I'm not black, but I can say for sure, you've been a huge inspiration for me, and a whole generation of people who love tech. You're a big reason of why I even started making videos in the first place, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Keep being a role model 👊
Marques, you were rewarded for being the creator of the decade, and not the black creator of the decade. Your words are importants, thank for having the courage to let them out. You're inspiring.
Not going to speak for him but i believe the thing that he is saying is not whether he got the rewards as the best black creator golfer UF player its wether he got those rewards bc they were looking for someone black to give the positions and awards to as a virtue signal
@@zacharylancon1126 And you're totally right. I was referring to his words saying "instead of just being one of the best black creators, I wanted to be one of the best creators.", but regardless of the intention of the shorty awards or the sub counts, he is, without a doubt, indeed one of the best creators of this platform.
What's crazy to me is that in all my time watching you, I have never once even thought about you as a black creator. Only as a consistent high level tech reviewer/enthusiast. I believe the saying that we judge ourselves harsher than anyone else can be applied to this point. Although you may see yourself in this light when you go to events, please keep in mind that the majority of people present are not thinking in this way. Its easy to get caught up in our own self perception and lose sight of how others may actually perceive us. You deserve every bit of success in your life, and not because of your skin color, but because you are an incredible and inspiring person.
As a 16-year-old Black and Latino kid interested in tech, you are one of my biggest role models. You are not just a great Black creator, you're a great creator who happens to be Black. Keep being awesome.
@@SEBA005 I am well aware that "Latino" is an ethnicity, not a race. I too am frustrated with how the term "Latino" is often used, as it is commonly said in a way that attempts to hide or obscure the complex multicultural backgrounds of an individual. For example, let's say someone with Puerto Rican ancestry is 20% Spanish (European), 25% Indigenous Taíno, and 55% African. Let's also say that when asked what the person's race is, they simply say that they're "Puerto Rican" or "Latino". The problem with this response is that it is often said consciously or subconsciously by black Latinos to obscure their African background and to not associate themselves with the black community, due to the rampant anti-blackness within the Latino community. Another way the term Latino is negatively used is amongst white Hispanics. Many white Hispanics often claim to be separate from the white race because they are "Latino" or "Hispanic." This doesn't make sense, however, as Caucasian people can have a background that is Spanish, Irish, German, or Ukranian, and still be white, due to them being both phenotypically European and having a largely European ancestry. This sort of false delineation that certain White Hispanics make is negative because claiming not to be a part of the white community as a white individual actively ignores the benefits and privileges that they have, and further spreads the nonsensical stereotype that the Latino community is separate from that of the White, Black, Asian, or Indigenous races. To put it simply, being Latino only means that you come from or your ancestry is from a Latin American country. Your race can be Black, White, Indigenous, Asian, a mix of a few, or all of them. Because of this, anybody regardless of skin color can be Latino. But, because of the ignorance around the subject, and because the majority of America has a specific view of what a "Latino" looks like, I choose to separate "Black" and "Latino" when discussing the topic of my race.

i hope nobody has ever thought of you as their favourite black creator. i think of you as “cool guy who reviews phones and computers and gets to drive nice cars”. just a great guy and creator end of.
Yeah I agree. He's my favourite tech youtuber with Linus. I want to live in a world where people don't support or hate people for their skin. Only personalities and skills are relevant.
Can we take a moment to recognize that this dude has interviewed Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai and the late Kobe Bryant all before he turned 25. Man, you have earned your place, race or no. Respect
Didn't know he's younger than 25. I'd soon be 25, damn, I've done nothing compared to him. Looking at what MKBHD has made of himself, by himself is just wow.
I'm just gonna say it as simple as I can. Ever since I discovered your channel, I have considered you the best Tech TH-camr. Period. The quality of your content is simply amazing and it talks by itself! Congratulations for your work man, I really hope to keep watching your content for a long time.
Preach. When I was beginning to learn English, MKBHD is one of the very few channels that I watch because of his voice clarity and was very articulate in explaining. I could understand him perfectly while I struggled to understand other channels. Thank you for your videos man.
Marques, I’m a white 63 year old man living in New Zealand, who came here from South Africa in the late 1980’s. I couldn’t stand racism then, and I can’t stand it now … in fact any type of bias based on FEAR. You are such a good role model for anybody, from any country in the world, and I know that you will be making a difference way outside of the areas you are interested in. The world needs more people like you.
Dude you're THE tech guy Whenever I'm interested in a piece of tech, my first thought was not "Is there a reliable review video for this?" but instead "Is there an mkbhd video for this?".
you can't just change the impression of people who were victimized or terrorized by the acts of someone who are different and can be identified by a color different from his/hers
I can't believe I am just now seeing this video 2 years later! I have been following you for several years...quietly, but mostly because you're a true inspiration as well as a breath of fresh air. Just watching you grow and mature in appearance and knowledge has been remarkably amazing. You have reached an outstanding pinnacle in your accomplishments and I expect there is much more to come as more people become aware of you. I commend and congratulate you for the success you have achieved in spite of. Keep striving for excellence, as you have done tremendously well. Your imprint on the World speaks volumes!! 🙏🏾
white 16 year old kid here. i never looked at you as the "black tech youtuber", you have always just been the best tech youtuber and i look up to you man.
I am a 40 something man and I have to say, I have always looked up to you, you have achieved so much, you are respected around the world and most of all, you come across as a really nice caring person. I guess this will get lost in the sea of comments (rightly so to be fair) but keep on keeping on.
I'm a white dude, and Marques is the most amazing and kind youtuber in the whole of TH-cam, he respects everyone's opinions, I don't even have words on how to explain him on how much of a good person he is, I've been watching him since a long long time, he is a very kind and chill dude, keep it Marques.
I saw this video only today.. I noticed it's almost 3+ year old video.. I never saw you as a black tech reviewer.. I only look at you as an awesome tech reviewer.. 3 years old but this video still makes sense in many ways.. 30 years down the line, it'll make sense.. I'm 40 years old, from India.. you are a great tech reviewer and a TH-cam celebrity.. keep the music running marques.. you are simply awesome..
I am so frustrated to see people compare this with Hongkong. In HK cases, it is the mainlanders being beaten up and killed by the HKers on the street. How can they say this and compare with the livelihood of black communities in USA. George Floyed was tortured and killed in the same way as mainladers being killed and tortured in HK😭😭😭
How is this tough? He's literally talking about a world that doesn't exist and struggles he obviously doesn't face, because he's one of the biggest tech TH-camrs of all time.
"I wanted to be one of the best creators". You've accomplished that. I always go to you first for any kind of tech news simply because of the quality of your videos. You ARE the best creator when it comes to the tech world.
as a white boy that grew up in inner city detroit in the 80s, and have since lived most my life outside of an all-black community, my experience is that we as a nation don't spend enough time together and getting to know each other. the more you do, the more you see each other as brothers and sisters, all striving for essentially the same things. i know things can get a lot deeper than that, but for now, keep up the great work, MB!
You are a white MAN. Also, spending time together is great, but let's not neglect... putting criminals in jail either? Like the BLM looters for example...
@@DrewPAXUM no shit but guess who stops other people from getting those things? White folks. You're striving for those things without other obstacles. Everywhere black people go there's white people trying to stop them collectively from closing the racial wealth gap. You want success, we want to stop being the #1 target for hate crimes. We got two different things we are striving for buddy
Okay you said that "Instead of being one of the best black creators I wanted to be one of the best creators". You in my eyes are one of the best creators. PERIOD.
nah, he's not. There are a lot of far better creators than him just because he is famous (and rightfully worked for it) doesn't necessarily mean he's one the best. He's average at best
“Instead of just being one of the best black creators I wanted to be, one of the best creators.” I've followed you for awhile and I can confidently say you are top three of the best creators ever. A lot of people I used to be subbed to lost their touch and you haven't, you have stayed true to who you are and that is what I love about this channel so much. I always know I can trust what you say. To me, you will never be "one of the best black creators" because you're not. You are one of the best creators. Looking forward to your next video, keep up the great work.
You’ve always struck me as a very articulate and accomplished individual, measured and level-heard too. Your very fair, wise and beautiful words here just make that more and more apparent and real. Thanks very much for taking the time to speak to us in this way. And sorry it took me so long to come across this particular video of yours!
Hey Marques, I'm from India, and I love watching your content. It's funny, I never thought of you as a "Black" Content Creator, until you actually mentioned it in this video. Well obviously I noticed the colour of your skin when I first started watching your videos, but it wasn't something I actively thought about, it wasn't something that struck me as odd or surprised me in any way, it didn't matter to me at all. Your content always - always came first. And that is how I feel any content on the internet should be viewed and consumed. Separate the Art from the Artist. Separate the Content from the Creator('s race, skin colour, religion, sexual orientation). Loads of love from me and everyone I know, who support you and enjoy your videos. My heart goes out to all brothers and sisters currently struggling in America. May you heal soon!
Watching this video is honestly the first time I've ever thought about the colour of your skin. I have only ever seen you as an incredible creator and been in awe of your ability to do the things you're passionate about to such a high level with zero ego. In other words exactly the sort of role model people of all ages, skin colours and genders need. You are moving the needle in the best possible way and are a true inspiration.
So you are so evolved that you didn't even notice the color of his skin. I'm wondering, do you not note a person's height? Weight? Gender? There is absolutely nothing wrong with noticing the color of one's skin. The problem, of course, is not in noticing the superficial attributes of a person; it's in making prejudicial assessments based on those attributes. But maybe that is what you meant. I only point this out because I have heard very racist people attempt to demonstrate, in the chosen crowd, that they are so colorblind, they didn't notice a person's skin color. When talking about a person, they may say something, "Oh he's black? I didn't notice the whole time." Nine times out of 10, this is a racist posing.
@@boxsterman77 I live in the Caribbean and very few people here actually see a person's skin color as a significant feature, so most of the time, people don't even notice whether a person is black or white. In fact, many people here get very surprised when they see how Americans see so obsessed with race
@@boxsterman77I’m sure you didn’t mean anything bad here sir. But I don’t know why that reply sounded a bit rude. May be it’s just me. Have a great day.
You people need to stop obsessing over appearances. You're really no different from those fake reality show women on The "Real" Housewives and The Bachelor. Only insecure people do that. None of these social issues hit town with me because I never saw the world in those terms as a kid, and I'm not changing my viewpoints. I'm doing my thing, not worrying about how I look, I'll go to the store right now in some raggity pajamas and get what I'm out to get. Alpha power moves
@@visualsbylokifu Nah because all of you self-proclaimed "social justice warriors" are obsessed with how people look and everything. It's just WEIRD. You probably go outside and are so self-conscious and lacking in confidence.
We all came to his channel for tech content in the first place after all, I don’t see how color and race is still relevant in 2020, but I guess people just have to care
Thank you for your bravery and for refusing to look away. Many people fear losing subscribers or money or brand deals or whatever else it may be, so they say nothing. Kudos to you for loving yourself and your community enough to take a stand. You will continue to grow and thrive because of the way you are.
Hey Marques, We never thought of you as the best black tech reviewer, we think that you are one of THE BEST tech reviewers if not the best. I believe I speak for everyone when I say this.
I never saw him as a “black” creator, I saw him as the matte black creator. That sounded better in my head Edit: to anyone who didn’t get it, it’s because he constantly talks about matte black and that he wants all his devices to be matte black.
Diamond HD And that’s where you should have kept it. But it’s all good bc Matte Black, White, Green, or Blue! Marques Brown is one intelligent, respectable, Tech-Savvy intelligent young man! He brings a large vast variety of tech material to the table. I’m really proud of you Marques for taking the time to express your feelings and experiences of being a black man!
You've always been my best tech creator Marques! Never thought about your skin color, religion, accent, race. I've always seen you as a human that creates the best quality videos possible. You're the best Marques! Never stop providing great videos.
I’m not saying that what you said is wrong, but I think there needs to be a shift in this whole situation. People tend to negate color and say “We’re all people, we’re all the same on the inside.” True, but this word is colorful. We don’t see it black and white, we see it in color. And the color in nature, in man-made things, and the color of our skin, is something beautiful. I think the mindset we should take isn’t “skin color doesn’t define you,” I think it should be “look at your achievements and accomplishments, and look at you, including your skin; it’s beautiful.”
Hey Marques! To me you’re the best tech reviewer ever, I first watched your videos about Nothing phones and the way you explain every single detail about each specs, it has helped made a decision which phone I should be getting based on my needs, so thank you. I have never thought of you as a black TH-camr. Your skin has nothing to do with how you treat people, you are so so respectful whenever you do an interview with celebrities, no arrogant tone whatsoever in any of your vids. I also like watching your gestures while you are speaking. 🙂
Dude, you’ve always been one of my favorite creators on TH-cam for years. I never buy a tech product without checking to see if you’ve reviewed it first. Standing up and speaking out is huge and just add to the greatness of the person behind the camera. Thanks taking a stand for what is right!
Same! Every tech purchase I've bought in the last 5+ years, I've searched for Marques' review first. He knows his stuff and I really appreciate his truthful good and bad opinions about the products. Thank you Marques for your video about your personal thoughts and experiences with racism. I will continue to learn how to be anti-racist, speak up, and listen.
I never understood how anybody can look at a human being and only see the color of their skin, or hair, or any part of their looks. This is something that is so deeply alien to me, it is unfathomable how racism is so prevalent of any level of the society. I’m with you, and I hope nowadays you feel much more free.
Marques, it ain't your skin colour that defines you, its your Soul, your Heart, your Work and Commitment that Defines You. Love Your Work & Dedication.
I'm a white guy from an ordinary background & my wife is Black. I married her because she is beautiful, nice & well educated. Never given a cr@p about colour. You're the best tech reviewer on YT.
Marques. We' ve always looked up to you for "tech". We will continue to do so. Today, in addition, I thank you reminding us to be something, which our kids & younger selves could look up to. This should be a life goal and it seems is often diluted or forgotten in today's instant gratification world of dash charge & higher Hz. Getting a huge number of likes seems to have gotten more important than inspiring our children and future generations.
Never thought of you as a black creator. Whenever a new tech comes up, I always and always will come to you. The only thing black i ever thought of you is your obsession for matte black.
Hey Marques, seeing this now 3 years later! Your openness and directness here is inspiring, thank you for making this video, it's like "of course" but still it takes courage not all of us have. I have watched your videos on and off for years, and what struck me was your intelligence, excellent judgement on tech issues (what's good, what's important), your cheerfulness and gentle sense of humor, the thoughtful production and great organisation of your videos, and all the useful information I have gleaned. If I need to know the latest on a product I search in general but also look to see if you have done a review as I know I can trust it. The color of you skin is just there, as in "oh that's interesting, wonder what his story is- with that way he has, must have great parents! " Anyway that's from an older white guy, very concious of the polar opposite: of often benefitting from white male privilege (like with encounters at a border or with the police). I have lived in lots of different countries however and one thing I have found to be true everywhere: if I treat someone with respect, if I can genuinely find that in my heart, as my brother or sister, there is an excellent chance they will respond to me in a very positive way. Zen Buddhists say we are all Buddha, we are all already enlightened, which just means we are just ourselves: just we haven't realized it yet! (and once we do, then we keep on forgetting it). But that insight is everywhere: in our toothbrush, in our tiredness, in our impatience, in our joy and fear and laughter. And in our favorite (or least favorite) tech! For me I just put a new battery in my Mac so I am in a good mood!!!
This is something I've seen others commenting, and I don't want you to believe it's out of pity, but I've always thought of you as some of the best tech content creators, never did it cross my mind the thought of you one of "the best black tech content creators" Just wanted to make sure you knew that
I was genuinely confused when I read the title. Here's why: I've been following and watching your channel for years now, and I've frequently found myself looking to your channel (as well as other popular tech TH-cam channels) for tech advise and reviews. I've always known MKBHD as a channel that I can trust to give their honest opinion on a tech product, and I've hardly been disappointed. I've always visited your channel simply because you were a great tech TH-camr to me. That's why I was confused at the title. I've never looked at you as a "black tech TH-camr". To me, you were always a "tech TH-camr". Great personality, great content, great advise. Skin color has never been a factor in my choice of online video consumption, and it will never be. I hope that you will continue doing what you do, and that racial stigma will soon be a thing of the past. I hope that nobody has to live their lives having that "bugging feeling" whenever they're walking the streets or driving home at night. I hope that what happened recently has been a wake-up call to many people, as well as an educational event. Till next time, stay safe.
5:42 I just wanted to say this out loud and a lot of your followers will agree with this too. We never saw you as the best "black" creator we see as the best creator. PERIOD.
@@alexts94 A bright youtuber who creates quality content. You nailed it. Does mentionning his skin color really adds anything here? I don't think it should. It shouldn't alter our perception of his content / his skills.
@@carlos9402 The entire video was about him reflecting on his skin color. Obviously it doesn't and shouldn't alter our perception of his abilities, that's not the point I'm making.
Being black and watching you over the years I've wondered what your experiences were like in those areas. I have a lot of respect for what you do, what you're standing for today and I admire your accomplishments.
Agreed. As someone out the USA I don't care about race. He's just a good tech TH-camrs. He's not more or less because of his race in my mind. I just don't care. I hope the USA can get pass this race issue
Jeffrey 773 Naturally nobody thinks like this. Most people who are racist are ‘taught’ to be racist. When I was a kid I never thought a black kid was inferior or superior, I look at their actions not their skin colour. Only when I grew up I see usually teenagers and adults that develop the racist mindset, naturally we are not racist when we are born, we are taught literally everything we know about our world through our consciousness.
Im not saying that MKHB is a bad guy, but you gotta remember that alot of these TH-cam guys are basically actors. Some can be totally differenf in a video than in real life. Who knows how many takes it took for some TH-camr to say or edit the script for their vid to make it as entertaining and positive as possible.
I have been watching this channel since 2010 and i have never seen you as a black tech youtuber but the best Tech youtuber because the content is interesting to watch, the effort you put into it and the way you deliver it. I will always be a fan.
Thats facts tho like ive never actually even cared about the dude's skin color I kinda just don't care like literally have never noticed that u were black I just saw you as the best tech yt channel
As someone who has been watching this channel for a while too, I agree with you. And I hope Marques knows and I’m sure everyone on this channel agrees with me that he is not “the best black tech youtuber”, BUT “the best tech youtuber” period.
I am a 56 year old Black Male, former Silicon Valley techie, with three sons that are college graduates, I certainly understand some of your dilemmas. You always display and handle yourself with dignity, always have current knowledge of technical subject matters, and because you show a no nonsense approach to your business, you inspire me. Being the best always bring detractors. Thanks for showing what loving your occupation can do. Stay blessed!!!
I’m 23 I’ve been watching your videos every week since I was in middle school. And when you said for the 15 year old me... you nearly made me cry. You have always been inspiration to me. And I respect you so much for using your platform to speak your mind!
It’s crazy how I’ve watched you for years and never really thought about you being a different race, of course I can see you are black, but it never hit me that some people care about stuff like that. It’s dumb, it’s petty and it’s beyond comprehension (I was going to say it is childish but even kids know better). I wish you the very best, I will continue to watch your videos and do plan to make a donation to one of the organizations you are linking (not really sure which one yet). Thanks for being an inspiration to a 29 year old, just cause you’re younger doesn’t mean I don’t look up to you.
it’s crazy because you’re not even just “one of the best POC tech reviewer channels” on youtube. you’re literally the TOP. in general. and that means a lot. you’ve sorta normalized someone who’s not white to be one of the top tech content creators, and it shows in how people never mention you being black but rather just that you’re one of the most popular channels. That’s a huge huge achievement. It’s about damn time that content creators and talent are recognized for just being the best, not the “best black” or best poc. You, Dave, and Justine are the only 3 tech product review channels I really watch. Justine is white but she’s a woman, and as a woman I just love watching her but she’s amazing in general. Dave is Asian (Korean I think?) and as a fellow Asian American, I also love watching Dave but also he’s just one of the best! y’all are all pioneers and I hope you know that. Because most people aren’t pointing out that you’re black, dave’s asian, and justine is a woman. Y’all are just simply the best tech channels on youtube.
Yeah I saw the video title and was like "Oh yeah". I've been watching since the m50x review and honestly don't think I've ever consciously thought about it.
And this is part of the problem too. You minimise if not ignore all the hardships and navigating he had to go through and everything he talks about here. If you don't see (his) color. From now on, I hope you do see color, and all the struggles that come with it.
Very enjoyable video. I am an 80 year old white male who grew up in the segregated South. When I was a small boy my father introduced me to a friend of his on the Main Street of a small Southern town. Daddy said it was his boyhood friend. I shook the hand of the old black man who had tipped his hat and called my father ""Cap'n". Walking away I throughly examined my hand. My friend Freddie had said that touching a person of color would turn my hand black. I have come a long way since then and believe we as Americans have. TodayI have a great granddaughter who is black. But what you are taught as a child and the culture that shaped you as a child cannot be changed by the flip of some kind of mental switch. It takes time and desire to change and prayer.
Anyone can produce content. Now where does this video fall on the originality scale? Probably a 1/10 I haven't watched it, but he's just following the crowd and making a video about a topic that the media and SJWs are talking about. Go discover an ancient reptilian species or something, make something original, there's thousands of these videos online. I'm unimpressed, you're only gassing him up because he's "well-known".
Love this so much. As a black male myself I’ve followed you since I was 12 going on 20 in a few days,for the record I’m even doing computer science and you’ve undeniably influenced that. Keep being the inspiration you’ve always been.
Wow same I’m a 20 year old black Computer Science major too and I found MKBHD when I was young too. I hope he realizes that his impact is huge and that he inspires a lot of people to be themselves no matter race. He is definitely the goat of TH-cam tech and revolutionized this space and black TH-cam creators
Well - 5:48 In my opinion you achieved that. I never really thought of you as a black person - just a person. Not a black creator - you are just one of the best creators out there. So you achieved that. Congrats! There should be more like you. Thank you for your content, for your honesty. To be completely honest, you were someone I looked up to already when I was 17. Being the same age as you I think that is pretty impressive. So - you achieved. You did it! And you are still a role model for me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. The amount of melanin should not decide of anything but resistance to UV. And I am kind of jealous of that. So again, you did it. You are one of the best creators. Period! Thank you so much!
Same Valentin, same.. He's always been so inspiring and has some of the best content on this platform.. Dein Tech Content braucht sich aber auch nicht zu verstecken Herr Möller :) Grüße aus Braunschweig ✌️
Yeah, and it's not just that. I admire his use in some of his rethorical methods and the talent. Some Stuff. Also the Integritiy, like to not shill VPNs when supposed to know better as a techie.
100% agreed, racial identity politics is a very dangerous and divisive mindset, we are all people, and for those of us in this country we are all Americans and we should stand together against racism and injustice vs be divided by race and skin color. Your mind and heart are what matter most, not the color of your skin
I always go back to the Morgan Freeman mentality: I don’t see you as “that black creator Marques,” I see you as “Marques Brownlee.” I think most of your audience would agree with this idea. Of course it’s not like we don’t see your skin color, but we see your humanity and personality first and don’t really think of your race as a factor in your personality. Race is not really a consideration in our choice to watch you and to enjoy your content. You are a human being with great insight and charm in what you do, and we’re always going to see you as that rather than seeing you as a color with a personality underneath it.
@@fiftyshadesofurban Talk about the left? I suppose you think Trump and all his race baiting is on the left? or the left constantly harping about discrimination made officer chauvin squeeze the life out of George Floyd? When all the racist die off, then the world will be a better place.
@@fiftyshadesofurban something is wrong when you feel the need to befriend a officer so he doesn't harass you. It's like befriending the local bully so he doesn't bully you.
I’m watching this a little late. I have genuinely NEVER thought of you as a “black Creator” or TH-camr or whatever you want to call it. You’re just a guy who I really enjoy watching and getting your input and opinions on new tech!
I've never thought of you as my favorite black tech TH-camr, you were just my favorite tech TH-camr Marques, I don't know what's happening on your end, but here there is no problem with the color of a person's skin
Of course you mean well, but this is a bit of a generalization. Just because you haven’t felt or seen social prejudice, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

MrMobile [Michael Fisher] I 200% agree with you Mr. mobile To me color and raise does not matter people are people it’s a shame that people don’t understand that stuff
I appreciate your comment as you are one one of the three channels I subscribe to. I also really enjoy that this tech community follow on TH-cam is almost like a family
This young man is so very mature, intelligent, sensitive, and talented. He is responsible, accountable, reliable and respectful. He is indeed a multi-talented GENIUS. Its a great honor to have been on the planet while he has been growing and evolving. I probably dont have very much time left here but i can tell you, this young man makes planet earth a more tolerable and indeed a more beautiful place to be. God bless you young man! 👊🏽
This is so weird Every one knows how talented and how good he is as a tech TH-camr You can clearly see how intelligent and kind he is So why should Marques, a TH-camr who entertains and teaches people all around the world no matter from where, which skin colour, which sexual orientation and wich religious orientation they have, be judged only by his colour? No one is the same. That’s why we can learn so much from each other. For me every one is a brother and sister, when they’re goal is it to make people happy and share their knowledge and culture with the world. Stay strong and ambitious ✌️✌🏻✌🏼✌🏽✌🏾✌🏿
I’m glad my parents taught me this: you’re defined by your character, not your colour. That being said, I subscribed way back because you’re an inspiring, genuine guy... you could be green for all I care! 🤙🏽
I didn’t comment on this when I first watched it at its release but I feel the need to say this here and now. Irregardless of your race, you have ALWAYS been one of the first TH-camrs to truly inspire me. You showed me that you can be cool, while being interested in tech, you can be sporty, while still being interested in tech, you have showed me time and time again that integrity is a huge virtue. I sincerely hope the best for you, Marques.
His point before it was dope too - that "you can't simply be against racism, it's something you have to fight against." And that he can't understand someone being annoyed by those who feel the need to fight against racism - that anti-racism is somehow controversial in 2020.
Dude, we are watching you videos because you are the best tech reviewer. NOT because you are the best black tech reviewer. Keep it up. As always Peace ✌🏽
I'm not black, but I can say for sure, you've been a huge inspiration for me, and a whole generation of people who love tech.
You're a big reason of why I even started making videos in the first place, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Keep being a role model 👊
👍👍
🙏🏼 Dope message man.
Now that's some inspiring words from a friend ❤️
"I'm not black but" that was UNNECESSESARY!
Mrwhosetheboss and MKB r like my fav tech yt. Im black btw.🖤🖤🖤🙃
Marques, you were rewarded for being the creator of the decade, and not the black creator of the decade.
Your words are importants, thank for having the courage to let them out. You're inspiring.
Woah nice username😀

Not going to speak for him but i believe the thing that he is saying is not whether he got the rewards as the best black creator golfer UF player its wether he got those rewards bc they were looking for someone black to give the positions and awards to as a virtue signal
@@zacharylancon1126 And you're totally right. I was referring to his words saying "instead of just being one of the best black creators, I wanted to be one of the best creators.", but regardless of the intention of the shorty awards or the sub counts, he is, without a doubt, indeed one of the best creators of this platform.
Even though your words are great
What's crazy to me is that in all my time watching you, I have never once even thought about you as a black creator. Only as a consistent high level tech reviewer/enthusiast. I believe the saying that we judge ourselves harsher than anyone else can be applied to this point. Although you may see yourself in this light when you go to events, please keep in mind that the majority of people present are not thinking in this way. Its easy to get caught up in our own self perception and lose sight of how others may actually perceive us. You deserve every bit of success in your life, and not because of your skin color, but because you are an incredible and inspiring person.
but his skin color don't reflect anything

Latino?? Hahahahahha "race" classifications in the united states are a circus
@@SEBA005 I am well aware that "Latino" is an ethnicity, not a race. I too am frustrated with how the term "Latino" is often used, as it is commonly said in a way that attempts to hide or obscure the complex multicultural backgrounds of an individual. For example, let's say someone with Puerto Rican ancestry is 20% Spanish (European), 25% Indigenous Taíno, and 55% African. Let's also say that when asked what the person's race is, they simply say that they're "Puerto Rican" or "Latino". The problem with this response is that it is often said consciously or subconsciously by black Latinos to obscure their African background and to not associate themselves with the black community, due to the rampant anti-blackness within the Latino community.
Another way the term Latino is negatively used is amongst white Hispanics. Many white Hispanics often claim to be separate from the white race because they are "Latino" or "Hispanic." This doesn't make sense, however, as Caucasian people can have a background that is Spanish, Irish, German, or Ukranian, and still be white, due to them being both phenotypically European and having a largely European ancestry. This sort of false delineation that certain White Hispanics make is negative because claiming not to be a part of the white community as a white individual actively ignores the benefits and privileges that they have, and further spreads the nonsensical stereotype that the Latino community is separate from that of the White, Black, Asian, or Indigenous races.
To put it simply, being Latino only means that you come from or your ancestry is from a Latin American country. Your race can be Black, White, Indigenous, Asian, a mix of a few, or all of them. Because of this, anybody regardless of skin color can be Latino. But, because of the ignorance around the subject, and because the majority of America has a specific view of what a "Latino" looks like, I choose to separate "Black" and "Latino" when discussing the topic of my race.

The quality of your content is simply amazing and it talks by itself!
Congratulations for your work man, I really hope to keep watching your content for a long time.

When I was beginning to learn English, MKBHD is one of the very few channels that I watch because of his voice clarity and was very articulate in explaining. I could understand him perfectly while I struggled to understand other channels. Thank you for your videos man.

hongkongerlivesmatter
You can see this is one of the hardest things for Marques to talk about than you for talking about this tough topic.
He’s having trouble talking about it because he’s uncomfortable with doing so it’s actually sad
I am so frustrated to see people compare this with Hongkong. In HK cases, it is the mainlanders being beaten up and killed by the HKers on the street. How can they say this and compare with the livelihood of black communities in USA. George Floyed was tortured and killed in the same way as mainladers being killed and tortured in HK😭😭😭
How is this tough? He's literally talking about a world that doesn't exist and struggles he obviously doesn't face, because he's one of the biggest tech TH-camrs of all time.
"I wanted to be one of the best creators". You've accomplished that. I always go to you first for any kind of tech news simply because of the quality of your videos. You ARE the best creator when it comes to the tech world.
Dronger facts

as a white boy that grew up in inner city detroit in the 80s, and have since lived most my life outside of an all-black community, my experience is that we as a nation don't spend enough time together and getting to know each other. the more you do, the more you see each other as brothers and sisters, all striving for essentially the same things. i know things can get a lot deeper than that, but for now, keep up the great work, MB!
Well said!

Hey Marques,
I'm from India, and I love watching your content.
It's funny, I never thought of you as a "Black" Content Creator, until you actually mentioned it in this video. Well obviously I noticed the colour of your skin when I first started watching your videos, but it wasn't something I actively thought about, it wasn't something that struck me as odd or surprised me in any way, it didn't matter to me at all. Your content always - always came first.
And that is how I feel any content on the internet should be viewed and consumed.
Separate the Art from the Artist.
Separate the Content from the Creator('s race, skin colour, religion, sexual orientation).
Loads of love from me and everyone I know, who support you and enjoy your videos.

That's how I've always viewed it. I find it strange someone would go out of their way to find someone to follow based on the color of their skin alone
Indeed, he is the best
Defoo!! 👏🏼🔥
Watching this video is honestly the first time I've ever thought about the colour of your skin. I have only ever seen you as an incredible creator and been in awe of your ability to do the things you're passionate about to such a high level with zero ego. In other words exactly the sort of role model people of all ages, skin colours and genders need. You are moving the needle in the best possible way and are a true inspiration.
So you are so evolved that you didn't even notice the color of his skin. I'm wondering, do you not note a person's height? Weight? Gender? There is absolutely nothing wrong with noticing the color of one's skin. The problem, of course, is not in noticing the superficial attributes of a person; it's in making prejudicial assessments based on those attributes. But maybe that is what you meant. I only point this out because I have heard very racist people attempt to demonstrate, in the chosen crowd, that they are so colorblind, they didn't notice a person's skin color. When talking about a person, they may say something, "Oh he's black? I didn't notice the whole time." Nine times out of 10, this is a racist posing.
@@boxsterman77 I live in the Caribbean and very few people here actually see a person's skin color as a significant feature, so most of the time, people don't even notice whether a person is black or white.

i hate sm ppl no I’m saying that I knew Marques was black but everyone else didn’t know that yet
I’m not saying that what you said is wrong, but I think there needs to be a shift in this whole situation. People tend to negate color and say “We’re all people, we’re all the same on the inside.” True, but this word is colorful. We don’t see it black and white, we see it in color. And the color in nature, in man-made things, and the color of our skin, is something beautiful. I think the mindset we should take isn’t “skin color doesn’t define you,” I think it should be “look at your achievements and accomplishments, and look at you, including your skin; it’s beautiful.”

Dude, you’ve always been one of my favorite creators on TH-cam for years. I never buy a tech product without checking to see if you’ve reviewed it first. Standing up and speaking out is huge and just add to the greatness of the person behind the camera. Thanks taking a stand for what is right!
Same here
He's biased af
Same here. If marques doesn't say it's good it's def not good.
Same! Every tech purchase I've bought in the last 5+ years, I've searched for Marques' review first. He knows his stuff and I really appreciate his truthful good and bad opinions about the products. Thank you Marques for your video about your personal thoughts and experiences with racism. I will continue to learn how to be anti-racist, speak up, and listen.
I never understood how anybody can look at a human being and only see the color of their skin, or hair, or any part of their looks. This is something that is so deeply alien to me, it is unfathomable how racism is so prevalent of any level of the society.
I’m with you, and I hope nowadays you feel much more free.
It is deeply alien. It is not a natural function of humanity. I feel the same.

Marques, it ain't your skin colour that defines you, its your Soul, your Heart, your Work and Commitment that Defines You.
Love Your Work & Dedication.

True for all 🙏
One thing I really like about Marques is that he has one of the best speaking skills on TH-cam.
Would you say that if he was white?
@@rome2989 yeah cos speaking skills have nothing to do with his race
I mean I would I said the same about totalbiscuit back in the day
@@besatmaster5418 exactly, what is wrong with that guy?
@@rome2989, is there a stereotype that white people have bad speaking skills?
I'm a white guy from an ordinary background & my wife is Black. I married her because she is beautiful, nice & well educated. Never given a cr@p about colour. You're the best tech reviewer on YT.
When he started with Marques here instead of 'MKBHD here', you know the guy is being serious.
That shit scared me
Yehuda Nadav 😂
And no intro music
Wow you're so observant...
Yes
"I want to try to be something to look up to for kids like the 15 year old me."
That statement hits hard. Thank you for all you do Marques.
Marques. We' ve always looked up to you for "tech". We will continue to do so. Today, in addition, I thank you reminding us to be something, which our kids & younger selves could look up to. This should be a life goal and it seems is often diluted or forgotten in today's instant gratification world of dash charge & higher Hz. Getting a huge number of likes seems to have gotten more important than inspiring our children and future generations.
He really already is something like that
If he sold out less, I think it would help that goal
stfu man
Never thought of you as a black creator. Whenever a new tech comes up, I always and always will come to you. The only thing black i ever thought of you is your obsession for matte black.
And Dbrandz😭
God damn skin😂
Me too, like how can you call someone a “Black” TH-camr. For me everyone is the same too me.
Recognize that he is black, but don’t segregate your thoughts because he is.
Exactly this. Never even looked at him as a “black” creator, just one of the GOATs
Hey Marques, seeing this now 3 years later! Your openness and directness here is inspiring, thank you for making this video, it's like "of course" but still it takes courage not all of us have.
I have watched your videos on and off for years, and what struck me was your intelligence, excellent judgement on tech issues (what's good, what's important), your cheerfulness and gentle sense of humor, the thoughtful production and great organisation of your videos, and all the useful information I have gleaned. If I need to know the latest on a product I search in general but also look to see if you have done a review as I know I can trust it.
The color of you skin is just there, as in "oh that's interesting, wonder what his story is- with that way he has, must have great parents! "
Anyway that's from an older white guy, very concious of the polar opposite: of often benefitting from white male privilege (like with encounters at a border or with the police). I have lived in lots of different countries however and one thing I have found to be true everywhere: if I treat someone with respect, if I can genuinely find that in my heart, as my brother or sister, there is an excellent chance they will respond to me in a very positive way. Zen Buddhists say we are all Buddha, we are all already enlightened, which just means we are just ourselves: just we haven't realized it yet! (and once we do, then we keep on forgetting it). But that insight is everywhere: in our toothbrush, in our tiredness, in our impatience, in our joy and fear and laughter.
And in our favorite (or least favorite) tech! For me I just put a new battery in my Mac so I am in a good mood!!!
When I think of marques I think of the best tech youtuber with the best quality vids.
He is the best in this space. Keep doing what your doing!
Anyone search
Search "yocotox " in youtube
I think of 'ahhh that's hot'
True
Same!!!
This is something I've seen others commenting, and I don't want you to believe it's out of pity, but I've always thought of you as some of the best tech content creators, never did it cross my mind the thought of you one of "the best black tech content creators"
Just wanted to make sure you knew that
As a black woman that is sounds like being black is offensive or limiting.
Same here
Same here, mate.
Same here
same.
Imo the best quality videos on TH-cam
I was genuinely confused when I read the title. Here's why:
I've been following and watching your channel for years now, and I've frequently found myself looking to your channel (as well as other popular tech TH-cam channels) for tech advise and reviews.
I've always known MKBHD as a channel that I can trust to give their honest opinion on a tech product, and I've hardly been disappointed. I've always visited your channel simply because you were a great tech TH-camr to me.
That's why I was confused at the title.
I've never looked at you as a "black tech TH-camr". To me, you were always a "tech TH-camr". Great personality, great content, great advise. Skin color has never been a factor in my choice of online video consumption, and it will never be.
I hope that you will continue doing what you do, and that racial stigma will soon be a thing of the past. I hope that nobody has to live their lives having that "bugging feeling" whenever they're walking the streets or driving home at night. I hope that what happened recently has been a wake-up call to many people, as well as an educational event.
Till next time, stay safe.
why don't you also make a 10 min video about it?
@@tarungarg287 why does he have to do it?
Same for me. I been interested in tech, and what he explains. The color never mattered at all...
asruz87A just because you don’t personally experience it does not mean you get to invalidate our *very common* experiences. don’t do that
Same. I have always watched MKBHD and never thought about watching him as a 'black tech youtuber'. Great comment 👍
I'm a 69 year old white guy who looks up to you. You're the best regardless of skin color!
5:42
I just wanted to say this out loud and a lot of your followers will agree with this too. We never saw you as the best "black" creator we see as the best creator. PERIOD.
honestly
Amen to that

Totally agreed man!
Yep!!
You are not the ‘black’ TH-camr. You are the ‘Ultimate’ TH-camr. Huge fan.
What's wrong with him being black? Is that something he should be ashamed of?
@@alexts94 Come on. Why you do this. It's not what he meant. He simply doesn't stigmatize based on his skin color.
@@alexts94 A bright youtuber who creates quality content. You nailed it. Does mentionning his skin color really adds anything here? I don't think it should. It shouldn't alter our perception of his content / his skills.
@@carlos9402 The entire video was about him reflecting on his skin color. Obviously it doesn't and shouldn't alter our perception of his abilities, that's not the point I'm making.
@@alexts94 Obviously not dude. Don't try to stir up trouble.
Being black and watching you over the years I've wondered what your experiences were like in those areas. I have a lot of respect for what you do, what you're standing for today and I admire your accomplishments.
To some of us, you being black, was NEVER even a thought. For me, you are excellent at what you do. That’s all that matters.
Never thought of you as the black tech guy, just one of the best tech TH-camrs.
Agreed. As someone out the USA I don't care about race. He's just a good tech TH-camrs. He's not more or less because of his race in my mind. I just don't care.
I hope the USA can get pass this race issue
Your good person not everyone thinks like this
Jeffrey 773 Naturally nobody thinks like this. Most people who are racist are ‘taught’ to be racist.
When I was a kid I never thought a black kid was inferior or superior, I look at their actions not their skin colour.
Only when I grew up I see usually teenagers and adults that develop the racist mindset, naturally we are not racist when we are born, we are taught literally everything we know about our world through our consciousness.

Im not saying that MKHB is a bad guy, but you gotta remember that alot of these TH-cam guys are basically actors. Some can be totally differenf in a video than in real life. Who knows how many takes it took for some TH-camr to say or edit the script for their vid to make it as entertaining and positive as possible.

I have been watching this channel since 2010 and i have never seen you as a black tech youtuber but the best Tech youtuber because the content is interesting to watch, the effort you put into it and the way you deliver it. I will always be a fan.
AMEN!
Thats facts tho like ive never actually even cared about the dude's skin color I kinda just don't care like literally have never noticed that u were black I just saw you as the best tech yt channel
I share the same opinion. I don't care you are White, black or asian, I like this channel because of the content.
My name is Jeremiah
As someone who has been watching this channel for a while too, I agree with you. And I hope Marques knows and I’m sure everyone on this channel agrees with me that he is not “the best black tech youtuber”, BUT “the best tech youtuber” period.
When it doesen't have music in the Intro you know that this is going be serious
I literally thought this yesterday
Lol I thought my headset died

TFW you wish TH-cam had a heart emoji instead of just upvotes.
It’s crazy how I’ve watched you for years and never really thought about you being a different race, of course I can see you are black, but it never hit me that some people care about stuff like that. It’s dumb, it’s petty and it’s beyond comprehension (I was going to say it is childish but even kids know better). I wish you the very best, I will continue to watch your videos and do plan to make a donation to one of the organizations you are linking (not really sure which one yet). Thanks for being an inspiration to a 29 year old, just cause you’re younger doesn’t mean I don’t look up to you.
Well, all humans belong to the same race, skin color is just like hair color... Still agree with your opinions
Ditto!
Because you just see a human.
you deserve more thumbs up, EVERYONE THUMBS UP
I really like your words!
it’s crazy because you’re not even just “one of the best POC tech reviewer channels” on youtube. you’re literally the TOP. in general. and that means a lot. you’ve sorta normalized someone who’s not white to be one of the top tech content creators, and it shows in how people never mention you being black but rather just that you’re one of the most popular channels. That’s a huge huge achievement. It’s about damn time that content creators and talent are recognized for just being the best, not the “best black” or best poc. You, Dave, and Justine are the only 3 tech product review channels I really watch. Justine is white but she’s a woman, and as a woman I just love watching her but she’s amazing in general. Dave is Asian (Korean I think?) and as a fellow Asian American, I also love watching Dave but also he’s just one of the best! y’all are all pioneers and I hope you know that. Because most people aren’t pointing out that you’re black, dave’s asian, and justine is a woman. Y’all are just simply the best tech channels on youtube.
Marques is one of the few TH-camrs I can think of off the top of my head that isn’t biased, thinks for himself, and genuinely seems like a cool guy.
Never really thought about your skin color, Marques. I've been watching you since 2014 because of how great your videos are.
True

Very enjoyable video. I am an 80 year old white male who grew up in the segregated South. When I was a small boy my father introduced me to a friend of his on the Main Street of a small Southern town. Daddy said it was his boyhood friend. I shook the hand of the old black man who had tipped his hat and called my father ""Cap'n". Walking away I throughly examined my hand. My friend Freddie had said that touching a person of color would turn my hand black. I have come a long way since then and believe we as Americans have. TodayI have a great granddaughter who is black. But what you are taught as a child
and the culture that shaped you as a child cannot be changed by the flip of some kind of mental switch. It takes time and desire to change and prayer.
"Don't just follow someone because he's black, follow him because you actually like his content" 👌You're a great ambassador at producing good content.
Anyone can produce content. Now where does this video fall on the originality scale? Probably a 1/10
I haven't watched it, but he's just following the crowd and making a video about a topic that the media and SJWs are talking about. Go discover an ancient reptilian species or something, make something original, there's thousands of these videos online. I'm unimpressed, you're only gassing him up because he's "well-known".

Wow same I’m a 20 year old black Computer Science major too and I found MKBHD when I was young too. I hope he realizes that his impact is huge and that he inspires a lot of people to be themselves no matter race. He is definitely the goat of TH-cam tech and revolutionized this space and black TH-cam creators
Yo! So happy to read this man! Same here tho I'm hispanic haha.
Well - 5:48 In my opinion you achieved that. I never really thought of you as a black person - just a person. Not a black creator - you are just one of the best creators out there. So you achieved that. Congrats! There should be more like you. Thank you for your content, for your honesty.
To be completely honest, you were someone I looked up to already when I was 17. Being the same age as you I think that is pretty impressive. So - you achieved. You did it! And you are still a role model for me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
The amount of melanin should not decide of anything but resistance to UV. And I am kind of jealous of that.
So again, you did it. You are one of the best creators. Period! Thank you so much!

100% agreed, racial identity politics is a very dangerous and divisive mindset, we are all people, and for those of us in this country we are all Americans and we should stand together against racism and injustice vs be divided by race and skin color. Your mind and heart are what matter most, not the color of your skin
Brad Carpenter not just as Americans. I am German, we are all human. :)
I always go back to the Morgan Freeman mentality: I don’t see you as “that black creator Marques,” I see you as “Marques Brownlee.” I think most of your audience would agree with this idea. Of course it’s not like we don’t see your skin color, but we see your humanity and personality first and don’t really think of your race as a factor in your personality. Race is not really a consideration in our choice to watch you and to enjoy your content. You are a human being with great insight and charm in what you do, and we’re always going to see you as that rather than seeing you as a color with a personality underneath it.
I agree. Don't really care about skin color. The guy is cool, that's all that matters

I second that. I don't understand why it has to immediately be a race thing.
Of course you mean well, but this is a bit of a generalization. Just because you haven’t felt or seen social prejudice, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It easy to assume there are no problems from your standpoint, however there are other perspectives that may say otherwise.This is a country wide issue, reason why there are protests taking place in the every state.

This is so weird
Every one knows how talented and how good he is as a tech TH-camr
You can clearly see how intelligent and kind he is
So why should Marques, a TH-camr who entertains and teaches people all around the world no matter from where, which skin colour, which sexual orientation and wich religious orientation they have, be judged only by his colour? No one is the same. That’s why we can learn so much from each other.
