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.🖤🖤🖤🙃
When an MKBHD video starts without music:
Oh my, this is serious
It's another level of seriousness
@@Ayoub-pt4nm literally gave me chills. But tbh, I thought my headphones were broken
Agree!
He also said "Marques here" instead of "MKBHD here". Well thought of and pretty powerful if you ask me.
Yesss he always starts his videos with a soundtrack....
Three years later and this video is still such an inspiration. Thank you for being you and unapologetic about being who you are as an influencer.
who cares
AYO DARE WAS A PANDEMIC N SHEEEEET
@@AmazonEnforcerwhat are you, 3?
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.
and the world needs more people like you too Alex, keep being great
@@emerald4318 thx ☺️
I'm 61, white, have 32 years in tech. I look up to you. You're a great communicator.
I edited my comment so the replies made no sense. (Also, everyone negatively reacting to it are dyslexic or don’t know how to read)
Naveripse Eclipse who cares about CZcams nickname? There was no rudeness in the comment below. Can’t it be serious or what?
As a 26 year old white man, this comment makes me really hopeful. Thanks for sharing, John :)
@@ZatchFan83 u look indian tho

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!
This was honestly hilarious I’m not a mean way but a funny way
cynisdaone that wasn’t the joke. It’s because he really likes matte black and constantly talks about it on the channel.
cynisdaone and I completely agree with you but you didn’t need to say anything because it wasn’t related to what I said.
Diamond HD actually I responded to you saying it sounded better in my head! I understand now why you said it.. plus I said it’s all good!
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.
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!
We're not striving toward the same things but I get what you're trying to say.
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...
@@_VISION. we are. We all just want success, happiness and and overall decent life.
@@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
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
This is a really powerful comment and I really hope he sees this. Peace!
👍🏾
Satya Nadela too
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.
@Mali Neki you forgot your tinfoil hat
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.
Yeah im 12 and i just love watching marques's videos and i really felt bad for him just by hearing his sad voice today.
@@suchirghuwalewala I’m 12 too! :)
wow u guys have so much in common
@@magicheiner lol
same bro
This video just popped up on my feed... and I am glad it did. 17 million people agrees... thanks for sharing.
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 CZcams celebrity.. keep the music running marques.. you are simply awesome..
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
The first thing that comes to my mind when i think of Marques is trustworthy, quality and high resolution
Yes
Exactly, I've never even thinked about wich color his skin happened to be, just that for me, he is the best tech youtuber
*High Definition ;)
Not to mention great battery life and a high refresh rate.
Emphasis on HIGH RESOLUTION
I'm a 69 year old white guy who looks up to you. You're the best regardless of skin color!
I think the first video I ever watched of yours was the HTC Dream / G1. As a young black man in high school myself at the time, I DID gravitate to your videos because you were like me, but over the years I've just been so proud of you for breaking barriers. Looking through all the comments and seeing so many people crown you as the top creator without your skin color being a factor is inspiring to me. I share that sentiment, obviously being here 14 years later. I've always struggled with people being titled the "best black this" instead of just the best. I, myself suffer from imposter syndrome being a black executive at my company and always being told how "well spoken" I am, which is a backhanded compliment only because it's a surprise to some. It took me a while to realize I'm just really damn good at my job and I'm the best one for it. I only hope that one day the archaic pre-judgements will fade so that people like you and I can feel comfortable, confident and respected in any room we step foot in. Until then, thank you for being THE BEST and thank you for sharing.... I know I'm late, no idea how I missed this video the first time around, but glad I saw it today.
"Instead of being one of the best black creators, I wanted to be one of the best creators. "

Wait i actually forget mkbhd was black 😅 so black dosent matter at all 😅
Later this will be in quotations,I want it to be👌👏

why would this idiot want him to label as Black in first place ?

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!! 🙏🏾
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!
Honestly I never thought of you as the best “black” creator, I just thought of you as the best creator

Ignoring someone skin color is not anti racist.

Have never thought of you as the best “black tech reviewer” for years you’ve just been the “best tech reviewer”. Period.
100% Best Tech Reviewer Ever.
such an incredible journey to watch too, watching him grow up and start his CZcams at such a young age.
Amen! I never even though of your color of skin... were are all human. ♡♡♡
He is not the best.
He is biased and paid to promote certain brands.
He is fake.
@@kuracutvojumamu shame on you! Then why are you here in the comment section? Go back to your best tech reviewer!
@@kuracutvojumamu 🤫
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
@@boxsterman77 🙄
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.
accent??? he sounds like a normal american lmfao
@@oxlip Don't you understand what i said you dummy
@@oxlip I didn't you idiot
@@oxlip A. 152 liked his comment. No one liked yours.
B. What even is a normal American? If he used AAVE, he'd still be using normal American
@oxlip guess someone forgot that America is not the only english speaking country
This man just reviewed his own skin. Absolute legend!!!
underrated comment
So I've been using this skin for more than two decades now, here are my impressions
Kumbe Chemu wewe hufika hizi sides😂
lol made me laugh, and yes i'm black and understand the occasional doubts myself.
So I have been using this skin for 27 years and here's my thoughts
Never seen you as “The Black” tech content creator. Always seen you as “The Best” tech content creator.
Real talk
Straight facts
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!! 👏🏼🔥
Black is beautiful. And don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. NEVER feel inferior to ANYONE. Love from London. Stay strong brother man 👊🏾
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.
“A man should not be judged by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.”
RIP MLK
The rioters got no character.
This is how I go about it.
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
U sure?
"Instead of being one of the best black creators, I wanted to be the best creator."
But Marques, you are.
Both
@@chaddhaji1407 race has nothing to do with being a good creator and shouldn't be a factor.
This. Don’t blow smoke up people ass because the color of there skin
I second this.
Couldn't say it better myself.....guess me and 11.1 Million others too
Most CZcamsrs cannot be compared with you, but skin colour has nothing to do with it. You are just the best. You are the only CZcamsr I watch on regular basis.
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 CZcamsrs I can think of off the top of my head that isn’t biased, thinks for himself, and genuinely seems like a cool guy.
You know it’s serious when he says “sup guys, Marques here” and not “Mkbhd”
LOL
That just lets you know its personal.. Not just entertainment
Yeah or when there’s no intro or outro music
I was like “oh gosh its SERIOUS”
Damn, Marques. Not gonna lie, you choked me up a bit. You’re the fuckin’ man. Keep staying true to you
Can we just make one thing clear?
We never thought of Marques as a "Black Reviewer"
He's the best out there
I knew he was black
You are saying black aren't the best ??
He can be both a black reviewer and the best out there..
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.”
This is came up in my feed and I still love this!! Thank you my brother!!
Marques, I have found myself watching more and more of your videos, and I finally realized that you are my favorite tech reviewer. When I thought about it more, I realized why I prefer your videos.
You have a gentle, and calm demeanor, and you also have a great knowledge base. Your reviews are thorough, and informative. You are able to help people make a choice of a tech item based on the characteristics that are important to them, even if they are not your preferences.
You are a true professional. You are seriously good at what you do.
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😀
1.1 k likes and just 1 comment? Wow
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

The comlexity of your discussions is so thought provoking, I feel you could be a spokesperson for any field, any topic. I love your videos, and I learn so much, not just about tech, but about how to maintain a proper conversation and talk about controversial topics without loosing my shit! You have the most level headed approach, and you command respect without enforcing it!
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.
When I think of MKBHD I think of Matte Black Everything not "Black Tech CZcamsr"
Lol good one.
When think of him I think of a shiny black guy
@@bippityboppity5140 wtf?
Matte Black is fucking dope tho
Matte black looks good on tech tho
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?".
True that
Exactly what i was abt to type
Yet barely knows about tech can’t even remember phones he reviewed and made 3 videos about even a few years ago
True
I put him in my numero dos my man Linus is my numero uno for me
I know this is late, but I just discovered your channel recently. You've helped this white guy a great deal in quickly getting his tech knowledge up to par with the requirements of his new job. That was how it started, but you've started to make me passionate about tech and innovation, too. You're the best sort of teacher, and the tech community should be grateful to count you as a member.
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!!!
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.
Mines ksi
You know i dont even look at colour. I never even had the thought of him being black go through my head until this video
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.
Noony JW what is wrong with you?
Honestly I just forgot he was black because it doesn't matter
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.

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.
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
@@omniyambot9876 yes

EDIT: I'm absolutely mortified that I may have offended anyone by my previous wording, and apologize for my previos comment. As the poster below surmised, I only meant well and didn't even think what I had written, could be offensive.
Marques, being a proud father of 3, hearing how much your parents supported you, they must be so proud of you. You are such an awesome video, and content creator, that I feel not only children, but some adults should look up to you. I've supported you from the first video I watched, and will continue to do so. As others have said, I've never paid attention to the color of your skin, but I've never had to. I've never had the struggles you and others have, but I will continue to do my part in whatever way I can to move the ball forward, and to try and eliminate the ugliness that is racism. It'll take all of us to eliminate it from our consciousness and for us to treat each other as human.
Thank you for putting this out here for everyone to see and hopefully reflect. You truly are an inspiration.
He has kids? I have a feel they look nothing like him 😂
Pro tip, don't say "well-spoken" to a black person. I'm assuming you mean well but yk the history and context of it is... Yeah
@@hadesedits1501 thank you for the knowledge hammer, I did not know that was an offensive phrase and will not use that term moving forward. I appreciate you letting me know!
While I rarely subscribe and have never left a comment, I've decided to change that today. Your tech channel is far and away my favorite, and when I'm looking for a thoughtful, well-produced review on a product, you are my first choice. Thank you for what you do, and how you do it.
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.

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

You are an inspiration to so many. In fact, most of my tech purchases have been influenced by your videos. I bought my first Tesla because of you. But the most important thing you do is show how people who look like us and have had our experiences can find the highest levels of success in what they do. So, from me and my sons, thank you! And thank you for your bravery in using the incredible platform you've created for good.
Literally everyone in the comments apparently: “wait he’s black?”
Agree, who the hell care about skin colors. I always see him as he is a great technology youtuber.
Its OKAY to be of any skin color. It's 2020...why are we even discussing this?
Those people who think they are superior bcoz of your Skin color or Ethnicity or Religion have something Seriously Wrong with them
Isn't that a good thing? I don't even consider his skin color. He's my dude, a human. Isn't it good we never even saw that as a label?
This comment section is a perfect view into everyones mind. There is just such a small portion of people who are actually racist. 99% of us are not.
@@tanweeralam1650 Yeah, i also thought we were past that already, but apparently not. This is as ridiculous as when little kids argue about boys being better than girls and shit like that, but it's unjustifiable because it's actual grown ass people that STILL think this way. Smfh bruh...
I have never looked at you as one of the best black creators. I have looked at you as one of the best creators on the platform. Period. 👊🏾
Hell yeah
You had us in the first half there not gonna lie
🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 well said
Same. Never thought about colour cause really it don't matter.
Completely agree with your statement i have always admired him as a Great Tech CZcamsr who puts honest opinion on stuff he reviews.
keep up the good work man, i never thought of u as a different content creator based on skin, but on quality
You're definitely a role model and an inspiration for many. I frequently share your videos with my teenage son who inherited my obsession with tech!
You know shit's serious when he doesn't have intro music.
MysteryMii copied
Right! Almost scared me a little and it should. Serious stuff going on.
U said it
Best believe
serious i just notice
We never saw you as a "black" CZcamsr.
For us, you've just been MKBHD.
Weeeell idk bout that
you forgot to add "the best tech CZcamsr"
Wait if he never got hd cameras would he just be MKB?
tehc what a
Why can’t he be both? Why can’t he be a tech youtuber and a black youtuber?
You are the best content creator when it comes to tech. Thank you for making this video.
You are an inspiration and easily one of the best creators on the platform
I'm just gonna say it as simple as I can.
Ever since I discovered your channel, I have considered you the best Tech CZcamsr. 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.
agree 100%, so genuine.
:) well said. Couldn't agree more
100%
I'd say that he's currently the best tech broadcaster right now.
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
Duh
😂💯
😂
I think most of your subscribers follow you because you are a genuine person with a relatable personality. Keep up the great work.
I've been following you for over a year and a half, you are as genuinely as they come you're my favorite youtuber. Great work and i can tell how amazing your folks are, they must be proud!
you know its serious when there is no intro music
You know it’s serious when he doesn’t say mkbhd
And ends with no outro music as well
Same I thought my volume was low or sth
“Be the person you needed when you were younger”
A girlfriend?
A babysitter?
A Dad :(
@@melo7572 😂nailed it
My dad?
i like that it's 2023 and youtube still recommends this video! Keep on the good work!
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 CZcamsrs 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.
For the record “You are one of the best creators. Period. “
Arguably THE best tech youtuber
Creator of the decade!
I agree whole heartedly.
When he said “Hey guys, Marques here” we knew it was gonna be serious.
Lmfao foreal
I say, you know it serious when there isnt an intro song xD
I thought it was pretty clear based on the title of the video
We knew that by the title
Actually he said “Sup guys, Marques here”
You’re the best honestly. Thank you for doing what you do and I hope you keep creating and keeping us informed for years to come 💜
Nothing has ever resonated this much for me! Love your content but this made me appreciate it on a whole new level
We never looked at you for your skin colour, we looked at you for your awesome content,
And we still do man, thats why we are always here watching.
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 CZcamsrs of all time.
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” CZcamsr. 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
You guys all inspire me, working on my own tech review from half a world away
Not related to the video but I’m in tech and every time I’m looking for an honest review on a product I alway look for your videos first. Thanks for being so loyal and caring for your audience. Your channel is a great example of authenticity and success.
Skin colour has nothing to do with a person and their talents. You are doing great bro
Live in America then say that.
Sorry world, America is different.
@@whitealliance9540 I must say I am disappointed. 21st century and still?
@@nabeelhakeem3593 yep. It's still hard here. They dont like black. It hurts. I wish to go to india one day and see brown royalty.
White Alliance I'm from India, and it's harder here! The casteism and racism are in our core!
If that were true in America, then MKBHD wouldn't have had to make this video.
"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
Very well said
I agree 100% with you
Same
100%. Marques is the most trustworthy and knowledgeable about all things tech. Linus, lew, etc ain't got nothing on you!
I’m watching this a little late. I have genuinely NEVER thought of you as a “black Creator” or CZcamsr 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!
Came to this video late, but always believe in yourself, continue to do what you do, and we can all hope and strive for a future that is color blind and inclusive. Thanks!
❤
When I think of Marques I think about one of my favorite youtubers and that crispy, crispy audio and video quality.
joshua broughton-herrick 😭😭😭😭😭😭
lol Man! The CRISPIEST👌🏼.
joshua broughton-herrick No, crisp audio and video means the quality is VERY HIGH TIER.
@joshua broughton-herrick I'm going to hell for laughing…
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
“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.
Well said man.
True bro
Who is next best youtuber, I accidentally disliked and unsubscribed this channel
I like that stop diving this platform, everyone here is on a even playing field.
@@whyamiherenow5122 what
Thanks for opening up. I’m certain that this wasn’t easy. This is a thing for us - daily. It’s hard to express that without fear of being alienated or misunderstood. Especially in more recent times. Thank you for your bravery! 👏🏾👏🏾
Awesome post. You are already there on both your goals. More power to you, Marques.
Never saw MKBHD as a black content creator until today, always seen him as the best content creator.
Same! He’s a Role Model!
Rightt?
You say "black" like its a negative.
raymondjackso25 he says black like race doesnt matter
raymondjackso25 people try to see negative things in everything smh
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!
Well said, bro!
Man these are great thoughts!!!!!
Exactly same here mate
Likes on this comment are increasing by 50 per minute !!!!!!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Honestly, I never cared that you're a black creator. It has never even crossed my mind. You're another human being with great videos. Some of my interest, some not. And that's okay. Your point is so valid and I feel like some people do feel that way, but I feel like most of your fans don't.
Keep up the good work. You're doing great for yourself and you're setting a good example for not just black people, but anyone else that they CAN become successful.
I only just found this channel and have been going back through your postings and came across this entry. So I'm a 55 yr old white man from England, currently living in NJ. My background is so different to yours, although we seem to share a love of tech ;-) Thank you for these thoughts. They're as important in 2023 as they were back when you said them in 2020. Keep being brilliant, and a role model. "Peace"
