Why is it called racism? Blacks are black. White people are white. Even if you swooped them around for a generation or so,,, the blacks will still be black and behave black,,, and the whites would still be white. How long has this been going on for??? Blacks are black. And whites are white. I really don't understand the drama. For gods sake,,, you're black, you're white,,,, go live, just get on with it. This is the most nonsensical world wide debate ever. What do you want??? All of us to be black? All of us to be white? Swop places? Just accept this ( from the beginning of time) difference. Know who you are. Know where you belong. Don't trespass. You'll be content and happy.

Years ago I was looking for an apartment with my girl-friend and we looked at a great place and being white we didn't even think twice about being discriminated against. Oddly enough the woman (who happened to be middle-eastern) didn't want to rent to us because we weren't married. Just goes to show that people are silly for all sorts of reasons and none of them are good.

U dont want us to fear u stop killing us

Same thing happening in Seattle, we as Christian Americans we'll have a religious War soon if you keep letting them come in who really hates us and women who are not covered ! ! Who wants to pray five times a day which shows extreme ??Google Muslim Christian history, they can always go back !!!!!

I think subtle racism is actually a very practical type of stereotyping and it didn't just got created out of air, there is a big chunk of that specific race (be it any race according to the stereotype) who actually prove the stereotype to be right. I am from india, living in Canada and if some house owner would prefer a white guy over me to rent their house, I would not blame him since a lot of people don't like the smell of spices that we cook all the time.\n\nAs far as stereotyping is sublet and not rude or hurting, I don't think it's actually so much of racism rather then preference.\n\nI just want to make it clear though that I do support racism, whatever is happening in US and a lot of other countries which is violent is a very horrible thing. Specially black people being racially profiled everywhere including malls and by the police themselves.

For almost 150 years the Liberal Left has been conducting an experiment. The subjects of the experiment: African people and working-class whites. The hypothesis to be tested: Can people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?\n\nThe whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements.\n\nActing on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed African people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.\n\nDecade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they wanted.\n\nThey created the Freedman’s Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.\n\nTheir new laws intruded into people’s lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration. They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to African schools and vice versa.\n\nThey tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless hand-wringing to close the “achievement gap.” To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements on race.\n\nThey hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to “Celebrate Diversity!” and “Say No To Racism.”\n\nNothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.\nSome thought that the Talented Tenth would lead the way for African people. A group of elite, educated Africans would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what Africans were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the African Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability. That is what is missing.\n\nThrough the years, too many African people continue to show an inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them.\n\nDetroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and majority-black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And Africans rarely take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment. Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away.\n\nThe white elite would tell us that this doesn’t mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, more opportunities. But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many African geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president.\n\nSome argue it’s a problem of “culture,” as if culture creates people’s behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame “white privilege.” But since 1965, when the elites opened America’s doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India–people who are not white, not rich, and not “connected”–have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, African “youths” are committing half the country’s violent crime–crime, that has nothing to do with poverty.

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

wear what you want but do not try and force us to allow this form of clothing in banks, schools, or other public buildings. Also educate yourselves about your prophet, who gave verses from Shatan, and says it is ok to beat women, and marry children.

It's always poor us. Sorry you're not wanted or liked. Stop trying to get sympathy. People want you to stop going into their countries and attemtping a caliphate.

Don't tell us what not to wear because we want freedom :- women, who wear hijab because it says so in Koran lol

Us Canadians Don’t want her ?

Even in 2019... these are scary times we live in. If you study bible prophecy you’ll come to the conclusion that this one world religion, and one world order that will run the world, if you don’t accept their mark, or worship them, the bible tells us they will cut your head off... isn’t Islam the only religion that practices that? I feel mystery Babylon in the book of revelation chapter 17 is a DETAILED description of the Roman Catholic Church. And they are planning for 2020 globalism on may 14th. I feel as if the Roman Catholic Church will be the ones who force the whatever the mark is, and if you deny it, Islam slices your head off... prophecy upon prophecy is unfolding, I can’t believe I live in the last generation... if you don’t want to go through this tribulation period, all you have to do is have faith in what Jesus Christ did for you... that he died for you sins as a sinless man on the cross.. and rose again on the third day. You believe that you will be gifted with the Holy Spirit of promise, and raptured out into heaven. It’s no coincidence that all these new songs that are playing all quote “Life starts when the church leaves” that’s the rapture... i can’t wait to see my Lord ? God bless you all

Well they didn’t deny it! And they wear it to bother us cause there is no need to wear it here. They want us to know who they are and that they’re here. Intimidation! They just don’t want us to see their face. They say they’re afraid we’ll they make us afraid behind a sneaky face cover

For gods sake , in Rome do as Romans do. And most Islamic countries we have do as they want us to do so why don’t they do as Canada’s public wants.

I think what you are missing is that the majority of us don't care about\n what religion people practice in their homes or in private....... we just don't want to be ruled by that \nreligion. We believe in free democratic leadership, free of dark age \nreligious prejudices and hatreds. By the way, I'm female so please keep \nyour religious based beliefs and comments about women to yourselves.

In general: All people are biased, in some form and magnitude. This is something built into our DNA, from millions of years of evolution and experience, of meeting, living and/or engaging whit other people. The human brain, central nervous- and hormonal system have changed very little in the latest 20.000 years. The only thing we can do are learn or at least not act on our biased thoughts. On top of this, we have events in our lives, what we have learned from family, friends and people in our closest environment, political views/trends, our environment in general and personality treats which affects us all. What we can do to minimize this is first admitting to our selves what biases we harbour, and not act to the biases. \nThe thing is, we are all alike, but live, learn and/or act differently. We can treat people as we want to be treated ourselves and treat ourselves with the same principle we treat others.\n\n\nBe nice, treat people with the same respect as you demand.

Muslims need to go home. They never assimilate and always want where they invade to change everything for them.They are trying to take us all over from within

They don’t want us to cover ourselves yikes.

Why are white people soooo sick with racism? Everywhere man.. us..netherlands..france etc..\nAll the while we should fear them for all the hell they have caused.\nInsanity.\nOther white people need to speak up. Like they always want others to do when their group does something.\nYou people hate sikhs. Muslims..black people..brown mexicans..moroccans..turks etc etc..the list goes on and on.\nMaybe try and look at yourselves.\n\nYukhhh the echo of how that guy kept saying sharia...\nBrrrrr

Well the white guy was angry but not as angry as some muslims I've seen against Christians media spins what they want us to see

I would have to look at the footage from the start to end before I can come to a conclusion. The media as usual does not show the whole clip and want us to follow their narratives. Some of these people who are making comments just based on this clip are the one who are brain washed !! \n\nStop being misled people !

Very sad to see such disease crawling up from the US to Canada ??. I doubt that guy even understands or read about sharia? He is so flat, even in general knowledge, that can’t tell a Sikh from a Muslim even though both have been there in Canada before he was born! He only heard about Sharia and he took everything into his own hand to rid Canada of the evil sharia forces! And why the hell Is sharia even discussed when Canada has its own civil (secular) laws! Come on the guy is a human being and he wants to rid the entire world of the evils of sharia, in Canada and outside!

To answer him about sharia\nNo muslim immigrant said muslims want sharia law in canada, as muslims we are told to follow the rules of whatever country we are in excpet when the law tells us to not obey god, for exampl, forcing us to drink alcohol.\nSharia law is in islamic countrys, which myself i completely agree with, but in countrys that took us in as refugees we can not and will not and have not the authority to call for sharia law, and I doubt anyone is doing it, so this guy is clearely an idiot who thinks he knows something but he doesn t.

Where do muslims go, who want to convert to Christianity or Budhism ? Are their schools teaching muslims how to convert? It should be made available to anyone going to school in Canada or the US, and we need educational books in our school libraries, and maybe hire teachers to train and educate anyone who feels oppressed or terrified.

baby food are most stolen item, if they want to steel let the insurance company pay up, insurance company are the one ripping us off!

We have people that are US citizens that want to seek asylum in Canada. Everyone gets a fair trial. Trudeau meant straight from the country

Man as a Muslim i fucking hate see this kinda of acts that has nothing to do with Islam and still at the get portrayed as islam and here we are trying to convince people our own religion prohibits us of such acts, man this make me so angry ... they mix religion with tradition and do things that shouldn't be done ever ... There's no compulsion in religion, and uk is no Muslim country so you can't force people to follow your ideology, act upon it be kinda and leave them be ... if you really want to be a good Muslim show them the best yourself and the values that you are required to follow ...

So you’ve lived in the US for years and lived in Canada for a year and you still can’t speak English... you break the law everywhere you’ve been... you don’t actually seem to want to integrate yourself into either American or Canadian culture. This guy sounds like a class act

So Jose isn't wanted in Mexico (they're stricter than the US), he thinks he's gonna be a hit sneaking into the US and Canada illegally. El stupido! He should get in line and work-out the legalities first. Learning English would be a good idea too.

The system was made to black to fail bc they don’t want to see us succeed

We are not an empty country canada rn is having a huge overpopulation crisis we dont want this Trudeau wants this and I hope next election we vote conservative cause hes ruining us

I went to canada with my family when i was 6 years old i thought it was so beautiful the native americans treated us with kindness my dad bought me some moccisens there. A chinese immagrant restaurant owner was nice to us the white people many of them wrent very nice this was in 1969 in the summer but i loved the wilderness and wanted to go back and see the indians. I was a dreamer. Unfortenately and through my own fault after i got out of the military honerably discharged . I got a dui again it was my stupidity but i payed my fine did my jail time and got educated about not drinking and driving. It is not a felony i the US but it is in Canada so canada gets ahold of my driving records maybe they hacked in. And said i could not go into canada. I noticed they let george w. Busch in though oh well i dont think canada even pretends fainess under the law . Any way they are now letting elligals into canada and giving them a hotel room . The duplicity is absurd personally i no longer want to go to canada for anything i think the wall should be put on the northern border. When it came to our driving records there is no border does my information belong to a foriegn country? As US citizens do you think your information belongs to a other country?

I would sit on my door step, drinking ale, with my dogs, in front of my union jack painted door. Because this is England, and i would be doing NOTHING illegal. But saying anything against being culturally enriched like this, labels you a nazi, facist, far right, whatever. This sort of immigration was prescribed for us, we weren't asked if we wanted it, just had it dumped on us, by people who live far away from such environments, and would never choose to live among us. Why do you think brexit happened!? Will know one address the elephant in the room? ask anyone who voted to leave the EU and a part of the reason, if not the whole reason was immigration! The nation spoke, is speaking, and you just wont listen. FFS

They want to be us but CAN'T that's why they hate!

The thing is, Mexico is not in conflict for its people to seek asylum somewhere else. It is not good to just jump ship to any country and fight whoever so that you stay there. You struggled. You spent so much money on lawyers, when immigration laws don't approve of anyone going into US illegally and then file asylum. Sorry but the immigration lawyers just took your money and pretend to help you and that there are solutions. If a US citizen jumps ship to your country, would you declare that his presence there is illegal? US, Canada or any country wouldn't want that. It's like jumping on one's lawn, make house and wouldn't want to leave. That's how it is.

Make the illegals go home and the ones that do it right will have the respect they want. Stop listening to media they are pushing the race crap. The government doesn't want us united and they use race to keep us divided. Wake up people!! The info is out there you just have to open your eyes!!

Good job chhote. I like your confidence. I live in the US and I work my butt off every day. This is how it should be you know. If you want all those luxuries then you gotta work hard. God bless you buddy.

It’s almost like people want to blame us (American born citizens) for this happening, if you came into my country illegally, then it’s YOUR FAULT!! You broke the law of my country by just coming here illegally, so go back to your country and try to get here legally.. BUILD THE WALL!!??♥️?. He admitted to coming here illegally and he admitted to not showing up to his appointment, I’m so sick and tired of hearing these sad stories, my heart goes to people but my country need to take care of our own first before we take care of others!!! ??????

If sharia comes to America they will be killed because they want us dead. Look up shariah law and learn people. That said this many years ago if they cannot take by force they will invade and then make there law by force after they have a foothold in that area and continue. Fuck Islam if they came to to my door they would be met by force and I would say deadly

Deport them all, it's one thing to assist those that are seeking refuge and another to give people the luxury that our forefathers have granted us off the backs of hard work, sweat, blood and tears.\n\nThey need to band together and do it the right way, start a business, change the system, make their country one to be proud of rather than suckle off of people that are already working hard... the purpose of denying is so that those that want a different life can make a difference instead of making life hard for those around them and living off their backs... go home and dig deep to provide for your family... stop suckling off my wifes tit like you're one of my damn kids

US govt has been seized. US citizens do not want war. Military industrial complex would fall into its own footsteps if there were no wars (sort of like 911 WTC 1, 2 and 7). World is a stage.

Asslam o alaikum\nWe are teaching online holy Quran if someone wants to learn holy Quran you can cantect us on this number 923125056455 please

They’re threatened, afraid of the inevitable,,, being the minority and afraid of being treated the way they treat us . We’re not built like that,, we just want y’all / them to leave us the hell alone

Islam is not compatible with Canadian culture. Why do they come here if they believe Shariah Law is the law they want us all to follow. Why is Islam the only religion people are fearful of? Because if you criticize it you could be in fear of your life, especially a Muslim women who don't want to be Muslim.

They came to the west for the west to behave like them? Why did they come here then? They come to enjoy our freedom where they dont have in their own countries. They came,they saw and they enjoy previledges and then want to lord over us. The mu s t go home. Go back to their own country.

Yes I ran into racial profiling when I wanted to ask why CBC is biased and won't report fairly. Being white and male, I was told that my opinion is invalid, and in spite of the taxes I pay for their wages, I don't have any say. Moreover, because I am male, CBC's supreme leader Trudeau has dictated I am not allowed any sort of platform. This is an important issue! Why do you think these sterotypes are so prevalent CBC? Crime statistics? Day to day crime by certain groups? CBC hates the question why because it conflicts with their bias as mandated by identity politics. Once I can walk through any place in Canada and not simply see, with my own eyes, the obvious differences between people based on color, or am treated like a direct decendant of slave owners by our state run media, maybe then the forty-thousand years worth of tribal cues ingrained in me will change. Are there really no examples of white men changing the narrative? No exmples you can provide for us devils to follow? No studies on private donors who are trying to help? Maybe it's time for me to stop, as there is absolutely no recognition of my attempts to make changes. The withdrawl of financial support is now my protest against your bias. CBC-peddling division through diversity indoctrination...but you've got hip, edgy music and have vilified the evil white man so there's that...wicka wicka wack yall...

Wow, you're Canadian and get treated with this kind if respect and the government claims to vote for them because our Canadian lives are valued and they look put for our best interests? Has anyone really looked at all the Damn loop holes we have with *SO MUCH FREEDOM* its actually backwards! but they word it in such way and make it sound so confusing where we think they do have our best interest. REALLY ALL THESE RULES ARE ACTUALLY KEEPING US CONTROLLED. we do need the government on some matter to ensure we live by *GODS* rules not to originate their own rules to control us by. Canada is pretty darn good for this backwards talk, brainwash, diabolical plan. Look at the school or educational systems let lone bigger issues hidden in pages of pages by the hundreds of thousands rules we MUST LIVE BY. We all know its for their own personal benefit. We are only on this world for a short period of time we all want wealth ect. We all can have it. So many ways to fix the earth and how we coexist with eachother in peace and harmony. But TILL THE WORLDS POWER OF LOVE OVER COMES THE LOVE FOR POWER WE WILL THEN KNOW TRUE PEACE!!

Don't ever ask a white person if there is racism in their town, city, country, why? Because they are not targeted so how would they know? I used to trip on people watching me when I was in stores, however today @ 53 I don't care, all I ever say is if they ever grab me then I will take action, until then I'll shop till I drop! The racism that goes on in the workplace as well as rentals will probably never end because some white people just don't want(minorities)around, and since there is no law on the books that says they have to then it will never change. The late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said that the Government could never make a law to govern the hearts of men, maybe it's because King knew back then that even though the majority of us might want change, there are still a lot of people who would not change simply because they don't know anything else, so anything short of an act of GOD they probably still would never make them change, because you can't force people to obey a law that in their hearts they feel is wrong!!!

Islam is a cult, the Muslims are told to lie in their Qur'an. Read suras 5 verse 51 and 9 verse 29 to start , then tell mee if it is a religion of peace. The hijab is not in the Qur'an. The women in Islam are second class citizens, it takes 2 women to equal the statement of 1 man. If Islam ois so good then ask yourselves why are they leaving their countries to come to the west?\nGoing back to the standards of women, sura 4 verse 34 read it. Do you know the punishment for leaving Islam? It is death, that's why there are so many horror stories in other Islamic countries. \nAll I am saying folks is open your eyes. What is the saying, when in Rome do as the Romans do, this don't apply to the Muslims. The want to come and change the laws to suit them, islamaphobia is just the beginning. Do you think you could've gone to their countries and demand your rights? I think k not, look all I am saying is blend in, don't try to change us to suit your lifestyle because it did not work in your country, remember you chose to come here for a reason knowing fully well what the west is all about.lastly, you label us as islamaphobe if we don't agree with your behavior,so what we call you because of your behavior towards other religious groups especially Christians under which this country was established?
