I. love how the interviewer listened intensely and gave her the platform to express herself and speak freely.

Thank you for this interview. Listening to Ms Macias, I wonder how many other African countries have such a story? Grateful to the Father who was wise enough to send his children to Korea and Grateful that the Leader accepted and took care of them. A friend indeed.

Wow amazing story. A very respectful interview with an eloquent and intelligent woman. Her life journey is so compelling. Really gives me a different perspective about political leaders of that time, the historical significance of what her research brought to light, her identity crisis, etc. Will definitely look her book up!

Much admiration for Kim Il Sung. As a black man who lived in South Korea for six years non military and outside of Seoul, I loved the country. I also understand the complexity between the two Koreas and I understand outsiders have interfered in their fate. I have come to understand North Korea's stance as well so hearing Ms. Macias made so much sense. What would any self dignified country do to defend themselves against empire? Exactly what North Korea does. Great interview!

An awesome video. I can listen to Monica all day. She has a very interesting story. You can see her mannerisms and voice is most definitely Asian. I’m on Amazon right now buying the book.

This interview puts the already shameful channel 4 interview further in the hole, great job!

@johnkabuoro6021 Месяц назад

What I can say is post independence in Africa was really tough in that the colonial government didn't leave Africa willingly , most of the founding fathers were once lebeled as Terrorist, most were jailed before ascending to the presidency take for example Nelson Mandela he was labelled a Terrorist till 1998 , this was way after the cold War had ended . Back then most of the founding fathers of post African independence were either overthrown, assassinated or exiled . As a leader in Africa you needed to be a dictator and killer so as to govern . They were battling the remnants of the colonial government on the other end they were battling the difference in ideology of the cold War.

I think an environment influences your appearance she does look very much Korean

@ceciliamungofa7374 3 месяца назад

You didn't ask her about her mom , why?

@Skylightatdusk 2 месяца назад

Was she just leaching off the privilege like many white women in the (neo)colonial era in multiracial relationships ... or helping her husband to move his county forward?
