  1. We must UNITE!!!! We have NO CHOICE

  2. the war is in Ucranei, I hope you guys always so good

  3. Soooooo fkn tired of it. 🤬😡😠

  4. This guy cries racism. But what I got from this interview is that he was able to cross border in les than 24 hours. Don’t get the logic

  5. Racism is so horrible!

  6. MSNBC and CNN are doing everything they humanly can to suppress these stories while pressuring us to sympathize and empathize with Ukrainians and they’re failing b/c I haven’t watched MSNBC in weeks now.
    Ukraine this, Ukraine that!!

  7. Ukraine is very racist I've heard and the way the west makez Putin out to be a bogey man makes me think the west has something against Putin

  8. Is it racism, or the fact they are foreigners in another country during war time🤔? This country is at war lmfao why does the news try to push race narratives nonstop? We are all one race😉

  9. But Africa calls us a kata and we are the first to lend a hand to them Africa where's the help for us I don't want to hear this a kind of thing anymore or that we are white because we come from America you guys get mad if we put on any God that you guys wear Americans it's time for us to take care of us because no one thinks about us they come over here and move in our neighborhoods and treat us like white people they take white stereotypes and trope that white people have designated to us as a race it's time for us to do our own thing because in America no one comes to our aid John Henry Clark we have no friends!

  10. This is a nice gesture but I think it's time for us to take care of ourselves we are suffering dearly in America and nobody comes to our aid I'm sorry to hold grudges but just think of slavery no one ever fought to bring us back on the continent of Africa so where is the love for us I ask us and all the people of the world

  11. Horrendously Nationalism creates Fascism and in turn then creates Racism. There is nothing good in the current day Patriarchy system of most countrie.

  12. Ignorance
    War
    Always
    Regardless of circumstances
    Never ends
    🙏❤️☮️

  13. God have his way of getting things done, he'll use whomsoever he will, He's able.. how precious it is, God bless them and those that God used to assist him in his deliverance.. he'll take care of them🙏💯👍

  14. But according to Candance Owens, we've conquered racism.

  15. Racism in the Ukraine, how about that? And they have the nerve to ask people for money to help the ukrainians.

  16. Incredible. Duwa you're a hero. The job you amazing work.

  17. DEAR FELLOW BLACKS, WHITES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CLEAR TOWARDS US, NOW FOR CENTURIES. IT BAFFLES ME WHEN YOU MAKE INDIVIDUAL DECISIONS TO BE IN THEIR COUNTRIES AND WHEN THEY SEGREGATE YOU, YOU START YELLING ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND WHAT HURTS ME MOST, IS THAT WHEN THOSE RACIST WHITES COME TO AFRICA, YOU TREAT THEM AS KINGS. GET UP, STAND UP. CAN WE ALSO BE RACIST ONCE TOWARDS WHITES? I THINK, THAT WOULD BE AN ANTIDOTE TO THEIR BARBARISM

  18. I don't know why, but since the war began, something has been telling me that Russia is doing the right thing.

  19. And when I say I support Russia, you say I am bad. But I just wish Russia success.

  20. I feel so bad for them I can’t imagine what they are going through. Their families has to be beside themselves praying 🙏🏾 that their children makes it back to them safe. May God be with them.

  21. But they telling me I should care bout Ukraine while them folks been treating ppl who look like me badly. Idc what Europeans do to other Europeans let them do it

  22. Why help a racist country

  23. MY BEAUTIFUL.BLACK SISTER THAT'S VERY HONORABLE OF YOU.(MY LOVE & PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.)!!!!!,

  24. I can't even imagine. On top of dealing with a war, they then have to deal with racism. It's so wrong. I'm so glad they got the help they needed and that there is a system formed to help others get the resources they need to get to safety.
