Accelerationist Yes for them I’m sure it is, and considering how they are the minorities of this world they should enjoy themselves while they can, as judging by their appalling birth rate and tendency to be bred out immediately if a genetically stronger person like the beautiful woman in this video should birth a child with them, they will probably not exist in the next 300 years or so. We should all appreciate such rare beauty! 💪

I honestly have so much love for this woman. I'm 20 yo black girl, aspiring screenwriter and producer and I'm a first generation french, born from african parents and I had literally the same, experience/relathionship with christian religion. Seeing her succeeding, creating funny, smart and original content and being so classy and articulate, it just literally fill my heart with hope, joy and pride. When she say confidently, unapologetically «I'm a writer», «I'm a poet»...it just move me and inspire me in a way, nothing else could. Watching Chewing Gum on netflix, helped me broaden my mind on what content as a black woman I could create. Above all it helped me to understand that we do as black people have space in this industry to grow and be our entire, complex self.

It's not about religion it's about relationships with the father which comes through by JESUS Christ (The Only way) who died in our place when we really deserved death he reconciled us back to the father... We must be led by the spirit not our heart (that is what God searches,the heart.)Jeremiah 17:9-10 The heart is deceitful above all things and Beyond cure.Who can understand it? I The Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct,according to what his deeds deserve..

@@TheVandalboys Brother, the statement "Christianity was forced on them" is simply a false narrative. Unfortunately, it is an "untruth" that is now become very prevalent in our communities. In reality, the vast majority of what we have today in terms of "Christian Doctrine" was meticulously developed and passed down by many early church fathers who happened to be of African origin (despite popular propaganda pushed against Christianity). (Please research a few of the following early church fathers for yourself: St. Augustine, Athanasius, Origen, Tertullian, etc.). If you are willing to invest the time to conduct an honest and genuine assessment of those individuals, you will clearly see that Christianity thrived for many centuries prior to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade of the 15th century.

I'm an American so the first time I saw her in anything was Black Earth Rising on Netflix. When I saw how unbelievablely gorgeous she was I just assumed she was a model who decided to try a new career as an actor. I had no idea she wasn't a model and didn't know she was a successful writer until this interview. She's so charismatic and genuine. She has that rare form of charisma that completely disarms people. Almost every successful politician has that same trait. It's a talent that can't be learned, either you have it or you don't. Most of the people who have it, and decide to go into politics aren't using it to better the world. They use it to feed their ego. So the people who would use that quality to benefit the world are totally turned off by politics because all they see is the exploitation of that same talent. I get that vibe from her.

God IS the first, the present and the very last and final authority over all of life. ... But there was no other God so nobody ever wanted to identify Him with a name until Mosses asked him what is His Name. Then God says "I AM that I AM, meaning I am the supreme being.

The issues of homosexuality was a great example of how some Christians skirt around issues. God loves the person and hate the sin. Its the same as fornication or adultery. There are no big or little sins. I pray she comes across the right Christian's who will show the love of Christ to all. I know I do and it took me a while to get that revelation personally.

Christianity is a relationship between one with God. If you do not agree with the church, and you decide to leave, you leave the church but not God. You still remain a Christian. No Christian is perfect, no Pastor is perfect, no Church is perfect, no individual is perfect, the world is not perfect. That is why we need God, to fill in the imperfections in our lives. I have not yet come across a perfect church, but I still go to church more so because I am aware of my imperfections and my weaknesses. Being a Christian is basically accepting that you are not perfect and you will never be perfect and God is the one who can wholly accept us as we are, but it does not mean we do not try to deal with our imperfections. We allow God to help us deal with them as we learn from the bible and others in church.

Which you shared that "you love not knowing" You said that you read the bible for the mystery and that is exactly what it is, a mystery!! You have a deep love for God, in the world that we live in we have to at times articulate our beliefs to the point where we are become empathetic and to the points that we make sense of our circumstances and the spaces that we are in. The golden rule of Christianity is love. Love covers a multitude of sins. Literally all we need to do is love, scarifically, until it hurts and even when it's not popular. To say the least ...

We allow you guys to develop echo chambers on the internet where your voices are the only voices on morality as if you own that market corner. So as a former christian, just to let anyone who needs to know, you can have a beautiful, moral, healthy, and yes deeply meaningful life without having to project the psychological contents of your ego on a deity named "god". Give it a go. Start taking responsibility for the contents of your psyche and start your journey toward becoming an intellectual adult today.

Michaela is such a remarkable individual, I could listen to her talk for days. Such a talent and inspiration, I’ve really been drawn to her work over the years and enjoy her so much. If only everyone on TV could be this eloquent!

I wanted to hit like so many times watching this. She communicates her thoughts so genuinely with an openness that's so refreshing. I'm already a fan of Chewing Gum but now I'm a fan of her thoughts. An inspiring person 💜💜💜

She has a very powerful message and it’s demonstrated in such a clear and concise manner. She’s beautiful not only on the inside but the outside too. She stands out because she genuinely cares for people’s well-being. She is someone you could listen to all day! Xx

>Calls me a slave >Literally has a spanish name I think this whole 'slave' thing is a massive projection on your part considering bantus were the most enslaved group of people in the history of the world. You gotta accuse others of what is true regarding your people, how did african americans arrive in america?, how did afro brazilians arrive in Brazil? Horn Africans were never enslaved and we look different from bantus because we always have been, it has nothing to do with arabs, and we have never been slaves at any point in the last 3000 years. I think this is why you are so bitter towards horn africans, but thats just my opinion.

Is it not possible to comment on what Michaela is saying without the ‘she is so intelligent, she is so beautiful’ comments. What is the constant surprise that black people are intelligent or beautiful. The young woman is talking of her passion for her work. Could people just listen please!

@KEVIN MAXIMthere's absolutely no sin in stating that she is a beautiful woman who sat down and did a 40 minute interview about her journey; her inspiration, her faith, her passion, her career and overall an insight to her experiences and how it has affected the way she portrays the world and how she feels with her characters. It might be over simplification, but for a 40 minute video about so much, its a little bit irking that a vast majority of the comments talk about her face. Why not about faith? Or their inspiration? Or about art? Poems? Thoughts on the movie industry? Sexuality?
