I am a 24 year old young man, and I can honestly say that generally people my age are not racist. I am not saying that there are none. But I don't know of anyone my age that hates people from other races because of their ethnicity or skin color. We as believers, that this world can be rasism free, must stand together and fight for a rasism free future.
@@pylchott9864 Speak the truth! They must not have seen all of the stories about white college students dressing in blackface and derogatory costumes. What about the young, white racist mass shooters in the U.S.? The white boys marching with torches in North Carolina were mostly in their 20s/30s. Just because they smile in your face and sleep with you doesn't mean they aren't racist. Everyone wants some chocolate. Y'all better wake up. They will play with you now, but when college is over, they put on their suits and join the other white oppressors. If this white family doesn't give her a raise and move her to a better home they are full of sh _t. This smells like a white guilt dog and pony show to me. I'm with you Eck. No white validation needed.
I was not in the least surprised when I heard what Julian and His Family were doing, the humility and respect he pays to everyone regardless of age, race or whatever is a huge inspiration.. Julian, we love you and you are a role model to us forever
This is what I have always said about South Africa, the problem is, we do not understand each other’s struggles and this is why to point fingers at each other when we don’t understand why we tend to fight for the things we fight for in each and every race. I commend this family for trying to understand the other side!!!! We need to learn about each person’s struggles and understand where we are all coming from and maybe people can band together to fight against the injustice we face as South Africans at the hands of our government, instead of pointing fingers at one another!!! Lovely!!!
Although they will go back to their normal place. Effort was made by them, to experience how we live. To understand where we come from. And have better knowledge of what we engage with on a daily basis. I plaugh for them. 💯 Keep it up. Hope we all learning from the initiative they took and embrace it 🙏
Once the example has been started - more MUST be encouraged to do the same . I really looking forward for better future for us all. We can act and less talk. Take note of security as well and hope POLICE will do POLICING as expected.
I'm a white south african who used to visit my family friends in Soweto township on weekends, church there was amazing! I'll never forget how welcomed I felt and all my friends i played with especially on guyfox weeknds, it was my home away from home.
@mbigboyny you where obviously taught/conditioned to hate people judging by the outward appearance of skin color! Don't you know we are all uniquely loved and created for a special reason beyond this physical world/ appearance? Do you not realise that this life here on earth is temporary? We all have blood flowing through our veins, which makes us the same color: red. Judging someone just because of the skin tone they where born into is so shallow and misleading, what a waste of time! Nothing is hidden from God's sight and every person will have to give God an answer when their time is up. What will you say to OUR CREATOR when your cord is cut my friend?
to judge a man you must first walk a mile in his shoes.. in this case it is a month, this is a great spirit of ubuntu..racism just took one of its last breaths.. long live the Rainbow Nation. #quote
'walking in the shoes of another'...this analogy should be banned; walking in the shoes of a serial rapist for instance, does not bring you any closer to understanding his nature...so, you shouldn't even go there.
Oh wow.. ppl should calm down. These people are literally DOING SOMETHING. And this gave them a glimpse of something they would not have had if they didnt do it. Yerr.. stop f'in complaining about every dam thing. Its pathetic.
@dtvqa Maby if they'd get some education and learn, or just atleast try instead of turning to drugs, smoking, and much more, then they'd have more of a chance to get a job. And btw non whites have more of a chance to get a job on top of it, BEI, aka (Black Economic Inpowerment)
You can never blame a person or say otherwise about their riches but when a rich person truly wants to learn and understand about the other side it's commendable and truly educational and makes you understand more about other people and does humble you and make you want to do better..
I admire this family for moving in next door to their workers and learning how others live. I respect them and wish them blessings. Not everyone has the gumption of the Hewetts. I believe it will make them a family who understands the struggle of others in the SA community.
They have a heart of gold, they give you in the palm of the hand, not the other way around. I hope this reaches out many out there as we will be celebrating June 16 and things will never be the same again.
While I enjoy sleeping in a tent in the woods for a weekend in the summer, I am under no illusion that I am experiencing the same thing that the guy who LIVES in a tent in the city park experiences.
This is good! Very good! Blacks and whites should live together to achieve a free society, justice and solidarity. Prejudice is imprisonment for anyone who is biased and who is the victim of prejudice. Hugs from Brazil.
i think its pretty cool for them to open their eyes to see whats happening in the country they live in and doing this also to understand their domestic
I like what they did, the only way to know how it is like, is to experience it! The sad part is of course that a domestic worker earns so little money that they can not improve their standard of living beyond this. But because of very high unemployment rate in South Africa the salaries are kept very low... But this particular family is not to blame for that of course.. :)
That fact that they are not politicians it makes it even more welcoming. Though not forever but it is a step taken poorly from the heart. This is where I don't see color but human beings.
My son was the only white boy in his class at school in London here for one year. Most people are not white where I live (even though I a white Briton have not moved home!). Yet we all tend to live in peace (my only complaints are noise and dropping litter and any breach of laws and rules - if we can get our newcomers on side on that we will live in peace and harmony with them).
To own a big house with expensive cars is harder then to live in a shack, you have to be responsible to pay them and must be able to take stress 24/7. So if you think its all nice and roses to be rich, its not just about the money its the stress to keep making money
yes god bless them,for kindness. people must change thier lives .not the likes of lamola who know think he can be the president of anc and the country .thus corruption. his stomuch is now big and think for him self not like before he was adeputy of malema being a president of the youth,now he sings other tune ,dont care about of those who made him what he is today .cellout
I knew of people in the USA living in shacks like that... they were white also. They however did not have a choice. And in progressive-run big cities, there are many thousands of people of all races that would love to have a home like that.
to judge a man you must first walk a mile in his shoes.. in this case it is a month, this is a great spirit of ubuntu..racism just took one of its last breaths.. long live the Rainbow Nation.
So here is a family just trying to make themselves aware of how low income earners live to have an understanding, But there are black people here that still have an issue.
We should hav been allowed to mix with each other a long time ago..live side by side..go to school together etc..if this had happened back in the 1960s we would now b a truelly rainbow nation..never mind GOD is incontrol☺
This is beautiful and for all the mad black people please don't. Humble and good people they are, I truly believe that everyone should be judge by character.
kids are so innocent. They are just happy to be outside playing. These parents are raising them well, to see humans not colour. They will probably go back home knowing how to speak Sepitori.
Ok, so obviously they're never gonna know all the effects of living in poverty, like lack of healthcare, dental care, all the long term effects, but....at least they aren't sitting on their asses behind a computer in there cozy homes sippin on Starbucks and just typing how appalled they are that someone would do this in order to try to understand poverty!!! Bunch of effin haters, and ppl thinking they're soo much better than the next!!! At least these ppl are doing SOMETHING!!!
The sad reality is that you couldn't reverse the roles. Nobody bothered this family. A wealthy black man better stay as far away as possible from poor white if he values his life.
May GOD bless them.I am a BLACK man but I love thse white people because they do the same thing Jesus did 2000 yrs ago.Jesus is God but he became man.He was in heaven but came to earth to die for people.
Ohhw God u so wonderful I love this family I really really really love them I wish God can come personally this his wonderful miracles 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 may God bless you 🙏
I feel like crying 😭 when I spend my whole salary to top up my rental in a flat that seems like I,m the only person who is being overcharged 😭 so this shack is the best life a poor person like me 😭😭😭 I feel like I,m working for that flat ......
It would be interesting to find out if they actually made it for the full month and how that has changed them. Truly a humbling experience that would benefit all white SA's.
Kids are taught racisim, i mean look at these beautiful kids playing together and not even worried about nothing. Big ups to this family.

"We dont want them to be unaware of how other people live"
I LOVE THAT
They are too young to understand that, they should take them their again from ages 10 upwards
I'm hoping they give the house keeper a raise after seeing how she lives.
R 15000/ MONTH
COMPANY CAR
MEDICAL AID
14th cheque
2 months paid holiday per year
hourglas39 I lived in old caravan for 6 years with no toilet or water. I couldn't get a raise because I don't have a job
I dont think thats what its about. No amount of money can satisfy anyone. No one feels paid enough
Roshan Manilal dude that’s way too much for a domestic worker like maybe 6000 but not 15000 and everything else
With you hourglass. With you.

Shack is better than sleeping under the bridge with your kids and thes nothing wrong to stay in a shack
Our ancestors in the Southern U.S. lived in shacks. My family did.
Pamela Pam I pray that you move to a shack soon.
Or an house
True

I so pleased to see the comment section is positive✨i was more afraid of the comment section being negative.
Waze wamuhle🥺
This will teach your kids a great deal of understanding human species rather than human race , well done ✅ for teaching them the best of both worlds .
They have a heart of gold, they give you in the palm of the hand, not the other way around. I hope this reaches out many out there as we will be celebrating June 16 and things will never be the same again.

Give them two thumbs up for trying to understand and be empathetic.
And then they say there are no good news to report in SA.
Bring us more good news this is brilliant and it should be 1 on Tranding

This is so amazing forward thinking great start to empathy.well done guys
Cool May the good lord add more years to your life stay blessed en take care

Shouldn't the title be "Priviledged" family moves into shack, not "White" family.. Not all White families are well off.. It's about money, not race..
Thank. You 🗣️
So what was the out come ?
Where are they now
Are these news?
Love is the greatest. May the Lord richly bless you. You are one in a million. Many will rather donate money and not themselves.
I really love their attitude!
