Some Africans (immigrants) don't get along w/Black people? Pt 2

[egbigan]

can we one day (black intellectuals) (like in the 60's) start creating stuffs (engineering) instead of wondering what a young and poor Ethiopian chick think about us. ? Ormaybe our mental ability will only allow us to be critical toward one another ?

By the way, in west-Africa people don't talk about tribe no more. It's all about science,economy innovation and technology ...NIGERIA just send their first satellite to the orbit successfully . Learn about the world BLACK-AMERICA..

[monique052001]

Not really, because no one really gives a fuck about you like that! How long ago was this post made, psychopath? I dont even remember exactly what i said but i find your anger entertaining, and proof that OUR opinion in fact matter to YOU. Well, thanks for the laugh, now go pop a pill with your crazy dramatic ass! Yea, im not surprised that you are mixed race, lol.

[monique052001]

Not really, because no one really gives a fuck about you like that! And i really don't give shit about Africa because im not one, I'm an American. Oh that's right! You assumed that i gave a fuck lol. How long ago was this post made, psychopath?

[monique052001]

Africans are all related somewhere down the line, before countries where carved up and renamed and it doesn't take a whole three paragraphs to state the obvious. I dont even remember exactly what i said but i find your anger entertaining, and proof that OUR opinion in fact matter to YOU. Well, thanks for the laugh, now go pop a pill ya crazy dramatic tard! im not at all surprised that you are mixed race or biracial or whatever you call your selves.

[peopleplacethings]

Good video

[peopleplacethings]

I think on different aspects your right but in some blacks both foreign and domestic need to really have dialogue

[peopleplacethings]

I meant for most of them

[peopleplacethings]

For most of they come here focus on what they we as American blacks can't seem to focus and know we need each other to get ahead

[Liliworld627]

As far as the Akat situation, I feel that she was straight up hating. Shes just like the blck dudes backing her up are all bitter and resentful toward blk women and this was a way for her and them to talk crap about the CHICKEN HEADED women that they've personally CHOSEN to deal with. I didnt hear her say any crap about Beyonce, or Oprah, Janet Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Jada Pinkett, Gabrielle Union, Sanaa Lathan, etc. so she was full of hot air and upset that her boyfriend loves Blk women. LOL

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

i had to take a step back and see it for what it really is.. These are a very LOST people, its not their fault they are lost, life has dealth them this card but again with the ignorance being peddled as fact and all cloaked in whatever white america "thinks" . about africans, personally i dont give a shit about what any of them thinks but i notice , that when the blacks attack us and then a whiteman attacks us they come in hollaring ! lol! waving jessie jacksons phone number on speed dial.

[kievoo5veron]

i am african and most of my friends are african american but sometime african american treat u like crap .i m not judging this is my piont there are 2types of african american .niggers and black american.african get alone with black american not with nigger.we do the same thing u guys do .just respect u african brother and he will give u the same respect back

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

@kievoo5veron that simple premis is something they find it so difficult to understand , calling us "pets " ?wtf? , to be honest, it was only when i started using the internet that i realised the schism and conflict . i have travelled to the us from the mid nineties onwards but because we tend to stick to our own people you never really got to see what they were thinking about us, it was much later when i saw the comments about we were "booty scratchers, spear chucking blue gum monkey" that

[judel5]

As an African I must say (and this is from first hand experience), that African Americans sometimes display a lot of ignorance.....not the kind that you talk about in your pathetic video, but the kind that fails to understand Africans in general and instead takes this unnecessarily defensive attitude towards everybody including Africans. For your information, nobody hates you, and no one looks down on you. Rather we look up to African Americans in many ways. Y'all inspire us in many ways.

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

@judel5 this is quite true, on both counts.. the aggression , defensive attidutes, threats, and belligerence is mindnumbing , the attdutes of some of them on here beggar belief and the whiney self rightousness beyond all comprehension . dont even talk about the cloning .the "ifambeinghonest "channel belongs to princenoiramerican who will come on and minge as a "nigerian " but as he yammers on you get to know that he is NOT . lol! so funny .. yes, i do admire those of them who have done SOMETHING

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

to help their own people and inspire humanity.. the likes of martin luther king, malcomx and other people like that come to mind.. but dont talk about the present day "leaders" they are a joke.. its all about a media opportunity they all looked so dumbfounded and lost when obama took the oath in 2009 .. lol! i wouldnt be wasting time saying the obvious though , they have their issues issues that we cant do anything about here.

[judel5]

@SuperQueenofAfrica

You are absolutely right. Those African Americans that display a high intellectual capacity in dealing with their African cousins usually get the same love and respect back. Some people just can't get out of the bubble of being discriminated against or hated to where they think that everybody hates them. They therefore manufacture lies about Africans in order to find a reason to hate back. It's unimaginable that people stoop that low just to console themselves.

[judel5]

@SuperQueenofAfrica

This chick made a lot of disgusting remarks that just underscore how "out-of-touch" she in issues regarding Africans. 1) Africans are used to fighting tribal wars and therefore bring that combative attitude to the US. 2) Africans are disease stricken. Both of these statements apply to less than 5% of Africa's population. Africans are generally peaceful and hardworking both back home, here in the US and around the world. If African Americans (one group in one country)...

[judel5]

@SuperQueenofAfrica

..in one half of one continent are diverse and different down to the individual, how can someone have the nerve to lump the whole continent of Africa together as one people and blame everyone for the sins of one person. I have noticed that AAs do this to Africans a lot while at the same time complain when whites do it to them. She then had the nerve to say that Barrack Obama is not "really one of us." "We just did him a favor." Seriously??!! That's when I knew she's crazy!

[SuperQueenofAfrica]

@judel5 am amused at the reaction to AKAT042001 is opinion.. the REPONSES where wayyyyy overthetop.. some of them where just rancid , spewing a lot of nonsense .. all they have done is proved the point , look at this TheGreatM16 with a rifle as his "reponse" , to be honest, its just best to leave those who have issues and cultivate those who dont... however you have to sort the wheat from the chaff here.. its not everyone of them who is "friendly" towards africans that is genuine.

[yomibolo1]

btw a lot of african american girls make fun of us africans for our accents did you know that. my youtube channel is subscribed to al most all blacks.but i am beginning to understand how people think hmm. goodbye

[yomibolo1]

i am surprised you feel this way. i am nigerian and black and i love black americans i feel like crying reading this i thought you were nice and wow thats all i can say God help all black people. we are all the same please dont speak for all africans.

[Fiddysgrl05]

How can you get along with someone who is not getting along with you? I hate when ppl like you lead ppl to believe Africans are stuck up! I think it's a lot of black Americans who are not open minded or willing to accept different types of people who don't look like them or talk like them. If that way of thinking can be changed, a friendship could form and both groups can realize they are like long lost cousins.

[Fiddysgrl05]

'pets'??? That's the dumbest most offensive thing ... I'm African and my family did not come here with negative views of black America. It's what they observe that may shape SOME of their opinions of black America. Many black Americans make fun of Africans all the time and are not accepting towards them. It's almost as if you and your videos are blaming the victims. Most immigrants from Africa are quiet ppl who keep to themselves and their education and SOME blacks make fun of their accent/looks

[AcerNZ]

wow....girl u got issues.

and what better way to sort them out then on YouTube!! :D

[sugarcane91]

I fear blacks as a race will NEVER rise because instead of bringing each other up and supporting each other, they tear each other down! It's bad enough that every other race on this fuckin' planet hates us, but it hurts even MORE to have our own people hate one another..It should not matter what country they come from, blacks all over the world should get together and LOVE each other unconditionally. We will ALWAYS be the laughing stock of the world if we keep treating each other like shit..

[abs2ray]

The troubles you mentioned in your piece are indeed your problem.Like it or not you will be judge according to Africa's progrsadly you are very narrow minded and I think there is a lot you can learn from Africans and about Africa. I am of African decent and generally I like to treat people equally but make no mistake I will never belittle myself to blend in. Try and be receptive to all irrespective of race.

[sybellah]

there is ignorance from both side, even tho i had many bad experience with AA, i had some good times too, i think there are good and bad people in every community and i don't generalized behaviour, trying to better know each other will decrease the hate, cause none of us is better, we all have our issues, and accept already da truth that we r ignorant will drive us to learn instead to stick to nonsensical judgments and sustain useless propagandas.

[sybellah]

the 1st time i went out with my mum and were talking our dialect, we got dirty looks from a group of AA women, 1st time my bro went to school he got laughed at for no reason, his friend got into a fight with his AA roomate for some fucked up reason, some african come here and get rejected my many AA and get more accepted by non black, so what do u think will happen if they go back home? tell their experience and this is where the hate from those who never interacted with AA come from

[sybellah]

umh! a lot of African don't come in america with bad judgement based on TV or smthg! Actually many A who never came here appreciate AA. But it's change whenever they interact with u. Because many AA looks down on Africans, think we are savage and AA are superior. I know some Africans who grew up here and were ashamed to let know AA that they'r A, cuz they didn't want being called names "A booty scratcher" "purple pussy",

[mslovey100]

My own cousin is from Kenya and Immigrated to Ohio in 1999 aged 21. He was alone without any family to support him. As i type this, my cousin is now a professor at the University of Missouri and happily married to a psychologist. He landed in America with nothing but a goal for company. What have U done with your life? Spending time on youtube making ignorant generalization of Africans and how they treat black Americans? You are in the same place as my cuz but what have U done with your life?

[monique052001]

after your cousin got his American dream, what has he done for his own people and country? Im willing to bet, not a fucking thing! proud is he? Who gives a fuck about your cousin, you dont get credit for taking care of your own ass-who else will do it? Is Nigeria considered a first world country yet? No, and why is that? Why did he even have to come all they way to America to get what his own damn people could not provide-pathetic! My dad is an engineer so whats is your point?

[egbigan]

@monique052001 People come in USA not because this country is too beautiful but it is the center of the world (in BUSINESS and EDUCATION). there is a difference between the America people dream of coming and black AMERICA. (BLACK AMERICA is FLINT MICHIGAN. NIGERIANS come over here ,they become doctors and engineers while those who should be on those positions are all in jails or in the hospital (pregnant women or bullet ). Better to be a AFRICAN than to be an AA: look at LIBERIA.

[monique052001]

Who fault is it that Nigeria is still a third world country in 2011? It is there damn fault! How many more 100's of years and international AID does Nigeria need in order to compete with the big dogs? You have said nothing that impresses anyone on here, not our fault that your cousin was poor and broke because he country is a piece of shit! When africa does something worth mentioning, then you can speak but stop acting as if one individual makes up for the majority with your sob stories.

[egbigan]

@monique052001 conti. some of those countries don't need foreign AIDS.Countries like GABON, SOUTH-AFRICA ,EGYPT, GHANA,IVORY COAST , BOTSWANA , TANZANIA etc. they borrow money from the world bank if they have to do their stuffs . they are intelligent mixed and they are capable human beings in so many ways. The WORST COUNTRIES IN AFRICA are (LIBERIA AND SIERRA LEONNE). those people are AA's and unfortunately they are the worst . that is why Africans look down on you people up here.

[egbigan]

@monique052001 NIGERIA takes foreign aids as food or as a loan from the world bank ? Because as a black-American I am not sure if you know what you are talking about. AMERICA owes trillions to foreign countries as a loan and aid. . NIGERIA is the first black country to send its satellite to the moon. Do not confuse AID to NIGERIA as a payable loan with WELFARE pay-check to ghetto people in SOMALIA and in USA. West-AFRICA is different (except LIBERIA of course).

[egbigan]

@monique052001 I am surprised your DAD is an engineer. I am sure he is a mixed like me who might have a good white background . Your dad african ancestry might be from BOTSWANA,GHANA, GABON,NIGERIA, NAMIBIA etc....you have a lot in common with east-Africans than WEST AFRICANS...In the book of the DNA researches , I am sure there will be a part that will prove my point that the AA's are Somalia AND CONGO descents ...not GHANA or WEST-AFRICA as they all pretend to be from .

[monique052001]

I have no respect for people like your cousin who deserts his own people.I never heard of an African who ever went back to help with a damn thing, fucking deserters. nothing respectable about that! And you claim that you people stick together/ Bullshit!Not to mention all of the tribal warfare, crime and poverty.Who the fuck are you to even open your mouth!The girl in the video is highly educated-that's what she did with her life-without getting a handout! like most of us,immigrants have it made.

[egbigan]

@monique052001 Tribal warfare? A part from RWANDA east-AFRICA and your COUNTRY LIBERIA give me the name of another african country (after the year 2000) where people are involved in tribal warfare. ? I will respect you if you can. I am mixed but I know better about AFRICA than all blacks Africans and Africans Americans combined

AFRICA has 54 countries . Some very advanced to even become the world fastest growing economy . Some very poor and unintelligent people like your LIBERIA.

[monique052001]

Unlike your cousin, African American did not desert our country to get what we needed WE STAYED A FOUGHT FOR IT, and still fight for it. We can even benefit from affirmative action! White women and immigrants do! So, dont give me that 'we worked so hard' rhetoric. He should have fought for better opportunities in his own country like a real patriot would, not runaway like so many do-yet wonder why there is little progress in africa. Black africans ain't doing shit to fix a damn thing in africa

[monique052001]

@mslovey100 You know nothing of having loyalty to your country and people, and u rather become American citizens then lift a finger for your own people-you think we dont know that shit, so it is comedy to me when you try to criticize black Americans who stayed in America, instead of abandoning or fleeing like sorry ass bastards, and you think you deserve some kind of credit for that shit, lol. Is your cousin married to a white women? I notice many African men cant wait to get one, lol.

[mslovey100]

@monique052001 Bitch where in my comment did I say that my cousin deserted his own people and is married to a white woman? What an ignorant and bitter woman U are. U have wasted precious library time and rambled 10 comments in reply to my comment with great bitterness and outrage. Look bitch, my point was, MANY AMERICANS ARE BUSY BLAMING WHITES FOR THEIR PROBLEMS AND WHY THEY ARE USELESS HUMAN BEINGS. MY CUZ ON THE OTHER HAND WORKED HARD AND MADE A LIFE FOR HIMSELF. Get an education fool

[monique052001]

@mslovey100 Blah, blah monky. It was a joke and does his black ass live in africa? did he go back to make any changes in his OWN countty?Aww, the little african booty scratcher is mad lol. You called me a bitch and im the bitter one, you watch this video and got all upset and started insulting first AND IM THE BITTER ONE lol We dont blame white for shit you stupid whore, we where victimized by them still to this day s it isnt blamming its addressing a problem.

[monique052001]

@mslovey100 Now go home and do something worth bragging about. go fix your shit hole country that you claim to be so proud of that you black savages destroyed by your own backward hands, and you still haven't got right and its 2011 ALREADY. How much more world aid do you need before you get it right! Sorry, you have absolutely nothing to bragg about-AMERICA! Now go work 'hard' in your own country leach! Take responsibility for you own problems and stop begging.

[monique052001]

@mslovey100 and you should hate white of course because you suck on the titties too much, so why would you bit the hand that feeds you duh! Can any one say- world AID hahaha. Ill respect an ASIAN over an african ANYDAY, sorry! You people are far from example of success-YOU ARE WHO WE DONT WANT TO BECome-America!

[TopEarner25]

Forget these Africans they ain't our people sista. We are israelites

[MrBkofi]

@TopEarner25 israelite my foot..if you talking abt israelite then there are a lot in africa..we originated from africa...n the original hebrews were black africans..so wat's yr point.. the problem is that some of us black americans are so dumb, that we have allowed the white man to humiliate our countries, by showing only only the bad part of our countries in africa..n we black americans, BEING STUPID,we believe them..

[SEBLE45]

honey i am african from ethiopia.today i can walk on street of usa my head up cuz of what martin l.king ,malcom x ....did for black people.its not looking down anybody honey we all the same people.it just that we don't have same cultre,and there might be missundrstanding,but don't forget what africans and african leaders did for african americans during descrimination towards black people in america.check out king slase 1 from ethiopia,neslson mandela,dr kuma nukuma

[Nenendude]

@biggbadmilt Thank you brother.

[salamsabee]

My father doesn't care what the man thinks. he went to school and became an engineer. He does his job and goes home. he knows racism exist, but he didn't let it stop him. When you pay atention to something for too long it takes over your mind. I have dealt with racism, and I still do, but I try to not let it get to me.

[Nenendude]

@salamsabee I hear your point, and agree. We cannot allow racism to prevent us from doing our best in this world. On the other hand, racism affects/effects us all on one way or another. Some of us are not as affected, but as a group, we are still oppressed and not treated as complete equals with our white counterparts. Remember what happened to Henry Louis Gates. He is educated, and has status, but he was treated like an average black person when the cops knocked on his door.

[clarkkent51]

You African immigrants who don't truly understand this racist system here, just wait. Conservatives see America getting darker & darker. In virtually all of the states, anti-immigrant bills are being passed. Do you think that these bills are pertaining only to Hispanics?

In racist America's eyes, "A nigger is a nigger." In my state, (tennessee), three anti-immigrant bills will pass for sure. Who will be your advocate if u alienate us? Be careful what u wish for? ICE is looking!

[dragonpat666]

our minds have been destroyed, sister. we have this ingrained in us that is why its easy for us to hate on each other and support others who do it. we are disconnected from ourselves emotionally and really are still very traumatized by our distant and recent experiences. we're hurting and our hearts are broken. we don't need a savage such as that stupid ethio woman slicing open our womb. when these immigrants come at us like this we need to take them down! take no disrespect from them.

[Emastmagy]

I am an African and yes I have eked out a modest living. But so did the African Americans who went to school with me; in fact for every 100 AA who made it to the top, there is only one like me. When a black woman (the ethiopian chick) casting painful aspersion on her own race, we should be concerned about her mental health.

Most Africans I know are immune to racism because they have a blithe disregard for what the bigots have to say. so should you!

[Nenendude]

@Emastmagy I hear what you're saying. We African Americans are not immune to racism, it continues to oppress many in our community. We have a lot of work to do, progress we still need to make, but we have to stop back bitting first. Thank you for the comment.

[dragonpat666]

@Emastmagy and you haven't been experiencing this type of self-image damaging racism for hundreds of years either. we do constantly question ourselves. our situation is quite different from that of africans. not feeling sorry for my people, just telling the truth. low-self esteem and self-hatred has been ingrained in us, not africans. africans have never been surround by such crippling racism and are VERY proud. i wish africans would study our experience when they come here.

[Emastmagy]

@dragonpat666 That's where you're wrong. Racism was born in Africa. The Colony introduced its first cousin xenophobia which is much more crippling and a byword of every deadly ethnic cleansing in Africa today. Sudan, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Nigeria.. on and on and on. You guys have accomplished so much in such a short time. See the glass half full; never half empty! Yes I am grateful for the moral integrity I possess and for that I am proud of my roots. So should you!

[dragonpat666]

@Emastmagy oh, i do know of the crippling tribalistic hatreds they have for each other on the continent. i REJECT africans who bring that shit to us. i have made up in my mind to ignore those types of africans. and yes, we have a proud history but i am PROUD of ourselves! we have come a VERY long way in such a short time considering what we have been through. peace to you and thank you for you lovely words. from you fellow AMERICAN sister.

[kizzmac]

You all may disagree with me but these outsiders like LAtinos, Africans, Asians,Arabs, etc. are not friends of the black American. I am telling you all to beware. Just because these people are not white means nothing. They carry hate for the people who made it possible for them. I read their comments and you would be surprised.

These people are ingrates and I'd advise black Americans to stay out of the way when whites wage a mass deportation sweep in the US.

[dragonpat666]

@kizzmac i totally agree. i do not deal with these people. i will a latino if they show respect because at least we have a history with them and mexicans. we are all americans and should seek to at least get alone. but these immigrants don't get attention from me or my money; unless i just can't help it. i stay away and avoid them at all cost. if they don't want to get alone, i won't try to get alone with them. this is OUR country. this young girl is well spoken!! proud of her.

[kizzmac]

@dragonpat666 Latinos are not my friends. I know them too well. They are not the same as you.

[kizzmac]

fuck em. I don't have to prove anything to them. They can go back to their country. The day will come when whites will be ready to deport them. Black people need to leave those Latinos alone. They are not your friends.

[Nenendude]

@kizzmac I hear that! As soon as we have a republican in office, and I'm sure they'll start focusing on immigration again. America will turn on them so quick their heads will spend, then they'll know who there real enemies are.

[Jwriter4]

@Nenendude LOLOL YES they surely will.....& they think Obama gives a fuck, sheesh surely he does not!! Those whities are going to teach them JUST what it is all of those damn immies! You'd think they'd try to be nice to the only race of people in America that could have their back!

[Nenendude]

@Jwriter4 LOL. You'd think they'd ally up, but their more like us that I imagined. The American propaganda machine has certainly played a part. If Obama is to ever grow a pair, it will most likely be the second term, but I will not hold my breath.

[Jwriter4]

@kizzmac That day is coming very soon!!

[EuphoricImpact]

You made many points worth acknowledging. Honestly, I do not witness many people thinking things through! IF a diatribe (even if presented in a composed way) benefits their outlook then they run with it. I never knew things were as polarized between the sexes (within the American Black community).

Akat042001 may claim her position was meant a certain way..however, I listened carefully to her video several times. It is funny that the Black men who endorse her do not see she has

[EuphoricImpact]

@EuphoricImpact (cont) defamed all Black Americans. Her qualifier was ineffectual. I could had accepted her condemnation (despite her being flippant) if it she was accurate and not full of various fallacies and distortions.

I have witnessed a varsity of dispositions from Black Africans. Generally speaking..I do think being an individualist is frown upon in Africa, more so than here. Therefore I suggest that the hive mentality tends to shape and condition most world view. I may

[EuphoricImpact]

@EuphoricImpact (cont) be incorrect. This said, it is easy to see how many can be prejudicial without the influence of the media! Though the media certainly is a great indoctrination tool. And I know it has colored many mindsets and perspectives.

Another thing that is rarely addressed, in the Black community, is the misandry & misogyny that is not claimed. Like homosexuality it appears to be an aspect of life many do not seem to want to acknowledge. However, if the microcosm of

[EuphoricImpact]

@EuphoricImpact (cont) YT is a proper cross section of "analog" time then the sickness is well rooted! Not wanting to be pessimistic, but I see individuals breaking free from this not the Black community as a whole!

[Nenendude]

@EuphoricImpact I agree, misogyny is rampant and many of us have accepted it, don't even recognize it anymore.

[EuphoricImpact]

@Nenendude Yes it does seem to be ignored. The various illnesses can not be treated if this continues. Do you not observe a great deal of misandry as well? I see both misandry and misogyny being openly promoted in popular film, music and definitely on You Tube.

Sorry for all the typos in my former replies...I am having a heck of a time with insomnia. So, I am constantly multi-tasking (as to not waste time) and that helps to generate all kinds of grammar and spelling errors. Peace.

[Nenendude]

@EuphoricImpact You know, I've just recently started noticing the misandry honestly. From how black men are made into fools in the media, and women are ofter placed over the man, especially with african americans relationships.  Sorry to hear about your insomnia, hope you get some relief this weekend.

[Nenendude]

@EuphoricImpact Her flippant delivery pissed me off specifically. I don't think most black men & women have issues with eachother, but those few bitter apples are poluting the whole bunch, or trying to.
