    My mom is mixed race she’s also from Glasgow . She came to the USA in the 70’s it’s just as bad even worse in the southern USA where she chose to live she became a cop there. But she decided to ignore what others thought and shine at her job and she’s the best mom I could have asked for. I’m proud to have her as my mother. My father (rip dad) and all 5 of my older siblings were all born and raised in South Carolina . I would love to visit Scotland just once before I go. I’m 25 and my sister died 3 months ago. Car crash. Dad died of cancer and moms still here thankfully. She is still a police woman she’s 68 and from Glasgow also. She’s been here nearly 50 years or 50+ years. Is proud to be Scottish and loves America also I just subscribed . And liked your video I’ll sub on my other channel.

      @@jamesbaker9106 There’s no evidence to support systemic racism and I don’t see anyone being oppressed. This is coming from a black guy, it’s annoying to see everyone protesting over the few times something bad happens to someone black. There’s plenty of similar situations happening to other races and nobody is making as big a deal about it. These situations are far and few between, only reason everyone hears about them is because the minority are being the loud and starting riots trying to convince the majority there’s a bigger issue.
