As an African I would say Caribbeans are the buffer in the diaspora between Africans and black Americans. They’re a mix because although they share a similar history of Americans, they held on to more of their African cultures. Carribeans usually get along with both groups because they are more versatile and recognizable with both groups having a blend of western and African culture.
Africns and Caribbeans have a marriage of misery because both places are third world. However in 🇬🇧 and 🇨🇦 there is ethnic gang warfare and tensions between the two groups.
True and sad at the same time. I applaud Caribbeans for retaining more of their African culture although they went through slavery in The Americas like our ancestors did. However, we have to also realize that America was more much more hostile and antagonistic towards traditional African cultures and actively suppressed them at every opportunity. That’s where much of the disconnect lies why we don’t have it anymore.
Honestly am based in Philadephia and am Kenyan. I love my African American and my own African brothers and sisters from Africa. Thank you for this dialogue.
I’m African(Cameroonian) and I was born in the states. In all my 37 years of living, my parents never advised me against interacting with Black Americans. I have a Black American godmother and a Black American husband. Also when I was growing up, I encountered several Black Americans that were cold towards us and felt superior to us. Especially, those that were colorists. This goes for some Carribeans too. I know this doesn’t represent the majority of Black Americans or Carribeans today, but interacting with those types can be mentally draining and uncomfortable. I avoid racist white people just like I avoid black people who are colorist and xenophobic.
Right there is the problem. No one wants to hang with anyone who thinks they are superior to you especially when that person has a high school education and you have one or multiple degrees. At some point, its like why bother. The same applies to whether that person is red, white or blue. No one has time for that or to feel like someone is ridiculing you simply based on nation of origin.
Wow! This just reminded me. I am a African American man. I attended Virginia Union University. An HBCU in Richmond Virginia. I did not know we had African students on campus until my 4th semester attending the school. When I saw a African student I went out of my way to ask a question I didn’t need the answer too just so I could talk to him. Our school was in the hood and honestly I noticed the Africans always stayed together. It seemed like everybody else ignored the Africans but I had a want to be close with them🤷🏾♂️ we’re all brothers and sisters no ?
I had African neighbors nicest people I’ve met, never had problems with them nor did I clown them I’ve always had respect for them. We need to come together and make the world a better place for the melanated people
I used to live in Minneapolis, there is a large African population there. I never had any issues what so ever.....I kicked it with everyone, and had a good time.
I think African's don't "hate" Black Americans because of roasting, they just see it as very unserious. So for the Africans that's about their business, they keep it moving and deal with people (black, white or otherwise) who are moving seriously.
Ohhh this just reminded me of a Nigerian brother I met at Virginia Union University. He Was in the Army reserves and had recently lost his grandfather back in Nigeria he told me his grandfather was over 100 years old. He explained to me how at his grandfathers going away service they celebrated his life. Brother wherever you may be. May God be with you and blessings follow you forever I miss you my brother🤞🏾
Problem number 1 - experiences with the larger demographics like Nigerians and Ethiopians are generalized across the whole continent. Problem number 2 - “Roasting” in certain African cultures is highly disrespectful beyond a certain age. Being cognizant of the fact that certain things don’t carry over across cultures is critical. I learnt that when I came over to the US. Scathing sarcasm is something I did a lot. I cut that out a couple of years into living here. Early in my time here (early 2000s) as an African man in college, I was interested in getting to experience African American culture. Many of the overtures to get involved were not reciprocated. I think the problem was not a one way street. Today things seem to be a bit better.
When people chose to move to another country you are from your particular culture coming into a specific culture that is not “white culture” when dealing with Black people. The same would be in the reverse if Black people chose to move to any country on the continent of Africa.
@@switzjon8405 Precisely. The ill-moraled behaviors seen in Amerikkka came from the oppressive maladaptive influences of yt people.

Everyone's experience is different. I personally got along with many Africans that went to Tuskegee University. And one of them (a Nigerian) married an African American woman (student). And many years after graduating i ended up marrying an Ethiopian woman, and I'm not the only black American (in my city) who is married to one. There's about a half a dozen of us who did so. At the end of the day if you respect the culture, language, and religion of the African person then you shouldn't have any problems. Especially if you're educated and making a descent living.
I Went To Hampton U 93-97... There was no issue with my classmates, but i did notice their parents carribean mostly would act funny when we came to meet them
Aren't Liberians are technically African Americans because of their descendants who were African American slaves who repatriated to Africa the 18th and 19th century?
****You guys are forgetting an important point. "American Individualism versus African communal culture" and "the American gun culture". One example: African American throws a party, you bring your own beer. Africans throw a party, everyone just come to eat and drink.
Not an HBCU campus.... That is not at all true. On my campus whoever threw the parties provided the drinks and there were always drink. There was never an African, Caribbean or BA party. It was just a party. I threw parties and provided the food and drinks.... I've helped friends who as a collective were a part of all three groups throwing a party together and helped them set up.... We talked about parties based on the dorms they were in or if it were a student center party or even if it was a organization party or classification (Upper Classman , Under Classmen).....Never based on nationality. Once we got to know each other that didn't really matter.
African American man here.. this same old stupid subject over and over and over again... AA only 47 million.. Africans approx 800 Million.. doesn't even make sense.. I don't even like all AA.. Some people get along and some don't.. its like anywhere else.. My wife is from Nigeria and Igbo, she gets along with some Igbos and some she doesn't, its the same ish everywhere.
I am sorry but as an HBCU alum this is not at all true from my experience. That is the one place that I have had the most positive interactions with African people. I had an inclusive experience because Clark Atlanta University had so many clubs that exposed us to different cultures and also the classes we took on campus together centered around both of our histories... You cant pick and choose your interaction with one another when you have group projects together, social clubs together, sharing dorms together, Campus Parties, Homecomings, etc.. You are forced to interact.....IDK, but this was not at aaaaallllll my experience. I feel like those are the ones who understand us the most are the ones who went to HBCUs ....or at least the people that went to mine. My closest friends from CAU are actually African...I strongly disagree on this one.
That's your experience, and your experience is valid, but that's not everyone's experience......and everyone's experience is valid. CAU is one of 100+ HBCUs. I can tell you that at The House, the Africans kept to themselves. We'd see them playing soccer in out there on the green every so often, but they didn't really socialize with the rest of us like that. To be fair they were Kenyan from what I remember.
@@thechocolatedelegate9830 The first sentence I acknowledged that that was MY experience. The title of this video is very broad as if it is a thing all across the board....It is not. Did you go to an HBCU?
Yep!! Say it again! It is about social class and if you and your family are upwardly mobile and educated. It has nothing to do with not being Nigerian or African.
That is why they have built nothing in their own country instead of lifting up their people they're treating them like slaves because they have more money. That is why they're treated like crap around the world and should not be complaining. You reap what you sow in life. You're no better than anyone else you just had more opportunity. Your country is as great as your poorest people. Start paying them a living wage stop selling them out to other races. The slave mindset has to stop and the ignorance
@@NIO623 and @leeayi243 It takes nothing to be nice to other people, especially when you are in their country attending a university that was not originally intended for you. It's self centered and arrogant to think that people are so far beneath you that you can't be friendly and polite. This complaint is decades old and that's sad, because for some of African Americans, the unpleasant memory of being looked down on by Africans still lingers.
I don't know how a "DUSTY-3RD-WORLD AFRICAN" can even have the audacity to try to LOOK DOWN ON ANYBODY???...LOL🤣 Especially when their coming from the "Raggedy-3rd-World-Continent Of Africa"...Are u serious please make it make SENSE?????? bc it actually took the White Man, & The Asian Man, primarily to have to go into #AFRICA In the 1st place. Just to try to help develop African & to help them just to be able to have the basics...Like Infrastructure, Roads, Bridges, Modern Buildings, & Even An Economy, Clean Water, & Toilets, TBH🤦. Bc Before that Africans were basically just veryyy "Primitive & Tribalistic People" that were actually still shitting in the streets lol. & ACTUALLY STILL ARE TBH...SMH SO FOR A "3RD-WORLD-AFRICAN" TO HAVE THE NERVE, & THE AUDACITY, TO EVEN TRY TO LOOK DOWN ON ANYBODY IS JUST #LAUGHABLE #AND #DELUSIONAL. & AFRICANS REALLY NEED TO STOP!!!!!!! WITH THEIR FAKE ELITISM...LOL. BC AFRICAN'S ARE REALLY JUST 3RD-WORLD #FLEEERS & just delusional, tribalistic, & problematic, ppl. That actually can't build anything on their own so instead they just try to fake it & pretend to somehow be elite people????????...LMAOOO🤣
NO SIR, fighting at clubs is not an age thing. It is a culture, mindset and environment thing that is why you may think it is normal. Africans go to the club or disco to enjoy. Precisely the reason most Africans who are not into thug culture WILL NOT go to hip hop clubs because it is known a fight can always break out when the brothers are around or worse still bullets may fly. No one wants to deal with that when they have real life committments. In Africa, fighting and being disrespectful is not tolerated and if you are the type that loves to start trouble you may just get handled by everyone else. And the police will not tolerate rowdiness. So saying it is an age thing is an excuse. I have visited many countries and never seen a fight in a place where people were out having fun.
So there are no criminal gangs in Africa? I've seen numerous stories about how the men traffic the women, sometimes to Europe. No drug users? No mafia? What about the internet scammers?. Aren't Nigerians known for trafficking heroine like the current president Tinubu?
@@arthursmith8771 We dont do that where I am from in Southern Africa. I think some Nigerians are known for doing that which coincidentally is where most African Americans originated from. I love Nigerians but i cannot help but notice that some of their behavior is very close to what African Americans exhibit. Love of gold, chains, money etc. They also throw money at birthday parties, weddings etc which is what the bros do at the strip clubs.
@@arthursmith8771 Yes, there are criminal gangs in Nigeria, but we do NOT have preteens, or early teenagers, of high school age, doing robberies. I didn't even know what a juvenile was until I came to America because in Nigeria, we spank the youth
Black people dont like each other anywhere! I was living in an Indian community and saw the difference! Needs a miracle for black people to have their unity 😢
The curses are still there passed down from ancestors. Only the exceptance of the sacrafice...blood shed at the cross will deliver africans from the curse of sa ta...nic.
They say we have "no culture," but join our college Greek orgs, bands, cheer squads, choirs etc....That's FBA culture you are appropriating...We formed all of them after slavery, yet no other country could duplicate the same ststem.

Well stay truthful and be gentle with her and Incase your serious then prove it because American dating is crazy and the uncles don't want her to be waisting time.
Africans attitude towards AAs is shaped by those stupid hollywood movies where AAs are depicted as loud, rowdy and come with closed superiority complex mindset. The AAs also have preconceived notion of what Africans are all about, never mind that there are huge differences between different ethnicities in Africa. We need to visit each others' communities more. With social media we can definitely do better than we before 2k.

The AA kids now in colleges don't want to attend any Afrobeat event on campus. My kids invite their AA friends for events and they don't want to go to those events.
My advise is no two people in a relationship will sadly ever contribute the same! There's always someone contributing more than the other whether it's love or material stuff. Those who've been entrusted with the vision in this case "African Home Coming/ Unification, are always going to offer more than those Africans who've always been at home in Africa 'cos they don't see or have never experienced the evil the Diaspora people 'are running from.' It'll take some generations with some groups but we shouldn't ran away from the challenge. ❤
If africans actually choose to be open & curious instead of judging all of us base off of some& they cound make friends meet our famlies & see just like them more of our familes then they think raise us as children to 1.to respect our elders 2.The importance of reponsiblilties 3.many of us have very hard working successful parents 4.despite being american we dont always eat white..we have our own cusine(soul food/creole food) 5.we can not talk to our parents crazy 6.shoes are dirty & do not belong on the couch or bed 😂 7.black people on average love to party 8.we love to laugh
I've noticed that East Africans are MUCH friendlier- the Somalis, Ethiopians, and South Sudanese. It confused me being that much of our ancestry is West African and I learned not to speak to West Africans as most of them are very cold. No offense to anyone but most Nigerians I've met have been arrogant and unpleasant.
@michellehubbard8865 preach sister, my exact experience. As you have said we share most of our ancestry with West Africans but East Africans have always been more friendly and welcoming lol they always assume I'm East African
@@Nigerian-born_American It must be an American thing then. I was taught not to boast and I don't feel the need to be condescending to prove my superiority. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being proud of your ethnicity but it's a different thing to have a superiority complex. Just my opinion.
@@michellehubbard8865 I respectfully disagree. I recall coming to this country, as a child, and Black Americans were proud not to be African, claiming their superiority, et cetera. Moreover, I never complained about it because I knew that we were different just like a crocodile differs from an alligator, even though they look alike. Likewise, if you want to speak about arrogance, Black Americans, show more arrogance such as “I am a proud BLACK woman”, “black girl magic”, “strong black woman”, “black is proud”, etc. Need I go any further? We Nigerians, even though we differ via tribal cultural practice, express our pride via cultural aspects.
@@bzb8554when you in Somebody else country you gotta be respectful, this is part of the reason West Africans specifically Nigerians arnt welcomed in most countries in Africa and even around the world because yal are disrespectful.
One issue I see is that when Black Americans go to African nations to visit and/or live there' the expectation for them to learn the language, history and people. However, most Africans do not same when coming to the United States to better understand and empathize with Black Americans. If that was done more then I believe we could build stronger and more mutually respectful relationships overall.
The reason may be because the one giving them citizenship is White Americans and majority is white in Usa. If Usa was a majority a black nation it would be different!
Love to AA but yall verison of Pan Africanism at time is Pan African Americanism to which u look down and look to boss around Caribean, Afro Latino and Big Couzo Africa lets be real Love for yall but yall wild bro....One tree many Branches ,Yall the crazy branch
There’s some AA that have broken the American brainwashing and are looking to make money and go to Africa and start business. You have to understand America is 75% white. Still til this day AA are BRAINWASHED. They’re mentally enslaved by media. All they know is america. A life of being at the bottom.
In my opinion, African parents are warning their kids about the negative stereotypes they have heard or seen - specifically the African American culture from the South. The blacks in the South borrowed or assimilated into a culture that is destructive - that is not to say that the entire culture in the South is destructive, it is just that the negative stereotypes are often associated with those from the South...buggy jeans, being loud and boisterous, thugging, drama etc. This once again goes back to the days of slavery, when blacks in the North and the South were treated differently... Other than that, African Americans have also often seen only negative stereotypes of Africans. So it is understandable if they act a certain way towards Africans. There is a bridge somewhere that needs to be connected...
only blacks people would group themselves as "we are all africans". It is completely meaningless! East, West, North and South regions of the continent are different. Do you ever hear an asian person say "we are all asians" which would include indians, chinese, south east asian peoples not to mention the peoples of central asia. BTW, the biggest gap between AA and Africans is AA are generally not that educated which is something Africans take very seriously.
Impossible with 400 years of it. Every person has their Countries mindset. When you leave is when you grow. Some never will. That’s human beings though
There is no nationality called African . African is a race of black people . 1920 US-CENSUS African, European, Asian and Native American . HBCU's admit mostly Black Nigerian Americans, Afro-Jamaicans and African Americans not Black Djiboutians or Black Ethiopians or Black South Africans or Afro-Mexicans .
African is a race of black people not a nationality . black/African/Negroid . white/European/Caucasoid . yellow/Asian/mongoloid or a mixture like Obama(Black and White) . At least 120 million Africans in brazil(afro-Brazilians), Africans in Mexico(afro-Mexicans), Africans in America(afro-Americans) , Africans in Jamaica(afro-Jamaicans) . Roughly 46 million Black in America . And 4.1 million Black from outside America living in US . And 2.1 million Black in America from Caribbean, Central, South America, EU, Canada etc . And 2 million Black from Africa in America . Africa continent 1.46 Billion population with 1.3 billion black population .
black/African American(used interchangeably with race or ethnicity because of history) . Michelle Obama is black/African race , black american ethnicity , American nationality . Lupita Nyongo is black/African race and Kenyan/Mexican Nationality . George Bush is white/European race , Irish ethnicity and US American nationality . Elon Musk white/European race , Dutch ethnicity , South-African/ US nationality .
Agree Nationality is tied to the boundaries of a specific country, *not* a continent. There’s no nationality called African, just like there’s no nationality called European. However, African isn’t a race. Elon Musk is African. Ethnicity and heritage are more useful ways to describe people who see beyond race.
Overseas, it's a whole different ballgame. We sought after black women, equals in Arabia because of our community's high GDP, and we pay for nothing when interviewing perspective husbands. There are no expectations of us putting out, and 50/50 equals have a man. Only desperate chicks, hookers and good time girls are having sex without commitment or marriage. $800-$1000 will get you a one-way ticket out of America, $5,000 will get you setup--deposit, 1st two months plus utilites and food if you are re renting $1,000 or under US currency worth 50 to 10, 000 times more than some places. 118 visa free countries where you get 90 days before renewal or more.

I feel like those are the ones who understand us the most are the ones who went to HBCUs ....or at least the people that went to mine. My closest friends from CAU are actually African...I strongly disagree on this one.
Do you have any interactions with them outside of the campus? Clarkston, Ponce de Leon area?
That's your experience, and your experience is valid, but that's not everyone's experience......and everyone's experience is valid. CAU is one of 100+ HBCUs. I can tell you that at The House, the Africans kept to themselves. We'd see them playing soccer in out there on the green every so often, but they didn't really socialize with the rest of us like that. To be fair they were Kenyan from what I remember.
@@thechocolatedelegate9830 The first sentence I acknowledged that that was MY experience. The title of this video is very broad as if it is a thing all across the board....It is not. Did you go to an HBCU?
Peace and love.
Yep!! Say it again! It is about social class and if you and your family are upwardly mobile and educated. It has nothing to do with not being Nigerian or African.
That is why they have built nothing in their own country instead of lifting up their people they're treating them like slaves because they have more money. That is why they're treated like crap around the world and should not be complaining. You reap what you sow in life. You're no better than anyone else you just had more opportunity. Your country is as great as your poorest people. Start paying them a living wage stop selling them out to other races. The slave mindset has to stop and the ignorance
@@NIO623 and @leeayi243
It takes nothing to be nice to other people, especially when you are in their country attending a university that was not originally intended for you. It's self centered and arrogant to think that people are so far beneath you that you can't be friendly and polite. This complaint is decades old and that's sad, because for some of African Americans, the unpleasant memory of being looked down on by Africans still lingers.
I don't know how a "DUSTY-3RD-WORLD AFRICAN" can even have the audacity to try to LOOK DOWN ON ANYBODY???...LOL🤣 Especially when their coming from the "Raggedy-3rd-World-Continent Of Africa"...Are u serious please make it make SENSE?????? bc it actually took the White Man, & The Asian Man, primarily to have to go into #AFRICA In the 1st place. Just to try to help develop African & to help them just to be able to have the basics...Like Infrastructure, Roads, Bridges, Modern Buildings, & Even An Economy, Clean Water, & Toilets, TBH🤦.
Bc
Before that Africans were basically just veryyy "Primitive & Tribalistic People" that were actually still shitting in the streets lol. & ACTUALLY STILL ARE TBH...SMH SO FOR A "3RD-WORLD-AFRICAN" TO HAVE THE NERVE, & THE AUDACITY, TO EVEN TRY TO LOOK DOWN ON ANYBODY IS JUST #LAUGHABLE #AND #DELUSIONAL. & AFRICANS REALLY NEED TO STOP!!!!!!! WITH THEIR FAKE ELITISM...LOL. BC AFRICAN'S ARE REALLY JUST 3RD-WORLD #FLEEERS & just delusional, tribalistic, & problematic, ppl. That actually can't build anything on their own so instead they just try to fake it & pretend to somehow be elite people????????...LMAOOO🤣
I don't know of any African that wants to marry or be married to Nigerians.Africans generally wants to marry within their own culture.
WOW - VERY GOOD EXCHANGE OF IDEAS - THANK YOU MS JM?
NO SIR, fighting at clubs is not an age thing. It is a culture, mindset and environment thing that is why you may think it is normal. Africans go to the club or disco to enjoy. Precisely the reason most Africans who are not into thug culture WILL NOT go to hip hop clubs because it is known a fight can always break out when the brothers are around or worse still bullets may fly. No one wants to deal with that when they have real life committments.
In Africa, fighting and being disrespectful is not tolerated and if you are the type that loves to start trouble you may just get handled by everyone else. And the police will not tolerate rowdiness. So saying it is an age thing is an excuse. I have visited many countries and never seen a fight in a place where people were out having fun.
So there are no criminal gangs in Africa? I've seen numerous stories about how the men traffic the women, sometimes to Europe. No drug users? No mafia? What about the internet scammers?. Aren't Nigerians known for trafficking heroine like the current president Tinubu?
@@arthursmith8771 We dont do that where I am from in Southern Africa. I think some Nigerians are known for doing that which coincidentally is where most African Americans originated from. I love Nigerians but i cannot help but notice that some of their behavior is very close to what African Americans exhibit. Love of gold, chains, money etc. They also throw money at birthday parties, weddings etc which is what the bros do at the strip clubs.
@@arthursmith8771 Yes, there are criminal gangs in Nigeria, but we do NOT have preteens, or early teenagers, of high school age, doing robberies. I didn't even know what a juvenile was until I came to America because in Nigeria, we spank the youth
Black people dont like each other anywhere! I was living in an Indian community and saw the difference! Needs a miracle for black people to have their unity 😢

The curses are still there passed down from ancestors. Only the exceptance of the sacrafice...blood shed at the cross will deliver africans from the curse of sa ta...nic.
They say we have "no culture," but join our college Greek orgs, bands, cheer squads, choirs etc....That's FBA culture you are appropriating...We formed all of them after slavery, yet no other country could duplicate the same ststem.
Nobody is saying you have no culture except yourselves.

They are out to enjoy themselves, such behaviour is frowned upon abd cursing is just a no no.

Just because a group of people don't prefer your taste that doesn't mean they hate you. Different people have different taste
Unfortunately, far too many AAs have too deep of an inferiority complex to process this.

@@biorobot2 inferiority complex, mumu person, always worshiping Americans, no wonder they treat you like sh&t.
Africans attitude towards AAs is shaped by those stupid hollywood movies where AAs are depicted as loud, rowdy and come with closed superiority complex mindset. The AAs also have preconceived notion of what Africans are all about, never mind that there are huge differences between different ethnicities in Africa. We need to visit each others' communities more. With social media we can definitely do better than we before 2k. Gud point about not seeing drunks fighting in Africa, quite rear in most African countries. In the west youth like bullying each other
ADOS are loud, many of them. That’s no Hollywood, at least in the west coast.
@@madameclark3453 they follow hollywood scripts (even Africans are falling for that thru watching Tyler Perry junk - I seen Eddy Murphy style of disgusting comedy. Thank God there is Dave Chappelle to correct those stupid things

@@charlesmoore6186and the opposite is true.
I am 55 years old and love Afrobeats! I became a fan a few months ago and is trying to get my 20 year old son to give to Afrobeats music a try.
My advise is no two people in a relationship will sadly ever contribute the same! There's always someone contributing more than the other whether it's love or material stuff. Those who've been entrusted with the vision in this case "African Home Coming/ Unification, are always going to offer more than those Africans who've always been at home in Africa 'cos they don't see or have never experienced the evil the Diaspora people 'are running from.' It'll take some generations with some groups but we shouldn't ran away from the challenge. ❤

My experience has been that East Africans are more friendly than West Africans but Kenyans and Nigerians were a mixture of good and bad things
I've noticed that East Africans are MUCH friendlier- the Somalis, Ethiopians, and South Sudanese. It confused me being that much of our ancestry is West African and I learned not to speak to West Africans as most of them are very cold. No offense to anyone but most Nigerians I've met have been arrogant and unpleasant.
@michellehubbard8865 preach sister, my exact experience. As you have said we share most of our ancestry with West Africans but East Africans have always been more friendly and welcoming lol they always assume I'm East African
@@michellehubbard8865 We’re not necessarily arrogant, but we are proud.
@@Nigerian-born_American It must be an American thing then. I was taught not to boast and I don't feel the need to be condescending to prove my superiority. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being proud of your ethnicity but it's a different thing to have a superiority complex. Just my opinion.
@@michellehubbard8865 I respectfully disagree. I recall coming to this country, as a child, and Black Americans were proud not to be African, claiming their superiority, et cetera. Moreover, I never complained about it because I knew that we were different just like a crocodile differs from an alligator, even though they look alike. Likewise, if you want to speak about arrogance, Black Americans, show more arrogance such as “I am a proud BLACK woman”, “black girl magic”, “strong black woman”, “black is proud”, etc. Need I go any further? We Nigerians, even though we differ via tribal cultural practice, express our pride via cultural aspects.

One issue I see is that when Black Americans go to African nations to visit and/or live there' the expectation for them to learn the language, history and people. However, most Africans do not same when coming to the United States to better understand and empathize with Black Americans. If that was done more then I believe we could build stronger and more mutually respectful relationships overall.
The reason may be because the one giving them citizenship is White Americans and majority is white in Usa. If Usa was a majority a black nation it would be different!
learn the language?😂😂😂😂
Exactly, they expect us to do the most while they do nothing but finger wag & call us akatas.

There’s some AA that have broken the American brainwashing and are looking to make money and go to Africa and start business. You have to understand America is 75% white. Still til this day AA are BRAINWASHED. They’re mentally enslaved by media. All they know is america. A life of being at the bottom.
😂😂😂 true!! At their perception of the diaspora.
In my opinion, African parents are warning their kids about the negative stereotypes they have heard or seen - specifically the African American culture from the South.
The blacks in the South borrowed or assimilated into a culture that is destructive - that is not to say that the entire culture in the South is destructive, it is just that the negative stereotypes are often associated with those from the South...buggy jeans, being loud and boisterous, thugging, drama etc. This once again goes back to the days of slavery, when blacks in the North and the South were treated differently...
Other than that, African Americans have also often seen only negative stereotypes of Africans. So it is understandable if they act a certain way towards Africans.
There is a bridge somewhere that needs to be connected...
African parents would definitely don't want their children to adopt western culture such as rainbow agenda. 😢
You lived in the south?
There is no bridge and no need for one.
Detroit isn't South most Ghetto/certainareas of NY Philli? on and on ..omg redo the entire lie but with the😅😅 truth!
African civil wars, genocides, political corruption against each other are "destructive"
only blacks people would group themselves as "we are all africans". It is completely meaningless! East, West, North and South regions of the continent are different. Do you ever hear an asian person say "we are all asians" which would include indians, chinese, south east asian peoples not to mention the peoples of central asia. BTW, the biggest gap between AA and Africans is AA are generally not that educated which is something Africans take very seriously.
Love your show bruh
Thank you so much brother
We are all African or Caribbean at the end of the day. A lot of AA don’t accept it sadly

There is no nationality called African . African is a race of black people . 1920 US-CENSUS African, European, Asian and Native American . HBCU's admit mostly Black Nigerian Americans, Afro-Jamaicans and African Americans not Black Djiboutians or Black Ethiopians or Black South Africans or Afro-Mexicans .
African is a race of black people not a nationality . black/African/Negroid . white/European/Caucasoid . yellow/Asian/mongoloid or a mixture like Obama(Black and White) .
At least 120 million Africans in brazil(afro-Brazilians), Africans in Mexico(afro-Mexicans), Africans in America(afro-Americans) , Africans in Jamaica(afro-Jamaicans) . Roughly 46 million Black in America .
And 4.1 million Black from outside America living in US . And 2.1 million Black in America from Caribbean, Central, South America, EU, Canada etc . And 2 million Black from Africa in America .
Africa continent 1.46 Billion population with 1.3 billion black population .
black/African American(used interchangeably with race or ethnicity because of history) . Michelle Obama is black/African race , black american ethnicity , American nationality . Lupita Nyongo is black/African race and Kenyan/Mexican Nationality .
George Bush is white/European race , Irish ethnicity and US American nationality .
Elon Musk white/European race , Dutch ethnicity , South-African/ US nationality .
Agree Nationality is tied to the boundaries of a specific country, *not* a continent. There’s no nationality called African, just like there’s no nationality called European. However, African isn’t a race. Elon Musk is African. Ethnicity and heritage are more useful ways to describe people who see beyond race.
Is that LAR???
Isn't it about time this crap should stop?

You can stay away from Ados by staying in your own country because the only reason they're even allowed her is because ados fight for civil rights.
