Personally I think Atti you need to start standing up for her if you're there with her and she is the only one being singled out. Let them know that she is your wife, if there's something they have detected like you said they should communicate. They can't keep touching people in the name of screening. They should keep their hands to themselves seriously. If they're not going to do that to everyone else they shouldn't be doing it to her alone. I am sure if she said something they will use it against her and say she is loud, crazy or violent but if you could speak on her behalf they would listen to you. Peace and love to you guys ❤
Yes I was thinking the same. He has a right to ask what's wrong. But sometimes if a woman is wearing a maxi pad or hair pins or wig (not dreads) they will get additional screening. I had hair pins holding my wig on in Germany and the did additional screening and ran fingers through my head then the lady said oh then let me go. Also if someone is early in pregnancy and not visible by looking at the person but the screen picks it up they will search you further. I hope they did not search her based on color that would be stupid of the workers. Because plane terrorist are not always black, in history they have always been a light skin color.
I agree that he should stand up for his wife. Its a scary situation for her and you’re supposed to protect her from harm. Shes being mentally, emotionally, and physically abused! And for what reason? To only amuse themselves and others with their power of position at their place of employment?!?!?!? This is why the world is in turmoil and chaos! Because we dehumanize people and abuse power of positions. We’ve got to stop this bullying of our loved ones. And she should have been made aware of her rights so she could defend her rights. If you went to Africa anf the Military would have shoved you around and made a spectacle out of you???? I bet money your wife would have defended you with her life shielding you from rifles and automatic weapons with her body. When we learn to truly show our love for our loved ones, is when the world wil truly heal and become one with each other and for eachother. I don’t want my grand children to experience racism and prejudice and hatred just for being the perfect example of Gods love. God creates everything and everyone, He doesn’t make mistakes. Im so sorry this happened to your wife. Im sorry for Man Kind, that we haven’t grown or evolved past this point! Imagine how far we’d be and go, if we celebrated each other’s differences as well as acknowledging our similarities and values. She was going on Holiday. No one should be made feel less than when they’re in the company of their spouse. Their life partner. Their one and only, who they should be made feel safe , protected, and above all , have someone at her side she loves and made a pact with to love and to cherish, through the good and the bad. Continued prayers for you both and your journey to continue to be successful and healthy and to be enriched beyond measure
Guys in the western world being married to white guy doesn’t mean that you will be let through just like that. I have had that treatment even me having a German pass and mixed kids it will happen so just be prepared see it positive.
This is soo wrong in many ways yaani,yet when they come to kenya no such things that happen to them or other African countries We can only hope that one day light will shine on us and all this racisim will end sadly 😥 😢
That is the way they are searching everyone with suspicious behavior.I was expecting this will happen because Liz sometimes over reacting and don't bother at all to hide her emotions.Hope she will learn from her husband over time how to behave in public.
Liz I am a black American woman and yes it happened to me as well. We were coming back from Greece, a lot of people went through but they stopped me, had me go through the body scanner, took my bag, put it through the scanner and took everything out of my carry on bag, very negative attitude. Liz, all of that was to aggravate and humiliate me. You’re black, that’s why, we can’t change the way people think, always pray before you travel and God will guard and protect you ❤
Liz please guard your heart ok? Racism is real in Europe🙏🙏For your case I think is a passport you carry!! I remember 22 yrs ago when I arrived in U.K. with my family, they told me to stand aside for hours while my husband (African but EU citizen) went through in 10min!! Forgive them they don’t know what they are doing🙏🙏They are rude and no respect for women (how dare she can do that publicly?). God will continue to fight your battles fear not. Blessings upon blessings to you and Atti ❤️❤️
Liz, I'm so sorry you have to be going through this, but for me racism will never end. This shows clearly that this is definitely discrimination. May Almighty God continue to be with you always..
It is worst in Europe. I remembered i was searched like that in Germany, the searching took so long that i almost missed my flight. I was the last one that checked into flight to Nigeria.
It's not professional for any screening officer to touch your body without your consent and he/she has to explain what he/she going to do. I would call that indecent touching your body. There is nothing wrong with additional screening but when it comes to touching someone body they have to explain the process to look more professional. I feel you Liz.
Liz, unfortunately this is the world we live in! There’s racism everywhere we go so don’t take it personal! It’s happened to me and millions of others! You are not the only one so do t feel As if you are! “ YOU ARE NOT!” Just be happy living your married life and keep busy and always stay positive in spite of it all!Dont ever let anyone or any situation take away the joy God has put in your ❤
Truly, this was do degrading and upsetting to hear this happened to you. I am of mixed race and do experience discrimination sometimes at the airport, especially when I was visiting Europe. I am wondering in your case, if someone tip off immigration to cause you distress. Please pray about this to go away, I will keep you in my prayers.
You should have been asked if you are fine doing secondary screening in the open; they should have an area for this in-depth screening. You are also within your rights to write to their office about your experiences. There is no place in this modern era for discrimination of any sorts☹️
They will not listen to complaints as this is their job officially doing it infront of a camera.The only way out is to accept and go through situations like this smoothly being coordinative without being bothered at all..
I use to go through the same thing for years my dear. I felt exactly the same way you felt. Sometimes it use to take hour before they let me go. But as soon as I got British passport I have never been stopped. Only happened during my Kenyan passport time
Well,,,, Annette also went through racial discrimination at the airpot in Europe. The interesting part is that most Africans who are being racially profiled or discriminated at these western countries, usually dismiss it as standard procedure, while they know very well that IT IS NOT people doing their job but it's people being racists. We know it, and they know it too. Maybe Atti should ask more questions in this regard and perhaps also volunteer to be screened just like his wife too even though they tell him to go,,,, you know help the dedicated staff of the airpot do their job thoroughly to ALL passengers??? who knows, maybe they might even get an employee of the year award for searching a white man too🙄. My last and sincere advise, Please start exploring other options for your family in Africa because you will have children & chances are, they will look like both of you instead of looking like Atti alone, so they will also be victims of the same discrimination too. Africa guys, AFRICA! ❤❤ (& this is as respectful as I could be considering how disgusted I am)
Oh my daughter Liz this are part of the changes you will expect when you are out there just shake it off and move on Do not carry it as long as you are out there your colour will attract attract We pray that you will always be safe out there be encouraged
You are right to think racial discrimination, it is real.History of crocked foreign dealers and smugglers doesn’t help. But she was wrong not to explain the procedure before performing it on you. That’s the sad reality of life.
So sorry for what you went through Liz. It is so sad because African countries treat all kinds of people the same on arrival. Racism should end honestly.
No no no rooms Liz. Better infront of people because rooms they can plant anything for you so openly you can always justify and it’s not easy for them mishandling you. So openly is always good even if it’s humiliating.
Liz I feel you. I'm in the US and that happens to me always whenever I m visiting a different state! This is very unfair and humiliating. This security guys should prepare someone and tell them why they are doing additional screening. This people are racists!!
Omg sorry Liz about that bad experience but hun believe me anytime you travel international as a black African expect such things my case was even worser in that they had to bring a dog 🐕 to check me 😭😭😭 I cried my heart out and they ruined 😡 my vacation until I lost my esteem to travel to those countries anymore
Habari...get used to it, even my Half-Kenyan boy gets always picked in here in Berlin in public transport or when the police is looking for a trouble maker...he got over all of this and that made him stronger, dont get aggrovated just smile and pole pole❤
Oooooooooooh my God so sorry dear Liz😢😢,racism will not end 😢😢but only God knows,but what can i say when you arrive there Atti must speak on behalf on you because you are alone there and they must respect you 😢😢❤❤
I'm a Muslim woman living in America. Once, when I was traveling to California alone at the airport, they had me go through extra security ....no one else had to!!
In NY, everyone has to take off their shoes, belts, hats, and jackets, and if the full body scan shows anything suspicious, then you're patted at that area. That was too much & you can file a complaint for being singled out & humiliated. Safety checks are important but should be done respectfully. Sorry about your experiences.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that Liz it feels terrible I know 🙃 even if I’m biracial and quite light I had to go through it aswell in Turkey! Maybe it was the underwrite bra or sth i dunno 🙃 we will go through such stuff unfortunately in our lives but pray for our safety ❤️
That has happened to me before when I went to America. In the olden days to do such a body they used to take the person into a room. Now a days they don’t take someone into a room but also they don’t touch your body that much due to sexual harassment. Some officials can also have a power complex and love to use that to do body search and some people can be racist I got search in America and that’s full of black officials and I’m black
They do that in my country Jamaica whenever I'm traveling to the US. And it's done whenever you're leaving the US. But in your case it seems intense. Maybe that person just want to touch you to feel if you different because of your colour😂 In my little island extra screening is done randomly where you're screen additional by checking carry on luggage, purse. But keep yours eyes open and ask next time. 😊😊
I am a Jamaican living in the USA and is well travelled. Only in Europe airports am I visibly discriminated against. Athen, Greece and Budapest, Hungary were my worst experience.
Hi Liz and Atti, some people get picked at random because they look suspicious others get picked depending on the country they're traveling to. I watch programs on the television when people are traveling to Australia ;" boarder control." They are very serious when checking you and your belongings.
It’s pure racism. It happened to me in Germany while transiting to England when I was deliberately picked out and extra checked, mind you I was the only black there. I was asked why am I going to England 🏴 very intimidating. I wasn’t even stopping in Germany 🇩🇪 for goodness sake, I was transiting. Only when I get to the UK 🇬🇧 I am expected to be asked those questions by immigration officers and they didn’t even ask me that since my passport had residency stamp.
If you had already been X rayed then there is no reason why you should be body searched in the manner that you were.Security officers should not have the right to touch people’s body without explaining why and with one’s permission.If people talk about this enough this might bring about change.Your hair and looks is not a contributing factor “ I t is the reason” yes I believe it was racial profiling.
I live in US and in a certain state they always pat me down and it makes me mad and I was also treated badly on a train once. But they treated your wife like that because she’s black and they might get messy with you if you say something. You saying something might work and it might make the situation worst. Pray on it also discuss it with your close family and get there thought on the situation.
I’m sorry that happened to you. I had it happened to me in Germany twice both times leaving but it’s crazy. They have too much authority and they don’t tell you what their authority is nor do they tell you what they’re gonna do they just pick you and that’s it.
Hi Liz as a person who travels alot there is a lot to learn about culture, experiences etc… be smart… n learn to stand up 4 ur rights (tactfully). With screening it’s a lot more common than u think. Learn to be diplomatic n know u will go through this multiple times… A lot of the screening is also based on ur country of origin… it will happen over n over. They flag especially Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somali n some other countries I can’t name….Wait till u visit Canada or USA…
🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️pole mtoto watu! Ngai..kwani alifikiria wewe ni mbao.....she was that curious to even massage you??....this is so shocking. Anyway: 1: Atti please stand up for your wife even if it means speaking your mother tongue there! 2: Racism will always be there....how many African people live or visit Hungary?? But this is no good reason to "massage" you infront of everyone. She should have asked you politely to a private room. You better also start questioning what's happening or why this, you have a right because not every time Atti will be accompanying you.. 3: An official complaint should be filed. This will bring attention to other officials within the airport. Not every person is same. Pole sana Liz....I hope next time, will be better for you. And you will always be looking forward to visit Anya. God bless.🙏🏾
It's very painful and humiliating so it's best for husband Attie stand up for you and deal with them where he see you being ill treated God's grace is upon you pray and have faith
Yes! I'm celebrating £32K stock portfolio today... Started this journey with £3K.... I've invested no time and also with the right terms, now I have time for my family an…
when someone is straight forward and good at what she does best. People will always speak for them. For me I can would say give Mrs Anna of finance education a try and you be happy you did
I think it’s the dreadlocks as well, cause I find that when I travel with my natural hair they don’t stop me, but when I have braids or faux locks on I get called aside a lot
Liz a week ago I was travelling from Canada, I went through the scan, and after that told me they would pat me down, but they asked if would like to do it in private or outside, but they have to communicate that to you. I was travelling with 3 others who didn’t go through the screening. I was selected to be screened before I reached the airport. I chose to stay and be searched in front of everyone.
I am not surprised. I even was a little concerned for you when you moved to the UK. Culture shock is an understatement. Atti, please stand up for your wife. Treatment like this is very traumatizing and unfair. Safe travels for when you do travel.
Sis, this is racial discrimination 101. Next time ask why you’re being searched first especially if it becomes intrusive, like why would she check in between your toes? After living in America, there’s no benefit to keeping quiet in these situations. Show them that you see what they are doing, and you’re not stupid, and you’ll not be violated while they satisfy their racist egos. Your husband being white is a big advantage. You can make as much noise as you want.
Yes this has happened to me when I use to come back from Jamaica to Chicago. In fact one time my two friend were all in separate spots picking up our luggage from baggage claim. The agent kept bringing the dog to me. Then after we got our bags we were all pulled into separate rooms. Two woman had gloves on going through my hair. My other girlfriend was made to take out her used sanitary napkin. She was in tears. We were reported by the flight attendant only bc we were quietly laughing about our beautiful vacation. In fact it was so many complaints about blacks being searched, there was a investigation. It stopped. I go to Mexico 3 times a year and I am only searched bc I have 8 screws in my back. My beautiful and loving couple, you have been targeted. Love you guys so much. I am so sorry.
My advice to my little Sister here, this will happen a lot to you as a black woman living in the West, sometimes it’s Racial discrimination sometimes it’s not, our hair especially give triggers, you have to grow a thick skin, a good officer will explain to you why they are searching you, Do not be afraid to Speak up n Ask Questions, You can also ask to be searched in Private it’s your Right, Your husband should also Speak up especially if you are in a country where you don’t speak the language n he does Most Important don’t let it bother you or ruin your day, Some of those officers are Jealous of you, I mean a black girl travelling the World n most people f them the farthest they have gone is that Airport to work lol 😂 Most importantly if you see Racism Speak up, Ask Questions you can’t go to Jail for asking Questions unless you are in North Korea 🤣🤣🤣 Best of Luck ❤
OMG I am so sorry really Thank you soo much for the heads up about such treatments to us Really that was so uncalled for Even when doing her work but to let you know We are all human beings after all It’s soo sad that in 2024 this is happening So sorry guys
Im sorry girl that wasn't good we are all human beings and they shouldn't discriminate but thanks for sharing be blessed and please support me. Im watching from Kenya.
In Kenya I went to Westgate and I was behind a white lady they didn't search her bag but when I went through the lady asked to search my bag I asked her to call the white lady back and search her first or else I won't let her,she let me pass through 😊
Annette Wa Slavi once also had a racial screening but let me tell you, u can't handle that treatment if you aren't strong enough. It is racism no need to marinate it but we are black n we love ourselves so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pole Liz. You are a Jewel skin colour not withstanding. I suggest that you complain to the Airport management IN WRITING to create awareness at least and expose the racial discrimination. That was harassment of the highest order. Stand up to be counted against such injustice. Otherwise thanks for sharing and keep up the spirit. There is no lesser human bringing God's eyes👍
I'm sorry if this message will sound rude.. I would politely ask the officer if I could remove my cloths for proper search!!!. That's so uncooth of that officer..!
Just keep it in mind that we blacks are discriminated in many cases so just feel proud of who you are, as long as you didn't do anything wrong, Allah knows what is within our hearts. May Allah grant us understanding and forgiveness
Liz in Europe trafficking black girls and using them to move drugs and prostitution is very common. You were at the airport with a European male in a city that black people never go to . On a positive note , they did it to protect you.
Liz ! Is left with few minutes to finish listening and watching this video but I felt like commenting b/4 it is too late. I was also travelling with my 18 years girl from one of the European countries to Us this June for a short holidays , we were flying from Frankfurt. After passing through the scanning machine, they also singled my daughter and took a simple under her canvas and checked it in the machine and some few seconds they told her to go . Besides we were having European passport. Secondly. I think Liz ! You have to pray for Divine favour whenever you are travelling. Because some of these things you may think is normal but sometimes the enemy uses people in every area to frustrate your life. he is a liar and is ready defeated . May be because you are still using the Kenyan 🇰🇪 passport that’s why . Be blessed 🙏🏽
I am not lying this has made me feel so mad! Like it has made my heart race😡! Why do this people pick on us so much and I have seen it before! This won't end but please Liz next time you need to ask them why you all the time! We have to speak up! She needed to explain every step before she even touch you!
I have experienced the same ordeal in Malaga Airport in Spain. I got so furious and I told them point blank that they are rasists. I caused a 5 minutes drama, they did not say anything, actually they got embarrased😅
It has nothing to do with Atti. It's not okay but procedure are procedure. I used to live in the Netherlands and they had bad experience with people from my country with drugs transportation so we all have to go through a severe check. I hated it also but now it has been changed. Liz she was being annoying, disrespectful and to much. Keep your beautiful locs. It's not only color but also the passport. I'm sorry that you felt that way. I traveled to Hungary too but I didn't experienced that at all. You must enter complain against them if it happens next time. ❤️ you
So sorry you had to go through all of this humiliation Rest assured it will continue Speak up like you are doing now. You were violated Hope they are watching and understand the language
We traveled to France in June and no additional scanning/screening occurred. We are a family of three and we are African American. I would say don't start looking for racism and just keep things positive, if you are wondering anything ask questions, and definitely have people explain things before they start touching you.
That is racial discrimination. Period. I went through that in Hong-Kong Airport and it was really sad and embarrassing. They kept me in a special area for further questioning and I found three other Africans there being extra screened. 😢
My dear it happened to me when I was in Amsterdam going to the US, but since it was just a one time thing I didn't really mind it. I'm sorry it's happened to you a lot I know how it feels because I didn't like it either
Liz your videos are amazingly helpful and you want people to know what is happening behind the scenes in the airport and people must not be amazed when it happens to them.Liz don't mind people listening to answer not to understand the video Love you lots ❤❤❤❤❤
Liz that behavior is unacceptable, period. I work in an airport in Kenya and we must at ALL times respect all our clients regardless of race, religion or color. She should have explained to you what she was about to do. My apologies 😐 Atti, next time demand to know why and what they looking for. Don't shy away!
It is a very frustrating process. My wife who is Kenyan was subjected to the same kind of treatment at JKIA in front of all other passengers queuing. She was searched everywhere only to find nothing
The UK is very diverse. But a place like you mentioned...I see it as intimidation and passive aggression. I agree with the comments below to let Atti step in and at least ask why. So sorry this happened.
Yes Liz. It is not random when black women are searched, I always feel it's done to humiliate us. And gives the officers a feeling of power!
EXACTLY! You hit the nail on the head
Personally I think Atti you need to start standing up for her if you're there with her and she is the only one being singled out. Let them know that she is your wife, if there's something they have detected like you said they should communicate. They can't keep touching people in the name of screening. They should keep their hands to themselves seriously. If they're not going to do that to everyone else they shouldn't be doing it to her alone. I am sure if she said something they will use it against her and say she is loud, crazy or violent but if you could speak on her behalf they would listen to you. Peace and love to you guys ❤
True 😢 I don't want Liz to suffer there
Yes I was thinking the same. He has a right to ask what's wrong. But sometimes if a woman is wearing a maxi pad or hair pins or wig (not dreads) they will get additional screening. I had hair pins holding my wig on in Germany and the did additional screening and ran fingers through my head then the lady said oh then let me go. Also if someone is early in pregnancy and not visible by looking at the person but the screen picks it up they will search you further. I hope they did not search her based on color that would be stupid of the workers. Because plane terrorist are not always black, in history they have always been a light skin color.
I agree that he should stand up for his wife. Its a scary situation for her and you’re supposed to protect her from harm. Shes being mentally, emotionally, and physically abused! And for what reason? To only amuse themselves and others with their power of position at their place of employment?!?!?!? This is why the world is in turmoil and chaos!

Im so sorry this happened to your wife. Im sorry for Man Kind, that we haven’t grown or evolved past this point! Imagine how far we’d be and go, if we celebrated each other’s differences as well as acknowledging our similarities and values. She was going on Holiday. No one should be made feel less than when they’re in the company of their spouse. Their life partner. Their one and only, who they should be made feel safe , protected, and above all , have someone at her side she loves and made a pact with to love and to cherish, through the good and the bad.
Continued prayers for you both and your journey to continue to be successful and healthy and to be enriched beyond measure
Guys in the western world being married to white guy doesn’t mean that you will be let through just like that. I have had that treatment even me having a German pass and mixed kids it will happen so just be prepared see it positive.
I stand with your advice 👍
Discrimination never ends. It's always our colour Liz. Sorry you have to go through all of that uncomfortable situation
It is discrimination
This is soo wrong in many ways yaani,yet when they come to kenya no such things that happen to them or other African countries
We can only hope that one day light will shine on us and all this racisim will end sadly 😥 😢
It’s racism , that happened to me in Bangkok, they choose me in line, only because I was black , it sucks!!
OMG 😢. If you feel you were not treated properly or touched inappropriately by an officer, where can one launch a complaint? This is so disgusting
That is the way they are searching everyone with suspicious behavior.I was expecting this will happen because Liz sometimes over reacting and don't bother at all to hide her emotions.Hope she will learn from her husband over time how to behave in public.
I'm so sorry that you had to go through that 😮. It's great that you are speaking out good for you!!
Liz I am a black American woman and yes it happened to me as well. We were coming back from Greece, a lot of people went through but they stopped me, had me go through the body scanner, took my bag, put it through the scanner and took everything out of my carry on bag, very negative attitude. Liz, all of that was to aggravate and humiliate me. You’re black, that’s why, we can’t change the way people think, always pray before you travel and God will guard and protect you ❤
This is the right answer prayer comes first God bless you !!
Sorry you went through all that Liz.........much love Mama❤❤❤❤❤
Liz please guard your heart ok? Racism is real in Europe🙏🙏For your case I think is a passport you carry!! I remember 22 yrs ago when I arrived in U.K. with my family, they told me to stand aside for hours while my husband (African but EU citizen) went through in 10min!! Forgive them they don’t know what they are doing🙏🙏They are rude and no respect for women (how dare she can do that publicly?). God will continue to fight your battles fear not. Blessings upon blessings to you and Atti ❤️❤️
So sorry Liz for going through this kind of discrimination. We love you. They did that to my sister too.
Liz, I'm so sorry you have to be going through this, but for me racism will never end. This shows clearly that this is definitely discrimination. May Almighty God continue to be with you always..
It is worst in Europe. I remembered i was searched like that in Germany, the searching took so long that i almost missed my flight. I was the last one that checked into flight to Nigeria.
Sorry Liz for going through such a crazy screening that is pure racism🤦.
It's definitely racism...smh.. I pray for your wisdom in dealing with this kind of behavior.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's not professional for any screening officer to touch your body without your consent and he/she has to explain what he/she going to do. I would call that indecent touching your body. There is nothing wrong with additional screening but when it comes to touching someone body they have to explain the process to look more professional. I feel you Liz.
I feel your frustrations Liz😢
Liz, unfortunately this is the world we live in! There’s racism everywhere we go so don’t take it personal! It’s happened to me and millions of others! You are not the only one so do t feel
As if you are! “ YOU ARE NOT!” Just be happy living your married life and keep busy and always stay positive in spite of it all!Dont ever let anyone or any situation take away the joy God has put in your ❤
Truly, this was do degrading and upsetting to hear this happened to you. I am of mixed race and do experience discrimination sometimes at the airport, especially when I was visiting Europe.
I am wondering in your case, if someone tip off immigration to cause you distress.
Please pray about this to go away, I will keep you in my prayers.

Oh my days, thats sad, im glad its easier for you now🥰
I know some people who have been caught with drugs at the airport and this has led to Such Situations
Well,,,, Annette also went through racial discrimination at the airpot in Europe.

My last and sincere advise, Please start exploring other options for your family in Africa because you will have children & chances are, they will look like both of you instead of looking like Atti alone, so they will also be victims of the same discrimination too. Africa guys, AFRICA! ❤❤ (& this is as respectful as I could be considering how disgusted I am)
Oh my daughter Liz this are part of the changes you will expect when you are out there just shake it off and move on
Do not carry it as long as you are out there your colour will attract attract

When they come to our beautful contry in Africa are they treated like that? What makes people feel they are superior?
Sometimes i feels like taking revenges here though difficult since we are not born like that .
Seems like that was too much that they made you go through. I am so sorry❣️🙏🏾
I'm really sorry Liz that really sucks..
Habari...get used to it, even my Half-Kenyan boy gets always picked in here in Berlin in public transport or when the police is looking for a trouble maker...he got over all of this and that made him stronger, dont get aggrovated just smile and pole pole❤
Oooooooooooh my God so sorry dear Liz😢😢,racism will not end 😢😢but only God knows,but what can i say when you arrive there Atti must speak on behalf on you because you are alone there and they must respect you 😢😢❤❤
So sorry for what happened, sending love from Zimbabwe
Liz it is racial discrimination, we can't pretend otherwise
I'm a Muslim woman living in America. Once, when I was traveling to California alone at the airport, they had me go through extra security ....no one else had to!!
That's because they call us terrorists. Who are the real war mongers
In NY, everyone has to take off their shoes, belts, hats, and jackets, and if the full body scan shows anything suspicious, then you're patted at that area. That was too much & you can file a complaint for being singled out & humiliated. Safety checks are important but should be done respectfully. Sorry about your experiences.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that Liz it feels terrible I know 🙃 even if I’m biracial and quite light I had to go through it aswell in Turkey! Maybe it was the underwrite bra or sth i dunno 🙃 we will go through such stuff unfortunately in our lives but pray for our safety ❤️
Y'all look good together ❤
Sorry for that Liz
That has happened to me before when I went to America. In the olden days to do such a body they used to take the person into a room. Now a days they don’t take someone into a room but also they don’t touch your body that much due to sexual harassment. Some officials can also have a power complex and love to use that to do body search and some people can be racist I got search in America and that’s full of black officials and I’m black
Racial profiling is what it was. Pure discrimination. Next time ask what she is looking for. Atti stand up for your wife
They do that in my country Jamaica whenever I'm traveling to the US.
And it's done whenever you're leaving the US.
But in your case it seems intense.
Maybe that person just want to touch you to feel if you different because of your colour😂
In my little island extra screening is done randomly where you're screen additional by checking carry on luggage, purse.
But keep yours eyes open and ask next time.
😊😊
Sorry for what you went through.
I am a Jamaican living in the USA and is well travelled. Only in Europe airports am I visibly discriminated against. Athen, Greece and Budapest, Hungary were my worst experience.
Sis do what makes you feel better ❤❤
Hi Liz and Atti, some people get picked at random because they look suspicious others get picked depending on the country they're traveling to. I watch programs on the television when people are traveling to Australia ;" boarder control." They are very serious when checking you and your belongings.
It’s pure racism. It happened to me in Germany while transiting to England when I was deliberately picked out and extra checked, mind you I was the only black there. I was asked why am I going to England 🏴 very intimidating. I wasn’t even stopping in Germany 🇩🇪 for goodness sake, I was transiting. Only when I get to the UK 🇬🇧 I am expected to be asked those questions by immigration officers and they didn’t even ask me that since my passport had residency stamp.
If you had already been X rayed then there is no reason why you should be body searched in the manner that you were.Security officers should not have the right to touch people’s body without explaining why and with one’s permission.If people talk about this enough this might bring about change.Your hair and looks is not a contributing factor “ I t is the reason” yes I believe it was racial profiling.
I live in US and in a certain state they always pat me down and it makes me mad and I was also treated badly on a train once. But they treated your wife like that because she’s black and they might get messy with you if you say something. You saying something might work and it might make the situation worst. Pray on it also discuss it with your close family and get there thought on the situation.
I’m sorry that happened to you. I had it happened to me in Germany twice both times leaving but it’s crazy. They have too much authority and they don’t tell you what their authority is nor do they tell you what they’re gonna do they just pick you and that’s it.
Racism will never ende😢
It will end someday
It's like tribalism
It will never end, but black people need to expose all this racists people over the world..and treat them at the same way they treat black people
Hi Liz as a person who travels alot there is a lot to learn about culture, experiences etc… be smart… n learn to stand up 4 ur rights (tactfully). With screening it’s a lot more common than u think. Learn to be diplomatic n know u will go through this multiple times… A lot of the screening is also based on ur country of origin… it will happen over n over. They flag especially Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somali n some other countries I can’t name….Wait till u visit Canada or USA…
🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️🙆🏿♀️pole mtoto watu! Ngai..kwani alifikiria wewe ni mbao.....she was that curious to even massage you??....this is so shocking. Anyway:
1: Atti please stand up for your wife even if it means speaking your mother tongue there!
2: Racism will always be there....how many African people live or visit Hungary?? But this is no good reason to "massage" you infront of everyone. She should have asked you politely to a private room. You better also start questioning what's happening or why this, you have a right because not every time Atti will be accompanying you..
3: An official complaint should be filed. This will bring attention to other officials within the airport. Not every person is same.
Pole sana Liz....I hope next time, will be better for you. And you will always be looking forward to visit Anya. God bless.🙏🏾
Omg Liz, I'm so sorry for what you went through racism is a the worst.😢
It's very painful and humiliating so it's best for husband Attie stand up for you and deal with them where he see you being ill treated
God's grace is upon you pray and have faith
I'm favoured, $22K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.
As a beginner what do I need to do? How can I invest, on which platform? If you know any please share.
Yes! I'm celebrating £32K stock portfolio today...
Started this journey with £3K.... I've invested no time and also with the right terms, now I have time for my family an…
when someone is straight forward and good at what she does best. People will always speak for them. For me I can would say give Mrs Anna of finance education a try and you be happy you did
Started with 5,000$ and Withdrew profits
89,000$
I'm glad to write her tay I do hope she will help handle my paycheck properly☺️☺️☺️
I think it’s the dreadlocks as well, cause I find that when I travel with my natural hair they don’t stop me, but when I have braids or faux locks on I get called aside a lot
Liz a week ago I was travelling from Canada, I went through the scan, and after that told me they would pat me down, but they asked if would like to do it in private or outside, but they have to communicate that to you. I was travelling with 3 others who didn’t go through the screening. I was selected to be screened before I reached the airport. I chose to stay and be searched in front of everyone.
I am not surprised. I even was a little concerned for you when you moved to the UK. Culture shock is an understatement. Atti, please stand up for your wife. Treatment like this is very traumatizing and unfair. Safe travels for when you do travel.
Sis, this is racial discrimination 101. Next time ask why you’re being searched first especially if it becomes intrusive, like why would she check in between your toes? After living in America, there’s no benefit to keeping quiet in these situations. Show them that you see what they are doing, and you’re not stupid, and you’ll not be violated while they satisfy their racist egos. Your husband being white is a big advantage. You can make as much noise as you want.
Am sad 😔 and i hope time will come when humans will treat everyone the same no matter the race or religion...
Hugs Liz❤
I hope so too❤
It's time for your husband to speak up and defend you in those situations
True
True...thus what I was coming to say
Exactly 💯
Sure, Atti should speak up Liz.
Second one to enter 😂South Africa is in the house 🙏💞🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Yes this has happened to me when I use to come back from Jamaica to Chicago. In fact one time my two friend were all in separate spots picking up our luggage from baggage claim. The agent kept bringing the dog to me. Then after we got our bags we were all pulled into separate rooms. Two woman had gloves on going through my hair. My other girlfriend was made to take out her used sanitary napkin. She was in tears. We were reported by the flight attendant only bc we were quietly laughing about our beautiful vacation. In fact it was so many complaints about blacks being searched, there was a investigation. It stopped. I go to Mexico 3 times a year and I am only searched bc I have 8 screws in my back. My beautiful and loving couple, you have been targeted. Love you guys so much. I am so sorry.
🫶🏾🫶🏾
Sending love 😘💗 to you Lizz.... Just know that we love you and you are always loved
Omg I’m embarrassed for Liz , that’s a crazy situation.
My advice to my little Sister here, this will happen a lot to you as a black woman living in the West, sometimes it’s Racial discrimination sometimes it’s not, our hair especially give triggers, you have to grow a thick skin, a good officer will explain to you why they are searching you, Do not be afraid to Speak up n Ask Questions, You can also ask to be searched in Private it’s your Right, Your husband should also Speak up especially if you are in a country where you don’t speak the language n he does
Most Important don’t let it bother you or ruin your day, Some of those officers are Jealous of you, I mean a black girl travelling the World n most people f them the farthest they have gone is that Airport to work lol 😂
Most importantly if you see Racism Speak up, Ask Questions you can’t go to Jail for asking Questions unless you are in North Korea 🤣🤣🤣
Best of Luck ❤
OMG
I am so sorry really
Thank you soo much for the heads up about such treatments to us
Really that was so uncalled for
Even when doing her work but to let you know
We are all human beings after all
It’s soo sad that in 2024 this is happening
So sorry guys
Im sorry girl that wasn't good we are all human beings and they shouldn't discriminate but thanks for sharing be blessed and please support me. Im watching from Kenya.
In Kenya I went to Westgate and I was behind a white lady they didn't search her bag but when I went through the lady asked to search my bag I asked her to call the white lady back and search her first or else I won't let her,she let me pass through 😊
Whaat?! That person should be ashamed, proud of you for standing up for yourself boldly ❤️
@@liz_atti yeah ridiculous and that's a Kenyan like me in my own country, their are those people who are racist
Your husband should support you all the time
Take care
I am sorry you went through this humiliating experience. #racialdiscrimination.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Annette Wa Slavi once also had a racial screening but let me tell you, u can't handle that treatment if you aren't strong enough.
It is racism no need to marinate it but we are black n we love ourselves so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Liz you are not alone . I have been humiliated several times but because of my color.
😢😢😢 this made me so sad.....
Pole Liz. You are a Jewel skin colour not withstanding. I suggest that you complain to the Airport management IN WRITING to create awareness at least and expose the racial discrimination. That was harassment of the highest order. Stand up to be counted against such injustice.
Otherwise thanks for sharing and keep up the spirit. There is no lesser human bringing God's eyes👍
True God created us all in His perfection
I'm sorry if this message will sound rude.. I would politely ask the officer if I could remove my cloths for proper search!!!. That's so uncooth of that officer..!
Oh no ! they even not trusting their machine 🥹
Just keep it in mind that we blacks are discriminated in many cases so just feel proud of who you are, as long as you didn't do anything wrong, Allah knows what is within our hearts.
May Allah grant us understanding and forgiveness
Wow im so so sorry Liz.......this airport should trend. Thats abuse😢
Good morning my lovely couple❤❤watching frm south africa 🇿🇦
Liz in Europe trafficking black girls and using them to move drugs and prostitution is very common. You were at the airport with a European male in a city that black people never go to . On a positive note , they did it to protect you.
Liz ! Is left with few minutes to finish listening and watching this video but I felt like commenting b/4 it is too late. I was also travelling with my 18 years girl from one of the European countries to Us this June for a short holidays , we were flying from Frankfurt. After passing through the scanning machine, they also singled my daughter and took a simple under her canvas and checked it in the machine and some few seconds they told her to go . Besides we were having European passport.
Secondly. I think Liz ! You have to pray for Divine favour whenever you are travelling. Because some of these things you may think is normal but sometimes the enemy uses people in every area to frustrate your life. he is a liar and is ready defeated .
May be because you are still using the Kenyan 🇰🇪 passport that’s why . Be blessed 🙏🏽
I heard Annette from Annette and Slavi went through the same but in Turkey.
I am not lying this has made me feel so mad! Like it has made my heart race😡! Why do this people pick on us so much and I have seen it before! This won't end but please Liz next time you need to ask them why you all the time! We have to speak up! She needed to explain every step before she even touch you!
I have experienced the same ordeal in Malaga Airport in Spain. I got so furious and I told them point blank that they are rasists. I caused a 5 minutes drama, they did not say anything, actually they got embarrased😅
It has nothing to do with Atti. It's not okay but procedure are procedure. I used to live in the Netherlands and they had bad experience with people from my country with drugs transportation so we all have to go through a severe check. I hated it also but now it has been changed. Liz she was being annoying, disrespectful and to much. Keep your beautiful locs. It's not only color but also the passport. I'm sorry that you felt that way. I traveled to Hungary too but I didn't experienced that at all. You must enter complain against them if it happens next time. ❤️ you
So sorry 😢about Liz
Yes sisy I went through that in Tanzania wen I was coming qatar I was disappointed the whole day
So sorry you had to go through all of this humiliation Rest assured it will continue Speak up like you are doing now. You were violated Hope they are watching and understand the language
Hmmmmmmmm nice sharing your experience with us and hopefully it changes 😢you are both looking good 👍 ❤
We traveled to France in June and no additional scanning/screening occurred. We are a family of three and we are African American. I would say don't start looking for racism and just keep things positive, if you are wondering anything ask questions, and definitely have people explain things before they start touching you.
waaah pole Liz that one was so frustrating.
I'm so sorry liz
That is racial discrimination. Period. I went through that in Hong-Kong Airport and it was really sad and embarrassing. They kept me in a special area for further questioning and I found three other Africans there being extra screened. 😢
Atti when such happens again pls try and speak up for your wife.i think if you tell them is your wife they will take caution plssssss
My dear it happened to me when I was in Amsterdam going to the US, but since it was just a one time thing I didn't really mind it. I'm sorry it's happened to you a lot I know how it feels because I didn't like it either
Liz your videos are amazingly helpful and you want people to know what is happening behind the scenes in the airport and people must not be amazed when it happens to them.Liz don't mind people listening to answer not to understand the video Love you lots ❤❤❤❤❤
Liz that behavior is unacceptable, period. I work in an airport in Kenya and we must at ALL times respect all our clients regardless of race, religion or color. She should have explained to you what she was about to do. My apologies 😐
Atti, next time demand to know why and what they looking for. Don't shy away!
It is a very frustrating process. My wife who is Kenyan was subjected to the same kind of treatment at JKIA in front of all other passengers queuing. She was searched everywhere only to find nothing
The UK is very diverse. But a place like you mentioned...I see it as intimidation and passive aggression. I agree with the comments below to let Atti step in and at least ask why. So sorry this happened.
