Racism for Sale – BBC Africa Eye documentary


In February 2020, a shocking video began to circulate on Chinese social media. A group of African children are being instructed, by a voice off-camera, to chant phrases in Chinese. The kids repeat the words with smiles and enthusiasm — but they don’t understand that what they’re being told to say is “I am a black monster and my IQ is…

  1. 🚨 UPDATE: 🇲🇼 A Malawian court has convicted Chinese national Lu Ke on multiple charges including trafficking and procuring children to take part in entertainment. ➡ https://bbc.in/3XYDnia

    Ke was arrested in July 2022, weeks after being exposed in this #BBCAfricaEye documentary for filming local children to make bespoke greeting videos on demand, some of which included racist content.

  2. I thought this party dance thing was just a fun lil thing that gonna send easy money straight to the African content creators so I had liked many of hbd vids of my favorite characters 😭 Never knew this actually some evil racist corporations abuse helpless people

  3. Why the hell isn't the BBC making documentaries about anti-Asian racism during the COVID 19 pandemic? Is it too difficult to say that some black people in the USA are outright racists? That the Chinese are the only ones responsible?

  4. Africa wake up. God gave us this beautiful place, our culture, our space…. Let’s value that. I hear some countries are starting to teach Mandarin as part of the curriculum…. God save Africa. Am upset 😢

  5. Black people didn’t create their selves. I can tell you honestly that racism is the worst sin and evil done under the sun. May God forgive them for they know not what they are doing.🤦🏾‍♂️

  6. I blame our own Black folks for allowing this to happen and for not learning the lessons of White colonialism. The Chinese will completely dominate Africa if the leaders and the citizens don’t wise quickly. What are Black folks waiting for?. Quit looking for assistance from outsiders.

  7. No matter the times or ethnicity. People will be the same. You see it first hand now in this modern time when the west gave up their colonies and started aiming for a better more fair and inclusive future. The weak countries from back then like for example China just picked up where the west left. If China stops it, someone else is gonna start it again. Hate is a neverending cycle that will always be entertained. It's a real tragedy and a rutheless truth.

  8. I recently reposted a video of those men who say happy birthday pookie wookie, and a friend of mine told me how wrong it was and sent me this video. This documentary is super helpful! I'm so sorry you guys are still experiencing racism, and i'm sorry for not noticing! I'm learning from my mistakes and passing on information.

  9. Black child you are on your own. Julius Maleme said it well, black people are the most hated people on earth, so LOVE your brothers and sisters unconditional everywhere.
    1 Africa and African diaspora❤

  10. I hope all of Africa sees this and cracks down on – and reeducates as best as possible – all of these exploiters and racists. Of course, we could say the same thing about every country and every racist there.

  11. Black people are very intelligent smarts very brainy black people are great inventors a lot of the thing we are using today are invented by black peoples. So whoever they are they should Stop! Being Nasty.Toward black people's becsuse we black people's are not persecuting anyone so they why are they doing this to us Black peoples have endured a lot of Sufferinh we bring in Slaves and Colonized and all manners of evils have been done to us Black Peoples.

  12. Africa must just take a stand,come on my fellow Africans we don't need these people, let's come together.
    -one Africa
    -one Army
    -one currency
    -President
    -one passport
    ✊️✊️✊️

  13. i didn't think much of these videos and didn't understand why people were causing such a fuss, but this really horrified me. i hope those children – and anyone else who has fallen victim to this "business" tactic – will heal from it.

  14. Are all or the majority
    of these types of services also exploited? There are also options that feature grown adults, some of which are from all over the world. Or is it mostly the ones featuring children that have been exploited?

  15. This is what happens when we sell ourselves cheap- we got ourselves into this mess by mismanaging our resources and allowed poverty to cast such a big shadow on our continent. Don’t just blame political leaders,blame the society that keeps producing such leaders. What a shame!
