African Immigrants Turn to Argentina for Opportunity

[dgflyer]

History shows that there have been blacks in Argentina for several hundreds of years. Their numbers might have shrunk after WW1/WW2, but the African presence has been there all along. I think Argentinians are just not aware enough of their own history.

What happened to the sound on this video??

[manuuelb]

Stop bolivians, paraguayans, africans, peruvians, stop illegal immigration in Argentina!

[patricia4127]

@manuuelb No...Stop being racist!!

[SteelFoundation]

May Jesus protect you my African brothers and sisters in this land....be strong !!

[SouthernSalute]

Heil hitler niggers stay out of white lands

[patricia4127]

@SouthernSalute Since when does white people make/own anything!!...GOD owns everything. You are not superior!!

[VOICESINMYHEAD1]

I honestly believe that the Africans won't stay very much in Argentina, because of our culture economy and the way we do things... I think they'ed be more comfortable in Brazil, or Uruguay, or Colombia... You know cause in Argentina were really EUROPEAN.

[patricia4127]

@VOICESINMYHEAD1 No...What you really are is racist and ignorant!

[VOICESINMYHEAD1]

@patricia4127 I'm not being racist, I'm just warning because in all of my life that I lived in Argentina ive never seen a dark person there, ONLY if I visit Brazil or Uruguay ... In Argentiona our culture is VERY differnent and just saying they won't fit in our get used to it, I'm not being racist I'm just saying.

[VOICESINMYHEAD1]

Ok guys I'm Argentinan And the term that we use No hay negros en Argentina Wich means The aren't blacks in Argentina Is used alot because Its true Of all my years living there Iv'e never seen a black person walking in the streets, and I'm not being racist or anything I'm just saying In Argentina there are 98% EUROPEANS, and yes it's true that Argentinans are white. But I think that the blacks wont be liking Argentina that much considering our culture and economy thell probably go to Brazil.

Do the African men there drive cabs too like they do in the US? That's the only thing they know how to do.

[infinitenostromo]

@bdfsyuew Your comment is really stupid, and no, the African mean here in Argentina do many different things, driving cabs is not they only thing they do.

Guys I am very shocked about the comments here, first of all Africa is a continent that have lot of potential, but is poor because of the world political issue. and for an African migrate to South America, I don't hear that more often, there is also lot of European, American, Asian and South American in Africa. Some time we need to understand people and know that Africa is not going to stay that way for ever, where are lot of changes happening there.

[oktwx101]

@oktwx101 And for a long time African have maintain good relationship with south America but I don't think South America his far ahead of where we are right now, things man change instead of complaining and trying to know why other people are in some else country we need to hold our hands to gether and move the same way, just like EU and the US, it's good example for us. Do Most of the people here know the potential that Africa have? No disrespect to S American but it's a question to consider.

[oktwx101]

Africa has a large quantity of natural resources including oil, diamonds, gold, iron, cobalt, uranium, copper, bauxite, silver, petroleum, but also woods and tropical fruits. It has lots of its natural resources undiscovered or barely tapped. Having a low human density, for a long period of time Africa has been colonized by more dynamic groups, exploiting African resources. Some economists have talked about the 'scourge of raw materials',

[oktwx101]

Some of the largest, and richest, mineral deposits in the world have been found in Africa. For much of the last half of the 20th century little mineral exploration and development work was done in Africa, except for southern Africa, even though there is significant potential for the discovery of new deposits. By the mid 1990's modern exploration started to spread across much of Africa and many new deposits have been discovered and developed and some of the old major deposits are being renovated

[oktwx101]

So try to learn about a continent before treating all people like the way that some of you guys talk like if Africa was like the worst and tiniest country in the world. And it people have nothing else to do beside go somewhere else. but as today Africa is still the 2nd largest and populous continent in the world after Asia. twice larger than south America and 3 time populous than them, with 30% of the world mineral resources. just to prove the there are still people in Africa!

[oktwx101]

and we are all not in Europe America or south America. There is a majority of us in Africa and we are proud of what we have. Al this is not to beef with my South American brothers but just to tell them that some people that don't understand thing need to start doing research before talking about people. China may be soon the world most powerful country but the are everywhere. Every country need immigration to develop, even Africa do. we may be the poorest but with a promising future! think!

[infinitenostromo]

@oktwx101 Argentina is a multiracial and multiethnic country, and that's great.

[infinitenostromo]

@oktwx101 I live in a very small and pretty town in Argentina, and the other day walking around I've met two gus from Senegal! We are really far away from Senegal, but they're living here, so yes, there is an African immigration to Argentina.

[oktwx101]

@infinitenostromo I meet Argentinians in south Africa the other day there is Argentinians migrating to Africa!?!? I meet Argentinians in Namibia the other day so yes there is Argentinians migrating to Africa? we have great countries in Africa and the middle east as well, but why are they in Argentina? the didn't come by boat the apply for a visa and take the plane and do business over there. like other european folks. every country have the amount of immigration.

[infinitenostromo]

@oktwx101 Dear God! Those statistics being shown are taken from the Embassy, the UNA, CIA, etc etc etc, are not inventions of our mind. Are you really that stupid? Get back to your box, please. You don't even need a Visa to live in Argentina, you just come as an illegal, and the government will make everything for you. Stay in your great country in Africa then. God bless you.

[oktwx101]

@infinitenostromo u rely dont understand what i am talking about anyway this comment is going out of order, never mind bye!

[crazyfabio1]

@SearchAndBuild Eastern Europe is far better then any black country in world

[Theblizzardking]

These filthy tribal thugs can do no good.

[Estuardino71]

wrong... I think argentinias have become their own race, not italians nor white europeans, I too, had the idea that they speak spanish with italian accent, but now that I'been to Buenos Aires I can tell you that I hear them with a little of galician(from Galicia spain) more than italian and I can see the the Latin American ties at 4:30 in your video, won't you agree?

[milkshooter75]

NO AUDIO!!

[jorge1761]

Y que problema hay??? si en Argentina lo que falta es gente honesta que quiera trabajar y cumplir las leyes..... ò acaso alguno eligiò el paìs donde nace????? que venga los que quieran ....siempre y cuando dejen entrar libremente ellos tambièn.... caso contrario...aplicar reciprocidad, asì sean Españoles, Italianos, Yankies, ò japoneses... si piden visa... pidamos visa..... si cobran por entrar, cobremos nosotros tambièn.... algo asì como su propia medicina...viò?

[MegaBlackunity]

There are plenty of poor people in RUSSIA and in the BALKANS looking for ways to get out ..why you did not expose them online? There are plenty of African countries doing quite well than some of the east Europeans countries ,,,why you did not expose your poverty ? You are just a racist bastard looking for ways to show your existance like if some cares about you...

[crazyfabio1]

@MegaBlackunity every east european country is far better than any black country

[blueiguy1]

@crazyfabio1 Really? Have you been to a lot of African countries? I hope you don't rely on You tube video for your information. But Africa is a HUGE place with a lot of peaceful countries such as Mozambique,Botswana,South Africa ,Zambia. etc its only conflict in specific areas

[SearchAndBuild]

@crazyfabio1 dude eastern europe is poor and dirty..there are many african nations i would rather live in than eastern europe

[MegaBlackunity]

That is not true ...THERE ARE RICH AND poor countries in AFRICA...It`s human nature that people move from one place to another to seek opportunity. Do not make this an AFRICAN issue...You are just as KUKLUXKLAN member looking for ways to look down on black people...He is out there doing business ...Not because he is starving ...don't be retarded when it comes to report stuff.
