“I was born black I will die black I just don’t want to die because I’m Black”
-
If society doesn't want an angry black man, then society needs to stop creating them. We need to grow up as a society.
-
As a Black Woman I really appreciate how you responded, many wouldn't have even tired to respond. This is why I look forward to your videos every day.
-
"Because my skin tone isn't viewed as a weapon" Man, that cuts deep.
-
This black brother’s agony and pain is palpable. Brought tears.
-
"Just because I prefer peace doesn't mean I forgot how to be violent", this is well said.
-
Something that I enjoy doing: When a white person says "you speak so well", I always reply "As do you...surprisingly so."
-
Beau, I’m a 38 year old black man and watching this felt like having a beer with my oldest best friend who really really gets it. Can’t wait until the next one my friend. Keep the thoughts coming.
-
If the questioner starts his own youtube channel, I'd give him a follow.
-
Beau, I appreciate your honesty. One thing that African Americans don’t like is someone with a “white savior” complex. I think you know what I mean by that. In this video you are showing us that you are not the white man with all the answers and it is very much appreciated.
-
"my skin tone isn't viewed as a weapon..." such a simple phrase, but means so much. Love your content brother! Truth and positivity 🤜🏾
-
His anguish is proof of his humanity, and his tormentor's lack thereof. Solidarity my friend, the struggle is real.
-
Nobody notices when you're being provoked, only when you retaliate. Then the provocateur plays the victim, and you're punished for retaliating.
-
"Because my skin tone isn't viewed as a weapon..." That small statement, within the bigger message, made me cry. I'm am so worried for humanity....
-
“My skin tone isn’t viewed as a weapon” stopped me cold. I can’t relate to this situation. Can’t imagine how it feels. One thing I can do is say I believe it exists. Validate it. Try my best to raise a child who sees and acknowledges the injustices as well. And hope the next generation will do better than mine has.
-
Sharing how that man felt was the best response that you could’ve given. People need to understand how dangerous racism can be. Thanks Beau🙏🏾
-
As a 39 year old Black Veteran, I think I like this answer more than anyone you could've tried to give.
-
I'm with Beau. My heart goes out to black men caught in this toxic minefield. The fact that more have NOT fallen into this trap is a testimony to the character of these men and how much white Americans can stand to learn from their fortitude.
-
Beau said "I don't see them sitting on me until I'm dead," and "My skin tone isn't viewed as a weapon," and I broke and teared up. I needed to see this video, after constantly being accused of reverse racism and race card-playing in the Comment sections. Well-spoken again, Beau! God bless! ✊🏿

As a kid I was told by my racist grandfather, and several other racists, never to say "sir" or "ma'am" to black people, but to always say it to white people. Ever since then I've made it a point to say "sir" or "ma'am" to black people whenever I can, as a sign of respect.
