oprah's roots

[kevinrocksyo]

u guyz are all dumb africans hahahah go tame a tiger for me im sure ur african roots will arrise

[chukwuemeka23456]

@kevinrocksyo screw you RACIST!!!!! ;)

[ste6666666]

I have noticed a kind of The whites are better no The Blacks are better argument here. How strange that both sides haven't learnt that they can be as bad as each other yet. Would a person be worth any less if they did live in a mud hut?. Both sides have basically lost their roots. Arrogance and fear on one side and fear and arrogance on the other. We are fed lies in the West like cotton candy don't swallow them lies as well. Nigeria should be richer her lifeblood sucked out the ground.

FUCK GATES that black UNCLE TOM I'm going to fucking kill his faget blacks ass that fucking limeade squeezing house nigger!! We better watch his back!

[demybliss1]

I am Nigerian, telling you th shut the F up !See how many comments only you have dropped ! You must be living an isolated boring / idle life that makes you stay online. You have left a comment on almost every clip i've seen. Get a life, idiot !!! or at least SHUT UP !

[oluwalogbon58]

am just flabbergasted at the igorance that so many have about the continent of Africa , its amazing just how misguided the media can be.. its all about helplessness for them and it is far from being the whole picture..seriously we have a bad press..

[oluwalogbon58]

i said to her well the fact that the plane trips are full of africans coming and going tells you something else doesnt it? she still didnt get it.. the media has done a lot of damage to our image and continues to brow beat the descendants of the africans in the western world by its onslaught and mis information .

[oluwalogbon58]

poverty and grime not the whole picture and we know it, but they dont.. the media has a grip especially on americans in a way that it hasnt got else where... intellectual laziness does the rest.. on my last trip home i actually had a white airport worker ask why every plane going to africa was packed with africans when the place was a mud hut and disease ridden like she saw on the tv..? she couldnt understand why africans travelled to a disease ridden , warzone and why all the planes where full!

[vixxy02]

2.Because of the community center every week health visitors would come to check on the folks etc. Because of this positive contribution, they were given Chieftaincy tittles,which helped them to lobby for the community, to get proper roads,electricity and more teachers. In a nutshell they were accepted and regarded as true sons and daughters, nobody could say otherwise! If their attitude hadn't been humble,there's no way they would've lasted, and they're STILL there!

[oluwalogbon58]

they are there vixxy because they had the correct attidute .. thats why they gained and grew and helped the community they live in ... thats what am talking about, unfortunately many dont have the same humble attidute and dont get it.. they think they can come blaze us with their money like we have none in africa.. africa's image is tainted by the wars, the poverty , and the impression we all live in mud huts which can not be further than the truth.. rural communities are not the whole story.

[vixxy02]

@oluwalogbon58 ABSOLUTETLY! Everybody is a King in his own Kingdom, unfortunately some that have no Kingdom, think they can just steal the throne from the real king,forgetting that his subjects wont let it happen,rather they'll make him feel like an Emperor with no clothes on......in other words....AN IDIOT! lol!!

[oluwalogbon58]

its not the fault of that white person they dont know any better than what they are told. it would never occur to her that there must be more to it, if the evidence of her eyes tells her something that the news reports dont..lol!!

[vixxy02]

2. by the hostilities that they'll create for themselves, and they'll be the ones running away from Africa! They shouldn't expect anybody to be ready to be 'driving Miss Daisey' for peanuts and insults,else they'll be another Liberia.....only worse!

[oluwalogbon58]

@vixxy02 they dont want to listen so they will take the consequences of that refusal to understand when they come ot our countries with that attidute that its their time to be doing the miss daisy thing cos nobody is driving any of them anywhere unless they get paid.!.

[oluwalogbon58]

@vixxy02 americans are the worse offenders when it comes to cultural arrogance and ignorance, they have a name for them in jamaica they call them bossy and proud.. lol!! .. american blacks on the whole tend to be of the notion that africans have to subjugate themselves and when they find we dont even register them on our horizons it pisses them off.. they slap us, we slap them right back, no break no foul, do me i do you , god no go vex..

[vixxy02]

1.@oluwalogbon58 lol!! Granted there are a lot of them that assimilate very well, and those are the ones that seem to shun the city life, and prefer living in the villages, and contributing positively to the village community.One family I know did exactly that. They were both lecturers in UNICAL,and when their contract ended they stayed back and built a school and a community centre in the village .Every weekend they'd have maths and spelling competitions for the kids, and this was a success!

[oluwalogbon58]

there are those who claim to be white jews and chinese .. god have mercy !!

[oluwalogbon58]

. i have no time for black americans like her who are so self deluded that they invent a history and use their money to back it up.

[mcelite14]

Native pride!!!!

[unque43]

Missy5464 Oprah probably don't care for you either. but she don't need you to care for her. but, hey you have a right to your opinion. but like the old saying goes if you don't have something nice to say, say it with me come on, don't say nothing at all.

[FCntertainr]

This video did not say much , just an advertisement

[DD246]

most black ppls roots can be traced back to africa

[stealth423]

oprah hates white people

[arab3515]

wow i wish i could trace my ancestry down to africa. that would be very interesting. i do know one thing for sure about my family though, i have ancestors that where possibly rapped by their slavemaster because everybody from me, to my mom, and all the way back to my great(x4) grandfather we all have either green, hazel, or light brown eyes. and my great great grandparents have royal last names (KING,and ROYAL )

[britjanee]

thats true with many african american families. sme goes for mine- we tend to have a reddish tent to our skin and light brown/hazel eyes. true that the majory of african american heritage is black- but there are still other influences in there that make many african americans not only african.

[arab3515]

yeah my dad is mixed with creole/black/arabic and he has like a reddish tent to his skin as well.

but it is true that there are many other influences that make african americans not only african,

but although im proud of everything that i am, i personally take pride in my african blood more than anything ealse. thats why i would want to trace my ancestry down to africa.

[thoostorm4]

@arab3515 THAT FATASS IS A WHOLE TRIBE BY HERSELF

[extraterrestrialbibi]

@arab3515 i think your dad might come from the hausa tribe in west africa mostly in nigeria or the fulani tribe i know cause i have a fulani blood the fulani people are afro-arabic, and my step dad is also creole each bout the hausa/fulani tribe you will be amazed.

[arab3515]

@extraterrestrialbibi hmm thats interesting, I heard that most african americans are of the igbo tribe & mandika tribe

[CameroonStar]

You can trace your heritage. Look at my page on the videos for african ancestry.

[arab3515]

thank you so much,

i have a question,

who is that interesting person that you have on the background of your page???

[CameroonStar]

Its a masquerade of Bamileke People.

[Shellydelite]

Then another D.N.A test said She descends from the Kpelle people (who cluster in the Guinea Highlands of what is now central Liberia and Guinea), the Bamileke people (who cluster in modern-day Cameroon), and a Bantu tribe in Zambia. who knows

[sideshowbobmarley]

Shows u how big of a DUMB ASS Oprah is, Slaves werent taken from the Zulus to the Americas. Now hopefully she can stop buliding orphanages and schools for south africans, god knows her own brothers and sisters in america are in need too!!!

[theoneuneed09]

yes but at least they can afford the basics.think b4 u type

[biggsleezy]

most of the slaves were from tribes in west africa, zulus are in southern africa

[Shellydelite]

true

[biggsleezy]

I'm just advising becoz it's as if african americans a tryin to relate with south-africans or other people from other southern african countries when native southern africans had nothing to do with the slave trade

[oluwalogbon58]

well said, the south africans have nothing to do with slavery but that doesnt stop the blind ignorance of the black americans who refuse to accept this simple truth: they are all descendants of the west african sub saharan slave trade.. instead they invent stories and back it up with hyperbole and lies and half truths .. as for oprah i lost respect for that woman a long time ago..

[vixxy02]

@biggsleezy She really wished so badly to be of S.African decent,so she can justify her dealings in that country! To her being accepted by whites is more important, so S.Africa having the highest % of whites in Africa, would've suited her just nicely....Country club et al..lol! The fact that she denied her W.African heritage, is no skin of our noses....most of us DON'T like her anyway!

PEACE!!

[biggsleezy]

I was suspectin coz when on they try to portray southern african culture/issues; e.g S.African, Kenya, Zimbabwe etc.

thens americans, Including blacks will be comparing them to that of nigerian, ghanian, togolese, senegalese, liberian, etc culture.

[oluwalogbon58]

well said vixxy!! we dont like oprah she has a resentment against west africans and when they traced her dna to some place in west africa she was having none of it.. she denied it flat out.. her "claims " in south africa are totally ridiculous!! absurd and that slave mentality is still hard and fast.. she now talks like she is part of the white slave ownership now.. her money has given her a white skin in america lol!

[vixxy02]

@oluwalogbon58 Yesss! Just watch this space! Next she'll do a DNA test to trace her white ancestry, and OVER-CLAIM it! Then she'll make up some story about her African ancestor being a King, who MARRIED maasas daughter, so technically speaking she wouldn't be of slave ancestry!..lol!

Fact is no African country is begging anybody to return,but we are not driving away those that do, rather we are welcoming them, but not some of their attitudes! If they are coming to lord over us,they'll be shocked

[oluwalogbon58]

@vixxy02 yesso!! that is the cause of the beef between us and certain black americans and carribeans who think its their time to lord it over us cos the whiteman has subjugated them for so long.. wow!! oh boy!! are they in for a shock and a half.. back home we dont even think about aa or carribean at all, its not like they are in our face everyday those who choose to come accross to live and work amongst us are welcome but they can keep their attidutes back in their home countries we no go gree!

[oluwalogbon58]

@vixxy02 as for oprah, make she take her kudi and go and kayak with it. we have richer africans who dont do entertainment and dont thief and dont sell drugs..some of their attidutes are irritating to say the least.. anyway am not bothered..those of them that appreciate our cultures and come to learn are welcome, the rest of them and stick their mumbo jumbo up their gumbo tree..

[love112489]

what the hell..... why would i just wanna watch the commercial!!!!

wheres the rest!!!

[SRArepublican3]

oprah is fuckin dope!!

[minnielover600]

ok so u look up a video about oprah and yet u dont like her?!?

UM ok then?!?

I'm guessing u have alot going on in your life!

[Dawngail]

Watch the letters when the commentator is reading a journal from 1867. He is say the letter records a hanging by the KKK, either down the street or in the next town, he does not read the name that i saw as his fingures slid across the page. Watch very close to this part of the segment and you will see a very well known name written on that page. Dont' forget, you have to read it becouse the commentator does not read it out loud.

[cosmolilly]

I can't see it is it in this video or on the special itself? What is the name?
