Barack Obama Inaugural Ball: African Diaspora Inaugural Ball

[BoexDexKoe]

African people are SO cool! :D

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

Obama the first half-caste biracial mixed-race president not black

[Rahma8]

MAN, i used to be expert in this dance back in the days in school in Uganda..lol. loved it.

[christelllekiki]

love love love the African spirit.... :-)

[Nambajjwe]

Third: The material worn,kikoyi, is not from any part of Africa. It comes from India. Since then there are variations from this original.

Fourth: Bakisimba, muwogola, nakasa, mbaga all come from Buganda. Do you know which were performed by the male dancer?

[Nambajjwe]

First: There are only two people on that stage that were born on this continent and they are Ugandan by heritage. The rest were born in Uganda and with the exception of one member are Baganda (look it up).

Second: There are no "men" or "women" steps except when they are greeting. And for you who claim to know what the bakisimba dance is, I don't need to explain.

[bumisworld]

yes, this is a ugandan tribes traditional dance.

[lmashua]

this is not an African group alone they are mixed with African Americans I can tell that I know our very own dances

[wachaushenzi]

definately not an African group... the guy in green tee is trying to dance Uganda's Baganda Abakisimba...but ends up doing female dancers moves.. embarrassed 4 him.the girls them selves are doing some vague west African dance.....the robes(kanzu in swa) are worn by muslim men in Africa.for prayer not dance....i don't know about else where... hmm trying to fit in are we?

[lmashua]

Wanatufanya wajinga , we know our moves and our people! hahaha

[remiemay]

lol ....

[lmashua]

lol

[zsa5666]

Thats why it is imperative to know your information before you go out and call yourself doing African dance. What people don't realize is that they are representing someone's culture. And besides, you NEVER know who's watching!!!!

[hijaabiforlife]

oh wow they are wearing somali clothes

[lmashua]

you can say that again

[zuperstar]

grotonunited is a boy who has never got love from his mom so he is angry about everyone who has more fun than him.

[grotonunited]

NiggerTV LOL

[humanforotherhumans]

[mrechichi]

I'm "white"..... but more importantly I'm human. I think this is a beautiful expression of joy and excitement for being alive on such a momentus day.

[StarChava]

"Lickd" if you can't beat em join em! This is true America, not the white apratied you dreamed up. We will not hate you for being a loser, having the complexion of the pig, the disposition of the chicken, the ideals of the jackal and the tactics of the crab! Grow up it's about making a good life.

[lickdeeznutts]

You made me hungry mentioning all those animals so why don't you be a good little nigger and go to the kitchen and roast me a pig before i whip your ass back to the slave days

[alaiiinalan]

[nami26]

bettel9 Y even bother? Its obvious these ignorant comments are from ignorant individuals who seek attention. I guaratee if u run a comment history check it's only negativity they spew.

[inflatableboo]

Africa and Africans are so over rated. It's not dancing it's shaking their ass. That is all.

[lesbmistique]

lol how overrated is it that your president shares the same tribe as me lol it sure is overrated hahahah

[poundsdollar]

that's a ugandan traditional dance...cool huh!

[tacing77]

Only God can change the nation for good or you are bound for another frustration. Do no look to President Obama or to anybody, but look unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the author and Finisher of our faith. Pres Obama is only human like former Pres Bush. He can only do what he can at the best of his ability. I ask you all, SEEK GOD AND TRUST HIM! God loves our nation more than anyone can and that is the truth and HE loves you more than you love HIM. It's not about race or Obama, it's all about JESUS!

[runman1271]

Yea they can dance... maybe they can get off welfare and get a job too. That would be a sight to see.

[tenderglo4]

I love watching the africans dance it's so cultural and they have their own traditional dances that mean something so it's cool to watch. On a funny note did you see how that man was shaking it

[anka2880]

:)wow

[lowczone187]

Hayop sa labi ah!! Bogsa!!!

[possessed289]

whatever it is you are trying to be, just be it. and if you feel you are at risk of sounding racist to talk with expletives about her physical attributes that might be vastly different than your own, then you probably are being racist and shouldn't bother saying it. or perhaps don't bother with a disclaimer about something you are "trying" not to be when you went ahead with the risky comment anyway.

[beenn15]

beauty... a lot of people pay thousands on botox shots to have gorgeous lips like hers...

[CaThErInEanne000]

you know what lowczone18 just said has the same meaning of what you've said.

[nami26]

U AIN'T RACIST U JUST PLAIN IGNORANT

[runman1271]

They are called DSL.

[mizorick]

Barack Obama is the president of united states. Not the president of Africa or watever. He is to look after the USA. I cant stand all this Blacks trying to take advantage because of his skin colours.

[egnaro24]

WAT?!!!!!!! Are you serious? Do you NOT understand the significance of this? Do you bitch when someone talks about Italy or Ireland and ask them to "stand up" for their people? Then shut the F up.....He IS of African descent, so it fits PERFECTLY in the context of HIS HISTORY.

[manderbos]

Actually, his father's ancestors stem from Arab descent. But what difference does it make. Really, this is about running America, not a race issue. If we want to go there, we can focus on his being half white. Who cares, we are supposed to be beyond racism, but that is all anyone is talking about. What about the issues. I really don't think his supporters realize this country's liberties are at stake. Big gov't is a big mistake to the economy and our personal lives.

[nkaso]

Correction: his father's ancestors are not from Arab descent in ANY way. I should know. I'm Kenyan. His father and his family were black Kenyans. His father's father was probably of the Muslim faith but black. As are many Kenyans.

[Bellamora72001]

since when did his father's ancestors come from Arab descent. Oh yea so you know right truths all of persia and arabia was once considered the African continent before a white man (Africanos) came and devided it. Original Arabs were black.

[nami26]

PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH MY GOODNESS!

[nairobi2272]

i am kenyan and we as african understand that obama is american president and not african president. we are just proud that we have a person to compare to when we choose our leaders. i can tell u were not obama fan from the word go. he has inspired american as well as african. in all politeness do be a hater.

[babyg30]

Your SOOO bright to say that Blacks are tryna take advantage because Obama is African American. Yes it true he is the president of America but he has inspired and touched others world wide and especically in Africa.Blacks are NOT trying to take advantage honey..we rather are proud that after a history of struggling we HAVE overcome.

[laigwodu]

When JFK was elected Irish people across the world were happy not because he's gonna become their president but they were all prud of his accomplishment. This is the same way Africans feel today. We know Obama is American President. Besides, Africa is a continent and not a country.

[SupperSubs]

Tight

[RevolutionaryINK]

Somebody tell me if that is a sister in that green shirt at 1:08 . I have witnessed tons of continental African dance ceromonies and the men's dance movements do not resemble that of the sisters.

Something is not right here.

[jahrastaluv]

hahahha lol

[YouMockMe]

Racists... Black tree, is that a SICK joke?and help Africa??? wtf, we need help sista.

What about his promisses to us???

Health care, more money for schools, rebuild and new bridges and roads, additional funding for science and scolarships, JOBS.... etc. etc.

Where will this money come from if we have to help africa too? They are the most over population continent on the planet, the only help they need is ANOTHER... Rwanda, Siera Leone, Somalia, etc.

[rorygallard7]

man, are you fucking joking?? Or are you really this stupid?? Clearly Asia is the most over populated continent on the planted, in fact the population of China is greater than the entire of continent of Africa. You're right, clearly American's do need money for schools, because the system has clearly failed you... miserably.. You are a disgrace- take some time, do some research and stop making such fucking stupid and racist comments.

[YouMockMe]

This is true but they are a productive culture so it evens out in the end. Maybe if they were as self-destructive it would be the same, no? Additionally the only reason the populations in africa have gone down is because of AIDs and not to mention the genocides... how many people have died just due to the genocides? With your vast knowledge you must know that. Is that productivity? No, thus it evens out. But that is no the point, the point is what about us? Solve our problems before others.

[rorygallard7]

Genocides and aids have had a devastating impact, yes, but so has other very curable problems such as starvation, cholera, and common diseases. Also war, which your country is in right now. These are not symptoms of a 'self-destructive culture', this is because of a failed government. You clearly must be white (as I am) and have no idea of repression or have ever heard of colonialism (not a surprise). There is no single culture that is self-destructive, all are inevitably, to some degree.

[YouMockMe]

Those are problems almost all over the world and may I remind you that many areas have way become this way due to CIVIL matters. The last time we got involved American soldiers were skinned alive and not to mention another where both sides were against us in the end (Somalia). A land once lush and green, now diseased and starving. They had their chance like Rwanda and the rest; "self-destructive". We have our own problems as you pointed out. We should not die for their problems, we have our own.

[rorygallard7]

Are you aware that the West divided the continent into countries where tribes or ethnicities were forced to share the land. Conflict was inevitable and still on going- which is exact same thing that is happening in Gaza right now- the West divided the region and now there is conflict. And why are you stressing genocides like Rwanda? Are you aware of Nazi Germany? Stalin's Russia? Are these not evidence of a 'self-destructive' cultures? I digress. Ultimately, these people in the video are not

[YouMockMe]

They came to our doorstep. Originally it wasnt our problem, they made it so. For that reason they are lucky I wasnt in charge or I would have turned the whole country into glass if they did not give into our demands. As being part hebrew I technically I understand your point with the Nazi comparison but they did so in the name of progress not for the sake of pleasure and if was an isolated incident but its not. This is a periodic even in Africa and goes on and on like clockwork.

[rorygallard7]

asking for hand outs, they are asking for recognition and they seek America's aid in development. This does not mean giving away free money. The West has a responsibility to the developing world which it has abused and taken advantage of for the last century and a half. Understand that Africans don't want hand outs, they want to develop and they need the help of the U.S. Help yourself-yes. But realize that when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold

[YouMockMe]

May I remind you of Zimbabwe. Before the british were voted out, they had a lush & fruitful way of life. After the british left they mucked it all up & after a period of time took the land away for redistribution. They didn't want to put in the work & now they are broke, starving, & diseased. Self-destructive? Im done helping them. Your right when we sneeze everything goes down. We need to fix ourselves before thinking of others. Once fixed, others will fallow & then we can pick up the pieces.
