Not all lebanese are racist..you can find racism among any people in any country.. Its not right to say alot of racism comes from arabs.. Racism comes from every race.. And to say alot of arabs are racist and rant about how black skin is better is its own form of racism. Your making it seem like being black or african is better anyways.

@ginaincolor Stop taking someone words out of content. Jazmine never said all Lebanese or arabs are racist. She was just tallking about something she had gone through and how she made it a positive. STOP! JEEZ! What wrong with you people always trying to create a problem. Why you creating hate. It's wrong ya know.

This video was in no way trying to make people argue about Arabs being racist or not. Control yo selves! It was about turning the negative into a positive. It's about loving yourself. It wasn't about tearing down a whole race because they are just rude :P. Take Care.

Africa is ALL our motherland, we're all Africans :)

Mashallah, your beauty radiates from inside of you. I whole heartedly agree with everything you've said. Being African, Ethiopian, we experience the same racism/prejudice in Arab communities.

I loved your vlog and being African and proud.

I thinkit is that whites are less OPENLY racist than arabs not necessarily less racist. Also, I didn't think you were being reverse racist or making dark skin seem superior, but just pointing out the many good qualities of being a dark skinned person since we have so many negative stereotypes associated with our skin color and people. I am also african btw.

We are half Arab, half African Jasmine and we speak the best Arab accent among all Arabs. I am proud to be Sudanese and proud of you too sister. Keep it up and just ignore all these stupid comments and I am sure you will succeed more and more.

@markee871 my mother in law lives in lebanon and she constantly gets rude comments and gets treated bad :(

[xsaaghix]

@ginaincolor She didnt say all lebanese are racist and she did not say racism comes frm arab ...re watch the video ..she never said that she was bettter than other because she has brown skin you took it in the negative connotation and flipped it to help your argument which is not solid, she wasnt talking about the racism in the Uk,U.S or india she is talking her personal experience and it happened to be with Arabs. get over it and stop making it into something it isnt.

For some reason that made me think of the saying "Good black don't crack."

Your beautiful MashaAllah ..May Allah keep you strong and protect you !!! luv ya <3

@ginaincolor Also, there are 3 races in the world(Black,White,Asian). Trust me, Arabs have a history of racism. Recently they seem to have a obsession with white people. Go on every Forum and you will see that Arab women ALWAYS post pics of white babies/white singers as their avatars. There is a lot of self hatred. It's no secret. Also, Ive seen many sudanese who look Italian or Spanish with hair down their back and wide beautiful eyes, lighter skin,as I said before. Sudan is the most diverse.

@ginaincolor Im sorry but your argument makes no sense. So if ther eis racism in America that means racism is ok. So what if racism is everywhere! we as Muslims should set the example. Also, Arabs were NEVER part of the white race. Europeans will never accept Arabs as white people. If you read your history you would know that Arabs originally were proud of their darker skin color and wrote poems about that. Since Islam spread, Muslims intermarried Persians/Romans/Ottomans..aka lighter skin
