“How the hell do you discover some shit that wasn’t even missing to begin with” that send tears to my eyes, you could hear her emotion!
Damn!!! 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤💵💵💵💵that's real!!!
Actually, it kind of was. The Americas had been isolated from the rest of the world for thousands of years
Slavery was wrong but I don’t need to hear it made into a racist attack on white people when a huge number of the slaves that were brought over were sold by Black people in Africa.
@Crimson Journer Go study history friend...´´Native American were black´´.
@Crimson Journer Go study brother, they were black.From a specific African tribe.
And about the slaves...Yes (I agree with you) there were black(traitors) people that sold their brothers to Muslims and then to Europeans...But let me correct you, not tribes, a group of people.
And...About the Natives Americans. I ask you, did their slaves were Caucasian? They had enslaved themselves and not other ethnicities.
"It's waving the confederate flag like you never lost the war while telling us to get over slavery."
Get over slavery
@John Bold i used to live in a flat above a guy who had a big Confederate flag displayed proudly in his bedroom window to be seen from the street. It happens even if you haven't seen it
nothing wrong with the confederate flag
@John Bold Given the associations with the flag I don't think it's unreasonable to take it as telling the whole town to get over slavery. He was definitely a bigot, I befriended him at a group guitar lesson thing, added him to Facebook, and it was full of racist stuff. Granted he's the only person I've personally known to wave that flag, but my point isn't the frequency, it's that it happens, so the statement of the poem is relevant.
It's like shutting the fuck up and not blaming everyone else for your short comings and inferiority complex.
......and by the way, she’s not showing anger, she’s exuding passion
Yessssssss
Caleb Loutzenhiser what’s false ?
And also anger. There’s nothing wrong with justified anger, don’t demonize it.
Caleb Loutzenhiser as terrible as it is that police brutality is a thing, i think what you have to consider is that when those police officers wrongfully killed those white people it wasn’t because they were white. meanwhile, with the black people who were killed it was most likely due to race. and about the job application, there is a study that shows that if you have an “african” or “african-american” name, there is a chance that you won’t be accepted for the job compared to someone who has a “white” name.
For the first claim, I am going to counter when you said "there is no evidence that those black people were killed by their skin colour" with the shooting of Trayvon Martin. I believe that it was entirely race-driven and that there are cases where it is due to race. As much as I want to believe as well that police brutality to black people is not race-driven, our society proves that sometimes it purely is.
Secondly, about job applications, I suggest you read this study and if not, read the abstract of it: www.nber.org/papers/w9873
This explains what she was referencing in the poem and what I was talking about. Even if we live in a western society that is prominently white, this does not excuse big co-operations such as Amazon and CoverGirl to have little to no black people in their executive leaders. Plus, beauty sometimes does not have a factor. I have seen beautiful BAMEs who are gorgeous trying to work at Brandy Melville and get rejected multiple times. As well as that, a majority of the people in our society is average looking.
Despite what I just said though, I do believe that prettier people do get an advantage when it comes down to job applications because of the European beauty standards. The European beauty standards cater to the few people, who are normally white, who have features that the general public don't have. It is highly unfair for white people who don't fit them but it is extremely degrading to the BAMEs who don't have those features.
I am not going to talk too much about beauty since that is not what we are talking about but I would like to hear your opinion on the study.
Shorty said “the only time thousands of white ppl are cheering for a black kid is in a stadium” shit really hit man
And yet these kids know that and still wanna run jump and Dunk a ball for them
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
@@sincerenyc81 The basketball players whether they be Black, White or somewhere in between run, jump and dunk the ball for their team, for their college and for the money when they are professionals. Get real!
Except it's bullshit. What about music arenas? What other areas do thousands of white people cheer white kids besides sports and entertainment - two areas dominated by black folx.
But it not true... What about Michelle Obama... What about president Obama... What about Neil D. Tyson... What about... Oh what does it matter... "Some" people don't want to talk facts or history just emotional distraction to incite... I sure hope the next generation realizes that skin color isn't the issue... It is perspective... Get out and get yours...
This poem should be taught in African schools ❤❤❤ Dissected, studied and learned! Beautiful piece of word craft

And they say white ppl r the racist petty ones lmfao
It's a special privelage I guess to complain about shit that didnt affect u and at the same time completely ignore all the horrible evils ur own race did to each other in the same historical time frames lmao ever heard of the children soldiers in Africa? Where they would go to other villages and rape and kidnap the children amd brainwash them and make them kill their own villages. Kids shooting their own parents and neighbors... how about how africans used to enslave and trade other Africans. I could go on but u probly dnt care either way. Racist dnt really care about the truth. And the truth is we r all the same. We all bleed red. The sooner ppl accept this the sooner we can move past ignorant ass shit and comments like urs.
Collin McCurdy, I get what you're saying but America also fought itself at one point and had kids working in mines... Yes they have children soldiers but they are starting to stop that... Slowly but it's happening... Yes there's problems there but there are still problem in America too with racism
Collin McCurdy what? y’all are though.
“ European history being taught as a major by only learning about my people 28 days like I’m not black ever fuckin second” I felt this😥💕
I'm in Africa and this was the same. I think it was the main reason I did not enjoy History in school
@@nthabix well, I will help you, go to Anthony T Browder, Dr. Sheik Anta Diop, Dr. Ben and Ivan Van Sertima
if the ancient/medieval africans bothered to write anything down then maybe we would know more about them
@@low_vibration
go read about the country of SUDAN Northeast AFRICA there writings and artistry. There are 100's more pyramids in Sudan , than Egypt, which is AFRICA as well.the ANCIENT Egyptians ( AFRICANS) left many writings as hieroglyphics. the many ANCIENT AFRICAN artifacts robbed and looted by the BRITISH sits in their Museums , tell the story as well.The AFRICAN is the first and ORIGINAL HUMAN.theone thing that was said about the CONTINENT of AFRICA in my history class was that it is the CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION, but it was not elaborated on.the Colonizers have MUCH information on ANCIENT AFRICA, but due to the FALSE concept of white supremacy it was not made WIDELY available, probably the resaon for your ignorant comment. information is more readily available now all you have to do is lookit up.if YOU REALLY, want to know.
@@donaldsimms2625 that doesn't change the fact that none of those great builders never invented a writing system. We have to rely on arab scholars
My Native American self just nodded , snapped, and clapped in appreciation and solidarity for the vast majority of this. Thank you.
@Brian Oconnell What a staggeringly ignorant thing to say, hater. Mind your own.
Why? She wasn't representing your Native American racial category. The African diaspora has never stood is solidarity with Eurasians. Natives Americans enslaved black people, as well.
@@deamorebeaute2412It's literally their country, not yours.
“How the hell to you discover some shit that wasn’t missing in the first place”👏👏👏👏
@Brian Oconnell Just because the Europeans did not know about it doesn’t mean no one did. Clearly the Native Americans who were there for centuries before Columbus knew about it so Columbus did not in fact discover America
@@tylerjones5406 yes he discovered it for everybody else. See, africa, europe and asia are all connected and people from these continents knew about each other for thousands of years. Nobody knew that there were 2 fukin continents on the other side of the ocean. And yes im sure people have been to the americas before columbus, like the vikings for example. But he and his crew were the ones that literally connected the world. Thats why people say he found it, because he made the connection.
@@mrazimusheta1899So, all he did was spread the message about America. So he still wasn't the one who discovered it.
@@user-qg4sf4ei7j Considering that people(europe,africa,asia) didnt know it was there, in their perspective he discovered it. And the connection of people separated for 10 000 years happened because of him.
However the first european to sail to the Americas was Leif Erikson.
I just translated this video to Korean!
Everyone needs to know!!!
@Brian Oconnell 🤣
where can I find that
You've Columbus'ed our tradition 😭😭😭
Go read a book, blacks had no traditions.

I know some people are mad asf watching this
Mad? No, I find her stupidity and hatred pathetic. I actually feel quite bad for her
Clearly they are pissed off lol
I'm here for the laughs! She's the joke
The proof is in the comments. LMAO
You big mad or little mad? XD
I love how people are saying if she’s so upset she can just leave. As a black person if I wanted to just leave, please tell me to where shall I return. Am I just supposed to show up to the border of any African country and walk in having NO idea if this is where my family is from? That’s a stupid comeback line, please stop saying it ✋🏾.
JD Anders fuck off stupid
My God you are dumb... Go back to Africa of course. If you're black trust me you're from there
All of you DO realize that Africa is a continent made up of numerous countries correct? What country shall we return to? Or do we just walk up on a big ass continent and say I’m from somewhere around here give me someplace to stay? If that’s your logic then also realize that Mexico is a part of the continent of North America meaning that using y’all pea brains it’s synonymous with America and so is Canada. Y’all are dumb, ignorant and rude as hell
Easter Worshipper And I don’t care WHAT was created for descendants of slaves, if my ancestors are not from there why would that be a place I return to? Make it make sense
Easter Worshipper This proves my argument as valid because you’re talking nonsense. Thanks have a great day! 😘
Gave me goosebumps. Beautifully written, even more beautifully spoken, Kyla Jenée Lacy👏👏
Yeah, black people are victims because we have the privilege to live in the best country in the world, have the technology we do now and access to it. You're right... You should have stayed in Africa.
@@starlightnin1748 we were TAKEN from Africa dumbass. And she never said were were fucking victims, she said we don't have the same innate privileges. Listen and comprehend.
@Cleverly relatable Username uhuh, okay. So can you tell me about any other place in the world that is better than America? Where our free speech is protected by the first amendment and our right to bear arms is protected by the second AND taxes are low? If you do, please feel free to let me know.
@@starlightnin1748 I imagine your initial comment of "you should have stayed in Africa" was directed to me.
I'm not black. You seem like a very bitter person; i.e: pointless to discuss matters of depth with.
You lack crucial understanding of life as well as common sense. I can certainly see what's wrong with you without even looking at you. 🙆
@@seaofflowers. first the initial comment was not for you I replied to you on accident I'm sorry if you don't appreciate facts over feelings and I never told you to stay in Africa. Don't twist my words. I never insulted you or try to attack you. I backed up my statements with facts and yet you are the one who seems bitter enough to attack my character like that. I don't have anything against you but I would advise that you should do your research first before you comment.
oh my god...I'm speechless and Im gonna have chills running through my body for days. I haven't been this moved in a long time. I am Albanian American and while my country was a repeated target for genocide throughout history, the fact remains that by the very virtue of the fact that I am white in America, I am guilty of participating in white privilege. All I can say is that I am deeply ,deeply empathetic and ashamed of being a part of that privilege. There is nothing I can do about my skin color but God strike me down dead if I am not always aware. My life is my own and I will live with deep respect for all people. What a beautiful wake up call Kyla....
“it is bombs over baghdad but not over boston” .
To all the snowflakes upset about the raw truth being spoken.. I believe your proving her point.
The snow flakes are those who actually believe the crap she is speaking, no such thing as white privilege. no truth is being spoken her only opinion..
@@ABGAN100 It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that some ppl are so hopelessly brainwashed that they reject all logic and reason. I have Pres Dump to thank for that. And it helped me understand ppl like you. I appreciate your comment.
@@teklacommissiong9098 you are correct some people are hopelessly brainwashed and do reject all logic and reason. that's if they even understand what logic and reason are? any one with a modicum of intelligence could do a little research and discover beyond a doubt that she has failed spectacular to present a logical and reasoned premise, i.e argument. Their exist no empirical evidence to suggest that white privilege exists.
No point trying to teach low IQ
Tekla Commissiong what is her point? white peope genocide? foh
Very powerful speech! Love this lady. And I'm tired of hearing "you look good for a black person" I've heard that phrase and it's never settled. Anyone who's against anything this woman said, you're part of the problem.
I’m don’t agree with a lot of it. I’m I apart of the problem. Tell me what the problem is. I’m assuming you mean how racist white people are. I try to love all people and see the best in all cultures. But if I don’t agree with you and your ideologies would that make me a mean white man.
You should know about ur f÷÷÷ own business not ours ŵhy are you worried about what we say do ? Mind your business

Neither do I?
Is that because you didn't know your father?

1:41 “THIS ISNT EVEN YOUR NATION” my absolute favorite quote❣️
Who founded America then?
@@coreymarshall6014 America was always always here idiot native Americans were actually here first its not a white nation they took over like own shit if the shit they do to us happened to them they couldn't handle that shit i promise you
@@zaqueenzhane7744 _"America was always always here idiot"_
No it wasn't. America was founded after European settlers arrived. It wasn't a country when the settlers arrived.
_"native Americans were actually here first"_
Yeah, and they just offed some group before them. What was their name, the Clovis people? I'd have to look it up. So at best the "natives" were just as guilty as the Europeans were. Not to mention the fact that these loosely affiliated tribes were often warring with and slaughtering each other. Again, at best they're just as bad as the Europeans were.
_"its not a white nation"_
It is predominantly white though.
_"they took over like own shit"_
That doesn't make sense.
_"if the shit they do to us happened to them they couldn't handle that shit i promise you
"_
What did I do to you? You seem really anti-white and dare I say, "prejudiced'? I'm getting hard racism vibes out of you Zhane. Yes, I'm positing YOU'RE ACTUALLY THE RACIST HERE, not white people. The problem is with you.
@@Illumirage no I'm not racist America dosent belong to white people I dont expect someone who isn't black to understand
Not gonna waist my breath on your ignorance have a nice day
“We learned your French, we learned your English, we learned your Spanish, we learned your Dutch, your Portuguese, your German, you learned OUR nothing.., you called.. us dumb.. That’s white privilege.” That is so powerful and too true.
Except she literally called SPANISH a white language.
THIS IS NEITHER POWERFUL OR TRUE. English is the language spoken in America since the Pilgrims settled here. The immigrants did not learn our French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese nor German you had to learn English in order to assimilate in the USA. My ancestors were from Denmark and spoke Dutch and did not enforce that the people already living here had to learn how to speak Dutch. We had to learn the language of the land so we had to learn ENGLISH.

@🏳️🌈⃠ Certified Threat to Your Democracy I pray that God watches over you. Right now you seem to be consumed by hatred and ignorance, and I know that from reading one comment. Turn to your Heavenly Father. Allow him to transform you into a loving and kind individual, let him baptize you into the wisdom of Christ. I have nothing but love for you.
I make you uncomfortable, try a cramped slave ship - BARS!!!!!!!
Ain’t that the TRUTH..she’s brilliant
F*ck, I'm so sorry you had to be transported across the ocean in a slaveship. It must have been awful for you.
@Brian Oconnell imagine having a family history filled with people who actively helped Black people, then you just totally drop the ball and stop fighting for them and instead get pissy that Black people aren't kissing your ass. We're not done fighting for equity, reparations, equality, justice, and love. Even if we were somehow done and racism was all gone, Black people don't owe us white people a damn thing. Quit whining and start helping. Edit to add: I saw more of your comments on this video and I just have to say your ancestors are rolling over in their graves right now because of your racist behavior here. They fought to free the slaves, right? So in which generation did things go wrong? When did the racism start being taught? How are you going to better yourself so that you and yours will fight just as your ancestors did?
you should probably have a word with the various african empires about that
@Brian Oconnell Your logic is problematic. Nobody hates you. We hate the legacy of racism that continues to this day. You should hate that too.
I'm a white women......anytime I need to explain white privilege to my own kind I am going to refer to this poem and this strong black women. I don't think I can or ever could say this any better than Kyla Jenee Lacey.

It's also on Reddit and Facebook. It's getting shared everywhere thankfully.
Its crazy how people can be so ignorant and not open their eyes to the truth. They'd rather go off of emotion rather than facts.
i loved this..it had so much emotion to it, you could just feel it👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I'm all for educating myself, but when there were no facts provided, it simple becomes an opinion piece.
You're contradicting yourself on the emotions card
Idk what the people above me are talking about, but as a person who was aware that history was recorded, she did speak the truth.
I keep coming back to watch this ❤This deserves way more views and attention
Watching paint dry is more educational
@@abaddon4823 you are a nobody. go fuck your self
She spit all those facts and “They” took it as reverse racism!!! That’s White Privilege!!! Stand up sista💯💪🏾😎
My ? Is how can racism be reverse racism. Racism is racism. Whether a black person hates white people or a hispanic person hates asians an Asian person hates blacks or if white people hates on blacks. Racist is racist. Reverse racism makes no sense reverse means backing up or going where you came from. Therefore reverse racism would mean the opposite of racism. Which in my mind would be harmony between all races. Just a thought.
The problem with races finding harmony seems to be cultural differences, not race in this day and age. Hope the best for everyone, do your best at what you do and dont blame others for your struggles. That is the key to harmony, and self enlightenment.
You sound stupid as fuck with that statement, read a book.
"You’ve never seen the inside of a slave ship" So you have?
White privilege itself is a racist Marxist concept.
You’re all boring with the white privilege nonsense. Nobody is obsessed with race as much as you all.
This was everything. Her voice and her movements spoke what was in my heart and my soul, and I'm sure the same can be said for many other Black people who watched and listened. She did it so well, so right, she DID IT! I'm here with a resounding "Yes!" To every single word.

One of my favorite poems of all time. I hope this gets shown and analyzed in English and history classes with how beautifully composed and unabashedly truthful it is about our reality, still ringing true to this day
*I just find it funny how the negative comments are only from white people* 😂😂😂😂
thirdpowerful1 so you are saying that nothing she said in that poem is true?
I feel so bad for people like you who would rather blind themselves to the problems of this world that are caused by the oblivion to the discrimination of a race, sexual orientation, or beliefs of a person. You go off of the information or images the media projects to you and assume that racism and discrimination against my community is dead. But what the media never shows you is the destruction of the black family and the pain/uncertainty that fear has managed to plant in our culture. I'm not trying to attack you because i realize that there is truly no way you can see just how deep the fear, love and hurt scars us and that is not your fault. I just ask you stop assuming how easy or hard you think we have life here in america by what you've only been told, by others who also don't know or never will know our tears. And until you've seen more bodies that look like your self lying in the street than you can remember, for the sole reason that they happened to "Look" like a suspect, or they "Looked' threatening, when really they were only teenagers trying to get home to their mothers, then you wont ever really understand the truth that no one is willing to tell.

privilege is something you don’t see when u do have it and non privilege is something you see when u don’t have it ! ( for all the racist saying there is no white privilege and etc )
Kinda like being openly racist and no one condemns you for it? Or, how about the fact you can blame racism for every inadequacy within your community? Or the fact you can openly ignore your own problems and blame them on other races and people literally side with you? Those seem like some good privileges.
Meanwhile, white privilege has no real evidence to support it.
When she said "y'all use niggas everyday" i felt that so much
I'm crying. And angry that even though it's true, it is & will be ignored because she "sounds angry". We ALL ought to sound angry & BE angry.
She sounds indoctrinated. This is literally the universal talking point of every race baiting SJW that tries to "Educate" everyone on race, slavery, and discrimination while being racist and discriminatory toward anything white.

Speech full of truth...that make people uncorfotable with reality that's it. people Will yell at Her saying she is racist but not at all. Rewind and listen To it again and again until you get it. Those who dont underdstand do not know History and facts!
Those who say she's right don't know history or facts. Maybe look up some stats and stop blaming a whole race for your own failures because believe it or not, that's racist.
@Hans Blitzkrieg ignorant with no respect of history. Still trying To avoid reality and admitting what it is. Move out the way we dont need your hatred towards blacks
@Hans Blitzkrieg you seem very ignorant by asking that. But anyway I cannot open books read for you. Go and find answers by yourself
@Hans Blitzkrieg that's what you wish but not true at all. U make me laugh because u seem To know nothing about history but u still arguing. Stop talking about your ideology instead of History!
@@ceciliachaubo6993 You seem to addicted to fiction, try reading books based on facts.
Nothing but the truth 💯💯 💯 And I love it!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️👌
SicSemperEvelloMortemTyrannis TyrannyEnder back at you
SicSemperEvelloMortemTyrannis TyrannyEnder ikr ?
SicSemperEvelloMortemTyrannis TyrannyEnder if you spent less time reciting childish rhymes and actually giving a fuck about people you might make a bigger impact 🤷🏾♀️
Ohh girl, thank you! I'm in tears. This is so powerful, so true!
She hates you.
OMG. Your way with words is so compelling. You should come to South Africa. Too many people think that because apartheid was so long ago the new Generation must just "get over it!" And " our generation did nothing wrong".... but it's not about that is it.
does anyone have a full transcript of this?
You are amazing sis👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It’s sad that none of y’all had any intentions to actually look up and learn anything about what she said but came to defend yourself because she has caused and created a buzz. I’m waiting for anybody to tell me she’s lying because I definitely have time
She lying
Yup. She is a purveyor of world class BS.
@@jasonrivera6842 you won a ticket 🎫 to click bait😂🤣🤣
Ummm...does she know how it was on a slave ship? Lie.
@@FlappyBelly so do you think that being on a slave ship was like being on a cruise?
Somewhere I can find this with spanish subtitles? Thank you :)
We can't look at our present without looking at our past... Be it African American, Aboriginals, Africa etc... Even as I study economics the very fibre of our economy, living conditions and state of affairs all goes back to history.. Off course current conditions play a huge factor but those are informed by history. It's like psychology to get to the core of someone's issues you have to dig deep into their childhood because therein lays the root of their problem(s).
💯💯💯That's so true...
@@ParagonRex yeah..... this wasn't racist at all..... "blacks" seriously? Are we in the 50's? You're delusional. But none of what she said was true right? But I wont waste anymore time responding. I really hope that this viewpoint dies along with people's lack of empathy.
@@brianacherry776 Triggered much?
Thank you for this - she was swinging for the fence with some much grace & elegance.
This never gets old 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Watched this 3 times now. And with every rewatch it only makes more and more sense and the realness of her words, the facts she stated, just become more obvious and clear to me. Fuck people saying we have bigger problems than racism or what some call it: “identity politics“. This is as important as the climate crisis, it is as much about people fighting for their lives every day as everything else and just because (white) people have been cuddling up in their comfort zone doesn’t mean we can’t make them get out of it. Good fucking job with this text, especially with the way you presented it!!!
Period sis!!! Most people of the lighter tone don,t get it. Even i as a young biracial female understand that my privilege is come from my lighter tone.
She did that
Powerful Words my sister 💪🏿 Black people get and stay on CODE.
whewwwwwww......Love this !
Pretty much summarized America.
Exodus how is it racist?
Movado Still better than any African country. Also the best African countries were colonized and are smart enough to use western technology. You are welcome.
Movado ... This is a video debunking everything this woman said. th-cam.com/video/wj8eNqF9BSA/w-d-xo.html
@@svyneros02 You're part of the problem.
Wardog 03 lmao ok sis
This masterpiece of a poem is never not going to be relevant
u are entitled to ur opinion.simultaneously,this is amazing,no doubt
Thank you.
@Focux do you actually have an argument instead of copying and pasting shit 😂😂
Me, a white guy: you're welcome my brudda
@ohsevenone "bwack peepo baaaaaad, anne sooooo raysis." Okay.
“Throwing out a qualified applicant because their name sound to African American”...I felt that and I know people who is going through that right now💯
My god I’m so sorry this is reality
unless you name sounds Philippino or East Indian you aren't getting a job.
Barkevious Mingo got a job.
Brought me to tears because the passion she has for us should be the same we hold for ourselves
Now if she would try fact instead of fiction, but then feelings are more important than facts to SJWs
@@kavic1234But she did speak facts.
Thank you
Are the lyrics available?
So true. She really did sum a ton of racism up.
Too bad she failed to mention black rascism huh
Yeah... Her whole speech was just that RACIST
@@ParagonRexThe topic was white privilege what are you on about.
@@user-qg4sf4ei7j Shut up with your late ass. Everybody else moved on from this retards video
This... was... DEEP!!!! Drop that 🎤!!!
This was sent to me and it blew my mind away.
I had to listen to it multiple times.
So many awesome points I can't name a favorite because it was that tight!!!!
What a wonderful young woman full of passion. She nails it. AMAZING XX
20 second in and I already have to pause to process... 🤯🤯🤯
JPB boyz got to business with this one
* air horns * * gun shot * * mad air horns *
Wow, this is incredible, well done girl. You deserve so much more recognition
Can we talk about the fact that...I'm not sure who it was it might've been Button Poetry but her video of this exact poem is deleted.....does anyone know why?
This is awesome! So true!
THIS!
