      Yeah. I think the most people he encounters are good and friendly people. There are bad folks everywhere but he's probably safer here than where I live in New Jersey. If you were to enter a slum there as a foreigner and talk to as many people as he talked to, you might get assaulted and robbed and maybe lose your life.

    As an American this is such a different world. I’d personally feel so uncomfortable with everyone looking at me and the feeling of being judged. I love how he’s not phased, he’s always respectful, and puts the effort in to learn the language and history. Keep doing what you’re doing. So much value in what you’re sharing! Thank you!

      Yeah this happens to me when I go to mainly white towns in America. Especially since I live close to one and often end up there when I do uber. The only difference is ppl don’t come up and speak to me. They only stare at me and sometimes I’ll get a few compliments on my hair

      @Mishelle Ndinya Yeah I've even had that experience in Central America. Not so much for being white since there's plenty of white Latin Americans moreso having a northern European look and being very tall, a lot of people will stare at me, very interested and curious but again it's just normal. Where I come from people wouldn't do that or consider it rude, but I don't consider it to be a bad thing.

      @DrawAndErase 3 года назад +1

      Yeah it's wild, its so nice he's pretty real and tries to learn their language its another good safety measure too knowing what they're saying about him. As a black person in europe when you go on vacation to other european cities its kinda similar people staring at you and talking under their breath, it definitely doesn't feel good so good on him for doing more than most would its so valuable.

    • @JM-kv2kn
      @JM-kv2kn 3 года назад +6

      @@DrawAndErase I don't think they are talking negatively of him. They just find it curious. When I was little I still remember when I saw my first asian person. I was fascinated and yell to my mom that I found a Chinese person. The man laughed and said hi to me. Just like the kid in this video yelled "it's a white person!". I got very excited and I was extremely happy for the rest of the day, to the point that I still remember today. There are different cultures and some are more spoken than others. I actually love that they get curious and speak their mind, you'll find some negative people like anywhere but mostly just innocent curiosity.

I live in Europe now but when I tell people that if a Mzungu visits Uganda he/she would be followed by so many kids but they don't believe me, this video is a testimony now. Good to see what home looks like but also so sad that there is 0 development and the people are even poorer than when I left in 2008.

So glad to hear some other people haven't changed their love for life, and you're right, it can be a hard watch, but he's a genuine man it seems, like mine, and honesty makes my soul soar!.

So im sensing a hostility of small gestures like a condescending perception of it rather than a kind gesture on a equal level. So much to take in.

    I am running out of your vid’s Tommy bc I love youuuu and Josey! This one though made me so so happy seeing that dude so so happy hugging you and explosively joyful🙌🏽 you go everywhere and because you are such a beautiful enigmatic soul people anywhere feel it. I believe that in any place or with any person if you shine with goodness that it affects others energy and energy of situations. Things still can be dicey or uncomfortable in existence right but what we hold inside and put out does steer paths in one way or another. Josey is also a beacon on light, just brings me such joy inside to see y’all together or individually. I travelled a lot globally until I got very Sick with severe lupus with organ involvement..So 11 years no travel except to the mountains yearly to chill. I almost stayed in south Sicilia after 8 years of living there bf I was sick but it was a complicated situation I will say that. I had my 2 oldest daughters in Italia and both have duel citizenship. I know that Ireland seems not your list but perhaps it is. My family/ancestors are from Cork and still have family there. All I want is to go. I know you are Irish and from LI. I was born in Freeport but raised in Suffolk..eventually out on the east end in Eastport..next to Westhamton (Eastport is a little old farming/forested town on the bay..not at all like the Hamptons) my dad live in queens so I had best of both worlds. Woodhaven, ozone park, Jamaica and Richmond hill. I went to the city whenever and knew how to go everywhere at 15 lol. St Marks place and areas of the village where my fave but my dad took us all over. He always said you can’t live in fear, just live so I’d be like 11 walking all over the boroughs and city literally we walked everywhere and it was the best never afraid or had issues. So point is I adore y’all, I think Ireland would be amazing. A country that has been through so much for 800 years. Small, so so much history, colorful one of a kind people, there is still the occupation of the Dublin region which GB still have as theirs..weird borders and still the sentiment of Protestant Brit’s are above Catholic Irish..they disgust at the idea of having an Irish passport..they don’t have to in this area that is all they occupy anymore but the control that is exerted politically, economically and ect is significant. Ireland was the testing ground for England colonization. First enslaved by Vikings in the 1000’s..Dublin was established by Vikings, was the largest slave market in Western Europe. Many Irish were enslaved in Iceland and other places but 40% or so of Iceland were Irish slaves..they revolted in the largest uprising of slaves ever. More was to follow with the Norman conquest and Cromwell and so on. Ireland the only country to have such a lower population now than 100 years ago. We or our families were not indentured servants but slaves. By the hands of England enslaved on our lands and brought to sugar plantations then to other places like you hinted to in Jamaica..also the US. History was written in a way that would not tell of this, slowly historians are recognizing the facts that are so blatantly there. Not word of mouth but written documentation so much of what was done. This is sensitive and my family great great grandparents, their sisters brothers and children bearded so much pain of systemic starvation, slavery, killing and displacement they often were kind but hard disciplinarians bc they experienced the cruelty that exists..then my Mother and father knew little of what I have learned. I research so so much and find some things that I cry over very much but I am able to tell my mother who’s is 68 about our roots and I know this is so important. I say hit up The Mother land Tommy! If so know it is sensitive still bc us Irish are kind simple folk, on the island they I believe are still in fear of poking the bear. 800 years of suffering will do this but the elderly will talk. They speak English bc of colonization but Irish is coming back. I am learning, very difficult just as Icelandic was for me. The parent languages make the difference between rolling into speaking many tongues!!! I think this would be so cool reallyW ok sorry long post-mini novel but let me live vicariously through you Tommy…Sabbatical up in the Motherland cmon🙌🏽❤️✨🙏🏼
