So very many folks are NOT aware of even half of what he really went through.

"Thanks for taking one for an ever-growing team. --Much Love and peace from: Brandon Copeland--Dallas, Tx.
If Ryan was still ALIVE today he would be the same age as me. You made such an impact on society & fought for justice & won in the end. You should be very proud of what you achieved, & im sure you are looking down on all of US. R.I.P Ryan...
what a amazing boy well spoken and so mature for his age.I wish there was more people who where like ryan i wish i had the chance to meet him i would of beeen honoured to have known ryan.Rest in peace u will never be forgotten and as the
i've been looking for this video for a long time. ryan had it right. it's amazing how ignorant people can be, and though under terrible circumstances, i am so glad he got to make his voice heard that it is time for a change. rest in peace
ive heard some fucking idiot making up some story about MJ ramming a ball bat right up Ryan White arse which is total bullshit MJ befreinded him he never did that shit ppl need to stop believeing the lies who ever made that stuff up must be a sicko
No, he was a boy who got AIDS through no fault of his own in the 1980s. He was a hemophiliac, so he had to have regular transfusions of a type blood product that helps with clotting. At some point he got some infected with AIDS and contracted the disease himself. The school board where he lived banned him from school because they were stupid dicks and then there was a long court battle so he could return to school. It garnered national media attention and a lot of celebrities supported him.
what is your fucking problem m1ke420??? what is your fucking problem?? he is not a geek!!! he is a hero!!! he made a difference, and you are calling him a geek!!!screw you!!
"i mean .. um .. I'm suprised we have dogs now a days because their different . It's amazing u can accept a dog into ur house because their different " so true : ' )
is words gave me goosebumps. his words remind me of him, michael jackson, and all the other most innocent and truly kind human beings that people look down upon.
why is that? that we worship hollywoods little bitches causing fights at every corner, but simple, innocent, humanitarians, we accuse them, we consider them "weird"....
maybe ryan and michael were too good for earth, its sad they left, but they deserve heaven and all its pleasures after what they been through...
The will of God is that all humans go to heaven, but is not by good deeds but by grace through JESUS WHO IS THE ONLY WAY to heaven. God bless you all, Jesus loves you!!
Gods forgiveness goes out to anyone who repents, no matter what they've done. and thats what makes grace so amazing
'Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.' Eph 2:4
whether you steal a candy bar, or rob a bank, your a thief.
the guy who 'killed a thousand people' is forgiven, if he repents. if he does not, than no, he is not 'set'.
That's still ridiculous. In that case, any murderer can simply turn to christianity and justify their actions with 'Yeah, it was my bad. But God forgives me.' I'm glad we have jails, otherwise that philosophy would allow everyone to run a muck without a care at all.
And repenting wouldn't do anything for the families of the 1000 people would it? :T
the 'oh, my bad' attitude is more of a 'i got caught' attitude. rather, a 'repentent' heart is one who turns from his ways not because he was caught out, but because he is taking responsibility for his actions, not excusing his sin.
im glad we have prisons to, people have to be accountable for there actions. but does that mean God, ultimately our creator/father should not forgive us?
Because it's lack of knowledge, and that is the main reason. I know that Ryan and Michael had so much pain here on Earth, but maybe now...the media will leave them alone. No more pain and no more suffering!
what he said... it's so true! I'm deeply moved... in this world were a lot of people who tried and fighted to remove the racism, but none of them totally succeded. MJ and Martin Luther King Jr. were two of those people who care a lot about this. But everything's in vain if we are not involving ourselves in this.
Take your time and think a lot about what he said. You may be surprised to find out that you are not as u thought you are...
Hey, im an MJ fan, i love his work and adore his talent, but im also aware of the reputation he bears even tho i dun fully believe all of it. When you think of MJ, you think of his dance, his songs, his charity works AND his law suits, the image is there. It's not about being evil-minded or now, it's about one's sensitiveness in using words.
I'm not saying jonasbroslover37's mocking MJ, just to remind him of what his comments might lead people to think.
MrTrixter311, You are such an ignorant fool ~ Get a life~!
Ryan White is not homosexual~
He got contaminated when he was little. And he is very brave child who is the first kid came out publicly to fight for the right of people who got AIDS~!
He's like Aya Kito. I'll always pray for the souls of Aya, Ryan and Michael. The 3 of you inspire the world to be greatful on what we have. Your story of lives will remained in our hearts. RIP
god! these people realize goodness when they know they are about to die, so sad to have this people in a short period of time... god bless your souls...
no michael did not "fold" his hand! Michael kept giving to charity and doing things for ppl, did u know that he made sure that he visited as many hospitals as he did concerts?and honey thats A LOT OF hospitals, and he took this kid in and helped him, Michael was amazin just like ryan, where the hell did u even get that 4om? JACKSON FOLDED HIS? how dare you, michael is the most charitable entertainer evr.hes in the world records for it, u try donatin 900 mill in your lifetime to charity?
ryan white was a junior high student when he contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion. his school wouldn't let him attend, and basically everyone hated him. because of ryan AIDS is not discriminated as it was in 1989.
I was in grade school when this story broke. I remember how sympathetic my teachers and school was with the issue. They really informed us about how you couldn't contract the virus from eating in the same cafeteria , ect. such a sad story.
i dont know anything about Ryan White because i wasnt born yet that time but when i read the article about him i was glad that there is a person like him who showed that he is worthy despite of some issues stoned at him.. Your great!!
I live in thier Kokomo house, and have partied with his cousin at Lake Cicero. Never knew Ryan in person, but by this video, he would have had a great future ahead of him. If only he was around today....maybe what was different then would be more normal & appreaciated. God Bless Ryan & his family. Hopefully the College Fund Elton put together for Andrea does justice.
The way Ryan White was treated (especially in Kokomo Indiana) makes me ashamed to be an American. Ryan, you are in a better place. You are an inspiration to us all!
Ryan maybe gone from the earth. But as he has said. He will be in a better place. and We all know. HE most definitly is in the better place. He is walking with God. And His candle burned out 18 yrs ago. But his legend never will.
sorry for my mistake with a typing error i ment i have just turned 37...ryan would have now only been 36 or 37.... :( :( :( i ;love u little budy!"gone too soon"
Sorry to hear haleyshemar! I wish you the best! Im sure Ryan is always watching over you especially since you never abandoned him. Im sure he wont abandon you. God Bless!
i believ u billy colson...its me thomas from ryans childhood...his best friend....i never walked away from him or made fun of him..i stuck by him and now that i have contracted aids from a blood transfusion aswell i knw wat he went threw ... :'( .. i miss and love u ryan..my bestfrend is gone as i just turn 21 ohh ryan come back@@!
Were you guys ever close or keep in touch? I mean regardless of Wayne not being close to Ryan? Sorry, not to sound to nosey. God Bless Ryan he was an angel!
he showed us all how being diffrerent shouldnt affect us in anyway, and how you hsould alwys look at the bright side of things. ryan white was a brave boy who i look to for inspiration in life,
Even tho im only 14, this story struck me when i was 12, i didnt want to read the book, but i only did for summer reading, now i would read the book 50 times a day. Ryan was a good kid and he was completely awesome God Bless him.. we all loved and still love you Ryan, cya sometime later on in my life.. :(
