A lot of people in the comments are saying he's rich and Jewish and has leftist parents and that apparently can invalidate what his rhetoric. HE KNOWS HE'S RICH THAT IS WHAT THE POEM'S ABOUT. So what if he's Jewish? (You're not anti-semitic, are you?) His race has nothing to do with his religion. He's expressing obvious leftist ideas, so his parents would likely be liberal. You're expressing conservative ideas, so I would assume that you're parents might be conservative. Also, someone was talking about how even though they're a white male, they are on the poorer side and don't get as many opportunities as the wealthy kids going to that private school. Someone's experiences as an impoverished or lower class person as a white person tend to be different than the daily experiences of a person of color. While you might be looked down upon, demeaned, or ignored, you will likely not be stereotyped for your race. For example, when many people think of a homeless person, a black person usually comes to mind. This is because "slovenliness" and "barbarism" is often associated with black people or other POC. You will most likely not experience racial or sexual discrimination (Black people: being stopped on the sidewalk by police when you are walking alone with your hands tucked in your pockets // Gender: a woman being catcalled while walking alone on the street). Most wealthy POC will experience discrimination because they can't change the way they look no matter their socio-economic class, but a poor white, male won't necessarily always experience discrimination, because even if he does gain wealth, he'll be accepted by society.
Lets see Royce go to an all-black Atlanta public school without mommy and daddy's funds. And lets see you go to China, surround yourself with 1+ billion Chinese, and tell them how they are 'privileged' because you are the minority. They will laugh at you. They are just living their lives, just like anyone else.
this child...Lord!...I cried when I heard his speech...and this interview shows,his passion,intelligence, wisdom,love and appreciation for all humans...his heart is so pure
@@christineblake107way to bus pass OP’s point. Of course this kid can say this so easily because he doesn’t have to pay the price for spreading this rhetoric. He is NOT white and will not be hated by the masses. Search “Metzitzah b'peh” to learn more about this kid and his people.
bro wth y’all ppl in this comments need to get the sense knocked into u what he did was amazing and calling him disgusting for is probably the most disgusting thing I’ve ever read I myself am white and Mexican so I know both sides of the story u don’t so how bout u shut up if u can’t share your opinion in a respectful manner porque “calladita te ves más bonita”😘
the fact that this kid is rich (apparantley from what I heard) AND he is willing to speak for the oppressed, is awesome. Shows you that not all rich people are snobs. I just hope he is doing this out of genuinity and not because he's indoctrinated by the parents, I want this to be his own true genuine opinion
Sandy Gonsalves you are actually right. He just hates white people. He is a Jew and goes to a 28k per year private school. It's sad he doesn't donate to minorities.
Damien Anonymous He's a mutt I'm a mutt 2 He's not Russian he's American. He lives and was born in America so I believe. He's not downing the whites he's simply saying that we all are human we should all be treated the same. All of us should feel safe around policemen all of should get an equal education and he loves that he can enjoy his life not worrying about tomorrow. He knows that we have it rough but he wouldn't choose to leave it. It's like if u have a old bike and a new bike your parents offer you would most likely want the new one and he says that race doesnt select where you will be in 20 years it will just depict how much hard work it will take.
Daisy Barradas He's not even white and saying he white privileged. it's the elephant in the room. GEY THE FUCK OUT OF HERE LOL! This is an attack on the white race. You do realize I'm a black man, right? It's unreal how stupid humans are in 2017.
Thank you, Royce, for being brave, wise, empathetic, passionate, genuine, and contributing true treasure (your words) to the human race. Those beautifully constructed words basically encapsulate the whole issue of race, gender, and economic inequality in a few minutes--wow!! Your poems/spoken word are sublime, inspirational, and you read them with such authentic passion, empathy and humanity. I know you know this, but when things go viral, you of course get trolled by mean, empty people. But, if mean people are saying mean things, and they are saying it against you, than you must be doing something righteous and good. : ) Grownups insulting a 14 year-old? Wow. They might have privilege, but they are always going to be disadvantaged, because they lack empathy and love, something that caring people* everywhere, people of every color, religion, creed, age, etc. have in abundance, and that makes us all so very rich!!! And THAT is the wealth that stays with a person throughout his/her life, and maybe even beyond that. And the beauty is, that it can never be taken away, by anyone! (Having said that, I don't want to minimize what our brothers and sisters of color go through everyday.) * Any human being with love in his/her heart, empathy and who cares about other people The message in your spoken word pieces (to quote Jon Stewart) is inarguable. Thank you again, dear Royce, for sharing this with us!!!!! You are an amazing young man. And thanks to you (again), your parents, your school, your friends, your mentors, and anyone else who has been part of your life journey. You have a GIGANTIC moral compass, and you are awesome.
Aww, dropbearpdx, such a kind-hearted comment! That guy, Royce, IS amazing. I wish to find what it is that makes me unique and work on it in hopes it may impact the lives of people everywhere, in a very positive way. Thanks for sharing your appreciation of that young man and the people who've shaped him, it reaffirms my faith in many people and give me drive to express myself as well as he has...
Love this kid for speaking on his beliefs and talking a stand on racial divide. It's amazing however the comments of hate and trying to define that he's not really white and then speaking on his religious beliefs.
The next generation ain’t having the foolishness. They know what’s up and God is going to use them to break the spirit of division because of racism and here. Awesome young man.
That they teach kids this shit in schools is horrific. It's true that in general, white people have it better in the US. Yes it is because they're born into a white family. But it's not like the system treats white and black people different, apart from the occasional strawman. It's just black people in the US, tends to be the ones living in shit conditions in shit neighbourhoods. Which is something a lot of people, both black and white, have been able to get out of. Only way to fix that thing instantly, would to dismantle the ghettoes, give those poor people a lot of money to get themselves into a decent state so they'd be appropriate as a working force. That's ignoring all the people who would struggle getting into a life like that. All of that would have to be paid for by private investors and donations, which are fair methods. But what this kind of thinking is demanding, is that the system fixes the black community, which would cost a shit-ton for the tax payers, which would be completely unfair.
Well-said. You're obviously not an American based on using OU for neighborhood. I guessed beforehand that you looked British, whatever that means. Not sure if you are Canadian instead but the thing of it is that I live near Chicago and in 1968 when Martin Luther King was murdered, there were riots that burned down stores on the West Side of the city, which by then was about 100% Black. To this DAY that area looked like time has stood still and we have had Democratic mayors all along. I believe that the Illuminati did all of that to coincide with the welfare state ("Great Society" my ass). They wanted Black folks back on the plantation and not owning businesses in their own community.
Right? That was so left-field. I worked in NYC restaurants for years and never once had that happen nor did I ever suspect a black customer would do that. Never even heard that before. That's not a thing in the restaurant industry, totally made up. What *is* a thing is the terrible reputation blacks have for tipping poorly. They deserve that reputation. Even black waiters will admit it.
fake jewish imposters aint no semites, there called ashkenazi for a reason, because they come from Ashkenaz the son of Japeth who is "Shem's" aka Shemite/Semite Brother...so naw they aint no semites there fraudulent imposters period
To anyone and everyone bringing up his personal life that’s the point!! He’s white male that well off is the ULTIMATE PRIVILEGE!!! He’s using that privilege to speak up!!! He’s saying that as a white boy born into a wealth family, he sees what’s going on to P.O.C.ans knows it’s not right!!! Why don’t you!! Y’all are some of the most simple minded people!!!!
My dad grew up not that well off and never knew when the next paycheck would come, he struggled financially for most of his life. He and my mother (both white and from broken familys) did all the paperwork and money and flights and adopted me (black male) from Ethiopia and brought me back to the US. They give the best live ever and I am thankful for that. There is no such thing as white privilege. Only privilege.
All these adults should just feel ashamed for exploiting this young mind that has been manipulated by others about how the world works for entire groups of people. He exploited other peoples race and gender struggles for his own fame. Sure nobody should fear being pulled over. But everyone tenses up when a cop car gets behind them, even if they aren't getting pulled over. This fucking kid isn't even old enough to drive, but again, he isn't old enough to experience that for himself.
"He exploited other peoples race and gender struggles for his own fame."-how ? by talking about it? by being videotaped and having to happen to go viral? I suppose Malala Yousafzai is who talks about giving girls in her country education is exploiting them as well right?

exactly!! people don’t understand the boy’s point in this poem! it’s sad people only are trying to skew his words
So if he's Jewish it means he's not white. You can hide behind anti-Semitic accusations but that won't get you far in any argument.
@@yournewfarther they literally said that his race has nothing to do with his religion..
@@kadieh4988 So? That proves nothing but a personal opinion.
5 years later… he’s 19 (2022)
The world will be okay with individuals like him really speaking and making a true difference

Yawn 😫
Lol 🤡
he is saying he is better than you....have you no pride?
I always get emotional just hearing him talk as a kid and an adult. Still here in 2024
Jummmm.......just an objective observation here......... the young man looks like he is of Middle Eastern descent.
That's correct: He's Jew!
He’s white passinh tho
Who cares. You need to think about what he said.

What a wise and brave young man. Kudos to his parents.
um doesn't look he hates himself. AT all. doesn't look like he's "brainwashed" either, unless you call educated brainwashed.
Sandy Gonsalves you are actually right. He just hates white people. He is a Jew and goes to a 28k per year private school. It's sad he doesn't donate to minorities.
Sandy Gonsalves have you ever met someone who has done any of those things? you must be hanging with the wrong crowd. Or you are a Muslim.
yeah your not worth it. have a nice day. BLOCK!

Well done young man.

Wow so there is discussion and only black people are present... And this is not racist?
You gotta brainwash the easiest way possible. And the Christian Church has been an AWESOME way to brainwash Black folks.
i would vote for that lad

Please support him!
I support honesty. I'm not going to support a fraudster, who claims that he is something that he's not. He's Jew, not white.
Hey you guys know that meme with all those big black dudes standing around a small white girl...
I shared a clip from his 2016 piece on my Tic Toc and the racists went crazy. Received over 900k views and thousands of comments. @amysbestlife
You're anti-white
Don’t say seldom! No one knows what seldom means, say the real word infrequent, that’s just a cop out!!!
Smart boy!! 👏👏👏
Dumbass man. Totally gullible. ^^^^
He has been brainwashed by his leftist parents and education. It’s sickening
Fucking idiot
Marcus Huntsinger i don’t get this what’s bad about him
we need more white boys like him
so you can take over and destroy our societys like you do with every fucking country you and your kind gets majority of?
Problem he's a Jew which means he is not white
Jay Lloyd how bout no
Wow I never assume a black person will steal the silverware in a fancy restaurant. Sounds like Royce is a bit racist

Sure doesn't look white remotely. His weird features like his nose and his olive skin tone. But I'm sure to minorities he's white enough.
such a cute kid
This kid looks like a Syrian refugee
NOOOOO, he is a jew.
Please do not insult Syrian refugees like that.
And you know why? Because he is a Jew, Semite. Semites originate from the Middle-East.
His mother, Sheri Mann-Stewart, is jewish.
