The whole family and I had an amazing experience with you Markian! The world needs more of this openness to learn about each other, no matter how different. I believe what we’ll find is that we’re all pretty much the same. We all want to enjoy life with family, friends, and good food, to prosper and be respected. This is what we see in your videos with all the families you’ve lived with. You and Afomia are invited to the cookout anytime! Much love! Nikki
You are spot on with your message and thank you for letting us crash your family for a day 😄 I can't wait for the next cookout and more delicious food
Enjoyed! ❤
This was so awesome to watch because I as a white person I see the differences between me and black people because I see I can go in to the store and I could steal but they would blame the closest black person for my crimes I see the distrust in white people and it is honestly so sad, it's sad also that I am going to school for cosmetology and black hair skin and all of that are not part of what we learn and I feel that if I can't learn that then I'm not worth anything as a hair dresser and I hope that one day I can
bless the most high
You guys have a beautiful family
Delicious food && beautiful Energy
Much love Momma Seeds!
- a white boy. (I guess I'm 30 so I'm not a boy anymore... But still)
The fact this man went in nervous and expecting major cultural differences really speaks to how far we still have to come as a nation.
Fact.
While you're right in a way, I think he was nervous because he was terrified of saying something offensive. Terms change very regularly.
I find it wholesome he’s trying and succeeding in finding understanding
He shouldnt be nervous like that around black people...
@@Jay-jb2vr you'd be nervous around anything you don't have a lot of experience with. His gf is mixed. But from across the ocean. The black culture in the US is unique to black culture anywhere else. He had a very unreliable experience with a family in Louisiana that made him nervous. Maybe he thought maybe it was BECAUSE he's white? Idk. But I used to live in Bmore and SE DC, but I still get nervous in those areas. As anyone should be. On high alert.
I love the fact that at the beginning of the video, the family talked about the pressure of representing all Black people because we are not a monolith. The experience with the black family and Baltimore can and probably is very different than with a family in Texas, Louisiana or even California.
Absolutely! You could even include black people in the Caribbean too their experience may differ.
Not very different but maybe different in terms of Classism, religion, and origin of home state, or parts of the Carribean, South and Central America may play a roll in that. But our roots are African in Spirit and DNA. Unchain the Brain .
I agree. I will say as a Black man from Charleston, SC, I found some differences but also so many similarities with this Black family in Baltimore. I think that can said for many families across our entire country.
Being afro carribean british the watermelon story came as a surprise to me. It's just not our experience of the black British story.
@@olorioyinkambon1507 lol stfu bro, black latinos are very different, you pan african just want blacks TO BE A MONOLITH, they arent
I really appreciated that the family's father stated that "we're not a monolith". It's so important that people accept and understand that.
I always hear black ppl say that but their actions say otherwise.
@@K0NY718 travel within and especially outside the US and you’ll feel differently!
@@K0NY718 what actions? The actions of individuals?
@@MoMotaroDaisuke 97% of black voters vote democrat. They are a monolith and like i said their actions show it.
@@K0NY718 good way to tell everybody you don't spend time with black people in real life lol.
This is great! I am the co-founder of University of Dope, the game you were playing. You all did a great job!
It was a very fun game thank you for spicing up our breakfast! 😄
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE GAME
✨️✨️✨️💎
💯
Well it's mad popular especially around this time with the holidays and family, so THANK SO MUCH🫶🏾
I got the game because of this video. I never heard of it.
As a black American, I eat whatever I want, who cares about stereotypes. Just be you ❤ it will be okay
Same here! I LOVE watermelon and bring it to work with my lunch. I live in the South and do not care what anybody thinks! I can’t tell if the white people even know about the history.....I really don’t care.
Racist white people care and want us to as well but at lease we know how to season
Same ... but in my younger years I was definitely aware of the foolishness. Food was one of the weapons of choice other black Americans used to ridicule not to mention the racist comments thrown out there by others. Thick skin and maturity allow me to give folks the death stare now when they try it. 😂
I said the same thing lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't nobody run me wtf
Heart disease is most prevalent in the AA community
Most black families are welcoming and open, especially after they get to know you and you're not prejudice.
Those are the 1 percent that actually get to graduate and study and live in a white neighboorhood of course they have to be welcoming
@Ese El Chatel nah, I am referring to black people in general. Even those in mostly black neighborhoods.
@@robscorner4741 it's ok man. I understand that you're trying to be a cool white guy i respect your opinion but thats not the reality. For you to say most black families are welcoming in all black neighborhood , that maybe in africa. But this is USA here most black families are resentful and racist as well as non welcoming.
@Ese El Chatel I'm not trying to be a cool white guy sir. I have a lot of exposure to black people. I have lived in a neighborhood where I was only white guy that I know of. Sure there are hateful blacks like another one else can be.
@@robscorner4741 im not trying to instigate racism or to have a misunderstood with you. I just wanted to say the truth is that all black families should be like white families and i know white families are welcoming even if it goes agaisnt their cultural belief. I know youre giving them a chance but its really gonna take a long time and education and interest and support from everyone here.
Now all you need is an HBCU experience. Can’t wait to watch 📹🎉
That would be cool to learn about! I've also been curious to learn about the divine 9 fraternities
@@markianb I am a member of one of the divine nine sororities and would love to share with you information you’d like to know.
Jackson State homecoming would be lit 😂
@@markianb my husband is the Band Director at Morehouse in Atlanta. Let us know if you’d like to crash some time!
😉Martian fyi black don’t need permission to correct you period especially in their home we don’t have a problem letting you know what’s up
I don’t have sufficient words to express my admiration and appreciation for this video. Your host family’s courage, candor and selflessness are the absolute best of humanity. Thanks Markian and Loose Seeds for this truly inspiring experience.
The majestic beauty of this landscape called United States is not just its land mass the terrains and seasonal changes, it is a microcosm of the globe (I don't have to travel to Ecuador to have met an Ecuadorian, or to any other global country or territory because inspiringly and beautifully there is a piece of the world right here in this ONE country - the "United States".
Believe it or not "never judge a book by the cover" as a human species WE have flaws and hang-ups of insecurity, but WE do need each other, WE do want peace and fairness. More than not, WE are a peace-loving people but like anyone else when constantly being pushed down in the attempt to drown us, WE eventually will hold onto the hand trying to put us under to either release it from us or take it with us if we aren't allowed to coexist. We Care & We Share & We have patience to try to figure things out.
As a black man from the south, this made me cry, laugh and cry some more at the reality we face daily in this country.
Sending you some love fam. Please be gentle with yourself.
Love to see a solid black family and a family having no issue loving on someone of another "race"
Black people accept every race
We do this all the time 😂. I honestly think we are too welcoming at times. I haven’t watched the video yet but I already get good vibes from it
I appreciate SOLID FAMILIES
It’s hardly ever reciprocated.
That's why y'all on the bottom fools..
It’s so refreshing to see a happy and united family.
I am glad to have had the opportunity to share a small portion of the love and life of our family with you and your lovely lady. It is my desire that as humans, we will begin to see each other as one. Keep sharing you work. The world needs to see it.
Thank you so much Eunice and there is a lot of beauty in all of our cultures to share with each other! ❤
I really enjoyed how you depict the strong family unit here. What loving parents these children have!
RUclips isn’t enough, markian needs a whole entire TV show for this! keep up the good work!
As a black person that grew up like how their family operates from church , to intellectual conversations about our struggles as people, to dancing and bonding I loved to see this it felt like you were visiting my family❤
I'm from Baltimore and this really touched my heart! Thank you for taking the time to share our experiences and a big thank you to this beautiful family for representing us so well!
Me too, they did a great job
The genuineness is in his eyes and smile. He is humanly vested. The fact that he is trying to understand black people and black culture, is admirable.
We as blacks are misunderstood and judged and we have a lot a deal with daily in society. Great video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Profound analysis fam.
This family represents barely 30% of black fanilirs....if that, people judge blacks for good reason.
Love how they stated white and black accordingly without any sense of being discriminatory. Some think saying white or black is discrimination but it’s a fact that’s the color of a skin.
yeap, but the majority of the world doesn't associate by skin color so we're kinda odd and it makes sense as to why this country has so many race problems.
@@kevinprzy4539 so glad somebody addressed it
@@kevinprzy4539 man are so wrong people with black skin world wide experience racism for example black Hispanics
More like Pink and brown
@@kevinprzy4539 Actually it does. Anti blackness is worldwide.
As someone from South America, watching this has been super insightful. Learning that there is a strong stereotype over a fruit (and it is my favorite!), was a surprise. Thank you for sharing your experience, the family is lovely!
A fruit and a bird. Astounding isn't it.
Black families are some of the most accepting of other races. We feed and treat and shower with love and support. If only we got the same in return from others
True. But our hospitality is also our downfall. Yes, great love and respect other people groups but be wise when it comes to doing business because at the end of the day each person is out for themselves but black people tend to give away without thinking ahead.
u are right!
I released myself from the mental shackles of caring what white people and other non-Black people think of me and my culture. I will eat watermelon, dance and wear my hair as I please. My life doesn’t revolves around who thinks what of me, because I have knowledge and love of self.
🎯💯
I love that
Say it again for the people in the back!
WATERMELON IS EXTREMELY NUTRITIOUS! Thank you for reinforcing what God has been telling me to tell our PEOPLE! Eat Watermelon 🍉😋🎉😂
As someone who has hoped from foster home to foster home and got raised around black culture they family fr fr I’ve only lived with one white foster family but I loved the stuff I’ve experienced they showed me more love than my own family fr
Sending you some love fam. I currently work as a child protection social worker and I understand some of your struggles. I have signed to foster to adopt because some of the things I have seen
I applaud him for wanting to simply understand. A lot of people call themselves Allies but don’t understand.
We celebrate Juneteenth with the black half of our family every year. This is such a great holiday and very important. Thank you for bringing some awareness to this. There are so many whites out there who don't care at all about the importance of this holiday.
A lot of people don't know about Juneteenth but it's an important holiday! We talked more about it on the day but most the video aimed at highlighting Black culture. There was so much to cover!
@@markianb what nationality, race, ethnicity is your girlfriend? She's so cute
Juneteenth is a company holiday at my company. Nobody else I know in my entire city or state is off work for the day. I think it’s great that my company is making it an observed holiday and I think others should start doing the same.
😅@marieneu My job has observed Juneteenth since 2021. We are given the day off.
There are more PoC that do not care about the importance of July 4th..so FU.
I'm from Baltimore you should do a part 2 with another black family amazing vid...also beautiful family yall did represent 🙌🏾🙏🏾
I enjoy these videos and learning about other cultures. The three episode Hawaii was really good. Having a three part video, you got to see more and understand the culture. In one video everything seems rushed and a longer one, you learn so much more.
I'm glad you enjoy these videos! There's going to be one other culture that I'm splitting up into 2 episodes. The tough part is that each video takes 3 weeks to edit and I'm trying to complete 10 families this year so we're going to have to keep them shorter 😭 I may or may not be working on a podcast to be able to have deep conversations and not cut them out of the video...
Despite all of the propaganda,hate and negativity constantly shown on the media, most people of all races are actually very nice and accepting like the wonderful family on this post. You can find good loving people everywhere if that’s what you are seeking.🙏
Basically you'll find what your looking for there are good and bad humans in every community
exactly! racism 100% exists still to this day, but the media is trying to divide us more than they are unite which does not help at all. They focus on the hate and negativity towards others instead of sharing the good news of communities like this coming together and the reality that it can be a great time and that we are all human and we come from the same God.
As a white teenager originally from the US and now living in South Africa, In the last 5 years I've spent a lot of time in black african households. I think a lot of black Americans might be suprised by the amount of similarities. Yes there are differences in language, types of music and the way people dress, but family "Braais" are incredibly similar to cookouts and the devotion to family, aswell as the appreciation for community, food, music and dance is definitely shared. Its heartbreaking how much of black American peoples history was stolen from them, but its great to see that some of the core african values (such as Ubuntu and Ujamaa) have remained despite the many struggles black americans have had to face through generations. The warmth, acceptance and willingness to teach me their traditions, shown by my friends families, has brought me closer to their families than I have ever been with mine. I would love to hear a black person who has experienced black american culture and black african culture share their views and opinions. Also please remember that this is my observation from a white persons perspective and is not nessisarily an accurate representation of how black people may experiance this.
I love black people!!! I always feel at home with my black friends. One time a black lady who I'd only met a few hours earlier said "You're a white woman with black woman's soul."
I really wish we could do this more, and not be afraid to take the first step to get to know and understand each other without preconceived notions. Thanks for doing this episode.
thank you. i love you too
You are awesome

This video made me learn a lot thanks for this series Markian I learn so much that I never knew. I grew up in Belarus and to me everything was different in US
I love how open this family was. Very honest real kind hearted people. I love this so much 💕
Wow. This is realy deep and different from your regular videos. I like it a lot! So intresting and fun
Thank you! I'm passionate about making meaningful content that sparks important conversations in this world
What a beautiful family. But the kids are adorable and so mature. Great video!
Thank you again for going out of your way to share the culture of our neighbors. I am much more aware of our cultures racism and negative attitude toward others not like us because of people like you.
So glad I found your channel! I love seeing these types of videos. I'm from El Salvador but have been living in the US for most of my life. Kind of hoping you somehow get to discover Salvadoran/Central American culture in the U.S!
I want him to discover El Salvador as well!
I haven't even watched the video and I can tell you this is an amazing family filled with the love of God be blessed all of you signed a 55 year old Caucasian male God is good thank you Jesus 😊
Such a beautiful and enlightening video. Thank you to this wonderful family for sharing their lives and perspectives on day to day life.
Really really really really really LOOOVE what you’re doing! THANK YOU! Thank you for exposing different cultures , appreciating them & sharing the similarities. Many blessings to you! ❤️🙏🏾
I am from Iceland and frankly there aren't that many black people here and so whenever I see one I tend to look and and if they look back I just smile because honestly I'm just happy to see a non blonde haired blue eyed person for once 😂❤
We don't particularly care for white people smiling at us in America all that much. Just walk in by.
😭💕
Hey I'm black dude from the states I've wanted to go to Iceland 🇮🇸 for a min now... if I ever go ill say wassup
That was cool and informative to watch. I completely understand the BBQ and feeling out of place. Yet at the same time, some of the BEST times I've ever had. Some of my closest friends are black and I've spent MANY cookouts, Thanksgivings, Christmases, Birthdays, Fourth of July, Easter, Memorial Day, and just hanging out for no specific reason, enjoying fellowship, games, and good food! They truly felt like family when I was alone. I think more people should open themselves up to experiencing that and learning about other cultures.
Wow it’s sad to see this video only got 17k views this was actually such a dope video as well as educational
One month later up to 97k! 😊
I LOVE this!! Great job ✊🏾family, y’all represented well. Pretty similar to my family except it be a lot more “cousins” at the cookout and that church service was mild compared to ours 😊
They did !
When I was in foster care, I lived with a black family. Went to a black church. Went to all of their stuff. She was one of my two favorites. But, when my son was born when I was 18, my black foster mom was so sweet, the white one apologized and made me feel bad. That's not my overall experience with both cultures, but people need to stop acting like white is right. As a white, conservative woman.
Black people just want to be treated with respect like a human being white people care about animal than black people black people want to live in peace not deal with racism
Why can we love respect each other?
Loved this video! The family is So warm and enlightening! Keep doing these type of videos visiting different cultures, nationalities and races! They are teaching you things that have never been in our history books! ❤️🙌🏾😊
Good to see my folks from Baltimore. What a great family!
This was beautiful. A very beautiful family
This was so amazing! We love how the family welcomed you and how you willingly listened and soaked in the information! This is so so dope!
The facts that the family has a presence on RUclips definitely influenced their openness to the project. Dope content!!
This is so dope!! I love this series, your willingness to learn respect every culture and experience. Your awesome !!!❤
Loving people, all of you. Loved the family.
11:28 I hope we all heard and felt that 😭🙏🏽💓 Don't let it go over ya heads 🙏🏽🙏🏽God bless this family and please bring peace and harmony for all our brothers and sisters 🙏🏽💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
This is actually amazing, I love how he explains the nervousness and they explain the culture and history, I used to make water melon jokes all the time thinking it was just because they like water melon so it shocked me when I heard what it’s actually from.
I'm black and don't eat watermelon that much
It's slow crazy cuz alot of BP don't even like water melon
Stumbled on your channel and I found it very interesting and really enjoyed the interactions. Good luck on your continued journey!
That was really cool. Happy you had this experience. Such a beautiful family.
This was wonderful!! Especially being from the Baltimore area!! You all did a wonderful job!! 😊😊😊
I love this video. So much! As a white woman who has always felt so accepting. Seeing the family explain how they feel opens my eyes even more and will in the future, allow me to approach those of colors in a better manner. 💕
The dad is so pure
Great representation
As a black person I'm really happy to see this
And even though we went trough all of those though times and still are we keep our heads up
Happy you got to learn about our black culture
And wishing you all the best Markian and every Single one of ya'll ♡🙏🏽🙏🏽💖🥺
God bless
Love this!! Im blessed to have some kind and patient black friends that helps educate and correct me in the knowledge of black history and black culture. Glad you got learn about too. Really enjoyed this video.
What is sad is that they shouldn't have to. We should be teaching the history of all the people of the united states in schools. The idea that a person can graduate High school in the United States and not be adequately educated about their fellow Americans is just astounding. It's great you have good friends and frustrating that the nation's school systems insist on failing to educate white students about African and Native Americans. The three core populations of early colonial America
@@clementmckenzie7041 exactly! It’s ridiculous
Black history IS American history which you should know. The reason you don’t is due to the fact that America calls it black history to absolve itself from accountability, which your comment is proof of this fact.
Your videos deserve more recognition! Love the vids bro
As a Black man who is born and raised in Los Angeles around nothing but Armenians I can tell you that they strongly believe in gatekeeping their culture and can be very mistrustful of outsiders. Which makes sense.
Maybe this Markian guy can do a show where he takes a Black man into Glendale around his people and maybe it can tear down some misunderstandings and misconceptions we might have of another. 🤷
Hmmm chicken and waffles 😋
Running man... Perfect.
Hip Hop game! Enjoy your travels!!!
I am Puerto Rican and Mexican, my granddaughter's bloodline of Puerto Rican, Mexican and African American, her dad. The beautiful young daughter, Nadia look like my granddaughter. Every time I see Nadia, my heart beats with love 💓
I eat a whole watermelon all by myself. I love watermelon 🍉 😋 it's my favorite snack.
I loved this video 😘 ❤
I really thank you for doing this. This made me happy.
Loved it!! The Goodness of people!!! Great video!
What a beautiful family, honestly loved this content. I am Ethiopian and I felt like I was watching my own family . Awesome content.
LOVE THIS!!! Knowing is half the battle.
This has been the dopest series ever man, thank you @markian. This the content we need as America. Keep goin 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was just so nice to watch. Glad that you got to experience this. 😁😎👏🏾
This is awesome 👍🏽 I'd love to see more nationalities breaking bread and sharing love 💓🌹❤️
This is the third vid from you i am watching, and i just want to say thank you for showing me this great inside view of the american life! I am from Denmark and grew up with lots and lots of american focused stuff... This is fun to watch, wish you the best. Aswell as the rest of you out there trying to make this life into something!
When they mentioned the melon stero type I felt a deep rooted hurt, first of all because I had not heard about that before, and I could feel them carrying all the burdens these injustices brings and it is heavy the yoke our people bear.
This was amazing. So glad you got to experience this moment. It’s so hard living in a world that judges you ONLY off the color of your skin.
i hope you know i’m gonna take this idea and use it from a black guy perspective. thank you for this!
I can't wait to show this to my niece! We live in a predominantly white area, &she's had friends of all races, but I really want to instill the right values in her. Having the internet, where I can show her different people's lived experiences, has been absolutely vital for that, in my opinion. Thank you for sharing &creating this content!!!
I have so much love and respect for this video, words can't even describe it❤
❤ this family and this video!!! And thanks for sharing the church service at the end! I’m glad that you were able to experience it.
I live in a basically all white area and this makes me feel so much better for feeling out of place so much 🙈 it's validating. And no I don't have a victim mentality, I'm a badass and I'm running my show, it's just an inescapable thing. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Bro they didn't even half a victim mentality, idk how talking about how restrictive bs still affects you is a problem
The mother of this family was amazing in her way of using various situations that arose to teach lessons. Also, that she wanted to do this for her children to see and take away from it was really awesome. Beautiful family and beautiful documentary.
He got a calm cookout without the park setting and blaring music. No drunk uncle in tight pants, No kids running and spades getting spit down on the table, etc ,.
Its all great. He should feel calm
Aight, I'm waiting for the black grandma to come up because we all know that they're one of the most humble types of people out there.
I’m the only white person at all my homeboys family gatherings just be loving and respectful and eat the food and you’ll always be welcomed 😂 EDIT: what I mean by eat the food is don’t let the Aunties and Grannies see you not get a plate they going to take that as disrespect fr
You are so right, if you don’t eat anything it’s like a snub to the grandma’s & aunties! Lol😂😅
What an amazing family. This young man is so blessed. People are people. All should feel loved, wanted,needed and most of all respected. I wish more people from all walks of life. Would appreciate each other.!! These videos should be played in every class room.! Thank you so much to this family for stepping up and educating with such grace and class❤
To be honest, I see white people eat more watermelon than us. I never have watermelon when we cook out, not because of stereotypes but I just don’t buy it alot. I love it when I do buy it. I love this. Just like the stereotypical statement about welfare when statistical there are more white people on the system than black people. I learned also that, white people are safer around us than we’re around them. I love this
I believe it.
They eat more chicken than us too
I Noticed that every time I go to WHOLEFOODS hot food bar, there is an Asian, light Hispanic or white person that would see me making my way around, and they would stand directly in front of the damn chicken or stand behind me looking over my shoulder to see if I would grab the chicken.
😆
The funny thing is, I always go for the beef before chicken。
I love beef stew over Arugula salad and white rice, which so happens to be a THAI dish. (I discovered this when I thought I came up with something 😂)
The Asians, Whites and Hispanics eat chicken as much as we do if not more than. I don't why they are so ignorant when In our presence.
I believe they can be more aggressive and violent too, because we mind our business while they mind us. They always feel uncomfortable around us. I mean, I've seen white and Asian girls only decide to stroke their hair while looking at a black girl with an afro, head wrap or braids. They assume that we all have fake hair for being bald and want us to be jealous of their hair when we are having a good "minding our business" time, while they keep trying to get our attention in order to offend us.
SMH
It's a damn shame to be their age and act that way ☺️
@@nicoleraheem1195 das weird they tryna see if you gon grab the chicken wth
@@AnbuInDark Right !! 😆
Same here don’t buy it alot mainly cause it’s so hard to get. Good one.. but when you get one wow❤❤
@Songbirddd Exactly!
But it's a play on the "Chicken and watermelon 🍉 negroe" stereotype
Thank You and God bless your beautiful family❤Happy Holidays
I live in New Orleans, and I and most of the people I know have close friendships and family members from all sorts of cultural backgrounds. Its hard for me to understand that there are places in this country where that isn't the norm. We have so many festivals here, and whether they are focused on black or latino or asian culture, people of all backgrounds feel very comfortable attending them.
I lived in Baltimore which is a majority-black city. Afram always has lots of white people in attendance. There are also lots of Asian vendors, selling Asian food, and Italian vendors selling Italian food, especially sausages. Of course, there are West Indian vendors and music also. This year there has been a boom in Latinos moving to Baltimore so, we expect to see more Latinos at Afram in the next few years. It's as close to a multicultural experience as you can get in Baltimore
We're all human we should be enjoying each other company instead of being racist just because of skin color how stupid the guy was having fun
Wow been awhile, used to see you on Facebook. Glad RUclips algorithm brought me here
What a lovely family❤
I don't know why this channel popped up on my notifications but I'm so grateful 🙏🏿 I learned so much, I enjoyed the watermelon history as a black brit I never understood the whole association with watermelon and black people in the 🇺🇸
It’s a privilege to be invited to the Cookout or Carne asada !
This was wonderful, thank you! I'm so touched that you're reaching out for knowledge and understanding.
Being a black American is hard, and great. Love my culture and people.
That is just such a beautifull family. Not just them but even their extended family.
Great experiment, but the only thing that bothered me was your concern and awareness of being the only white person in the black group. Those people are not going to eat you, lol. The propaganda about us is nonsense. Black people are some of the most inviting, spiritual, and hospitable people. I think that's the very issue with most non-black people; they are too aware of the differences (and belief in propaganda about us) and not the similarities. I have been the only black person in White, Asian and Latino environments and never once thought of being the only black person in the group; just being myself. Most black people are not thinking about that unless someone makes an effort to point it out; which, unfortunately, other cultures do.
I whole heartedly enjoyed this.
I'm interested to see how Markian dealt with meeting his girlfriend's African family. My white boyfriend will be going thru this soon.
I am glad to have found this video, @Markian, you have some great content here, and I really enjoyed getting to know you and this beautiful family from Baltimore.
I love this. Each One reach one ! Nothing wrong with being nervous he's white and different from them. Our differences aren't what's wrong because we're different duh, its embracing the differences that's the problem. There's good and bad everywhere the goal is to find the good embrace the good. And snuff out the bad 🙏🏾💪🏾💯🙌🏾🤞🏾
I never knew where the watermelon thing came from. This is very eye-opening. Thank you for sharing.
