I know this is an old video, but u'd be surprised how relevant the THEME still is 2day..So I'm going 2 comment. I agree with u when u say AAs can call themselves what they like, because quite frankly, it's embarassing how little they know of that CONTINENT- which I'm sure most of them don't even know is a CONTINENT!! I'm Naija myself, and I've little patience with ppl who're so out of touch..I mean, the last thing I wanna do is give these DOLTS a HISTORY lesson..Anyways, loved ur vid! I subbed.

@kingofpendragon Thanks for Subbing. You will enjoy the new series on International Students that am doing.

Many Black Americans dont want to be called African American because culturally African Americans and Africans are very different. The average Black person in America has no relatives (who they know) living in Africa. Its not as if Blacks came to America 80 yrs ago. Blacks have been in America for 400 years and had most of their African culture stripped away. They were forced to created a new culture (the Black culture). African American for me is a bit pretentious. Africa is great though.

[MonsieurMercredi]

@BLACKNBIG1, I respect your opinions and views on this subject; your opinions are important to you, and they're possibly important to your family, but my views are how I choose to approach this topic. I don't ask for your permission, nor do I ask for Native African's permission, and I don't ask for anyone else's permission when I speak about or refer to MY ancestors. I'll see, view, and speak of them in any terms that I like, and I don't apologize to anyone for that.

Au revoir BLACKNBIG1!

[BLACKNBIG1]

P@MonsieurMercredi I never said that I was a shame of my ancestors I said that the term Slave be little them and all that they have done for this country because they were more than just slaves.

[MonsieurMercredi]

But.... I speak only for myself when I say this: I FORGIVE the African descendants of the traitorous Africans that sold my ancestors into slavery.

I'm still trying to forgive Whites for slavery, but White Americans continues to disenfranchise my fellow African-Americans, even today; therefore, they make it very hard for me to see them as being any different from their treacherous, murderous, rapist ancestors.

THIS IS NOT ALL WHITES, but many Whites have not shown a different face to me.

[MonsieurMercredi]

And those Native African traitors that sold their fellow Africans into slavery to Europeans, along with their descendants, are also the ones that should be ashamed of themselves. I believe that many West Africans still have much guilt about what their deceitful ancestors did, during the slave trade period. Whites are NOT the only guilty party--our African brothers and sisters have blood on their hands too.

[MonsieurMercredi]

My ancestors that were slaves in the USA were a people that never gave up hope--they continued to be ambitious; once slavery ended, they were very successful business men and women. Slavery is NOTHING for African-Americans to be ashamed of--it's slave-owning Whites and their descendants that should be ashamed of slavery, with the exception of those of us that have the unfortunate fate of also being descendants of slave masters, like me and my family.

[MonsieurMercredi]

@BLACKNBIG1 being embarrassed about our ancestors position, within the history of American society will NOT change the fact that they were indeed slaves. Unlike most African-Americans, I have images of my great-great-great grandparents, and all of their descendants to-date (my entire family). These pictures stretch back to the late 1700s. I find NO shame in the history of my Native American, African, and Jewish Ancestry.

It is my African ancestry that I'm most proud of. You do what you like

[BLACKNBIG1]

@MonsieurMercredi We must stop calling our ancestors slaves because the term (SLAVE) be little them,our ancestors was Africans whom just happened to be enslaved.
