[haitt000]

Youre so great at what you do

[MerciX1001]

'I want to be like barack obama' Its now 2011 I wonder if she still feels that way . I hate obama.

[FutureRae]

OMG LMBO I WAS SO YOUNG LOLLLLL

[hakunanoma]

"i want to be the first alexis harris; that's what i want to be."

wow, this girl. so much poise and confidence for such a young girl.

run for president alexis, and i'll probably want to vote for you.

[topherh33]

Salam is such an idiot. Making up statistics like that, maybe you should educate yourself

[topherh33]

OMG these kids have so many of their facts wrong about black history. Who is teaching these kids? or are they making these things up on their own?

[gotOranges]

this country is still racist..we cant count on white people for asurance...we have to count on ourself.....

[CameronCourts]

She has a nice voice. Underneath the stars by mariah Carey is my ALL time favorite song!

[smedheat]

race and racism defines identity?? really?!? since when? 

[thesouthrapsucks]

hey i am a arab and i think blacks and latins need to convert to muslims and kill all whites!!!!!!!!!!

[optimine]

@thesouthrapsucks you seem to care alot about us. i know we're really scary. lol

[Drumlady12]

@thesouthrapsucks what about browns and i have a white aunt so i don't think i can do that and my cousins are half black and half white they look hispanic though asalam a lakum i don't think a muslim should talk about killing someone.

[icecru2]

the girl is cute

[LaTinH0n3y13]

5:04 Dayymm Tht GUy Is Smokin Hottt....

[FinelineNation]

Why do Blacks assume their targets of racism? I mean who cares! if someone gives you a dirty look, a comment, who cares go about your day! Who gives a fuck what a redneck thinks!As long as your not attacked or killed because of your race, then that would be a different case. But, Seriously!! common.

[CTastic1]

@FinelineNation You can scream at them till you're blue in the face. Look at this family. They live like royalty compared to other african americans. They still think they are targets of racism.

[goyavesETmangues]

@FinelineNation

.

"assume"??? Blacks n latinos are the most likely to be stopped and searched by the police but when stopped n searched, whites are twice as likely to be in possession of drugs. Do u really think that the war on drugs is REALLY against drugs???

.

A white man who has been to jail is more likely to get a job than a black man who has NEVER been to jail all qualifications being equal.

.

U probably have NEVER been victim of discrimination so please SHUT THE HELL UP

.

[Drumlady12]

@MaLillyBoogan latinos are sexy but blacks are not ugly and lazy were always outside bustin a cap in somebodys ass,ha another stereotypes and you know that all whites are not good lookin blacks and latinos are realated if you didn't know that.

[afrolatinadamien]

why does everything have to be BLACK AND WHITE???

[dow619]

alexis harris sound like a strong leader she should think of the politces/military.

[loveloveDJ]

Thanx 4 being prejudice towards africans, it proves u clearly dont know shyt....except what the media portrays.

[B4utrip]

Maybe U hate the stories about Black ppl because ur not Black! 

You white ppl can never relate to us Black and Brown PPL!!!

Y'all don't have a soul! lol 4real!

[SkateBstudios]

These get tiring. Not only has the racism reversed, it's disgraceful. I can't walk the street and say i disagree with Barack Obama without being called a racist, a homophobe and a bigot. I don't want to be attacked for being a libertarian.

[goldendoomer]

your not a libertarian. you've been censored by a race of people who are trying to sponge off of a system that they love! it houses and feeds the majority of them.

[MrShaneVicious]

@goldendoomer Republicans ?

[goldendoomer]

@MrShaneVicious most of the kids in this video will end up working for a Republican. the others just won't work at all. we call them Democrats. lastly, the idiot (above) "salamovic" who thinks his big words copied from a CNN Newcast are correct, they are not. the #2 cause of death for a black man age 18 to 35 in my state is death by another black man. #1 is diabetes (too many trips to mickey D's). there should be no month on our calendar celebrating such a scourge on our society.

[MrShaneVicious]

@goldendoomer You have no idea what those kids will do doing. The fact that they are on debating teams suggests that they are not average students. Most of them will probably be in college in a few years. Debate team members typically are high performers. You sound really ignorant and racist.

[goldendoomer]

@MrShaneVicious due to the current trend in what qualifies as a "college student", i don't doubt your comment at all. it has been proven that alot of state colleges are choosing blacks to fill the void and because it usually means guaranteed government money for the school. how about a MLK university? this country could use another learning institution that teaches blacks how awful white people are. it could be a 1 month college during the month of feb. and all who attend graduate.

[MrShaneVicious]

@goldendoomer Wow, you're either totally clueless or totally racist. HBCU's do not teach blacks how awful whites are. Do you even know why they were founded ????

[u2hubbard]

I get sick of these sad stories of being Black in America.

[H1MLA]

Why are u sick of these sad stories then? Please enlightedn me.

[PhuqueU]

They could be back in Africa, wearing a dick stick and eating grub worms from a log. and excuse me, isn't there a black president? Ok than, enough of these tricky shows designed to keep tension between blacks and whites, while the others run off with our country.

[ladyEulaelie]

The first 30 sec of the video threw me off. How can anyone suggest that my skin color DEFINES my identity and life.

The video was worth watching. lol. I guess the purpose of this video was to indirectly show that black kids DO participate in non-violent activities. I guess I'm suppose to assume that black kids are the future non-educated Americans.

[Realiteit01]

Ofcourse nothing about white racial stereotypes

[etemuru]

Alexis is amazing - this was a blessing to watch!

[Junior1luv]

I know a brother just like that dude.

Mama bounced on him and beautiful chops.He`s holding it down tho!!!

[tictocmm]

That charming Alexis girl is such an inspiration.

[sniped101]

too bad all black people dont get it.

graduated highschool when i was 16.. about to graduate college at 19. this should be standard

[mrbobsevil]

All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

[guavaaaa]

Do you truly believe that, or did you quote somebody?

[rasglory]

you're an atheist aren't you? lol

[etemuru]

no...he took the red pill lol

[devulboy1]

Last post: Obamas presidency is said to be the start of a "post-racial" America, but we need more to stop racism & class disparity in the US. Too many of our citizens are affected by it, we still have poor all-black neighborhoods & the income inequality of African-Americans is still present. They are victims of a past when money, privilege, advancement & justice was limited to only white people. But, African-Americans will refuse to be oppressed & stand up for their civil rights like always. +

[devulboy1]

We should stop racism once and for all, end discrimination against those of color, and don't keep stereotyping people because of their race or culture. Had we learned in the past 50 years as a country like the USA? I'm glad for these students who want to study, graduate from school & get a good paying job. African- Americans in the USA deserve better, hopefully the Obama administration will demonstrate & teach more Americans (some remain racially bigots) about the abilities all of us have. +

[DickCheney777]

sieg heil

[croat88]

Dammit Dick Cheney! You're not allowed on the intertubes!

[Tr3v3336]

AMEN! REMUSEN DE JUDEN GASRACHEN!!!

[briishspy]

in england there is no black history month it's just part of the american west history i've never understood why americans have black history month it's like it's saying heres history for your race, when i've allways seen history as storys and you can be interested in whatever one you like which ever race it belongs to, i'm really interested in japans history at the moment, i don't understand people being proud of "their history" you've got to earn pride, historys for everone to enjoy

[maipai101]

We teach white history most of the time.

[DollBr33zyBri]

Am I missing something? When did England have the same history with slavery as America? We have that month because we created it- do some research and stop blindly asking questions that you aren't even willing to seek answers to on your own. Besides, there IS an Asian history month as well. Now your homework is to find out what month it is and dedicated your time to Japanese history, ok? What other race in America was stripped of their culture, heritage, and traditions- then made to slave?

[devulboy1]

To some extent, Native Americans...they gone through near destruction, oppression, forced removal & cultural loss in many ways close to African-Americans' own experiences in America or of the European colonial influence in Africa. As a person of Native American (Cherokee/Osage) descent through my Mom's side, I view America not only a land of opportunity but one of racial subjugation as well & the consequences it has on American Indian descendants to this day. This is what happened in America. +

[Drumlady12]

@devulboy1 i'm cherokee on my moms side too but she doesn't embrace her native side she "read" a book kind of .

[trustusyeahright]

now that is a man, he is taking care of his children. I wish more men of all races in the us were like him.

[jpariahmusic]

@trustusyeahright my father did that for my brother and sisters

[Ramal123]

@trustusyeahright Maybe if women would stop shacking up with losers.......

[astmapiippu]

I find it grazy that people have "black" and "white" schools in USA.

Could some US citizen tell, how many schools have students only from one race?

[trustusyeahright]

schools are for the most part intergrated, but typically these days you go to school were you live, so if a city is mostly black the school with be. In your typical school you will have about 15% which is the population rate, this is only based on states that i have been in.

[etemuru]

defacto segregation happens when white people don't want to be a part of the solution. Rather they leave the cities in droves to the suburbs in what's known as white flight. or they return to the cities in droves and push minorities out in what's known as gentrification. Either way, they don't want to live near us, so therefore, they don't go to school with us usually.

[MIXEDBOI1989]

Black people are weirdos

[angelicpink]

and white people are evil

[brightlights456X]

To MIXEDBOI1989,

The fact that you said that proves you are dumb. Plain & Simple.

[moester101]

da girl sounds exactly like huey from the boondocks

[ArabsUnit]

really amazing how the girl wants to be like many gr8 black ppl..notice she didnt say condalezza rice..i wonder if condalezza has respect from the african american comunity...

remember something america..the white house is going to stay white even though we know obama is black..

[angelicpink]

Its not about painting the white house black. Whites can have their earthly possessions. Black cherish something that is more powerful and will last for an eternity that no one can take away. So u and the rest of the people whom think like u can perish along with this world.

[brightlights456X]

It should, it does have white paint on it:/

[ShadowCrashed81]

A black asian. Something new to my eyes.

[rabidhippo5]

lemme guess, ur other half is filipino?

[ShadowCrashed81]

What?

[angelicpink]

that just means u need to travel, read, and leave ur comfort zone.

[ShadowCrashed81]

Seeing a black Asian means I need to read?

[tweety1o1]

Ha, this is Alisha on the documentary.

For the record. 1. Woodstream won the individual debate against Alexis team. 2. Mckinely did not beat woodstream in team standings but won sweepstake. 3. We went undefeated tied Banneker for first, who won by 1st by speaker points. 4. Alexis team was not undefeated 5. The documentary unintentionally potrayed them as the winners. 6. Mckinely is a great team. 7. ALexis you are a superb debater, one of the best. Thanks

[DrumboiB]

I would just like to highlight my sister's accomplishment. Alexis Harris, the inner city school student, is my sister. I am so very proud of her, and wish her the best in her future endeavors. I have no doubt that the next generation, which is filled with youth who hold the same ambitions and moral sentiments, will lead us to a cultural understanding. Tolerance and education are key in this race issue. Congrats Alexis! Love you always.

- Nolan

[preludedriver226]

You don't see that one you're cbs evening news!

[annarboriter]

It was sad how Black history month was portrayed s a month for learning how victimized blacks are. Is that all history is about anymore?

[zndprophet]

Funny how the guy who says the Uncle Tom sounding thing is named Thomas...haha

[cookiecutit]

great story.

[Spunkette87]

awesome story.

and i love how the inner city school kids beat the suburb elite private school kids :)

[fion81]

Relative to demographics blacks commit crimes way out of proportion to population.

[cookiecutit]

Thats becuase blacks have been marginalised in society.

[fion81]

and yet other minorities, like east asians commit less crimes per capita than whites. Also blacks are over represented in crime in europe, and asia.

[cookiecutit]

Well I am not black but I dont like to point fingers to one particular community or race... just like we can't blame white race all the War's or maybe we should.

[fion81]

do you know how many non white genocides happened in the 20th century alone? u can blame whites for japans enslavement of koreans, or the rape of nanking, or pol pot. or what china is doing in tibet now. or the congo war. or the genocide of armenians by ottoman empires last stand. Or north koreas leader. and so on and so on.

[cookiecutit]

let me not get started here...westerners have killed more people in 20th century than any other nation...starting from American war Revolution to current war in Iraq...now its your job to count the number of wars westeners have been invovled in during this period.

[fion81]

90% of the causulities in iraq is muslim on muslim violence. In fact, the people who suffer the most in the muslim world are muslims they are the primary victims of the violence produced. Westerners advanced in technology faster thats why they killed more. But im not sure its true, about 20 million female children killed in china bc of the laws on only 1 child. Arabs killed 40 million hindus in the hindu holocaust in the 1400 century. Mass bloodshed is universal

[cookiecutit]

"...20 million female children killed in china bc of the laws on only 1 child. Arabs killed 40 million hindus in the hindu holocaust in the 1400 century"...what is your source....faux news?

[fion81]

are you nuts, google the hindu holocaust. AS for the chinese situation thats quite well documented as well. MOstly academic sources. Also see 'davies' writings on arabic slavery of blacks, the african slave trade has been predominantly conducted by arabs not whites. History is a bloody affair.

[megan4197]

ahem, that depends on your definition of abortion. To the extent that you take the neo-con jesus freak stance, then that 20 million female "killed" would be valid.

if you were sane however...

[annarboriter]

Which nation do the westerners live in who have killed the most? If we could only get rid of that nation!

[AbusedFairlady]

"westerners have killed more people in 20th century than any other nation."

- "starting from American war Revolution" LOL

What year was the Revolutionary war???

[AirelonTrading]

LOL - heheh - yeah, that's a good one.

We have killed more people in the 20th century, I mean, just look to 1776! All I could think is: "I personally believe, that many people in our nation don't have maps ..."

[jwang3213]

Everyone knows that marginalized people commit more crimes because they have no incentive to give back to a community that ignores them. They just happen to be black.

[suspendedb4]

primitive white racism... ppl open ur eyes ...we should kick those racist out of usa

[Leedscity]

LOL "Heil Hitler", what a seriously retarded primitive ignorant comment to make, I pitty you I really do. For you to even think that you had/have a place in the ridiculously deluded ideology of hitler's dreams is laughable, do you honestly believe that you will be apart of and/or have a place in any kind glabolised dictatorship? Both you and I would be destroyed if such a thing were to occur, so next time before you open your mouth and start spieling your verbal-diarrhea, do your homework first.

[Adolf18891945]

Yes, you would be destroyed because you are Black.

[mercedescl]

Another jobless teenager without any success in life, friends, and family warmth trys to persuade people to response to him. I won't curse you because you already are isolated by loneliness and hopelessness with girls. Seek help, you still have a chance.

[ceb2008love]

I laugh at those Caucasian who worship Hitler. If Hitler was there, he would have probably send them to the concentration camp .

[Inathi12]

lol excellent!

[witzkeyman]

Willis Carrier invented the air conditioner. he was white.

[royhaworth]

Once again Al-Jazeera English comes up trumps! Excellent report!

[Energyium]

racism is an expression of primitive mind

good job to these kids and teachers

[Renegen1]

My friend who's black spoke of racism in france. He said, if the french have lived for hundred of years, why allow some outsider to steal their land and job? Racism sometimes is bad, it does exist more often with people less educated, but racism is a real materialization of a fear. Some countries are melting pots, like the US, others want to maintain a cultural identity, like Japan, I don't think you should invade those countries. There is nothing wrong if that's what most of the country wants.

[amazingjames311]

well most people in africa are black so them doing most everything wouldn't be outragous.

[fion81]

IN africa, blacks are more often homeless, more often the victims of violence. they are being arrested bc they are commiting crimes.

[Salamovic]

Not true, statistically speaking the Indigenous white population of America will commit the majority of crime, black people are a minority, to suggest them to commit the majority of crime is simply absurd.

Regards

Salam

[MrShaneVicious]

@Salamovic Blacks do commit a slight majority of the violent crimes.
