  1. On that train were mostly women, children and old people. And then a strong black man complained that he had to stand for 14h.
    Sorry, but who should give him their seat? Woman, child or an old lady?

  2. In 2015 it was about migrants not refugees and they were mostly young men, not women and children. Today is nothing like 2015…

  3. Life longer this rong country better ef you would you want to live this war

  4. This is heartbreaking..๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ God let Ukrainians hold on with their freedom. Give your strength to the one's who left fighting and safety to the one's who flee. May God intervene in this war for it stopโค๐Ÿ™โค๐Ÿ™โค๐Ÿ™

  5. NBC – thank you for your racist remarks. Yep – there are some double standarts for sure in accepting that some people are genuine refugees and some are just migrants looking to get free welfare. Great reporting skills – keep up great russian propaganda.

  6. โ€œAs long as there is racial privilege, racism will never end.โ€ Wayne gerard trotman

  7. 3:38 In Poland, when you go by bus or train and you see someone who needs this seat more, you give up this seat . It is not racist, it is pointing out a lack of good manners.

  8. Ukrainian dreams come true

  9. NBC, you lost your credibility as a news source a long time ago. Thanks to you and ABC, CBS, CNN among others, massive election fraud took place in the US presidenital election and you covered it all up to protect the "Democ rats" and simply due to your hatred for the greatest president the USA has ever had…..Donald J. Trump. But he will be back soon in 2024 and well prepared to fight off your corruption linked to the "Democ rat" party. NBC is Fake News!

    Conservative Hispanics For Trump 2024!!!

  10. NBC News, stop lying about discrimination. Priority is given to women with children and older. they have no chance with young, strong men. and the color of the skin doesn't matter. you help Putin in his propaganda. congratulations

  11. It is really a SHAME how NBC News is looking for any signs of discrimination in Eastern world against other nations everywhere. You have just proven not having a sense of clue what Ukrainians are experiencing now. The young boy having a need to stay all the way to the border when the old people are sitting? THIS IS A DISCRIMINATION???? You have lost your mind.

  12. Please Lord help Ukraine refugees people

  13. I have not seen one russia behaving badly
    These are all Soros Obama
    Paid actors.

  14. STOP PLAYING INTO THE BS RACE CARD…..it's getting annoying…

  15. People from Poland are so racist nowadays ๐Ÿ‘ŽIn Germany they were many years also looked like people from second classes. Thats why I think they turned racist too

  16. Putin will pay either in this world or the next. Hitler will be waiting for him. Prayers for all Ukrainians from USA and blessings to the countries helping them in all the different ways. Good shall prevail!

  17. Support for Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Iraq ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ Palestine ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ Venezuela ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช Afghanistan ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ Myanmar ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Syria ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ Yemen ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช….. etc. The lives of civilian victims of wars everywhere are of equal value and should be supported the same way. Everyone deserves the same compassion because they are all humanโค๏ธ .
    Western media are hypocrite. Why nobody was supporting those countries when they had/have wars and thousands of civilians and children are killed everyday? When Ukrainians fight against Russians, we call them Heros (which in my opinion they ARE heros), but Why they don't call Syrians, Iraqis…. heros when they were fighting for their countries the way Ukrainians are fighting for they countries. Why Ukrainian refugees are being welcomed all over the world but Syrians, Venezuelan….see the borders closes on them and nobody want to take them, not just that, they were being mistreated and treated as animals. Aren't they humans too and fleeing war in their counties?
    I personally support Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ and condemn the war because the one that suffer most are civilians. But we clearly see double standards and humans are not treated the same, rather treated based on their color, origine and religions. Shame on us ๐Ÿ˜ช!

  18. ๐Ÿ’•โค๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”…..Thank you Poland ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ

  19. African man should stand, when these women and children can sit… outrageous

  20. hey leftie tv ukrainians don't run into belarus since belarus is a part of this war on putler side! and the way u manipulate what black guy said is just another reason ppl don't watch ya ,btw I do to see how much lies u spill out!

  21. NBC you should stop with fake news – it's not a double standard that we accept refugees from Ukraine but not accepted refugees from 2015 crisis. Refugees should flee to neighbour country and Poland is Ukraine's neighbour – Afganistan and African countries are not. Furthermore in 2015 crisis those were mostly economic migrants not refugees. You won't fool us.

  22. What racism are we talking about? The young man would like to sit, while women and children stand? No able bodied male citizen between the ages of 18-60 is allowed to leave Ukraine right now. Double standards, indeed

  23. All the women and children who fled the war, their husbands, sons, father's stayed behind too fight. How many will never see their loved ones again? All because Putin has an insane delusion of the USSR rebuilt

  24. Poland ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ

  25. I really sympathize with the plight of the Ukrainian people due to the weakness of the mindset of the Ukrainian administrators. but are you all sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinian people while ukraine supports israel in its oppression of the Palestinian people … what you feel is just a little bit of what they received .. why it is necessary to oppress fellow human beings. hopefully you realize what a mistake you made. but I don't think you all will realize it. because in a situation where you have to be attacked. you are still oppressing them (foreigners) when they want to get out of ukraine … the reward of karma is not only to you but to all the oppressors as well as the people behind it more precisely americans will face karma.

  26. Many opportuniscs crying racism, the only thing going for them.

  27. I'm for the people of Ukraine but not for their corrupt government. Now Biden wants to send billions that will Not go to the people. The Media lies.

  28. Some people ask: how Poland can afford to help 1,3 million of refugees? They need food, job and accomodation. But this in not a time for asking questions. People in Poland help Ukrainians not for โ€œthank youโ€ not for a smile. They help them, because refugees you are our brothers, our sisters who just need help.

  29. alot of construction jobs in future for them / junk buildings any how.

  30. Think for yourself and do not join the tribes creating a unified consensus of the narrative of this war.

  31. We need to do everything we possibly can to help Ukrainian refugees the same way we helped the Syrian refugees.

  32. Germany, they have a Nazi law introduced by Hitler, Poles are not a minority and this is real democracy according to the EU.
    Poles in Germany do not currently have the status of a national minority, which was taken away from them by the Nazi authorities of the Third Reich.
    In November 2014, the German Ministry of the Interior rejected the request of the Union of Poles in Germany to grant Poles the status of a minority .
    btw Germany is in UE & NATO LoL

  33. The discrimination is because Belarus is moving immigrants by plane and forces them through the border! This isnt about any racism.

  34. I'd love to see a trillion dollars go to homeless people in America

  35. ONLY THE WEST, why don't you go ask the Eastern Ukrainians who have been LIBERATED from the Azov NAZI Battalion bombs??? The ones who occupied the "maternity hospital".
    BEWARE of the WESTERN FALSE FLAG BIO-WEAPON
    STRIKE that they will blame on Russia as a pretext to start a war with Russia. Then you can kiss your SUV, your flat screen netflix and football good-bye. WWIII
    is the M.A.D. ***END*** period full stop!

  36. So 3:38 fat boy had to stand? Did the 83 year old woman from 2:17 should give up her seat? Not everything is racist. Sometimes it is forcing common decency on somebody that has no manners.

  37. Sweet innocent people CHILDREN THE HOLY TRINITY IS WITH YOU โ™ฅ๏ธ

  38. well they get the benefits of the EU they wanted … They will never have their home back. It's true. And it's totally different than welcoming africa and middleeastern people- neighbors need to help. Closest safe country needs to help. THat's just what it is, help thy neighbor. But the rascism that the blacks and other dark skinned face needs more attention, they should all be ashamed.

  39. Africans need to seek refuge back in Africa, not in Europe. Africa for Africans and Europe for Europeans.

  40. Putin is a loser, doesn't matter what, for killings of innocent humans, he must not be let off the hook. Naive Russian army personnel are innocent service-men just doing their duties!
    A state can never be owned by an individual like idiotic, thugish minded Putin.
    e.g. Russia of Russians have a great business relationship with Bangladesh, and this friendship will continue but insanely ambitious and greedy V. Putin is nothing but a parasite and should be brought to Justice for crimes against humanity in "Saddam of Iraq's trial style" and held personally liable for economic dameges caused to naive sufferers, -which must be applied as well to all other similar criminals including just a few individuals identifiable as "Covid-19 Business Master-planners in UK, USA, Israel, China" and other ones in N. Korea, Myanmar, Saudi Arabia, Iran + etc.
    Anglo-Hebruish advisers of Covid business in US-CA are causing political sabotages for fooled jb's and jt's leaderships in North America.
    Precious knowledge:
    The reality created by fear causing Covid-criminals that's inflicting sufferings on countless 'hard-working folks in all corners of the world.
    [Deeper insights:
    This is an age of quick spreading awareness and no leader on earth can get away without paying the price of consequences of their wrongdoings after undermining the sentiment of the majority of common folks.
    To start with catching, the best examples of HGP's global mission of positive change, would be Putin, Kim and the masterminds of Covid-Business-criminals.
    It's sad to see, for an unclear purpose or reason, our leaderships in North America is still implementing the profiteering, evil agenda of outlandish 'Covid Business master-planners'.
    If the sense of morality was stronger than personal interest or ego, then "our leadership – under outlandish political pressure" would grab the opportunity and use it as an aliby to indirectly help stop grand thievery of public funds through local agents like A. Fauci and then by big evil-network of Covid Vaccine and Tests.
    2022 is the perfect time to amend or make and enforce new sets of stricter laws in kind of Saudi or North Korea styles so that severe punishments or long term jail sentences with hard labor (to compensate for and defray the costs of incarnation) are imposed against social criminals as that are badly required by almost all the crime infested (products of too lenient, humatatian 1950 – 1990s VIEWs) nations including Canada, USA and Europe. All the justices departments in the world, unlike the dishonestly, rotten British standard of justice system, are in desperate need of "BETTER SERVING MODEL OF NEW AGE" enforcing tougher punishments against social crimes whether it be wealthy Bill Gates or a poor Street mugger.
    There will be no alternative to strongest possible punishments against all perpetrators in social levels, the murderers and defrauders. Period.
    Hey agents of secretive systemic manipulators of evil UK in disguise of harmless bosses of public organizations, banking, insurance, health, trade sectors, crown Corporation, "registrars, clerks, gate-keepers of Courts of Law in North America".
    .**********
    Now as of mid February 2022, dear Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden, please stop the nonsense rhetoric of Covid restrictions you both are continuing beyond acceptable limit in terms of public credibility and patience in North America, and therefore must adjust your speeches as per the reality and aspirations of North Americans in year 2022.

    Dear jt and jb, be informed that both of you are definitely in wrong direction with this Omicron (by listening to advice of your hebruish-anglo advisers with outlandish agenda).
    You can choose either: to hear the voice of majority and act in respect to their wishes or to continue to suppressing general public sentiment, but surely you or jb can't fool the ordinary North American citizenry anymore with the illusory so called scientific data etc. propagated by a special interest small group in profiteering Covid Business.
    Remember, the base of supports you and jb got from me since bo's days in the office as POTUS (go through the hundreds of my emails sent to your desks with non-violent motivations and precious insights for Liberals & Democrats on either side of US-CA border).
    Dear jt & jb, instead of acting complacent and inadvertently destroying your own credibility, positions and party bases, wake up and look out of the windows at the sheer volumes of unhappy average folks along with the Canadian truckers that with the support of common folks all over, are actually turning into majority, gathering in your front yards, they are on global streets from Sweden to India, whereas the safe-haven of Covid business masterplanners, the hub of Covid Vaccine and test related material tradings -the UK (wait and see, as of February 1, 2022 PM of UK: bj shall begin to singing totally different tune of 'antilockdown, no restrictions Covid rhetoric') as if they are the first rescuers and liberator of the world from the catastrophic Covid.
    Soon, just like you, jb of US would be overwhelmed by general public reactions, and be feeling abandoned once "brain-washed by the outlandish Covid criminals" – he, out of his foggy mind, gets in touch with the reality of present time!
    Do not even listen to the advice of those 'good for nothing specialists influenced by big pharma covid vaccine money'.
    Regardless of well-bribed or not, with common-sense you guys in top positions, if not 'delusional like A. Fauci or B. Gates with insanely greed for money' should ask this logical, simple question to your own selves: where is the regular 'constantly mutating seasonal flue in this winter of 2022'? ???
    You have the answer: "Oh my cron" is nothing but a variant of naturally modified form of lab-modified Covid version of winter flu – which became merchandise of Covid business criminals, in the name of scientific data researches in labs of UK, China, USA etc., have been creating Virus-panic with fear mongering twisted facts via broadcast in all sorts of media with only one purpose of making furtunes in collaboration of their accomplices like "Bill Gates, the criminally motivated ownerships of profiteering Covid vaccine and related product manufacturers".
    In 2022, the above stated too greedy criminals attempted again to get most of what's left in public health funds in care of poorly or unwisely run global governments elsewhere including our North America.
    And by befriending with and believing in the words of North American agents of the evil "a fringe, British Anglo-hebruish agenda of a very small group" mistakenly you guys are 'caught in a trap and clearly seen on the global stage'.
    However, now in 2022, both of you (jt & jb with my precious insights) shall have the opportunity to come clean and lead the entire world 'of hard-working, good, honest folks, in very transparent, real progressive ways by exposing to the world all the truth and facts you have learned about the deliberately plotted and wel-orchestrated Covid-19 business matter and the positive impact of such acts of morality on collective sentiments of global public will never be forgotten by the generations to come.
    Detached from the North-American sources of wealth through mainly Insurance-Underwriting, Vaccine, Medicine, Bombs, War-toys, USAID, Canadian natural resources, oil, money printing etc., the 'furtively ever systemically manipulating', double faced, evil-masterminds, a very small, Hebruish-Anglo group are already engaged in covert trade relationship with China and its' business partners in order to continue their usual invisible crimes of thievery of wealth from other nations, but by the whim of cosmic thing their identities would be exposed along with all their associats with heinous money making strategies using the so called scientific data and attempting to further prolong the fear mongering virus business in 2022, by creating situations for wars, productions of destructive materials, bombs, war-toys, war machines, nuke, fuel etc. by propaganda-broadcast of items like natural fuel shortages, 'global warming etc. etc. .
    {N. B. There are just a half of a dozen of races including jews in Arabian territories, and less than only 0.000001% of them are evil-mastermind Semetic criminals like Bill Gates -who have xenophobic, depopulating kind of mass murderers' mentality) and sadly, a nonsense, anti-semitic law (made a century ago after Hitler-Era ended, and in 2022 it desperately in need to be repealed) is now being used to protect the above noted criminals at top only and not even slightly to benefit the 99.99999% ordinary, good, peace-loving honest jews, Arabs (and other minorities as well}.
    ***********
    Fact finding as example:
    Bill Gates is one of the master culprits -who first became billionaire from creating so named computer virus (hard sisk of computer jamming cookies) and selling mainly through crooked UK based prducts of so called computer-anti-virus softwares, without being held responsible by any authority for their defrauding businessย  practices -which encouged the same elusive group of culprits plot a new evil scheme that involved a lab-modified mixture of humanly transmittable seasonal flu virus with anthrax type other viruses. Then, tests of human-virus: Ebola was performed in some locations in Africa with satisfactory results -which in a labiratory modified and developed form with a new name: Covid-19 has been tested in recent past on crowded places like Cruise Ships and Markets with successful outcome.
    (WRITTEN 22 MONTHS AGO: Readers of this informational thought-work should help generate awareness among fellow folks in all corners of the world about the outlandish STRATEGIES to create virus fear and broadcast worldwide by which the highly secretive jobs of "fear of Covid virus spreading" has been done using most of the fooled global governments like America, Bangladesh, Canada, Zimbabwe etc.).} ].
