It’s horrific how these ppl are forced to live, that is NOT life..reading the comments, it’s disheartening to see. Put yourselves in their shoes! Ask yourself many questions. Would you live your life under a corrupt government? Would you allow the Mexican police/gangs/drug lords, to walk in your home, kill your children, your family, got no reason and get away with it? Would you want to struggle just to feed your baby? Would you want to live how they live? Your country, my county is huge. But hey, it all comes down to greed and politics, right? It’s not about having compassion, it’s about these ppl taking your jobs, homes..am I right? These ppl work for Pennie’s a day, would you? We all deserve a good life, no? If you said no, then where is your God? Where is your compassion? Where is your kindness? Where is your LOVE? Oh how our world would be a much happier place if everyone thought like me. Yes, and sadly, it takes money and many other factors. \nBut if we go back 300-500 years when the white settlers came, took our land (oh I know I’m going to receive backlash and grief, hatred and stripe, and that’s ok) as a Native American person, my ppl could have fought and have y’all sent back to where y’all came from, and WE wouldn’t be living on shitty pieces of land, but every day we are grateful for what we have…don’t call me a savage, most of my family are white just like y’all LOL! But if we won, made you go back to where you came, would you have gone freely? Hell no! We HAD rights, and it was taken away….and take a long hard look at what’s happening today! Country against country..race against race..ppl no longer believe in God and our world is turn to shit…ppl walk past a homeless child and do fuck all (I’ve seen it many times..and yes, I help) stop being so fucking greedy, if you want to help take care of your homeless, then get off your asses and start helping your homeless ppl…will that happen? He’ll no! Why? Because YOU people who are against these ppl who want a better life in America, won’t even make an effort to help your own, now isn’t this called “calling the kettle black” because you simply walk past them, you stare at them with disgust! So don’t be hypocrites! And don’t go and make comments about acting like you truly care for your homeless when you couldn’t give two-shits about your own! \nSad, really fucking sad!

And the democrats will still insist there's no problem. Shame on you radical left liberals. You don't care about nothing but the vote to keep you in power. You know you're losing the black Americans so you're shifting quickly to illegal immigrants. This needs to stop. Why isn't these other countries held liable ?

Racism ?is everywhere! I went to a lot of the places you have said. Some of these Black places don’t like Black Americans as well. I live in Canada ?? but I know that there is no “Perfect Place”.

Ok, umm is snow white? Is water wet? What did you think you was going to encounter by going to a predominately white area? It's like me complaining about racism after moving to a Klan town in Alabama? You should have done your research before moving there. Sorry, not everywhere is happy to accept black people in the world. Even you as an American should know that. Why would you go there? Who the heck told you to go to Edmonton???

Ain't no such thing as black people black nonexistence when you call yourself black you tell me don't exist we are the American Indian everybody did not come from Africa you do not know your real history I know my real history as American Indian boy you better wake your ass up

Generally all countries hate American blacks because they know they're killers. Americans unfortunately have been cuckled and have to just take it or they'll lose their jobs. \nSoon Americans will be sick and tired of being cuckled in their own country.

You know why they're doing it you just don't want to admit it the 1% will still hire every illegal immigrant that gets across the border for pennies on the dollar because lazy Americans would rather collect welfare white and black than go to work and earn an honest dollar.... I can't find a white kid in Palm Beach Gardens Florida that will dump 8 buckets of horse feed which takes 5 minutes for $15.... America is the most spoiled Nation on Earth so at 71... With seven herniated discs two broken ribs and a bum left ankle I am still feeding my horses all by myself unloading all the hay and feed..etc.. I would do anything to hire a hard-working illegal and gladly pay them $25 an hour... Because the best worker I ever had was an illegal Guatemalan saddle maker.

I was raised in black neighborhood and was picked on and discrimination every day even at school...yet i dont hold aby grudge or hatred for african americans we should love one another instead of treating people differently than another all one race ..THE HUMAN RACE..THE POWERS THAT BE LIKE TO KEEP US DIVIDED BECAUSE THEN THEY CAN CONTROL US AND DISRUPT OUR ATTENTION FROM WHATS REALLY GOING ON ..THEY LIKE TO USE RACE AS THEY WEAPON OF CHOICE

If you are black and want to live your Best life in Canada go to Montréal. it is a majority of french speakers but you will meet People from all around the globe. Caucasians Latinos asians blacks from the carribean africa Europe Canada usa. better if you learn french and this is the problem of most americans they can only speak american unfortunately but if you are willing to live freely you have to make that intellectual effort. Bonne chance ?

Even some black countries are prejudice against black Americans, as well,sad

I'm a Black American (American-Canadian) and yes there's much racism there. Just look at the way the government treats indigenous people groups there.

0:27 there are black Canadians. She’s speaking on black Canadians. Not black Americans.

They don't like Blacks or Native Americans

It's no different than American, but I think it's worst in America because blacks hate blacks alone with others....

Etown sucks! Try Calgary it's way better than Edmonton. Sorry to inform you girl but racism is real and is everywhere in North America! Being black in Canada or the USA is alot easier than being native American. I'm on your side but the reality is the indigenous peoples of North America have it worse than black people. Racism is a reality of life because white people have been taught that they are superior since birth and even if they are not taught that their white privilege eventually shows through.

So basically American blacks would feel right at home in Canada.

Black non-Americans don't like Black Americans any more than white supremacists do.

That passive aggressive \nLiberal racism \nFull of micro aggression \nWhere you can literally feel the racial hate \nLike a dog on a chain \n\nLondon has it too \nWhere they are almost jumping at you \n\nYh i think white people can't help themselves \n\nIts like we are the reason they can no longer rape an pillage the world \nLike they used to \n\nDue to human rights etc and our moral systems that the black Americans thought for \n\nAn it burns them from the inside \n\nWhite people seem to be naturally a brutal type of people who have put a moral system in place to stop them from killing everyone \n\nBut if they had the chance they would slaughter everyone \nLike they are addicted to violence \n\nThe white outlook on life is amazing and barbaric \n\nAlways having to harm something \nBoth the men and women \nLike a whole people full of hate \n\nAn black people can be like that \nBut its not our default dispostion \n\nThats what ive noticed being around white people a lot \n\nSuper predators

WE ARE ISRAELITES ALONG WITH NEGROS AND AMERICAN INDIANS\nWE SHALL RULE WITH BLACK CHRIST AS IT IS WRITTEN GET READY YOU HATERS OF OF US ISRAELITES ??????????????????

I was hoping that Canada would be a safe haven for Black people. I thought that Canada was genuinely liberal in a way that nowhere in the United States is. There is the image of Canadians as low key, down to Earth, inoffensive, unimposing, friendly, helpful. I guess that was just a myth. Canadians don't like Americans coming up there for work and, Black Americans are also Americans.

This is an invasion,l. No none should be let in.\n Americans will suffer greatly, and this may be the race war that has been spoken of amongst whites and blacks, but it may be between Americans trying to hold on to their country, from these illegal immigrants. That's what it's looking like.

Canada is worst than USA. I am a black American who has been to multiple Continents and USA is the best place to live. And I lived in African nations and tribal racism is worst than USA. They wipe each other completely out.

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?

No doubt there is racism in most countries in the west including an amazing country like Canada or even Australia, but they aren't as horrible as in Asia or the middle east ?\nIf it's equally worse, those African immigrants doing well for themselves here won't be coming in large numbers. Black americans are just so dramatic and love to play the victims all their lives while blaming the whites for their problems and failures. You should head places like china, japan, malaysia, indonesia and live there for a little while and see what racism is like.

People in the comments talkin bout well move to Africa move to the Caribbean yall know damn well Black Americans and Caribbeans and Black Americans and Africans dont get along keep it ? now

I am a black canadian who lived here all my life,... The american proud boys got some cousins up north,... don't be fooled

Hold on now I will agree white Canadians are passive aggressive (sneaky) she called it but as a black American who has lived and worked for 28 plus years in Canada (Ontario) Alberta is the Texas of Canada so hill Billys rednecks not the most sophisticated people in the country I’ve never felt discriminated against and have always found great employment here . As a person of Colour in a mostly white country it’s not realistic to not expect some bigoted white peoples it’s just not, their the majority so their always going to be that way. But overall I never feel unsafe here in Ontario very diverse area lots of Muslims, asians, native Americans Africans and tons of Carribeans from all over the West Indies . It’s a problem white people struggle with but compared to my home country I prefer Canada, here you’ve got a chance where back in the states it’s literally dangerous to be too dark of different, sorry for her experience leave Alberta come to Ontario, you’ve got a safe home here.

This fake af I seen alot of Americans in that crowd both black and white probably even more they hyping tf out of this

I’ve said once and I’ll say it again, if white ppl in Canada had the access to guns the way white Americans do we would have the same problems. This is the main reason why I make it point to post and speak on American politics. Black ppl are not safe/respected anywhere and we need to stick together.

Set up the Machine guns fire fire Fire!! Like back in ww1 when they started running towards them ? population control. Plus have y’all heard a illegal killed 2 girls with a basketball bat and a machete 12 and 8 years old. I wouldn’t care one bit to kill 20 million people to stop that from happening to our Community of blacks whites and hispanics Asians etc Americans first everyone last.

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

Those are illegal immigrants not migrants what white Corporate America doesn't understand is their rulership is over black Native Americans we want our land back and according to our ancestors white people are they illegal immigrants Hispanics and Mexicans Latinos they always had New Mexico California and Phoenix Arizona Nevada that's beside their tribal people stayed on

Thanks to helping Ukraine that we forget black Americans and Mexico needs help the most. And the cartels are not helping anything

Biden and the demonrat partys America???SMMH. How ignorant brainwashed are black Americans???

I’m never going to Africa. They don’t even like black Americans. Plus why would you go to Africa? If you live in USA. They sold your ancestors

Land of the Free and a home of the Brave. A sanctuary country right? We the people? Human beings are trying to enter into a free country. What's the problem? They are not dogs and cats who need paper work like licensing or A.K.C. Registration. When are we gonna get it right? I'm a black man in America. Yet I know Love lives matter. It's about the blood of Jesus. Sure let's do things decent and in order but I'm tired of seeing our people on this planet struggle to walk on free land. Let's continue to respect our Native American brothers and Sisters too. We have a history as mankind we must not go backwards. We gotta call on Jesus to help us find the correct way to do this people. Come on. We gotta humble ourselves and pray for specific problem resolution regarding immigration, freedoms, love and respect, cultural awareness, differences urgencies, priorities and authorities. IM TEARIN UP GUYS. ? I AM GOING TO GOD IN PRAYER. MY NAME IS JOSHUA. WILL ANY ONE TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME? PLEASE DO. WE NEED SOME ANSWERS FROM GOD. A THUMBS UP WILL MOTIVATE ME AND INCLUDE YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS WITH MINE. OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS, OUR PRAYERS. I BELIEVE HE WILL HEAR US CORPORATELY. I HAD A VISITATION FROM AN ANGEL AND I DO KNOW THAT GOD IS WITH ME WHEREVER I GO. SOME THINGS ARE ONLY SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. I'M NOT AFRAID ANYMORE. TOUCH AND AGREE WITH ME IN JESUS NAME, THAT THE WILL OF GOD BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. AMEN??????

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???✊?✊?????

Africans don't like black Americans

If this was Foundational Black Americans protesting yet another police lynching of a Black person, that crowd would have been met with army tanks, tear gas, semi automatic weapons, and extreme aggression.

That's crazy! Had that been black people crossing the border they would have upon fire on all of them. The people who control this country want this to happen. Americans need to wake up and stop this.

Help God chosen children's they are his chosen ones help them out the blacks Mexicans Latinos and Americans natives are chosen ones we must help his people now this is all in the Bible our history help his chosen children's right now I love you people I hope you all will get help God bless you all!!

This is why we need more Americans that are Black to stand up. They have done good in this areae.

Being a American black is different from Canadian black they side wit them white Canadians

Why are you worrying about Canada and a disgruntled African chic who could easily move back to Africa chose to stay than mad about her choice or predicament meanwhile telling others African not to come. Why don’t she trade places with those that want to come. Worried about Chicago? Chicago is burning yet these justices worriers are not asking Democrat what are their plans for Chicago. Black Americans are not important. California were black are being forced to leave in the streets. Democrats policies area doing this. What don’t you get for your precious Biden help.,

I remember that after the American Revolution, the Africans (Blacks) who fought on the side of the British (Loyalists) were sent to Canada to escape slavery and as a reward for having fought. We have been in Canada for more than 240 years. Shame that it's still going on.

Well just straighten up and join the human race not the simian race, the whole world sees your people how y'all are behaving... the whole world! no one wants y'all... wait her mom won a lawsuit? if the country was truly prejudiced she wouldn't have won!! y'all American blacks don't wanna go to Haiti, Jamaica, or Africa...TOO DANGEROUS!!

Sorry I’m not going to black countries with high hope either. They don’t like us black Americans and don’t be gay you may not make it back. So again we really have no where to go where we are tolerated

That young woman is full of doo-doo and is just seeking attention. Edmonton received more than 1000 Blacks Americans in the early 1900's who fled from the evil of Jim Crow in the American south. The obstacles you now face are nothing compared to what previous generations faced. I advise you to know what you want and go get it. Stop making excuses

I’ve seen African countries, they aren’t exactly vacation destinations. And plus I’ve heard black Africans don’t like black Americans. Why don’t you move to an African country of America is so bad for you to live in?
