We've learned to explain our situation while omitting the violators.
Whites are being destroyed. They are much more oppressed. Sorry if you look into it. Society is bending itself in a pretzel tk ensure you succeed while the others go extinct. Your not victims. Your a protected class. ENOUGH
He’s absolutely right
He's an activist with a spin
If you are functioning in a dysfunctional society, by proxy you are also dysfunctional! And physical, visual, vocal, mental, emotional health are irrelevant if the soul and spirit aren’t healthy first and foremost! Some of us are human beings, others human doers but very few are Soular entities ‘being human’ for now…Amenet Nyamen 🙌🏾
Medaase for the wisdom please keep up the great work!
I think that's why they got rid of the term soul brother and soul sister back in the 90s The godfather of Soul . Papa needs a Brand New 💰 bag
Oh my lord. You are so right brother. Thank you for enlightening me I will never forget your words❤
I'm with u Mr. @marvinharms1891... I'll never 4get these Wise yet Educated Words❤
I was in Africa from 2022 to the end of 2023. I never seen a raging or unpleasant African. No road rage, no hyper aggression, nor extremely anxious people…until I got around us Americans while working there.
Why should we be? We are in our own environment..we move freely across boundaries...and assimilate with those who are open..we don't look down on others..
Lol I guess u was in East africa because fo to Congo or Nigeria, road rages all the time
@@africaine4889 Let’s be clear, road rage in Africa is much different than road rage in U.S. IYKYK.
@@MwariWeSimba I guess unpleasant Africans do exist lol.
@@robertcomfort2186 A few slaps and punches are exchanged... Nothing dramatic.
He just broke down unfairness inequality that African Americans go through on a daily basis which is causing all negative emotions we are going through
As a Ghanaian I can honestly write that he has know knowledge of Africa and the corruption,greed,poverty,and violence .
Many Africans depression comes out as desperation hence the strength to travel abroad by ANY MEANS NECESSARY
African Americans have a cultural problem that celebrates death and self-destruction. That's the biggest issue right now.
It's all in your head.
Grand rising. Thank you master teacher BABA JAMES SMALL son of the soil. ❤
Thank you Professor. I've been saying this for years. Brother Sutek said an American doesn't have to put African in the front of American. People can look at you and tell your distant ancestors are from Africa.
THANK YOU ,Prof. Smalls for your input of what has so bothered us in the Black community!!! Your true insight is like breath of fresh air we sorely need in this world of seemingly of indifference!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Professor James Small is a phenomenal, brilliant, conscious, Indigenous Man! I have seen him on numerous occasions, when he used to give speaking forums in Detroit! We, as a People; need more Indigenous Men with his' courage, and audacity!
I first traveled to the US as a student from Africa in 2012. I was super confused about the ethnicity questions when I first had to fill out school forms and DMV forms for my license. Called my dad to ask what I should check on my forms. Another thing was the fact that I had to call my father to ask him what a minority group was. These questions still hunt me on forms.
Dear Dr Small, I have been following your perspective for some time now and I wanted you to know that your short statement here is the most important and powerful that you have made in your career to date. You are becoming better than ever. I in my small way have been trying to explain to black people that asked that (1) we are humans trying to survive amongst savages, and that (2) the programing into eating poison is one of the biggest tools being used against them. Thank you so much for your GREAT work, hopefully people will hear and understand and act.Blessings for ever.
The sad thing is Most African 🇬🇭🇨🇬🇮🇪 people here in the USA think they are Ok ? And don't see the Deprivation! WOW 😳
Not all of them think feel that way though…
@@tidavevital4744 Most of us don't. When I was in USA, we saw it instantly. We know colonial oppressors and being in USA was a heightened call. We just pay attention to our purpose, buy lands and build at home so that the kids can have a hideout, and for biz. We hope that African Union can start giving out residency promised to the Diaspora, which is the 6th region, so that many can get land & own property if they choose.
😂😂 what do you expect? the living conditions in Africa make whatever negative experiences they have in the US seem like child's play. Imagine earning less than a thousand dollars annually!
@@famousjoel2941 You miss the mark. It's not how much you earn but how affordable things are. Bear in mind 90% of African families actually own their homes and pay zero mortgage. University education in Cameroon was free until 20 yrs ago and now it's ~$80 dollars a year across all disciplines. USA is a more advanced country but has its set backs. Africans, Indians & Filipinos can not assert themselves in a different country. They went to USA to get the $$ which is the exchange currency, build homes here and create wealth. Accessibility to land & wealth is partly what keeps Black Americans in difficulty.
Whites are being destroyed. They are much more oppressed. Sorry if you look into it. Society is bending itself in a pretzel tk ensure you succeed while the others go extinct. Your not victims. Your a protected class. ENOUGH
Very interesting perspective
Peace to Baba Professor Smalls!
One of the reasons why depression is much more common among African Americans than among Africans is because African -Americans live under a hypercapitalist paradigm which breeds and thrives upon discontent and comparison/competition. This leads to constant dissatisfaction and ingratitude. Depression is quite common among White Americans as well. Poor diets and other stressors such as racism exaccerbate the incidence of depression among Blacks in America.
IF YOU ARE 90 + % IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY WITH ALL OF THE WEALTH BENEATH YOUR FEET & YOU DON'T CONTROL ANY OF IT OR WHO COMES & GOES IN YOUR COUNTRY, YET YOU RUN , FLEE TO AMERIKKKA, U.K, CANADA, UKRAINE, YOU'RE NOT DEPRESS YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND
Depression is everywhere you find white. I lived in Turkey those people commit kill themselves everyday. I had to run room such environment and went back to Africa
Absolutely, and we've adopted other people's ways of "getting ahead." Once we went down that road centuries ago, it's been all downhill for our communities.
@@OnlyBeeMeethere was no reason for you to take offense to what he said. You are displaying the mental health issues that are being spoken about on the video. I’d advise you to go seek therapy.
@@lloydhudson6463yes did adopt of getting ahead in our adopted country but so many times we that been burned out, the accumilation of wealth has been severely been retarded thereof!!!
Truth at its finest. 👍
Dang... I never knew that😊
This is definitely true for zulu people. We do not have depression.
As an immigrant in the USA for over 20 years, this information came to me naturally less than a year ago. It was an epiphany!! Ever since I’ve been working towards change and it would have to be going back to my kind.
Everything he is saying is on point. Fba understand his words.
Damn that was well said.
Talk HEAVY💪🏿👁 Professor Small I just had this conversation
Eat only the medicine foods of God brothers and sisters. If God didn’t make it, then don’t eat it. Thank you I Never Knew TV and Professor Small. Big ups!
@@OnlyBeeMeeHopefully they have a community garden in your area. I grew tens of 1000s of lb of high grade spray free organic food and learned at the same time. Many people teach you techniques there too.
@@OnlyBeeMee Will do!!!
African is heaven. I was born and brought up in Africa Nigeria. Growing up we laugh and make comedy about white people committing suicidal for not having breakfast or because of little things. We don’t know what is depression until I went to Europe. I understand there something called depression and many sicknesses started coming up, until I went back to Africa. My body reconnected
It's heaven yet you or your parents left it for the west ? 😂 (I am african btw)
As a Nigerian this have got to be the most insane shit I have ever heard,which Nigeria are you talking about
@@tobiisiba1641 boy boy boy I’m sure you where them new genZ who do not know what Nigeria used to be like before now
Stay the fuug in Africa then, don't even consider coming to European. 😐😑😐👍💯🥱
Great great question I notice this about Jamaica also when I went to Kingston
💯% brotha 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So beautifully said 💜
I can only say to my brother and sister in Diaspora I look forward to the day when you will be coming home I know is not an easy decision to make with all that is going on around the world and there's more than that BUT One day we will unite together. Awareness is key!
Watch your relationship with your brother and sister in the Diaspora be less judgemental of one another, feel for one another, and understand the struggles of one another physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially.
This channel's content is absolutely amazing....!!!!

He's very very correct, 100%! That's one of the reasons those Africans that go to Western countries "discourage" other Africans from going and it becomes an issue as those who've never left feel deprived and betrayed.
Even economically I've come to realize many Africans in Africa do not become financially secured as we largely do not know how to "build wealth" as against to just same old "making money". Since I knew the difference and begin to see the opportunities in Nigeria I am seeing a complete turn-around at a considerably young age I am at, even for someone who's never known my parents. There is peace of the spirit in Africa but also very ripe and ever new with opportunities only the incredibly wise (not educated) can see.
You are spot on. Those who haven't been to the west would always frown at you for telling them the truths about the Western systems. They over look opportunities at home bc of the glamourisation of the West. People even sell assets and businesses to move to the West and many end up miserable. Look at the population of Nigeria, you can literally sell anything and be successful with diligence.
@@Chuwalker Exactly 100% truth. If someone in Nigeria, with a population of well over 200 million, claims they're "poor and there's no opportunities", then it is not financial poverty but largely ignorance and shortsightedness.
@@TheLocalStandard I"m glad you as a young person is able to see this clearly. I am in the West and I cringe when I see my friends who were doing very well back home sell all they've acquired and built to come here to start running around in the cold in the name of work. And guess what, so many people I know back in Nigeria are doing well in business and don't even have an international passport. These are multi millionaires in spare parts business, food stuff, fashion, agriculture , restaurants, real estate etc. But its sad that the average Nigerian youth sees going abroad as the only way to succeed.
@@Chuwalker When I stopped and overcame the desire to move abroad that was when I completed the final puzzle to my growth and success. Now I do not want to even ever step foot in any Western or Middle Eastern country, any country with a history of oppression on Black/African people.
Wisdom is profitable to direct.
@@TheLocalStandard bro, you share my exact sentiments. Though I have travelled to the West for school but I see how second or third class treatment our black folks get and I asked myself if this is the environment I would want my children to face at a very tender age. Where they will feel like a second class human from childhood? I aborted the plan of bringing them. The discrimination is real and often masked with fake smiles. Good work bro. I wish so many of us would begin to wake up.
Africa poor and they happy! Europe and America got all the wealth and miserable
Sorry, but Africa is not poor Europe and America still steeling from them, and no Africa is not happy about it.
They will die to come here and you would not go to Africa. Stop being fake deep
@annaruocco8097 The continent of Africa is far from poor, but its people are poor in comparison. We may have a lot of wealth in this country, but we're not that much happier than most people in Africa or Asia.
@@lloydhudson6463 Can you get 20 hectares of land in your country? I come from a nation that is very land-rich and i can get from 20+ hectares...some countries in Africa do that..some people build houses with no mortgage..
@MwariWeSimba You can get as much land here as you want if you have the funds. America has wealthy landowners with millions of acres of land. On the other hand, there's plenty of people here with little or no land at all. As far as mortgages, we certainly have them here. The good thing is, it allows the average person to buy a home. The bad news is, if you miss too many payments on that mortgage, the bank is going to foreclose on that property. As with anything, there's pros and cons, and there's no perfect system, that's for sure.
When I was in USA, we saw it instantly. We know colonial oppressors and being in USA was a heightened call. We just pay attention to our purpose, buy lands and build at home so that the kids can have a hideout, and for biz. Hopefully, African Union can start giving out residency promised to the Diaspora, which is the 6th region, so that many can get land & own property if they choose.

Someone told me that depression is a rich people thing. Poor people don't have time for depression, self pity, sympathy etc.
So right it come from an lot of things its not easy out here but the older i get the more focuse im and more calm
Capitalism is a heck of a drug!
Democracy is the sun sign, and capitalism is the moon sign!
the choices are you have a lot of money in a good area then you eat good and live well. your poor, well you eat poor and live poor, you have to work hard to move up the ladder and realize that it is up to you to move forward. you might make it all the way, if not then plant the seeds for your children to move beyond what you did, That is what life, is about the family moving forward, not backward.
Thomas Jefferson was nervous and trembling about something you all. His conscious was weighing heavy upon him.Just search these 3 words "Indeed I tremble".
Yes watching the News Keeps Me in a Ready to Fight Any YT Person to having to Mentally deal with you Know that's not Right even though u See Some of Them doing Wrong & usually getting away with it + Now having to worry about Blacks called Ninjas you hv to worry about!!
I hope that I can live long enough to leave America and not need to ever return. That's my dream.
It's like everywhere else if you have money then Africa is a great place, if you don't have money you will be living in a cardboard shack. its the law of the world money equals easy life anywhere you go.
Finally who thinks the way I think
Good saying. And thats normal..its happening to kind of mean..from Africa living in America. Stressful..but im far from mentally problems, because of strongly African culture & a right religion..thats not Christianity in my case.
Why was Jefferson trembling?
Who really categorized blacks as colored or negro ( a word I hated as a child)? I remember when Black and Afro American was popularized in the 60s by black Americans. Despite claims that Negro was a white-coined word intended to marginalize black people, W. E. Du Bois argued that the term was "etymologically and phonetically" preferable to colored or "various hyphenated circumlocutions." I like Foundational Black American but I also described myself as native American because I am from no place else and my ancestors go back 7 centuries on this land if not more. Thank you for this informative topic, it makes sense! New Yorker
Native american 😂😂😂
So true
When the Pan Africanist, Robert Sobukwe told about the beauty of Africa he envisaged. The so called " black" people termed journalists, labelled it utopia in a funny way. Now it's proven decades after, that the man was a genius .
REPARATIONS AND SEPARATION!!!
The commonality is dealing with colonizers
.... Dread Scott....
This is true, but missing a key point... Africans are too passive when it comes to the colonizers. America is definitely a sick nation, and we are all suffering through chaos or living a lie to ignore the chaos, it's a disaster.

Thank you a million times. Prof. Small nailed it. I like the way he respects Africa. Also, Africa's countries still have communities and Ubuntu.. there is no government welfare.
In America, people worship the celebrities and corporate villains. Americans are mostly searching for money and trying to prove hey are rich..There is also so much
individualism.
We have a full occupation of our Creoleclands in America.
Plus, we have multiple media personalities calling us black every day.
That will make aby one depressed because black is gloomy.
I think the ultimate solution is SEPARATION.
Maybe in the villages but its the same shit in towns and cities. They are just good at masking it.
✍🏾Yes, when I was living in Africa, I noticed that the local people’s nervous system was a lot more relaxed then Americans 🇺🇸 . Take note that there are 55 countries in Africa. So there’s all kinds of experiences. But Prof. Smalls is on to something. Americans suffer from spiritual poverty that’s why their are depressed 🤷🏽♀️ Leah Tunkara
🙏🏽💝💐
Is there anyone to request Jesse Lee Peterson invite this prof into his show?I can't wait seeing JLP schooled about his own race😅
Then why are they coming to the US & Europe?
Exactly because Africans suffers Tremendously amount of SUPPRESSION and DEPRESSION.
Those who come are few compared to those who live on the continent. They go to these countries hoping to get rich. But having been born in Africa and raised here, I would never leave my country to settle permanently in the West. Everything seems so cold there.
Guess what? They eventually come back home..
Does this guy know what he is talking about, Here in America you have to determine if you want to get ahead, your have a goal and work hard towards it. Most people say they are whatever culture the come from first, like Irish American, Italian American, mexican American, we don't feel stressed about it that's silly, as far as Africa is concerned would you want to go back, I don't think you would want to, why do you think everyone is trying to come here.
Nkosi 777 you still on slumber
Probably better good. Yeah but they are being recognized and doing nothing about it
Using to conquer names African and American. No find our real names.
The average AA lives a better life than the average afrixan
His answer makes zero sense because every race is just as depressed it has nothing to do with being African wtf?
He made perfect sense if you have knowledge-of-self. If you dont understand, just say that you dont understand. That is the 1st step to understanding.
@@JanWynd I understood that that statement makes zero sense
@@tonyamartin1425 So you admit that you dont have knowledge-of-self. Thanx. 1st step toward learning is admitting that you dont understand. Now, your journey toward understanding can begin. Good luck...
Dear “african americans”…You’re not African. You’re american.
Be deceiving yourself
@@markehijele Africans hate “african americans”.
We are not african americans. We are the lost Israelites.
Who originally were African.
Question. Why are you still here in this country then sir. Your speaking of everyone in this country when your talking food.
Ummm… Maybe because he’s FROM this country??? I assumed everything on this channel was for educational purposes; I can’t understand how this could offend anyone… It’s not like he’s lying, clearly…

This is our planet .the original people, we are the roots others are the branches , you dig it
He’s talking pure nonsense. His unprofessional opinion

we indians can go anywhere in the world and survive , make good money. We made so much money in africa they had to kick us out because we had no competition. we are the true kings of this earth and soon entire planet will be indian
