Forgive but never forget
This was my big take-away. I was never PRO confederate statues, but I thought it may be better to keep them around as a reminder of how badly we erred as a culture. In Germany, school children study the atrocities committed by the nazis. They have symbolic exercises to experience loss, etc. The point being Don't Forget & Be Better. That was my thought behind "maybe we should keep the statues", but hearing Emmanuel say "not always to be celebrated" - which I'd say a statue is a form of celebration (commemorating, right?) - made me think of this from a different perspective. Now, watching videos of statues being torn down and discarded is a lot more symbolic to me. I'm glad I stumbled across this video.
@@adam1979NSmcc actually, you weren't wrong. many black people are just starting to come around to the opinion that these statues should not be torn down and tossed away, but relocated to museums like the museum of african american history. if there are too many then we can choose the best two from each state. but someone influential needs to get on this before it's too late.
@@adam1979NSmcc So you're glad about protesters tearing down statues of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington?
“History is always meant to be remembered, but history is not always to be celebrated” So clear to me now!
Amy, I want to say thank you for making this statement as its 100percent true
Your name is European. You should have pride, not shame. Your guilt is sickening and a slap in the face of your ancestors.
William Holdstrom what guilt? There was not an ounce of guilt in Amy Colliers statement. Just a beautiful ah-ha moment. She is not disrespecting her ancestors by understanding that Black Humans are hurting in this moment. What is sickening are humans such as yourself.
Amy. What was your view/thoughts on it before this video?
@@williamholdstrom1879 There's no reason to feel either proud nor ashamed of something you can't change. All any of us can do is learn to be our best for our tomorrows. I don't remember being European. I was born and raised in Canada like my parents and their parents before them.
He should have a Netflix series “uncomfortable conversation with a black man”
Only if he wants Netflix to have those conversations with him.
yes maam. it's needed
Agreed. This topic needs to be heard and drilled, and thats JUST to repair what our ancestors did. And then from there i believe we can move on to a new belief system. But as i always say (jokingly) we need aliens to come so these racist fucks are cancelled out due to we will be 1 race the human race.
If he was white and shirtless he would have had a movie deal and a 3 season deal already
But where is the accountability for all colors? It's just black and white. This is only one sided
I love the dads enthusiasm about learning..if only everyone was like that☹️

I grew up watching their show!! I love them
Learning what ?
There are people on both sides that don’t want to learn from the opposite side.
"If your plan is for a year, sow rice. If your plan is for ten years, plant a tree. If your plan is for a hundred years, educate children." Confusius
So in your opinion @fyrfly, what did this episode sow? I was , well , I am hopeful for these conversations but so far they've sown petunias. They grow fast, have big beautiful flowers but can't survive in-climate weather.
@@mrsrbhayes1707 well those petunias might evolve, and they might change into something new. And i think taht is what is needed, something new. Nothing done before has worked, so i guess evolved petunias will be a change.
Also: "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is right now."
Right
Thank you. Let’s continue this important conversations.
Emmanuel Acho: *Breathes*
Chip and Joanna: "WOW"
It's almost like he's interviewing an Owen Wilson montage. lol
Lol.
Nice content you got going on your page there buddy !
@Sunshine_Smile typical what?
THANK YOU for your perfect comment!!! After hearing their 100th "Wow" I stopped the video so that I could look at the comments and see if anybody else found it as annoying as I did. It's like they're sitting at the feet of the guru on the mountain top. 🙄
Chip and Joanna: We tested our kids to see if they are racist, and figured out that they are not racist, so we felt the need to make our kids racist by seeing color and treating people differently according to their skin color rather than the content of their character…
Take a shot every time chip and Joanna say “wow”😭
you’ll be blackout drunk in 5 minutes

Tell me why I want to try this
That’s what I was thinking lol
Whitest thing ever lmao
I'm a Black man and I watch HGTV (shhh...Don't tell nobody😄)and I have loved the Gaines since their show first aired. I love the fact that they came to have this conversation knowing that their millions fans would also be a part of it. Thanks guys.
Lolol Mr. Mayson that made me laugh. Don’t worry, we’ll keep it a secret
I agree, but low key HGTV is part of the he problem as well. None of the people on their that have shows are Black. The once couple in Fort Worth had a show for a second but as of now, unless I have missed something, no one is Black and that is a problem in their programming.
@Harbor Anthem I agree. I had actually noticed this last year before everything took place this year and I was just disappointed. I had put something on their IG but if course one person complaining doesn't make a difference, but hopefully they can do better with the diversity of show hosts.
@Tom Swain that comment is so irrelevant to the bigger picture.
@Tom Swain please go away. Thank you
When you're colour-blind, the side effect is you also become blind to the injustices of other people who are different from you. Its important to see, acknowledge and embrace the differences. Others will not be able to understand another community's hardships because they are not subjected to it and vice versa. Same with tolerance, acceptance and understanding is better than just mere tolerance. I'm a minority in my own country amongst many other minorities but we don't all have the same experiences. Similar but different.
That’s why I always say to someone who says “I don’t see colour” I say “it’s good to see colour, it’s good to see colour and embrace our differences and celebrate them”
I have never defined myself as a minority. There are many different races in my country but no one uses the term minority or majority to classify or define race because it is clear that doing so promotes divisions and psychological enslavement.
But when it comes to how you TREAT someone, there should be no change based on race. I think that is what most people mean when they say "color-blind". Does that make sense?
@desertrosereads Well both are true really. I think Singularity was referring to the way color-blindness as a concept can rob you from understanding and appreciating the differences between us.
Of course it would be wrong to make assumptions based on stereotypes attributed to whatever group someone may be a part of, but it would be equally wrong to ignore the injustices that the group has suffered.
It's the same thing in my country Kenya some people say they dnt see tribe. Which I definitely dnt agree with. It has reached a point that some people dnt want to speak in their native languages and dnt want to be known they come from which tribe. The uniqueness of each tribe is what makes Kenya and Africa at large beautiful. Same thing applies for race. We can't deny who we are and where we come from. What we need to foster is tolerance for each other and our differences. That's what makes the world beautiful.
Put this guy on the mainstream Media.. seriously, fox, ABC, bbc, nbc, cnn, someone make a phone call. These conversions need to be aired on ntlle television
He is
Yeah, and then start booking guests with a different opinion and perspective than him and see how well it goes. All he’s doing is spouting critical race “theory” and the Neo Marxist BS he was indoctrinated with in College. I’d like to see him bring on Thomas Sowell, Jordan Peterson, Jesse Lee Peterson, Michael Knowles, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, etc. instead of people that he knows already going in the conversation that they aren’t going to push back. That’s an uncomfortable conversation.
@@fleafarts3576 I'm guessing it's because people like that aren't willing to deviate from their own extremely narrow point of view. Or, if they're fake pundits, their Fox News Propoganda Captors are afraid of real conversations happening as that farce of a network would then collapse into oblivion.
@@toughtaurus7270 sorry, I’m not a Fox, MSNBC, or CNN fan. I am into facts and discussion but a find many people that are far left don’t like facts.
@@fleafarts3576 That's hilarious coming from the false as hell terrorist enablers that infest the GOP, or hell, maybe even ARE the GOP at this point. Your projection isn't fooling anyone.
I wish Joanna had discussed her struggles as a Korean American.
Now who's being prejudiced without cause?.... Careful with that pionting finger now..
@@LucianCorrvinus : Nope. Its called sharing culture experiences!
Chinese American here. I don't wish that because:
A. That's not the main topic of this video. Maybe if it had been specifically agreed to have a conversation about racial solidarity, but there are definitely other platforms where the topic of Asian American experience is shared about.
B. It's not an oppression olympics, but it is a different experience of racism.
C. There definitely exists anti-blackness in Asian communities. In the same way it's important for white people to listen to educate out of anti-blackness, it's important that at least some of the time we're not sharing but listening.
I mean, you know, if Emmanuel had agreed to it I think that would have been an interesting topic but I wouldn't want it to steal the attention from the main subject of anti-blackness. I don't think there's a black and white to whether she should have discussed her Korean American experience, but I think there are good reasons not to.
I was thinking the same, we did all that but did not really touch on her biracial experience and the prejudices she’s faced beyond chip saying the kids all looked different?
............what was her struggle.....
He's only 28?! He carries himself with such maturity
He has 28 years of experience as Black skinned American that shaped him...that's a good amount of years.
Yea I thought he was much older as well. But as a black man in America, a 12 year old and 35 year old could probably articulate these things to a certain degree.... with the same fervor.
@Kenny Olivier I'm voting Independent. I will literally vote for anyone who isn't Trump or Biden to keep those old delusional idiots out of the White House.
@@kokolatte825 😂😂😂
JoyfulMD and wisdom. Very insightful.
The two kids that asked questions have such strong confident voices.
And they were powerful questions!
Yes indeed and they spoke without being afraid! Kudos to their mom and dad for exsposing their kids to a wonderful learning experience!!!!!
“We learn things as kids and it develops us as adults”. Thank you for that profound statement. Emme’s question and your answer brought me to tears. As a white man in my 60’s one of the few things that stand out in my childhood as a truly teachable moment, is my white father standing up to a bunch of rough white men over an incident involving an interracial couple who were friends of my parents. I was never more proud of my father and that lesson has stuck with me my entire life. We are one race...human. We are diverse, color, culture, language and in many other ways. But that is the beauty in our humanity. Thank you for your videos.
I thank our LORD for your father, and for loving, courageous people like him
That just brought tears to my eyes! To see the whole family there and these parents exposing their children to this openness!!! THIS WILL BE THE CHANGE! OUR YOUTH WILL BE THE CHANGE!!
Well said
@@mel00711 Thank you and thank them!
Yeah, for a child to hear a grown man say he’s afraid of your skin color will definitely not have negative results
Openness to what? This will be the change? What does that even mean? Our children will be the change? Apparently the children weren’t racist and didn’t judge people based on skin color, now they will. So after we indoctrinate our children they will be the change… is that what you mean?
To see Chip not cracking a joke or being witty is different but refreshing, thank you guys!!!!
Agreed
I love that he said “history should be remembered but not always celebrated” I think this is what separates America from other countries who have put forth real effort for reconciliation. In Germany you would never catch them naming a school after hitler and that part of their history is considered shameful, while in America black people are confronted with gaslighting when we’re told to just get over slavery and segregation while constantly being confronted with racist symbols.
Say that again! #truth
that’s so true
I'd say quite the opposite. Yes in "Europe" we're learning the histor, we're learning the good and the bad, the things we can be proud of and the things we should learn from to not repeat the same mistakes. But the way Americans talk about it is absurd to me "white guilt" that's just bs imo as an European. I'm Polish, so yeah Hitler, concentration camp, all this affected Polish people, affected my family that was killed in these camps. My city was destroyed in 89% by Nazis. And sure if that didn't happen my grandpa wouldn't be left without a father at age 4. He wouldn't be struggling financially growing up, so my parents would also inherit some of those finances and they wouldn't struggle, so I would be growing up without those financial struggles as well. Not even mentioning all the losses in the economy of the entire country that was completely ruined first by Hitler then by Soviet Union. But never in my life I would have thought that the new generations of German should have any sort of guilt regarding what happened. Sure, it's a "shameful" part of the history of their country but in no way it is their fault. They didn't slaughter my family members, people who did are long gone. I have German friends I would never do or say anything to even suggest that they're somehow responsible for those events. I'd never see us as any different just because my ancestors were the victims and theirs were the opressors. It's really shocking for me to see people in America being so divided, there is just so many walls put up so many fingers pointing at the othet guy, so much blame being put on people that had nothing to do with the crime. We learn from the history to not repeat the same mistakes, while you live inside that history looking for not even justice but some sort of vengence, going from one extreme into another creating even more division therefore racism in the process.
@@NitkaQ this is absolutely true and well stated.
Wrong. Blacks already got reparations back during the New Deal. They need to shut up and fix their communities.
*this was a conversation that seemed so natural and respectful and well flowing. And I admire the analogies, I can never make analogies that make sense*
Brother! As a Black man, I really appreciate what you do! God bless man!
So it's a positive thing to keep pointing out skin color? Wow. Well screw what MLK said during his speeches in the 60s. My 9 year old daughter doesn't carry any anticipation about white or black people because thank God, no leftists have taught her to see skin color and more teaching her to recognize character and how happy and comfortable they make her feel.
Emmanuel's analogies are so impactful and insightful.
Yes and yes.
Go to nowhiteguilt.org and get the FIX for the anti-White narrative.
And fallacious. 7:39 electricity is not necessary for life. It wasn't used until 1831, when British scientist Michael Faraday discovered the basic principles of electricity generation and was able to set up a framework enabling electricity to be harnessed and used by people. Last I checked, people existed before 1831. Onto the analogy, comparing Black people and white people to water and electricity. While it’s true that water and electricity when mixed can be lethal, why is that exclusive to white people and Black people? If a negative reaction occurs between Human beings of any race with mixed together the results can be lethal, so this analogy makes no sense. Throw in the fact that according to the FBI, in 2018 of all black people who were murdered, 88 percent of the victims were murdered by other blacks. I know in this day and age, facts are the new hate speech, but facts matter. As does logic
@@RedPillGrimReaper Well, according to Oxford, "analogies are comparisons between one thing and another, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification." So whatever analogy a person chooses to create, to further express their point, is THEIR choice, whether another person chooses to think it makes sense to them or not.
Now, in regards to your point about electricity. I think you should do a little more research on who discovered electricity first, because it was definitely used in ancient Egypt. Also, lightning is a form of electricity or an electrical current and I believe that existed since the beginning of time and it does have a purpose and is a "necessary" part of life to some degree. It also has the same lethal effect when it comes in contact with water. So that anology makes sense to me. Of course, any race of people can have a negative reaction with their opposite race, however this topic is specifically about blacks and whites. Again, he chose that analogy for a reason and it makes complete sense to me.
To your point about blacks killing blacks, although statistics may say that's true however, most murders are committed by persons of the same race. Soooooo.....that's irrelevant to the topic of this video. Now, that's factual!
[The truth shall make you free -- St.John 8:23] Have a blessed day.😊
@@DimitriNosarev Quit trying to bait for an argument. He made it very clear what he was trying to say. Also, he never said, "white people and black people are like electricity and water." The question had nothing to do with race relations directly but about his own feelings toward white people. So, the analogy wasn't how white and black people interact but his own feelings when he sees a white person or interacts with a white person--he is cautious, not afraid.
Your argument distracts from the meat of his point. It is arbitrary and unbecoming. Do better, be better, and stop being a pedant.
Bruh. This man has a beautiful metaphor or story for everything. I absolutely love this series and as a white man trying to be an advocate against racism and trying to better understand the struggle of what black people have to go through on a daily basis, this is very powerful content
Yes, we all need to be advocates against racism.
I think that's the biggest key to educating people. Put it in a perspective that they can understand.
Me too
Lol life is great most days. Until someone reminds you, you’re black. Just depends on where you’re at. Most people act like they have sense. The times I have experienced bias or prejudice is when shopping at high end stores or just hanging out in a predominantly white area. You definitely feel the stares . Most pretend to be cordial, but can feel the tension.😂 I’ve had to tell myself, it’s on them. Not your problem
His parents are Nigerians, we usually use metaphors to tell stories.
"Colors and cultures are beautiful." Ase, King. Ase. Powerful words.
can we appreciate those kids, they stayed quiet all the time
they’ve been very quiet and laid back since the start of fixer upper , you can tell they have a good home structure
Goes to show what actual parenting does for children. I have seen Jo and Chip work as a team many times on their shows to make sure they are spending time and effort with their children. If you don't spend time with your children it is impossible to impart your values onto them and they are left to their own devices to educate themselves and have nobody to help weed out what needs to be. I think as a very successful couple they seem to do an excellent job of balance. That's not easy...and with 5 kiddos!
Sounds like the "Children should be seen & not heard" bullshit I was raised with. 😔
@@sassyscrofa1972 I hear ya being silenced and being polite are two different things. Thinking they had a family discussion pre interview and the kids were able to formulate and voice their questions honestly. So don’t think it was a be seen but not heard scenario.
*THESE ARE THE CONVOS WE NEED*
Talking about race shouldnt be Taboo, we need to have these talks to understand each other.
Agreed
I would like to have a discussion about race. We would have to agree on a few big 'T' truths, to begin.
First: Black Africans have more culpability for the 'black diaspora' than any other demographic. 2ndThere is still slavery being practiced in Africa.
I'm not uncomfortable... Are you..?
Well said, we are the human race...we all cry, grieve, love, bleed and die the same...
@@manuke179 thank you I'm glad you agree
@@kianekeo4644 I'm so glad to see that you understand. That's exactly what I think too
“Are you afraid of white people?” When she asked that, I immediately attempted to find an answer to that question (as a black man). Because it is not fear. Your description of water and electricity couldn't have been more accurate for me. Great work, brotha.
That answer of cautiousness is reasonable and can be applied in reciprocation from a white persons point of view. I personally take into account the environment and other observations I'm in at the moment and determine what direction the interaction will go. I personally am not cautious with every interaction with a person of a color different than I.
@Question Everything Not "harbour racist feelings" but they can be prejudice or have racial biases. There is a difference between racism and prejudice.
@@benivey5811 But that caution from a white person's POV is based on pure racism. A Black person being cautious is based on history and experience. It was long ago that a Black person couldn't use a white bathroom without being killed are harmed. Very different. If you can't see why that's different, then I don't know...
@@benivey5811 The difference here. From the POV of a White person it's based off of racism and outright lies. From a Black Persons point of view it's based off history,experience,and knowledge passed down from family which some may have scars as actual evidence to back it up.
Personally speaking. For a white person there only cautious because someone of a "different skin tone" to put it lightly is near by. While for Black people (and to some extent other minorities) are only cautious because they know how horrid racist white people can be and how each and every interaction is a 50/50 coinflip that could cost them their life at any given moment. Like he stated water and electricity are both essential but if a negative interaction should ever occur. Just one. It's over for you.
@Question Everything possibly. OR maybe the kids could've also been told beforehand to come with a question prepared since it can be difficult for some kids to pop up a question under pressure like this. Especially with a controverial topic that requires some life and experience to pull from
The dad seems so excited and eager to learn so much more to educate himself and his kids.
Learn and educate .. you socialist
I so appreciate these videos! My understanding has grown ten-fold! Thank you, Emmanuel!
Jupiter Paulsen incident.
Yep, a large part of the problem is we often confuse 'Culture' and 'Race'.
Some cultures are intertwined with race, such is the case for ADOS. And there is nothing wrong with it. It is wonderful!
@@orp8428 Of course, culture and race are often 'intertwined', but they're still not the same thing.
@@orp8428 I would like to have a discussion with this man. We would have to agree on a few big 'T' truths, to begin.
First: Black Africans have more culpability for the 'black diaspora' than any other demographic.
Second: White Europeans ended international slave trade in 1837. The US lost 650,000 white men fighting a war to end slavery in 1860's, while there is still a thriving slave trade for black Africans in Africa to this day.
Third: You want reparations... ?
Beg/browbeat/threaten the Africans, not the White Man and see how that works out for you..
I'm not uncomfortable... Are you..?
@@ejthomas6630 Your big gotcha moment is to absolve all the Europeans and their descendants of some of the worst atrocities against humankind? Yeah okay. Slave trade in Africa was never the same as chattel slavery but you knew that. Slave trade in African countries today still doesn't compare and never will [you might be thinking of the Middle East].
Asking for reparations from people who are removed from the sins of your ancestors... people who also suffered and are still suffering at the hands of your ancestors... the point? Anything they had to give Europeans already stole and still possess so we are right back to you.
I'm not uncomfortable but you need to be.
Kandice T The Europeans of today are not responsible for their ancestors. So I suppose the Japanese also owe Koreans to what they did in the early 20th century? Nobody owes you just because of your race, get off with that racist tone.
I think that we need more kids asking questions.
She cut right to the chase with that one.
Yes . . . and in general: Conversation . . . Dialogue . . . with no preconceived "Right" or "Wrong". Some people are afraid of participating in such a dialogue for fear they may have a "wrong" idea and be chastised for expressing it. For instance when Chip asked his question . . you could tell that it was coming from one train of thought and when Emmanuel responded - he was clearly approaching it from a different direction . . . . that's what unfettered dialogue can bring. I'm happy to have found this site and hope to be learning as it goes along
And adults with open correct answers, lot gets misinformation passed on. Keeping open mind and deciding things for themselves will help them in life more than being taught. Always be learning :)
You mean we need to write more questions for kids into the script
Completely agree! They are the people who will be making a real impact on how the future will be.
I am so, so thankful for you, Emmanuel Acho! Thank you for your honest teaching, your hope...for including children in your conversations. I have learned so much from you these past few weeks....As I believe Chip alluded, what you've said speaks to the soul and has connected with my soul in life-changing ways. Please keep up your amazing work, and I thank you, again for pouring yourself into as you do.
Emmanuel, you are phenomenal!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you're doing. I've had some of these conversations on my own channel with my own kids. THIS IS POWERFUL. Thanks so much for doing all that you're doing!!! Our world needs your voice!
There was a time when we thought being "colorblind" was the way to respect people; you should treat people equally, but that didn't make racism go away. It made race a taboo thing to talk about so we didn't address the problems that still existed. Importantly, ignoring color is ignoring a part of the person's identity. Pretending it doesn't exist makes it hard to believe a person has different experiences in the world than you.
Amen! You hit the nail right on the head! We ALL must celebrate the cultures we were born into. But, we HAVE to be willing to open ourselves up to other cultures and to embrace them as we want others to embrace ours. Color and culture are ABSOLUTELY the most BEAUTIFUL parts of life and we all really need to be open to understanding one another. Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴
I so ABSOLUTELY LOVE you comment...very well said, bravo! The beauty and unity of diversity is why have distinctions!
Noticing color is part of the problem. Colorblind is all about treating people equally. You can treat people equally but still recognize differences.
Also bring color blind most ppl will make the person white lol
Osama Akhtar That is true but most of the time when people are raised to be color blind they ignore the different qualities in experiences other cultures have in the world
I absolutely love these conversations I think he should go around to schools
Wow. I agree. These conversations should be part of every schools curriculum.
Except, they aren't conversations as the guests are allowed or willing to disagree.
Opinionated Ape I think they are conversations, and not arguments where people agree to disagree. People talking to each other is the definition of conversation.
@@opinionatedape5895 how do you disagree with anti-racism? Is there a defense?
@@TypeOneg sure. The obvious point in Americans have already invested trillions and blood in remedying the situation.
This conversation was amazing! Thank you Chip & Joanna, and family for being a part of this.
Channon Christian Medical Examiner's testimony.
So eloquently said. I especially like your conversational tone and being open to the questions asked and answering honestly. I believe more of this needs to happen to be able to move forward. If we celebrate differences, we will gain so much vibrancy in our lives. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I love this so much. His honesty, their openness, the kid’s engagement...a beautiful piece.

@@UniverseSpeck in what way?
@@UniverseSpeck he’s talking about the pain of black people in America specifically. And the conversation is not supposed to be uncomfortable for him, it’s supposed to be uncomfortable for the person he’s talking to, that’s why they’re asking the questions. I don’t know why you’re on this brainwashing agenda but you should rewatch these videos because you’ve been doing a bunch of hearing- not enough listening.

I know! It was too short!
I only just found this out by researching on their old tv show. I’m glad I did. I can’t wait to see more.
So go ahead and start your own video dialogue. What do you think is valuable to talk about? Get together with LanieD23, Angela Verna, Rachel Larissy and

About 45 years ago I discovered that I'm a racist. I went to a lawyer-acquaintance's party having a good time (eating up the delicious food). Without warning I began feeling uncomfortable as I suddenly realized that I was in a white-minority. It upset me that I felt this way. Me of all people - a racist. I tried to fight-off the feeling and didn't succeed, so I left the party. Too bad. Spent two weeks roaming aimlessly around NY, feeling dejected, ashamed and angry with myself. After that until I called the host up (ostensibly because I needed a lawyer) and she asked me why I had disappeared so suddenly from the party. I was ashamed but told her the reason, nonetheless (don't ever lie to your lawyer). SHE LAUGHED AT ME until I began to laugh at myself, too.
Thank you for having a real conversation where we can be comfortable with an uncomfortable conversation.
Recently discovered these videos and they are so powerful. Acha is able to explain and put words to tough issues and emotional issues so well. All the guests have been amazing as well.
NEVER tell a Black person, “I don’t see color.” It’s insulting. You see my color and uniqueness and I see your color and uniqueness and CELEBRATE IT! That’s what makes the world a wonderful place. No two people are alike! It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!
ADDED 6/19 for further clarity:
I know white people don’t mean any harm when they say they don’t see color. Many are trying to say they see me as a human being. (Listen to that…as if my black skin makes me less) But to tell me that you don’t see my skin, as obvious as it is, implies that something is wrong with it. It’s ok to see my skin because it’s a part of me! However, the way you treat me shows me how you see me as a human being, whether I’m black or white. Do white people tell other white people, “I don’t see color?” If a person REALLY DOEN’T see color, ask them to wear neon green from head-to-toe everyday from this day forward. Ahhhhh…… now do they see color??? IT’S OK to see my skin. From porcelain skin to the bluest black skin. I SEE IT ALL and ALL OF IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!! 💕
I see color. I just don't decide who you are because of it.
It’s only insulting because you base your identity on your race, which is really undermining your individual self.
@@jazzyjake99 I don't think you have to base your identity on your race to acknowledge it. It's fine to acknowledge race and culture. The other thing is that some black people probably are more concious of their race than whites because they're aware of how it directly impacts them, and that's not something we should admonish them for
Omnivore Overlord Please do not mix race and culture, because they are NOT one in the same. Black people in the US practice the same cultural practices as white people, so culture is not a race issue. Race is incidental, an anthropological distinction based on genetic ancestry relating to the geographical location of the sun. ( closer to the equator, darker the skin). THAT is what race is and nothing more. It does not control your personality, principles, or morals. So don’t try and give me this “black people are more aware of their race” crap, because race is incidental.
jazzyjake99 That all sounds well & good & yes you are right pigment changes when you are closer to the sun. Where your argument becomes ignorant is by saying black ppls culture in America is the same as whites. Not true & there are enough videos out there by white ppl who truly are friends with black ppl and spend real time with them that explain that. So maybe try educate yourself a little bit on the subject. Especially if you are participating on this platform. Before saying black ppl are not more aware of their race, maybe do some research on that to and take your argument about pigment and incidental to all the cops, white nationalists & your president because he DEFINITELY doesn't see it that way about most other 'pigments' that don't match his. Maybe tell the Amy Coopers of the world that... She is a clear example of how systemic the racism in the police is that just by being BLACK means you are more at risk of injury or death & far less likely to be believed when it's a white woman in distress standing next to a black man.Their skin COLOUR has been used for hundreds of years to suppress and oppress them. So please, stop being ignorant or go do it on a platform more suitable. This channel in particular is about educating, understanding and healing, not complete ignorance. If you have or had watched all 3 episodes you would know by now how completely irrelevant and insulting your comments are. Pls educate yourself & be part of the solution rather than the continuous problem....
These conversations about race should be part of every school's curriculum.
I agree! It's the only way to change our world
No. We should teach children that people are NOT an outdated social construct, but to see people as what we all truly are... Human beings.
@@willowb1527 you are right. We are human beings, but if you tell a child that every person is the same, he or she can look around and see that that is a lie. We all have similarities, but we also have differences (skin color, dialogue, and culture). Our differences do not make us superior or inferior to anyone else. They do not make us any less or more human. That is the truth and is a good start on my opinion.
My granddaughter goes to a school where they do have a diversity class twice a week where they discuss tolerance, bullying, racism. Sexism, etc...in their school they keep it as diverse as possible where no one race is the majority.
I am an educator in the public school system. You should know that this topic without prejudice will probably never happen in the classroom.....simply because all other cultures will have to admit they have a serious problem and when these problems are exposed and begin to surface you will have to admit out loud that you are not perfect as you want people to believe, you will have to face the fact that you are not a super power, you will have to admit before the world that you have been deceived by the enemy of mankind for a very long time and you have been walking blindly convinced that you were not doing wrong. Even teachers will have to admit that they have been teaching error. Nevertheless, this is a start. Keeping in mind that many cultures have mastered the art of deception and will agree only to try and pacify their true motives to disarm people of color and try to convince them that they truly want to make peace. Alterior motives. Not everyone will deny truth but unfortunately a lot of people will. Sad but true.
Man, its really so good to listen to those conversations... thank you!
you choose your words so carefully and beautifully !! thank you so much for helping myself and others learn to understand more ❤️❤️❤️
When Emmanuel talked about a white person who's a racist and a white person who is racially ignorant that really put into perspective a lot of where my friends and family might be at. Being racially ignorant might mean they do/say racist things, but there's a way forward from that. And I think it's my responsibility to have these difficult conversations with them. I think in the past I've written people off when they've said certain ignorant things, but I should have taken the time to do the work and figure out who might have been responsive (immediately, or eventually).
YES!!! And I don't think it's always up to the white person to show that he/she is open to a conversation. Discussion can be started between people by any one of those people when approached respectfully and lovingly.
The inversion helps put it into a perspective that is very applicable and actionable. Comparing it not knowing if a dog is a threat or a pet, and the implication that caution should treat all dogs as threats until proven otherwise, really resonates.

Thank you for listening and learning. Your allyship is appreciated
@@europeanman6506 seems pretty racist
I was one of those parents raising my kids to be colorblind until I started to get shocked by some of the things my daughter would say! For example, she thought we were “gray” because we weren’t either Black nor White, in her mind we were in the middle, which meant “gray”. So I had to explain that, though people’s skin color is irrelevant, if we were to give a name to our skin color it would be brown.
THEN, one day she was playing with some old makeup of mine; and I noticed she was darkening her skin - essentially going for blackface (mind you, she was 5 at the time); so I asked her why/what she doing. She explained that dark skin is so beautiful, like her best friend at school, she wanted to have darker skin. I explained that she could love how beautiful her friend was, and admire her skin color - while also appreciating and liking herself for what/how she looked like too (self-love)... and that though - I could understand what she was trying to do- other people had done it before but for bad reasons... so if we were to do it now it would hurt people’s feelings.
Ever since then I have been more mindful about race, color, ethnicity, ext... so that she can understand the world how it is right now - BUT not accept racism or making people feel less because they are different.
Love how you handled that. ❤️
From the pure eyes of a 5 year old, even she can see the beauty in ones skin color. And to you, for letting her know to love her shade of beauty as well, sets a beautiful foundation of love and not judgement, in regards to race.
@@latonyaf1671 No one has to say anyones skin color is beautiful, That's racist.
@@MoarteaLunii what?
I appreciate how she thought her friend skin was beautiful 🥰! For years dark skin wasn’t desirable children pure and innocent 😍
Emmanuel is so well spoken and is able to express our problems in such a beautiful and exact manner i could listen to him talk for hours. PLEASE WE NEED A TED TALK
These videos and your candid conversations are like a breath of fresh air. Thank you for your work in helping to bridge the gap between the black and white community. You are helping all of us learn how to "be the change we want to see in the world."
You have such a great way of telling stories and using metaphors to help deepen understanding ❤️ look forward to the next video!
Yes, and that he is open and blunt.
He is definitely the one for this conversation right now. 😊
Every episode exposes to me, my vast ignorance and complacency. It hurts, but I need the knowledge to become a better person.
LV Mccoy great to hear brotha 👍🏾
Ikr
Where can I sign up for Emmanuel's Masterclass on analogies? These some of the most insightful I have ever listened to.
Definitely!
Emmanuel is awesome......he's very good on FS1 with Wiley on Speak for yourself
Me Too!! The analogies are key parts of what he's saying and I've found all of them exceptional!
Same.
Thank you Emmanuel for having these discussions with multiple groups of people. If we continue to spread these discussions in love and for change... I too, see hope for our future! Respect you brother!!!
Emmanuel, you use such effective and powerful analogies to help me understand. Each analogy brings such light and clarity to what you are saying. Keep going!
That's the single best explanation I've heard of why it's better not to be colorblind. I've never really understood why that could be a bad thing until now.
Unity in diversity
Same here!
Agree
@@Stray7 That's so good, and so real.
@@Stray7 *uni versity* education is the answer to everything
As an Irish lad who is not into sport, this is my first time seeing anything to do with Emmanuel. He is an inspiration and am I glad to have seen this. So Glad CZcams recommend the first video in the series
@Blow Me here we go...😏
@@sharonevans5186 What, you don't like dialogue? Yes, here it goes.
Blow Me/ Don’t be emotionally manipulated into analyzing oneself to see if they’re part of the problem? Don’t be emotionally manipulated into growing as a person and seeing a different race as fellow humans? And what stats are you referring to?
@Blow Me why do you feel threatened?
@@veryroman4066 I would like to have a discussion with this man. We would have to agree on a few big 'T' truths, to begin.
First: Black Africans have more culpability for the 'black diaspora' than any other demographic.
Second: White Europeans ended international slave trade in 1837. The US lost 650,000 white men fighting a war to end slavery in 1860's, while there is still a thriving slave trade for black Africans in Africa to this day.
Third: You want reparations... ?
Beg/browbeat/threaten the Africans, not the White Man and see how that works out for you..
I'm not uncomfortable... Are you..?
What a fantastic interview. So glad you got Chip, Joanna and their beautiful family on this show. God bless you 👍🏾
Great program...look forward to more.
Thank you Chip and Joanna and kids!
They are working on writing more scripts.
Propaganda isn't as easy as you may think.
Emmanuel, your explanation of "water and electricity" was beautiful and every time I watch these, I learn something...amazing job.
As a white man I must remember that. I am not to be afraid of black people just cautious. Water and Electricity if they mix will be lethal.
That was actually a very sad analogy, and honestly, I thought that was just advocating for segregation. It doesn’t have to be lethal. We just need to see how much better we are together!
@nt mn no, think of it more like the human body which is the perfect unity of water and electricity. They need each other and work in harmony to move us forward.
@Nicole Elle Padron how so?

"I don't like colour-blindness ... colours and cultures are beautiful." So good. Thanks!
Oh man! Thanks so much y'all. That was beautiful. I appreciate Emmanuel sharing the dog analogy. Really helped me see the need for me to make sure I don't just keep my kids around white folk. I also appreciate Emmie's question. Thanks so much everyone!
Make sure you watch the advertisements to make sure that Emmanuel gets paid for his wonderful work. Mr. Acho, thank you for helping us all feel closer with one another! Big Hugs from a white woman!
Emmanuel, love your new CZcams series! I would love to see you have a conversation with a teacher to discuss how we as educators can work toward more just and inclusive classrooms and schools. Thanks for all you're doing.

I think having this family together on this stream is so powerful. They have a strong following and their presence is wonderful modeling for those who’ve had a hard time contemplating these questions. You’re doing an amazing job giving your perspective with analogies that we all can follow. Thank you.
Best videos on CZcams- thank you for these conversations.
You're so wise man! I love your videos! I get choked up everytime! Thank you for what you're doing 🙇♀️
I was so confused when this showed up in my feed, but I’m quite happy it did.
A bit of a critique Emmanuel: Talk to the kids. Most of the time your attention was on the parents when answering questions, but the kids need to be 'seen', too. Such as when their daughter asked "Are you afraid of white people?" you answered to the parents rather than directly to the daughter. I think it's good to include kids directly, rather than talk like they aren't there. Otherwise, solid conversation.
njgarner They have ears and their time as an adult will come.
@@thedialogue9545 that is such a bad attitude towards children. They should not be secondary.
I wish the kids have asked a lot more questions, other than grownups applauding to their own ideas and actions... If I hear one more "OOOOOOOH MAAAAAAAN THAT IS POWERFUL", I will cut my ears off...
@@esikazemese lol. So true. People in general, not just hear regard children almost as if they aren't intelligent beings and of course they are and don't need to be pandered to.
The Dialogue Body Language ew that’s like telling anyone under 18 to not worry about politics because “their time will come” it’s incredibly important for them to be apart of the conversation so they can be apart of the change
Thank you so much for doing this it is truly needed! I support your mission anything I can do to help I am willing.. Good Luck! Be Blessed! Praying for you.
This was an excellent conversation! It made me think in different terms which changed my perspective. Keep up the conversations, please!
I was hoping to hear about Joanna’s perspective/experience on race as a biracial woman. Cut for time, clarity, ..?
Yeah me too!! I wanted to hear about Joanna's perspective on racism. I wanted to know if she relates in any way? Or had or have experienced racism herself?
I didn't realize she is biracial... Interesting
Rakisha Cooper She’s half Korean :-)
Here's a little bit of what you wanted :)
czcams.com/video/t7iPEDnqwm0/video.html
Her father is half Lebanese, and half German and her mother is full Korean.
“There is a beauty in color and there’s a beauty in culture”. I agree! Chip gets it too!
You are an inspiration - please keep these conversations going.
Thank you for starting these conversations
I hope Joanna also teaches her kids about her Asian background ("I love hearing all the guesses," she responded to a fan's question about her ethnicity in a Q&A on her blog. "Although I did play Pocahontas in high school, I am not Native American. My father is half Lebanese/half German and my mother is full Korean.")...i like these episodes but i rather hear what the guest(s) have to say...i want to hear more of their opinion and thoughts...
I thought the same thing.
I’m sure she does, but that wasn’t the topic of the show.
I believe she still keeps her Asian culture alive, at least in her cookbooks she has some Asian recipes she learned from her mother.
What about their European background?
S you missed the point
Such eloquence and empathy. I love listening to these conversations.
OMG I just ran across this and I’m amazed! I’ve always said the biggest problem is that we want have “a conversation” with each other! Bravo 👏🏾 for this idea and your responses are so Great and hold so much power!
This is so remarkable!!!!! This is what we need! Thank you Sir
"There's a beauty in seeing color". So true. Love this series, thank you.
I don't think I'll ever stop having questions and I hope i continue to learn for the rest of my life!! Mr. Acho you do an amazing job with this platform and your guests are great!! I can't wait for the next one and I hope these never stop!! Take care and be safe!!
I hope these children 'scatter these seeds' along their life paths amongst their friends and within their own families and gndchildren in the future. ❤💯
I'm loving these videos, man. Keep up the great work and amazing dialogue.
I gotta say I love how you use real life situations as metaphors for what you’re trying to explain. It’s a great way for people to truly understand the point you’re trying to get across. Great job man.
That’s only because he can’t really answer the question clearly, so he uses a metaphor to try and connect it with some irrelevant In animate concepts like water and electricity. Black people are white people are not like water and electricity. We’re both human, the same biological structure. Water and electricity are COMPLETELY different on a molecular level.
jazzyjake99 the point of a metaphor is to COMPARE not pretend like it’s the exact same.
_n0ctivagant_ What’s the point of comparing a force and an element with political structures? You can’t.
Exactly lol
jazzyjake99 just saying “you can’t” doesn’t really make a great argument. comparison is just another rhetorical strategy to make things more understandable and it clearly works on most people or it wouldn’t exist.
He is so well spoken and wise. His answers almost sound like he had prepared it before the questions were even asked.
they probably were😂
Emmanuel I Appreciate you! Thank you for these videos.
the analogy was soooooooo amazing and well put together!
Emmanuel: h-
Chip & Joanna: 👁️👄👁️ w o w
heh I was thinking the same thing the whole time
Yeah it's like they've never heard this before. I was so annoyed by them
Smh. They’ve probably haven’t heard this before they probably don’t have many black friends and that’s okay... learning is okay ignorance isn’t
They're actively listening and responding, why is there such a need to mock their efforts and actions when they're just trying to do something good
I know, I was like guys, hold back on some of those woahs and wows and just listen. I do think that they are probably a little nervous and you know, uncomfortable too and that might also be why...like a tick?
He is so well thought and spoken every thing he says I’m like “Amen!”
Tom Swain why do you say that?
Dude what? Ur just mad he spoke truth. He said nothing negative or wrong, yet u decided to watch his video giving him profits and waste ur time by commenting. Get a life
Tom Swain - So, does that mean that just because someone is a celebrity that he or she must be silent? That he or she can’t be intelligent? That he or she can’t have an opinion or aspiration for social justice? It makes me sad that it seems like you want people to limit themselves to one box, to be one dimensional people. I would ask you to not limit yourself or others in that way.
@Tom Swain Why does being a celebrity devalue his experiences and opinions?
Tom Swain are u talking about Emmanuel? Or chip?
I don't recall adding this video to my watch later, somehow I did. I love this soo much! Thank you! Subscribed!
Thank you for doing this. It is your calling in this time. It is touching, beautiful, and imperative. Thank you.
Dialogue, open dialogue is what will get us closer to a world with equality. It all starts with opening your hearts and ears to others' perspectives to understand where they're coming from
Yeah... the parents said something like that after the backlash about their homophobic church, but not sure they’ve actually entered into any dialogue with the LGBT community
Brian T because we really need to have a dialogue with less than 10% of the population. Sure Jan.
@@jazzyjake99 Why, yes. Yes we do.
I completely love the series. And I can't believe you got my favorite couple on here! What a great convo! Wish it was longer those were some good questions and answers.
Wow, this is really powerful… I really think more people need to hear you speak. I thank you
The analogies he provides are amazing. I could listen to him all day. We need more people to listen to him.
Thank you, Emmanuel, for this series. Needed. Profound. Honest. Safe.

Ugh...... This is generalizing an entire group of people as dangerous based simply off their race..... That's racist, right?
This part of his dream hasn't happened yet.
@@thomasray lol. So true and it happens TO Black people everyday. As a result Black people live our lives a certain way when interacting with certain people, until proven otherwise. I'm sure there are White people who would say the same thing. It's called xenophobia.
@@thomasray yup.
Please, don’t let him know what kind of man is now in the White House....a man with no honor, no character, no morals, no sense of empathy at all for others.
They should show these in schools. All police training facilities should also undergo special training and have these sessions. Racisism is everywhere in our country unfortunately. On ALL sides. People need to except each other and condemn the sin that was slavery. Even the Bible mentions it and addresses it as taking a "miracle" to resolve. Today's miracles comes from what's in our hearts and we need more societal changes to learn what it means to treat ALL as humans. ❤️
Acho, thank you very much for this work. I am learning so much about the issues but more importantly how to do my part in the path of social justice. Thank you.
“If water and electricity mix”...
“Wow” lol
"...and have a negative reaction..." seems to be an important clause you're missing.
These two use wow too much.
I always say that during uncomfortable conversation too.
Wow
I truly appreciate this interview, but this particular analogy makes no sense to me. Two black people can have a negative reaction, as well as two white people. It's not a 'wow' moment, nor is it profound... if a white person was to have the same answer about black people, that person would be considered a racist. Hmmmm. I like Emmanuel. Well spoken and thoughtful; I have been saying the same thing about 'color blind' for years. I am married to an immigrant from the Philippines, and I absolutely agree we need to appreciate the colors and cultures that make us unique.
He's sucking up too hard lol.
I think he's trying to find an example they can understand, but that one doesn't bear out under scrutiny. Electrocution is what we are trying to avoid!
This was another great episode. Would love to see more conversations with kids of all ages.
How about we stop trying to indoctrinate identity politics into kids and just let them be....kids.
jazzyjake99 I’m all for letting kids be kids, but I also know they hear a lot of things and sometimes feel confused. Oftentimes, kids won’t ask questions unless encouraged to do so. It’s our job as Adults to educate them. Also, I’m interested in hearing what they have to say because if actually listened to they may just educate us!
@@jazzyjake99 because childhood is about learning what is socially acceptable and what is not? What does 'let kids be kids' even mean? This is when they are supposed to learn and grow and start to form the foundation for their morals and values of adulthood. Let them talk to people of other cultures and races. Let them ask the questions that come to their minds. Kids are supposed to explore and be curious. So yes I applaud these parents for absolutely 'letting their kids be kids.'
I love this so much that I wish this episode was a little longer 👏🏾👏🏾
This is very needed!! Great video!
