First, SA is not a "white" country. There has always been more people of color than there are whites. You don't consider them "people", that's why they're, in the words of Ralph Ellison, "invisible men" to you. Now, these SA whites flee to Canada, USA, New Zealand, all stolen land which whites are not indigenous to. If Euro countries are so tolerant, why aren't these SA whites move back to their native land? Thieves only prosper among other thieves is the reason. Whites still do very well.
@Microglia1 blah,blah,blah...it is because we know how to get what we want and you have to wait for a handout. why are you bitching because whites leave - isn't it more beneficial for you so your black bro's can work the land...oh wait...they still need to murder 5000 old white folk before they can get the farm and then they will house the house as a chicken coop. blacks...i don't know hey bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@tinmiss Black people built Egypt, taught Greeks to make fire, and translated scientific texts while your ancestors huddle in caves to avoid a little rain. Your argument is getting old, that when black people rule, everything goes to shit. Tell me this, why is a black men ruling the most powerful country on Earth, namely the USA? And why is the USA still all powerful after nearly 3 years under black rule?
@Microglia1 you are joking right about the usa being "ruled" by a black man!!!! the president of the usa is black, he is not a black ruler. Egyptians buildt Egypt, Greeks...what the heck. If the black man did all these wonderful things what happened to them? And please, please don't tell me that white men came to ruine it. If blacks were so much smarter and powerful they must have had the knowledge on how to to protect themselves. Sigh!!!
@tinmiss If you apply yourself to the discipline of history, then you should know that civilizations hit peaks and troughs over the years. Look at the Middle East, East Asia and Meso America. Great indigenous civilizations thrived there and it was only recently that wars brought chaos to these parts of the world. Same with Al-Andalusian Iberia, before the formation of Latin speaking countries. You're lucky to live at a time where your peoples thrive, but that'll all change for next few decades
@Microglia1 my people, as you put it, will always thrive because we are different. we look at what can we do while you look at look what has been done to me. as about the other civilizations - every other civilization has a written account of their conquers, their failures and their achievements except black civilizations. is it true though that becasue they have always been ruled by thugs and thieves that they got rid of their brain trusts through murders on the way to power. Blacks=whining
@tinmiss I esp. like "...through murders on the way to power". You're a hypocrite. Where are you from? Which country hasn't attained power through force? In the case of SA, this WAS NOT the case. For if there was a war for black people to gain power, rest assured that there wouldn't be any whites left in my country.
@Microglia1 south africa had more wars for territory than you can imagine.take take and read the history of the zulu wars, the xhoza wars, the reason bulawayo became the be in existance, the ndebele uprising. make an effort.there is no way blacks can organise a war unless they drug their youth, kill their second in commands and be high all the time."Which country has not attained power through force" the wisest words today as ALL COUNTRIES DID. even the ones in africa so don't pin it on whites.
@tinmiss What do you know about Africa? What languages do locals speak? What are our customs? You really don't know shit. Your whole viewpoint is full of stereotypes. No wonder your ignorant ass is not welcomed anywhere in the world.
@Microglia1 i know that africa is riddled with aids (3000 people die a week in zimbabwe from it), i know that juluis malema who failed year 12 with 6 Fs is going to be your next president, i know that they build open toilets for their citizens, i know that it does not matter how much you curse whites but the moment they leave, within a few years, the country will exist of semi-educated fools like yourself. good luck
@tinmiss Not sure if you know this, but I'm not "black". I am colored. My family originated from the East Indian subcontinent and am Muslim. We've been in SA for hundreds of years. You're a racist so you just assume I'm black.
First, Sough Africa is not a "white" country. There has always been more people of color than there are whites. You don't consider them "people", that's why they're, in the words of Ralph Ellison, "invisible men" to you. Now, these SA whites flee to Canada, USA, New Zealand, all stolen land which whites are not indigenous to.

Awesome, gave me goosies. I think its just a visual method of getting the idea of "putting yourself in someone else's shoes". I don't see it as political, just thought provoking. Well done.
never discriminate anyone as it will be unpleasant if you are being discriminated..what you have done in the past will bounce back to you afterwards...and remember there is KARMA...
Honestly people, the ad was NOT BANNED. I remember this commercial as part of the Ya Mampela launch, it aired for quite a while and was broadly positively received, and won multiple awards.
"It's been described as one of the best advertisements ever - ... And now the multiple award-winning duo behind it, Festus Masekwameng and Lapeace Kakaza, have joined forces with Tshebo Mokoena to start their own agency, MotheRussia"
Is it that difficult to verify a false claim before blindly repeating it?
Interesting..altough throughout europe there was poverty more than once white people still swept and kept their house clean and did not sit outside the street in their own filth. its one thing we can't immitate the black man on..by the way what country are the cars in the video made in? perhaps Kenya?
@TheAngelAbandoned I disagree with your analysis. Tell me, do you think rich folks don't pollute their environment? Oh yes ofcs they do far more..ooohh and who cleans up after them?? Obviously the poorer individual from a lower class. Oh yeah what about where the poorer person lives...? Who provides municipal cleaning???? Nobody. That's how it works.
@ToughestMilkman Wow, how old are u? Oh and do u knw anything about socioeconomic factors? Well I will enlighten u, u see 1stly the scale of poverty in SA compared to Europe is much greater and the resources to combat that r far less. Richer folks, live in neighborhoods wher the government facilitates the disposal of garbage, wher the streets are dust free bcz of the tar roads that r built. Ofcs u would consider that a basic standard of living in Europe because the place is more industrialized.
@ToughestMilkman So ofcs the image of cleanliness is nt depicted in areas wher ther is overpopulation and wack housing systems. Howevr all of that is changn bcz of the way the gvmnt is directin its resources. If u lived in South Africa u would knw that the ppl sittn outside on the video describes the women who wrk in the suburbs as maids on their lunch breaks..*mmh I wonder why they r meetn outside* and the ladies with the hairdryer represent the women who do business on the streets (hairdrsn)
@ToughestMilkman Next time, think before you pass judgment on other people's living circumstances because clearly your statements have no bases of understanding. This video was merely tryn to show people out there that if the world was seen from the other person's eyes then perhaps we would have a better understanding about where they are coming frm and what it is they need. Understandn wher someone is coming from is the greatest thing you can ever do for yourself, black or white, rich or poor.
The only reason PEOPLE IN GENERAL lock their doors at a stop is because people do get hijacked. Its not a race thing,its just the reality of the matter.
@xmcnabbx What's so weird about that? I live in the USA and we have carjackings here too. My car locks its doors automatically once I get in it and reach 15 miles an hour. Although this design is for general safety - carjacking threat wasn't a factor. This feature can be turned off whenever I want.
no its not they just swaped the white people with the black people i had a house that looks like the 1 at 0:58 you dont see all of the house though but its massive
This was worth waiting a lifetime to watch. I've always dreamed of making a play to exhibit this to make the world see what our world looks like. I LOVED IT!
