The owner of African Stream is a Sudanese who was based in London.He relocated to live in Kenya a few years ago and set up African Stream.His TH-cam channel grew exponentially within a few years and rival channels doing similar videos and content as him saw the channel as a big threat.Also many African and Western Governments were not happy with the content due to the many negative criticisms about them.
But also they are getting money from Russian politicians and others trying to do what the Western governments do and that's interrupt black thoughts.

As a Black American male teacher, we need more Black male & female teachers teaching our Black children. Education is what starts the stimulation and innovation of the things being talked about. This was the case before America’s integration initiatives took place.
First! Parents need to actually "raise" their children at home so that teaching does not become hazardous to one's mental and physical health. Kids today are very unruly and disrespectful. My mother was a teacher during my entire childhood...she truly enjoyed being a part of a child's development but would NOT survive as a teacher today to these belligerent no-home-trained students today.

Yes it would make a difference this would need to be owned by our communities not owned by people who have imperial interests like the amerikkkan president or liberals who follow the status quo oppressing us
Yes it can and could make a difference, but first let’s address the fact that many western born black men are academically educated on western diets.. some of these men never tasted or even has distaste for their own heritage and cultural foods they’ve heard from whites taste like poverty.. so, this type of black man simply is black on the outside yes.. but his inside.. well let’s just say YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
The "status quo" changed quite a lot under Obama. US became _kinda_ cool with Cuba again, the paradigm towards healthcare provision changed in spite of fierce pushback, US moved away from micromanaging the Middle East to trying to micromanage the South East Asia/South China Sea region
Interesting as always. I think that black media platforms have always suffered from trying to identify what they want to be. Trying to instantly compete with large online platforms creates a lot of expectation from investors and users about immediate growth. On the other hand being a small but consistent place for communication takes time and commitment to the clarity of a given mission, whether that is black media or alternative media that happens to be black owned. I don't think being a "black" platform is specific enough. I also think the timing (in the midst of a year full of elections) is probably not great.
@@barrydnv7513 Great points. This whole topic (or group of topics) is quite complex. There are issues to do with capital, knowledge/skills, and as you say, things like commitment, sense of vision and purpose. A platform doesn't just come into existence

To embrace technology and the future, people need to come from a culture that values tenets like open mindedness and thinking outside of the box. I dont believe many blk African peoples are optimised for embracing tech because many traditional beliefs or upbringing suppresses critical thinking skills. Being disciplined in the harsh way many african children are only promotes docility. For these reasons, i have little faith that we as a collective will pioneer any form of technology that will benefit the day to day lives of africans. Culture and mindset needs to be expanisve enough to embrace the change and evolution technology can bring. Right now, many africans still sweep floors with reed branches and do other unnecessary manual labours when we have the tech to alleviate it, saving time and energy, which could be spent in more productive tasks... Great video as always

@@IntrovertMaxxing Woah. Very weighty input bro. This "children are there to be seen and not heard" is such a toxic phenomenon. For example, I hate to see children being shunted into the corner during family gatherings. We should bring them into conversations and encourage them to express their views and engage with topics. I also think we can be overly short sighted. We need more of us to make sacrifices now so our children will have the space and time to grow into themselves, learn what they're interested in. And we must ensure that we are able to provide them with the means and motivation to pursue their interests in a way that can create tangible outcomes. Those are just my initial thoughts. Thanks for adding depth to the convo fam 🙏🏿
Thanks for this. Obviously we should have our own everything and just as obvious why we don't, but point taken. My takeaways: I'm introduced to you. Thank you very much, and more importantly - your comments section informed me that African Stream is on Rumble. I'm soooo happy.
You can run your own electricity with diesel generators and improve it with solar panels if possible. This is a none sense excuse. You can run your own power source if you want. Solar energy is the best in Africa, so is wind and thermal energy. You can make a massive African data center that is up 99.99% of the time easily. Most companies use multiple external data centers across the world, so you never are locked to one region and it's issues. You want a social media that you control. You own private social media. The data centers don't have to be in Africa. But even if you want them to be in Africa. Is Africa all dark all at once? Have data centers in Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Senegal, etc... The way the infrastructure is keep up 99.9% of the time is through the use of a multinational system of communication infrastructure.
I assume there are no mobile networks in Africa that are on nearly most of the time? They need power you know, and backup power is not a thing right? 🙂

Sir I would like to respectfully disagree with your, "fair" assessment you cannot compare African stream to white supremacist media propaganda this is totally out of line
@@brevardporter8465 That part was to compare them. It was to show that channels of all stripes get taken down. Race isn't necessarily a driving factor.
It is noble what you are saying. My experience is when Africans know that it is a fellow African who own the platform they will make a job out of it to destroy it. This is the biggest most people don't make the investment.
This is me . . . you deleted my post with the links. Holla at me? I know where the "bodies are buried". Chat GPT is not a good idea in the long run because they are erasing history as we speak
I don’t understand this video because it’s not like most other nations have their own platforms, it’s really mainly America and China. It’s not like there are any British platforms
You missed the point... he who owns runs the world... Due to white supremacy, other white nations don’t need to fear if another white person has a corporation... Same way if a Nigerian owned a platform, a Kenyan will be fine... If you’re blk, neither of these owners promote anything positive for you, and you do not have any voice except one that suits them... Example, look at shacarri Richardson, she is complete trash. Yet the media push her so young blk girls will follow her. All the rap music glorifying blk on blk violence, have you seen them promote the equivalent for white men🤷🏾♀️ If you don’t own it, you don’t control the narrative

Arm Holdings should have left Intel behind years ago but they don’t build - they just license out designs 🤷♂️ There are British platforms and companies but it seems their lack of diversity (in multiple senses) has prevented them from really establishing a solid footing on the global stage.
We need to create our own! There are enough Black millionaires and billionaires to create our own platforms! We can do this. We're too busy consuming. I'm on it...now.
It goes deeper than media platforms. On the international level black people are the least competitive. Therefore we entirely depend on the nations that oppress us for all of our needs. This condition of grave dependancy on the heathen for our lives is actually the fullfillment of the prophesy of deuteronomy 28, because we are the true children of Israel
Can you not see this dreadful cycle? You embrace your own downfall because you believe it's biblical. You might have to get rid of these books that keep your mind in stasis, accepting the position of a loser in life 😮
This is a lesson from The Creator for BP and Africans to create their own media platforms. When you allow someone else to feed you, they can starve you out at any time. Remember that…
Bro it's funny, i am 5 years deep into developing a Black Owned Social Media Enterprise, hopefully to be release in a few months... and then your video comes up... ;)
How about BP create their own platform instead of always depending on other people to create something for them. Secondly, could it be people are fed up of the same mediocre talking points of relationships, dating and obsessing over other races of women. The crab in the barrel mentality and low bar conversation is tiring.
Some of us are good at pointing out imaginary situations, but do nothing about it themselves. All those global platforms you point out are used by everyone, Africans, non Africans etc. They are not aimed at one race or another, they just want to make money. And if you made a platform aimed at just one race it probably wouldn't take off globally in the way TH-cam or Facebook have. People want simple utility. Does it do the job I need done? You can be African, Chinese, whatever. In the end you're just one individual out of 7 billion. Making your own way through the world. We don't need an African only platform, maybe just better platforms than we currently have. But it doesn’t have to be aimed at Africans, just like TH-cam is aimed at anyone. Getting removed from social media doesn’t just happen to Africans. It happened to Trump.and many others. Social media thrives on victimisation narratives, but those are not real problems. Yes, it would be great to see an African set up the next big thing globally in social media. But it doesn't necessarily need to be aimed at just Africans. It simply needs to be good. Let's stop complaining and start actually doing.
You are aiming for inclusivity and acceptance forget others. China has several social media networks only they use and support. It's all about support from Africa and black people worldwide.
Thanks for this information. Is it possible for you to create the educational information about doing it ourselves. For example, you speak of blockchain but do not show how we can learn and/or use it. I understand this is a quick video with important information for which I am thankful and grateful. Just an idea for content if you ever need it, because the "how to" to solutions are as important as speaking about creating our own solutions. Thanks, continue the great work, brother.

Africans sold their own families into slavery.
Africans and Arabs prolific slave traders....but that would not fit the victim mentality would it?. Just keep playing into the globalist agenda and when you realise the facts you will soon see the gaslighting. Inconvenient truth.

They were true victims of large-scale industrialised slavery which lasted 400 years . Very different from infighting tribes and nations that took slaves from each other. The same was happening in Europe

Sure. One reason could be not having supportive women who spread vitriol on their men. Just a thought
@@IntrovertMaxxingAnother could be they are too busy chasing the wrong...and missing the boat then blaming their failure on bad luck- just a thought.

Would it make a difference if it was Black owned? The Black president of the US made no difference to the status quo
@@bl00dhoney Good point
Yes it would make a difference this would need to be owned by our communities not owned by people who have imperial interests like the amerikkkan president or liberals who follow the status quo oppressing us
Yes it can and could make a difference, but first let’s address the fact that many western born black men are academically educated on western diets.. some of these men never tasted or even has distaste for their own heritage and cultural foods they’ve heard from whites taste like poverty.. so, this type of black man simply is black on the outside yes.. but his inside.. well let’s just say YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
The "status quo" changed quite a lot under Obama. US became _kinda_ cool with Cuba again, the paradigm towards healthcare provision changed in spite of fierce pushback, US moved away from micromanaging the Middle East to trying to micromanage the South East Asia/South China Sea region

Interesting as always. I think that black media platforms have always suffered from trying to identify what they want to be. Trying to instantly compete with large online platforms creates a lot of expectation from investors and users about immediate growth.
On the other hand being a small but consistent place for communication takes time and commitment to the clarity of a given mission, whether that is black media or alternative media that happens to be black owned. I don't think being a "black" platform is specific enough.
I also think the timing (in the midst of a year full of elections) is probably not great.
@@barrydnv7513 Great points. This whole topic (or group of topics) is quite complex. There are issues to do with capital, knowledge/skills, and as you say, things like commitment, sense of vision and purpose. A platform doesn't just come into existence

Great content King 👑 😊
Dont worry sir. we are building.
Invest in infrastructure my bruvers asap stop buying there brands n tech
They need to go over to FANBASE!!
To embrace technology and the future, people need to come from a culture that values tenets like open mindedness and thinking outside of the box. I dont believe many blk African peoples are optimised for embracing tech because many traditional beliefs or upbringing suppresses critical thinking skills. Being disciplined in the harsh way many african children are only promotes docility.
For these reasons, i have little faith that we as a collective will pioneer any form of technology that will benefit the day to day lives of africans.
Culture and mindset needs to be expanisve enough to embrace the change and evolution technology can bring. Right now, many africans still sweep floors with reed branches and do other unnecessary manual labours when we have the tech to alleviate it, saving time and energy, which could be spent in more productive tasks... Great video as always
You haven’t taken a look at Nigerian startups raising international VC money to capture African consumers on their platforms 😊
We have Nigerian car startups, social media startups, online retail startups, media tech (animation, 3D, creation studio) startups, etc.
What we don’t have is a strong capital base supporting innovation and experimentation.
@@b1ueocean cool. Other societies have had these things for decades now. The thing about tech is that usually the early adopters are the ones who reap the most reward and lead the market
@@IntrovertMaxxing I have to agree with that 👍
@@IntrovertMaxxing Woah. Very weighty input bro. This "children are there to be seen and not heard" is such a toxic phenomenon. For example, I hate to see children being shunted into the corner during family gatherings. We should bring them into conversations and encourage them to express their views and engage with topics.
I also think we can be overly short sighted. We need more of us to make sacrifices now so our children will have the space and time to grow into themselves, learn what they're interested in. And we must ensure that we are able to provide them with the means and motivation to pursue their interests in a way that can create tangible outcomes.
Those are just my initial thoughts. Thanks for adding depth to the convo fam 🙏🏿
Why don't you organize and creat a forum for all black content creators to come together to support this vision?
One Alkebulan in our lifetime!
Censorship is bad. I will defntly watch African Stream on different platforms.
NOBODY in the American "new Black media" is covering this...
Thanks for this. Obviously we should have our own everything and just as obvious why we don't, but point taken. My takeaways: I'm introduced to you. Thank you very much, and more importantly - your comments section informed me that African Stream is on Rumble. I'm soooo happy.
Well said bredda where is African stream now. U.K inna Di house. nice one about Bitcoin
Nice to see that you mentioned Bitcoin
Turn to the another part of the world where the platform is acceptable. It's true creation of our own. It's time to start our own.
Sorry bro but modern communications demands 24 hours electricity grid. This seems to be a road block almost everywhere in the African world by design.
You can run your own electricity with diesel generators and improve it with solar panels if possible. This is a none sense excuse.
You can run your own power source if you want. Solar energy is the best in Africa, so is wind and thermal energy. You can make a massive African data center that is up 99.99% of the time easily.
Most companies use multiple external data centers across the world, so you never are locked to one region and it's issues.
You want a social media that you control. You own private social media. The data centers don't have to be in Africa.
But even if you want them to be in Africa. Is Africa all dark all at once? Have data centers in Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Senegal, etc...
The way the infrastructure is keep up 99.9% of the time is through the use of a multinational system of communication infrastructure.
I assume there are no mobile networks in Africa that are on nearly most of the time? They need power you know, and backup power is not a thing right? 🙂
@@panafrican.nation right! Like free speech is not a thing also
Censorship ain't no thang. African voices doesn't need to be heard even by ' us '. Especially 'us', our understandings night change and that ' slave revolution ' could be successful. Hmmmmmm

Our problem remains if the colonizers don’t recognize us or praise we don’t feel comfortable that’s why we have our own

Africa has talent all over. Why can't they create their own platforms for Africa alone
Lack of resources and capital also very socialist government that like to take things and destroy for their own benefit
We had App Developers and forward technologies created in Africa…we have super rich African billionaires….when those two meet we can create our own. No biggie. Where is the leadership?
The Western World can't handle criticism!
Sir I would like to respectfully disagree with your, "fair" assessment you cannot compare African stream to white supremacist media propaganda this is totally out of line
@@brevardporter8465 That part was to compare them. It was to show that channels of all stripes get taken down. Race isn't necessarily a driving factor.
It costs billions in losses to do what TH-cam does.
It is noble what you are saying. My experience is when Africans know that it is a fellow African who own the platform they will make a job out of it to destroy it. This is the biggest most people don't make the investment.
Thank you for this we need our own channel

❤Very true! It is their platform. Planet Earth is a closed system. Don’t like your brother? You still gotta live with him.
I don’t understand this video because it’s not like most other nations have their own platforms, it’s really mainly America and China. It’s not like there are any British platforms
You missed the point... he who owns runs the world... Due to white supremacy, other white nations don’t need to fear if another white person has a corporation...
Same way if a Nigerian owned a platform, a Kenyan will be fine...
If you’re blk, neither of these owners promote anything positive for you, and you do not have any voice except one that suits them... Example, look at shacarri Richardson, she is complete trash. Yet the media push her so young blk girls will follow her. All the rap music glorifying blk on blk violence, have you seen them promote the equivalent for white men🤷🏾♀️ If you don’t own it, you don’t control the narrative

@coolida23511 thats state television, every country has state television/news channels

We will never get too far in their system
We need to create our own! There are enough Black millionaires and billionaires to create our own platforms! We can do this. We're too busy consuming. I'm on it...now.
So much for freedom and democracy in the West ... No such thing.
What are u talking about? The algorithm is not the issue. Its just hard for ppl to leave exisiting platforms.
It goes deeper than media platforms. On the international level black people are the least competitive. Therefore we entirely depend on the nations that oppress us for all of our needs.

This is a lesson from The Creator for BP and Africans to create their own media platforms. When you allow someone else to feed you, they can starve you out at any time. Remember that…
“Chosen ones” are behind every scene!!! open your eyes wide so you can see!!!!!
It's still on Rumble though.😊
Very true
Bro it's funny, i am 5 years deep into developing a Black Owned Social Media Enterprise, hopefully to be release in a few months... and then your video comes up... ;)
African Stream is still on X, formerly Twitter.
How about BP create their own platform instead of always depending on other people to create something for them. Secondly, could it be people are fed up of the same mediocre talking points of relationships, dating and obsessing over other races of women. The crab in the barrel mentality and low bar conversation is tiring.
Some of us are good at pointing out imaginary situations, but do nothing about it themselves. All those global platforms you point out are used by everyone, Africans, non Africans etc. They are not aimed at one race or another, they just want to make money. And if you made a platform aimed at just one race it probably wouldn't take off globally in the way TH-cam or Facebook have.
People want simple utility. Does it do the job I need done? You can be African, Chinese, whatever. In the end you're just one individual out of 7 billion. Making your own way through the world. We don't need an African only platform, maybe just better platforms than we currently have. But it doesn’t have to be aimed at Africans, just like TH-cam is aimed at anyone.
Getting removed from social media doesn’t just happen to Africans. It happened to Trump.and many others. Social media thrives on victimisation narratives, but those are not real problems.
Yes, it would be great to see an African set up the next big thing globally in social media. But it doesn't necessarily need to be aimed at just Africans. It simply needs to be good. Let's stop complaining and start actually doing.
You are aiming for inclusivity and acceptance forget others. China has several social media networks only they use and support. It's all about support from Africa and black people worldwide.
The Chinese and the Russians have platforms for themselves only, and they've been doing great for over 2 decades....
