Great video.

It seem like a really cool place

Probably staring at you because you are extremely handsome.

Your algud my brother. Trust me im Maori and I can tell you most kiwis are just curious NOT racist at all. All countries have bad people but 95% most people in my country are genuinely friendly.

I'd stare at you because you're beautiful. And I'm older, I probably wouldn't be shy ~ I would most likely walk right up to you and say hello 😁 I love the way you pronounce Aotearoa ❤ It's late, but Welcome, haere mai ❤

It is beautiful but I don’t think I would have made it up there without many stops on the way 😆

Beautiful places. I hope you two didn’t get sick after eating food from Seven Eleven. Maybe the wine coated your stomachs. 🤣😂

I think if you are moari you might have a different experience with the New Zealand police

I wanna study and discover this beautiful country but it’s scary to think some people might get angry because of the color of my skin

Bonjour, Conversations. insane ~ 🤗

Beautiful, so glad you enjoyed ❤

Went there with my sister in the 90s. It was magical.

I've been to both Canada and New Zealand. My experience is that New Zealand is one of the most beautiful, laid back, chill and inclusive places I have ever been. Canada on the other hand, when it comes to racism is more like America light, about just as racist, but not as open and profound.

When y'all eventually return, to NZ. Hopefully u & ur husband experience a more, happy & safe life. My apologies for the ugly & uncomfortable moments!! Aloha atu(much luv) & GB!!!..... see y'all soon 😊

A man with husband

Bruthaaa I'm Maori and started asking this african lady in pizza hutt where she was from, she seemed abit stand-off ish at first but I used dat polynesian charm and eventually she just started telling me all about where she's from and stuff it was pre cool. I wanted to ask for her number but she was alot older than me prob thought I was just some young hoodrat maori boy lol She looked like an actual model from a magazine or tv or sumn

Dont be offended when you are in NZ, as many store as a standard, have someone at the door checking for proof of purchase regardless of what race you are. Guess this is happening because of the huge jump in store thefts the past years.

I think people were staring at you as you are very handsome and exotic looking.

Canadian and US police are notorious for attempting to intimidate people of color. It is not merely that many officers are demonstrably racist. Their brutality, their ever present threat of brutality, their endless acts of unwarranted hostility, and their harassment, are all meant to intimidate, stress, and discourage the freedom of movement of people of color; meant to undermine our peace of mind. Additionally, many north american "peace officers" make it very clear that they really only intend to "protect and serve" whites. But, worse than the racist officers are the silently violent white masses who enable their kin to abuse their power, century after century. It is reprehensible. It is shameful. It represents a complete lack of morality and fellowship, emanating from a people who claim to adhere to Judo-Christian values.

Thanks for sharing. BTW, there is no need to preface your life experience with any qualifiers or caveats.

This should be about having a nose ring in Canada or NZ rather than colour😊

We want people like you to come and live in New Zealand.

Gorgeous getaway to celebrate 🥂. Congratulations to you both. Your channel just appeared on my You Tube so I have begun watching your videos! ❤❤

❤❤❤

Hope you and your husband find your way back to NZ soon take care m8

Beautiful winter wonderland. Thanks for sharing 🤩🤩🤩

Happy anniversary! great milestone!

Kia ora or Hello if you came to Aotearoa/NZ & a random person said to you hey what’s up my N….. it depends on the tone they used, & it usually could be a kind way of acknowledging your culture not realising it’s offensive to you, because if they say it often to their friends it is a kind gesture from them to you. They may not realise it could be insensitive towards you. Not sure if this helps. But racism is all over the World. For me personally it’s how we will react to the gesture? I would question their behaviour? Of why they said it? If it was intentionally I would pray that one day a person like you may save their life & they will change their point of view of how they view people like you? Always encourage my kids to never belittle anyone whether they be brown, white or black. Hope this helps. Our kids learn this type of behaviour we are never born with it. ❤😊

Cuzzy, when us Polynesians stay in the sun too long... watch us go dark as bro. My great grandparents were darker than you my bro. I'm a half baked Maori but if I get in the sun often I easily tan and eventually darken up. Welcome to Aotearoa. ❤

Sorry for those horrible experiences bro. I am a fellow African currently living in Japan. Please hoe can I come over to new Zealand easily?

Thanks for sharing your vacation and happy you all got back safe.🙏🏽🙏🏽

Maori here welcome to aotearoa bro .

it's funny how black people always use the race card... I'm a pakiha {white} Kiwi. I used to get harassed by the cops all the time, walking down the street , sitting in a park etc etc. and It was never because I was black. I was just a bit goth/punk looking. and NZ police are not so nice. I've Known punks that have been beaten up by cops, again, not because they are black. cops have come into music gigs and beaten and harassed everyone, not because we are black. we mostly are not black. white people in England, Canada , Europe, USA and Australia and many other places, get harassed and beaten just because they look a bit different.

Wow! Beautiful Raph! LP's "hey guys" at the start of the video made me lol. "exhausted, you're so dramatic." "I'm not dramatic!" lol. So cool and so fun.

Nice video

All the best. As graceful as you are gutsy. Hugs...

Beautiful, especially the night shots 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Love those old buildings, thanks for sharing. You must get hubby to say hi.

How do you think it'd be for a single gay black man, in NZ? Wanting to move from the US. Can I bring plants?

There is certainly racism in NZ but it more individuals that are like that it is not so much institutionalised, if you are discriminated against and report it the authorities will treat it seriously which I believe is not the case in some countries. I would love to see more people of African descent in NZ as a more diverse society is a better society

Nice video

Yes this has me wanting to take a visit to Germany. Did you find any foods the made an impression on your palette😊

Happy new year

happy new year!!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤩🤩🤩

Black Don't Crack

well as we're talking victimhood I'd like to see something about being white in Africa

I think something that is important to remember is that police are often looking for various people due to recent crimes. If you fit the profile - young male with dark skin etc - they may need to confirm you are not the person they are looking for. That is unavoidable and it is not due to racism. There is no way to avoid this in my opinion since police are often under very severe time pressure to catch criminals on the run. They need to balance how they aprehend these people with how much they make the general public uncomfortable. Very little crime in NZ is committed by men from African origin, mainly because there are so few living in NZ anyway. It is highly unlikely that any NZ police will be actively looking for someone that fits your general profile and so will not show much interest in you. NZ has less problems (so far) with major shoplifting. Also NZ law does not allow security or anyone to physically restrain shoplifters. Stores are installing cameras and asking for police to tresspass serial shoplifters. In Canada, the problem is obviously far worse, and again you unfortunately fit the general profile of those who are committing the crimes. It could be approached differently but I am not sure you would agree other solutions are better. Walmart Canada could require facial recognition and drivers licenses to enter and trespass more people. That would end profiling. In terms of police interactions, obviously if people were given digital IDs that were carried around then police would not even bother looking at who you are because an AI computer would tell them exactly who to target and what level of force to use. I would not like to live in such a world but it would prevent racial profiling. You would be profiled by computer ID.

You should try being a white, blonde haired girl in new zealand....you will be raped and beaten and basically treated like shit for being a decendant of the white colonizers even though none of your relatives were here in the 1800's...all races, all countries have racism...blacks are racist to...humans :( we all bleed red....the stares...lol i get stared at & ive been here since i was 2...people look at people

Black is just so beautiful ❤❤❤.....
