Great one🗣️📢

Oh my God! What an underrated speech! Oh my God! The truth is actually bitter. When I see something like this, I am close to tears thinking how a long long way it’ll be to fight racial injustice. White silence is actually violence. It makes me feel very frustrated how humans can be so cruel, seeing the right thing to do and turning their back against it. An act of reinforcing divisions. May the Lord saves us all.

Shut up, Listen, Believe ~ a beautiful and just way to recognize our neighbors who have largely been ignored, whose voices have been silenced by the cultural norms. Love your recognition that the gift of a diverse community is for white people, if only we find a way to be open to it. It is high time for us all to recognize the value we each hold and stop the divisive and loveless commentary, instead coming together in solidarity for human values. It is, indeed, "important to do the right thing". Nice job, Dan.

No 20th century Irish woman ever said this to their Irish husband.

@Goiboi it’s disappointing that the accent has gone and now they act white yet 70 years ago they were called the white niggers of Europe and stood side by side in the struggle. This narrator even says that his grandfather opposed British rule yet the offspring of his generation took the side of the oppressor

this guys dad never said I'm proud of you did he?
