- As I reflect on the current state of our country, I feel compelled to use my platform as a place to express myself. I’ve held back on this because I’ve felt that my opinion did not matter. I’ve also felt as though my opinion would not be shared by others. This was not an easy video to make for that very reason. We all have opinions. And some of our opinions may me different than one another. This video is MY opinion. However, there is no secret that we are in desperate need of change. A wise man once said, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” Thank you all for watching.

I don’t know how I came to be your subscriber but it is all well and good. I know your parents are so proud of their son. You are a strong and intelligent man. I need my 14 year old son and my 24 year old son to listen to your experience and knowledge of what you have to share. Thank you for using your platform to share your thoughts on what matters to us. May God bless and protect you from negative forces. May this video message get through to all lives and bring forward positive changes in them. Love ❤️ , Peace ✌️ and Unity keep being who you are. Tmama is here.
I really felt this and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I hear everything you’re saying and agree with everything you said 100%
To my King: Much love, honor, support, and respect on this journey of life. Thank you for your example to us as ....
Been here since 6 years ago, while still continue to watch and support you bro. 🐐
Love to see you speaking your mind Rio. Thank you for sharing this with us, we're proud of you and will always support you!
Wow nice message, Rio, thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏 much respect and your POV are so relatable once you can read a person , people and or group you move different even amongst your own . You on point every word .
Thanks for sharing your experience and journey. Hope things will change. Greetings and respect from Argentina. I love your channel!
I wish this video was viral! Great content.
I appreciate your candidness. It takes great courage to give an unpopular opinion. Keep being you my brother. Your laid back personality is the reason I watch everything you put out!
Wow, I take my hat off with you, Rio. I could watched for one more hour listening to you. It was really touching and you were honest and very articulate. By the way, I haven’t watched the George Floyd video either, for the same reasons.
Rio I'm so thankful that you made this, it made me think deeper on racial injustice in America, and your speaking out made me form a full opinion I had only bare minimum idea on all of this. I never took any of these problems to much consideration, it was very powerful for me to hear you talk on this, I'm happy that you spoke your truth and expierance.
Thanks, Rio. Producing contemporary video is a delicate negotiation between vision & ethics--a chess game you seem to have mastered. PEACE
My brother this is well articulated. A lot of what you said I agree with. I remember when I policed in a city in metro Atlanta. A little ceasar had got robbed. They told us that it was blk male in his late teens early 20s wearing a white tshirt and black shorts. We watch the video and we were actually looking for a white Male with red hair. And every call that comes out the public always say it's a young black Male. At times when i hear calls come out a breathe a sye of relief when I hear it's not a black man. Brother I enjoy your content keep it going.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on that subject which is quite important in regards of what’s going on right now across USA and across the world. As a black man thanks god I never experienced racism as it is in USA... as in France society is a bit different, even tho racism is real, when you look for a job an appartement and so on.. but as you said risks is constant, in USA everywhere across streets, public area, even at home where you are supposed to be safe, you can be killed by crazy cops... Obama tried as much as he cud, to bring ppl together and break this racism time, but the clown that is running US, ruined the whole work.. giving voice to all racisme across USA... I feel very sad for all those ppl who were shot for free, and for all black community, but God does see and knows what’s going on, and will revenge all this injustice...GOD BLESS Y’ALL..💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼👊🏾 Greeting from France 🇫🇷
Salute G, bro 33 is young and we always been treated bad as black men in amerikkka period.
Smart man. We probably don’t agree with a lot of things, but you realize truth. Respect
Thanks for taking the time out to make this video, I really appreciate it. Much love my brotha 🙏🏾

Hey bro. I hate to break it to you. But that first story about you on the bike isn’t racism. It’s cops being cops. The same exact shit happened to my dad. He got pulled over because his car and description matched of a suspect who had just committed a crime near by. He was laying on the pavement in the middle of a street with 4-5 white cops guns drawn being handcuffed. After they realized the got the wrong guy they let him go, apologized. And he’s as white as can be. Sorry my dude but we chalked it up as a cops being cops and unfortunately some people think this is racism. Didn’t watch the rest of the vid because you truly lost me after that story. Still Love your content. But can’t co-sign on this. You have the right I feel and think how you wish though.
Do not judge yourself through the eyes of the others
The insane only thoughts himself has the ability to protect himself from people talking

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:16-18
I’m Hispanic, and I can’t make the same mistakes as Black people do, Asian people do, and as White people do! I’ve known quite a few Hispanic people who have been stereotyped by other races and law enforcement...I have a good friend who is an indigenous 100% Mexican, we went to a restaurant one time and we were barely noticed given some water after 15 minutes of sitting there, they never came back, we walked out, did not make a scene and went to eat somewhere else.
Edit: let me add this, I respect your point of view, but what makes it awful for the human race is that people are too dogmatic on either side and that’s what makes it harder for all of us who get up in the morning, go to work to take care of our families, normal hard working people who don’t worry about superficial perceptions, but about our internal character.
This ain't it chief...... 🤦🏾♂️
What ain't it?
