"What is your name?" - African tribe children in Ethiopia

[Tsmmachge]

What is the purpose of this video?

[kanakaken]

At least here you had an interpreter to start the ball rolling. It was agood game with the children it actually helped them learn a little of your language and you made a good attempt in repeating their names correctly.They may not haves asked for anything but it's customary for nomadic people to give and receive gifts. They gave their joy, friendship, time, assistance, smiles & themselves for you to take home in your camera, what did you give?

[lhenle55]

@armba12113 i understand what ur saying however u coulda said it different. I think of it as if african americans are of a different tribe. The culture is different and so are the names and language. Im black too and looking at it that way helps one to appreciate the differences in people. I love ny culture but i love other cultures too :)

[beeceebee1]

From 0:38 in the video, why is that woman gesturing towards you? Is she telling you not to take that video? That's what it looks like...

Cause I just came back from Tanzania, and found a lot of people were sensitive about pictures, even when I was not taking pictures of them in particular...

[brownb6]

Awwww they are soooo beautiful. I wish I was pure african with dark skin :-(

[havebold123]

What concern is it of yours what black people name their children. The majority of our last names are those of the slave masters. We can name our children any name we want. We owed that much!

[armba12113]

I thought they were going to say: Obamaniqua, Barakisha, Shanaynay, Shaniquah, Latifah, Watermelondrea, Harlemnishah, Comptonia, La'taniana'bo'vanashrianiquali­quanice, Guuuuurrrrrrllll, and so on... African american stop naming your kids with artificial ghetto names and learn some real african names like in this vid.

[hiphopson]

@armba12113 typical! your comment is just stupid and i think you said it just to hurt someone "Watermelondrea" "artificial ghetto" whatever that is and im sure if you heard a African American with the names in this video they would still sound ghetto to you

[zaphod71828]

How is asking kids their names a game?

[tedoymisojos]

I love the bright necklaces. The kids are so cute

[hmmmmusic]

cute kids!!!

[NachralBrwn]

I would love to visit that place. Those people are very beautiful and I would live in there shoes any day...those kids are to cute...

[jamieshotbolt]

thumbs up for boobs on youtube

[AussieBraa]

you were just lookin at their titties

[XianKai]

Whereisdanman, thanks for this video. Seeing the smiling faces of the children was awesome.

[rolthox]

Those feather things looked cool.

[satyashani]

Oh so cute children .... I'd take 2-3 of them in my lap and kiss them and take them for a ride on my back...

[abhimanyu5]

so these are ethiopian kids???

[indigobeauty1]

AFRICA...so beautiful. The life there is more simple and in flow with the universe. One peace one heart one love!

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

wtf

[kkenling]

wow, everyone is looking cute. so nice of daniel to go there and ask their names. nice video.

[RedSeaCoral]

you're a very bigted person if you can messure a society by how rich it is. do you think the western world got to where it is by simply working hard for it?

our corrupt governments inslaved people from africa to work their fields, build their homes and even cook their food and raise their children. perhaps slavery is over but the economic inslavement has just begon.

if these oromo people chose to live humble lives instead of ruining other people, then all respect to them.

[th3soulreaper]

Yes the wetern world got here by working it's ass off, and trying to get a better education.

They got dealt a bad hand several times, mainly the islamic crusades that set them back a long time.

[RedSeaCoral]

lol, you are sooooo wrong that its off the scale.

the arrogance is overwhelming.

[Bellinger2112]

My friend, you are among others go on the sam path as you. Life for them doesn't have to be a constant worry. Think about your whole life you always had a worry (such as grades, bills, finding work, being unemployed, not getting fed because there is no money, and taxes(and of course there is more)) of that wasn't needed for humans, but we give to ourselves anyway in order for the few-and only few- that get any sort of false power in our own culture. But the other cultures needn't worry there.

[browndell]

WELL SAID!  wish more ppl had this oerstanding.

[Kalidred]

you guys are right. I cant stand when I see people say... that their evolution is primitive because they dont use technology. But the people say these things dont understand that OUR technology has fucked up our planet royaly... Their evolution is spiritual... id much rather live like that....... bless

[TheAksumite]

Much respect family.If you sit down with this elders.They will tell you so much knowledge am not talking about book smart but life smart.technologgy has really messed up our world big time

[unnst]

I also hope that thier beautiful and unique names don't get changed to John or Mohammad anytime soon.

[unnst]

Beautiful people with awesome names:

Bangas

Nebahathe

Gatch

Naminyo

thowithe

Lumogore

Illawoy

I hope they live free and happy like this for centuries more. Hope they don't get bombarded by our advertisement world full of pain and taxes and perverts on the internet. :)...... seriously I would die to be who they are, we all talk about freedom like we know what it is.....these people. They people are truely living it.

[GuamKomudo]

Until the neighboring village comes in with machine guns to kill them for water =D Dont forget where this is... Africa is not the safest of places to live... Or the healthiest or funnest. You talk about Africa like you know what it is, obviously if it was a fun great place to be we "Horrable evil people" and our "Big evil technology" wouldent need to send them tons of food and medicine each year just so they could live...Not everything about us is bad you know... Dont take your life for granted

[RedSeaCoral]

we might have a higher standard of living, but seriouly lets not fool ourselves, these people you imagine to be primitive are infact more advanced then us (the western world), they are more moral than we are, they havent inslaved other races, they havent launched countless wars where the blood of millions has been shed. these so called "unadvanced" people are not ruining our planet on a daily basis, its not them who have the highest crime rates or the worst alcohol abuse cases.

ITS US!

[GuamKomudo]

I never hurt anyone, or even taken a drink of alcohol accept at church.You need to think about what you say,You stupid people think white people are the only ones who had slaves in the world... Besides, African people have slaves even as we speak. Chinese has slaves, Middle eastern people, white, black, brown. Being white dosent make you a bad person your idiot! Like I said, I dont know what you did, but I didnt do anything... If it makes you feel better im only half white, im also half asian...

[RedSeaCoral]

feeling defensive already? probably the guilt of prejudice. look here you hypocrite, dont even dare tell me to "think about what i say" when you genralize an entire continent and make it look like a total waste land. who the hell says that we need you to feed us?, we where fine before your colonies and food aid.

i didnt accuse any white person of being "evil" as you claim, im pointing out the FACTS of history, how almost all nations have taken advantage of africa and its people. deal with it.

[tatitati284]

well if you didn't accuse any white person of being evil i do they are the devil

[RedSeaCoral]

thats your opinion, i happen not to be racist.

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

lol no there not you dumbass

why are they not on the moon hmmmmm

[RedSeaCoral]

sorry but i prefere not to socialize with idiots, talk to urself.

[whereisdanman]

I have compassion for you - I wish for you to be free of your pain. But, you should go see a doctor. Your problem is not capable of battling alone. You need professional medical help to feel better inside yourself. But, it CAN BE DONE. You can do it.

[Tha0wn4g3]

Wow, what smart people!!!

Omo erectus niggas

;P

[bumblebeeexo]

aww that was quite cute. :)

[stuntclown101]

[ivaniakarinagabriel]

we just noticed that piercing came from Africa.

[7Row7enn7]

Man I wish I had piercings like they do. It's so fucking awesome.

[sheptropremix]

elowe is the coolest.

[TehPieBoy]

LOLLOLLOL THE WESTS.

[SkilledShopper]

ahhahahaahahha the kids are so cute

[jlj426]

those kids in ethiopia have white teeth because they dont have sweets and fatty foods, alcochol or tobacco, africans generally have good teeth

[whereisdanman]

They have white teeth because they constantly chew a natural root that grows in the dirt. This keeps their teeth white, but not necessarily clean.

[Mr1700]

whats the name? i need some

[mutnojme]

why do they have feathers on their chins what does that mean or symbolizes.

[bestvids2009]

wow thanks for explaining that. i had absolutely no idea how these guys live so simple lives with no commodities yet they have teeth that rival hollywood stars. its weird. and some westerners have such bad teeth they have to go to a dentist...strange

[didi425]

i'm sure they have other mechanisms to keep their teeth white and clean. furthermore, fibers scrub and constant chewing can scrub/clean teeth

[PS30WNS200]

they just don't eat suger...

[jamieshotbolt]

@jlj426 they have really white teeth because it's in contrast with their really dark skin

[quackinacan]

@jamieshotbolt it hardly works like that

wanna crop out just their teeth in an image editing program and tell me those teeth aren't a bright white

it all boils down to the fact they don't eat shit like the rest of the world does. talk to a dentist, you clearly don't know what you're talkin about

[timebuilder0]

those kids are so cute, so into their world, so diferent that ours, very cool people, i went there 2 years ago and i was impressed with the life there, beautifull place

[803JahBless]

The natural way of living.

[ZionNeo1]

Wow thats cool.
