Hearted Youtube comments on The Guardian (@theGuardian) channel.

  1. I think the old woman identifies as black because her mother looked black (though very light skinned), and it's a way for her to honor her mother. She also looks slightly black herself, but her daughter definitely does not and I can understand her not wanting to identify as black because no one will see her as black.

  2. Black Americans love kung fu films and a lot like anime. Learning Japanese and Mandarin It's connecting cultures, kind of beautiful

  3. I really like this series. The lady isn't super judgemental and tries to understand. It's great to see.

  4. “people don’t like what they don’t understand but people aren’t trying to understand what they don’t like either” these kids are so bright

  5. You should be proud, Iman. This series is only the beginning. Looking forward to seeing/hearing more from you soon!

  6. This guy is doing some of the best journalism in the UK now. Getting a real sense of the country by talking to the people in their communities. Insightful and instructive. Top class.

  7. Excelent professionals and very human sensitive portrait. Congratulations all of you.
    719
  8. The illustrations and graphics for this are brilliant
    717
  9. This is great. I'm only commenting so that youtube algorithms counts this as engagement and boosts the visibility of the video. Great work, keep it up.

  10. RIP Bruce Lee and Jim Kelly.

  11. Caballeros existed in North America before any other "cowboys". Horses were used to establish supply routes and move supplies all throughout California. In the late 1700s and early 1800s. Spain and Mexico owned, farmed and ran horses and cattle in the western territories. Black and white cowboys modeled themselves after caballeros.

  12. This series is awesome. I wish you had a separate channel just for this series. It's really interesting and fresh and exciting!

  13. “I represent people who are stepped over and ignored” . That gave me chills. We ALL should be doing what we can.
    564
  14. Josephine is beautiful on the out and the inside, I admire her. Those children live under harsh conditions, I wish there problems end soon.
    560
  15. This entire series has been extremely refreshing. & its not because you are touching on any groundbreaking stuff or discovering anything that we didn’t already know , but because you are approaching a subject thats been given such negative publicity in the mainstream as of late with such open arms and an open mind . And you are gladly accepting this might be something you aren’t fully educated on, therefore you chose to go and listen instead of assuming you already knew what men felt and how we thought. A big pat on the back, and more of this kind of investigative journalism (for lack of a better phrase) please Guardian. x
    527
  16. Iman, You really need to be proud of the way you perform your job. I have profoundly enjoyed the long interview in Episode 2. I find your approach so refreshing and just feels " new " every time, beutiful laugh also.
    523
  17. The question should not be "Is Finland the best place in the world to have a child?" but "Is Finland the best place in the world to be a parent?"
    511
  18. All my respect, admiration and support to these brave Russian women who represent the best of the Russian people, who represent the best of humanity. From Spain, thanks to The Guardian for this great video document. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
    461
  19. This was the first intelligent and enlightened journalistic contribution on this topic I met.
    450
  20. Incredibly brave strong women
    435
  21. Because it was promoted right after Soul Train on Saturday's. And because it was a stress reliever to watch people get their instant Karma. And because Kung Fu is fun to watch. All the different techniques and crazy sound affects. The long excursions just to avenge teachers death.🤣 And I think I had a small crush on bruce lee😄. Kung Fu is sexy😍
    429
  22. I'm not crying, you're crying...
    426
  23. The women who started this project are strong and inspiring. "They have jobs but they can't live" - that really stuck out to me. Thank you for caring so much.
    408
  24. This video got me off guard and everything was blurred at the end... What can I say to express my gratitude to these professionals? Is a thank you enough? I wish I could support their psychological rehabilitation somehow... Is there a fundraiser for that?
    406
  25. Many thanks for sharing this inspiration and spending time at our home, Others inspired me to do this for my son and others and hope this video inspires more to do the same, Open Source, Team Unlimbited have done wonders for this technology, without it my son still wouldn't have a left hand, they inspired me to do this, many thanks for sharing and viewing it best wishes Callum Miller (aka Dad) and Jamie Miller
    355
  26. This is really interesting! It felt like a realistic and human perspective on the whole topic.
    349
  27. The government cannot simply seize assets from a business so they cannot seize assets from private schools as well
    346
  28. Bloody love this series
    345
  29. I'm hesitant to say I enjoy such programming given the often depressing subject matter, but what you guys have done will stand the test of time. Timeless journalism. Well done.
    335
  30. Δεν έχω λόγια για το τι περνάνε οι γιατροί μας και οι νοσηλευτές μας..... Γιατροί το 2015 να αγοράζουν από το φαρμακείο γάζες και ταινίες. Νεαρή γιατρό, με πυγμή όχι καμία ευαισθητουλα, να κλαίει και να μου λέει δεν μπορώ να σου μιλήσει χάνω άνθρωπο, ήταν μια γιαγιά άνω των 90. Εξοντωτικές βάρδιες κτλπ. Νοσηλεύτηκα 2 μήνες και μπορώ να πω ότι με περιέθαλψαν άνθρωποι κι όχι απλά επαγγελματίες. Δεν χρειάζονται τα παλαμάκια μας αλλά να είμαστε καλοί ασθενείς όπως μου είπε μια νοσηλεύτρια. Η όλη κατάσταση δεν έπληξε μόνο εμάς ψυχολογικά πολύ περισσότερο αυτούς όπως και σωματικά. Θα ήθελα όμως να πουν κι αυτοί την αλήθεια. Καλή δύναμη τους εύχομαι γιατί δεν τελείωσαν, θα ακολουθήσουν κι άλλα.
    332
  31. This series has been really outstanding: many thanks to everyone involved.
    329
  32. I broke at "No matter what I had to go through, I still stood for black".
    313
  33. Such a fascinating video; capturing the public mood in such a raw and compassionate way as always.
    313
  34. Wow. I am saddened, enlightened, then given hope. Very moving.
    307
  35. Jim Kelly is underrated, he did not get the credit he deserves. No Wesley Snipes, Michael Jai White without Jim Kelly.
    302
  36. He seems to be a good row model.
    297
  37. Did you just forget to ask that quantum physics student "what did you think about the electron?" instead of "What did you think of the election?" ?!?! >:(
    267
  38. Another honest and open-minded entry. And such an important topic in 2019.
    263
  39. This is awesome! Both the quality and content but also the subject. As a mid 30s man, also on social media, I'm incredibly bombarded with younger men dealing with issues and I don't know where to guide them too.
    257
  40. This is a fantastic series.
    252
  41. These are the best political videos around! No grand narratives, no flashy sound bites, just real people expressing their views
    252
  42. Very good video! It covers all the relevant issues regarding that heated topic. Other points worth mentioning are: Cycle helmets are only designed to protect the rider at impact speeds of 15 miles an hour or less. The main life-threatening injury for a cyclist in a serious collision is crushing injuries and the resulting internal bleeding, shock, organ failure etc. I myself found that I took more risks while wearing a cycle helmet than without one. My best advice for keep cars at bay; wearing a flapping jacket. They give you more room as a result. Chris Boardman's advice at the end is excellent; it should be the rider's choice to wear a helmet. One final note; crossing the road as a pedestrian is much more dangerous, per metre travelled, than riding a bike. If anyone should be compelled to wear a helmet, according to the hard evidence, it first needs to be anyone who crosses a road.
    247
  43. Long may this series continue
    247
  44. A person's identity can be a very complex thing!
    236
  45. As a black kid growing up, my house was full of kung fu movies. It was my main thing to watch during the vcr and dvd era. I had no idea where it came from, but it was loved by everyone in my house as was there before i was born. I never thought about why i like shows like that. Anime's are the same as well. I love anime's where the main character is discriminated and then comes back to exact revenge. Proving to people that they are wrong about their assumptions is a huge driving force in entertainment for me. I remember watching romeo must die so much as a kid.
    235
  46. so glad this series is back, needed now more than ever
    233
  47. This has been one of the best YouTube series ever. Such honest and objective journalism. It's really appreciated.
    226
  48. I like this journalist, tries to really understand why people vote the way they do and investigate what's driving these feelings. Rare in our modern times
    225
  49. Great journalism. Thank you for making my day. The guy with red truck shines hope to the hopeless and those who think America is done.
    218
  50. Dan was a great person to speak to for this segment. A true gentleman and savage great representative of the sport
    214
  51. 80% of the world's soybean crop is fed to livestock, so you missed the compounding effect of increased deforestation via cattle/livestock which needs more feed, hence an increase in soy feed allows for more cattle/livestock.... it just keeps the cycle going and more damaging. Deforestation is bad regardless of speculation on climates changing or not.
    213
  52. Wow i am amazed to be one of the couriers in the video. I come in at 3.56...Ecourier hca medical D109. I am proud of what i do...saving peoples lives. I ride an 11 hour circuit everyday during the week with no paid holiday and £9 pounds an hour...Nice to meet everyone!
    206
  53. This series is actually brilliant. So much more insightful than what we see on mainstream news
    206
  54. Good job getting Hardy for the interview, one of the best minds in the game.
    203
  55. Great series and much appreciated for those who've experienced death anxiety. What helped me the most was learning that it's possible NOT to be afraid. If it's possible for others, it must be possible for me.
    201
  56. Thank you to these courageous professionals and all who are working so hard to keep us safe! ❤️
    199
  57. When the time is appropriate, I look forward to the black comedy film/BBC series of two book delivery men during a plague. Thank you for sharing their story — this was a unique take on what is happening in the world currently.
    194
  58. This is an example of the teaching power of lived experience and telling your story. Touching, moving, deep, powerful, thought provoking. A narration that shows you visibly shaken by the 'layer of defence' you had to use to survive and then coming to the realisation of 'who defines you'. Inspirational. You deserve a BAFTA!!! Thank you for sharing your story.
    193
  59. Can you please tell this people that actually radiation from Sun (ultraviolet) has been proven to cause harm to humans.
    191
  60. Don't worry about the country, worry about yourself. Sounds all lovely, positive and simple but it's rooted firmly into a selfish thinking that we have seen through out the 20th and 19th centuries. Cheers mate, but no way. We can't look after ourselves without ever looking out for eachother.
    187
  61. I'll admit I was a bit sceptical when I saw a series on Modern Masculinity pop up in my suggestions, but I have to say Iman, you've really blown me away with this. I'm really enjoying this series, and it's great to hear from all these different groups out there that are doing what they can to preserve masculinity in all its forms. It's made me want to look up if there's anything similar in my area so I can do my bit too. I can't help but feel if we had more 13 year olds like these boys, it'd be a much brighter future for men everywhere. Keep up the great work!
    183
  62. Great series really enjoyed it. Thanks
    179
  63. Thank you for giving both of these arguments equal time.
    174
  64. Iman, this episode filled my heart with joy, i get so happy hearing that these boys and young men have support and a group to go to for help. You are doing a great service for journalism and for the people you interview. Amazing, thank you.
    171
  65. What an adventure to talk to the guy that was actually running from you guys. I'm looking forward to the next countries
    169
  66. Absolutley amazing video, so heartbreaking to see recreational activities on this land, slowly be taken away x
    166
  67. I've always felt the black community kept the Kung fu craze alive ESPECIALLY in NYC
    165
  68. Thank you so much John and John for this series. Watched the whole thing now several times through and nothing else even comes close to giving a such visceral sense of the country like this does. Every new episode feels like an event, a chance to see what is really going on, how people are really feeling, and more than anything an opportunity to materially see the consequences of the distant headlines that we see every day. Thank You
    165
  69. In awe of these women’s courage. 👏👏👏
    163
  70. Thank you for sharing their story. For the people who gave this video a thumbs down, I hope you find peace and compassion one day.
    161
  71. The first lady interviewed on the streets of Canterbury was a breath of fresh air. This is the heavily working class, pragmatic about the EU, labour supporting silent majority that NEVER gets a look in on on mainstream vox pops.
    158
  72. Glad this is back
    155
  73. This series is so amazing. He is so amazing. What a kind and compassionate journalist.
    155
  74. Anywhere but Westminster is some of the best journalism in the UK.
    154
  75. Well said Owen
    153
  76. I've been watching since the first episode, and thought it worth dropping a comment to help make sure the negative comments don't skew the reaction to it. I've found the whole thing a very refreshing opportunity to hear speak honestly about how they feel about this issue, away from media that inevitably sensationalises it. It has been a reminder that, day-to-day, people just try to live their lives and the 'crises' we are told are happening often only exist when we are sat in front of a screen. You are absolutely right, making the series less typically 'journalistic' made the whole thing more engaging, and it was all the better for it. The audience should be trusted to understand these views aren't being presented as authoritative and we are therefore free to question them and reflect on them as we please. Good work, and I really hope you make more episodes.
    146
  77. Nothing but love for that young nurse with the glasses in the beginning. <3 Please take care of yourself too.
    140
  78. How would one go about creating a just giving page or something to fundraise for this lady? I'd help and I'm sure other people who have watched and commented would too - guardian pls reply
    135
  79. A bit of dust in the eye but massive respect to those people. With their mentality, all is not lost.
    126
  80. The only thing uplifting in this is John's persistence with that beard. I despair at everything else.
    125
  81. Who’s here after watching Dolemite is my name ?
    125
  82. In Jacksonville, Fl there’s a church that’s been around for many years. It’s a black church. When you go in you see portraits of the past pastors. Many of the portraits look like white been just like her. But in the day and age when her parents and grandparent grew up, if you had 1/8 black ancestry you had to identify as black even if white passing. So, that’s most likely why she identifies this way.
    122
  83. @6:49 she was serious and her baby picture right after wasn't having it.
    118
  84. I can’t put in words how important this series will be as a resource for those struggling with death anxiety (common and also not so common - interesting to read the comments/views/opinions, the variety shows how human all of these emotions are). Beautifully done. This is just so ‘real’. All I could ask for is more. Wholeheartedly, after watching this series, and although my emotions were a roller coaster, I felt more at peace with the entire idea of dying. If I could scale my fear of death from 1 to 10, 10 being extreme severe paranoia of death, I started at a 9, and now feel more at a 6-7. Work to be done, but that’s on me. This is a great start. THANK YOU.
    115
  85. this was interesting. The baby is so sweet. hope they all stay safe.
    110
  86. I'm from western NC and this story is not uncommon in the mountainous region of the south. White men raising (hiding) families with black women in the mountains is common. I know from experience but you can also reference "Loving" and "Having Our Say" etc
    110
  87. So touched by the support of Charlie
    106
  88. It’s shocking to see Jana on the Guardian documentary after long time passed since being colleagues in Sharm Elshiekh!! , I just want to say that I’m very proud of her and all the supporting team. For us in Egypt, the Middle East and I believe around the world, Lebanon is a symbol of style and living life wholeheartedly. Our hearts are with all Lebanese and we count on your courage and persistence to live happily no matter what happens to bypass this agony!
    106
  89. Guardian's documentaries are so much revealing about our societies. They hit nerves and ring bells.
    102
  90. Some were also Amerindian and Mestizo too
    101
  91. Great series so far, thanks.
    100
  92. Well done, to Poppy's Funeral Home and their staff, their very caring staff and to the mourners, who displayed great love and respect, at a time of great testing. RIP, Ian, whoever you were, are and will be. xx
    100
  93. This is fantastic Lynda, such an important topic to cover and really well produced. Thank you for sharing
    100
  94. On the one hand im really enjoying this series, on the other hand its frustrating that these conversations have been taking place, just been getting ignored/made fun of by MSM until now.. I am grateful for the balance in the journalism from Iman Amrani, I was that guy "typical guardian blah blah" but you've destroyed my prejudice with your quality work Thanks
    99
  95. extraordinary filmmaking, editing, storytelling. Bravo.
    96
  96. I’m glad that men are watching this series and asking themselves questions about how they identify in relation their own masculinity. We don’t talk to one another about these issues, so I am grateful to the guardian for bringing them to light
    96
  97. This is brilliant journalism..thank you
    93
  98. This is a great series. The amount of respect shown to the issue and the people is fantastic. And it shows as they, in turn, show respect to Iman and the team.
    91
  99. She's a brilliant lady. Speaking up for the struggling and the poor..bless her..♥️
    88
  100. FULL INTERVIEW NOW!
    86
  101. Astounding video. Props to the crew behind this one. I'd love to see more from the team.
    85
  102. Owen, your summing up is spot on. A split remain vote is sadly looking like it will happen.
    85
  103. Hi John and the team. I’ve been following your videos since I was 15 and is the sole reason why I chose politics and sociology as a degree which I started in 2017 and just finished. I can’t thank you enough for all these videos, every time they come out they inspire me about understanding the mundane which can teach us so much about the politics of the day. Please just keep produce these videos maybe focus on micro communities such as traditional market spaces vs newer trendier spaces and see how spaces compare. Also if there’s anyway to get involved. I’d love too, I honestly think this style of journalism is the best way to have debate and understand discourse. Please keep going. It will be interesting to understand urban spaces in a post covid world.
    85
  104. Fantastic Daniel - this was so insightful. It feels like children in the care system are demonised and not set up at all to lead fulfilling or safe lives once they leave.
    84
  105. This brought to light so many family situations that are serious and that I’d never have known about. Thanks, John. Well done.
    82
  106. His reply would be charged with negativity.
    81
  107. John, thank you for continuing this series. It really gives me hope, and has given me a better understanding of the British electorate than any other coverage over the last few years.
    80
  108. My dad got me started on Kung Fu movies and the appeal to me was the fact that a man would even have the ability to fight four to five men at once! It was almost like magic and the hero would ultimately be the underdog..
    80
  109. Hi Lynda, this is brilliant, well done. Hopefully it will make a few people with some power in this area think.
    80
  110. Exceptional film about a remarkable man. Thank you, Guardian. 🙏
    78
  111. Very informative. I loved sitting with my father as a little girl watching Bruce Lee and other martial artists do their thing, fall in love and overcome. My siblings and I took karate classes
    78
  112. This is one of the best episodes by far
    78
  113. You forgot to mention the 2000’s with “The Boondocks” Bushido Brown, Was a definite sendoff to Jim Kelly in his epic battles with Huey🙂
    77
  114. Best guardian series!
    77
  115. Thanks for posting again. I really hope Charlie and the other fella get sorted out with something long term.
    75
  116. Unbelievable!!! >:( typical Guardian!!
    75
  117. Great documentary!!!
    75
  118. Thanks, brilliant piece of journalism. I shed a tear actually.
    74
  119. Loved this format and video. You should do a talk with people with hidden disabilities. I personally kept my OCD 'in the closet' for a long time because of the discrimination I saw people almost casually engaging in around me. I'd be happy to be part of the conversation if you did!
    74
  120. What you have there is worth much more,you can't put a price tag on the love and support you get from a community coming together.
    74
  121. Great series. Thank you for bringing this subject to the surface. You're a brave and beautiful soul.
    73
  122. Adam is great I guess
    73
  123. Being in the US we don't hear quite as much about Brexit, especially from the Irish perspective. This was very informative. It's interesting how some people (seems to be mostly older folks) wanting to go back "to the way things were" and younger folks wanting to keep "moving forward". Very similar to the pro/anti Trump feelings here.
    71
  124. Amazing. Earl is such an awesome, courageous man. May he continue with his incredible mission. Hope the north of England gets the attention it deserves ❤
    70
  125. I really like this series
    69
  126. So basically all cities will have to become a bit more like Copenhagen and Amsterdam? Sounds good to me!
    69
  127. What absolutely beautiful ppl, awesome human beings, Doing the worst job possible. You are so greatly appreciated. Thank you for all you've done and will do.
    69
  128. So glad i susbribed, this series is amazing, great job Guardian!
    69
  129. that "tell me you didn't just say that" is beautifully placed ahaha
    66
  130. Хотим поделиться с вами отзывом врача, студента МиГИ, Алексея Зарубова, который стал участником этой группы и рассказал нам про свой опыт. ⠀ "За прошедшие несколько дней после работы с клиентами пострадавшими от насилия, накопилось много эмоционального негативного фона. Его было важно пережить с кем то еще и такая группа в дополнение к супервизии мне показалась очень важной для сохранения себя. ⠀ Кроме того у меня появились практические вопросы как вести себя в некоторых ситуациях при переживании травмы клиента, ведь клиенты были с разными сроками после произошедшего с ними, с разной интенсивностью самой травмы. Были и пострадавшие, и родственники, и просто участники событий. Каждая группа клиентов требовала уникального терапевтического подхода. ⠀ Как оказалось, у многих коллег были такие же переживания, эмоции, мысли по поводу произошедшего и это позволяло принять и ассимилировать и свои чувства. Получилось прожить и поделиться как негативными, так и позитивными вещами, увидеть понимание, сочувствие участников. Это было очень поддерживающе.
    66
  131. Those women are the salt of the earth. Strong ,resilient and trying their best to get through this tough time.
    66
  132. These are the stories I love to see, everyday people fighting for their community. I sincerely hope they will be successful with their campaign.
    65
  133. Congratulations Owen and Adam :)
    61
  134. The line of the week: 'You can't furlough an otter.'
    61
  135. Good people pulling together for their communities. So good to see this amongst all the anxiety. 💙
    60
  136. Thank you so much for your work
    59
  137. Hi there! We just saw this piece by the Guardian and we'd be happy to answer any questions. Just to respond to a few we've spotted already... Beau very much enjoys participating in the shows he makes for YouTube and this is a venture he himself asked to be involved in several years ago. I'm not sure it's accurate to respond by saying we (as parents) are exploiting or capitalising on Beau. Most of the money his channel earns from sponsored brand deals and advertising does in fact go into a trust fund account for Beau when he's older. Only he will have access to it when he's 18. I can't speak for all parents who allow their children to make shows like his, but in Beau's case, he's level headed and YouTube is only a small part of his life. We only upload every couple of weeks or more. He's a member of a tennis club, learning to play piano, loves swimming and acting - He's just a normal kid who's YouTube channel happened to attract attention over the years since he's been actively involved. As for the future, he's open minded about it. He has a keen interest in the environment, especially penguins and Antarctica. Loves nature programs - Who knows, the skills he learns when presenting could help define a future career in that direction? YouTube isn't all bad, there are positive aspects to it. This has opened doors for him in many respects. But we can understand how people can draw conclusions based on what they see and hear in the wider media. If you have any particular questions, feel free to reply and we will try to answer them if we see them!
    58
  138. great interview. really enjoying the high quality content you are putting out, Owen.
    58
  139. Absolutely stellar series, guys. One of the rare instances where I've seen this topic treated with the sensitivity and impartiality it deserves. Props to the interviewer as well for his willingness to treat it as a personal journey for his own MS condition. Really rooting for him to get better and maintain his openness and sense of humor even in the face of tremendous adversity. :thanksdoc:
    58
  140. mr welsh sounds amazing
    58
  141. Saturday Afternoon back in the day everyone went glued to the television for Kung Fu
    57
  142. Keep this up Iman, really good stuff
    57
  143. Iman Amrani I absolutely love this series and how well you‘ve done your work!!! Keep up that great work and enthusiasm!
    56
  144. I was dropped off in the dojo by dad... before I actually seen black martial artist... but there are plenty of black martial artist that out date these movies ... study Ronald Duncan...
    56
  145. I found the snippets from client interviews poignant. Thanks for the video.
    55
  146. Incredible content. Rare to see these authentic voices and the impact on day to day life.
    55
  147. I think things are changing the company I work for offer 6 months Paternity and that really helped me bond with my son, even though he was born during lock down I can honestly say the last 9 months have been some of the best in my life. The NHS could do better with engaging dads but they are trying, I took part in a dads and breast feeding group during my paternity which was great.
    54
  148. Is this being narrated by the Headspace guy?!
    54
  149. The series has been insightful, especially episode 2, look forward to more. Well done Iman
    54
  150. This was a great series, thanks for that 🙏 Just an idea for the future - could you have a look at the growing numbers in male suicide, especially in regional Britain? Plenty of people I know have gone out this way, even very close mates. Massive problem but not massively talked about in the places where it's really hitting, like in Wales, Scotland and the North of England. I myself would be happy to talk about it in order to bring more awareness and understanding of this issue. - Cheers again for putting this together!
    52
  151. Watching this makes me realise just how lovely people can be and how screwed up politics has become in the UK. We need monumental reform to the system. Great journalism.
    51
  152. Knocked it out of the park, again. Great episode. Great series.
    51
  153. love you
    50
  154. Great work. Good to see working class women's stories told and given a wider audience like this. There are loads of Rachels, Pams & Lindsays out there.
    50
  155. Honestly what a lovely and humble piece, it's nice to see Brits from Asian communities that represented purely positive, and them bringing their cultural staples to modern integrated countries.
    50
  156. A powerful eye opening series, thank you John to you and your team. it’s been hard to watch but necessary.
    49
  157. I shouldn't be surprised but I was. Data collection is ubiquitous but this feels creepy and how classic that the apps supposed to empower us equally are used to mine us for data and sell to our unconscious patterns. Yuck. And I'm not even pre-menstrual.
    49
  158. Great job with this video 👍Have been enjoying the series so far!
    49
  159. Apologies for the dodgy picture quality in the first minute or so. There was a technical fault with the cameraman.
    49
  160. I wish death doula was something that existed in Canada. I’ve worked palliative care off and on for many of 13 years and I am like this woman I find most of the experiences as beautiful. I have provided death care for many working in hospital. But there’s something so much more special about being out of hospital and sage and a peaceful passing without machines and all that! This would be my career passion if I could find it locally! Love and sunshine to all ❤️☀️
    48
  161. Absolutely love this series. Keep up the wonderful wonderful mad work.
    48
  162. This series is really great.
    48
  163. Investigative journalism, like justice, should be blind, but we see more and more these days stories being ignored because they are considered inopportune.
    48
  164. Louise is such a gem 💎 heart of gold 💛 we need more people like her in this world, what a lovely way to get the community together and make it abit more better, it's heartbreaking 💔
    47
  165. Beautiful film. The minimal use of words draws one in, makes one pay attention more; to learn, to understand and ultimately to sit in awe. Tears and kudos to Alexis and to the film crew. Humanity needs this kind of strength, compassion and thoughtfulness. Thank you for making this film.
    46
  166. I absolutely loved this documentary, it's so touching and well-filmed, great job.
    46
  167. Apologies for the dreadful lighting on this one. I know it's a problem.
    45
  168. A pub with a purpose.
    45
  169. I want a ice cream now
    45
  170. Brilliant. To the reporter who put this together, thank you.
    45
  171. My beautiful friend is in this segment . Her and her children fortunately survived. She is such a great spirit and am thankful to still have my friend!❤🖤🙏🏾
    45
  172. I left the UK a week before the 2010 general election as a 17 year old and haven’t been back since (not out of any antipathy, however). Watching this series is incredibly eye opening. I don’t recognize where I am from anymore.
    44
  173. What a wonderful and compassionate woman! The world has much to learn from people as kind as Alexis. 🌱
    43
  174. This video, and indeed the whole series, is so interesting. I like the way this video gives a platform to men of differing ages and backgrounds. So often, other videos I’ve seen on the topic feature only men of a similar age. It’s very interesting to hear what Jon Snow and Francis Rossi have to say alongside the younger men’s views and experiences.
    43
  175. These women are amazing as is the centre, heroes!
    43
  176. Best series on elections.
    42
  177. Amazing journalist ✊
    41
  178. Wow, that was powerful.
    41
  179. Thank you, I feel less isolated now. There’s so many helpful lovely people in this country!
    40
  180. At least now people who are able to work can understand how difficult it is for us to live on UC when we can’t work due to personal issues and health concerns. Something needs to be done to help
    40
  181. Great doc!
    40
  182. I am grateful for this video . It's one of those things that I haven't given much thought of for a very long time . My tiny ten acres is wild ,but needs some attention and I thank you for pointing that out. lolly
    40
  183. We hope you never find yourself in a situation where you have to flee your country and find safety somewhere else and get people telling you that you shouldn't be there. With risks of nuclear weapons, no country in the world is safe and things can change at any time. Let's have some sympathy and Solidarity with those struggling
    40
  184. This is a great video. Thanks very much for posting it.
    38
  185. Congrats my bub
    38
  186. Big thanks to Josh Toussaint-Strauss and Shay Notelovitz for stepping in and filming this while I was in the Isle of Man filming something else.
    38
  187. Such an engaging reporter!
    38
  188. wonderful women - i wish i could afford to send more than just my best wishes 💕
    38
  189. * Dons a fedora and grabs whip * "It belongs in a museum!"
    37
  190. Iman's chortle provides us all with comfort.
    37
  191. These beautiful women are badass angels. Mothers and children deserve to be supported and cared about.
    37
  192. Good film. V important for younger gay people to realise the sheer hell that gay people only a few generations ago had to go through
    36
  193. Night of The Living Dead (1968) was way ahead of it’s time. Amazing lead actor, great script and much credit to George Romero for casting a black lead as the hero. The ending was truly shocking but actually necessary.
    36
  194. Oh the innocence of childhood. Seeing this just makes me want to play and be carefree once again.
    35
  195. So many supportive comments!!! Thanks everyone who listens, learns, accepts, and who celebrate women that know themselves. Makes me a feel a little less awkward in being my childfree self.
    35
  196. Stunning documentary. Beautiful direction and editing. Very compelling content.
    35
  197. Brilliant as ever Mr Harris. Your report gives us hope for humanity and the future...
    35
  198. As a UK disabled person thanks, the cuts and deaths from suicide in our community again and again, nice to know we aren't alone. I have a lot of fight for others but yeah x we got each other
    34
  199. I found your documentary touching and moving. A great deal of what you express rings true with me, especially when you said about returning back home to see how much you have changed. I hold a special place in my heart for Bradford. I wish you and your family health, happiness and prosperity.
    34
  200. Great job TG. Thank'u👏👏👏
    34
  201. Also hearing stories such as Charlie’s gives me that boost that there still is a lot of generosity and sense of community in this country and we all pull together when other people need it most. It just puts life into perspective and highlights there are people who are less fortunate.
    33
  202. Fascinating. A very heartwarming and uplifting video to be released on such a tumultuous day. Thank you, The Guardian!
    33
  203. This is a very important series, please keep making it. 👍
    33
  204. thank you Guardian - showing it like it really is
    33
  205. My grandfather used to get his Manchester Guardian by mail in Boston Massachusetts. The paper stock was so thin it was like butterfly wings. It had a certain sound when the flighty pages were turned. He was a professor of history of technology, dear stubborn socialist’ born in 1898. Thank you Guardian.
    32
  206. What beautiful people. Thank you for sharing this.
    32
  207. I’d say the format was a lil jarring but I stuck it out and really appreciate the narrative. Reminder to me how a story can so expressive and immersive yet doesn’t have (or need) someone narrating or explaining anything. We’ve become so caught up in the rush and noise we often forget we’re all on a journey, and never once did it note if Bear was happy every day of those 60yrs..to some watching may seem like turmoil. Thank you for telling your story.
    32
  208. thanks a lot to the guardians for this very well prepared report.
    32
  209. Beautiful work, I aspire to create the type of work produced by the Guardian, addressing inequality and racism as well as masculinity. Really strong work.
    32
  210. I have really enjoyed The series. As a mom with two sons in their 20s these insights have been helpful and open conversations about topics with my sons that we would probably never engage in
    32
  211. I just love the rough, makeshift nature of these videos. It's content and message above all else, really strong.
    32
  212. Great video amazing message well done 👍
    32
  213. A great documentary well-done all of you and solidarity with anyone treated unfairly
    32
  214. Keep doing what you are doing, John. I stopped reading the Guardian, but I will keep watching you. Real journalism.
    31
  215. Great initiative - well done all for sharing with and caring for each other
    31
  216. Great job Earl! You're doing an amazing thing there, stay strong!!
    30
  217. This series is exceptional. Id like to hear more music from the last person you interviewed here.
    30
  218. Brilliant! We never get to see life in Iran - this was a beautiful glimpse!
    30
  219. I've missed this!
    29
  220. He wasn't joking about the links in the description.
    29
  221. Set-up a go fund for the Bevy !!!
    29
  222. I'd love for you to cover health anxiety, and the impact of thinking you're going to die 😊
    29
  223. An unpleasant job at the best of times made even worse. So sad that the families aren't even able to gather in large groups to bury their relatives. Everyone needs to work together to get through this crisis as soon as possible.
    29
  224. Love the "Anywhere but Westminster" segments
    29
  225. Excellent. Hope the sport grows across uk to uphold your tradition and share with others.
    29
  226. Glad your family is ok.
    28
  227. Yet another great piece by Guardian!
    28
  228. Amazing brave woman, a light of Brazil 🇧🇷
    28
  229. Ps. What an amazing group of women at this centre well done ladies! ❤
    28
  230. Thanks so much for the series. Was great to watch.
    27
  231. Great series!
    27
  232. What a top lad. He's like the Guy Martin of the botanical world.
    27
  233. Wow Guardian. Thank you for this.
    27
  234. Thanks, Guardian. Got goosebumps a few times watching the film then Joss Naylor made me laugh again at the end. RIP Joss.
    27
  235. yess, as soon as I saw the thumbnail I was hoping you would include the “what do you want” scene! Well done!
    27
  236. Ugh. It's content like this that makes me want to go contribute to the Guardian by way of thanks for their quality content and help them in developing a sustainable business model.
    27
  237. A great piece, super to see these guys having so much fun
    27
  238. This is a beautiful film which absolutely captures the anger and optimism in the right to roam movement.
    27
  239. Loved Joss.. he was an inspiration in my life - My dad organised The Saddleworth Fell Race starting in the early 1970 's - encouraged me to race it as the youngest competitor - eleven. We moved to a farm in 1976 and I ran over The Pennines daily...seeing this.. it's inspired me to get out on those moors. Thanks The Guardian. RIP Joss.
    26
  240. Excellent documentary Guardian. Thanks for shedding light on the travesty and inhumane treatment of these people.
    26
  241. Yet another great episode
    26
  242. Am so happy seeing this video.
    26
  243. These small documentaries you do lately about people in crisis helping each other really warm my heart. <3 Thanks for the great reporting, The Guardian is a true guardian these days.
    26
  244. 'Great' video. Really important, upsetting stuff. You did the right thing to stay in southend another night.
    25
  245. I nearly met him once. I went all the way up there to do the Wasdale race because Joss was going to be signing the certificates at the end. I was a decent fell runner but got lost on Scafell somewhere, so by the time I got back to Wasdale Head, Joss had departed for home. Ah well, I still got the certificate. What an inspiration that man was
    25
  246. Some of us go way back to the days of the best ever anime movie, Akira. Growing up and watching cartoons like Voltron, She-Ra and The Transformers kinda made is easy to transcend into the Dragon Ball Z, Naruto and the like. Black representations in anime has always been sketchy, not intentional racism but that's what it was/still is. We need to understand that Japan is a very homogeneous country, only 2% identify as non-Japanese. So they don't know us that much but there's the internet, we are not living in the stone age. They need to open up their minds. Love the Japanese culture though.
    25
  247. 1 of my favorite movies as a kid 💯....you didn't know El Debarge.....you ain't no 80s kid
    25
  248. Good journey, Ian. Well done, Guardian. This puts things in perspective for me. <3
    25
  249. love this series
    25
  250. nice haircut.
    24
  251. I work at a will writing firm and its weird how acclimated I am to death, because I'm around and talking about it every day - remember when I talk to people who don't work in the death industry!
    24
  252. Fantastic report, things need to be said, bravo for talking about the people and they are going through!
    24
  253. My goodness. This is a wonderful study on cultural identity and highlights the very, very difficult issue of maintaing self-love in an extraordinary racist country. Would you 'pass' if it meant a better life? Quite a conundrum but I'm so very proud of the mother who taught her babies to love their black roots despite racism. This is a horrendously difficult, DAILY struggle in the lives of people of color.
    24
  254. Very compelling viewing very true.
    23
  255. Thank you for covering this topic The Guardian
    23
  256. Aw, I found myself hoping for MORE in this episode. That being said; How do you cope with the existential parts of your death? As a Journalist, knowing the posibility of being remembered in "Popular History," or as a tangential voice in "Referential," history, how do you deal with knowing future voices may twist, deride, or even villify, all the work you have created? [To clairify *Referential History, is history only referenced in an Academic and Political context, whereas "Popular" History is history referenced to in a casual setting] Sorry for the lengthy question.
    23
  257. Why am I watching this at 4;30 and going bed 😭😭😭
    23
  258. Great coverage
    23
  259. Interesting story, never heard of anything like like
    23
  260. Waleeds mum is such a sweet lady
    23
  261. We're so proud that 104 of our Public Acts community members feature in this musical. Thanks everyone for watching!
    22
  262. Joss Naylor is the GOAT of fellrunning
    22
  263. Love this conversation. Great to spread awareness especially in the shows we watch/ information we consume.
    22
  264. So nice to see kids playing outside. Didn't think they did that anymore. A beautiful film.
    22
  265. I love these videos.
    22
  266. Thank you for the excellent video.
    22
  267. The story is amazing and the video is beyond cool !!!
    22
  268. He literally said he’s working full time and paying taxes. But he can only do that because he has the right support and the right accommodations to allow him to. And he’s lucky enough to have been able to pay for those accommodations himself. Millions of disabled people are never able to work because they never had the money or the support in the first place. And what support there used to be got stripped away over the last 14 years. So the government talks about getting disabled people back to work, but they don’t offer any of the money those people need to get working. But they still intend to take benefits away from those people who are unable to work and then blame them for not working He’s one of the lucky ones, which is the only reason he’s gotten enough attention and made enough noise for someone in the media to hear. There are millions of us who can barely get food and wash ourselves who will never be seen or heard. And he’s standing up for us. But then people like you take the fact he’s capable of being seen and heard and take that as evidence he doesn’t have enough problems and doesn’t need to be listened to
    21
  269. Thanks so much for your uploads. Highly recommend watching a video on Christina Newman’s channel called her last 5 days. Absolutely beautiful as told by her best friend.
    21
  270. A Great Black Character in Anime is Dutch From Black Lagoon.
    21
  271. Amazing recap! Can't wait to be able to take a lazy sunday flight into sub-orbit 😎 Also can't wait to be able to afford such an afternoon...
    21
  272. Beautiful film! Really good job!
    21
  273. Great point. We need more information like that. 😘
    21
  274. That's a punk!

  275. I’m Black American. I was born in 1971. I was born in the Bruce Lee era . I incorporated all of it. Then was the breakdancing era. Till this day I keep fit I’m dancing I’m thinking and training like a martial artists. Thank you brother for this presentation.
    20
  276. Wow actually really inspiring
    20
  277. Looking forward to this!
    20
  278. What an inspiring story!
    20
  279. Wow! Never knew this! Thanks!!!
    20
  280. I live just up the road in Prenton, and although an Everton fan its great to see Tranmere seems to be being run so well these days too. The Peter Johnson era of cronyism and shady business people looking after their own compared to now with both clubs working for the local community gives real hope for the future of the area in my opinion. Hope they at least get some sort of playoffs as a chance to avoid relegation.
    20
  281. Thank you Johns. Really insightful series.
    19
  282. I'm glad you are working on this. Thank you (so much) !!

  283. I can't stand Owen Jones but to be fair at least he's asking the question. Too many Remainers never ask, they just judge and screech and slander. I voted Remain btw.
    19
  284. Beautifully done
    19
  285. great post! I particularly liked Angela Merkel’s explanation of R0 (not in this segment and not a criticism either) and how transmission rates relate to overwhelming our health care systems around the world if not mitigated. Back to this 8 min post from the Guardian, well done, as always...
    19
  286. what a class group of kids and great teachers, hope it all works out for them, exams are stressful enough without covid
    18
  287. I can't believe you responded to my comment, I feel very special! I suppose finding balance is important. Hard and fast definitions are much easier to make sense of but the pain of failing to line up with them is devastating. There are definitely issues with making sense of arbitrary definitions of masculinity and success too, if there are no rules where am I supposed to go? What do I do? I'm so insecure in myself that just going with what feels "right" is a terrifying thought. Many guys my age feel so listless and lost just like me, it's hard to understand where we're going wrong but it's nice to see that so many people care. I'm happy to have been a part of the conversation, but things still make absolutely no sense.
    18
  288. I never comment. But I’m commenting today. This is great stuff, keep it up - it’s important!
    18
  289.  @donegal79  I can't tell if you are a bot or just a troll...but I can assure you I am a very real scientist and my nail polish doesn't affect my credibility or scientific knowledge in any way. Have a great day!
    18
  290. Interesting
    18
  291. I agree with everything John's saying, and wanted to add that this also applies to neurodiverse conditions. Provisions such as noise-cancelling headphones, text to speech software and additional training time can allow people with neurodiversities to thrive in the workplace. Unfortunately these conditions are often under-diagnosed, especially in women, which means that reasonable adjustments may not be offered and people will struggle to find work. I almost quit when I first started my current job approx. 7 years ago as I was the slowest on the training course, but I'm now pretty confident and have had 2 service awards. Although my workplace offers reasonable adjustments, I was undiagnosed so received no help.
    17
  292. Excellent! Please share with everyone you know ☮️
    17
  293. Thank you for this informative mini-doc, Guardian.
    17
  294. I learned a lot from this video; things I was unaware of concerning funding and charitable status. However parental choice is such a huge issue. I really don't think you can just abolish private schools (fair or not). But watching this video I'm more inclined to think they should be.
    17
  295. Most calming video I've seen all year
    17
  296. Great story is is so important these people have their voices' heard too
    17
  297. Kung fu for me started for me on Saturday afternoons at my dad's house watching channel 48. The cool moves and the sketchy voice overs were legendary. Bruce Lee, Gordon Liu, Donnie Yen, Jet Li and pre rush hour Jackie Chan all contributed to my love of kung fu. I still watch the films. My all time favorite has to be Chinese Connection because the hero doesn't live on instead his last fight was the fight he knew had to be fought even though he couldn't win it.
    17
  298. To all at The Guardian - thank you for all that you do to give a voice to the voiceless and hold this disgraceful government to account. Your coverage is phenomenal. 🖖🌱🐖
    17
  299. Wait, did you actually find bigger hoops? :D
    17
  300. Your welcome Owen
    17
  301. Live near here and was just having an afternoon walk with my kids…my daughters crazy about horses, so she always insists we walk past the farms so she can stroke the horses. We passed along a public footpath and see Sohail looking after his horse. He called us over allowed us to stroke the horse and even come into the stables and help brushing the horse..my kids loved their first experience of being up close to a horse! Top guy, showed us love! Respect to u ❤️🤲🏾
    17
  302. Great video! You do a fantastic job of explaining the root causes of so much dissatisfaction, keep it up! :)
    17
  303. This is phenomenal.
    17
  304. Hi, We've tried to have quite a balanced selection of characters, that include both people on the right and left side politically. Research done by Pew Institute and Institutt for Samfunnsforskning (Norway) also shows that people who are active in online debate tends to leave more towards the right wing in their opinions, so that can also be a part of why it was more difficult to find and track those left-wing trolls down. - Kyrre, the director.
    17
  305. Wish these were longer.
    17
  306. Loved attending this school. They all care to the core
    16
  307. Thanks for making these docs free to watch!
    16
  308. Good video, well researched and full of good, pertinent information. Fingers crossed it'll be taken on board, though there are quite a few folk you won't convince with facts because their minds are made up...
    16
  309. Hats off to the G yet another great episode
    16
  310. death anxiety and death as a taboo in society. looking forward!
    16
  311. This is powerful! That bench scene visually sums up racism especially well and is soooooo relevant to what's happening today!!
    16
  312. Was the carried away pun intentionally about the balloon leaving?
    16
  313. Such a great series. Would love see a lot more.
    16
  314. Thank you for this excellent video. When I studied ecology at Uni, I wasn't looking forward to the soil science modules. The presentation wasn't the best either. However, I was left with a very clear picture of just how important soils are, and just how mistaken the common perception of soil is. In fact this leads to my next point. I think the perception of soil as just inert dirt, maybe with a few worms in it, best illustrates the really crucial part of the ecological crisis we face. It is our completely false perception of the natural systems that sustain us. We are in this mess, primarily because we are completely ignorant as to how these natural systems sustain us, and that is why we have been stupidly exploiting them without thought. The whole suite of crises which make up the overall ecological crisis, is primarily a problem of perception. This ignorant perception of soil as just inert dirt that you grow stuff in, is a perception that is shockingly widespread in the farming industry. Yes, there are many farmers who do understand the complexities and importance of soils, but also unfortunately many who just exploit it unthinkingly. If we truly understood what soil was, it's importance and why we need to treat it more respectfully and thoughtfully, there would be no ecological crisis because we would be focused on learning how to treat the natural systems that sustain us, in a sustainable way.
    16
  315. Fascinating stuff.
    15
  316. "Pick. & choose our fights"... So, true!
    15

  318. LOVE this series! I' not afraid of dying but I'm learning that Imustprepare more for other's sake.
    15
  319. thank you for doing such a long in-depth piece with mostly voices from people involved.

  320. Never clicked on a video so fast, an already great series with a fresh view

  322. Anime is probably the greatest art form for the last decades. This was very dope and informative, thank you Guardian . I would had loved to speak a bit about the perspective on Afro-Samurai, it's legendary .
    14
  323. I have ms. Ty so much for this series
    14
  324. Though this was going to be about an entire town of beautiful Black Albino Americans. Either way I’m not disappointed this is mad interesting
    14
  325. Excellent film! Nice one.
    14
  326. What an amazing documentary shedding light on a true working class hero…. As a runner and a classic car owner I found it all the more fascinating hearing about the rally driver and classic Escort helping him set the record. Heard so many story’s about Joss growing up…one that sticks in my head is he finished one particularly gruelling fell race complaining (incredibly rare for Joss) of foot pain, He got checked out by medical staff and was told he’d shattered several bones in each foot… In todays seemingly self obsessed,celebrity driven world this man stands alone.

  328. Chinese kung fu movies were very popular with Filipinos as well for exactly the same reasons you cited. My childhood was spent in southern California, San Diego specifically, which has a large Filipino population. My friends and I would always watch Samurai Sunday, and they would play at least two movies. Yes, I know samurai is Japanese but that's what the tv station called it. For this reason, I've always respected Chinese culture. And the African-American struggle is something I have always been able to empathize with.
    13
  329. Thank you Guardian for making this documentary. Truly touching.
    13
  330. thanks for the documentary - my life in the West is truly spoiled in comparison
    13
  331. I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. Man, that feels like forever ago.
    13
  332. Omg. Loved the Last Dragon as a kid. My brother and I memorized all of Sho Nuff's speeches!
    13
  333. I live a major city in New Zealand. During our 100% 4 week lock down, car usage fell by 95%, the usual light yellow tinge of of car/truck pollution emissions disappeared with clear sky, sweeter smelling air and little vehicle noise. Since lock down conditions have eased, vehicle noise is up, the light yellow tinge of of car/truck pollution emissions are back and the air no longer smell nice.
    13
  334. Great piece of journalism!
    13
  335. That looks so exhilarating!
    13
  336. MORE OF THIS, please, GUARDIAN.
    12
  337. Hoping more such content from Guardian!
    12
  338. Or you could properly fund state schools so that the incentive to send your kids private isn't there?

  339. Powerful stuff, we’ll done done Earl and great to see so many familiar faces. You’ll be getting more views than Liam and Sam put together 😂

  340. What a wonderful doctor she is. The sweet wedding at the end was precious. Live with meaning and purpose!
    12
  341. Yaaaas! My all time favorite movie! There really hasn’t been another movie like it; in terms of it’s themes and comical tones. It has heart, and a great hero’s journey perspective.
    12
  342. Remarkable film, really excellent
    12
  343. Excellent reporting.
    12
  344. how does a vaccine change your DNA?
    12
  345. What I think shouldn't be neglected is that the point isn't to remove the outer mask with the inner. It should be to integrate them and make them closer together. The outer mask is the vehicle you use to change the inner mask, becuase the traits that make you most vulnerable aren't inherently better than the traits which, were they your inner mask, would make you less vulnerable. We will never help struggling men eith their emotions if we try to force them into behaviours of women, going on coffee mornings and being too open with their emotions. That can't be sustained because they will see those using their outer masks more be rewarded with getting more female attention, being more enjoyable to be be around so more popular, etc. There must be a balance between the external rewards which your outer mask is good at getting you, and the internal emotional health that wearing your inner mask can provide.

  346. fantastic video ! good work

  347. Super cool! Very deep engagement with the science. Congrats!
    11
  348. “It’s mine”? Really, Guardian?
    11
  349. Would see him regularly when I worked at Outward Bound in the 90’s. He would fly past our groups with his dog… Born and raised a Cumbrian legend….
    11
  350. Today I learned about that trail running legend. Awesome documentary!
    11
  351. great work again John
    11
  352. Love watching ur series, Iman! From India.
    11
  353. Interesting and well produced video, thanks.
    11
  354. Stefan is a top notch guy. We should all aspire to give back and help cultivate a sense of manliness in these boys. Amazing work.
    11
  355. The kindness in this video gives me hope... thanks to all involved. Their help is invaluable to those in despair.
    11
  356. the most beautiful documentary that i have ever seen in my life !!
    10
  357. I hope this video gets more people inspired to take up some form of green exercise. Being in these green outdoor spaces is beneficial to human health, and the effects of that teach people the value of our planets natural flora, fauna, and landscapes they inhabit
    10
  358. Loved this piece!! I’d be interested in another one going more in depth into the different solutions available- long and short term. For example, which of the ways to make streets safer for women works best (in towns where mayors invest in/prioritise this), how to teach men at a young age not to be misogynists, and also different self defence options for women eg Brazilian jiu jitsu?
    10
  359. This sparked joy! It also made me think about Ralph Tresvant in the New Edition biopic.
    10
  360. WATCH the actual video if you’re going to comment. I was a little sceptical at the title, but the vid makes the simple point that black people were very much a part of UK society for centuries. See Othello etc
    10
  361. I can already say that this will be an excellent series on par with Modern Masculinity, well done!
    10
  362. I used to go with my Dad and Uncle every year when I was growing up and I took my daughter when she was only 5 weeks old! It is a such an awesome experience. I always loved the Channel One sound system and the curried goat, fantastic!
    10
  363. Totally inspired
    10
  364. Well said - Stoke On Trent is great !

  367. Rewatching this to understand a bit more and what do I see within the 2 first minutes ? An Algerian flag! C'est une compatriote! Damn. On est partout 😀

  368. Josh: to me, your work is amazing. What makes it even more so is the very evident joy with which you do it. You are bound to inspire many young conservationists. More power to you! And thank you, Guardian, for bringing this very hopeful story to us.
    9
  369. Lovely film about an amazing but humble bloke, thank you for posting it!

  370. And may I just add the family are incredibly grateful descendants, it's a wonderful legacy and we are so happy the microscope was found and will now be available for research and public engagement.
    9
  371. This is the stuff people will want to see when they`ll like to know more about this time. This is the stuff real history is made of. But this is only the beginning. Christopher, I hope you`ll continue documenting after the ending of lockdown. The main is still to come... Thanks for sharing.
    9
  372. pure, unadulterated joy of life.

  373. Just not true- 68% of commutes to work in the UK are less than 10km (49% less than 5km) an easily cycling distance for most. Get more (doesn't need to be much) of these people out of their cars and cycling/walking = easier car journeys for those (the minority) that do not have the active travel option.
    9
  374. Such a beautifully made video. Thank you!
    9
  375. Great documentary and points

  376. This is my family. I wish more people would come to the realization of this story being the norm.

  377. Hi, We've tried to have quite a balanced selection of characters, that include both people on the right and left side politically in this documentary. At the same time; research done by Pew Institute and Institutt for Samfunnsforskning (Norway) also shows that people who are active in online debate tends to lean more towards the right wing in their opinions, so that can also be a part of why it was more difficult to find and track those left-wing trolls down. - Kyrre, the director.

  378. well done John, dislike your paper but what you are doing is superb

  379. Wow . Brilliant:)

  380. I just had to donate something with a wish of a happy holidays. I am so happy to see this video is getting views, I'm sure more people are donating and it really warms my heart to know that they are getting some help. Thanks The Guardian.
    9
  381. If you get to Dundee John, I'll bring as many people as I can. I'd love to see you play here <3 What a great sound, and what a brilliant way for me to be introduced to your work. Thank you so much for all your doing! <3

  382. Holy hell, that thumb nail though. I was scrolling through my subs, that stopped me in my tracks.

  383. Thanks for this video. Very informative. I'm currently working of testing new things on my own to see if that helps me to treat my insomnia.

  384. Very interesting and thoughtful. Well edited, too.

  385. Class , what an honourable gentleman ❤

  386. I spent my teenage years (80's) in those sticky floor theaters easily watching 3 movies, 1 after the other. Saturday afternoons we were glued to the tv at 3pm on channel 5 and by 5:15 pm we were outside kicking each others brains out. ODB grew up 5 blocks from me in Brooklyn, we was so serious about the Martial arts we even wore Chinese slippers.

  387. this is the best video I've watched in this topic, especially the last part carrying the message "you don't need to be a mother to be all the good things about a woman."

  388. WHAT has he got on his head, some knd of new Mop Head? go back and et a refund from the barber

  389. Love your documentary
    8
  390. I love watching any Iman Amrani films ;) :D
    8
  391. personally I thought the title of the video was a bit hyperbolic and I was indeed slightly turned off by it but after watching the video the historical facts did stack up! you can’t deny that most people, if not everyone, conceives of a cowboy as a white man, and that’s exactly the assumption that this video is trying to challenge! perhaps watch it with an open mind — you can accept some ideas presented without accepting all of them
    8
  392. Great video as always Owen!

  393. Have a gay day! ;)

  394. I am only half black, and my skin is pretty much white, but I felt the draw so strongly from a young age as well. I now instruct at a Wing Chun school and have had the honor to train with one of Bruce Lee's Kung Fu Brothers that also trained under Ip Man. Bruce Lee and the Wu Tang Clan are largely responsible for my presence there. Thank you for this beautiful piece.

  398. Señor Lopez put on a shirt and tie for their wedding, I can't explain with words how that made me feel, I just cried ❤ everyone in this documentary is brilliant

  399. I appreciate you reading through comments thoroughly and responding painstakingly with another video! Compliments of the season and have an awesome new year!

  400. 2000 languages this video educated 😁😁😁😉❤️
    7
  401. This was a pretty well animated video, well done!
    7
  402. I have seen some unpleasant comments on the Guardian page. How nice for those who have the luxury of feeling superior when they see an article like this. This is addressing a very particular and real problem in Nairobi. 2.5 million people live in slums in that city with poor sanitation and limited access to clean water. That’s 60% of the city’s population living on 6% of the land. This film deals with the insoluble problem of social distancing for very many people and examples one remarkable artist determined to help his people by illustrating the few safe options available to them.
    7
  403. Visits cafe called "Conservative Grounds" "All they did was look for Biden voters". Did we watch the same video? 🤔🤦‍♂️

  405. Really thought provoking and nuanced documentary. Fascinating stuff.
    7
  406. I love this comment section. So many different people, of varying ages & backgrounds I'd likely assume, sharing & discussing their views on the questions presented with maturity & lack of childish attacks. Discussions such as there are so important, and I'm glad The Guardian is providing a platform for it.

  412. mannnnn!!! i had nunchucks, throwing stars, swords and all that when i was a kid. LOVED KUNG FU MOVIES! i took karate classes for over 2yrs trying to learn. i always loved the underdog story elements of the movies. the japanese thing was a bit over my head as a kid BUT being bullied? picked on for no reason? yea that was easily understood. love love kung fu movies.
    6
  413. At least the wrong number call meant you pronounced Micah correctly with the real guest. Silver linings and all that.
    6
  414. Very eerie video format. Made everything feel raw.
    6
  415. Video worth sharing to all. Good information.

  416. Very interested well done 👍
    6
  417. It's an incredibly important question. There's been so much erasure of the racial & ethnic diversity of British history. There have been people of colour throughout British history, even Roman Britain and it's ridiculous that people still refuse to accept this. It's a testament to the lack of acknowledgement of this historic diversity being included in our education that period shows & films still see having a diverse cast as 'novel' or 'optional'. But even if there wasn't such a rich history of diversity in Britain... WHICH THERE IS!!! It's cinema. It's meant to be a world of suspended disbelief. Why is it that this only becomes an issue when a racially diverse cast is brought up? Dogs talking... Penguins dancing... But god help you if you suggest having a racially diverse period cast 🙄
    6
  418. Amazing film.

  422. For the 'Guardian', this was even-handed, so, well-done. Interesting, that the Change UK rally - just like its Brexit equivalent - was made up, largely, of older people.

  423. May the path to hope and healing continue unimpeded ❤

  424. This series is really great, it's hard to come across such raw and relatable questions that get human answers out of people as well as seemingly balanced and fair editorial decisions
    5
  425. I know exactly what they mean. I love anime and decided to give Kengan Ashura a go. And then a character named Tyson Fox popped into the picture. All of the nasty caricatures of black people rolled into one character. It was a real shame but I think that's what black anime fans have become accustomed to. You get into the show and rather than looking at a black character and thinking "Yeah, that one's cool", their appearance on screen makes you think "Here we go again".
    5
  426. Thank you so much for including Ghost Dog in that montage, such an overlooked gem.

  428. ….Hmm not sure, this sounds far to complex to work properly for anything but a small number of infections. The problem with this is that once the government have the ability to do it on a large scale, it will become a serious threat to our civil liberties as they are bound to expand it to purposes other than the current disease.

  432. I know this story all to well - my black grandmother could pass for a white woman in a time when it was not acceptable. I see the pain & hurt it causes but I understand that grandmother had to live with her decision. Awesome story, thanks for sharing

  433. great video, thank you

  434. These two women are absolutely super heroes! They're incredible and this should be recognized for all their great community work!

  435. excellent

  436. Hi Iman, thank you for encouraging conversations, hopefully voices like yours will give us the direction for the future where we go back to talking to each other and finding others interesting even if they have different views from us. So important!
    5
  437. Thank you for this John. I was indulging in a bit of self pity this morning, but your content sorted that out for me. After listening to these stories, I am full of gratitude for being alive and well. I hope the trolls don't get you down. Be well.
    5
  438.  @Edukate95  I agree she's talked to all sorts of people. The only criticism of the series I've seen so far is that it's a woman and not a man. This isn't womansplaining either. It's literally a female asking males questions and good questions and adding her thoughts and I think it's important to get an outside looking in perspective.

  439. Thank you!

  447. Hey there, it’s great that we’re covering this but can I just say there are anime that don’t represent POC like this!

  448. Some other notables. Starting with Michael Jae White, Warhawk Tanzania, Steve James, Billy Blanks, Carl Scott, Ron Van Clief, Owen Watson, etc...

  455. I want to see if Neil has more to say. 40 minute interview, and I still wanted to hear more.

  456.  @theGuardian  Yea. We spoke back and forth many times. This was around 20 years ago or more.

  458. Interesting topic, I usally don't leave comments but here I am. Death is scary, specially if you don't believe in the life after death so basically that's the end of existance! What i found interesting is that the only institution that has something to offer about death expect religion! I am young and doesn't think about death often but i believe this becomes more of an issue when you get old...
    4
  459. I am with you 100%, Great video We need more like you .
    4
  460. Great reporting, again, The Guardian, kudos👏 It's a despicable situation out there indeed, I honestly think it's in huge part working of the lobbyists in that highly processed (often sugarly) food manufacturing industry. More people should realise that and turn back to home cooking etc., peace!

  461. Hey Guardian! Come to the Southside and kick it

  464. Was great to hear the boys have their say but they haven't lived loved or had too many dark days yet. The word responsibility hasn't really even entered their frame yet. Responsibility is intrinsically linked to masculinity. Episode 2 will be hard to beat for content but keep up the good work

  465. Hum yet another great episode

  469. I got more great questions to ask next Q&A. Haha thx for the answer

  470. Yes, you're right here. By far the easiest way to remove him is to vote him out. I think everyone we spoke to for this video was highly sceptical this is at all likely to happen. (Phil, producer)

  471. Loved watching this. I hope to return to Wasdale next year. Great area. Simon

  472. Good bye Joss. Love the line about speeding! Couldn't match that now with speed cameras. Legend.

  473. Soul Eater. Bleach is filled with them. Naruto has an entire village of them. Shaman King has a few. Then there's The Promised Neverland, Fire Force and Cowboy Bebop. There are quite a few.

  474. Enjoyed that article. Very interesting. Will defo be looking at some of the extra reading if i get the time .. PS
    3
  475. so many embarrassing bad faith comments. nitpicking instead of listening to the ideas being interrogated in the video
    3
  476. Great job! This brought back fun childhood memories of the Rialto theater (Atlanta) watching afternoon matinee martial arts films. The influence on my life was permanent. I never learned martial arts, but I love it. Always have always will.☯️ 😘

  477.  @theGuardian  Great video, thanks.
    3
  478. When I was really young, my mother used to binge watch a types of Kung Fu movies. I barley remember it as i always found it weird that my mother was so drawn. She eventually stopped anyway because she got really busy with life over the next few years so Kung Fu movies faded into the back of my mind. This video is very nostalgic for me for those reasons.

  479. Best documentary ever........even in Africa we liked kungfu movies

  487. Thanks for a great summary video Guardian!
    3
  488. Can we have an outakes video? They looked fun. Maybe the crisis is not a crisis. Maybe it is an online generated thing, the social media bubble. Don’t get me wrong, there are issues. But is it any worse than years before, or made worse by the internet. All these issues which seem to have really come on of late - politics, crisis of masculinity, public discourse, depression, anxiety - has all been made 100 times worse, stoked, and in some cases generated by all forms of social media. It was all there before, now it’s off the chart because everyone is exposed to it. Off topic, but it’s all linked in my opinion. Someone needs to turn off the power to Silicon Valley.

  493. Thanks The Guardian ♥️ All I want is more and more of this kind of content. Channel 4, ABC Australia, Radio New Zealand, I'm seeing more of it creeping into mainstream media outlets, but we need so much more.

  494. Equal rights for every citizen! Yes. Direct action is better. Always resist! Great courage and music 👍

  499. Keep the great content coming - many thanks to all the people involved at Guardian youtube for such top quality videos

  500. i was really surprised I expected to see something offense due to the title but this is a really impressively made video

  501. True journalist. Leaving the conclusions to us. Exploring as your motive, no hidden agenda. This series is my favorite thing on youtube. I love your work and look forward to more!
    2
  502. Great interview here thank you. I'm not a fan of boxing MMA UFC etc but was nice to see people talking on an intellectual level about the sport not just the stereotypical "me man me punch me alpha". Hopefully more fans of the sport will pick up on this as it does seem to carry a negative vibe with it. Keep up the great work guys. Looking forward to episode 2!! 👍

  507. Great video! It pairs nicely with the fabulous video piece by Yedoye Travis for Get in the Robot called "Racism in Dragon Ball Z" and with the conversation hosted by The Line on blackness in animation (an amazing London studio that made The Might Grand Piton, among other incredible films). So many anime storylines are about rising above challenges and it's awesome to see people taking that to heart and actually make anime better for everyone.

  510. Greetings! Great job with this project, I really enjoyed viewing your work. I am currently living in Shenzhen, China studying Wing Chun--would love to view your longer unedited video (if possible)...there were a number of martial arts schools opening and books. I am currently working on a book dealing with Wing Chun and the Black experiences

  511. I grew up in 1980's NEWARK NJ and used to go to the ADAMS theater(Brandford Plcae) to watch 3 KUNG FU films for : at first $3 then it went up in a few years to $5) but back then after the films finished .... YOU COULD STAY UNTIL CLOSING!!!! ( about 12 or 1 am , but only on FRIDAY ,SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHTS) ,opening up about 11am or 12 pm, and when i got old enough I'd leave there at 11p/12p and walk up the street to a disco that was open... go home , sleep til 4 or 5 ,get back up and go again to the THEARTER, LOL, they also showed 3 Horror/Sci Fi and or 3 Mystery/Murder flicks.

  512. Lit video I can see this being a full documentary

  513. What a great segment and this topic could easily be made into a episodic series. Black people have a reverence for martial arts like no other.
    2
  514. Suck MyToe as a black man I’ve always wondered if there were any specific reasons why my community gravitated towards kung fu movies, and Asian art as a whole. The themes of fighting against discrimination and self improvement resonate with me because these are values that different groups of people (African American/Asian) from very different parts of the world share in common. Looking at race, in this aspect uncovered mutual traits that different “races” share, and in that regard brings two groups of people together. You missed the positive outlook of this video, solely because you’re ultra sensitive to race being mentioned.
    2
  515. Great video!
    2
  516. You could not be expected to cover all the possible terrain with regards to this subject. In the UK from 1977 right into the 90s the Major Cities of London; Birmingham; Manchester; Bristol and Leeds had Midnight Movies where they showed all the Show Brothers and Golden Harvest Films. The audience was mainly Afro Caribbean. In fact you would have a Black X ploitation Film on the same night.

  517. Preach. Maybe a part 2 coming?

  524. Really informative. Well presented. Glad I watched

  525. I'm from S.Korea where we did contact trace strategy earlier. personal point of view, the biggest enemy for the contact tracing in UK here is no trust about the government and that follows by no cooperation of the public. sorry ...it's just personal opinion. hope UK could save more lives and go back to normal life sooner....🇬🇧👏🇰🇷

  533. Interesting video. I was not expecting the Queen to be a stand out figure in a Guardian survey which appeared to surprise the Guardian. Why did COVID happen in the first place and how can we prevent a repeat in the future - perhaps we can't. I disagree that the world is experiencing a "tsunami of hate", when there are so many examples of love.

  535. Thank you John and others, for making this moving film about my home town under C19. As is the the weird nature of this lockdown, I feel very disconnected from my community, so it was heartening to see how others nearby are coping and responding.

  544. so pleased I found this, what a great film, not got to the end of it. I don't fell run but have known about Joss and his running records for a long time, from being around the Lakes taking photos. an amazing guy, He ran up and down Scafell Pike in like 47 minutes, from Wasdale, which is mind blowing.!! a word that is much over used these days but not in this case, "Legend"..

  548. I agree with some of the points you made, but absolutely not with the cosplays. On Reddit and Instagram i haven't seen ONE insult when a black person cosplayed a white character. In fact, on Reddit some of the most upvoted pictures are from black people. Still, it's a good video, and i'm seeing some changes in some of the most recent anime (Ogun in Fire Force, Scar in Fullmetal alchemist, Quant in Tower of God).

  550. Another great vid Josh, keep em' coming!
    1
  551. I actually agree with this video to a extent. Sister krone from Promised never land I never seen her like that in particular. Since ya brought up my 5th favorite anime Naruto Killer bee Raps in that show but yet it doesn’t both me at all . Dark alloy shine is a dude wit a Tan from when I read the manga but it I thought he was black too lol. Next thing we know God of highschool the dude Mira fought is Black 😂but he ain’t tho. What’s wrong with the girl from cowboy bebop she fits the mood of that anime series! Also Michiko and Hatchin Michiko and Atsuko Jackson is pretty much 70s Black spoliation in Anime Format. You do got anime series like Canon busters or the upcoming Yasuke on Netflix or Boondocks Afro samurai etc. Japan is on the other side of the world shoot I think it took them awhile to make Twitter for themselves until the Recent years! But it has gotten better though you have a Black owned Anime studio you got Poc making their own Mangas and Anime ideas on Netflix or Streaming stuff. To give credit where it’s due lmao Black people made Anime more popular than before I’m not talking about Megan thee stallion or John boyega or Micheal b Jordan! But I mean you tube creators like Rdcworld ,Or King Vader Caleb city Griffey and numerous others I b watching! Their are certain characters like general black in dragon ball or Killa in Dbz majin buu saga or Jynx or etc. But ya just gotta be aware of these issues and stay on top of it. I will agree when it comes to Cosplay people are Assholes to Black people. When people need to let people b whoever they want. They wanna b misa a mane from Death note let em. I saw a Fine Black girl Cosplay as that girl from that road to el dorado movie do I care nope she can do that. A Spanish girl can Cosplay as Seiya for all I care I don’t care as long as you love what you love it doesn’t matter what anybody says to you!

  554. Animates the best UK Podcast hands down!
    1
  555.  @theGuardian  Yeah, few years ago when the naruto was updated weekly I was fairing up, then. The rush of fillers struck me for years, 20 ep, 20 week full of nothing besides useless flashbacks, then few regular episodes, and another 20 ep full of horror.😂 Then I loosed the track of the anime, when it finished, I didind recognized tat it was the ending of it, because of the fillers😵 🌹🌹🌹
    1
  556. Dang, a lot of these comments are...yikes!🤦🏾‍♀️ Anyway, as a Black woman, it was/is always nice to see Black anime characters that were/are well drawn and not offensive stereotypes; Tousen from Bleach and Canary from Hunter x Hunter come to mind. Most of the time, I don't focus much on the race of anime characters, but if they're going to put our likeness in there, it definitely helps that they get it right.👍🏾
    1
  557. Josh or anyone else, are there any examples of Japanese anime that does black characters well?
    1
  558.  @theGuardian  Oh wow, didn't actually expect a reply to this! I apologize if I came off as harsh. I really did like this video and I related to the opinions a lot. It was really the only issue I had. If you do a follow up video, I'm looking forward to it! There aren't a lot of black characters that are well written, but it's always interesting to see what characters fellow black people do like.

  561. Excellence piece. You touched on all the right points about Asian cinama and the black community. And you could have gone further with all of asian culture. Or that it always hasn't been a mutual sharing of cultures.... (Glad you didn't go down that negative road, by the way.) I grew up in the '70's and '80's and lived thru this. It developed my love of anime, movies, and t.v. with asian influence. I majored in Social Studies in high school in part because of it. There are so much our cultures can truly learn from each other. Mainly, because they're so much the same, I believe. Thank you for the article and giving this the recognition it deserves.
    1
  562. Excellent and of course it goes so deep there many stories and black masters fighter all over who have traced the fighting arts all the way back to Africa through Brazil and America Plus within the jail system so there’s a lot to discover and report on I hope to see more Great work Thank you!

  563. Would've been amazing to also emphasise the other way around. Samurai Champloo, and recently, the anime devilman both pay homage to hip hop culture. Such a beautiful video! Thank you!!!

  564. And Africans. We were fanatical as kids when we saw Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Black Mask etc by Jet Lee, Bolo, and more. This is even making me want to watch Black Mask. We watched loads of Kung Fu movies.

  579. Living in London England back in the 80s I was just like Leroy Green aka Bruce Leroy from The Last Dragon. I remember my mum and sister went to china town, Soho westend where they sold Wing Chun dummies, Nunchucks and all things martial arts. I must of been about 8 years old when I got my first Kung Fu suit with the Kung Fu slippers in black. I use to role the sleaves up to my elbow because that's how Bruce Lee whore his in The Way of the Dragon lol I would then mimic BL and loved throwing punches and kicks just to hear the whoosh sounds of my Kung Fu suit as I through combos lol I remember also collecting martial arts magazines and seeing pics of Bruce Lee with Nunchucks, but because I lived in the UK, they edited out on VHS all fight scenes whereby nunchucks were used. Also I know a lot of people use to hate the dubbing on these late night kung fu classics, but me and my family loved them, it never bothered us. Even now, I'm trying to download load kung fu movies with the original english dubbing, because I know a lot of them are being redubbed. So anyone reading this knows of how to get the original vhs dubbing of kung fu films give me a shout lol I've been looking for the original vhs english dubbing of Drunken Master. In the original jackie chan calls the old man sam seed lol which is how we all grew up to call the old man. But now they call him the old beggar. I'm sure fans of kung fu movies get what I'm saying. Ahhh it was a great time. Lol peace and love everyone.

  582. I ALSO LOVE The 36th Chamber of Shaolin!!!
    1
  583. OMG IRON FIST. It's true. I love kung fu and all forms of martial arts (so much that I became a martial artist). I grew up watching wuxia/martial arts films because they were really cheap and enjoyable. My favourites are the Secret of the Shaolin Poles, Snake-Crane Secret, The Seven Masters and Shaolin Chastity (from the Wu Tang collection). I never really got into Bruce Lee, surprisingly, but that's just because I tended to watch a lot of non-mainstream films from the 70s and 80s 😂.

  586. Word to my avatar. Jim Kelly was the first black man on screen I saw that was larger than life. Fortunately, representation is back and lucrative so today's youth get to see Cage, T'challa, and Black Lightening as legit heroes and not whack alternatives. It's important to identify with characters and seeing someone brown like me beating down dirty cops and dodging buses in a Hong Kong street was awe inspiring . Respect due.

  597. Michael Jai White said a black man named Damo brought martial arts and Buddhism to China. Since it's proof that it was practiced in Africa before then, that may be why we are into it so much as well. If you can find any info on him, that would make a great video.

  613. You didn't say that but that's the impression that someone will get if they have no previous background knowledge. I had a couple of other comments but admittedly I notice certain things because I have a background in medical science and also I have an opinion about everything 😊 At the end of the day, there is a dire need for media that help laypeople better understand some of the science. So this is sterling work!

  619. Bit late, they've been contact tracing for months in Asian countries, UK is late with everything.
    1
  620. I personally dont see how this is going to work at all, according to the NHS most people only have mild symptoms if any so they may or may not self isolate. If they follow NHS guidelines they would go home for seven days then business as normal but wouldn't report it. They would not be recorded as having covid so nothing to trace there. Not every body always carries their phones all the time, I dont and my partner (key worker) is not allowed to have one at work so no trace there. Neither my or my partners mother even have mobiles! It further assumes that every one will "do the right thing" but they wont if what I have witnessed since the lockdown has been on is typical behaviour. . What about the infected people that are asymptomatic, they are not going to get tested so again not on the radar. This to me (in my personal opinion) is wall papering over the cracks instead of the mass testing that has failed to materialise. If you take the population of the UK as approx 64.8 million people and times that by the cost of a test your looking at Billions and lets face it that aint happening!
    1
  621. There’s news, there’s entertainment and there’s social commentary. The latter has been letting us, the consumers of media, down. This series wasn’t that. Well done, I actually acquired some insight from what I heard.

  627. This is interesting. I would say probably your dominant ethnicity would be whatever is the largest percentage you have on your gene pool. technically she’s mostly white because her mother was only half black and her father was white which means (75% caucasian gene). Her daughter who identified as white was born to a white father(?) then she is less than her mother in percentage. My husband goes by white because he is only 10% black, he’s mostly German and English (white). So anyway if that daughter marries a white man and has a child there will be no black left in that immediate family except a small fraction. I don’t think the daughter is pushing aside her black heritage I just think she’s like my husband, and thinks even tho you may have another ethnicity somewhere in your blood, Black white pink or purple whichever was dominant in the genes is mostly what you are. 🧬 that’s what I would identify as.. the mother definitely did take after that 25% black, she has the features. But ultimately identify with what you’re comfortable with. But when I can’t help to think about is she’s ( the mother) denying her fathers percentage of ethnicity that dominates her gene pool. Interesting
    1
  628. Because of the racist standards of American society it is the consensus that one drop of black blood makes you black. I have had people in my family that appeared white but were black. When you go to the white side it’s called passing. Black people were not in control and did not set this standard.
    1
  629. Also, people, check out Gouldtown,NJ. Same kind of settlement.
    1
  630. I wish the daughter had known who was Walter White who was part of the NAACP. He was 1/8th black and could pass for white with his blonde hair and blue eyes but chose to be a black man along with being NAACP activist. He conducted investigation against lynching and would pass as white and identify southerners who were lynching black people.
    1
  631. Makes you think about how the definition changes. Is it skin tone, state of mind, the way you are treated, the experiences you have,etc? Very interesting video. Thanks for the post. I respect their frame of mind cuz I see it very clearly. Being mixed is part of history...often by force so it shouldn't be a surprise. One drop in effect right there.
    1
  632. This was very interesting! From the first look she appears to be a woman with albinism, but to me phenotypically she looks like a Black woman. I can see why her daughter does not identify as Black but she certainly is not white either. I see her as being a multiracial or biracial woman. Her mother was very hurt by listening to her daughter express her feelings on self identity.

  636. This is a cool, interesting documentary. I’m not mad at Jessica for identifying as White, because she is mostly White. Although I would consider Roberta to be mixed, I can understand why she identifies as Black.

  644. Just brilliant videos, touching, heartfelt and enlightening. If anyone is watching this and understands the importance of what John is doing in terms of highlighting the plight of people who really keep communities rolling, should considering donating to the Guardian to help this work continue or else directly to a community organisation. Forget your Netflix, Crave and all that other bs, download that stuff free and give your money to something that helps the grassroots and doesn't line the pockets of some suit.
