  • i sound well pervy but... she has the most blue eyes... emma thompson rocks man!!!

  • Sadly I can't take anything she says on board, knowing how much she and her husband hate white people.

  • Great vid! It's amazing, that Emma responded to Zennie62, because it's, by no means, naturally, that she did that! And I think it shows, what significance this topic has to her and should have to us all!

    On the other side it's ridiculous, what comments delivered here, only because of her hat or her status or other unimportant things! Since when, it's normal to make demands to people, who want to change things for the better??? Don't get it...

  • Great video, ideas are a little too Disney and idealistic but great nonetheless. Wish more people thought like her and less like all the pathetic bottom-feeders who have seen fit to insult her for trying to say something positive.

    P.S. Anyone who thinks its ok to comment on her hat rather than her message, you are part of the problem.

  • Hey Emma, Why do you hate white people so much?

  • brilliant Emma, snore snore.. break down the barriers between my wallet and your next handout program.. did i say that? i must be a racist..?? i pay $800 a week in taxes.. who gets that money? It ani't nobody in my family.. I am the guilty one however.. Emma and Zenny.. the idiot couple..

  • oh oh oh i just love her hat

  • "invisible barriers", out from "wit".

  • She's great for that. And it's w;t. I assume you are talking about the play right? She was the lead in the Cable Version, though before I knew about it she was the lead in my head for it.

  • Yes...she's smart and seem sympathetic enough. But she'd be even smarter if she'd stay away from the Heathrow third runway debatte as I can't see her stepping on a freighter to cross the Atlantic to get herself to her next shooting location...if you see what I mean.

  • She's not doing much to make the world a better place. She thinks she's better than everyone else.

  • Is she wearing an AFRO wig..Watch as she scratches her head..IT'S AN AFRO WIG.>haha

  • It's sort of ironic that a video post about eliminating racism is judged as worthless based on the background of the person who made it.

    Youtube doesn't require a poster to have intelligence, tact, or good will to post an opinion; But Ms. Thompson has all of those. I applaud her effort.

  • if emma would ever read this...just gotta tell her that shes an "actress" pls emma never try to post videos about this.,its annoying..

  • Really, here we are in a comment section talking about racism, discrimination, tolerance and multi-culturalism.

    And the level of agression is huge merely because people have different opinions (sometimes only slightly so).

    Are we really going spread tolerance by being intolerant?

  • stupid

  • well said.

  • nice sentiments, and cool that she did that...but i hope she is being symbolic when she says to actually turn around and ask someone, "different than you" "what's your story?"......uh, in most major cities not only could that get you (rightfully) punched in the face, but racism is not going to end by people tokenizing others experiences by invading into their personal lives and making assumptions. unfortunately, it's a WEE more complicated than that. still, her heart's in the right place.

  • I agree that a lot of people would think you're crazy if you suddenly asked what their story was, but think of how much better the world would be if we cared more about other people's stories. I mean not only for the antiracism reasons, just for the sake of being human together and feeling for other people.

    She probably didn't mean just go randomly asking strangers to open their hearts to you, but to start thinking about people as people instead of just bodies, realizing that they have stories

  • INSTEAD OF JUST LISTENING, CRYING AND CONVERSING we need to CHANGE THE SYSTEM...SPEND MORE MONEY ON PUBLIC EDUCATION, SPEND 8 TIMES AS MUCH MONEY ON YOUNG MINORITIES and then u might have a remote chance of ending discrimination. THATS WHAT U NEED TO DO.

  • what a load of shit!!! nice talk as she goes home to her gated and videocamera security protected home. you won't find her living next door to the people she's alluding to in this fluff piece. you fail hypocrite.

  • shes lives in a nice house because she can ypou idiot.

    with her status she is bringing a relatively unknown subject into light

    moron

  • isn't that the perfect definition of a hypocrite loosegoose? the people she's talking about don't live next door to her, do they?

    because then, she'd have to live in a low-income slum where all the people who look different than her live in order to really have credibility with her colorblind talk.

    betcha she'd be the first to call the police if she saw a low income person of another race walking around in her neighborhood. both you and her "fail."

  • Yes, she could sell her house, move into the slums and be with people who are different than her. But as it is she's already doing more than most people. What are you doing? Part of why I'm defending her is because I feel bad that I haven't done anything. It's a hard thing to do, so when someone does, why don't we help them instead of making ourselves feel better by cutting them down? Where does Samuel Jackson live? Is he racist?

  • @TOILETLOG Actually she has one "of those people" living right IN her house, because she and her husband adopted him. So you know what you can do with your ignorance.

  • Look, you are an idiot, because you are in touch with the reality. Which Mrs. Thompson isn't. She can preach about tolerance from the windows of her millionaire villa without fearing that she would spot a black man holding a knife.

  • lol what the fuck is on that ugly ass head ?! xD

  • talking about: USA Wash-Brain, NWO, and Invasion Wars ,NO ? RACISM is enclosed in each one of these arguments !

  • Its great that she took the time to respond. That's an amazing thing to do.

  • can you stop mean people and traffic congestion while you're at it bitch?

  • Nice wig. I agree, we have so many boundaries in the world, many of which are un-necessary and those that we impose on ourselves.

  • Our only boundries are these leaders that have been set in stone with masonry, Our future has been planed and not by God. He cant help us, he is laughing how we let it go! New World Order is where we are at(Mcain,Clinton, Obama) it is already in place son! and I am already dead!

  • u bytcg dnt use real fur use fake u animal abuser

  • if youre so anti racist what you wearing an afro wig for?

  • It's a hat, not a wig.

  • nice hat bitch.

  • shes so cute :)

  • until you know what racism/white-supremacy is and how it works, everything you (think you )know will only confuse you.

    powerful-class=racists/white-s­upremacists.

    powerless-class=racial victims/non-whitesand whites who do not practice racism

  • penis

  • In order to create harmony, peace and multiculturalism we must destroy the fascist cult islam

  • yes, all three of those things would surely come from the destruction of one of the largest religions on the planet... dumbass.

  • not a religion, but a fascist cult masquerading as a religion. Islams founder Muhammad was a warmongering pedophile

  • You cannot destroy an idea, that's ancient wisdom. Surely we cannot destroy Islam, but we can prevent it from growing larger among our christian & secular humanist societies, which is enough. Eventually Islam will start to evolve the same way as christianity did, but it could take another 200 years... Unfortunately Utopia is very far away.

  • Nomadicbede - I know the big bad world is hard to understand, and many people prefer nice, fluffy little sound-bites to a hard, historical analysis of the origins of racism. But if you think it's enough to know that racism is 'bad' you're a deluded little fool. As for colonialism being 'antiquated,' tell that to a million dead Iraqis.

    But unfortunately you're merely another dull, simpering, adolescent, middle American wanker, with your thumb up your arse and a head full of second hand shite.

  • i love her!!

  • nice wig

  • uhh, i believe that is a hat.

    :S

  • Nomadicbede, you poor, foolish fuckwit. Emma enjoys mainstream acclaim precisely because she doesn't perceive anything meaningful at all, about race, neocolonialism or anything else. Get back to your TV, consumer products and officially sanctioned stupidity and leave the grown ups alone, please.

  • very good video! please check out mine at jackginger06!

  • Are all this Davo people on drugs!

    Dream on people!

  • Love what she's doing, this woman is an inspiration <33

  • Emma you're an inspiration! So lovely!

  • Tomorrow Russell Brand will be telling us about his plan to save all the endangered species in the world!

  • Did jamiriqui get a sex change. He still sounds like an arsehole.

  • LMAO

  • So after years of identity politics, the same people who champion it are now wondering why we have barriers.

    There will always be barriers. I see it here in America all the time. No matter where people come from, they tend to hang out with their own.

    And barriers aren't all bad, either. The Founding Fathers rightly understood that man must check other man. Let the globalists have their way...hellOOOO Anti-Christ!

  • Where are you going with this argument?

  • For there to be an anti-christ, there must first be a christ. Your argument fails.

  • That isnt so.

  • but why are you all spreading hatred around about her. she's great!! she's not stupid, you are all just dumb. no reason to hate a selfless celeb for wanting to do good. think about it. think about your stupid comments. those equal wasted youtube time!! Emma's great and you know it!!

  • it wierd in good way

  • Stop Racism Don't vote for Ron Paul. 

    He would be the oldest president in our History!

  • She is an exceptional person and actor; good for her for taking the time to actually communicate her viewpoint. Anyone who can't get the wig; needs a sense of humor bypass

  • This is great! Barriers are what cause our problems...

    Except people don't realize that those barriers are man made mental barriers. There are no countries, only distances, there are no races, we are all the human race. Let's get rid of those 'issues' because they are only in our minds... We all love and want to be loved...

    I love you

  • Hey everyone give it a rest. Maybe if you actually knew of this actress, maybe you'd shut up. Not only is she a fab actress, but is involved in may charities and cares more about the poor then fame So what if she looks stupid in this video and she's ricg/famos, its not about that. Its about getting out there and making a difference. So how about you losers stop knocking her, get your lazy ass of youtube and make a diffrence. You ognorant slackers!!

    Go Emma!!

  • "ognorant" ??? lol

  • lol, my mistake!! but you know what I mean!

  • PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs

  • how much did that dead animal on her head cost?

    who made it?

    what did you do with the rest of the cat?

    fur kills

  • Blake Sanden <---- GooooGle That

    Blake Sanden <---- GooooGle That

    Blake Sanden <---- GooooGle That

    .

  • Ok that's all well and fine but where can I get a hat like yours?

  • i have a hat like that and it is made from your mothers pubic hair...quite chilly.

  • does she know her hat makes her look like a dumbass?

  • Want to end discrimination and racism? Stop discriminating and being racist.

    This isn't a government problem. When I hear things like "businesses need to be encouraged", I know perfectly well that I'm hearing a plea for government coercion and force, and we all know how well government does things.

    I also know that what I'm hearing will go only one way, like PC does.

  • Americans will defend their right to hatred and the pursuit of others' misery all fucking day, but cry if they have to lay off their own countrymen. Fuck Americans and their rights. The government should drop the fucking HAMMER on losers who don't like federal involvement in civil rights issues and make them leave the fucking country. Found a Republican state on an island somewhere where no one requires leadership.

  • Check my videos, I show you how to get an iPhone for free and I SHOW PROOF.

  • And once again, talking and talking, and no acting.

  • Hey Emma, guess what, without the racist and colonial system that condemns 50% of the worlds workers to labour for less than $2 a day, you wouldn't be rich! Your bank, your investment portfolio and even your yuppie clothes are a product of racist oppression and institutionalized inequality. Oh dear, luvvie.

  • So precisely what should she do?

  • what the hell's on her head? get it off

  • whatever it is, it's dead now, leave it alone or it will have died in vain.

  • what a ridiculous statement from a pampered luvvy seperated from the realities of the world by money. good luck to her for that, but please dont lecture on altruism and the love of fellow man when the harsh realities of live are that the average person has to scratch their way through and the resentment to others is brought about by what they represent - competition in the labour market, and cultural intolerance, particularly when west meets east.

  • i like her afro

  • like this actress,like her petty action~~~:P

  • Emma who?

  • Ms. Thompson, another question, if you will-

    Would you like to come back to my place?

    (Hate to detract from the issues and all but it had to be asked.)

  • it's not likely that any of us would turn to another and say, "hello, what's your story?" as she suggests but i get her point. what she said isn't that bad so i don't get where all the vitriol is coming from. at least she's stepping up to admit it's a problem all around and that we all should just see the soul within the other and not focus on the external material shell.

  • gag blah ru kidding me. Looks like she has a severe case of white guilt on her hands. Maybe she should shoot herself and it will be all better.

  • This bitch has no clue at all its like a bunch of mumbling and shit.wtf!

  • Hear ye, Hear ye! Because I believe that I am smarter than most of you, here is my quick and dirty thoughts on racism: 1. We are still in the process of evolution; 2. Racism is merely a part of the process of evolution. Let that marinate...

  • who is this guy? smoke another one.

    (the itching is from when the perc's kick in.)

  • bok gi

  • World famous professional actress and she can't stop scratching herself for 74 seconds?

  • ! Everyone - Needs Love, forgiveness, understanding, compassion, and a firm wakeup when we start hurting someone else because of our Own selfishness. Instead we get angry - which produces so much more hatred. Then, we use forums such as this to continue the ridicule of others and slandering each other - or praising someone that would slander or make fun of someone else. Please think before you speak. We are All in this Together - NO Matter what we look like

  • will she just shut up! she is so annoying..

  • Oh Lazyboy, you're just so cool and above it all. I wish I was like you and could casually insult caring, gentle and thoughful people with a lofty sneer. You are my hero. Don't change, not even for a second. Love E.

  • nice hat:|

  • I fell like i'm wasting time on youtube lately... o_O

  • Actually, when you post things like this you're wasting my time, too.

  • *** Actually, when you post things like this you're wasting my time, too. ***

    Hmm, I'm not sure it's technically possible to "waste" something that has zero value in the first place.

  • hahahahahaha. now that's FUNNY.

  • no education eqauls unhappyness and no knowledge of anything and racism , having a education brings you knowledge and wealth , wealth brings you the opportunity to travel and see the world, this then allows you to meet and get to know new people which then allows you to see that is no need for racism and we are all alike

  • WHY does an education bring you wealth ?

    Maybe in your FAIRY DAIRY LAND !

  • Racism is a legacy of upbringing. The media perpetuates it through the application of technologies like repetitive imagery, subliminal imagery, etc but the average person with an upbringing will recognize and reject it.

    The problem of racism comes down to parenting or the bitter lack thereof.

  • oppkl[pkl

  • You are ugly botch. niger

  • Emma please can you remove your rose tinted spectacles?  You are most probably wealthy enough to not have to live in an area where racial/cultural tension hangs in the air on a daily basis so when you talk about "art and culture helping us to break down boudaries", do you really think that the gangs of black blokes who steal from people or the white racist gang that is known in my area will give a sh*t about arts and culture? No, they bloody well don't. Get real.

  • So what's she supposed to do instead?

  • Speak truth to power and support the genuine social movements struggling against elite globalization, exploitation and capitalism.

  • shes sposed to act not lecture us on a subject she knows nothing about.

  • she not only is a actress but she also studied english litature! Kudos for her

  • i hope that remark about kudos to her was sarcastic, because otherwise you're incinuating that someone who is au fait with the works of Shakespeare and other old texts are qualified to analyse the sociopolitical climate of our time. Listen, I don't dispute what she's doing here (trying to bridge cultural gaps using her fame), but she is deluded in thinking that the WAY you bridge cultural differences is by "listening to their stories" as she puts it. She has no idea.

  • Yes it was.... she is a smart person but she is getting in way too deep, but we really doo need help with racismm and maybe one day we are going to be able to stop it

  • Yes it was.... she is a smart person but she is getting in way too deep, but we really doo need help with racismm and maybe one day we are going to be able to stop it

  • She went to Cambridge. She's educated and intelligent. Don't dismiss her thoughts just because she's a talented actor as well.

  • shes awesome but..

    WTF IS ON HER HEAD?!

  • Aww she is lovely lady

    xxx

  • Amen sister!

  • Racism will never end.

  • So yeah... the Trelawney 'disguise' is VERY effective!

  • Splendid video! (yup - 'splendid' is currently my word for 'cool' etc) Emma rocks. I had no idea that she played Trelawney in Harry Potter, until I happened on a HP quiz called 'name that actor' on Facebook. I've no idea why I've explained all this.

  • this lady can think! i am so relieved  to know people are trying to think thoughts that aren't just spoon fed straight from the government!

    go england !

    america we still have some work to do.

  • please tell me you're joking!

    please you just can't be serious!

    i thought it was impossible for someone to be as unhumored and brainless as you!

    think before you type or just don't type at all!

  • I love Emma Thompson!!

  • sigh all of todays problems are caused by christianity and all of those other mythological religions and all their wars

  • Sure, organized religions don't help, but remember: they were banned in the USSR.

    Was the USSR a paradise? Did it solve all its problems? Did it refrain from making war on its neighbors?

    No? What a surprise.

    Perhaps it's human nature we need to change.

  • Damn you, Dra!!!

    You screw with the world...Cure of cancer my ass!!! =DDDDDDDDD

  • bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bb

  • Kill the Jews and Christians. That's how to solve the world's problems. And vote Obama 08!

  • Oh, gee. Kill milliions of people. THAT will solve the violence problem.

    You may be an atheist but there's nothing liberal about your bloodlust. Foolish, yes. Liberal, no.

  • Oh, gee. Kill millions and millions of people; THAT will solve the voilence problem!

    You may be an atheist, but there's nothing liberal about your bloodlust. Foolish, yes. Liberal, no.

  • first of all you would have to kill every living thing in the world fort there to actually be peace. but i know you're joking so i'm not going to post a comment as stupid as the other guy already did ! however i still gave you thumbs down because if you make jokes that offend people because they're too stupid to understand them then please just don't include the name of the presidential whom i like.

  • Is universal mediocrity a price worth paying for social equality, Emma?

  • search drunken putski

  • Terrible afro

  • Glad to see you address and respond to this Emma! Though I must express a difference of opinion. I don't think these are really walls "WE" put up walls between us. I believe the mass media does that. So, I think we need to address that, how, and WHY. Yes, the personal stories are important! But we need the BIG picture too. Thanks. :)

  • The governemnt announce that 15,000 Polish people will come to this country-slightly inaccurate as 850,000 plus actually arrive.

    The business leaders end up very happy as they now have their cheap, hardworking new workforce.

    One question though, how long will the poles be taken for mugs?

  • Part Two.

    Gordon Brown goes away and has a chat with his colleagues about this-Tony and the motley crew in the cabinet!

    Poland gains entry to the common market, oh happy days for Gordon, Tony etc.

  • Part One.

    Business leaders lobbied Gordon Brown-when he was still the Chancellor in 2005-regarding the labour situation in this country.

    They basicaally needed 'fresh blood' in the country.

  • The middle-class love immigrants, especially if they are cleaners, plumbers etc.

    Then they can pay them below the going rate and boast to their friends about how hard working they are!!!!

  • Large numbers of immigrants arriving in a country do not affect people like Emma Thompson. She can sit in her ivory tower pontificating about the problem, but never be affected by it in a negative way.

    As each new wave of people arrive in a country, so the middle-class, liberal elites focus will switch to them.

    They read their copy of the Guardian in the morning, while at the same time crying into their bowl of All-Bran!

  • I think it's absolutely brilliant that Emma took the time to respond - she knows where her priorities are and I think it's great.

    She's right, we need to listen to each other's stories. I personally have a story that I want to share, although it doesn't center around racism, I think sometimes baring your soul can really open doors.

  • Blake Sanden <---- GoooooGle That

    .

  • wigg

  • wtf is she rambling on about, have you seen the current state of this world....you can't change shit.

    the over/under of earth lasting is 100 years

  • Earth will be fine, it's the people/animals that are in trouble.

  • but she's not american?!?!?!?

  • Is that her hair?

  • No...Shes just moving it around and theres hair comming from the bottom that is a different color

  • BLAKE sanden <--- <--- <--- GOOOOOGLE that

  • listen to how far weve come matchbox twenty and you will start to think about what we are going to be in the end

  • i have a dream, that i can encourage everyone to love the Lord thy God with all strength, mind, and heart. this proves to be an enduring task.but i would appreciate it if you could repost this message a few times even if you don't care.

  • How is she fake?

  • I don't get it but it's Tralawny!!!!!

    (Sorry forgot how to spell it)

  • Are you in the beyond? :P

  • she's saying quite a bit actually

  • yes she is we really shoul aske our selfs what is that we wnat for our future world peace,love & happiness or ethe life of Palistine,isreal,sudan

    we really need to step it up a bit in the world the song by matchbox 20 says it all

  • Extraterrestrial beings control all patterns going in and out of your computer, so why are you still tuning in? Emma basically elicits affection through a Zeno prophecy known for 15000 years of enslavement of the Earthian creatures. She is so beautiful. I love her even if she is down with Zeno.

  • ROTFLMAO!

  • really hard to take her seriously sporting the RABBIT FRO

  • GERMANS ARE THE BEST !!!

    lol, I got YOU for a moment,...I am joking,..

    LOVE ALL SERVE ALL !!!

  • The small mammal would really like to have its fur back Emma but it is some consolation to the wee creature that your head will be most warm this winter.

  • EMBRACE OTHER CULTURES AND RACES, EVERYONE IS NICE AND GOOD, LOVE AND PEACE!

    NOT. Idiots.

  • What the fuck is with that hat??? Seriously

  • alot of ignorant fucks around here

  • It's idiotic to think you'll end racism and discrimination.  It's human nature to be this way. Blacks are just as racist against whites as whites are against blacks. The solution is racial separation: separate but respectful.

  • look at my guitar hero vids rate and comment subscrbibe(ps i blow an airhorn in my air in one of my videos)

  • absolutely spot on!

  • OMG get your guns, the davos convention marks the beginning of the apocolypse...

    Thats it, Im moving to montana, starting my compound....

  • maybe you've put up walls, most people don't put up walls

  • Jesus Christ.....race isn't real it's an artifical sociological construct. It's not natural. People like the woman in this video are using it and propagating its existence to cause conflict, not solve it.

  • Of course race is real you moron. It's a biological reality: my skin is white, a blacks mans is black, an Asians is light brown, etc.

  • Hold on, hold on! Race is NOT a biological thing. A hundred years ago some white people conducted "scientific studies," and thought that the different ethnicities were shaped differently, which is ridiculous. Race is a social construct - there is absolutely no biological difference between Asians, Hispanics, African Americans, and Caucasians. We're all the same! And you really ought not to call people names, y'know, it's not very becoming.

  • Let's say you're right an there is no biological difference. Now we are left with something that surpasses race and that is culture. I live by black people. My city is 95% black and due to their culture alot of them are fucking niggers. Black people are great but niggers are niggers. And dont let me start on white niggers. What is the biggest shame is when a white girl gets with a nigger and has a child. Not a black man. I mean a sorry ass nigger gangsta wannabe.

  • Sub to our page

  • heart that hat :)

  • what was the point of this no1 should be racist so this Zennie62 person should kepp his/her opinioins to herself

  • Nothing wrong with walls. They separate and hold things up. Even Robert Frost said "Good fences make good neighbors." Many voices have many opinions, thus there will never be world peace. Build a wall= peace and quiet for all!

  • Multiculturalism is a a fraud. It is one way, whereas the West bends and bends and bends to outside influences while the favor is never returned on their end. It ends when the bend goes too far and the West breaks.

    Western Leftists, including many elected leaders are helping promote this.
