I truly appreciate the time you took to feature parts of Saudi Arabia. It was informative and quite interesting. I was glad to see a more positive spin on Saudi Arabia simply because the negatives seem to be the narrative. I have to admit that I was surprised to see many blacks ( sorry if I'm being politically incorrect) in Saudi. I am aware of many people of different cultures who reside there especially those who are employed by contracts. I intend to watch your videos on Palestine simply because once again the narrative seems to be negative. Continue your videos and by all means ignore the trolls. Once again thank you for sharing your work on this platform. Many blessings to you.
Thanks for sharing your video !! I just subscribed. I went to school in the Middle East as a teenager and came to America in my early twenties. I can relate to most of what you saying. And by the way, Nte fanna mu Mandingo le ti !!!!! Keep up the good work and blessings to you.
Interesting was waiting for the Khalij part......am sure you will find them very reserved i did a story about them some years back..........perhaps impact of centuries old of being you know what......I hope July you make it for the Afro Turks festival .....I will be there...... Did you know that the Gulf Khalij Music is essentially rooted on East African bantu rhythms? I wish you can do something in Baharain and Qatar and the pearl diving history. There is a very active young Afro Saud community on instagram ....who are interested in connecting with blacks in all the African diaspora and Africa
I'm white British and have been living in Saudi for 18 years and khala (female of khali ) is a term of respect from a younger generation to address someone older but you like. Because khala or khali is the sister of your mum or brother of your mum. And usually you are closer to your mum's family so being called khala or khali is not about being black
From America, I just want to say thank you. Forgive Americans, especially the Israelite flavor, because we are overly zealous with a fire. This can have the opposite effect on cultivating understanding which is deeply needed to connect with each other. I am honored to have lived in Riyadh for almost six months last year during the middle of a cultural revolution. There are things moving and changing throughout the world which is providing clarity. I pray that you are blessed and keep spreading knowledge.
You are amazing!!! I love what you are doing breaking down the stereotypes, showing the world how beautiful people are and places. I would love to travel like you.
Salam I’m a black Saudi from Makkah I’m Brnawi (Brno) a tribe in Nigeria and my mom is Hosa a tribe in Nigeria too. What make me sad a lot of black Saudi they don’t now where there roots are from and they don’t care I think. I like ur video keep it up👍
Probably they don't care because they integrated into the society and they don't face a hell of racism as they progress and made a better living for themselves through the past years. However, I think they have the means to do so and know more about their ancestors, history, African tribes, and The black people in the diaspora.
D Baobob meanwhile black peoples are being sold into slavery by your so-called melanin arabs. Forced to live out their days in perpetual agony as you profess the love of arabs for black peoples.

Mandingo in America can also just mean a big, Strong Black man. I'm black American and that's what I was told growing up. My dad's family would say, "we're Mandingos. That's our African tribe," even though we really have no idea what tribes our ancestors belonged to, Mandingo was thought to be big and strong. The large "man parts" aspect hopefully dies off, because it's derogatory and reduces an entire ethnic group down to a sexual organ. I'm tired of the hypersexualization of Black folks.
Good question about which tribe of Mandingo the (Mandinka singular ) (Mandingo plural) (Mande the country or land) mainly live in savannah landlock even though they had seasonal land near the sea (Gambia ) they used to come back after harvest in the mainland Niani which is in mali now. After the Mandingo civil war, the coalition of all Mandingo, tribes, and allies created the empire of mali which become a reference for all of us. Mandingo were farmers and obsessed with the freedom even to have a king they had to draw a chart so the leader don't think he is better than the rest of the people he was indeed selected and brought from exile to be crowned as king of all Mandingo Sundiata Keita the chart is called ( chart of kulukanfuga). long story short slave the catchers with the help of a known tribe used to catch those seasonal workers usually by setup or surprise brought them to the Americas here is the movie we did about the creation of the empire of mali th-cam.com/video/95Khdd3PskE/w-d-xo.html

Mandinka not Mandingo. That word Mandingo is a western term used in pornography or porn movies to refers to black men with big cock. That's a degrading word and is too sexualize.

@@bazmayinza7962 Wrong. SOMALI were never slaves. There is even chronicle of some "Ahbash" ie Ethiopian, pirates from Barbara (N Somalia) attacked and invaded Jeddah during the reign of Abu Bakar Al Siddiq RA You are mistaking the fact Somalis used to export Oromo and Shanqul from Zaila and Bantu from Mogadishu means Somali wre slaves. You know in your heart Somali are not slaves... might as well call Yemenis slaves
@@bazmayinza7962 you have eyes and a brain so you tell me? Do Somalis not look like they have part Arab ancestry? In any case there are 6 main Somali clan groups, and 4 claim descent from actual Arab patriarchs that are chronicled in Middle eastern biographies. So these people existed. And their tombs are in present day Somalia.. Tomb of Ishaq ibn Hashem is in Mayt for eg and he was an Arab who spread Islam to the Horn of Africa region in the 1400s
Saudis usually dont refer themselve by their skin colour even white people. Calling a white person Ya Abyad (White) can also be considered a derogatory term in Saudi Arabia. People in Arabia like to be refered by their tribes or families. In many parts of Africa is also the same, they don't refer themselve by skin colour instead they refer themselve by their tribes.
Love that you educate us on the true history that is not taught in school books. Have you every thought about teaching Black History in the US at high school or college level?

The American Afro community is unique in a negative way, since of all the immigrants into this country, they are the only people without any identity. They have only their American identity, which given the past history is not very... They cannot relate with the other African diaspora, due this very same reason. All others have their origins, while American Blacks have non. On the other hand they are the only true Americans. with no other identity, they derive theirs from being Americans . Am I making any sense?
Don't pay no mind to the negative people , I watch you before when you did the black brothers and sister from India , you are doing great and we thank you for that Coming from a Caribbean sister , be safe also and watch out for Corona too , take care
In the horn of Africa. Including Djbouti the kushites are above 80%. Oromo the bigest, Somalies from all over, AAfar an other big group, Irob/Saho is an other group that is smaller found between Eritrea and Ethiopia. Many in the area also speak semitic languages yet is kushites blood.

if the Arabs call a black Asmar it's because they have the idea that Blacks don't like being qualified by their skin color yet. which is true in the past in western countries. It is a proof of politeness and of living together. it is not as some people believe that the word black is derogatory among Arabs. today the Blacks of america and europe are not offended when they are called Black, many are proud of it, but the Arabs live far from these countries ( Western cultures), so they are not aware of it. In North Africa, they use the word Kahlouch (which means a black person), but black people in France, believe that this word is derogatory, and they are angry for it. But also, if an Arab is whiter than the norm (like a European), the North Africans call him Ash-hab (fem. Shahbaâ or Sahbaâ), which means they don't consider themselves Whites. In North Africa, they do not use Asmar to designate the Blacks of the country, but Brothers of the South, or the people of the South.how are these Arabs going to satisfy everyone lol
Exactly, unfortunately arabs have been influenced a lot by american movies that we became too self-conscious about how should we act with black people because we do not want to sound offensive. The main root for this, is when watching american movies and when someone is being racist and calling a black person the N word or smth, the arabic subtitles try to find words to translate the insults and it was usually translated to "Zengi" or "Aswad", so we just started subconsciously thinking that these arabic words were racists, although if you look in arabic literature the words never had racist connotations and the word "Zengi" for example was usually used to describe a "strong man"
From India. Just want to share a bit of siddi history. There was a Siddi kingdom in the state of Maharashtra, founded by Mallik Amber Siddi. Sometime in the 14th century. Though reduced greatly through time, a part of it lasted till 1947, when it was integrated into India.
@@roz57 The difference between the American and other African diaspora, is that the former were deliberately deprived of their root identities. This can in result in a lot of trauma subconsciously. This is very very conspicuous in India. There are three groups of Siddis here, in the states of Gujarat, Karnataka and the city of Hyderabad. The Siddis of Karnataka were slaves brought by the Portuguese, and they have no memory of their origins, while the Siddis of Gujarat were people who came here as traders,soldiers or craftsmen who moved with the armies, have some memories. The Gujarat Siddis have their original village names as their surnames. The Hyderabad Siddis are more recent arrivals as soldiers and know more about their original identities than most. However there were many more Siddis, who came to India than their present population reflects. Wonder what happened to them?
Habibi, thank you for making this amazing videos. I have always wanted to visit Saudi Arabia. Hopefully we can connect someday when I visit, so you can show me around . Love from Washington DC.

Hello brother, i’m Saudi & i just came across your vlog so i would like to state that you are most welcome in Saudi Arabia. I also want to highlight the meaning of (Takroni), as we say it doesn’t mean insulting in bad or dirty way, it’s simply means (Backfire) so we usually use it when we refer to a guy who is easily got angry or crazy as fast as it goes. For example:- when someone got backfire , we say let him he is Takroni or he got Takran which means he is easy to backfire. Anyway, Takroni is not abusive word. Sorry to explain that long, and i do repeat that you are most welcome in Saudi Arabia. Keep it up and may ALLAH bless all of us. ✌🏻peace and love😘🌹A. AlShihri form south of KSA. Ciao ✋🏻😌
I'm a Saudi-born Mandingue and I was raised in America and something I caught onto fast was never to directly say that I am Mandingue or I risk being sexualized and made uncomfortable... I usually say that I am Malian or I speak a dialect of Malian
خال khaal means Uncle especially from the mother side because the father brother (uncle) in Aarabic have a different word (عم) so the uncle from the mother side = خال = khaal the uncle from the father side = عم = aam we in Saudi Arabia and the gulf in general call the black man (khaal) if it's not by his name.
mashAllah habib I've been heard what you said about mandingo in capoeira, and wallahi you straighened to the point! I'm brazilian and just like add, the word "mandinga" means confusing the opponent in the way as well. barakAllahu fik

ياصديقي العرب قبل الاسلام وبعد الاسلام يسمون الشخص ببلده مثلاً صهيب الرومي لانه من الروم وسلمان الفارسي نسبة الي الفرس هذا في ايام الرسول عليه السلام وبعد ذلك تجد مؤلف صحيح البخاري يسمي البخاري لانه من بخاره وتكروني من تكرون وسندي من السند وهوساوي من هوسا وجاوي من حاوه ، حتي اليوم السعوديين نقول مكاوي لانه من مكه و جداوي لانه من جده جيزاني من جيزان عسيري من عسير الخ،،،لا يوجد عنصريه حبيبي في التسميه ، اليوم لو عندي صديق اسود اقول له يا خال او ابو سمره لا يوجد زعل بيننا لان هذه ثقافتنا ومتعارفين عليها والجميع متقبلها لا تجد احد عندنا يقول عبد كما تجدها في الغرب الا شخص مجرم عنصري وهذه الكلمه مجرمه في المجتمع والقانون

In the horn of Africa. Including Djbouti the kushites are above 80%. Oromo the bigest, Somalies from all over, AAfar an other big group, Irob/Saho is an other group that is smaller found between Eritrea and Ethiopia. Many in the area also speak semitic languages yet is kushites blood.
Thank you for all the stuff here
May Allah reward you in this life and hereafter

Or baby,.
In fact, the word khaali means my uncle from the mother side..
Gilf Arabs consider themselves descendents of Muhammad Pbuh, the prophets mother was half black. It's actually an honoring nickname,
Really respect your move, thanks for the video, its very educating
In America, Mandingo also means very powerful and ruler of all.
Mandingo people in Ancient Africa they been powerful the Rulers and the Kings an Queens.
Golden Heart it’s nice to know that. I’ve lived in America almost my entire life and anytime I tell somebody that I am a Mandingo, I can see their reaction. Just look at the emoji for Mandingo!
Good question about which tribe of Mandingo the (Mandinka singular ) (Mandingo plural) (Mande the country or land) mainly live in savannah landlock even though they had seasonal land near the sea (Gambia ) they used to come back after harvest in the mainland Niani which is in mali now. After the Mandingo civil war, the coalition of all Mandingo, tribes, and allies created the empire of mali which become a reference for all of us.
Mandingo were farmers and obsessed with the freedom even to have a king they had to draw a chart so the leader don't think he is better than the rest of the people he was indeed selected and brought from exile to be crowned as king of all Mandingo Sundiata Keita the chart is called ( chart of kulukanfuga).
long story short slave the catchers with the help of a known tribe used to catch those seasonal workers usually by setup or surprise brought them to the Americas
here is the movie we did about the creation of the empire of mali

@Always Above You Thats Hollywood shit you have been feeding on....its not the truth....
I really like your videos and I think you are doing your best and your intention is clear and I wish you all the best
if the Arabs call a black Asmar it's because they have the idea that Blacks don't like being qualified by their skin color yet. which is true in the past in western countries. It is a proof of politeness and of living together. it is not as some people believe that the word black is derogatory among Arabs.
today the Blacks of america and europe are not offended when they are called Black, many are proud of it, but the Arabs live far from these countries ( Western cultures), so they are not aware of it.
In North Africa, they use the word Kahlouch (which means a black person), but black people in France, believe that this word is derogatory, and they are angry for it.
But also, if an Arab is whiter than the norm (like a European), the North Africans call him Ash-hab (fem. Shahbaâ or Sahbaâ), which means they don't consider themselves Whites.
In North Africa, they do not use Asmar to designate the Blacks of the country, but Brothers of the South, or the people of the South.how are these Arabs going to satisfy everyone lol
Exactly, unfortunately arabs have been influenced a lot by american movies that we became too self-conscious about how should we act with black people because we do not want to sound offensive. The main root for this, is when watching american movies and when someone is being racist and calling a black person the N word or smth, the arabic subtitles try to find words to translate the insults and it was usually translated to "Zengi" or "Aswad", so we just started subconsciously thinking that these arabic words were racists, although if you look in arabic literature the words never had racist connotations and the word "Zengi" for example was usually used to describe a "strong man"
I love your channel. It is so informative. Thank you.🙂💚
From India. Just want to share a bit of siddi history. There was a Siddi kingdom in the state of Maharashtra, founded by Mallik Amber Siddi. Sometime in the 14th century. Though reduced greatly through time, a part of it lasted till 1947, when it was integrated into India.
I wish black children in American could learn about the African diaspora, I think they would benefit a lot from knowing the truth about themselves.
@@roz57 The difference between the American and other African diaspora, is that the former were deliberately deprived of their root identities. This can in result in a lot of trauma subconsciously. This is very very conspicuous in India. There are three groups of Siddis here, in the states of Gujarat, Karnataka and the city of Hyderabad. The Siddis of Karnataka were slaves brought by the Portuguese, and they have no memory of their origins, while the Siddis of Gujarat were people who came here as traders,soldiers or craftsmen who moved with the armies, have some memories. The Gujarat Siddis have their original village names as their surnames. The Hyderabad Siddis are more recent arrivals as soldiers and know more about their original identities than most.
However there were many more Siddis, who came to India than their present population reflects. Wonder what happened to them?
OCS Thanks, I am learning so much form this channel. I will be passing on this knowledge.
Natenra Modi will never help them.
thank you so much for your positivity keep up with the good work may Allah bless you

#VISUALPOET 1# I LIKE WHAT YOU DOING,,, PLEASE CONTINUE..DON'T LET ANYONE DISTRACT OR DISCOURAGE YOU...
Habibi, thank you for making this amazing videos. I have always wanted to visit Saudi Arabia. Hopefully we can connect someday when I visit, so you can show me around . Love from Washington DC.
My husband is from The Gambia and I am from USA, I told him the same thing, that's what people think over here, it's from the slavery movies and nasty parties. I enjoy your energy, thank you!
I like how you visit the African community from parts of the world, it is interesting. As a Nigerian I love to learn about how black people integrate and how they are treated...love your work....
Hello brother, i’m Saudi & i just came across your vlog so i would like to state that you are most welcome in Saudi Arabia. I also want to highlight the meaning of (Takroni), as we say it doesn’t mean insulting in bad or dirty way, it’s simply means (Backfire) so we usually use it when we refer to a guy who is easily got angry or crazy as fast as it goes. For example:- when someone got backfire , we say let him he is Takroni or he got Takran which means he is easy to backfire. Anyway, Takroni is not abusive word. Sorry to explain that long, and i do repeat that you are most welcome in Saudi Arabia. Keep it up and may ALLAH bless all of us. ✌🏻peace and love😘🌹A. AlShihri form south of KSA. Ciao ✋🏻😌
LOVE YOUR SHOW, KEEP BRINGING THE TRUTH, LOVE IT.
You’re so funny bro 🤣😂😂
I love your videos bro.
I'm a Saudi-born Mandingue and I was raised in America and something I caught onto fast was never to directly say that I am Mandingue or I risk being sexualized and made uncomfortable... I usually say that I am Malian or I speak a dialect of Malian
Funny video
Ahhhh!!!
Stay tuned brother!!!
Good brother, I like your channel
خال khaal
means Uncle especially from the mother side
because the father brother (uncle) in Aarabic have a different word
(عم)
so
the uncle from the mother side = خال = khaal
the uncle from the father side = عم = aam
we in Saudi Arabia and the gulf in general call the black man (khaal) if it's not by his name.
I love your videos....thank you my brother!!!
This is so interesting to know that it is a lot of Blacks in Saudi Arabia!!! God be with you every step of the way!!!
Valuable informations,, in a funny style 😁😁😁👍👍👍 love and respect khali ♥️
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته يا أخ الكريم اتمني ان تكون بخير وصحة وسلامة
@Salam
شكرا حبيبي!!!
Good video. Stay safe brother.
What a beautiful spirit ❤️
Like your channel. Blessings to you!
Everyone in the West only lost their tribe on the physical but not metaphysically the ancestors WILL NEVER been forgotten 💯
mashAllah habib I've been heard what you said about mandingo in capoeira, and wallahi you straighened to the point! I'm brazilian and just like add, the word "mandinga" means confusing the opponent in the way as well. barakAllahu fik
welcome brother to Saudi arabia
I hope u have nice resident 🤗
*wish u a nice stay
In Saudi Arabia we all Muslim brothers
Prophet Mohammed teaches (There is no virtue of an Arab over a foreigner, nor a ... white over black nor black over white, except by righteousness.)
@@Brothergneiss1365 th-cam.com/video/0ZCIK8hRPh4/w-d-xo.html
Hope this is true my friend but its not, alot of foreigners are treated as second class citizens (Pakistani, Indians...etc)
@@Mn9daKing more than 22 millions non Saudi (Pakistanis and Indians) living and working in Saudi with peace. If what you said is true why they still here ??
Because they are in need for money? Its not just the indians and pakistani, its about the kafala system its self, im saudi myself. But the kafala system is a racist system
Interesting topic famliy it's a shame the media doesn't show the original dark skinned aboriginal humans that were here first
I am so glad to discover your channel bro. It is very educative. I am so amazed how you do all these travelling all over the world. You are so brave. Keep it up. I subscribed immediately. When i saw the title Afro Saudis, i did not even want to watch it at first. I thought they were just some foolish people pretending to be Arabs. Now i know they are real people. Thanks
ياصديقي العرب قبل الاسلام وبعد الاسلام يسمون الشخص ببلده مثلاً صهيب الرومي لانه من الروم وسلمان الفارسي نسبة الي الفرس هذا في ايام الرسول عليه السلام وبعد ذلك تجد مؤلف صحيح البخاري يسمي البخاري لانه من بخاره وتكروني من تكرون وسندي من السند وهوساوي من هوسا وجاوي من حاوه ،
حتي اليوم السعوديين نقول مكاوي لانه من مكه و جداوي لانه من جده جيزاني من جيزان عسيري من عسير الخ،،،لا يوجد عنصريه حبيبي في التسميه ،
اليوم لو عندي صديق اسود اقول له يا خال او ابو سمره لا يوجد زعل بيننا لان هذه ثقافتنا ومتعارفين عليها والجميع متقبلها
لا تجد احد عندنا يقول عبد كما تجدها في الغرب الا شخص مجرم عنصري وهذه الكلمه مجرمه في المجتمع والقانون
@عبد الله عبد الرحمن
متفك معك ١٠٠ في ١٠٠ إلا أن لفظ "العبد" لم يمسح كاملا من أذهان العرب. يستعملونه في وقت الخلاف والغضب!!!
I agree with you 💯
BUT the word "abd/slave" has not been erased yet from Arabs mind only used when one is angry and mad!!!
للاسف بعض العنصريين يقولونها اثناء الخلاف لكنهم قلة ولا يعكسون المجتمع لكن الاكثريه لا يستخدمونها ، اتفق معك
مسألة انو هذي ثقافتنا والكل متفق عليها تفكير سطحي جدا واحادي، السبب اللي مخليهم ساكتين عنها ومتقبلينها لانهم الاقلية وبكثرة تنسمع، لازم تحط نفسك بدال الشخص اللي تقوله الكلمة وناديه باسمه ياخي
@@visualpoet1 و انا متفق معاك ولكن كلمة عبد تقال للأبيض و الاسود
الكلمة خاطئة
ولاكن في جدة في حي شعبي تربيت فيه
لم اسمعها تقال اثناء الغضب الا مرة واحدة
ولاكن الخال رد بعلم و افحم العنصري
فضحكنا كلنا على العنصري
ولم نسمعها مرة اخرى في الحي
Khal says : its for black and white
He mean the word(abd)
Yes i'm abd to only one god
And you worship the racism
visualpoet1 totally agree in Saudi we dont address racism enough
U are doing great job bro My God bless u
