  1. Can you make a video about Antara son of Shaddad
    The afro-arabian and one of the greatest poets and warriors in the history of the Arabs, please?

  2. Years ago, when i went to japan…the ppl i stayed with rubbed my skin, wondering if i was too dirty, or if i was painted over… one old lady, even put our wrists side to side, just to look and see….

    I personally found it amusing, instead of racist…because it made me realize that most of them have likely never seen someone of my skin tone before, like…ever…

    Makes sense too, seeing as in japan, i counted about at most…15 or less ppl of my skin tone(3 of whom included me and the ppl i went on a trip with)

  3. In the end I like it shows not him being brought to the church in chains but going willingly and the priest welcoming him with open arms, he was given his freedom by oda perhaps he just stayed at the church for the rest of life

  4. I'm sick of hearing about this guy. He was no true Samurai, he surrendered at the very end of his "military career" and didn't die honorably. He was an overhyped joke. A coward whom willingly laid down his sword for his worthless life – and we honor him. Just a sign of the times, how backwards people are.
    "Rather than be executed, Yasuke was exiled to the Jesuit mission in Kyoto. Some accounts state that this was because Yasuke surrendered his sword rather than committing Seppuku."
    Bring on the generic ineducable creatures that will call me a racist for stating fact. A TRUE Samurai knew when to die honorably.

  5. When are you going to make the story of the Great Unifiers of Japan just like you made Yasuke – The Story of the African Samurai?

  6. Wow. That was great became a samurai warrior. Which reminds me like Afro Samurai made by Yasuke. Great story of the African Samurai. I just love that show like Samurai Jack.

  7. 🌟🌟😲🌟🌟 to this Day I still Can't believe a brother become a samurai It's So incredible

  8. The legacy this is so important as a African man this makes me so proud Yasuke is awesome

  9. I remember Yasuke was exiled by Akechi after Oda Nobunaga's death considering him not as a person but as an animal… Oda Nobunaga even with his brutality and his horror tactics, considered Yasuke as a friend.

  10. The only african samurai there is is the ankle breaking shogun from the mid west, Cory freaking Kenshin

  11. So he's the Black Panther of Samurai Universe and he was respected by the Majority of the land who never heard of Africans

  12. Which one day he will return to fight again along side with the gods of smite battle ground of the gods

  13. Even if I feel glad that he wasn't forced to commit seppuku, it is incredibly saddening the he had to help in his friend's execution, couldn't protect his lord's son, and instead was just exiled, not considered worth their rituals.
