[PrimaGymnast47]

you're adorable. :]



[heyhellowhatsnew]

You're a good dude.

[DaTruth2024]

GREAT video, BeastOfFlames! :)

~BTW, I love your accent!~

[aGwEENapple]

Irish. =]

I love your accent. and your hair.

[MsAshonte]

you are so sweet

[sexyboa25]

i love your vid. is that a irish accent?, it adds to your coolness ^__*

i dated a white boy be4 and we didn't think about the color of our skin but there were people that didn't like us being together, they called me names to bad to say. but i stand true to who i am and wont let the world rip me apart.

i just hope the next Generations learns to love every person and know that we are all equal and thats how it should be

[IowaCracker]

i like your angle, but you add to the prejudice by labeling white girls as stuck up. im white but black is beautiful. we all are

[queenofsheba1000]

i like u. u r very sexy.

[kindredmission]

"Ebony is sexier than Ivory any day?!"

You are so cute! I would love to play in your white boy fro!

~*Love is love*~ Peace!

[jordanlne08]

Aww that was sweet :)

[icantafford]

More people should look at the oringinal film/Video before making comments on this clip It might make you more open to acceptance as a person to others of the same race, Which is not just HuManity but rather Earthlings or Beings of the same Birthright/Place/Origins. Because if you want to look at it WE ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES WE JUDGE!!!???

[windrix1]

WHY IS THIS EVEN AN ISSUE?

[icantafford]

Because the world is the way it is....No matter how many of us want or need change in the world it won't happen until we all move forward as people and leave the racist hate behind us. So until we all just grow up so to speak, It will be an issue

[CharlliiBr0wn]

LOL! ii love u!! u can soo be my whiite chocolate luv lmao!!

thanxx 4 the encouragement!! :)

CB**^_^**

[GogatsuGirl]

lol This was a great video. I loved the afro part. ;-)

[jazzyphay21]

Is that an irish accent that i hear??

[Avanaih]

HAHa, he is so funny and sweet.

[Kennaki]

Very compassionate video. It's nice to see the point of view of a man on this issue, especially non-African. No matter who you are, everyone can identify the struggle many black women face everyday. American society just has too many unrealistic expectations on what beauty should be. I would never go outside with my hair natural, and I think thats sad. All Americans should People should watch 'A Girl Like Me' and imagine themselves in that situation. By the way, I think you're adorable. =)

[accepteveryone17]

i love you.

[18kesha18]

i agree, but alot of the dolls and advertisments on t.v were white and it wasnt the fact that the black children hated who they were but the fact that they wanted the "origonal" doll that is usually advertised, which happens to be white. THe light skin vs darkskin is an issue in the black community which is very prevailent even in the media, people who choose to care will let the color of there skin effect there lives, people who dont will live there livs by there character, the choice is theirs

[BeastofFlames]

I wish everyone was happy with who they are. But in this world we live, I think we find it hard (all of us That is) to truly be happy ourselves when we know of the sorrows in others aswell. The only true way to fix all is to be happy as can be so that others may see that life is short an feeling sad when you/they can otherwise be having the time of your/they lives, Is just plain worng and in doing so is a waste. Be Happy....Or don't let you shit spill into someone else's day. I'm sorry.

[K4j4Goth]

any guys have a cam? i have mine in my profile k

[LilMisSsHAdy11]

aww... nice 1

[xyayxmehx]

this was really good to hear, thankss

[hotredsly]

[dontlistentomeimmute]

u go dude!!!!

[Souljoro]

sound like a Scott

[salmonfishking6]

canadian aaeeeeee?

[trishasinger]

you mad me feel a lot better

[Vessel23]

Nice video. Are you Irish? If so, did you know that black slaves and Irish often mixed together as they faced hardship. There used to be signs in Britain: No blacks, no Irish, no dogs. Can u believe it?

[nebulareclipse]

I appreciate your existance :) Nice fro and accent by the way :D

[27Morpheus]

IN the glory of an AWESOME FRO!

[janesfilms]

Hey! You Seem really cool! Are you A Gemini? I bet you are! Whens your birthday?

[blahblahblahman]

DUDE! Your hair is so freaking awesome! lol!

[nana525]

Good message, I hope it was genuine.

[omgrusrus]

haaah you're so cute

[sbourdeau83]

he actually responding to a video that a black girl filmed. the girl's film was showing on oprah show.

[sillyredhead197]

okay good job but why does your title say a girl like me and you're a guy?

[BigAuk]

People like him make me embarrassed when I make racial comments even in response to racial comments.

[ShizukaRose]

give me a hug!

[chiqagolil]

Justin Timberlake has hair like you. The girls faint over him. Black girls have bad attitudes and are very distrustful. They have been abused so badly that they don't know how to react nor treat people.

Fros are beautiful. Straight false asian hair is ugly. Bleached blonde hair on Black women makes them look like cheap imitations of someone less.

[sunsetpinkxoxo]

This is why I admire India Arie "I am not my hair, I am not my skin, I am not your expectations, no". Although the "GIRL LIKE ME" was about the differences amongst women of color, this guy is trying to point out that you do not have to conform to fit in or to be comfortable in your own skin!!! THXS

[lucilady]

awesome response

[jakeplummer]

thank you for posting this video, i read some of the comments on the girl like me video and it just made me sick.

[msoe24]

Bravo!

[BeastofFlames]

What are you even talking about? we are who we are not what colour we are.

[wheresmyhair]

i dont believe its white america teachin our black kids this but its black america. we are segrated in our own race lik good hair vs. nappy hair and light skin vs. dark skin. we did this to our kids not america.

[ebeneezzer]

A guilt ridden American white. Who would have thought?

[RecipeBABY]

Thank god for you.. i know there are pleanty of white people like you out there but your real for the video.. i love you ( black girl)

[FreedomFighter10]

Is that an Irish accent? I looove his hair. It is unique for a white guy to have a fro.

[butterfli2205]

nice to know a white boy cares....lol

[IsisCold]

thanks for removing the hat. if you ask me, your hair is what sets you aside and makes you stand out. i think the curly fro can be hot when worn write (hellooo, think timberlake!). embrace it b/c i think its kinda dope!

[earthODDITY]

In an ideal world everyone would have your attitude to race. That's a cool accent, whatever it is!

[IsisCold]

ummmm... thanks. your accent is kinda fly too. whatever it is!

[smukase]

I really enjoyed this video very much...good job brother

[BlueBootie00]

i just don't think most people recognise the degree of phsycological brainwashing on blacks about themselves.. that has been don in the last 400 years. I had to baddle self hatred as a young girl.. had I not gotten over the fact that I was never going to be white... I truly believe I wouldn't be as sucessful in my acomplishments as I feel that I am today...

[ilyak13]

Your so right about the depth of psychosis involved. Alot of people are so dense that it's scary.

[QueenLex]

lol. ur cool

[kuonankrma]

Sweet! Like your Fro bro!!LOL

[MizzDiamonds]

that was soo sweet

bravo!

[Diztortedpsyche]

Lol. Funny but a great choice of words....We should all be proud in our skin and it was great to hear such a positive response.

Paz.

[HimeNaoko]

Coooooooooooll!!!! xD I'm a young African-American girl and I LOVED this video!! So nice to finally watch a video in which the White person is NOT telling us we're crazy, racism does not exist, we are weak and ignorant people and that we must seek professional help immediately..... =( Yay! Thanks. =)

[stoopidrat]

lol cut ur hair ya god damn red neck!!!

[roni333]

lmao i love your hair

i want to hug you lol

i still hate mine though

[punkiedimples]

Really a great response Beast. Btw I like your hair *smiles* Keep it up hun

[BeastofFlames]

jt1421 is soo right it wasn't meant like that. It was meant as in a jest about a certain group of women i know down here in my hometown. So i Apoligize to all who took offense to that and I thank you for your great comments.

[jt1421]

That was a nice response. People with racist comments in the comments section for "Girl Like Me" really give white people a bad name sometimes, nice to know that you're making videos like this and rocking the fro. Others the "white chicks" comment was racist, but I don't think he meant it...notice how he laughs and says "Nah" afterward. I could be wrong, but I don't think it was serious.

Best wishes

[losersalwayswin]

I love your fucking accent.

[neicey2004]

one thing i didn't agree with you on is what you said about white women. i'm african american, but what you said bothered me. not everybody is the same, just like all black girls aren't loud and obnoxious, all white girls aren't prissy and stuck up. like i said great job on your response, but that little thing you said may change how people rate your credebility.

[neicey2004]

i liked your video a lot, i think that some of the things you said were dead on. for example, when you said you shouldn't change for anybody but yourself, that was very moving.

[Maple2009]

You rock, Stay true to yourself as well!

[sooochill]

You are sooo awesome

[KaryssiaB]

I liked it :D

[aymst1]

This is a joke right? I don't buy one second of this.

[cdm0014]

ur awesome

[perraporfavor21]

"When you see a white chick walking down the road their a lot more prissy and stuck up."

I don't know why you are talking about how racism is a bad thing, and then you are going to make a racist comment like this.

[BlueBootie00]

don't knit-pick the mans purpose of the statement. The reason behinds steryotypes.. is they hold some truth... the reasoning behind that is arguable...

[nowhere8]

5 stars

[cloudsrgreat]

i love ur response

it is soo true

[martaajoku1]

i really liked ur response i agree no changes should be made unless they are for self.

[sexysensation]

That was genuine, deep and heartfelt. It takes tremendous guts & courage to put yourself out there and speak out against unfairness. Too many good people stand by and do nothing - You've been proactive can only admire that - Keep doing your thing :)

[BeastofFlames]

yeah sorry about the white chicks thing it makes me a hypocrite if you look at it like that. It's an inside joke about a group of women I know down here.

[Travieslady]

enjoyed ur video!!!! ur right the color of ur skin is not who u r... nor does it represent how u act "white chicks r a lot more prissy and stuck up"??? i thouhgt that was an unfair statement. just because some people act a certain way doesn't mean all the people who look like them will act the same way.... but other than that i thought u were right on... both ebony and ivory r equally sexy.WHAT MAKES ALL SOOOO BEAUTIFUL IS OUR DIFFERENCES

[shewhoisPINKEST]

Rock on afro guy.

[FireOfpassion]

ur hair look fine/ but i understand what u mean/ u should do the shaggy hair style

[Plaine000]

i gave your video 5 stars!

[Plaine000]

i felt sad while i was watching that video as well...hey your cute!

[gettinhapz]

You hair is nice, cool video.Great message.

[BeastofFlames]

And in my old hometown for 9 years i was hated because i didn't have family there an cuz i was different i was an outsider i would have ppl call me the witches son the Troll or The Beast. They called me a beast cuz my mom would work me like a horse then i got stronger than most kids my age. So again i was different and yeah my hair gets picked on but who cares. The point is no point in getting all pissy over something so silly I mean we're all human.

[BeastofFlames]

LOL. You think i haven't felt pain? Lol. In some cases I should be rascist. When i was 12 i got in a fight with a coloured guy and i beat him less than an hour later he comes with three other guyz and beats the shit outta me. But hey there ain't enough time hating.

[WildHorse777]

You are really honest and I could say nieve.. Cuz you haven't felt the pain that comes from society looking at you like - you are equal to shit..

But - U have felt your pain from peeps laughing at your unique fro.. Which looks OK - U are a handsome young man & very senitive...

The world needs more people like You....

[anneangel09]

Wow i like what you say in your vedio.. yah your right. We dont need to change just to be belong to some groups or something. Just do what makes you happy and where you will be comfortable with.

[JoulseyCupid]

WOW Look at yer hair Mister! Lovely!

[mourning0my0life]

Luv da hair! Ur a funny guy.

[gameday26]

BeastofFlames? are you like canadian or something? hahahahaha!  its the accent!

[JoulseyCupid]

I think he kinda sounds like an Irish!

[shatteredpromise]

I know an azn with a fro. It's so cool. Go fros!

[jahmessenga]

good man....good is what you have.spead the love..the world has seen nothing yet.stay blessed

[kaysweetthang]

I too, as others, in a way, resent the remark about the "white girls" walking down the street being prissy. I am in no way a prissy girl. Hell, I shop at wal mart. Point = proven. I think all stereo types need to be shot down including yours about white girls. I'm a proud young Irish American. I think we all need to be proud of who and what we are.

Kay J. K

[engineer777]

good video...but no answer to be searched

[blocker9]

He sounds kind of Irish...

[hazza7450]

i love you! <33

[maggieisloved]

yea, like mrepifany said.. i wish all white people in AMerica thought the way you did. You are a really cool person. and, i give your video a rating of 5 of 5 too :)

[JJoyceBuckley]

Hey

I like your reply.

[InNoZ3nt]

That was touching =]. Hit me in a special place!

[gotbananas2369]

i <3 ur fro !!

[lightskinnedthickma]

black people and native american people made this country. as far as i'm concerned hip hop/rap has brought minorities down. the whole thug/ghetto facade brings black down. also, women hold other women down dressing and acting as though all life is about is sex. but anyways ths video was great. it speaks do you and live 2 the beat of your own drum. most people are ignorant, and haven't tested what they claim 2 know.

[Prettynsmartncool]

aww the hair! thanks for makin me smile lol

[Brownieyumgirl]

r u canadian?

[missregan]

This made me smile! Gotta love youtube!

[Mrepifany]

Man this is one intelligent young man. If the world and more white folks in AMERICA thought like you the world would be a better place dude. but all the ppl with REAL power feel the opposite as you do dude. just do me a favor and teach ur kids the right way to be.

[soccergirlfl]

i like ur hair

[cushe83]

I wonder iif a lot of white people actually knew this was going on in the black community. Every black person no matter how different phyisically has to deal with those issues . scicne we are only 12 % of the population old time values like this all the way from times when we diddint have rihts get passed down from generation to genration its sad really.

[cutecas]

cute!!!

[whiteymala]

Check out William lynch on the net. He made blacks turn on each other to create hattred amongst themselves so that he could enslave them (they r still doing it today (scary). should watch the vid below too

Willie Lynch Letter & The Making Of A Slave

[Saohesc]

I disagree a bit. There is the face of a culture, and there are people who represent it. But there are also people of any given culture, who might act or think in a way that doesn't represent the face of that culture. Those different people probably have something in common with some other people around the world... Culture is something that distinguishes you from the rest of humanity, in a way. Every place has those people who blur the lines and make us all the same "human"

[8lovechild8]

I would have said the same thing. (except the fro part ^_^)

P.S. Your voice is realy . . . awesome to listen to!

P.S.S. I like your fro!

[adasmini67]

who you are is the content of your character.Like MLKjr said

[rebecca89206]

That was very good. You seem like a great person and adorable at that. Is that an irish accent?...Ebony is better than ivory...lol i love it

[TeleuteEirene]

I admire your courage and honesty! You go!! I gave you a rating of 5 too.

[Nerd3ttE]

You're very wise!!

[danilop]

i almost thought you were gonna say some racist stuff about her video. but i was please that you made a heart warming film instead. good stuff. you should be an actor.

[narutofan111111]

Wow! I'm glad another white person shares my point of views! You, my friend, are awesome. Funny too. "Even if they know me..Well, actually they laugh harder.."

Your accent...Is it...Irish..? 0_o

[ETHIOmusician4christ]

i dont know why people think balck is the colour taht should be hated and dicussed about why black why cant people be racist to white people why not chinese i know there are people taht are racist to asians and whites but its not as much as balacks why shoudl blacks be the most hated and discussed about as races seriouslly i dont think any body should be racist to ANY one and it dasnt mata' if ur balck or white or brown or whatevea cuz da' only colr' dat mattars is green lol

[PubicWarts]

People aren't racist because of skin color. It's just that skin color usually relates to race, and people of a race usually act similar. Black people probably get more racism thrown at them because in the past few thousand years, they haven't changed much. Since white and asian people have made so much of the world's technology, and Africans look so unadvanced next to them, they get looked down on more

[CatharinaMartin]

...Changing your appearance to conform to others is simply lying to yourself. Heritage is what makes us who we are, why change it? =] I think every single one of those girls were beautiful, and would just as gorgeous without all the chemicals. As for you, my darling, your hair will grow... it will lengthen and, soon, you will have long, luscious, golden locks. =]. You're a wonderful person. All the best, Catharina xXx

[CatharinaMartin]

Thank you. =] That was beautiful. You are so right; nobody should have to change the way they feel most comfortable, the way THEY want to be just to 'fit in'. Besides, people from African decent, with darker skin and other [conventional] hereditary traits, shouldn't have to conform to the Caucasian race; each and every one of us is their own person; We are ALL Unique and Beautiful...

[1bagillion]

thank you. =)

[BeastofFlames]

Bucko1s well unless you jehovas witness if you had to get a blood transfusion then it just might be a black persons so really not that different. And what about the bible that sayz all men are gods creatures and that we all came from adam an eve. So think about that buddy and don't be an ass.

[janessi]

Autsch!!He is really right!!

[tottochangh]

Such a good person....thanks for this video and your intelligence!

[bucko1s]

the color of your skin is what you are and there is differnt blood pumpin those Nakker Veins

[Mixchow]

[Healer2K]

[ToddYbboT]

[Ijustwanttowatchvids]

Hehe, nice video man!

[27Morpheus]

You're a good person

[KBAvril55]

Now this is great!!! what a respond. I liked it!!! You made a really good point!!! Good job!!! :)

[BeastofFlames]

Yeah I'm Irish Scottish English French maybe a bit of native too.

[BeastofFlames]

Hmm well sure if it's your choice to be homosexual or if you were just built that way who am I to pass judgement onto those who walk that path.

[ah04lz]

I wonder if you feel the same way on the topic of homosexuality?

[Faloana]

Your accent sounds irish. I'd say scottish, but.. I don't know. O.o;; Anyway. You're a big sweetheart. :3 And I love your hair anyway :D You're cute. :3 People are beautiful no matter who they are or what they look like. A soft touch and a gentle pat is all most people need to just smile once in thier gloomy day. ^-^ *supermegahappyhug for you!*

[ohglamour]

aw @ your accent!

But nice response. You're courageous for putting your opinion out there about the video. Thumbs up to you! And i'm glad some people these days have these kinds of opinions. It doesn't make the world seem so bad after all.

[BeastofFlames]

Yeah again sorry for the segment about white chicks its more of an inside joke to a group of women i know. So again sorry.

[jcozatt]

I felt the same way about the video. Thanks for being brave enough to post visually and to speak from the heart. I wish I had your hair!! When in the third grade I was stunned to be called stuck up. I was actually very, very timid and shy! There are so many different kinds of beauty out there. Celebrate them all!

[perouille]

come on man i get were your coming from but hey stuck up thats harsh...stuck up is from carachter ..not color skin..(french/english girl)

[ruhappytoseeme]

great video and responce, I agree with it all (well cept maybe the part about the white chics, im a white chic and in no way snobby LOL) But I get where your comming from and the video effected me as it did you, skin color, hair, eyes, they dont make the person, its who you are inside and all your friends will agree :)

[BeastofFlames]

LOL I was born in Canada. I wouldn't want it any other way. Its the same principle as my vid where you are from isn't who you are. Its only part of the package.

[python734]

I wish i was born in Ireland not Canada, Canada's sick and all, but I still whish I was born in Ireland or Scotland, well that was random

[adorexxmoi]

You're amazing. I totally agree with everything you said. I love your accent & your hair. Thanks for not wasting my time!

[NarutoSasukefan55]

ppl don't realize that u have to love where u come from I glad he took his hat off because it show even tho white people don't want to admit but they have fro's! Speak my vanilla brother! Preach to the choir!

[Queenie4666]

i love you! (and your accent!)

[BattleAngel]

thanx good to see white brother out there. totally grow out your fro. peace.

[pelenatita]

amen, tell it man and your Fro is electrifying and BEAUTIFUL.

[rainbowafflez]

aww :) your such a down to earth person.

and i love your hair :)

[BeastofFlames]

it wasn't meant about white chicks in general sorry. It is more towards a group of ppl i know sorta inside joke.But ya if it was taken in that way that would make me a hypocrite so i'm sorry. And thanks for the comments on the fro LOL it took a while to grow^^

[xDominiquexBeex]

Your fro is mint. :) haha thanks for the vid, we need more people like you, I really do agree with you, our world is a fucking mess and its down to war and conflict, race and religion etc. either way, its SHIT :|

thanks again (y) xx

[zapbolt]

ur really cool dude

[gprime22]

right on man, ppl need to respect ppl for who they are, not by the colour of their skin, they might have a different skin colour but we still bleed red

[starchile]

Hi Kyle! 1st of all, I LOVE your fro-U are a cutie! I really appreciated your message. Seeing the ignorance & racism that permeates the internet it was a refreshing sentiment.

The ONLY thing I hope you'll reconsider is the comments U made about "white chicks". In the same way it's not right to stereotype Blacks, it's not right to stereotype anyone else. It's not necessary 2 put 1 group down in order 2 uplift another.

Warm hugs from California!

[kflynn07]

Listen, I agree with you, and Im glad that you were discusted by the ugliness and shallowness of the standards those girls faced, I am grateful to see people that are tolerant, but your comment about "white chicks" offended me. I am a proud white female, I wouldnt change a thing about myself. In response to your hair comment, My father has the same hair, and he's white too. I am proud of my Irish heritage, and in no way, NO WAY prissy.

White and Proud,

Kayla

[tiffannnnny]

your a good kid i like your video a lot

[originaldelta]

You are a very smart young man and I really appreciate your video...good luck to you in everything you do.

[BeastofFlames]

I just saidwhat I thought was right an true nothin more nothin less.

[blakesymphony]

God bless you man

[lotusxochitl1]

love this guy!!

[patricelove]

Yur kewl dude. Need more ppl like  yu.
