And what makes you think blacks hate America? I'm sure that if they were fed up enough, they would have left a long time ago. Just because we attach African to our name, it doesn't make us any less of Americans. I mean...where were black people before the Europeans brought them to America? In Africa. You can't just expect African Americans to just diss their roots because they are in another country.

Okay listen girl!! that said stuff about dark and light skin yeah right just cause your dark doesnt meen your not pretty you are gorgouse PROMISE!!!

[Elicia Huggins]

<----- Black, smart, natural, white boyfriend... Yep, all black people are ratchet. -_-

[Byron Anderson]

You are right, history has lied, White and Spaniards didn't bring Africans to America, the Africans got into a speed boat and came here because they were bored. Some even walked over and hung themselves but blamed the KKK. I don't know why we Blacks are blaming all this evil on the poor innocent White people when all you ever did was tried to love us.

im tired of white people sayin why do you put grease in your hair

it gets on my nevers who agrees

[kiddyuknot]

black privilege teaches that your rightful place is that of a king or queen

that the world is yours and was stolen from you

how is that better than what whites and white privilege is suppose to represent

its not

you are good no matter your race IF YOU ACT GOOD

when a white bully calls a white kid ugly,, its wrong

same white bully saying ugly to a black child doesnt make him a racist

he is just a bully

the wrong message is being taught

Guess what, fuck shit, I'm black and my boyfriend is white. Also, I was at the top of my class at an all white school. c: Let me know when your head implodes.

The most heartbreaking moment in this video is between 4:22 and  4:54. This makes me want to adopt the darkest little girl that I can find and make her feel like a queen.

Perceptions are strange. In my family I was the lightest and was made fun of...

Great short film, As far as culture, so many Black Americans were probably mixed around in many of the areas in America and much of it is just a blend of cultures... as is what much of American culture is today. I don't really know, just a thought. In my own opinion I would hope that everyone is beautiful, no mater color, or nationality. To me what makes a person uglier than another is a bad attitude.
