Racism for Sale – BBC Africa Eye documentary
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…

🚨 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.
You need to make an investigation about young girls impregnated by chinese in Africa. You can start from Uganda in a district called Hoima
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
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?
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 😢
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.🤦🏾♂️
Amazing journalist. Thanks for bringing this to light.
I felt so proud of this journalist and her determination.. best part her cussing him out in Chinese.. Job Well Done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
“He just needs to leave the village. As soon as possible.” I wish they let the father take care of business.
Sickening the way he tried to use racism against Chinese to deny her claims while he himself profit off racism against African
this is a great and interesting piece! keep up the great videos
Thank you ❤.
"global problem" nah man this is barely a chinese problem. Stop elevating your pet problems to a national level.
I can also trace places like that, i traced a video back then in wimbe
Umm bbc you forgot to tell your audience about the reason it exists
I have to say.. how come someone can be racist? The black people are the most beautiful ones walking on this planet ❤
Amazing documentaryt. I'm proud of Runako Celina
You guys are indeed low iq. What a convoluted way to reach him when you could have sped this up very easily
This is one of the most vile things I have ever witnessed. Thank you, Runako Celina and Henry Mhango for uncovering this disgrace.
For me it was her Chinese perfect
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.
Yes, it's very big, you can't be friends with other people, I'm an Asian, I also make friends with fellow Asians
This reminds me of a Tiktok account that has something similar to this method.
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.
Not even white nationalism could be this racist
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.
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❤
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.
Kick him out of that country
Where’s their government?
Child abused
I blame their parents who trusted this fools!
Who allowed this children to deal with this fools? Arrest those people bringing shame to their country
Their government should be ashamed
Whoever did that video needs to be arrested
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.
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
✊️✊️✊️
Dem.. at least i now witch croutry is the most racist croutry 🇨🇳.
For a yellow thing, how is he not beaten black and blue? Would be better color for him!!!
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.
The way these are still being posted on TikTok is crazy
No, 黑#鬼 is not just "black monsters", it means the n word, absolute disgrace
Why they cant operate it themselves 🙁 i think there's still genuine people who like the concept purely without any of the racist context
people will make the most eye opening and informal documentaries and then proceed to not add closed captions
Awesome journalism!!!
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?
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!
Your image of China in Africa, where you praised it, is more racist and dangerous that the videos you are denouncing.
