Recently watched the episode of the lawyer- my favourite so far as the lady was very inspiring. You are inspiring a whole new generation both in the east and beyond. The experiences of those living in C-19 region's also very useful, helpful and informative. I hope you keep going and being a beacon. Take much care.🧡

Thank you so much for making this channel! I am Japanese living in Germany for 10 years. Ive learned so much about racial issue outside of Japan. I hope you translate this show in Japanese for race education for Japanese people. Most of the vision Japanese has about black people are created by white people and I think we can be very problematic due to our innocent (also ignorance ) lack of acknowledging race issue outside of Japan.

He had his s--t together and he has a positive attitude about himself and what he is capable of doing and more, not letting the negativity of people get in his way. U go young man and I'm proud of U. Keep up the good work because whether u know this or not u are setting an excellent example for your ethnicity and being an American.

I think it's important for one to have the emotional strength, astuteness, and intellectual sophistication to ignore ignorant people. I'm one of the few African Americans on my college campus and I get stared at often. But I just ignore them, go about my business, and elevate myself above the hoi polloi. These simple-minded street peasants, whether of European or Japanese descent, hold subconscious ideas that are irrelevant. The ones who treat us with love, compassion, and respect as INDIVIDUALS are the only ones the matter. The rest can rot in their own stupidity. If one truly wants to be open-minded, they will seek to become that way on their own.

@Miguel Lewis May be all one needs, if you, a STRANGE ONE, is getting "stared at" in a 'foreign environment' is that ALL minds are drawn to 'newness'? People stare at you PRIMARILY because you are new to them. Yes, they are 'ignorant people', but not the disparaging way you are projecting the ignorance of those staring: They are "ignorant" of experiencing an African. You stand out; and as a result, YOU NATURALLY DRAW attention! Don you not know (you should know) that if a non-African person goes to Africa, that STRANGER WILL ALSO get "stared at"? It is because that non-African stranger is a new experience for the staring African. In other words, if you are in a new environment where your kind is not part of common experience, you are most likely to draw attention. Differences draw stares. Even YOUR attention is drawn to newness, drawn to a new experience. It is natural.

@@nirbija Though I've never been to Africa, I've been to other sabotaged nations in Latin America. The stares I received there were ones of awe and curiosity. People who stared also smiled. I don't mind a SMILING curious stare from a curious person. For example, I was one of the few Americans in a poor part of Belize but every man, woman, and child who ever stared at me did so with inviting eyes and a slight smile. They even introduced themselves to me and sparked a conversation, even if English wasn't their native language. I experienced something similar in Montreal, even though Montreal is notorious for its Languagism against English speakers like myself. So no nirbija, there's no excuse for their fearful stares. They've allowed the media to control their minds and they don't seek to mentally liberate themselves. The compassionate, open-minded, logical ones will forever have my respect though.

@@@MiguelDLewis "Belize"? lol "Latin America"? "Montreal"? lol Those are places that have an abundance of experiences with your kind and every other kind of people over a long long time. From them, you are less likely to get a stare; because your kind is not all that new to them. If you travel wide enough, you are going to recognize that not all cultures are 'smiling cultures'. And some cultures are very very protective of their Cultural Integrity. Japanese are of those cultures that are rigid, and therefore guarded and protective. They place a very very high value on their Cultural Integrity. Also, because a government may hand out visitors to people from foreign cultures, it does not mean that every citizen is going foreigner is invited guests. After all, not all of the citizens invited the foreigner guests. If you invite a guest to your home, must all of your family members also feel as fuzzy as you about YOUR guest? Not all citizens need feel welcoming of FOREIGN guests. And neither should they; because some 'guests' are evil invaders!

@@@Eliburgo In YOUR OWN HOME, you have that legitimate right, like everyone else in their own home, to be as "extreme" as whatever you want to be! A home/nation is generally accepted (and rightly so) to be an INVIOLABLE space of the owner/host. Unless one has the larcenous heart of a delusional and brazen invader, no GUEST should be expecting equal rights and equal access as the hosts. Not all homes will be welcoming! Some homes/nations are more welcoming than others. That is alright: It is for the HOSTS to determine just how much welcoming they want to be towards GUESTS. After all, no GUEST is compelled to be in the home space of hosts? Not appreciating the REALITY of Cultural Integrity is for those who are lost and without the defining set of cultural behaviors, which are essential in providing EVERY GROUP (and every member of said group) with its Cultural Identity, which distinguishes one group of human form from another ... in terms of behavior. Foolishly labeling a group as being 'extreme xenophobic' is for odious OUTSIDERS (the invader-type) who delude themselves that they should have equal/easy access to the home space of others. I for one would never have interests in even visiting Japan on account of their horrid history and lack of regret and repentance towards their fellow Asian neighbors. But I'll be damn if I will cease to defend Japanese INVIOLABLE rights to THEIR home! Everyone has to have a home on the planet. A 'MAN'S HOME IS HIS CASTLE' are words of wisdom that is worth imprinted indelibly in your consciousness! Because YOU ALSO may need to defend (or should have defended) your home from uninvited guests/HOME INVADERS WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!

As a black male, what's very evident to me is that we humans need to redefine our relationships. Media does a fine job of distributing information to multitudes but it also is captive to the prejudices of those who are disseminating and transmitting such information. And we, as viewers, are often lazy when it comes to accepting Media's interpretations of culture and morality. We allow Media to think for us, rather than absorbing that information and processing it through the filters of our personal experiences, logic, and the simple common sense of empathy. We compartmentalize ourselves and each other, which, I think, is part of human survival instincts, but it can be harmful when we live solely by that way of looking others and determining who we find to be acceptable or not. We find ourselves accepting monsters simply because they resemble ourselves and rejecting angels simply because they don't. But when we meet people who are so open, bright and willing to buck commonly accepted norms, it is such a joy! It's so nice when people are willing to bust their preconceived notions of who people are and find someone totally new underneath the veil of fear, ignorance, and assumption. Oftentimes, we see such qualities in children. I enjoy watching these videos, mostly because they echo the time I spent in Japan years ago. It makes me want to go back to Nihon even though my present life is revolving around possibly living in Brazil. They remind me to be open to new experiences and people. Great job, Sondey!

7:16 This is so important. Living in America being jaded so much, it will have you thinking that not just America but everywhere in the world is racist again Africans and Black people. They want you to think this so that we can continue accepting the abuses and injustices against us in America. In reality other Nations may be unfamiliar with Blacks(like they are with other people's as well) but tbh I don't think it is as bad. There may be some ignorance hehe and there, but do we have to face and fear mass incarceration like in the US? No. Do we have to worry about police shooting is dead unarmed en mass like in America? No. I think we as Black people need to have an open mind when thinking about other countries. Of course there are some that may be ignorant and dislike us, but there are also many who Love us as well. We have to remember the Love and not dwell on the hate. Of course be aware and on guard but also make sure we remember that we are beloved as well. Just like many people admire Japanese culture, Indian, Latino etc. There are many that love a Black culture as well. No matter what depiction the US media tries to paint

If you ask Japanese people why their eyes are slanted and How is it that they don’t stumbled into things? They would look at you like you Were the most ignorant person on the planet. Try it sometime and see what the reaction is

why fight fire with fire ...its not willfull ignorance atall and you know youre lying to yourself... a homogeneous society and you expect them to understand ... dont even bring there "theres internet use it" argument because not everyone is isnt american is that interested in race politics .... you see something new you tend to point it out and if youre corrected then youve learnt something new.... dont be a clown

Hey Sondey, I am in the Bronx too and currently learning Japanese as well. I hope I can get there in another 5 years.

Yes I'm really impressed with him too!! He really is a free spirit and reminds me of a younger Thomas Sowell (wrt eloquence NOT political beliefs)

2 minutes in, I don't see color or ethnicity. All I see is a beautiful person well spoken, sharing his truth, reminds me qualities in one another 😀

Great content. I would love it more if you wrote down the questions asked to them. It's challenging to follow these amazing stories if you don't know the questions asked. Keep up the good work!
