to have a great spirit still. Do not give up the fight. Try to write letters to the media, they will listen to you. Your story needs to be shared I will post it on my blog. Don't let them break your spirit!!

You have such a pure soul, I hope your awful experiences doesn't destroy that wonderful quality. I lived NYC, and still experience few instances of racism but I don't think I could of dealt with the level you had to endure and you have done with such grace. Know that your strength empowered and inspired someone who may have dealt a similar path as you. P.s. I pray one day soon you'll make a group of friends that actually understands the meaning of friendship.

You do not have to put up with that shit. You are experiencing hate crimes.

Hey kiddo! I'm a black (mixed st lucian & indian trinidadian) canadian as well. Fortunate enough to be born and raised in Montreal where there is a lot more diversity and acceptance (but don't be mistaken, racists still be out here wilding), I am truly sorry you've had to in your young age experience any of this. I'm so so grateful and proud of you for being so strong, speaking out, standing up for yourself and sharing your experiences. I hope that here on the internet you are able to connect with other black youths who share similar experiences and who can make you feel like you have a safe space and people you can relate to and truly connect with. Keep being great, you are young black excellence and we need you! Take care, Lia xox

This is so sad. I feel for you bro. You need a support system

The way we make multiculturalism work in Canada is by sticking to our own group and ignoring other people, or at most being coldly polite if we must interact with them. I live in a place where most people are Polish, Korean or Indian. We nod at each other if we come across, but we don't interact and we seldom know the name of any of the neighbours. It's the sort of system that works great if you're a loner and manage fine being on your own.

Just keep your head up young man God will see you through it best to your succeses in school....

As an American I learned about the underground railroad growing up and Canada. I know people from the West Indies have a connection to Canada. But this video has taught me more about Canada - I believe there is racism anywhere you go. However, I hate to admit I didn't know how bad the racism was in Canada. Well Americans are always told about how nice Canadians are - that's a bunch of "BS". 😬🤔.

Your hair is beautiful!!!!!

Your a very handsome, strong boy, and I hope one day when I have a son he grows as strong and aware like you are. You're very brave for this, and I hope you see the light at the end of the tunnel my friend.❤

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Please don't let IGNORANT people change your obviously positive,out going personally. You are not alone ,keep you spirits up my brother.

So Canada is no better than the U.S?

I am also Jamaican and live in Canada. Canada is a great place but we have to remind our self that every country has this racial problem no matter what race you are. I have been bullied and experienced the same thing as u. I know how it feels trust me. I just think that we all need to wake up and realize we are all humans, we have the same insides as other races. We are all different in our own ways. We need to let go of the past and begin building our future we can change the imagine that racist people are setting. We need to realize that no matter where you come from or what you look like you are just as capable and even better than racist people.

Dude, I really was enlightened by your video. I really wasn’t aware of the intensity of racism there can be in Canada especially against black people. I grew up in the 80s in Vancouver as a white person so I have a Unique perspective And now that I think of it, there was a lot of racism even back then against lots of Minority groups. To take this issue further, why don’t you ask friends family and possibly strangers for their Responses to your video. It would be really interesting to see that. Keep on being you!

Wow! Great video! Tbh if theyre not willing to have your back, they're not really your friends... Unfortunately racism is everywhere but its great youre not changing the way you view yourself to conform to the way others view u. Like he said he loves his hair even when people were calling it ugly and he said "I am NOT A THUG" even when others said u were. Even when the people asked if you play basketball "NO I DONT" Its also great that you are aware of black history and that youre willing to stand up for yourself. Btw that afro was 👌

Those bystander friends ...are not your friends ...keep your head up, elevate yourself to the highest potential ...let them hate

As a Canadian I was never taught to be a racist I just don't get it, I am a Christian and I am glad for it, I never taught my Children or my Grand kids this, This is not the voice of any Canadian I know..I grew up around the Algoma, Algonquin and the Sioux nations. As for Black people, I have many friends who are Black, but I don't recognize color like you do. As I told my Children many times we are not Yanks. We don't act like yanks, we are Canadians. This moment in Canada, there are new people in our Country and some wish to do us harm..

First of all, what an a m a z i n g afro of yours, I fell in love with it. Second of all, I am thinking about moving to Canada and got a bit worried about the little number of black people in there, but I swear to you that 85% of what you described I have also gone through here in Brazil, although we are 52% of the population. It's absolutely ridiculous that we have to go through that, but I am very admired by how articulated you are about all this (and at such young age!) and how you responded and identified those situations. I took a long time to actually understand that what was being done to me was actually racism and that it was not ok. I wish I could give you a hug and say take good care of yourself. Put yourself first and stand up for yourself and for our people. Those who laugh or do not take your side, they should not have the gift of your friendship, seriously. Surround yourself with good uplifting people who honestly care about you and stand up for you as well, you desearve nothing but goodness. And if our surroundings do not offer us that freely I guess my way out was creating a safe space for myself. We are lovely and desearve to be treated as human beings, with respect. That's the minimum. Well I just liked to say overall that I really liked your video and respect your courage to stand up and talk about your story, I hope you keep doing more videos and that we can get to know you better! Just subscribed :)

I hope you get out of this shitty town, you are so smart and so well spoken, you are better than any of those idiots and will rise above each and everyone of them. Keep your head up.

This is insane. Im very thankful to you for sharing this. Im from Illinois USA and I grew up with similar treatment from white people in my area, but never to this extent. It really sounds like the Alabama or Georgia in the 1950's up there. I wanted to move to Vancouver but the demographics are similar. Thanks for putting us on game. I have the upmost for you.

Damn...I'm Jamaican and I want to move to Canada after university but now I'm hesitant! I think they're mostly ignorant because slavery wasn't in Canada for so long like the US and the rest of the World and about less than a million black people are in Canada so some have never even seen a black and are curious.Also,some of the stuff you find racist a Jamaican born person wouldn't find insulting because our culture is made of mocking each other but its out of pure love NB: If they tell you to go back to Africa tell them to go back to Europe or whichever country their ancestors are from.Africa would accept us in open arms but Europe/wherever wouldn't take them in fact they would say go back to Canada!

My nephew's go to school in downtown Toronto and they're facing the same issues. It's really messed up. When I moved to the states black kids used to tease me all the time and funny enough white teachers actually defended me. It's only when I moved to Ghana that I felt a sense of self worth. Stay strong and when you're old enough leave that place because as much as you can try and deal with it there's always the chance that they'll take it physical.

I feel black people need to respect each other more and have pride more so that way they can stand strong against racism.

Stay strong my friend! Don't let them get to you!

Boy! I can't imagine what this kid has gone through all his life. He is a tough boy. Now, I wonder why some parents would torture a kid this way by making him grow up in an all white environment. I just don't get it. Of course he would experience racism because racism is white culture. I believe black people should raise their kids in more diverse environments like in Toronto or bigger cities. Experiences like these could damage a child mentally and emotionally. My young friend, don't be apologetic for being black. And there is nothing wrong in being African. Being African is not an insult; it is just another continent where black people are. Stay focussed, finish school and go to college in a diverse city, not an all white town. You'll look back one day and be proud of yourself. Cheers buddy

Young STRONG king, keep your head up!!! Proud of you and praying for you!!! 🙏🏾

Start working out man and get bigger.

Walk pass someone's car you can hear them locking up the car, walking pass a family with kid the parents will act like you are a strange dog. Tryna buy something from the store security guard will follow around etc...People actually don't know what black people go through every day in Canada. I live in Toronto out here racism is like a reflex...

ARGGH I'm so sorry you experience this crap so much. I wonder if you're in Winnipeg. When you get older, you could consider coming to Montreal. The black community is quite big here and while there is still racism, I don't think many could get away with using the n-word without some serious backlash.

Young man i'm extremely proud of you for being a STRONG BLACK MAN....not boy,but BLACK MAN!!! I live in Washington D.C in the US,and to see your strength is beyond belief as a American black man. You my not know it now but the universe is preparing you for a purpose that only you can be given. The universe is like a video game some avatars are by nature stronger because of the levels of experience they endure. But just like most video games some characters have been given "Cheat Codes"in life, i.e their Race and Skin Complexion" Trust me your life experience now will mold you into a INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEING THAT ALL PEOPLE WILL LOOK UP TOO!!!! GOD BLESS AND MASTER THE GAME SON!!!!! MUCH LOVE HD

I agree, that is NOT OK. I'm white but (found out as an adult) that I have Autism. I was chronically bullied, too. Stand Tall. Be Proud. My Native American, Asian and Latino friends say the racism is still there as an adult. And, like you said, it depends where you go in Canada. I'm in Saskatchewan. Find your place, be you and be proud of yourself. I genuinely hope our country makes strides to be better.

I would never call someone the n word.just because your a different color you should still be treated the same.were all pink in the inside😊😉

Real friends stick up for you btw, I'd choose better friends if I were you, sorry if that sounds a bit ignorant, but much love

i feel you, i am also a young nigga in Canada, it can be tough to live here where everyone is either white or asian

Omg.. Im heartbroken that you are experiencing this :( Its a shame...I've experienced similar things growing up but I want you to know something. People will only push you as far as you let them. When I was insecure, I was mistreated...I allowed it. Now, people think twice before they say something stupid. Learn to draw those boundaries. Don't laugh at their jokes, you'll encourage bad behaviour. Just know that the population of black people is increasing and with that comes gradual change. More black people as police officers, teachers, managers etc. My advice to you is to move from your current city when you're old enough. In the mean time, learn to draw boundaries :) You are a handsome man. Life does get better when you're older :) Thank you for posting this video

I moving to canada tomorrow morning😰moving from jamaica also

You should record these interactions (in secret obviously) and post them.

I'm *Black* and brazilian.. I want to move to Canada, but now I'm hesitant! :/ I've heard sooo many good things about Canada, such a nice place, lovely people and that kinda stuff... But, about a month now, I've seen soo many horrible things as well... And your video almost made me cry man! I don't know you, but we are brothers, you know.... Don't give up man! I hope you have the chance to meet Brazil someday, here you will not be disrespected because of your color or nationality, that's fo' sho! (Sorry if I spell something wrong, I'm learning english)

Sorry you're experiencing this, dude. But you seem to have a very good head on your shoulders, and you are reacting with a lot of maturity. What you're experiencing is inexcusable. Move to Toronto when you're out of high school - I think it will be better for you.

Where in Canada are you?

Dang dude, I had no idea.

you keep your head up young man. you are very intelligent and use your youtube channel as your outlet. you are amazing and your intelligence can help kill the ignorance of others. continue to stand up for yourself in a positive manner!!

You are BEAUTIFUL You are Brave You are Devinely made Thank you sharing your experience and opening up this dialogue Keep shining YOU ARE A STAR NEVER LET ANYONE DIM YOUR LIGHT JAH'S BLESSINGS Pon you.

What part of canada? U are soo cute, and love ur hair!

Get you some new friends ‼️ And Don’t stop defending yourself... first of all you need to learn how to fight... they lucky I’m not at that school... I would Run it‼️

This happens a lot in America . people will tell you you look like whatever celebrity or athlete is popping. people are shocked about your beautiful black melanin bc it's like the wonders of OZ . Stay strong black man most! I highly recommend you ask your family to move you to at least a more black school. what I can say about blacks who go through that in America like myself is that once we graduate we go to Black colleges and black universities . but I know for a fact that if it was were me I would definitely not be so passive it's pretty aggressive racism that you are going through.. it could and will get worse and you need to figure out a way to protect yourself maybe martial arts , kung fu. stay strong bc trust me once you start traveling and all the girls want you black white all over the world. then you will start to see why you and your melanin is so great!!

I'm Korean. Do you know how "stunning and beautiful you are.!!. Don't make yourself to down.

I love the ending. This is the basis of racism for white people. It boils down to the amount of melanin someone has. A genetic switch that is turned on or off (how a scientist explained it). You have no control over that genetic switch and white people act like you chose to be darker skin. No, it's not my choice but I love my dark complexion the same one white people try so hard to get in the summer. I wouldn't change my skin tone for anything and if I had to choose I would choose to be darker skin. I love melanin!!!!

My experience: I see that this racism has affected you, right, but tbh whenever anyone had been racist to me because I am half, I made a joke out of it. And every time that person brought it up after that just looked either outright offensive, or plain stupid. being sarcastic about it works even better. Those "friends" aren't really your friends. If they were they would protect you.

Oh crap. I'm an American of Jamaican descent, and I wanted to move to Canada so badly. Based off of this video, I am having second thoughts. I still want to come, but I suppose that I have to be very skeptical of the area in which I arrive. It is so awful that you experienced such rude treatment.

Honestly I’ve experienced this in both school as a kid and now I’m 25. Honestly I hope you have been doing better since this post. But keep you head up bro. These experiences will make u stronger. You look the way you do because your greatness period. Life applied pressures to those so they can become diamonds. No one else can take these things and survive them these cards were made for u. You’ll look back on life and appreciate the person you become and how this shaped you. #King 💪🏾

You should move. I mean, holy shit I'm like one of the few black guys in this white town and everyone's pretty friendly (I'm in New York state). The public is usually more friendly than school kids.

Same problem in Europe....

I heard that Canadians are very polite people and not racist . Guess I was wrong !

Very informative video. Keep educating yourself with knowledge and Stay strong young brother!

be proud of your beautiful brown skin brother. I have experienced racism also

where in Canada. .Because I'm in Ontario and we don't hate we show love...💕

Brother, stay up, stay positive. When I was little our family were also one of the pioneer. We had to teach Canadians about black people, about our culture. Start educating the teacher about what it is to be black, I know its tough, but once they realize what you going through, some of them will help you...

I experience with racism myself in a rural Ontario suburbs mostly in both middle and high school (I'm black btw). And all I can say is that I don't know how I will able to survive living in other provinces in Canada if the majority of whites won't accept other minorities who were born here or are migrating to come to Canada. People are saying Canada is not racist and are very welcoming to all races don't see the bigger picture. 😞 *Edit: I'm going to share this video to anyone who is planning to move into a rural area in any province here in Canada, to know that "racism" does exist in today's world, and that we should not turn a blind eye!!

What part of Canada you live in bud? Well as an Asian i have experienced alot of name calling when was in elementary here in Vancouver, then a crew of us stuck together and when we hit high school we made a stand and actually got back at every single bully, tracked em down every high school they gone to and caught up to em for fades. Now in Vancouver we known as crazy nammers and no more name calling, but i have friends from all culture and race. The racists came from all background as well that I dealt with. So i think its more just certain individuals insecurities more than an actual race that's racists. Not saying you should get violent like me and my bros did, is cus we didnt have a choice growing up in the 90s things were more ignorant n tougher. What i mean is there gona be racist in all backgrounds and friends from all back grounds so just stick to those u have same goals with, need a crew noone can survive on they own and be loyal to each other always stronger that way, and make a stand it will stop once u have crew together. You will figure out who is real to u n not quickly and seperate yourselves, then just live ur life as a stand up person, when in the right fight to the end its worth it. Peace.

Prince which part of Canada you live?

I'm so sorry to hear you've had to go through all of that. I hope things change and/or you can find a place where you are accepted. Though not for the same reasons, I was bullied and ostracized as a kid too, but now that I'm an adult & living in a much bigger city where everything is great. It's possible, so please keep looking forward. :)

Prince Bince, I'm glad you're taking it so well, don't become hate motivated, you just have to educate people, you're gonna do well in life.

Come to Quebec I never saw a black kid getting bullied!

Having lived in US and Canada. Here is the difference between the two places from an educated, middle class colored person's perspective. In US (I have lived in CA and NY so can't speak for other places) the number of racist people is very small maybe 5% but bcoz it is more violent society with gun culture and bad neighborhoods, if you are at the wrong place and wrong time ppl will call you names, they will abuse you, it can even be violent and life threatening. But those kind of activities also make it to the news and cops and America is therefore more infamous so American racism is noticed more and there is more public discussion on it. As a proportion of population Canadians are way more racist maybe 70% (based on my experience and those around me) and it is everywhere but they cloak it very well. More importantly all of their racism is executed in a way that is legally acceptable and not criminal (they have even invented a new term for it in Canada. Because "Canadians are not racist like Americans" what they do is systemic discrimination. So just suck it up and take it. They pretend it doesn't exist. There is no public discussion. If you do bring up the topic they will give you a cold dirty stare and ignore or tell you why don't you go back where you came from (or to your shithole) (notwithstanding many ppl of color were born here) 1. Good things first. bcoz Canada doesn't have gun culture or much violence there is very little likelihood of being shot for "wrong place wrong time scenario" but that holds true for all crimes not just race based but thats where the good thins pretty much end. 2. In Canada generally the racism is not directed as a "black-white" phenomenon but "we are British we are superior" phenomenon. Most Canadians have never grown over the colonial hangover. They still believe and say it in so many ways that they are a superior culture (although whatever little economy Canada has runs on American jobs, rich immigrants from China and India and native resources so I don't understand why they are so pro UK a country that treated their own French Canadians and natives very badly). Local economy is almost non existent except for public sector gravy train that employs "real Canadians". Anyways coming to the race issue. The net effect on the colored person is still the same. the worst sufferers are the natives who have 30% suicide rate and live in tents in sub zero temperatures in Ontario's north (while all the money generated from selling native resources" is consumed by the "socialist" government in Ontario). 3. In US if you can avoid some neighborhoods during certain hours you will not even see the racists. In Canada they are everywhere. When walking on road expect cold rude dirty stare or total ignore if you are colored (while it is easy to strike a conversation or exchange smile with Americans, Canadians are proudly British and therefore much more cold and rude to people of color). If you are a tourist/ white person they will be nice though. So generally to understand subtleties of Canadian racism you have to be here for a few months to realize the different treatment. 4. Be careful about little things like the bar you choose or the places you go to. While it is easy to find a lot of places run by different ethnicities in Toronto, the "exclusive" ones are particularly discriminating to colored ppl. Expect different behavior based on skin color and pretend. Pretension is the most important Canadian attribute. There are a couple places in Yorkville and near Air Canada center that will try "dress code" "shoes" or "its a private party" excuse to not let you in although they will never tell you to your face that you can't get in bcoz of your skin color. 5. In US if you have it in you you can become the CEO of Microsoft and Google without any fuss. In Canada racism is VERY RAMPANT in employment situations. To be fair to Canadians, Canada hardly has any economy. There are all of 6 banks, 3-4 telecom companies, Bombardier, SNC Lavlin, 4-5 big retailers and thats that. Canada takes 400000 immigrants a year. That means more than 1000 a day. In addition it takes 300000 students, 100000 temporary professionals and has a 36 million domestic population growing at 1 %. All this means it should generate around 3000 jobs a day. Canada doesn't even generate a 100th of that number. Hence the competition for whatever little service positions are there is fierce. Almost always if you are not white Canadian you will never make it to the position of a director or above. In most cases you will end up being security guard, driver or one of the smaller vocations. 6. Because Canada is a socialist state and has an aging population and birth rate is 1% they need young taxpayers to pay for all the socialism. Also Canadian economy is hardly growing (1-2% for last 8-9 years). Much of this growth comes from immigrants coming in with their life's savings and buying houses, durables etc. Immigrants also are a big customer base for hotel, tourism etc. Immigrants are also big reason for Canada's BIG PUBLIC SECTOR unions to keep asking for tax payer money (as more immigrants mean more language services, more childcare, more schools etc). So here is the strategy Canada has adapted. There is a big immigration industry consisting of real estate, bankers, hotels, unions and other interest groups that make tall claims about how Canada is the best place to live etc. Canadian politicians make trip of other countries every few months telling false stories and inviting rich young people to Canada. Once you are here, given the weather you will have to spend your life's savings very quickly to get a house, durables etc. Your money will then be used to run their economy and pay their taxes to run their socialist state. If you don't like it (70% of the skilled immigrants go back)you go back (Canada is a net gainer as your money has already been used)and they take in more. 6. Almost everyone who will tell you Canada is not racist will be a white Canadian, colored person who has never lived outside Canada and hence has no way to compare, refugees. Just get the white man out the door build a little trust and every colored person will burst open like a dam.

where exactly do you live in canada?, because never have i ever received any hatred for being black. Proud JAMAICAN CANADIAN.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE PAIN THAT YOU FEEL BECAUSE OF THSE FOOLISH PEOPLE. PLEASE, YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL PERSON. HOLD ON FOR ONE MORE DAY AND THEN MORE. YOU ADD VALUE TO THIS WORLD

first you say "your not African" but then you say you're Jamaican. Jamaicans are descended from Africa, they have either fully or mostly African blood. So you are African! I find it amusing when a black person says there not African. it's the worst place in the world for many people sadly. but denying your roots when you clearly are that, is quite embarrassing!

I used to get teased all the time. Then I learned two things. The first thing was, that people who hate others really don't like themselves. People may direct their negative comments at us, but it really reflects how they felt about themselves. The second thing was that the more insecure I felt, the more intensely I felt the harrassment. There is a saying: "Hurt people, hurt people" (unknown author). This is so true. When you feel good about yourself and are filled with love and kindness, you dont need to spend your time trying to make others feel bad. In fact, you want everyone to feel as good as you. Those people who called you names and pulled your hair were/are jealous of you. Besides the fact that you have a beautiful head of hair, they saw/see something in you. Instead of appreciating your fine qualities, they seek to destroy them. But they can only do that if you let them. In the final analysis, its not really about the hair or the way we look. Its about learning to accept ourselves and others as we are. We all have the right to be treated with dignity and kindness. That is our right as human beings. Do you understand what I'm saying? It is our right as a human to be treated with kindness and respect. If others do not share that belief and treat us abusively, it reflects on them, not on us. Ross Rosenberg says on his youtube channel to: "Observe don't absorb!" Which means to look at what they do or say, but don't take it into our heart. Don't be like a sponge, don't absorb all their negative energy. If we develop self esteem, their insults will no longer hurt us. Even if they call us the N word, we wont be affected negatively, because we appreciate our african heritage. They can't take away our pride and our dignity unless we let them. They just make themselves look bad!

This is really saddening. The people you spoke of they're not really your friends. You're super brave and smart. Stay strong. You're not alone even though it feels like it sometimes❤

you are well spoken and know how to present yourself, keep talking your voice is going to take you places. 🌱

Keep your head up youth, you’re bright and you’re gonna go places that deserve you

I’m beyond fascinated with how intelligent and amazing you are I’m sorry you had to experience ignorant racists. Look at you now! If nobody today has told you I’m proud of how much you have accomplished for yourself to be a young God! Ase love

im so sorry that you've experienced this horrific racism :( everyone likes to think that racism is non existent in canada but in reality canada has a horrible racism problem. im sending well wishes to u and i hope ur account can become successful!

I love how intelligent and articulate you are, deep down some of those people are probably just jealous

You are inspirational, these experiences seem to have made you tougher. Most would have crumbled if they were treated this way, but you fought back and still love your beautiful features.

I live in California so it's super diverse. Thing is racism is more so a global thing sadly. It's tiring tbh... and you were so young and self aware in thus videos ! Your intelligence and self awareness is amazing

BLESS YOU...BE ENCOURAGED...NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER...TELL YOUR PARENTS...BE CAREFUL...PEACE

This really hurt to watch... it reminded me of all the times I was bullied... I live in the middle east and sad to say that racism exists here against black people too, I was bullied a lot at school and was traumatized by it.... No actually what really blew my mind was that there is racism in AFRICA too, lighter skin Africans are racist to darker skin Africans.... Racism is literally everywhere in this world, it never ends... You just gotta be stronger to face it... I hope you're doing well dear.

You are soo sweet and cute! I am older than you and struggle with racism as well here in Canada. It is so blatant. But you seem so brave. Please don't let it affect you. Continue being proud of who you are and your culture. I am rooting for you and continue being sweet!

We love you! Embrace who you are and even though it’s hard to ignore it, keep living because you are amazing and the world luckily is bigger than Canada

i hate this so much... How can the world be so cruel. I was so exited to move to Canada within the next few months with my sister for better education and for my family in general. I wanted to move to the city of London, Ontario very close in fact to where you live. Right now all my hopes and dreams of going to the place where I longed for so long to go are crushed to pieces. I do realize racism is all over the world but I sincerely thought Canada wouldn't be the worst. I am not black certainly I am mixed but what matters living in a place just for education where constant hatred is displayed all over me my family and others? I couldnt bear to watch that. Thank you for the video, I really opened my eyes and I hope the best for you!
