As a Canadian I'd just like to say, she's so wrong. Africans love Canada, and we love them. Now, African Americans, thats a tricky one. Its not about the colour of ur skin, its about attitudes. 90% of the time when dealing with African Americans, u can tell their waiting and looking for racism, get upset when they dont find it. The victim mentality is a real turn off. Again, go ask some Africans about life in Canada, i bet u get more positive than negative. The American black culture is the problem for most people, in most places, including America itself. The inability of this show and its host to act like theres no legitimate reasons why so many feel as they do about American black culture, just makes this an echo chamber. \nI have African friends in Africa, i have African friends here in Canada. \nBut because im white, it must be a lie.?\nTell me my African American friends, are any of u deceitful, hateful, arrogant, nasty, vengeful? Or, are y'all perfect?

This is where I am all for entrepreneurship black people we need to have our own jobs facilities but then again those people cannot leave us alone at all they don't know how to I continue to embrace entrepreneurship rather than working for someone who has a neck for racism ignorance let's all start looking towards entrepreneurship black people let's have our own idea and mine and creative ideas

Thank you for this video, please make more… expose these evil people, it’s so hard to maintain & live stable here especially with discrimination & racism, I’ve called multiple times, I don’t even have a “family doctor” it used to be so nice growing up in Ontario, however this is the worst place ever in my opinion.

Such a slap in the face to homeless people who were born, worked in, and lived in America all their life. Where is their “free ticket” to housing and resources? America makes it hard for their own; especially Blacks, to survive. Always some kind of impossible agreement they want you to agree with to obtain help. As a Black American, homeless and disabled; worked low wage jobs here in America over 30 years; was blocked from receiving my full lump sum disability because they knew it would have been enough to buy myself a home; Have been homeless over a year now and can’t agree to America’s rules for fair housing because their rules aren’t fair for Black Americans altogether. America have set Blacks against Blacks; put them in positions to turn other Blacks away from houses and resources; but all they care about is their job. They know their job requires the impossible for many Blacks to agree to, but they easily and intentionally overlook it. How can I agree to volunteer or work if I’m disabled? I applied for disability because I can no longer work. And…It took forever for me to get that. My long, steady work history will prove that I’m not lazy which is used as their excuse for not helping Blacks. America will bend over backwards to help foreigners while we sleep on the streets. That’s the reason why they went out on a limb to employ people from different countries. They called it diversity when they clearly knew it was racism. They had rather employed foreigners to keep Blacks from progressing. America is reaping its seeds right now. Say good bye to America because it’s about to become a new foreign country to all Americans. You reap the seeds you sow. You must be fair to your own first, but you disclaim your own. ❤ And by the way;…..Reparations to Black Americans may be a good start in the eyesight of God who have watched how you treated us for so very long. Nobody in America should be homeless regardless. When God says enough; wickedness and injustices must stop. Not tomorrow but right now! In the name of Jesus; Blacks shall receive reparations so they may live safe and peaceful lives in measures of ours and our ancestors works. Father I pray a special blessing for these people that’s crossing over. Only you know their situation as you know ours. All we want to do is to live in peace on Earth as you intended for all. Amen. ❤

I am a black south african and live In Edmonton Alberta since 2010 I worked hard and built a life for my self and my family I have never gone through any racism in Edmonton Alberta Canada I have white black and native American friends if anyone should be complaining about racism in Canada it's the native American people let's not talk about how us as black people treat eachother that comes from different African countries we have no love for one another

It doesn't matter where you go in the world your going to encounter racism and discrimination. Not everyone is the same how we deal with it but it's a free world and people shouldn't be telling others on the Internet not to go places because of it and cause isolation for themselves. Others will discriminate and show racism against you because they fear you.

To me that is a hostel country trying to invade the USA, and should be treated as such. I would have gave the order to shoot. There Is a way to enter a country properly. At the point of entry and it is a peaceful and legal way in course to enter a country. But to have thousands trying to bull rush the boarder with violence with no control of the people coming in.on top of that we would have no idea who is coming in our country. It not Racism if you want to know who's coming I. Your house. You want to know for safely and to protect others. You possibly can not convince me that everyone of those people are upright law obiding people. There is no way. So if you siding against me on this video. Then you must do this to prove your no a hypocrite and go hire a child molester to babysit your kids. If you don't have any kids then hire a fellon convicted of armed Robbery to house sit

When she say Black people, NOW, they don't mean BLACK AMERICANS!!! They talking about those Africans and people from the islands!! I hate when these people use BLACK PEOPLE when they use to get offended when we called them black but NOW they are black!! They don't use the term black where they are from and this woman is not a BLACK AMERICAN!!! Watch the hijack!! Now they trying to join in with us ,now that they know how real racism is but its too late NOW!!! We don't care what happens to you and I'm glad you are getting the racism!! Maybe NOW you will know that you are no better than us BLACK AMERICANS!! YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!! Deal with it and stop complaining???✊?✊?????

Expect me to come there I'm not now coming to africa that's good for me i will go there one day and this bw she is right they're sneaky with their racism and everything else i don't putted nothing pass them demons both he and she but europeans countries are ws i ain't going to either one of them ain't my people hell no i don't trust them like that ?????????? and finally i probably want I'm the man of my word always.

KNOW THEM BY THE FRUIT THE BARE. NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE, BUT MOST ARE EVIL. THOSE THAT ARE AGAINST RACISM AND HATE HAVE TO HIDE. THAT EVIL WILL KILL THEM TOO.

There is increased systemic racism against black people around the world these days, especially in Europe. You have to look deeper to understand what is going on because on the surface everything sometimes seems okay.

I worked for a Canadian company called Earls and all of the people who trained us were from Canada. I'm from the north east and have delt with racism all my life but these people were on a new level of racism.

Ask yourselves why you think theirs racism everywhere , try taking some responsibility ,with your violent criminal behavoire attitutude ,hate towards white people,distructive, disfunctional listening to rap and drill music , otherwise nothing will change

But they would live in black countries happily and receive no form of racism. Evil people

LOL at her thinking she’s making a groundbreaking discovery. Young people are dumb as hell, I tell you. Stop seeking white people’s approval, quit whining and align yourself with people making power moves. Your mindset is what is holding you back - racism is worldwide, not sure what point you are trying to make. \n\nP.S before you come for me I’m black and live and thrive in Edmonton.

They are being let in to displace the people already at the bottom and many bring there anti black racism with them, Some of these people have thousands of dollars to pay to get here from there country

It’s funny how you always have a group of Black people that just work hard,take care of their families and live peaceful lives. On the other hand you always have that loud group of blacks that’s always complaining about racism and not being consistent.??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

Racism succeeds because, they practice it TOGETHER, in UNITY, without shame, fear or care. As long as we keep accepting it, there will be no end.\nNot that long ago, we acknowledged one another in public, had each other's back(without verbal communication) and gravitated to where ever black people convened.\nToday, we avoid eye contact with one another. We frown at one another(some women are notorious for this), we avoid one another and will get into a fight with one another faster than with a non community member.\nDespite all I have written above, I have come across some genuinely loving community members.\nLet us be GOOD to one another. Things will change for the better.

Man you could discard so many people by this video with false information travel And see it for yourself I’m not saying there’s no racism in Canada I’m not saying there’s no racism anywhere in this world it’s everywhere that Canada is amazing country it really is

Its a pity in this 21st century still experiencing racism? Why is it the most civilised people lives like uncivilised? I am so disappointed I thought America and Canada should have lived a free - racism society than any other countries across the globe because black people has made America to be where it is today, it is very ironic we black people in Africa we live in harmony with every race you can mentioned it whether Indians, Chinese, white people, etc and nobody complains that they are being discriminated here simply because of the colour of their skin. we simply dont care as long as you are a human being.

Wherever white people are the majority, please be prepared for racism to be norm.

Blah blah blah racism here racism there racism everywhere. Oh no white people dont like us. We dont like ourselves we keep doing the same stuff expecting different results.

Wtf, why do you people of color think because you to another country doesn't mean racism isn't there. Thank Amerikkka for it. We are not liked anywhere in the world. I accepted it,and really don't care. You cross that line you shall pay.??????

Why don't they start a Anti-Racism/ Discrimination thing in Canada for Black people??? Start - up a Union in Canada.......

It's nonsense to think there's no where for black people to go for holiday. I've been to European countries and racism is alive and well. So i see no reason to go to these places when there's so much to see in the African continent. I've visited West Africa, South Africa and recently, East Africa and all are beautiful. I promise.

Honestly sometimes I think as black people we are to blame. We are always complaining, we all know that the only way we can counter racism is by economic emancipation for all black people, how do we do that? Well we need to recognise and support black owned businesses, we need to be well educated and relentless in pursuing financial and mentality freedom. Let us stop complaining and invest in our selves, just then can we command the respect we deserve, in the absence of all the above, we should not complain. \n\nP.S: Let us learn from the Chinese, from being ridiculed to becoming the most important players in the global economics of the world

Wow terrorist there, too? I thought once all those dead Indians children Graves were found, the people there were done with racism ? may the Lord of the cosmos help us all ?

I would never visit Europe, Canada, South America, or Asia because of anti-black racism. The only places I would visit are the African continent, Haiti, Jamaica and Barbados. I keep telling myself and others not to visit European and Asian countries because they don't like black people. And yes it's their culture: anti-black racism. I would never go where I'm not welcome or wanted.

Damn I’ve been to Toronto a few times and overall the white people seemed pretty friendly and laid back over there. Same with white Canadians I’ve met in the US and other countries. I guess their racism reputation isn’t as bad as the US.

WOULD you recommend a country where BLACK people can LIVE without dealing with RACISM. I was born in Trinidad, and I have LIVED in Canada since 1968. With ALL of your WISDOM, please TELL me where I can GO to avoid RACISM. Every country has problems, YOU must MAKE your own CHOICE. YOU are either STRONG or YOU are WEAK. If YOU have GOALS and DREAMS, then YOU must go and fulfill them wherever the road takes YOU.

We need a code to verify and identify the level of racism in these countries so that we can gauge how bad the racism in that particular area. This key can be used to help people organize themselves accordingly.

You guys are just coming here to Canada to see what you can use to advance your life so you're full of complaints. You have no care, loyalty or roots here. You're not entitled to be accommodated spoiled bratty people. \n\nImmigrants come here use up the resources and at the same time don't care about the community and bettering it which creates worsening conditions. None of you will fight for better public transportation... because you're not really going to live here, its not really your country.\n\nAs far as Quebec is concerned the Federal government stays silent out of fear of Quebec separating not silent racism. How arrogant that you think you know what's really going on girl.

I AM FROM CALGARY ALBERTA AND THE PEOPLE HERE ARE VERY NICE NOW WITH THAT BEING SAID YOU WILL FIND RACISM BUT THEY ARE THE MINORITY HERE IN CALGARY NOW I LIVED IN MONTREAL AND THERE WAS DEFINITELY MORE RACISM THERE ESPECIALLY WITH THE FRENCH SPEAKING

As long as most of us have jobs, we would not think racism exists? Unfortunately it's when our personal material comfort is affected that most of highlight issue of racism, it's something we should be aware of irrespective of our personal material comfort, explains why some people get a shock amongst these people anywhere in the world

What else is new? There's racism against Black people all over this world. So what she is saying is nothing new.

There are 196 countries on earth and as someone who has studied Art History and Anthropology I plan on visiting all of them. Why? Because there are too many videos of black people all over the world who have been either born in those countries or are expats and moved there and they show how happy they are and how life abroad is better than America. Also, I have noticed that both SYSBM/Passport Bros and Black Women Divestors have been getting alot of pushback discouragement from traveling or moving overseas. I think I know why. See, if the majority of black people (men and women) were to leave the U.S. in more than 50% that means that they would be taking their $1.24 Trillion dollar buying spending power with them along with their tax dollars and despite the racism here in America the elites want to keep us here for monetary reasons. I truly believe that their is a hidden agenda to keep blacks stuck here in America by any means necessary and I don't buy it.

In Edmonton Alberta cause it mostly white people up there black people fight to get through \nI live up there for 5 years \nI have to move back to Toronto ,Ontario \nWhere there most definitely black people here\nI have face racism in Edmonton alberta

As a black person who grew up in Canada yes you experienced racism but I also have rules hang out with my own kind and I don't befriend white people whoever gives respect gets my respect and when I experienced racism I give them the same energy right back sometimes you got to be aggressive and demand your respect sucks but it's a reality keep your foot on their necks

To the people in the comment section PLEASE read my statement Canada has mass racism. There is a massive Native American population here and they BOTH hate each other, Canadians actively encourage each other to hate Natives and the tension gets worse the more north Canada you go. DO NOT BE FOOLED CANADA WAS BUILT ON RACISM

Damn! Canada that’s crazy. U would’ve thought living up there it’d be better for Black people seeing that most Blacks escaped slavery and migrated there during Jim Crow to live up there because the racism there wasn’t harsh like it is here in the US. But guess it’s not. Guess Canada’s racism is just as worst as America

Women of color are finding out the hard way that the only way we can survive as a people us to stick together \nThey swear they can get degrees and be accepted into the white world and racism is over and they’ll get a zaddy a brad or Chad and live happily ever after ???

Uk , canada , england , australia, france , denmark, thy sneaky...????atleast america thy tell u straight... most dangerous racism is a sneaky 1 das why people go missing and never heard of....

ok.. wtf any sort of racism has to do with not having no non English people in a company?

As a native and citizen of America I do agree our government is all over the place. One minute they’re talking about human rights and the next appointing democracy around the world. We do have our issue’s as a nation. For example, poverty, racism, and other human rights violations that have occurred. I say all that to say this, I love my country, it’s people, the many cultures, and importantly our military. Foreigners talk so much smack about Americans, but when s*** hit the fan who they call and run to? USA… We may be separated and divided in some instances, however, we are the S*** and WILL F*** up SOME S***!!!❤ Ijs

I am born raised and educated here in Canada. Islam is not a race are you aware of that. So I am not sure why you included.islam in silent racism. A liberal country. Are you sure. Its liberal east and Conservative east. I can tell you live in Toronto(the center of the Universe). Royal bank, did you know people born here were losing there jobs and replaced them with immigrants . Did you know there is a separatist movement in the west. This is the 3 rd and final video o will watch. Get your facts straight. Multicultural policy was brought in by Pierre Elliott Trudeau and is Marxist . Justin Trudeau is a Marxist\n You need to get your facts straight.

Well I am dead against racism & and I don't treat people different by race but I'm white & I have seen more racism against whites obviously I don't see the other races descrimintion because I'm against It but I think it's disgusting

Im from south east asia and am planning to migrate but i cant decide to move to canada or australia. My friends keep discouraging me because of racism and that i will have difficult to find a job because im small (4 11). How bad is racism for people of color in canada?

We have plenty of room to build new cities. What’s the problem? The problem is racism. Hand full of people playing god. Welcome to America.

We are all God's children. If we lived in a third world country, many of us would want to go to a better life. All I will say is; when you come and if you come, please leave your racism and prejudice against those who are here at the border. Last thing we need is to import prejudiced and racist people.

Please, please, please don’t let them through. It’s not about race and racism. It’s about our country facing the saturation of homelessness, because of the saturation of drugs, lack of self respect, and respect for human life, plus insatiable greed. WE THE PEOPLE do not want their problems too.\n\nWe have to work on our country and its people first before we look elsewhere and before we can help others, we must help ourselves.
