      Hey Asian boss. Another great interesting video with another famous celebrity on. But I have to say, it's another video about black people being part of Koreans' racism against blacks. And follows that same narrative you would find in the west. But, don't you think it's really not quite the same as it applies to Korea when in fact the first presence of black people in Korea was with the US military. And they came into Korea along with whites as more of a people in power and perpetrators and not as victims. I mean you would have to look no further than some of the half black celebrities like In Soon Yi, Yoon Mi Rae, and others. They were basically dumped in Korean peninsula and left there. I know it's part of Korea that's shameful. But there's this big hole that's not not talked about, and I think is part a more accurate story than what is presented here.

Sam had the courage and perseverance and stayed in Korea, learned Korean fluently and made something of himself. But your husband didn't have the strength nor tenacity and refused to learn Korean and whinges why he couldn’t get a job in Korea - playing a typical victim! He had to runaway back to a familiar environment! How's living in the USA now?

    As a Korean, whenever I hear about the discrimination of black people in Korea, feel so sorry and get embarrassed. To write a few, Korea was quite closed to foreign people. So people over 60 literally discriminates foreingers. Because of the Hollywood movies and some cultural trends, they surely prefer white and are scared of black. But people like Sam is trying so hard to change the point of view, and also the generation is being changed. As Young people in Korea are very opened and we know the manner, Korea will be different and better from now. I hope that I could see Koreans hanging around freely with various people from the world soon.

      Victoria Lee This is nice to hear- I wonder though, how do young people in Korea learn about racism towards foreigners (and how to stop it)? it seems like it would be difficult. Is it through people like Sam who share their experiences with racism, or by researching online?

    • @iameubbb
      @iameubbb 8 лет назад +185

      Well I think the biggest reason is younger ones are more educated than before, and we have more opportunity to go outside of Korea and meet various people. Also Sam and others changed the view too. So we don't get educated by school or organizations, I think we are just getting involved in international flow and our moral minds are gettigbetter and better. Am I giving the right answer?

      november132 All three places you mentioned are places where hope is stifled by racism from whites, inequality in education and the justice system, police brutality and the legacy of apartheid/Jim Crow. He is Ghanaian, his subconscious thoughts are not that he lives in a society where his life is valued less or that his livelihood or his life can be taken from him on the basis of skin color by Neanderthals.
      So next time you want to compare blacks from majority black countries vs ones where whites are the majority think long and hard about what makes them different.

    In August 2020, Sam Okyere made an instagram post condemning the use of Blackface in a South Korean graduation photo. He got a TON of flack and criticism, thousands of racist comments and remarks including "Go pick some cotton, Go back to Africa" etc. He eventually APOLOGIZED for making the post and deleted as if Sam was in the wrong!
    Blackface in all its forms is incredibly racist and offensive regardless of its intention. Sam Okyere was absolutely right to criticize its use, and it's disgusting and disturbing that through his protest he was viewed as the bad guy. Koreans have a long way to go in terms of race relations if this is how they treat their most prominent black celebrity.

    I can honestly say, learning Korean can really help you gain respect from the people. The elders loved me, the young girls happily talked to me. The soldiers treated me to dinner a lot. My favorite incident was being complemented by an elderly lady about my skin smoothness and even complexion. Sadly there are some rude people though. Didn’t break my stride, old ladies made my experience better..oh and soju..that helps.

      You shouldn't have to learn their language for them to accept you. They should accept you because you are a person. Put the shoe on the other foot: Should they learn English before all other English-speaking people accept them? That's the worst justification I have ever heard. I am black and wouldn't change it, nor would I accommodate by way of learning another person's language. South Korea is a technological advanced country. They have access to information. They can enlighten themselves if they truly want to. They choose to live in the dark.

      I'm not justifying Korean racism or anything, racism in South Korea mainly came from unfamiliarity and prejudice, so approaching them so they become familiar with you is one of the way to reduce the racism, nothing wrong with that. To remove racism need to works from the both way, you can't expect someone to accept you while you're doing nothing.

      Great comment! We as black people need to realize not every society automatically knows our history. Explanation and just relating are the best racial barriers because really there's only one race, the human race. And that is always relatable. Also, alot of the agressive behavior comes from hundreds of years of having to survive, and when your ancestors are raped and sold from their families, the need to be strong becomes ingrained into the generations even til this day. Theres lots of other reasons why, and I'm not saying its ok to be aggressive, I just wanted to explain a little some of my culture. The reason I'm at this video is because I'm wanting to learn more about yours 😊
