I think Africans and Africans in the diaspora should unite together! Yes we have different cultures, traditions but that shouldn't stop us from coming together. The main problem is our ignorance we must get rid of self-hatred & ignorance!! That is racist people number one fear is seeing all people of African descent. Africans and Africans in the diaspora should love and respect each other as brothers and sisters. I'm African American just to let you guys know :D peace!
You look beautiful and have great personalities! (This coming from an American White man) Shows that not all Black people are exactly the same and it's OKAY not to be a 'stereotypical Black person' and it's GREAT TO BE YOURSELVES!!!! Consider yourselves subbed!
First off there is no such thing as race. You’re correct. So called “African Americans” think they’re the pinnacle of “African” culture in an effort to find identity. In fact they are American and in effect more Euro than Afro. They learned the game and now they’re going to play it. They have created an identity that they view un-deniable and those who mess that fantasy world up are viewed as counter.
African-American is more accurate than just African. African-American is more fully describing people of largely African ancestory who were born and brought up in the American culture. African-Americans really can't just be called just Africans because we are too far removed from African cultures.
Most African-Americans don't speak any African languages,practice African religions etc. Caribbean & Latin American Blacks are culturally more African than African-Americans. Haitians,Afro-Cubans and Afro-Brazilians can still speak African languages and practice African based religions.
I'm African american and my Ancestors are not just African but also of Irish descent. But i am still black. Africans and African americans both have black in them but african americans are more diverse than africans because of slavery. But there are some parts of africa that are diverse because some countries in africa have more european influence than others which causes a mixture between the races.
@hellboy666kiLLer? We are all divers when it comes to the Africans with all kinds of Shades so if u haven't knew this,than look at videos of your African Movies,Music, Cities,Farms or Landscape.I do agree that about 37% of African Americans are mix race but the majority are not. Light Skin Black Americans came from light skin African Ethnic Groups!Whites who are Blond comes from those who are blond,red & black hair. Europeans have brown,blue or green eyes with different skin tone as we are.
Black Americans love celebrating our selves, where you gals getting that from that we don't celebrate ourselves-I think you guys are confusing us with you. And one more thing, why do you guys like saying the word "SLAVE" as if thats gonna offend me/us Black Americans-all your doing is annoying us...
Thats the problem with black America...They just want to forget their roots. as a Haitian my self I will never forget my African roots despite the white blood that is in me.
fuck this bullshit we are africans we just form different places just like african brothers and sisters from brazil or europe. we need stick to each other because whites always wants to destroy us, they happy to see how we hate each other! pls my real dark/brown skin afrikan/black wake up in all the world we need more real dark skin black sons/kids and black family fuck interracial bullshit with ugly whites and non black ppl!! black love/black power!
Oh and also can I ask the both of you how you feel about Africans that feel we shoudnt idetify with them and that we should not call ourselves African Americans?
im "aa" and i loooooovvvee what you girls are saying! I kinda wish that there were more Africans like yoursef that is more open to us! I know where i come from and I know my ancestors came from Africa, although i am sooooo pale lol! but all in all we are the same much love :)
I like what you guys said in this video and it's good to see that there are black people out there who want to unite and come together. I do believe the main division between blacks all over the world is CULTURE.
im black and im from ethiopia, i was really disturb by the way we africans were portrayed in the western culture.both african americans n americans in general were thought we( africans) like the native indians r savages still live in a mud hut. i dont blame dem,cuz its the media n the school system....but i did meet several brothers who r really educated bout africa n others who want to kn more bout thier connection bout africa..
get over it we are the same people if you don't want real dark / bown skin african / black looking kids then you are self-hating sellout coon who wanna be ugly untalented white as bird's shit looking cracker aka white man's slave just like in south america!
No offense, but Black Americans and Africans really are 2 different groups, genetically & culturally. Genetically, we're far more mixed than most "West African" people and we really are a unique group onto ourselves. Culturally, most Black Americans don't relate to tribalism and a host of other "African" quirks.
@bajabenca ..reality check..AFRICA IS A CONTINENT OF MULTY TRIBAL CULTURE..BUT BLACK AMERICANS ARE OF DIFFERENT AFRICAN TRIBAL CULTURES MADE ONE THROUGH SLAVERY..
@seartmboya No shi*t. As I stated, present day Black Americans have a very distinct culture different from most of Africa. Not just us, but West Indians, and Brazilians. :)
@seartmboya Gracias. There is always this talk about Black Americans not learning African histor. What incentive do we have for learning African history and culture? Do Africans themselves know about each in depth?
@bajabenca True! And Africans do not respect that we (Black Americans) have created a new civilization. Africans who want to claim Black Americans, should tread lightly. Why? Because soon many Black Americans are going to become hip to the fact that Africans has played native "Black westerners" and are still playing us, we're going to start speaking reparations....yeah from all that oil money.So if I was an African, I'd be very careful.And I don't have to be african to show respect to Africans.
Black Americans (African American) are not Africans. Yes our ancestors came from what is now Africa-West Africa to be exact. Africans need to respect that we're Native black North Americans. Your argument would best be focused on African immigrants to the USA, not focus on us Black Americans. When I look at Africa, I as a Black American man, do not see myself reflected in West Africans.
@PRUDENCE19831 not to get at yu im a 14 to year old boy i am black and i consider myself african because thats were are people come from in all of that in if yu were really researhing yu would kno that blak is not a race neither is white there is only afrian, european, asian, and ther many more ethenic groups we are the only people in ameria that don't have a culture to reflet back on and most africans are brainwashed from what the wite man shows us on tv
I feel sorry for you.You are so ignorant.first of all you will always be african. and correction slaves came from all over africa.west africa just happens to be the place where the ports where.do you research.
@Selina1190 I'm African American, You guys are telling the truth! Some African Americans have a lot of self-hate. We should unite together and stand strong as a people. I love my African people. Much love<3
amen sistas if u dark u african, i live in london england n we have jamaicans here who say african are this n that words to rude to repeat here, they just have been brain washed i mean its cleansed, n the whites have fed them so much shit it unbelievable, the only few who i have seen who have an iota of intelligence are the rasta, the rest i my god they education that all they need.i came to london from east africa came to london aged 10 n the fights that i got into was amazing.
