The thing I love about this is it wasn't "because I'm a minority too" or "I know what discrimination is like". This video is so respectful and she never makes it about herself, even though she would know about discrimination. She knows the difference and she's speaking up in such a mature and respectful way. THIS IS WHY NIKKIE IS THE BEST.
And this, this right here, is how you bring awareness to the black lives matter movement!!! No black face, no “I can’t breathe” on someone’s face. Bringing attention to beautiful black owned products and donating proceeds!
I think everyone is doing what he or she can using different platforms and different voices. As a makeup artist if she can support black owned brands it’s her way to support the movement. We are now looking for practical resolutions to level up black people business and standard. I didn’t even know all these brands belonged to black people but through her video I know now. It’s something. If they can donate and support black owned brands to grow this will help black entrepreneurs to become economically powerful and help black communities to rise. Economic power is very important in this battle for equality. When you got money and power you’ll be respected maybe not loved but respected. I hope you understand what I’m trying to explain
Thank you. As a black woman in the US I've spent over 37 years having to be careful of what I say so I do not offend or make someone fear me just because of my skin. Thank you for showing Black owned brands and show the black owned doesn't mean just for black people. You showed black owned makeup is All inclusive! They build their brand for All colors. That was powerful. I'm sorry you will loose people for doing this. But hopefully you will gain an subscribers who embrace everyone.
I have tears in my eyes. You have no idea what you have done in the most powerful way! My husband teaches Black history and is now eager to research slavery in the Netherlands after I shared your story. I appreciate you so much for this. I love make-up and I appreciate you shedding a light on our community. Some of these brands I knew about and of course I am excited to use. However, some I didn't know about I'm so eager to support. I love Juvia's place the colors and the price point. I appreciate you. ❤️
Nikki as a black subscriber (i’ve been subbed forever) i appreciate this bc you didn’t care how you may sound necessarily all you cared about was speaking on the subject at hand & raise awareness.
Brooklyn B all I’m saying is I’ve seen a lot of pandering in the last few weeks. People and brands saying they down cuz it’s “trending” or don’t wanna be called out.
When Nikkie said she is a white trans woman... the confidence in her voice. I love her so much and to see her so empowered in who she is makes me beyond happy. It's also empowering to know that I'm not the only girl above 6 feet tall
@@honeylavenderbakery No one ever said they cant pretend they are another gender, thats not the problem, its forcing the idea of it on others especially the younger generation some that are not even old enough to talk yet
Can we talk about how skin color is just human genetics adapting to the environment. Black skin happened because the area where the people live was really sunny and hot and their bodies generated more melanin to survive in such a harsh environment. As white skinned happened when they moved up north where everything was colder so the lighter skinned helped them survive. Are we really treating people differently just because of a genetic evolution that happened CENTURIES ago.
I never thought of it that I way. I really appreciate u saying that I stand with u black lived matter and so do others as well but black people and native Americans have been put through it the most
The Breonna Taylor petition to put her killers behind bars, she was shot in her sleep. I can’t think of a specific charity to mention, but I believe this woman deserves justice. Even if the smallest amount of this money is put towards her, that would be wonderful. Too many victims’ murderers have gotten away with it, they and their families deserve the peace of knowing the culprits have been put away. I know it’s not a charity, but...
Didn't they break into her house and said since they were looking for people who had nothing to do with her they had the "right" to use force and kill her. Take an innocent life for no reason!!
And the guy they were looking for had been behind bars for weeks!!! This happened in my town. It's devastating. We're raising hell to make her families demands heard.
I’m a black na to be woman the fact ur attempting to have the conversation is sooo appreciated and powerful. We’re not looki for perfection here just an open heart,mind, and the willingness to have the convo and to support black business and opportunities for the community.
The Nature of Nurture It’s more so making a new normal, a normal that will have eliminated systematic racism. This conversation will continue until we have reached that and the normal that we currently have will just be a thing of the past.
Nikkie forgot to mention this in her explanation of Sinterklaas, but the black helpers are mostly played by non-black people who get blackface, bright red lips, and dangly gold hoop-earrings. It's actually disgusting. The defense has been claiming their skin is completely black because they're chimney sweeps, but the argument that dark skin is "dirty" is even more disturbing. Our primier finally spoke up about Black Pete so I hope some actual change is on the horizon.
As a Black person, I just wanted to say thank you for making this video Nikkie. I can't begin to express how much it means to me. Congratulations on becoming a UN Ambassador!
When I was younger I was confused on why there was black history month and pride month, and so on. But now I realize it's because those groups of people had to go through so much and still have to. And that really goes to show how uneducated people are. I didnt understand until I started watching videos and making more friends that I realized how many people suffer from insults and violence. I'm so glad that you use your platform to educate people. 💞
@@ajones2367 well I actually grew up and I’m educated in the university. If u went to the uni u would probably learn that there is no right or wrong side of history because everything depends on the point of view since we discuss facts. That’s what history is about. Facts. But never mind.
@@sonian7234 a lot of people go through things but not everyone goes through things because of things they can’t control, and furthermore things that are completely normal, like skin color and sexuality. The difference is that some people are immune to be discriminated against and harassed for certain reasons. And yes there is a widely accepted “right side of history” because of common morale.
The international black lives matter foundation is a really great organization they raise awareness and provide legal support to black families who have been affected by police brutality
it’s sad that most white owned make up brands don’t include shades dark enough for people of color but most black owned brands have a lot of variety for white people :///
And a smarter business move. Catering to ALL colors, tones, shades. Etc. Can be used by everyone. That's profits, inclusivity and SMART business strategies! GET THAT MONEY ♥️ also speaks volumes about a company that embraces all nationalities. Win Win. For all human beings... as it should be.
@Kieran Murray Sorry. I didn’t know that because there are more white people means that it’s okay to exclude black people and other poc. Wow. The more you know 🙄
A lot of people like me have autism and it’s hard to educate ourselves without someone explaining something to us. I hate how some people get aggressive at people when they ask about the movement like for example I didn’t get the difference between all lives and black lives, so I asked my social worker and she explained it well and now I understand. I wish more people would explain instead of coming at people aggressively who could be autistic. Thank you for explaining it a kind way. 💕✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿💕
I agree ppl that have mental handicaps (my nephew is autistic) need to be told in a way they understand. I think this could be a new course in schools and colleges to educate. Some ppl are misinformed as well. If you only watch media or the news they only explain one side or show you what they want. Educate ALL people on all cultures and all nations.
@Sirui Liu "Whataboutism" is a tactic that has been commonly used by white people to negate the attention from their misdeeds onto other people in order to distract from bigger issues. We are focusing on one thing right now. This conversation is not about Asians. If you want to bring attention to Asian people, do it on your own time instead of barging into the BLM movement to say "what about them?" Instead of saying "what about them?", actually put effort into educating yourself and others, donate money, and spread awareness. Be helpful instead of taking away attention from one of the biggest issues facing several countries right now; systematic racism against black people.
Yes absolutely! I learned a while back some people have a neurological condition that makes them take everything literally, cannot understand sarcasm or jokes. Explaining nicely could go a long way. I can't explain why all lives matter is wrong to someone but I do understand why it is wrong, so I'm glad she explained it in this video
I know, my hand kept twitching to go to the skip button.😂 Luckily I've been able to stop myself so far. Thank you Nikki for using your platform for good in more ways than 1!
Meriam Ghanem well, I’m just trying to say that it shouldn’t be a big deal that she was already using black-owned brands before. To say it “says volumes” minimizes the whole fight against systemic racism, in my opinion (but I was kinda mean in my comment sry)
Hi Nikkie. As a fellow Dutch person, I thank you for speaking up about Zwarte Piet. This discussion should be over by now. Pete can have some dust on the face and his clothes and be done with it. Leave out the black paint, curly wig, red lipstick and earrings. THAT IS NOT OK. It has taken me a while to come around to this too, because I did used to be one of those people screaming tradition. But a couple of years ago, when I started teaching, I realised how damaging this tradition is. I'm happy I've come to this realisation and I hope everyone in the country will finally wake up to it. It's crazy how this actually causes fights in families, my own included.
And it is going on for years now they dont understamd it anymore bc of one year they are rainbow and ads on there face and the next black again and now smugges i like the white people smugges of roet it comferms my story of its because of the chimney's and they believe thwy can be a piet aswell
Zwarte piet hoort bij de traditie sinterklaas. En er is niks fouts aan totdat volwassenen er een fout in zien. De kinderen vinden het alleen maar leuk en zien er echt geen kwaad in. Dus waarom moeten we een kinderfeest verpesten omdat volwassenen niet gewoon met elkaar om kunnen gaan?
Kim x Zwarte kinderen die zwarte piet genoemd worden als ‘grapje’ is rascistisch en niet oke. Het ‘kinderfeest’ is op deze manier niet een feestje voor iedereen.
Noa Janssen zwarte piet heeft kroes haar en rode lippen en een slaven pak aan.. zo zagen de huisslaven er vroeger ook uit en de gouden oorbellen droegen slaven vroeger ook, zwarte piet is lettelijk blackface
I always wondered why you never did that challenge. I was excited for you to do it because you always used black owned brands and was disappointed when you didn't. Now I know why..... it's never too late. Kudos to you.... Thanks.
As someone who was once sadly uneducated and ignorant, this warms my heart . I have now recognised my privilege and am using my platform to bring light to these problems!
Aaa thank you for making this video. As a minor and someone not in a position to donate, I’ve been wanting to help but there’s not much I have really found much that I’m able to do other than spreading awareness and learning best I can. Love you Nikkie!!
there is also a video you can stream made by a black women its meant for those with no money to donate. all u have to do is stream it with the ads and watch the ads and 100% of the proceeds goes to charities for blm. Ill comment the name of the video too
It's very wonderful you are staying engaged - don't lose that as you get older and vote vote vote at local levels (not just for president) when you can!
My mom told me when I was a child we were on vacation where I saw a woman of color for the first time and I asked my parents why she looks like chocolate and my parents told me that she is the same as us and that I should go talk to her (because she heard what I said). So I walked up to the woman and said "excuse me your skin looks like chocolate it's very pretty" and she smiled at me and said thank you. Unfortunately I can not remember it since I was very young but that's cute ❤️ I'm happy my parents taught me that we are all the same
When I was in kindergarten I was friends with a girl who was black, and she was the only person of color in our entire class. I'd tell my mom about something we did that day, and just curiously my mom asked which student I was talking about that I was friends with. Apparently I described the girl every which way except that she was black, I talked about the braids in her hair and everything instead lol. I don't remember it but I know I got it from my parents.
She uses her influence for so much good. I am a white and I am a believer in God and I don't understand why this has taken the world so long. It's about time! Good for you Nikkie. I personally don't wear makeup at all, but I can donate to get my black brothers and sisters the same courtesies and considerations I take for granted. Please don't hate Nikkie for being a part of the solution. Pray that change finally , FINALLY takes place!
This video honestly brought me to tears. I don't know, sometimes you get so scared to what your favourite creators might say, but this was all so perfect. Living in the Netherlands and hearing you speak up like this moves me so much. It just gives me that extra bit of hope for myself and my family. I'm definitely gonna go through the comment section to see where I can further so my report. Love you so much Nikki, thank you
Can we talk about how white wines brands never include dark enough shades, but black owned brands nearly ALWAYS cover the full spectrum? I used to have a hard time finding foundations light enough and black owned brands always had me.
I know white! All of those people are such racists. They can't avoid it. I think it's all part of a colonial oppression narrative they've been trading in for so long that they just can't see it. They make makeup and don't try to please anyone but themselves! They are complete Nazis.
Thank you Nikki as a black woman I appreciate. And know you won’t be losing subscribers never cos you are a true artist, your work itself speaks. No one can deny it. Much love ❤️
Yermaw Ascin I believe in good in people and people can change. Even white people. 6 months ago people did not realize that a black man named George Floyd will be killed and his death will change the world they thought it’s just a other black man and nothing will happen to the cop, but surprisingly the cop Chauvin is arrested, I believe that now the next white cop who is gonna intend to kill a black man will think twice cos the awakening is now on an other level. If she did it for the views at least she spoke it’s a step in a long battle for change. And I don’t think it’s for views, she got less views in this video than other videos. She is even expecting to lose subscribers do you think she do that knowing she may lose subs? I think people speaking even out about BLM and giving a little damn is the beginning of something a new era. Know that no matter what things will never be the same.
Can we just appreciate the fact that you can speak about something so true and tense and real then.... “I’m taking this blue with this darker blue” lol! Thanks Nikki ❤️😘❤️
I would love to see you donate a portion to Nederland Wordt Beter, they fight systematic racism in the Netherlands and racism in Europe needs a LOT more awareness as it is ingrained into our culture so much differently (not better or worse perse but just different) then in the U.S. 💕
I can’t believe how sweet and wonderful she is, literally just out here exuding joy and love on camera!! And using her voice for good and spreading knowledge and an extremely important message?? we stan
Thank-you SO much for using your platform in such an impactful way! I’m a black girl that graduated as the valedictorian of my school this year and it was such a monumental moment for my family and I. Unfortunately, with the pandemic going on I didn’t get a chance to deliver my speech how I imagined and had to do so virtually. I posted the video of my speech on my page and I would love if you all could take a listen 💓
The fact you already use Black Owned brands proves this isn’t a publicity stunt & I so appreciate that as a new viewer. I’ve unfortunately seen a few ‘bandwagon’ type of video on a few platforms.
Honestly I don’t see how people could not use black owned brands products just because they are black owned like I feel like a lot of black owned makeup brands or at least the ones I’ve seen and used or would like to purchase from seem to be so much more inclusive in products and shades
Oh boy! I paused the video and looking for that one comment, cause I was about to drag. I think before I act, so glad it’s not for clout like most are doing right now.
I get what you are saying although I don’t think people who are currently uneducated about the topic should be shamed for educating themselves by classing it as jumping on the bandwagon. The future will tell if they are educating the,selves or just jumping on the bandwagon but atm can we just encourage people to educate themselves and spread this education for noe
Eleanor Jane I get you. I’m just thinking about Pride Month. Every June people & Brands throw rainbows on themselves & packaging yet do nothing else all year. I’m HAPPY Influencers are showing they have been using black owned brands all along. I’ve just seen some posts from people using the BLM hashtag that haven’t been so inclusive in the past. If they’re finally noticing the problem and educating themselves I’ll support & help. If they’re using it for Likes I’ll scream it from the rooftops.
This occurring in canada Racism discrimination and violence against indigenous people have been going on for centuries We stand with black lives matter
As a fellow Canadian, I also stand with you; it's time to end racism here by educating ourselves more fully and standing up for truth and justice and holding our RCMP accountable for their actions as well as anyone around us who is discriminatory and unwilling to change. Black lives matter and Indigenous lives matter
I agree with you, I live in Canada also and some people who live outside Canada have no idea that Canada has its flaws, like the discrimination between the indigenous and others, police brutality, and so much more.
@@nefarious69poopi they also had a law stating all indigenous children be sent to government funded boarding schools for assimilation of white culture. Residential schools. They found over 6000 bodies of indigenous children over the past few months and it’s so absolutely horrifying.
Please be aware that RUclips might recognize this as spam and take the video down (it happened already to a lot of other youtubers) so make sure to watch it only maybe once or twice a day with a few hours and other videos inbetween
Yes a tradition that started in the 19th century, a character based on slaves of that time. Even the outfit is inspired by the aristocrats' slaves. How lovely lmao
AnxiousRiddle I googled Martha and all the websites, including the Martha P. Johnson Institute said that she was a drag queen. All websites used she. Most drag queens use the pronouns she/her though.
I just realized a comeback of the alm people would probably be that "there isn't just one on fire, what about ... afterall?" I think I actually read it once somewhere
One of my favorite creators is Nyma Tang. When I subbed to her channel she lived in Dallas and I lived and still live in humid Texas, too. The humidity affects everything. Immediately, I understood: she is an artist masterfully creating glowing beauty with colorful shadow, lips, nails and more. But I also understood her to be an activist confronting make up companies in a very dignified and self-respecting way to include many times deeper colors to match all skin tones. Once you have viewed one of her videos it just makes sense!
Should do indigenous/Native American because we native Americans have been through so much from getting out land taken to going to residential school and the beautiful indigenous woman have been taken off the side of the road to be raped, sexually assaulted and killed and some of the woman have never been found.
i agree but it seems like ur putting down one issue to being another up. rn we’re focusing on black lives and equality for ALL minorities. obviously we need to help other minorities but it just seems like ur overriding the issue if that makes sense
So glad to hear that! Youre doing a great job listening to people in stead of turning a blind eye like so many others in The Netherlands. Big virtual hug to you! ♥️
I know this is about black owned makeup companies but I would like to shine a light to my people; indigenous/native/ First Nation makeup companies as well. There is a lot and I feel like you can make this a series where you make videos on different minorities makeup brands such as trans/ drag, etc to show support! I believe it would be a great hit and you should do my people next! I hope and pray you see this comment somehow cause I feel you can do it purely out of the goodness of your heart. Thank you for your time
I love that you're making it easier for us to 'donate', I've been feeling so down on myself for not donating because I'm 20 with my own place struggling as is, & im glad there's at least some way we can help donate, with your ads . & educating ourselves. Poc deserve so much more than they're getting, & have been getting since forever. I'm glad something is finally being said &their stories are finally being heard 💚💚
Nikkie, you’re such a great soul. When I was about 13 years old i started watching you and learned english through that. I’m still profiting off of it bc it was so good and so fun. Thank you for your content.
Nikki!!!!! I have been following you for years now. And as a woman, I love your platform and what you stand for. As a black woman, I am grateful knowing that you are WOKE with what is going on and you are not afraid to speak your TRUTH! You are an inspiration. And for that I will always support. 💛💛💛💛💛
Thank you for using your voice on such an important GLOBAL issue WITHOUT the use of black face or empty gestures. What you said about being afraid to say the wrong thing rings true for a lot of people but fear keeps us silent and silence doesnt bring about change. Also Calliope is pronounced Kah-lie-oh-pee lol
I absolutely love Nyma tang she is so sweet and inspirational and I love how she speaks so openly about how she struggles with not having the same amount of makeup options that white people do xx she is amazing
If you are taking suggestions for donations to charity I was thinking if theres a domesticated abuse for women of the black community. As it has got worse during lockdown
I've been supporting Black Visions Collective, though there's a lot of really great charities that people have been mentioning in the comments so far! But also, just as a heads up if any of y'all wanna watch this video on repeat to help donate, make sure to switch out to other videos (especially other videos that have it set up to donate to various charities) or else your views won't count. Alongside that, it can put the videos themselves at risk for being flagged as spam because of the repeat views! So just make sure to switch to other videos in-between each watch!
Nikkie, as a fellow dutchie, thank you so much for using your platform to speak about Zwarte Piet! I understand the consequences and backlash and possible threats that may get you... I am generally very proud of my country but on this... 😭😭
I never comment. I used one of your videos for my 12th grade prom makeup inspiration...I was the first male in my predominant hispanic school. You did good Nikkie....you are always an inspiration. Use that shame and harness it amplify those voices that being systematically muffled across the world. Love you
Church! Social Media is massive and anyone with a phone could go viral at any moment because of the internet and the technology made so incredibly affordable by white systemic racism. People can buy luxury goods that were once only available to a Pharoah, and fly *over* the pyramids while making an instructional video about the make-up thanks only to those evil racists ruining the world with their colonial science and oppressive gender myths!
as Meghan Markle said: 'The only wrong thing to say is to say nothing‘ and I think this perfectly sums up the situation of some people feeling uncomfortable about speaking up
Idk if you got some yet but it really is high quality. The eyeshadows are SO pigmented. I also have a cream liner and it’s crazy pigmented too. It’s really good makeup.
I just started watching Jackie Aina recently but I love her so much. She’s very funny and entertaining while giving excellent makeup looks and using her platform to regularly educate people like me who are very uneducated.
National Bail Fund and NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Oh and not sure if anyone else mentioned it but EJI (Equal Justice Initiative) has been doing great work for decades Edit: love you and so happy to watch this video multiple times 😁
Just letting everyone know that this isn't just an issue in the US. Police brutality against the Indigenous people and deaths in custody of the Indigenous people of Australia has been a problem for many years and people are being fined $1000 for protesting
Minks Rule - Thank you for educating us. The US already slaughtered their indigenous people years ago. The remaining ones were pushed onto infertile land breaking treaties made with them and still suffer to this day. Indigenous Lives Matter too!
Police brutality also happens to whites ; In South Africa Whites are having their land taken away by the black majority because they are white. Julius Malema leader of the 3rd largest political party said - '' we are not calling for the killing of white people........ at least for now'' on National TV.
The same thing is happening in Brazil. We have 5x the amount of deaths by police per year that the USA has but there are no protests going on, nothing. Brazilians conformed to this systematic murder.
when I was really young, like maybe 7, I remember arguing with a little black girl (I'm white). another girl came up to us and sang "black and white, always fight". I remember the girl I was arguing with and I looked at each other so confused; our argument had nothing to do with race and we were like "huh? we would be arguing if we were different colors!". looking back I think it's sad that that girl said that, and also I miss the innocence I had because I didn't quite understand what she meant by it until I got older.

And she's not from the US, btw...
she's from Holland so

Very true
Yea I know right? I've been talking to people and they keep acting like the US is the ONLY place where racism whether passive or active still occurs
The thing I love about this is it wasn't "because I'm a minority too" or "I know what discrimination is like". This video is so respectful and she never makes it about herself, even though she would know about discrimination. She knows the difference and she's speaking up in such a mature and respectful way.

That part at the end is epic . This is why I never gave up on nikki,.

And this, this right here, is how you bring awareness to the black lives matter movement!!! No black face, no “I can’t breathe” on someone’s face. Bringing attention to beautiful black owned products and donating proceeds!
I think everyone is doing what he or she can using different platforms and different voices. As a makeup artist if she can support black owned brands it’s her way to support the movement. We are now looking for practical resolutions to level up black people business and standard. I didn’t even know all these brands belonged to black people but through her video I know now. It’s something. If they can donate and support black owned brands to grow this will help black entrepreneurs to become economically powerful and help black communities to rise. Economic power is very important in this battle for equality. When you got money and power you’ll be respected maybe not loved but respected. I hope you understand what I’m trying to explain
wait who did black face?
@@libbygreen4922 a lot of people, its like a trend where they're doing black face and saying its in "solidarity with the Black lives movement"

The same group that went in and destroyed black owned businesses right?
Thank you. As a black woman in the US I've spent over 37 years having to be careful of what I say so I do not offend or make someone fear me just because of my skin. Thank you for showing Black owned brands and show the black owned doesn't mean just for black people. You showed black owned makeup is All inclusive! They build their brand for All colors. That was powerful. I'm sorry you will loose people for doing this. But hopefully you will gain an subscribers who embrace everyone.
Well if she loses subscribers they were the wrong kind of subscribers and she shouldn’t want to be anything to do with them

Beautifully said
Love 🥰
Black owned should be just for black people...but there’s not a lot of us so they got to make money
I love how she isn’t hating on the people who don’t have enough money to donate to the BLM movements

The fact that Nikkie already owned more than just Fenty speaks volumes then you can tell that she actively uses the items! I stan Nikkie
Or she went out and bought what she didn’t have... for this video.. let’s see how many times she will use this stuff in videos after this.
Eufi Mercedes ye but she already used some of the products alot
Brooklyn B all I’m saying is I’ve seen a lot of pandering in the last few weeks. People and brands saying they down cuz it’s “trending” or don’t wanna be called out.
When Nikkie said she is a white trans woman... the confidence in her voice. I love her so much and to see her so empowered in who she is makes me beyond happy. It's also empowering to know that I'm not the only girl above 6 feet tall
Mrs Haney Sorry I don’t speak transphobic
@@theophobia4895 I think you mean you don't speak science and reason
"oh dear, i guess i can't transition because someone said i can't in a youtube comment :((" said no one, ever
@@honeylavenderbakery No one ever said they cant pretend they are another gender, thats not the problem, its forcing the idea of it on others especially the younger generation some that are not even old enough to talk yet
@Mr Haney read my reply to the other transphobe. science supports being trans. take a psych class
Can we talk about how skin color is just human genetics adapting to the environment. Black skin happened because the area where the people live was really sunny and hot and their bodies generated more melanin to survive in such a harsh environment. As white skinned happened when they moved up north where everything was colder so the lighter skinned helped them survive. Are we really treating people differently just because of a genetic evolution that happened CENTURIES ago.
Your comment is soooo underrated ❤️❤️
It is crazy to think that people legitimately HATE other human beings because of melanin.
Period
I never thought of it that I way. I really appreciate u saying that I stand with u black lived matter and so do others as well but black people and native Americans have been put through it the most
how comes the whites living in africa didnt change and vice versa?
The Breonna Taylor petition to put her killers behind bars, she was shot in her sleep. I can’t think of a specific charity to mention, but I believe this woman deserves justice. Even if the smallest amount of this money is put towards her, that would be wonderful. Too many victims’ murderers have gotten away with it, they and their families deserve the peace of knowing the culprits have been put away. I know it’s not a charity, but...
And they had the audacity to name a law after her but didn’t even arrest her murderers
Didn't they break into her house and said since they were looking for people who had nothing to do with her they had the "right" to use force and kill her. Take an innocent life for no reason!!
And the guy they were looking for had been behind bars for weeks!!! This happened in my town. It's devastating. We're raising hell to make her families demands heard.
Murderers belong behind bars, not badges!
I love how she spits facts and then is like “okay imma use this shade to make my skin look warm”
Sophie Van der meer yes! She was like ....WE NEED CHANGE! And for higher I am using hahahah
lmao literally i love it
I WAS JUST THINKING THIS
I’m a black na to be woman the fact ur attempting to have the conversation is sooo appreciated and powerful. We’re not looki for perfection here just an open heart,mind, and the willingness to have the convo and to support black business and opportunities for the community.
How are we going to keep the focus on black people after this conversation ends? People always go back to acting normal after a little while.
The Nature of Nurture It’s more so making a new normal, a normal that will have eliminated systematic racism. This conversation will continue until we have reached that and the normal that we currently have will just be a thing of the past.
Why does she look so weird like not human?
@@FogandRain227 who?
l l The women obviously.
Nikkie forgot to mention this in her explanation of Sinterklaas, but the black helpers are mostly played by non-black people who get blackface, bright red lips, and dangly gold hoop-earrings. It's actually disgusting.
The defense has been claiming their skin is completely black because they're chimney sweeps, but the argument that dark skin is "dirty" is even more disturbing.
Our primier finally spoke up about Black Pete so I hope some actual change is on the horizon.
dang..... thank you for expanting upon it. i'm glad people are taking notice.
😲
Thank you for bringing more awareness !!!
That is utterly repulsing, and so wrong 😠
this is literally the first time i watched the entire ads
Omg same
This is my 2nd time. I watched full ads on Rose's video(ik that nobody asked, lol)
Me too
Same💖, and now I'm waiting for a 5 minute one to finish 👌
Same it took everything in me not to press skip because I always just do it out of habit lol. Gotta support my black brothers and sisters though! 😁
You know Nikkie is serious when she does her eye brows on camera.
We stan a queen 👑

Very serious lol
YASSSSSS

As a Black person, I just wanted to say thank you for making this video Nikkie. I can't begin to express how much it means to me. Congratulations on becoming a UN Ambassador!
When I was younger I was confused on why there was black history month and pride month, and so on. But now I realize it's because those groups of people had to go through so much and still have to. And that really goes to show how uneducated people are. I didnt understand until I started watching videos and making more friends that I realized how many people suffer from insults and violence. I'm so glad that you use your platform to educate people. 💞
A lot of people have to go through things. It’s not unique to specific race or colour or whatever u wanna call it.
@@sonian7234 uhhhhhhhhh
@@sonian7234 When you grow up and actually get educated you’ll wish you were on the right side of history
@@ajones2367 well I actually grew up and I’m educated in the university. If u went to the uni u would probably learn that there is no right or wrong side of history because everything depends on the point of view since we discuss facts. That’s what history is about. Facts. But never mind.
@@sonian7234 a lot of people go through things but not everyone goes through things because of things they can’t control, and furthermore things that are completely normal, like skin color and sexuality. The difference is that some people are immune to be discriminated against and harassed for certain reasons. And yes there is a widely accepted “right side of history” because of common morale.
The international black lives matter foundation is a really great organization they raise awareness and provide legal support to black families who have been affected by police brutality
YES
Yes but I believe they are full on donations there's many smaller ones that need money. Personally I think the Innocents project is SUPER important
Nikkie: just making everyones quarantine better
it’s sad that most white owned make up brands don’t include shades dark enough for people of color but most black owned brands have a lot of variety for white people :///
Preach Girl!
And a smarter business move. Catering to ALL colors, tones, shades. Etc. Can be used by everyone. That's profits, inclusivity and SMART business strategies! GET THAT MONEY ♥️ also speaks volumes about a company that embraces all nationalities. Win Win. For all human beings... as it should be.
victoria cardenas probably because there are way more white people...
Because they know the struggle. Most white owned brows don't care enough
@Kieran Murray Sorry. I didn’t know that because there are more white people means that it’s okay to exclude black people and other poc. Wow. The more you know 🙄
A lot of people like me have autism and it’s hard to educate ourselves without someone explaining something to us. I hate how some people get aggressive at people when they ask about the movement like for example I didn’t get the difference between all lives and black lives, so I asked my social worker and she explained it well and now I understand. I wish more people would explain instead of coming at people aggressively who could be autistic. Thank you for explaining it a kind way. 💕✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿💕
I agree ppl that have mental handicaps (my nephew is autistic) need to be told in a way they understand. I think this could be a new course in schools and colleges to educate. Some ppl are misinformed as well. If you only watch media or the news they only explain one side or show you what they want. Educate ALL people on all cultures and all nations.
@Sirui Liu "Whataboutism" is a tactic that has been commonly used by white people to negate the attention from their misdeeds onto other people in order to distract from bigger issues. We are focusing on one thing right now. This conversation is not about Asians. If you want to bring attention to Asian people, do it on your own time instead of barging into the BLM movement to say "what about them?" Instead of saying "what about them?", actually put effort into educating yourself and others, donate money, and spread awareness. Be helpful instead of taking away attention from one of the biggest issues facing several countries right now; systematic racism against black people.
Yes absolutely! I learned a while back some people have a neurological condition that makes them take everything literally, cannot understand sarcasm or jokes. Explaining nicely could go a long way. I can't explain why all lives matter is wrong to someone but I do understand why it is wrong, so I'm glad she explained it in this video
@@nomoretwitterhandles Theyre lowkey asian bruh what u on abt

I know, my hand kept twitching to go to the skip button.😂 Luckily I've been able to stop myself so far. Thank you Nikki for using your platform for good in more ways than 1!
I’ve donated, but I watched all the ads because at the end of the day every cent counts!

Your channel is how I found out about Juvia’s Place. Just the fact you used these brands before it was popular says volumes about you.
I found Nikki from Juvias place.
Ummm it shouldn’t really “say volumes”. It’s kinda sad you think that.
@@aks799 what do you mean
Meriam Ghanem well, I’m just trying to say that it shouldn’t be a big deal that she was already using black-owned brands before. To say it “says volumes” minimizes the whole fight against systemic racism, in my opinion (but I was kinda mean in my comment sry)
Me too! Nikki made Juvias place go viral!!
Hi Nikkie. As a fellow Dutch person, I thank you for speaking up about Zwarte Piet. This discussion should be over by now.
Pete can have some dust on the face and his clothes and be done with it.
Leave out the black paint, curly wig, red lipstick and earrings. THAT IS NOT OK.
It has taken me a while to come around to this too, because I did used to be one of those people screaming tradition. But a couple of years ago, when I started teaching, I realised how damaging this tradition is. I'm happy I've come to this realisation and I hope everyone in the country will finally wake up to it.
It's crazy how this actually causes fights in families, my own included.
And it is going on for years now they dont understamd it anymore bc of one year they are rainbow and ads on there face and the next black again and now smugges i like the white people smugges of roet it comferms my story of its because of the chimney's and they believe thwy can be a piet aswell
Zwarte piet hoort bij de traditie sinterklaas. En er is niks fouts aan totdat volwassenen er een fout in zien. De kinderen vinden het alleen maar leuk en zien er echt geen kwaad in. Dus waarom moeten we een kinderfeest verpesten omdat volwassenen niet gewoon met elkaar om kunnen gaan?
Hey, dit is gewoon een serieuze vraag, waarom zouden de lipstick een pruik en oorbellen niet oké zijn?
Kim x Zwarte kinderen die zwarte piet genoemd worden als ‘grapje’ is rascistisch en niet oke. Het ‘kinderfeest’ is op deze manier niet een feestje voor iedereen.
Noa Janssen zwarte piet heeft kroes haar en rode lippen en een slaven pak aan.. zo zagen de huisslaven er vroeger ook uit en de gouden oorbellen droegen slaven vroeger ook, zwarte piet is lettelijk blackface
the most effective thing i think is to educate the next generations, the children because they imitate behaviour, our behaviour!
She did her EYEBROWS on camera!!!
Sorceress!
Khadija Mohsin she has an opinion not everything is about black people sheesh
Why am I on the verge of tears over here?! THIS is support. THIS is love.
I always wondered why you never did that challenge. I was excited for you to do it because you always used black owned brands and was disappointed when you didn't. Now I know why..... it's never too late. Kudos to you.... Thanks.
Ohh🤗♥ this is so sweet
she didnt do it then because it wasnt trending enough, im not one bit convinced
Rosalina Posh if she didn’t care, she wouldn’t be doing it now. move on 🙄
cartia king or, it’s popular right now & it’s gonna get clicks? No? Just because “she really cares”?
Laughable.
As someone who was once sadly uneducated and ignorant, this warms my heart . I have now recognised my privilege and am using my platform to bring light to these problems!
💜💜
Aaa thank you for making this video. As a minor and someone not in a position to donate, I’ve been wanting to help but there’s not much I have really found much that I’m able to do other than spreading awareness and learning best I can. Love you Nikkie!!
there is also a video you can stream made by a black women its meant for those with no money to donate. all u have to do is stream it with the ads and watch the ads and 100% of the proceeds goes to charities for blm. Ill comment the name of the video too
Search selena travino and u should find the video :)
Zoe Amira uploaded one, too
Yes! I have watched those as well!
It's very wonderful you are staying engaged - don't lose that as you get older and vote vote vote at local levels (not just for president) when you can!
My mom told me when I was a child we were on vacation where I saw a woman of color for the first time and I asked my parents why she looks like chocolate and my parents told me that she is the same as us and that I should go talk to her (because she heard what I said). So I walked up to the woman and said "excuse me your skin looks like chocolate it's very pretty" and she smiled at me and said thank you. Unfortunately I can not remember it since I was very young but that's cute ❤️ I'm happy my parents taught me that we are all the same
That’s so wholesome, you have lovely parents.
lisa.aka.lisl omg that is the cutest thing jajajaa.
So beautiful 🤍🤍🤍
When I was in kindergarten I was friends with a girl who was black, and she was the only person of color in our entire class. I'd tell my mom about something we did that day, and just curiously my mom asked which student I was talking about that I was friends with. Apparently I described the girl every which way except that she was black, I talked about the braids in her hair and everything instead lol. I don't remember it but I know I got it from my parents.
That's so sweet and wholesome! Your parents are awesome!

Can we talk about how white wines brands never include dark enough shades, but black owned brands nearly ALWAYS cover the full spectrum? I used to have a hard time finding foundations light enough and black owned brands always had me.
I know white! All of those people are such racists. They can't avoid it. I think it's all part of a colonial oppression narrative they've been trading in for so long that they just can't see it. They make makeup and don't try to please anyone but themselves! They are complete Nazis.
Black owned makeup brands are the only ones I can really get for my Asian complexion 😩👌 talk about poc supporting poc
I get it my dude! I am basically an albino and Juvia's Place is one of the few brands that can accommodate my white ass skin.
Exactly!! There is no excuse!
I came here to say this, but knew in my heart that it had already been said.
Thank you Nikki as a black woman I appreciate. And know you won’t be losing subscribers never cos you are a true artist, your work itself speaks. No one can deny it. Much love ❤️
👏👏
@Yermaw Ascin what a decent answer
Yermaw Ascin I believe in good in people and people can change. Even white people. 6 months ago people did not realize that a black man named George Floyd will be killed and his death will change the world they thought it’s just a other black man and nothing will happen to the cop, but surprisingly the cop Chauvin is arrested,
I believe that now the next white cop who is gonna intend to kill a black man will think twice cos the awakening is now on an other level. If she did it for the views at least she spoke it’s a step in a long battle for change. And I don’t think it’s for views, she got less views in this video than other videos. She is even expecting to lose subscribers do you think she do that knowing she may lose subs? I think people speaking even out about BLM and giving a little damn is the beginning of something a new era. Know that no matter what things will never be the same.
Can we just appreciate the fact that you can speak about something so true and tense and real then.... “I’m taking this blue with this darker blue” lol! Thanks Nikki ❤️😘❤️
I giggled like hard. 😂😂
I died at that man😂😂😂
I would love to see you donate a portion to Nederland Wordt Beter, they fight systematic racism in the Netherlands and racism in Europe needs a LOT more awareness as it is ingrained into our culture so much differently (not better or worse perse but just different) then in the U.S. 💕

The fact you already use Black Owned brands proves this isn’t a publicity stunt & I so appreciate that as a new viewer. I’ve unfortunately seen a few ‘bandwagon’ type of video on a few platforms.
Honestly I don’t see how people could not use black owned brands products just because they are black owned like I feel like a lot of black owned makeup brands or at least the ones I’ve seen and used or would like to purchase from seem to be so much more inclusive in products and shades
Idk about you but I usually don't check if my brands are black or white owned..
Oh boy! I paused the video and looking for that one comment, cause I was about to drag. I think before I act, so glad it’s not for clout like most are doing right now.
I get what you are saying although I don’t think people who are currently uneducated about the topic should be shamed for educating themselves by classing it as jumping on the bandwagon. The future will tell if they are educating the,selves or just jumping on the bandwagon but atm can we just encourage people to educate themselves and spread this education for noe
Eleanor Jane I get you. I’m just thinking about Pride Month. Every June people & Brands throw rainbows on themselves & packaging yet do nothing else all year. I’m HAPPY Influencers are showing they have been using black owned brands all along. I’ve just seen some posts from people using the BLM hashtag that haven’t been so inclusive in the past. If they’re finally noticing the problem and educating themselves I’ll support & help. If they’re using it for Likes I’ll scream it from the rooftops.

Racism discrimination and violence against indigenous people have been going on for centuries
We stand with black lives matter

As a fellow Canadian, I also stand with you; it's time to end racism here by educating ourselves more fully and standing up for truth and justice and holding our RCMP accountable for their actions as well as anyone around us who is discriminatory and unwilling to change. Black lives matter and Indigenous lives matter
I agree with you, I live in Canada also and some people who live outside Canada have no idea that Canada has its flaws, like the discrimination between the indigenous and others, police brutality, and so much more.
And apparently Canada has laws protecting the indigenous? Bruh-

One of my favorite creators is Nyma Tang. When I subbed to her channel she lived in Dallas and I lived and still live in humid Texas, too. The humidity affects everything. Immediately, I understood: she is an artist masterfully creating glowing beauty with colorful shadow, lips, nails and more. But I also understood her to be an activist confronting make up companies in a very dignified and self-respecting way to include many times deeper colors to match all skin tones. Once you have viewed one of her videos it just makes sense!

I know this is about black owned makeup companies but I would like to shine a light to my people; indigenous/native/ First Nation makeup companies as well. There is a lot and I feel like you can make this a series where you make videos on different minorities makeup brands such as trans/ drag, etc to show support! I believe it would be a great hit and you should do my people next! I hope and pray you see this comment somehow cause I feel you can do it purely out of the goodness of your heart.

I've been supporting Black Visions Collective, though there's a lot of really great charities that people have been mentioning in the comments so far!
But also, just as a heads up if any of y'all wanna watch this video on repeat to help donate, make sure to switch out to other videos (especially other videos that have it set up to donate to various charities) or else your views won't count. Alongside that, it can put the videos themselves at risk for being flagged as spam because of the repeat views! So just make sure to switch to other videos in-between each watch!
Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure I do that.
You can also watch a video by Zoe Amira that will donate to various charities
There should be a playlist! Who has the skills and the deets? Maybe make an mua-specific playlist?
WOW. That's so helpful of you 👏
Reclaim the block, Homeless Black Trans Women Fund, The Northstar Health Collective. you can split the money between these orgs!!
Nikkie, as a fellow dutchie, thank you so much for using your platform to speak about Zwarte Piet! I understand the consequences and backlash and possible threats that may get you...
I am generally very proud of my country but on this... 😭😭
Ouma is also grandma in Afrikaans ❤️
Us too
Jy is afrikaans ??. Ek is nie afrikaans nie maar ek is suid Afrikan
Afrikaans is in the same language family as Dutch!
and "Oma" is also grandma in german 💕
@@fabiii7409 I was going to say that too
Being a black woman in America... discomfort is unfortunately normal. Welcome 🙏🏾. I believe the brand is pronounced ooooma. I may be wrong.
Just wanted to say you are gorgeous. 💕
Thank you for including us as a black-owned beauty brand, and for the positive message of this video! 💜
Fenna Ingversen in the description box.. she has a list of black owned brands. X
I didn’t know you guys were a black-owned brand! I’m gonna have to buy something now, especially as we share a name
Eloise Murray Aww, it’s a beautiful name isn’t it! 😉 Thank you so much Eloise, we hope you enjoy your products 💜
Just leaving a comment while the ads are playing. How are y’all?! ✊🏿❤️
i think this is the first time in so long that i've seen all the ads complete, this was such a good idea from Nikkie
I'm fine Kiley, thanks for asking ❤️
I hope you're doing well!
i’m cuddling my doggy, hbu??
I never comment. I used one of your videos for my 12th grade prom makeup inspiration...I was the first male in my predominant hispanic school. You did good Nikkie....you are always an inspiration. Use that shame and harness it amplify those voices that being systematically muffled across the world. Love you
Do you remember which one? I’m sure you looked great!!
Church! Social Media is massive and anyone with a phone could go viral at any moment because of the internet and the technology made so incredibly affordable by white systemic racism. People can buy luxury goods that were once only available to a Pharoah, and fly *over* the pyramids while making an instructional video about the make-up thanks only to those evil racists ruining the world with their colonial science and oppressive gender myths!
wow we stan a queen who doesn't care about the backlash if it means she does the right thing
as Meghan Markle said: 'The only wrong thing to say is to say nothing‘ and I think this perfectly sums up the situation of some people feeling uncomfortable about speaking up
Nikkie: “ we Stan our queen Ri Ri “
Us: “ yes....but we STANNNN u MOREEEE “
Samuel amen 👏🏻🙌🏻🎉
nikkie: puts on foundation - all I can hear: *slap slap slap slap*
Fav black owned makeup line: Juvias place (I don’t own any products yet but i love the reviews) and my fav black content creator is Jackie Aina
Idk if you got some yet but it really is high quality. The eyeshadows are SO pigmented. I also have a cream liner and it’s crazy pigmented too. It’s really good makeup.
I just started watching Jackie Aina recently but I love her so much. She’s very funny and entertaining while giving excellent makeup looks and using her platform to regularly educate people like me who are very uneducated.
@@JC-yy8iv didn't get some yet. Hopefully, I do soon
@@JG-jc6fx She is such a Gem! And also really talented
National Bail Fund and NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Oh and not sure if anyone else mentioned it but EJI (Equal Justice Initiative) has been doing great work for decades
Edit: love you and so happy to watch this video multiple times 😁
Since she is Dutch I really, REALLY hoped she would also choose a Dutch foundation to donate to for example The Black Archives
OMG I love Nyma Tang she is so beautiful and she just has a way about speaking for things that make her so empowering
Love her!!!
Just letting everyone know that this isn't just an issue in the US. Police brutality against the Indigenous people and deaths in custody of the Indigenous people of Australia has been a problem for many years and people are being fined $1000 for protesting
Minks Rule - Thank you for educating us.
The US already slaughtered their indigenous people years ago. The remaining ones were pushed onto infertile land breaking treaties made with them and still suffer to this day.
Indigenous Lives Matter too!
Police brutality also happens to whites ; In South Africa Whites are having their land taken away by the black majority because they are white. Julius Malema leader of the 3rd largest political party said - '' we are not calling for the killing of white people........ at least for now'' on National TV.
the same thing is happening in canada it’s so sad
The same thing is happening in Brazil. We have 5x the amount of deaths by police per year that the USA has but there are no protests going on, nothing. Brazilians conformed to this systematic murder.
A Rational Gentleman black people owned South Africa then the white took it now we are trying to get it back
when I was really young, like maybe 7, I remember arguing with a little black girl (I'm white). another girl came up to us and sang "black and white, always fight". I remember the girl I was arguing with and I looked at each other so confused; our argument had nothing to do with race and we were like "huh? we would be arguing if we were different colors!". looking back I think it's sad that that girl said that, and also I miss the innocence I had because I didn't quite understand what she meant by it until I got older.
