Great video by the way, it should really get more views. Racism and racist attitudes are at the core of why the world is at war. Racism is about ignorance and lack of empathy.
Not sure whether youre concerned about racism issues, but you should know about a "Sinterklass"/Christmas celebration in the Netherlands and Flanders every 5&6 December. It dates from 1850, although there are a lot of revisionist explanations, it is a bunch of white Dutch people in blackface minstrel outfits, who they call "Zwarte Piet" (literally "Black Pete") who are Santa's slaves. If you think this might be inherently racially offensive I urge you to search youtube and leave comments
This leaves me to wonder if all people in Belgium and most other countries see black people through this type of semantics... It's foolish to live in the past tense of culture, why can't people finally view all people of color as...People? It's sad.
However, no matter how I feel watching this, I can't help but notice the type of attitude most individuals from Belgium whom are black and how, in my opinion, they seem to rather accept other terms than just the term: A man. Or how about, a human? Though I can somewhat fathom the point you are trying to say..
Your video was...disturbing at most to be, being that I'm a child of African descent. I, personally, do not fully...enjoy most of the points within your video that show how other countries, other than the United States, view black people.
