It dont matter where you are from in America. It is total ignorance if in 2024 you think that anywhere you go in Africa there are animals just roaming around. Its time to pick up a book or watch tv or get some friends with some diversity. No excuse🤦🏾♀️
@sylviadavis2208 I swear, it killed me when someone asks such question. Just cultivate yourself 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Cameroon is not a Zoo you have to go to a specific place to see those animals😅😅😅😅😅
Mahmoud is playing the unamused, dissapointed game on purpose...to bring her down. He's the kinda guy that makes sure he makes you cry on your birthday
He is testing the waters to find a new wife and secure his US Visa. I think that is why he is eyeing other women on the street he want his life insurance.
So true! Before meeting my in-laws (for the first time) not only did I do research, but I met up with other women from his ethnic group. Even though they prepared me well, I still felt nervous.
😂Emily's family is highly educated....the host is lacking clearly. Colby is not bright and his friends are foolish as they are tight and they have 3 kids and Emily keeps a close grip on Colby....which btw...no one wants Colby..😂NO one
It's all for show. If they really wanted the parents to meet and have a traditional wedding, they could have done long back. All these hogwash is to get more TLC money.
I travelled 24+ hours once - from Australia to Italy - to see someone. And believe me there was vibrancy!! That tiredness dissipates quickly when you’re into someone, at least in my experience.
Melicia, THANK YOU❤️ I am South African and the tears I have in my eyes after this amazing video. You truly are so special and I love how You educate others🙏🏽❤️ Thank You for making my week!!
Nothing was said with malice, he just said wakanda which is cringe but kobe took it all in stride. They were obviously wide eyed tourists, her mother was cautious and polite by asking is this offensive to wear we don't wish to offend your family. If kobe and the African person who dressed them aren't irritated then it's not a big deal. Idk
@JadeSaldana ma'am, just because it wasn't said with malice, doesn't change the fact it was an ignorant comment. I absolutely agree that the mom was the only one who was acting as if she had a little sense. The wife has been with him years and didn't do research on his culture or or is homeland!? She is comparing it to the Lion King, something I'd expect her kids to do, and he keeps saying Black Panther quotes. lol, let's be real. Also, I guess I read Kobe body language differently bc he definitely did irritated laughter.
You are so right about South Africa. The different regions blew my socks off. Cape Town/ Western cape amazing landscapes and luxe living. Durban, beautiful beaches. Kruger, so beautiful. Great for safaris.
Nicole and Mahmoud are just dead behind the eyes. I'm surprised they made it because i for sure thought they broke up. They just don't seem happy at all. Not even a little bit
It’s a toxic relationship. I cringe when they come on. I feel like Nicole is trying to change Mahmoud. Nicole moved to his country and experienced first hand his culture. Why try to change him.
Thought they met in China...I really like Kobe worried that spoiled nasty woman remains quiet. Emily seems to have grown during marriage while watching single life.
I agree about learning the culture etc. I was a missionary for 2 yrs in Joburg ZA and I was shocked by other americans when I returned home. one lady had the audacity to asked me if I slept in a tree while living in Johannesburg, what an uneducated person!! all that to say this, I loved living in South Africa!! beautiful landscapes and people!!
I am proudly South African, born and bred and have lived in Jo’burg for 42 years. Decades ago, in the UK not the USA I was asked what it was like to move around with lion and elephant in the streets! It was a serious question, asked slowly because I might not understand English. It’s my mother tongue and at the time I had an MA in English literature. I answered equally seriously: said living in Africa was often quite dangerous and surprising.
Emily and her family kinda have me annoyed like you all don’t even take the time to learn about you husband or son in laws culture before you went there let alone before they got married ? Just sound super ignorant and uneducated
Yesss how are you married all these years, and you haven't taken the time to educate yourself on his culture or his homeland. She clearly doesn't plan on teaching her kids about who they are. I'm not surprised!
I remember that at the beginning and Emily didn't want or forbid Kobe from seeing him or hanging out with him bcuz he was telling him the truth abt her
@anthonyporter1556 What?? Damn! It's time for Kobe to step up, speak up & demand the respect that he's owed. The heck w/ thus now! Is he color struck???
I saw the thumbnail and thought, “Huh, that attire looks very familiar. It’s probably from a country close to Cameroon.” Then I read the title 😂😂😂 My country has made it on the show! 🇨🇲 I don’t know whether to be proud or disappointed!
Emily seems to have a very decent and loving family. Her parents travelling to Cameroon and the attitude with which they have done so says a lot about them.
Nicole needs to chill with Mahmoud. Don't force him if PDA isn't his thing. She didn't like when he forced her to do things, so relax. I get that you are excited, but a little at a time. Cause I don't see things going well. Melicia, I'm right there with you girl! She said the Lion King.
why did she not..research where she was going? Learn respect ..google or asking her husband would of been amazing like, I would of sat down and asked him like how do I say hi in your family, what is okay to do or not do, can I do anything to make them understand I respect you and your culture.
I really hope they educate their children on Kobe's culture and black American history/culture as well. Growing up in an area where they're the minority could be really challenging for them... especially with ignorance like this being aired publicly 😬
He is way too good for her, imo. Or at least the way she comes across. I think at some point he will become disillusioned with her self centeredness...or not.
Please don’t say the west , say some people in the west . Some white people in the west mostly . Millions don’t think that just as I know animals are not roaming Africa like it’s the beginning of time .
My hair braided is from Africa and she said it is beautiful. Nothing like we Americans see on television. She also spoke six different languages with French being one of them. I would love to go one day.
As I’m sitting here watching this video today is Easter the 2 nd Easter without my beautiful grand baby who passed away at 6 years old due to heart transplant complications and her favorite movie at the time before passing was The Lion King which was playing the whole time at her service. Just made me feel like she is with me today. She always has a way of doing that in all that I do.
Honestly, I don’t totally blame Emily. It’s also Colby’s fault. I hope that he’s instilling his culture into their children. Unpopular opinion, but most of the time when it comes to white women and black men it’s about the 🍆, which she stated in the beginning when they met. It’s his responsibility to demand respect and not fold when it becomes too uncomfortable for Emily and her family. Hopefully they have more of an understanding on how Colby fault / feels when he’s in the US.
I said the same thing from the beginning that he was a simp. The only time he put that dumbass woman in her place was when he told her to stfu. Even his fellow countryman that lives in Amer told him not to let Emily walk all over him bcuz Amer woman are like that compared to African women.
No one ever holds the men accountable. It’s his fault for not only dating but mating with an ignorant semi racist woman. A lot of black man do this and at the and the African community has to live with identity crisis having mixed children.
I agree on the D! But it’s not his responsibility to teach a grown woman who states she travels or have babies by a man not to do her research before going to a country. The issue I have is he is 1000 % African and she knew this. But her entitlement had her thinking once he’s here I will tame him and make him like me. I want African men to stop thinking white is right . That’s my issue with all African men . Some one please hold a sign so all Africans know American woman are the #1 educated in this COUNTRY.
The world is such a beautiful place, it is a shame that American and British media only show the bad parts of other countries. In every country there is the beauty and the not so beautiful parts
Wow….not WAKANDA! The second hand embarrassment 😩Out of respect she should’ve studied up on the culture. Does she think loins just roam the streets there?
I’m from Senegal and the guys screaming at the beginning, we’re just about the money lol. They help you with luggages and expect money. They hear them speak English, see the cameras and wee surely debating about a good price :,) y’all Americans need to travel more hehe
Omgosh, first and foremost, Melicia looks fantastic!!!….rested? vacation maybe? She’s gorgeous. And kudos for focusing the video on those cast members we love!
The part when Emily and her mom were skeptical of the people helping them with their bags, questioning if they got everything in terms where they hoped they got everything but couldn't be sure. Emily's Mom also said the men surrounding Kobe was a circus. And they contantly asked Kobe if they were going to be safe. Not only did they show their ignorance to the his country in general they made many racist comments. I am looking forward to see how the visit goes with Kobes family. Everything can't be summed up to ignorance. They accepted Kobe because of their daughter but to me are true people that discriminate against black people.
To be fair tho it can be scary for ppl like that whom have never experienced that before. I married an igbo man near 8yrs ago n we are still very much happily married Nd I've learned alot bout his country and culture etc in all these years and I also read their news. When I go there in a few months it's gonna be a little scary cos alot of bad stuff does happen there tho it does everywhere but in a different way. I know my hubby will keep me safe and I know there's millions of good ppl there but alot of stuff does happen there that doesn't happen in my country. So yes I can understand it's a little scary for them. So give them a break. But I also understand that they've been together a long time now so she also shouldve learned bout the country and its cultures.
To be fair they've never experienced that kinda thing. Tho she shouldve learned more bout his country n cultures. I married an igbo man near 8yrs ago and I'm going bk to his country nigeria with him to visit this year and its a little scary cos tho I've learned some igbo and yoruba language and the pidgin and alot bout his country I also read their news and alot of bad stuff does happen there. I know bad stuff happens everywhere but it's a diff kinda bad stuff. Nigeria has ritualists and skull miners and all diff types of scary things so that's a little diff to a robber or a drunk driver or whatever bad things you'd see in my country. U get what I mean? I know my hubby will keep me safe otherwise I wouldn't go and I know there's many good ppl there too. And all that kinda thing has nothing to do with them being black or white either. The country is diff to their country u must know that.
I can definitely understand they were in a place they were unfamiliar with. But come on anybody with common sense knows how to act. What they said was very insensitive not only to Kobe's culture but also to Black People period. He had to come to an unfamiliar place and culture as well when coming to America. What if he wasn't open minded and he was complaining about everything including being the only minority in a place without very many minorities. If the shoe was on the other foot these people would be offended. There are ways you can be polite even when experiencing something different including a country or culture. Safety was not the only thing they complained about. And I will absolutely NOT give them a break. Open your mind and get to know people from diverse backgrounds in order to educate yourself. And when you are in a different place by choice Do NOT Complain. 🎤
I just got so choked up watching Coby's family giving Emily's family hugs. How sweet was that? I wish i could be a tiny bug so i could tell Emily to STOP SPEAKING WORDS OF NEGATIVITY AND DOUBT! Words are VERY POWERFUL! What is spoken now has life. Our universe hears what our hearts and mouths are saying. Emily voicing ALL IS HER DOUBT about "Coby's dad not accepting" her and "what would i do if...". We breathe life into our spoken words. She has this weapon of mass destruction... her mouth. We ALL DO and we use it daily.
I'd love to see a traditional wedding! When I worked in Rwanda those few weeks, our participants were from all over Africa, so we got a taste of cultures from many countries, especially music and dance was easiest to share. At meal times, we talked a lot about different foods. I hope these get better and less embarrassing. Thanks for your coverage.
Coby and Emily are my favorite couple. Of course Emily is going to talk about the country TLC wants controversy and Content so it is what it is a Reality Show.
Ahh man the ignorance in this video is mind blogging. The things they say lol the dad acting like he is on the set of Black Panther every clip is killing me. Emily relating it to the Lion King. At least we know they grew up watching Disney lol. I wish Kobe wouldn't laugh and just correct them or educate them nicely. The good thing about ignorance is you can still learn and be better.
It’s her children culture as well. It’s ignorant for her to not try and learn about the man she chose to marry. I see why my uncle said situations like these sometimes are pure fantasies!
I rarely comment on TH-cam but I have to say this to Emily. Your husband obviously loves you very much. He moved to the United States for you and he definitely understands that he is in the United States and accepts that the culture is different than where he comes from!!! He has your back and had your back when he was talking to his friends. Trust him and trust the process.. Please don’t give him a hard time because he loves you. Let him enjoy his time with his family and friends and don’t read too much into things. You guys are good!!!!❤
Hes trying to joke. Why is that so offensive? If u came to Australia and said crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin or something how tf would that be offensive either😂 cringy maybe but offensive or nasty? No
Her and Kobe should've sat down and had a conversation about what her expectations are about Africa, specifically Cameroon, vs what the reality will be. He should've prepared her a little bit better. But I think most countries in Africa (I said most not all) aren't as race-conscious and culture-conscious because we've grown up with people who look like us and live like us (or similar to us). He probably wasn't prepared for the way they perceived anything because he's never had to see them out of their element like that. He's always assimilated and adopted their American culture. Hopefully other Americans see this and are compelled to do some research from non-biased sources about what Africa is really like.
I'm sorry but Mahmoud isn't going to assimilate at all. His energy is low because he's homesick. Nicole isn't the right person for him and he isn't right for her. As for Emily and her family, I suspect the more they try not to be offensive, they're going to be offensive. It best to smile answer only when asked and be cordial. I'm happy to see Kobe's children exposed to their family and the culture. I wish Kobe, Emily and both families grow to love each other. Its beautiful to see families blend together in spite of their differences.
Came back from East Africa, Went in January! I have been there four times, visited South Africa as well! Africa is such a beautiful country definently worth to visit. Their is a lot more to Africa than what is shown in the media
That’s not entirely true remember when he arrived in US she didn’t let him see his son first she took him to a hotel for herself so she the ones to blame here not him.
I’m insulted by Emily and her parents ignorant comments
Right, like...the only thing you know about africa is a made-up fictional place? Are they actually slow?🥲
@@imbored6037what do they teach people in American schools nowadays?
if she was in a different country and didn't know about that one, would she be ignorant or is it just Africa?
@@wrtpbdit would be absolutely the same bc that’s your duty when dealing with someone from a completely different culture
It's straight up racist... as much as she says she loves black men.. she just loves the look and wants black kids
Emily is acting as if she’s from NYC. She lives in rural America, and the comparison to Lion king was childish .
😂😂😂
It dont matter where you are from in America. It is total ignorance if in 2024 you think that anywhere you go in Africa there are animals just roaming around. Its time to pick up a book or watch tv or get some friends with some diversity. No excuse🤦🏾♀️

She’s still white with a racist family.
She obviously does not know geographics
Mahmoud is playing the unamused, dissapointed game on purpose...to bring her down. He's the kinda guy that makes sure he makes you cry on your birthday
He is testing the waters to find a new wife and secure his US Visa. I think that is why he is eyeing other women on the street he want his life insurance.
Taking off with her credit card and phone says a lot about him.
Dang that birthday comment really explains a type of person so well 😂
Sawbona Malicia❤
A lot of narcissist do that
The ignorance is blinding. Emily and her family are something else.
Yeah, yet she claims to love traveling.
I agree, from USA, Emily & family need to go back to school!
They show how other people in other countries see Americans, dumb!!!!😂😂
So true! Before meeting my in-laws (for the first time) not only did I do research, but I met up with other women from his ethnic group. Even though they prepared me well, I still felt nervous.
He should have picked better
The way Emily's dad keeps blurting "Wakanda" in Cameroon is cringe. 🥴
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
😂😂😂😂
I know right 😂😂
😂😂😂🙈
Wakanda🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Khobe is such an upbeat ,happy, optimistic wonderful man
He's a effing simp and all the African homies know it and can see it.
IKR? I love him!
😂
He just makes me smile. 🌝
True...too bad he married Emily.
I thought Emily's family was a lot more educated culturally . It's a bit embarrassing .
😂Emily's family is highly educated....the host is lacking clearly. Colby is not bright and his friends are foolish as they are tight and they have 3 kids and Emily keeps a close grip on Colby....which btw...no one wants Colby..😂NO one
Kobe is such a kind person. I love how he wants to blend his cultures ❤
Coby needs to stop laughing at her and correct her. It’s not funny it’s actually very disrespectful.
He knows she's hopeless. He's desperate to see his family & country though. Poor Kobe.
kobe is very respectful and joyful
She's Hopeless
She's a lost cause 😅her nor her family was smart enough 2 research anything 😅at all
He has to so that Emily learns. If she misbehave we won't like her ofcourse
I dont know what Nicole see in Mahmoud. He’s not physically attractive, has bad temper, and their culture clash is so bad. 😂😂😂
Exactly.
And he’s broke
@@LuckyMe-d3t oh that’s right! Lol! 😆 some would settle with “at least he’s kind, or stable/rich, or good looking”. But nooooo! 😅
He’s terrible
She'd done better, picking up a homeless man. Who lost his job, but has potential.😊
Kobe couldn't educate his wife and family about his culture. She needs to be better, know a bit and sit back and let the man shine.
Its shameful of Emily and her parents to have not even researched, asked Kobe about Cameroon! How embarrassing for Kobe.
Right. There's a new complicated tool named Google - if they could only learn to use it. So sad for them.
It's all for show. If they really wanted the parents to meet and have a traditional wedding, they could have done long back. All these hogwash is to get more TLC money.
that’s most americans! think the world revolves around them
Not really kobe is better than u he overlooks so he won't upset them really good guy

Emily doesnt learn shes the type that enjoys her ignorance, and doesnt get that it insults others.
She gets it. She enjoys it!
The ignorance. Oh Emily!
Kobe is human sunshine.
Let's hope Emily doesn't take his sunshine away! 😢
Imagine being on the actual continent of Africa in the country of Cameroon saying Wakanda a fictional place from the MCU 😭
I fucking rolled my eyes when he said that!!! They are all so ignorant. The good thing about ignorance is that you can change and learn
I don’t understand why I get shocked when folks like this same the ish that they say smh 🤦🏽♀️

Coby the respect you have to your family and culture is very admirable .
Bless your heart more and more!
If you keep your mouth shut Emily you will be fine Koby seems like a nice guy Emily father seems scared 😂
Knowing that will never happen. I don't like her parents attitude when they arrived there either.
@@vblackwell3347 now you see why there daughter so rude
@@Yolonder-jf1sn Definitely no secret there.
@@vblackwell3347 😂😂😂😂
He is scared, he has nvr been around so many black ppl at one time in his life
I aaaalways love your hair, but this is so nice!!! The red tone looks AMAZE with your complexion! ❤
Awww sawubona girl 😂💕 from South Africa 🇿🇦 I'm shocked you know sawubona and even said it nicely.
The world is such a beautiful place, it is a shame that American and British media only show the bad parts of other countries. In every country there is the beauty and the not so beautiful parts
True
Wow….not WAKANDA! The second hand embarrassment 😩Out of respect she should’ve studied up on the culture. Does she think loins just roam the streets there?
Very embarassing
This man said, “Wakanda”!!!
I’m done ✅ 😂 😳
These two are my favorite couple. They get along so well
Bev, which couple
MELICIA is always on point with her commentary & her opinion
Kobe is a dude that I’ll actually hang out with…. He seems humle af
I love your hair !!! Also your new channel! I commented there on synchronicities. Keep up the good work!
What is her channel
I’m from Senegal and the guys screaming at the beginning, we’re just about the money lol. They help you with luggages and expect money. They hear them speak English, see the cameras and wee surely debating about a good price :,) y’all Americans need to travel more hehe
Why? Would you pick this chick to be with and have kids with?
One night stand came with a baby
@@debrabaird633 true 💯
one night stand and got caught up.
Knocked up......
@@NatalieRabuzin Yes, he's a loser too. At least he's in the kids life.
5th element is everything!!
the fact that the kids are half cameroonian and she’s not taken the opportunity to learn about the culture is baffling
Thank you so much for speaking so highly of our country South Africa
Kobe friend seems super nice and excepting of the Americans.😊
Omgosh, first and foremost, Melicia looks fantastic!!!….rested? vacation maybe? She’s gorgeous. And kudos for focusing the video on those cast members we love!
The part when Emily and her mom were skeptical of the people helping them with their bags, questioning if they got everything in terms where they hoped they got everything but couldn't be sure. Emily's Mom also said the men surrounding Kobe was a circus. And they contantly asked Kobe if they were going to be safe. Not only did they show their ignorance to the his country in general they made many racist comments. I am looking forward to see how the visit goes with Kobes family. Everything can't be summed up to ignorance. They accepted Kobe because of their daughter but to me are true people that discriminate against black people.
To be fair tho it can be scary for ppl like that whom have never experienced that before. I married an igbo man near 8yrs ago n we are still very much happily married Nd I've learned alot bout his country and culture etc in all these years and I also read their news. When I go there in a few months it's gonna be a little scary cos alot of bad stuff does happen there tho it does everywhere but in a different way. I know my hubby will keep me safe and I know there's millions of good ppl there but alot of stuff does happen there that doesn't happen in my country. So yes I can understand it's a little scary for them. So give them a break. But I also understand that they've been together a long time now so she also shouldve learned bout the country and its cultures.
To be fair they've never experienced that kinda thing. Tho she shouldve learned more bout his country n cultures. I married an igbo man near 8yrs ago and I'm going bk to his country nigeria with him to visit this year and its a little scary cos tho I've learned some igbo and yoruba language and the pidgin and alot bout his country I also read their news and alot of bad stuff does happen there. I know bad stuff happens everywhere but it's a diff kinda bad stuff. Nigeria has ritualists and skull miners and all diff types of scary things so that's a little diff to a robber or a drunk driver or whatever bad things you'd see in my country. U get what I mean?
I know my hubby will keep me safe otherwise I wouldn't go and I know there's many good ppl there too. And all that kinda thing has nothing to do with them being black or white either. The country is diff to their country u must know that.
I can definitely understand they were in a place they were unfamiliar with. But come on anybody with common sense knows how to act. What they said was very insensitive not only to Kobe's culture but also to Black People period. He had to come to an unfamiliar place and culture as well when coming to America. What if he wasn't open minded and he was complaining about everything including being the only minority in a place without very many minorities. If the shoe was on the other foot these people would be offended. There are ways you can be polite even when experiencing something different including a country or culture. Safety was not the only thing they complained about. And I will absolutely NOT give them a break. Open your mind and get to know people from diverse backgrounds in order to educate yourself. And when you are in a different place by choice Do NOT Complain. 🎤
The mother's comment about "shacks" was crude.
Saubona❤❤i am South African living in Europe. I am a big supporter. Keep on the good work
Can’t believe this guy has stayed with her this long.
I just got so choked up watching Coby's family giving Emily's family hugs. How sweet was that?
I wish i could be a tiny bug so i could tell Emily to STOP SPEAKING WORDS OF NEGATIVITY AND DOUBT! Words are VERY POWERFUL! What is spoken now has life. Our universe hears what our hearts and mouths are saying. Emily voicing ALL IS HER DOUBT about "Coby's dad not accepting" her and "what would i do if...". We breathe life into our spoken words. She has this weapon of mass destruction... her mouth. We ALL DO and we use it daily.
I hope for her sake that Mahmoud is back in Cairo by now! There’s no way he could adapt to such a huge culture difference between the US and Egypt😢
I'd love to see a traditional wedding! When I worked in Rwanda those few weeks, our participants were from all over Africa, so we got a taste of cultures from many countries, especially music and dance was easiest to share. At meal times, we talked a lot about different foods. I hope these get better and less embarrassing. Thanks for your coverage.
Thank you Mellisia akways give good coverages. 😊
Kobe friend hit it on the nose well at least about emily she got nerve if you know what i mean
He's a racist against white women. How on earth is that acceptable?
when the friend told her . De hozban has the last say . ha ha ha ha i thought she deserved ir
Coby and Emily are my favorite couple. Of course Emily is going to talk about the country TLC wants controversy and Content so it is what it is a Reality Show.
The slayyyyy 🔥 hair and eyebrow combo go crazy beautiful as always girl!
From south africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
🇳🇦🇳🇦 Hi neighbor ❤️
Please forgive Emily & Co. 😢
@millidw8070 And forgive Kobe for marrying her. He is trying to do the ethical thing. 😢
Sawubona, Melicia!! 🤩💞
I’m genuinely glad that you had an amazing experience of South Africa 🇿🇦, God bless 🥰
Ahh man the ignorance in this video is mind blogging. The things they say lol the dad acting like he is on the set of Black Panther every clip is killing me. Emily relating it to the Lion King. At least we know they grew up watching Disney lol. I wish Kobe wouldn't laugh and just correct them or educate them nicely. The good thing about ignorance is you can still learn and be better.
Awww I’m glad you enjoyed Cape Town ❤much love
It’s her children culture as well. It’s ignorant for her to not try and learn about the man she chose to marry. I see why my uncle said situations like these sometimes are pure fantasies!
I rarely comment on TH-cam but I have to say this to Emily. Your husband obviously loves you very much. He moved to the United States for you and he definitely understands that he is in the United States and accepts that the culture is different than where he comes from!!! He has your back and had your back when he was talking to his friends. Trust him and trust the process.. Please don’t give him a hard time because he loves you. Let him enjoy his time with his family and friends and don’t read too much into things. You guys are good!!!!❤
So happy U had a pleasant experience in my beloved hometown, Cape Town, Melicia! 😊❤😊
Love you as a host!
Did that fool say "wakanda "??? 😮 0:52
yes he did🤐
Hes trying to joke. Why is that so offensive? If u came to Australia and said crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin or something how tf would that be offensive either😂 cringy maybe but offensive or nasty? No
“ like Nicole’s hair. Which I love by the way “ ( liesss ) but had me lmaooo😂
Her and Kobe should've sat down and had a conversation about what her expectations are about Africa, specifically Cameroon, vs what the reality will be. He should've prepared her a little bit better. But I think most countries in Africa (I said most not all) aren't as race-conscious and culture-conscious because we've grown up with people who look like us and live like us (or similar to us). He probably wasn't prepared for the way they perceived anything because he's never had to see them out of their element like that. He's always assimilated and adopted their American culture. Hopefully other Americans see this and are compelled to do some research from non-biased sources about what Africa is really like.
I'm SO glad that you enjoyed Cape Town in South Africa 🇿🇦. My home country ❤
Love from Cape Town❤
I like your comments about Africa - very positive. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
Melicia looks absolutely stunning in any hairstyle, in any outfit...hands down! She's a total snack!
Melicia !! So glad you came to Cape town..Its a life changing destination!!
I'm sorry but Mahmoud isn't going to assimilate at all. His energy is low because he's homesick. Nicole isn't the right person for him and he isn't right for her. As for Emily and her family, I suspect the more they try not to be offensive, they're going to be offensive. It best to smile answer only when asked and be cordial. I'm happy to see Kobe's children exposed to their family and the culture. I wish Kobe, Emily and both families grow to love each other. Its beautiful to see families blend together in spite of their differences.
Nicole should have married a Western convert to Islam who is used to Western life so would have been more accomodating of her situation.
Came back from East Africa, Went in January! I have been there four times, visited South Africa as well! Africa is such a beautiful country definently worth to visit. Their is a lot more to Africa than what is shown in the media
Africa is Continent not a country
Alee, its a continent , honey a whole ass continent
Kobe was too busy creating kids than teaching her about his culture 😂
That’s not entirely true remember when he arrived in US she didn’t let him see his son first she took him to a hotel for herself so she the ones to blame here not him.
@@bahreldinyagob421😂 that was one night. Tho she shouldve took him straight to meet his cild
