America belongs to the native Americans. If Africans are outsiders then Europeans who settled there are actually colonisers. If they credit themselves for developing the country, the Afro Americans have a much greater role in developing the country as well.

Yes the hate we have been taught. Important to reflect on that in order to root it out. Israels Zionist children are taught to hate the Palestinians,from early childhood, enabling them as soldiers to commit genocide against innocent women and children.

That’s part of the problem, we let them stay and take our land and the wealth given to us by GOD. South Africa and the apartheid regime was caused by our lack of standing up for what belongs to us Africans.
I am an African American woman whose ancestry is not of my choice, and it is strongly possible not to be the choice of my enslaved African ancestors. My ancestry includes at least two white men who fought in the Revolutionary War and a great grandparent who fought on the side of the Confederacy. According to my birthright, I am an African American. I had uncles who served honorably in the military in WW2 and the Korean War. I admire the young man's action. I'm past the time of showing patience and acts of humility toward the words,deeds, and overt actions of racists. I am not going anywhere. You made this my country, so live with me in it.
These ignorant uneducated people don't realize that the African slaves that was brought to this country were pulled away from their families and homeland to benifit these very people's ancestors. Sad
We’re here do to our ancestors disobedience to our God Yah we need to repent and there face will drop to know who we really are they know the government truly know
your words are powerful. don't blame you for being over racists. i'm white and grew up in the south. have veterans in my family. too. so sick of emotional poison of racists. all racists are mentally ill. feel grateful to share this beautiful land that belongs to the indigenous with you. glad you are here.
Let me ask the question? Why do Black people always have to be the adult in the room? I'm tired of it. I think that the woman was expecting the young Black man to confront her so that she could call the police. Black people, don't take the bait. Go about your business. Stay Calm.

I had a similar “Karen” experience while in line at a grocery store in NJ!! White people need to remember that the the Indigenous people (aka Native Americans) are the ONLY REAL AMERICANS!!! All of us are immigrants!!!
@ At that point a Federal Law Suit against the city, the police department, and the cop personally are in order… Without resistance they feel free to keep this activity going
This powerful story highlights the importance of confronting hate with dignity and calmness. Darrell's response to the elderly woman's racist comment not only silenced the room but also sparked reflection in the community. By sharing his family's history, he reminded everyone of the sacrifices made for this country and the value of kindness and respect. His composure turned a painful moment into a lesson on the power of words and the courage to stand up against ignorance. A truly inspiring example of using grace to challenge prejudice.
This video truly teaches us about the power of resilience and dignity in the face of hate. The strength of the man’s response reminds us that we all have the ability to rise above negativity and stay true to ourselves. May we all find peace and strength in our daily lives, facing challenges with grace and courage. Stay healthy and happy, and keep spreading positivity!
Glad you used the word resilience we've been that way, way to long it shows were chosen people by the highest of all to be in his light, just us and only us😊

Darrel you are God sent thank you for all the beautiful words it takes an honest truthful person to help people understand how cruel they are. I am a dark skinned native American I see and feel people starring at me judging me because of my skin color. I've never had the courage or the words to defend myself. So thank you Darrel God bless you and your family ❤❤❤
1898nig1 why should you have to defend yourself because of your skin color??? If you were the young man in this story I you could have imparted as.much wisdom based on your own and your family's experience. I'm an old (92) white woman who was told sometime during those years that "black is beautiful" and I believed it and still do!!
Beautiful soul. Truly touching in bitter sweet way. Bitterness of seeing how many people still don't realise the pain which they cause. Sweetness to see a true man of honour and the heart which by it's kindness and it's strength to eat all the pain in soul. Man stabbed painfully with the knife of insult removed the knife from the wound and cuted the piece of bred fire everyone there. Big heart oir you, brother. I feel sorry for the lady too. What bad happened to her and made her being like this? People who receive kindness in their lives are rarely willing to hurt. Those who do hurt are often forwarding own pain. Only cure is the kindness, and this young gentleman knows it. It is in fact the honour, to have such true gentleman around ❤
The way Darrell stood up for himself and his family, without raising his voice or resorting to anger, is what we need more of in the world. This is real courage
Native Americans were here first. American has never been all white. Now we are all here and we would be a lot happier if we got along. I am an old white woman too, and would rather have Darryl for a friend. A beautiful story, thank you
400 hundred years and we are still expected to teach racist... why? It changes nothing but the story helps some people feel better. They have no shame and we don't expect these people to change from a few words. These delusional stories.
I doubt this actually happened but either way it is a meaningful lesson for us all. Because of the Fascists who will be running this "government" soon. We need more people like Darrell!!
Hate and racist is thought and will never stop. Darrell thanks for addressing this situation with dignity and pride. Sometimes it is hard to do that, but your parents thought you how to be resilient. Great story but too many times, it happens. 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽💛
One of these days, she'll say that to the wrong person and regret it-maybe then she'll smarten up. If she's single, it makes sense, but if she's married, that's downright scary. And wow, this guy really knows how to turn a short story into a long one
If you don't understand history,😮 you are doomed to repeat. My grandmother was enslaved most of her life. I have to tell this story to so many racist people! I am retired from the Army and get so sick of people who don't understand we serve our country out of love! Our history has been white-explained far too long! Learn true American history and understand all that helped to build this country. We want a world where everyone belongs.
Alot of our peoples served without choice be honest" how can we love a country that screws us everyday no we dont hate it but it's important we be honest and DECOLONIZE our minds we should never apologize existing love peace to you
African slaves stayed on plantations. Stop spreading misinformation trying to make it seem any other way. This country was founded and built mainly by white people. The development of this country falls on the backs off white people hence why white people are who you throw your blame towards anytime something goes wrong.
God send messages all the time. Im mexican married to an english woman. Im now in her little english town, my mother in law is always trying to offend me, insulting me, in a passive agressive British way. But This Holy days, i feel different than before, i feel, and im sure, that arguing with her is to become like her, and so im just giving her back, pure compassion and kindness... She only respond like the old lady in the story, but i feel, that my baby girl deserves It, i deserve It, and my mother in law deserves It, because, im the one that is acting with dignity and Christian LOVE, and her soul is suffering, being secretly racist towards me... I Hope everybody understands, that we all, are, one.
I wonder where her "people' came from when they migrated to this country. Is she related to the colonists who stole the land from the people who were here first. This land was not empty.
It’s strange how so many of us Black people share that EXACT history that Darryl recalled to that woman. I am also the grandson of Sharecroppers from Mississippi, so this story really resonated with me.
Everyone except the Native Americans have come from different countries at different times. It will be better for everyone to remember this fundamental truth. 💡
(07:21) "Darrell’s calm, dignified response to the elderly woman’s hateful words was a masterclass in strength and resilience. Instead of anger, he chose to educate and inspire, sharing the sacrifices and contributions of his ancestors. His words not only silenced the room but also planted a seed of reflection and change in everyone who witnessed it. It’s a powerful reminder that grace and truth can often achieve what confrontation cannot-uniting people in understanding rather than dividing them further. This moment was truly unforgettable."
They are his blessings its so sweet a story. Helping others this way is so powerful. He was so strong in himself its so beautiful . Many lessons learned here..
❤️🌟young man you handle that absolutely beautifully so proud of you and the words you express to the lady your parents should be so proud of you,I would love to see hatred disappear and love step in real ♥️ we all can learn from this young man grace and peace.🥰
What a very intelligent young man , I hope that this rude woman will have learned her lesson in being racist ! How true were this young man’s words were & how GRACIOUSLY he spoke them xxxGod bless you dear Sur & your good loving Family who, obviously has brought you up to be a good & respectful man xxx love ❤ helen xxxxxxx😊
Since moving to the UK from Africa eight years ago, I've been told to "go back where you came from" three times. I've also witnessed numerous other racist incidents. Whenever these situations arise, I remind myself of the many kind and open-minded people I've met. I think of all the positive things others have done for me. After some reflection, I choose to forgive, but I always make sure to inform them that such behaviour is a crime punishable by law in England.
"This story is a powerful reminder that true strength lies in our ability to remain calm and dignified, no matter the storm. Let’s all strive to be like this man: rising above hate, embracing our values, and spreading kindness. Wishing everyone peace, courage, and endless positivity in life!"
One of these days she'll say that to the wrong person and she'll be sorry and i don't know maybe she'll smarten up. if she's single i can see why. if she's married that's scary.
Kudos to the young man. But it broke my heart that no one stood with him to say this was wrong. In a room full of people, he stood alone. Silence allows the aggressor to believe that they have support, or, at the very least, permission for their actions. Don't just "be inspired" by stories like this. Stand up, and stand with. Be the force for change, and making this a better world.
Well spoken. I personally believe nothing will change. Current and past events reflect the existence of generational hatred, and systemic racism. The event described is a classic example. And I have lived a very very long time of close to 90 years.!!
I'm a seventy eight year old Hispanic American 4th generation, my uncle fought in world war 2, yet my great grandchildren have been told to go back to Mexico, they don't even speak Spanish. But that just tells you how ignorant some people are.
Nah. Black Americans came before Columbus but were not the original inhabitants. Being originally from Africa is not shameful or unimportant. No need to make up falsehoods on Black origins.
@@ydcee3123Beloved no one is shameful of Africa because life started there however most blk people were here in America. Black Indians Cherokee, Seminole and Creek.
@@ydcee3123your WRONG “Black” Americans are the true Natives you been lied too Have no connection to Africa two different races Brazilian Archeologists made discovery they dug back 50,000 years to seek first Americans found skulls an bones took back to lab WASNT coming up mongoloid skulls which are their skulls did clay to bring back face from expert it was clearly a “Black” woman. They went to Siberia 13,000 years ago to get Asians to be Pretendians to keep from “Blacks” knowing they are actually the owners If you look at so called Indians they look Asian Still not taking anything away from them they suffered too but are not the Natives of this country sorry to bust your bubble
Common story for many in America and beyond. But this guy is simply narrating history. Great for sharpening the channels skill of Storytelling. I've noticed duplication in these stories on TH-cam. For me, it really takes too long to tell the stories.
I am not American and I don't live in the US , but I was waiting for the young to add : "you Madam have also to go back to Europe where your ancestors came from " . I would love to see her reaction and that of the people witnessing this scene 😂😂😂
Highly insightful story narrating the whole incident in a composed manner. Moral: Don't leave the hate spreading, put a comma, it will pause, making society re-think on the subject. Future will be much better.👏👏👏
The year is 2024, I get told this by Wasps at least 3x a year. I'm a Marine veter- an, you'd think that would mean something. To these disres- pectful people it means zero. I've been hearing this garbage since I was 7 years old. Am now 73, sadly, there are people that want this to be a mainstay of our society. We are a sick society, have we really changed? To those that NEVER served our country, I say Semper Fi.
This story truly shows that racism is deeply rooted this generation o matter how old the person is, the racism will continue for this generation, shame on that old lady
Something like this happened to me many years ago and I which I was as dignified like this man in your story. My incident was with a younger woman. When she told me to go back to where I came from, I told her I will go after she does and I said my dear you don't belong here either because it is obvious you are not Native to this land. A few people watching actually laugh and she was very embarrass and did not respond.
This election should teach us all that racism and sexism is going to be a long battle! This story brought tears to my eyes. I grew up as a southern white child the same age as Ruby Bridges and wondered how long it would take before all the ugliness we grew up with would pass! Sadly, I’m still wondering the same things!
I enjoyed the “story” very much. Daryl’s response was exemplary. Shows he is a well bred, educated young man. Very proud of him. Just imagine how different the response could’ve been.
Somebody stole African royalty and brought us to America as slaves. Consequently, America was not founded in God but instead by greed and economics. We as a people survived. The scripture that whites used was "Slaves obey your Master" which was used ironeously. God is my Master. Who are you?😮
Men are incapable of justice. All men have their biases. True Justice comes from God. "Whom the Son sets free is free indeed." Why should another man 's mental limitations, limit our freedom? FREEDOM IS A MENTAL CHOICE. Ain't no chains on me. 😢😢😮😅
This is another example of why the truth should be tolded in schools systems, People who don't know historical facts you’ll learn one today, In our land called America we were and are the true Indigenous Hebrew Black People Native To This Land Wayyyyy before you learned to walk on two legs not four, I'll conclude reading is fundamental and understand what you've read😊
Now, the question is where did this old granny come from? She is not from America either and she is also an immigrant from Europe. How long will this old lady remain on this earth? We are all pilgrims and should be ready to quit the place when God calls back.
If this is in fact true, it is sad that Darryl wasted his breath on this woman - what he told her she already knew. Walking away would have been a better use of his time.😏
they forgot that Europeans like her came over too. this land belonged to the indigenous people but the land has been assimilated to accommodate all people of colour and race.
He did well. The land belongs to him as it belongs to her. It is the land of the red Indians, who were persecuted by the white men. Her ancestors came from Europe and his from Africa.
When a seed of truth is sowed at the right time and attitude,the seed definitely develop into a good plant. The earth is waiting eagerly for truth to prevail.
I hope some day there won't be any hatred among people that have different color of skin. We are all human, no matter what color of skin we have. God made made all of us equal. If God made us all the same, this world would be very doll.
I wouldn't be too surprised if such a scene were made by someone in Europe, but I find it unbelievable this happened in the U.S.A. 😮😮😮 Christmas greetings from Germany.
Blessings : Ty so very much for sharing this TEACHABLE SITUATION & I'm a deliver that knows the power of words ❤❤ I have been a victim of spoken words to hurt me bad thing abt it I was until I found my voice .❤ INTROVERTED
Beautiful warm story. This young Man was brought up by responsible, loving parents.... The old lady was brought up by parents that taught hate.... The dignity Darel showed this hateful Woman, shows what respect towards another human being can do.... As young as Darel is, he WAS the Teacher... The old Lady a uneducated , hateful , pupil.... Thats the difference between Good and Evil.!!!
"This title carries a powerful and necessary message. It challenges the reader to confront the roots of hatred that may have been ingrained in them, urging self-reflection and empathy. It’s a poignant reminder that hate is not inherent - it’s taught - and just as it is learned, it can be unlearned. Stories like these inspire growth, compassion, and a deeper understanding of others. It’s a call for change, for love to triumph over prejudice. Truly, a thought-provoking and heart-stirring message that stays with you long after the story ends."
America belongs to the native Americans. If Africans are outsiders then Europeans who settled there are actually colonisers. If they credit themselves for developing the country, the Afro Americans have a much greater role in developing the country as well.
Exactly my thoughts, and I am not African American. The history of my country goes back more than 4,000 years.
Well said

Say it louder for the people in the back
As a commenter above you asked - "Why does the Black person always have to be the adult in the room while White people continue to act like something out of Lord of the Flies"? th-cam.com/users/shortsLWd7vEtScg8
I had a similar “Karen” experience while in line at a grocery store in NJ!! White people need to remember that the the Indigenous people (aka Native Americans) are the ONLY REAL AMERICANS!!! All of us are immigrants!!!
That’s your opinion.I don’t have time to educate anymore especially the ones always bragging about their IQ
That was inspirational!
In California, she would have been arrested for disorderly conduct.
As she should be
In Mississippi and a lot of other places, it would be he that was arrested with no reason given!
@ At that point a Federal Law Suit against the city, the police department, and the cop personally are in order… Without resistance they feel free to keep this activity going
that’s doubtful
@@YSLTrial-e7s You're in a white country if you're in America. I hate to be the one to break it to you.
This powerful story highlights the importance of confronting hate with dignity and calmness. Darrell's response to the elderly woman's racist comment not only silenced the room but also sparked reflection in the community. By sharing his family's history, he reminded everyone of the sacrifices made for this country and the value of kindness and respect. His composure turned a painful moment into a lesson on the power of words and the courage to stand up against ignorance. A truly inspiring example of using grace to challenge prejudice.
This video truly teaches us about the power of resilience and dignity in the face of hate. The strength of the man’s response reminds us that we all have the ability to rise above negativity and stay true to ourselves. May we all find peace and strength in our daily lives, facing challenges with grace and courage. Stay healthy and happy, and keep spreading positivity!
Well, it teaches me how people chose to be a jackass instead of just going about their day.
Glad you used the word resilience we've been that way, way to long it shows were chosen people by the highest of all to be in his light, just us and only us😊

Darrel you are God sent thank you for all the beautiful words it takes an honest truthful person to help people understand how cruel they are. I am a dark skinned native American I see and feel people starring at me judging me because of my skin color. I've never had the courage or the words to defend myself. So thank you Darrel God bless you and your family ❤❤❤
1898nig1 why should you have to defend yourself because of your skin color??? If you were the young man in this story I you could have imparted as.much wisdom based on your own and your family's experience. I'm an old (92) white woman who was told sometime during those years that "black is beautiful" and I believed it and still do!!
Darrale you have spoken well
And you have given the old lady a good lesson.
Beautiful soul. Truly touching in bitter sweet way. Bitterness of seeing how many people still don't realise the pain which they cause. Sweetness to see a true man of honour and the heart which by it's kindness and it's strength to eat all the pain in soul. Man stabbed painfully with the knife of insult removed the knife from the wound and cuted the piece of bred fire everyone there. Big heart oir you, brother.
I feel sorry for the lady too. What bad happened to her and made her being like this? People who receive kindness in their lives are rarely willing to hurt. Those who do hurt are often forwarding own pain. Only cure is the kindness, and this young gentleman knows it. It is in fact the honour, to have such true gentleman around ❤
A wonderful message for all of us. Thanks for sharing and God bless
She too came from somewhere.... 🙏
Yea it's called EUROPE. DUHHHHHHHHH.....Real genius stuff right here.
The way Darrell stood up for himself and his family, without raising his voice or resorting to anger, is what we need more of in the world. This is real courage
Native Americans were here first. American has never been all white. Now we are all here and we would be a lot happier if we got along. I am an old white woman too, and would rather have Darryl for a friend. A beautiful story, thank you
America isn't all White.
400 hundred years and we are still expected to teach racist... why? It changes nothing but the story helps some people feel better. They have no shame and we don't expect these people to change from a few words. These delusional stories.
"A journey of a thousand miles, starts with a single step".
The point is to make the racist feel ashamed.
@@elorateq3672And they poke nose on other country's racist issues 8:29
I doubt this actually happened but either way it is a meaningful lesson for us all. Because of the Fascists who will be running this "government" soon. We need more people like Darrell!!
It does happen even to the seventh generation Hispanics. "Go back to Mexico!"
No.. we need less black crime.. fascists..lol... you use the word incorrectly
I fear you may be correct, it's mostly the English and my generation. Already been threatened and they are not in yet.
Hate and racist is thought and will never stop. Darrell thanks for addressing this situation with dignity and pride. Sometimes it is hard to do that, but your parents thought you how to be resilient. Great story but too many times, it happens. 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽💛
Thanx so much darrell.
It's disgusting that none of those around thought to say anything!
One of these days, she'll say that to the wrong person and regret it-maybe then she'll smarten up. If she's single, it makes sense, but if she's married, that's downright scary. And wow, this guy really knows how to turn a short story into a long one
If you don't understand history,😮 you are doomed to repeat. My grandmother was enslaved most of her life. I have to tell this story to so many racist people! I am retired from the Army and get so sick of people who don't understand we serve our country out of love! Our history has been white-explained far too long! Learn true American history and understand all that helped to build this country. We want a world where everyone belongs.
MY GRANDPARENTS ALSO WERE ENSLAVED IN JIM CROW ERA SHARE CROPPERS
Alot of our peoples served without choice be honest" how can we love a country that screws us everyday no we dont hate it but it's important we be honest and DECOLONIZE our minds we should never apologize existing love peace to you
African slaves stayed on plantations. Stop spreading misinformation trying to make it seem any other way. This country was founded and built mainly by white people. The development of this country falls on the backs off white people hence why white people are who you throw your blame towards anytime something goes wrong.
God send messages all the time. Im mexican married to an english woman. Im now in her little english town, my mother in law is always trying to offend me, insulting me, in a passive agressive British way. But This Holy days, i feel different than before, i feel, and im sure, that arguing with her is to become like her, and so im just giving her back, pure compassion and kindness... She only respond like the old lady in the story, but i feel, that my baby girl deserves It, i deserve It, and my mother in law deserves It, because, im the one that is acting with dignity and Christian LOVE, and her soul is suffering, being secretly racist towards me... I Hope everybody understands, that we all, are, one.
I wonder where her "people' came from when they migrated to this country. Is she related to the colonists who stole the land from the people who were here first. This land was not empty.
It’s strange how so many of us Black people share that EXACT history that Darryl recalled to that woman. I am also the grandson of Sharecroppers from Mississippi, so this story really resonated with me.
Everyone except the Native Americans have come from different countries at different times.
It will be better for everyone to remember this fundamental truth. 💡

"Darrell’s calm, dignified response to the elderly woman’s hateful words was a masterclass in strength and resilience. Instead of anger, he chose to educate and inspire, sharing the sacrifices and contributions of his ancestors. His words not only silenced the room but also planted a seed of reflection and change in everyone who witnessed it. It’s a powerful reminder that grace and truth can often achieve what confrontation cannot-uniting people in understanding rather than dividing them further. This moment was truly unforgettable."
Truth shall set you free....
They are his blessings its so sweet a story. Helping others this way is so powerful. He was so strong in himself its so beautiful . Many lessons learned here..
❤️🌟young man you handle that absolutely beautifully so proud of you and the words you express to the lady your parents should be so proud of you,I would love to see hatred disappear and love step in real ♥️ we all can learn from this young man grace and peace.🥰
What a very intelligent young man , I hope that this rude woman will have learned her lesson in being racist ! How true were this young man’s words were & how GRACIOUSLY he spoke them xxxGod bless you dear Sur & your good loving Family who, obviously has brought you up to be a good & respectful man xxx love ❤ helen xxxxxxx😊
Since moving to the UK from Africa eight years ago, I've been told to "go back where you came from" three times. I've also witnessed numerous other racist incidents. Whenever these situations arise, I remind myself of the many kind and open-minded people I've met. I think of all the positive things others have done for me. After some reflection, I choose to forgive, but I always make sure to inform them that such behaviour is a crime punishable by law in England.
"This story is a powerful reminder that true strength lies in our ability to remain calm and dignified, no matter the storm. Let’s all strive to be like this man: rising above hate, embracing our values, and spreading kindness. Wishing everyone peace, courage, and endless positivity in life!"
This Karen is out of her coma from the 20's.😂😅.
💯👍👏👏such wisdom from a young man.
Thank you, Darrell. 👏🏽
AMEN ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of these days she'll say that to the wrong person and she'll be sorry and i don't know maybe she'll smarten up. if she's single i can see why. if she's married that's scary.
Grace N mercy of God
Kudos to the young man. But it broke my heart that no one stood with him to say this was wrong. In a room full of people, he stood alone. Silence allows the aggressor to believe that they have support, or, at the very least, permission for their actions. Don't just "be inspired" by stories like this. Stand up, and stand with. Be the force for change, and making this a better world.
Well spoken. I personally believe nothing will change. Current and past events reflect the existence of generational hatred, and systemic racism. The event described is a classic example. And I have lived a very very long time of close to 90 years.!!
I'm a seventy eight year old Hispanic American 4th generation, my uncle fought in world war 2, yet my great grandchildren have been told to go back to Mexico, they don't even speak Spanish. But that just tells you how ignorant some people are.
We Black Americans have ALWAYS inhabited this land. We are aboriginal to America. We ARE the REAL and TRUE American Indians. ✊🏾🏹🪶💯🔥🔥🔥
Nah. Black Americans came before Columbus but were not the original inhabitants. Being originally from Africa is not shameful or unimportant. No need to make up falsehoods on Black origins.
It's always fascinating to learn about the diverse histories and identities that shape our understanding of America.
@@ydcee3123 Both are true. Indigenous, First people across the world came from Africa.
@@ydcee3123Beloved no one is shameful of Africa because life started there however most blk people were here in America. Black Indians Cherokee, Seminole and Creek.
@@ydcee3123your WRONG “Black” Americans are the true Natives you been lied too
Have no connection to Africa two different races
Brazilian Archeologists made discovery they dug back 50,000 years to seek first Americans found skulls an bones took back to lab WASNT coming up mongoloid skulls which are their skulls did clay to bring back face from expert it was clearly a “Black” woman.
They went to Siberia 13,000 years ago to get Asians to be Pretendians to keep from “Blacks” knowing they are actually the owners
If you look at so called Indians they look Asian
Still not taking anything away from them they suffered too but are not the Natives of this country sorry to bust your bubble
Common story for many in America and beyond. But this guy is simply narrating history. Great for sharpening the channels skill of Storytelling. I've noticed duplication in these stories on TH-cam. For me, it really takes too long to tell the stories.
Awesome narration! Could not have been done better! EXCELLENT! A reminder that we all belong here! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
Great story and message.....thank you!
Good Comments God bless the young man .
I am not American and I don't live in the US , but I was waiting for the young to add : "you Madam have also to go back to Europe where your ancestors came from " . I would love to see her reaction and that of the people witnessing this scene 😂😂😂
Highly insightful story narrating the whole incident in a composed manner. Moral: Don't leave the hate spreading, put a comma, it will pause, making society re-think on the subject. Future will be much better.👏👏👏
The year is 2024, I get told this by Wasps at least 3x a year. I'm a Marine veter-
an, you'd think that would mean something. To these disres-
pectful people it means zero.
I've been hearing this garbage since I was 7 years old. Am now 73, sadly, there are people that want this to be a mainstay of our society. We are a sick society, have we really changed?
To those that NEVER served our country, I say Semper Fi.
This story truly shows that racism is deeply rooted this generation o matter how old the person is, the racism will continue for this generation, shame on that old lady
Something like this happened to me many years ago and I which I was as dignified like this man in your story. My incident was with a younger woman. When she told me to go back to where I came from, I told her I will go after she does and I said my dear you don't belong here either because it is obvious you are not Native to this land. A few people watching actually laugh and she was very embarrass and did not respond.
This guy really know how to make a short story long
This election should teach us all that racism and sexism is going to be a long battle! This story brought tears to my eyes. I grew up as a southern white child the same age as Ruby Bridges and wondered how long it would take before all the ugliness we grew up with would pass! Sadly, I’m still wondering the same things!
We all belong to God.😊
Wow! I'm glad he's a good guy and knew how to talk to the elderly woman.
In the voice of Harriet Tubman, Go back it's much too late for that!!,in fact many of us were here many generations before most European immigrant's.
Unless you are 100% American Indian you are not found here.
He should have told her SURE, but you come with me. Because you COME from me!
Onlookers said nothing they just went home and voted for Trump.
Thank you! Kindness toward others in love to another human being is the right action to use.
TRUE! Thanks to this video! ❤
A beautiful day with beautiful story 0:50
If this story is true thats god speaking through him😊
I enjoyed the “story” very much. Daryl’s response was exemplary. Shows he is a well bred, educated young man. Very proud of him. Just imagine how different the response could’ve been.
Such would be a sure sign of ignorance and stupidity.
I probably would’ve lost my entire temper if I were in this same situation. I have to remember what Daryl said and how he said it.
React with no reaction. Folks want you to react.
I’m loving this story!!!
Well, his ancestors sure didn't buy a ticket to get here! Somebody went and Got them!
Somebody stole African royalty and brought us to America as slaves. Consequently, America was not founded in God but instead by greed and economics. We as a people survived. The scripture that whites used was "Slaves obey your Master" which was used ironeously. God is my Master. Who are you?😮
Yes, words can hurt. I like the way he handled the situation.
These stories are exhausting. America needs to do better. But is that even possible?
Men are incapable of justice. All men have their biases. True Justice comes from God. "Whom the Son sets free is free indeed." Why should another man 's mental limitations, limit our freedom? FREEDOM IS A MENTAL CHOICE. Ain't no chains on me. 😢😢😮😅
This is another example of why the truth should be tolded in schools systems, People who don't know historical facts you’ll learn one today, In our land called America we were and are the true Indigenous Hebrew Black People Native To This Land Wayyyyy before you learned to walk on two legs not four, I'll conclude reading is fundamental and understand what you've read😊
Now, the question is where did this old granny come from? She is not from America either and she is also an immigrant from Europe. How long will this old lady remain on this earth? We are all pilgrims and should be ready to quit the place when God calls back.
Hell has enlarged itself for ALL HATERS regardless of race, creed or color. Hell is integrated and so is Heaven!😊 Ain't nowhere to run.😂
Most people don't know the "history" of their countries. If she knew what the truth was; she won't have spoken like that.
She must be forgiven.
If this is in fact true, it is sad that Darryl wasted his breath on this woman - what he told her she already knew. Walking away would have been a better use of his time.😏
Well done for the way you handled yourself young man. You was amazing
Message is powerful meaningful.zbut it could have been shorter..But thank you for bringing this 👌😌🌷
they forgot that Europeans like her came over too. this land belonged to the indigenous people but the land has been assimilated to accommodate all people of colour and race.
Congrats, 🎉🎉Darrel.
Kindness is power. The narrator is good in tone. But could be more beautiful if sportens a bit! Thank you ❤
A wonderful story
For westerners the skin colour matters the most. But for others it is the religion. This incompatibility is the source of all the trouble
It's just as much his country as it is her country.
He did well. The land belongs to him as it belongs to her. It is the land of the red Indians, who were persecuted by the white men. Her ancestors came from Europe and his from Africa.
When a seed of truth is sowed at the right time and attitude,the seed definitely develop into a good plant. The earth is waiting eagerly for truth to prevail.
I hope some day there won't be any hatred among people that have different color of skin. We are all human, no matter what color of skin we have. God made made all of us equal. If God made us all the same, this world would be very doll.
I wouldn't be too surprised if such a scene were made by someone in Europe, but I find it unbelievable this happened in the U.S.A. 😮😮😮 Christmas greetings from Germany.
Blessings : Ty so very much for sharing this TEACHABLE SITUATION & I'm a deliver that knows the power of words ❤❤ I have been a victim of spoken words to hurt me bad thing abt it I was until I found my voice .❤ INTROVERTED
Most white in the US forgot they were from Europe not America 😮
He should have reminded her that she is a European migrant and it is not her country either.
She should keep her nose out of this ‘story’! He’s probably more American than she is!
Beautiful warm story.
This young Man was brought up by responsible, loving parents....
The old lady was brought up by parents that taught hate....
The dignity Darel showed this hateful Woman, shows what respect towards another human being can do....
As young as Darel is, he WAS the Teacher...
The old Lady a uneducated , hateful , pupil....
Thats the difference between Good and Evil.!!!
"This title carries a powerful and necessary message. It challenges the reader to confront the roots of hatred that may have been ingrained in them, urging self-reflection and empathy. It’s a poignant reminder that hate is not inherent - it’s taught - and just as it is learned, it can be unlearned. Stories like these inspire growth, compassion, and a deeper understanding of others. It’s a call for change, for love to triumph over prejudice. Truly, a thought-provoking and heart-stirring message that stays with you long after the story ends."
IMPRESSIVE...BEAUTIFUL NARRATION
"THE HATE YOU GIVE!!!."
