The “we have no culture” is definitely my beef. You can literally see black American culture all over the world and these very same people cosplay as ADOS, using our lingo etc while saying we don’t have culture, they look and sound silly.

Let me remind you that every LIE that is implemented for AGENDS will be torn completely down and thrown in the face of liars whose minds continue to be COLONIZED by their masters in 2022!. There is no defense for a lie. So it's going to be your CULTURE that will of being the joke without respect. Caribbean nor anyone in the western world have a viable language from their original culture. So we can cut that! I'm going to cover the definition of CULTURE, then you can go back and tell your trainers to send you on another mission because this one shows your desperation! FBA/FREEDMEN/BLACK AMERICANS didn't rely on Caribbean's, Africans nor Europeans for Black American Culture. Our ancestors CREATED and left the Playbook in the hands of THEIR CHILDREN! We are committed to protect it by "any means necessary!" Immigrants brought NOTHING to the table in the U.S. we had not already done to claim, you have a culture and we have no culture. Those of you claiming that show YOU'RE STILL NO MORE THAN SLAVES, taught and raised by those who submitted their entire core to being subjected. When our people were charting calculations to lay out Washington D.C., creating automobiles, becoming the first medical doctors, lawyers, inventing all kind of household inventions, that was BLACK AMERICAN CULTURE. What were Africans and Caribbean's doing besides trying to get into the U.S.?

Or most of you are going back where you come from when they finish with you and you are just about done! We are most definitely finished with you.

@@BronzeSistacommon sense ain't common. I am born into a western culture too however the difference between you and me is my parent respected our culture enough to ensure we had it growing up. In your case, your ancestor was either robbed by their culture or decided to rely on the culture of their captor. Culture is learned instead of relying on the culture of your captor and being racist to your fellow black skin people from the continent of Africa or those of carribean origin, you can spend that time to search for your identity and find your peace. Stop blaming others for your insecurity&awful manners. It's always someone else fault but yourself. If its not racism, it's Africans don't like us, it's always something. Pls see the mirror
Caribbeans/Jamaicans that was born and raised on the islands are different. Being a “descendant” is a completely different experience. This was an American debate.
Completely agree! I was born here even though my family is from Haiti, so it would be more appropriate, in my opinion, for this conversation to take place with someone born outside of the US. You would get a different perspective.
@@hadrianhexe9603I’m Caribbean American and I agree…being raised in the US being surrounded by US culture and benefiting from being a US citizen is different than being raised in another country/island. How? Because it’s a different culture over here. Having the word American attached to one’s culture definitely is a diff experience. I was raised by my family but I still went to school in America which is where most of the indoctrination, socialization, shaping of perspective happens. For this to truly be a balanced debate we need to hear from someone not just “born” but actually raised somewhere in the Caribbean and raised in an African country as well as descendants of those places and direct blacks native to America.
African American culture - Jumping the Broom, Mac and cheese, Greens and sweet potatoes (the way we make it). Jambalaya. The Gullah Geechee are technically African Americans. The Nation of Islam. Bean Pie 😂 R&B Hip Hop, Rap, Jazz, The Blues, Go Go, certain dances, AAVE - people immigrate to the US, assimilate in with African Americans and begin speaking AAVE but it’s still our culture & language. They’re just assimilating into African American culture and then saying it’s not a culture because they can assimilate into it but it is part of our culture. White people even take from AAVE and make it trendy in their circles but they are taking from it - it’s not their culture. We joke a lot. Our swag, clothing and hair trends. Our art and literature. Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison. James Baldwin. Josephine Baker. Our hundreds of years of struggle here - our strength. There were many slave revolts on US soil and the response was hangings, chopping peoples heads off and dismembering them. Also the US is much larger geographically than a lot of the small islands and we were outnumbered by whites in comparison - also the Caribbean had a larger number of African enslaved people. Much different playing field. Also the US was prime land because of its cooler temperatures something that white people did not want to give up. It was likely much harder to overthrow the whites here during slavery. The National Museum of African American History and Culture is a great place to learn more about our culture and history in the US. Great 👍🏾 conversation!

I’m African American/Freedmen/ADOS there is so much to say but what stands out, first is the children of immigrants passing ALL the blame to the parents or elders. Please STOP that y’all wouldn’t be repeating this nonsense if “you” didn’t believe it too.
They have been here all their lives, so they will know that some people live on welfare and section 8. Then some are hardworking and highly educated. That is the reality so why would they be blind to it?
@@taq1238 they would know that they left behind millions of people like their mother and father in a land mass designated pacifically for them and should question why didn’t those people have that same drive? The people left behind in failed countries share the same family values and traditions, why havent they been able to make that work for all of them. Is what they should be questioning. FYI. Dry begging (immigration) is welfare as well Sir.
Black Americans fought for everything we got in the country. We even fought for jamaican immigrants to come to America. When this country wanted nothing to do will the caribbeans. This the thanks we get. 😡
@@maikelbarnett8162 I was born in china. We move to america when I was 15. Racially I'm African. Geopolitically I'm chi-american. 😁😁 Black just describes how you look not who you are.
We as the entire world of black ppl owe you a HUGE thankyou...without black America, we would still be in figurative chains too. As a South African, we have a great country, but its still owned by white folk The biggest issue i see, why blacks outside America dont respect Black Americans is the ethnic image you guys have and create. The twerking, general disrespect (willin) and being portrade as unrully. In Africa, the family values still rain supreme, and such behaviour is frowned apon. We are no better, or worse, we just have to find common ground!🙌 Hiphop we all love, but its destructive too. Thats why china banned it
I'm Nigerian and American. My father is Nigerian, and mother is from America. The beef is curated by the "others" and western media. I'm first generation. This was done by the powers that be and it's SPIRITUAL.
There is no beef in the diaspora coming from the FBA side. FBA people have ignored the disrespect and comments coming from the Caribbean and African immigrants and now they are no longer accepting it and speaking up. When you come into someone's home and show disrespect then it is only a matter of time before there is a backlash.
@damilare ogunleye I have never met an adult FBA who has insulted an African for coming to America. If you were not ignorant of history you would know that the reason you are allowed here is because of our fighting for you to be.
Yall lie about this all the time. Yall never take responsibility for how yall have always disrespected us. Sickening. And as far as reparations a lot of the countries that were complicit with the european slave trade owe us too.
@@thedropzoneunlimited5710 You have gotten away with disrespecting FBA so long that you talk like a White Supremacist. As for reparations you seem to forget that Africans owe us reparations too since it was Africans who sold us in the first place. You are not eligible for reparations from the US government just like I am not eligible for Reparations from France or England like Caribbean Blacks. All you see is a bag and you want some. It is sad and pathetic. The more you talk the more ridiculous you sound and the more your character is revealed.
nicklebaby There are conversations all the time that are not diverse at all. The young lady whose parents is from the Caribbean, and the one who is half Jamaican are not going to lie on their grandparent, and parents. I have heard Caribbean and African women say as much, but never in our faces. It behooves me the things that are being said. I think Facts speaks volume. They allowed Caribbean's and Africans here because they considered them obedient, and that's what the whites you guys love so much have said even today. Most of the people of Jamaica live in poverty. So all we are dealing with here is the WILLIE LYNCH syndrome, people know exactly what they are doing!
@@msrubie11 The ladies are of Caribbean decent if I remember correctly. They are essentially American and as such would be bias. I never said they would lie on their parents or grandparents. I said the conversation would be better if they were persons who were born and live in the Caribbean giving their views.
@@nicklebaby Both of her parents are Caribbean, do you think she would misrepresent her mother? Also I have heard only Caribbean and Africans in rooms disbarring Black Americans. No one seem to have a problem doing this. I understand the agenda that many Black Immigrants have signed up for. Yet the Islands and Africa is being colonized as we speak! So if Black immigrants want to continue to pretend, that's on you. Black Americans understand who we are and what we bring and have brought to the table, and what we are facing now. You are here using the achievements we fought for and accomplished. Most of the Black millionaires and billionaires in this country are Black American because of Black culture. Yet we have no culture? Our culture is the culture immigrants replicate and monetized. It's the culture that is replicated all over the world. It is us who loved Blackness and fought to be proudly Black. Yet the Caribbean and Africa are quick and constant is regurgitating what I believe is an agenda they have been given, to utter Black Americans have no culture as you immerse yourselves in it. It is Africans and Jamaicans who bleach their skin attempting to be white. So let's deal with the truth, no one is going to allow you to come to their country and undermine them and destroy the further of their children without server backlash. Africans nor Caribbean would allow this. So educate your people Nickebaby instead of being defensive. I heard a great conversation, embrace it! I know my people, FBA/FREEMEN are not going to back down. Possibly you should go on the panel and give your views, next time. Blessings to you!
Being black american is being yourself, that is who you are, we're a new people, we are an amalgamation, we have our own ethnic lineage and culture, just like everyone else, everyone tries to down play it and act like they don't know what it is, while trying to claim it as their own, just because they're family immigrated here and they grew up in it. It's erasure to not acknowledge that and act like you don't know what our culture is or consist of. We are the real representation of america, and even though we and carribeans shared the same boat, we have some similarities. However, it's not exact. If it was exactly the same, they would have come here and understood our plight. However, they didn't. Some had to come and live amongst us for years to understand, and even then, some still don't. Black americans are different.
@SimonLloydGuitar yet Black Americans are the only Black people. Africans try to strong-arm us and tell us we need to unite with Africans, as if we have the same culture. We don't.

As a Black Haitian Canadian(Born in NY, Family on all sides Haitian, grew-up in Canada) now living in the USA(The deep NC south) , I have no beef with Black Americans. I don't have time for beef, I have my own self interest(Family, Robotics, Engineering, Community Building & Entrepreneurship) and they have their own self interest, sometimes it aligns and we work together. I'm of the strong belief that pro-black doesn't equate to pro-Black Americans, pro-African or pro-Carribean, pro-Black European, pro-Black Canadian, pro-Black Asian it's actually working for the benefits of all by finding overlap between all those ideology. In all case, great panel! :)

What folks don’t realize is these yt folks are gonna create a bill to deport all non black Americans. They fail to realize we can’t be deport, they can.
I feel like most of the hate would be from the Africans living in the us . As an African living in Africa I never knew there was this kind of hate going on . Black Americans who have visited the African continent have always been welcomed here and given love . I feel like generalizing would be terrible.
Victims of divide and conquer. Africans and Caribbeans have not been thought black history in school. We was just thought for the most that one is better than the other. Thanks to social media and platforms like this we can come together educate ourselves and heal. I really appreciate this discussion.
Wrong. Pls specify which country precisely rather than generalising. I am African of the igbo tribe and our ancestor ensured to pass down our history and in the modern world this are written down stories and in Nigeria we were taught our history both at school and in the family. Some history are essentially safeguarded in the community and passed down from generation to generation.
Caribbeans & Africans were also taught history, what are you talking about …. Furthermore black history is not just American history. I’m 100% sure Americans don’t know about ALL black history or anything much outside of their borders. Like c’mon.
What who is we? Maybe you just one of those ppl that never paid attention in school. Caribbean ppl very well know their history! And our history does not = Africa. Jerk chicken came from our Arawaks 🙄
I understand what you're saying. Caribbeans & Africans living withing the US do not know about Black American history! I think that is why there is such a disconnect at times. But it would definitely help to bring some understanding amongst each other. ❤

"You're taking American dollars..." No, they contributing Nigerian/Jamaican/ADOS manpower, intellect etc. its not charity, its quid pro quo... they pay taxes and earn that s**t "Meanwhile the people here are still suffering..." but ADOS can do the same thing they're doing and fund their community... and the reality is many immigrants DO contribute to their black communities. Caribbeans have worked with black folks for decades. Top Nigerian doctors work in black communities to improve medical care etc. "If they were to come and build with us..." I think different communities got different views of how to build, kinda like Malcolm and MLK. The immigrants feel like you gotta be more concerned about education... ADOS feel its the "white man's education"... but actually math is math "we kinda start the choo-choo train" ... well, with some things. And yes if its good ppl going to follow (jazz, reggae, afrobeats) and you can lead. But if its bad, they gonna move away. But honestly, most African countries don't have black American affairs on their radar, they worried about their countries. Kids follow what they see on TV and that's pretty much it.

This conversation stressed me out and eased me at the same time… 😮 I love that they were able to speak objectively and not out of emotion, or maybe sum idk idk. I’m still processing the this… definitely sharing!
As a person from the Caribbean, let me state this; THAT was an American panel. Stories from grandparents cannot replace lived experiences. Our take on racism will never be the same as Americans. We live in countries where our population is mostly black or mixed. So the only racism most of us will ever see is from America TV. However, don't be fooled, Caribbean ppl are highly educated, and we are very versed in our history and culture. We just chose not to keep ourselves in perpetual mental slavery. We take the good parts of our history and celebrate it. What Americans also forget is our ancestors are not only from Africa. Our ancestors are also Indian, Portuguese Arawaks, Caribs, Maroons, garifuna etc. So alot of us are not going to relate to "we are all Africans". That culture was taken away centuries ago. The famous Jamaica jerk meat that the world loves came from our Arawak ancestors.
The Maroons are Africans. The Garifunas are Africans. Please study your history very well. Majority of Jamaica identity with their Africanism, it is only a small that don’t. The Garifunas are people that strongly embraced their Africanism and they fought hard to NOT to be stripped of that.
Maroons are descendants of Africans in the Americas and Islands of the Indian Ocean who escaped from slavery and formed their own settlements. They often mixed with indigenous peoples, eventually evolving into separate creole cultures such as the Garifuna and the Mascogos. en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki Maroons - Wikipedia
Bob Marley embraced his Africanism and advocated Black Jamaicans to be proud of their Africanism. Rita Marley has been living in Ghana 🇬🇭West Africa for the past 40 years. In Ghana 🇬🇭, there’s a place called The Jamaican Village where many Jamaicans are currently relocating there and the surrounding places in 🇬🇭. Did you even know that the Reggae music was influenced by what was going on from colonialism in Ghana 🇬🇭 around 1957 when Ghana 🇬🇭 became the first African Country to gain independence. Many Jamaican musicians like Bob Marley were traveling to Ghana and seeing the brutality of the colonial masters. Please, listen very well to the lyrics in Bob Marley songs. Please, speak for yourself because MAJORITY of Jamaicans AND THE CARIBBEANS love and identify with their African heritage.

Question would the "West Indian people" include Indian people or would Black people from "West indies" identify with a "Black racial identity" ? Excuse my ignorance if I sound that way.
Fascinating discussion, but it definitely needed someone who is “African” or “Caribbean” to give their perspective on the conversation. Also in my opinion, education on culture and history is paramount when learning about topics relating to Black people as a diaspora or monolith. This goes along way in connecting folks even closer to their original roots
She said she can't tell who's who in NY because they all sound the same, but who does she think they all sound like??? *drumroll*. African Americans!!! I was waiting for y'all to say that.

Come on there’s Chinese Jamaicans who speak pure patios and no one tells them there stealing nothing cause that’s there national language one there friends and community speak, your not making sense. You got a Mexican American who is born in the states and no one tells at them for speaking English in fact ppl get mad if they don’t, what is this argument? Ofcourse ppl who migrate to the states no matter where there from will speak English and yes if they grew up in a AA town or city they would know AAVE? It’s not stealing.

I know right, the stono rebellion, the Afro Seminole wars, various race riots in south Carolina during reconstruction when whites were trying to remove our rights, and much more. You can even find old newspapers of black mobs gathering threatening to burn cities if their right rights to bear arms were infringed apon. People saying FBOS are docile and just took the oppression have never picked up a book
Don’t underestimate the power of the media a lot of peoples views are shaped by the media that is why it’s important that everyone has a space in it so we all tell our own stories and educate one another. Really wish you had an African on here but good job regardless. Very well spoken and no arguing. And In South Africa Africans will fight and die as well for our rights so we will fight along side you cause we’ve done it before

This is bunch of foolishness. Caribbeans were asking for reparations before african americans in the modern era. Caricom, and haiti were asking for reparations before ADOS, and FBA. The namibians just received repaeations from germany. They werent looking to afrixan americans for their cues. This is why certain black immigrants see african americans as arrogant due to their ignorance.

@@FBA_God_Emperor_Doom I said fba and ados which are new movements. In the caribbean they were asking for reparations as well when it was abolished before america abolished slavery.
I love this queens talking points, IM FOR MY PEOPLE… That’s it, I’m for my people, there’s no hate I still love y’all but I’m only and all for my ADOS people… Uniting is dead, the whole diaspora look at black Americans in a negative way and talk down on us…
The thing is that I don't even care about them talking down about our people because I don't care about their approval of us. The problem is that we even allowed them in this space for them to think that their viewpoint about us matter. We're an American shaped ethnic community that has a history that we should be proud of and shouldn't have to feel like we have to "unite" with any other community out of misguided Pan Africanism. It makes no sense to have this mindset.
I'm a Bahamian and I did not know until maybe last year that there seems to be tremendous beef in the black diaspora...I believe that Afro-Americans have alot to be proud of and I have never looked down on the. it was the opposite...I admire them...(older generation) but after watching another video regarding similar topic, and read the comments from some Afro-Caribbeans I was shocked by them...Also, I think there are similar transactions taking place because there are americans who've set up businesses in Caribbean and send monies back to America. Also I dont think Caribbean people say to their children not to "hang" with afro-americans because they are "thugs" Caribbean people would probably be held more accountable because they are not in their homeland/country and no one is there to come to their rescue...so they just try to tell them keep to themselves...(not to say Afro-americans are bad) because if there's a fight, and a caribbean person gets involved trying to help their afro-american friend, that caribbean person can lose their travel rights to america or have their student visa revoked..but yes I agree some Caribbean people are not educated on the truth likewise some afro-americans aren't either...there's so much to be said but I think each diaspora has been negatively portrayed and also each has benefitted from each other
I'm tired of hearing that. They are in the culture dress like the culture. Listen to our music hip-hop, blues, Rock, funk, R&B, soul. They eat our food soul food, jumbo and stew. I mean black Americans are trend setters for the world. Everything that we use in our house was invented by black Americans the disrespect is crazy.
@D&B many black Americans profit off our culture fuck are you talking about are you slow??? And yes swag, every culture has their own swag/style, you’re so busy trying to insult that you’re coming off as a hater and ignorant..
Wow, great discussion. Everyone had great points. I'm FBA and do you think that you could have a discussion with the immigrant parents who come here and teach their children not to deal with black Americans and get their opinions and feelings on the subject. Well done.

Yup. It's an American panel. Caribbean ppl with lived experiences have waaaay different views and we know our history. That Jamaican caribbean girl didn't know how to dispelled all that gibberish with historical facts.
Boils down to education and culture are major reasons why the level of progress between African American, Afro Caribbean and Africans vary. Love platforms as this the allows diasporans a space to have much needed dialogue to break barriers and empower one another. The descendants of slavery, mostly African Americans, have to emancipate their minds form mental slavery.
24:40 again with the bs. How dare you suggest that you (Americans) taught Africans how to fight/ advocate for themselves. It’s a natural human instinct that every has. Africans have been fighting for our land since the very beginning. Maybe you don’t need to discuss Africans without an African being on the panel to educate you on our history.
Then why are whites and Asians ruling your country lol it’s white people in Africa with land that Africans can’t come to lmfaoo Africans show an unbelievable amount of weakness I believe it’s jealousy they have of black Americans

On the Descendant of The Pre Civil War Black American Population woman(ADOS), she says some interesting things. Many I agree with but the question that I ask, when she talks about being "on code" on "Black Identity," does she even fully understand it? The problem with conversations like this is trying to incorporate groups that have Sub Saharan African descent whether from the Continent or from the Caribbean into this "Black Identity" dynamic. So when they reject it and do what most people do, represent their own identity, people especially those who have a Pan Africanism perspective get upset with this. As I say all the time, my "Black Card" is my lineage history being a 4th-5th Full Descendant of The Pre Civil War Black American Population; the 1860 Black American Population of 4.4 million in which 88% were enslaved and 12% Free. That's ADOS and Free Black American ancestry. That's the Black American Community, the people who been through the history of what American Blackness entails. Caribbeans and Africans will never understand that dynamic because they don't have any frame of reference for understanding this. I don't care about the opinions on what others outside of my community thinks of me and mine. I know the resilience of my community and proud of us as a community. Are we perfect? Far from it. We have a lot of work to build up our community and we have to get an understanding of our community so that we have pride in it and not care about the opinions of others on us. Let's stop listening to the opinions of others about reparations, our culture and history. We're all that we need and we're the ones that matters!

A majority of slaves brought to the Caribbean during slavery, were American Indians from the colonies. We do not know our true his-story. Do your research.

Outrageous statement about Caribbean, mainly Jamaicans being docile, where on earth did you find that in a book, no sensible person would make such a statement, your remark is just stupid. I have never read in any book or heard of any American going to the Caribbean/Jamaica to help/assist them in any rebellion/revolt against the British of which there were many.
When I heard them saying that I chuckled to my self cause I realized that they clearly had no clue what they were talking about. There were so many slave revolts going on up and down the Caribbean especially as a result of the Haitian revolution. Do they realize that more black people went to the Caribbean, Central and South America than the whole of the USA? Only a small number of enslaved people went to the USA. Also the Caribbean is not a monolith. Different islands or territories was controlled by different nations such as the Dutch, the French, the Spanish and the English so the Queen of England only had control over the English speaking islands and territories. The Congo from my understanding was controlled by Belgium and not England so when no one corrected the statement about the Queen and the Congo I was surprised. Finally, slavery was abolished in the English speaking Caribbean and Territories in 1834 many years before the USA so how did the enslaved in the USA help us gain freedom? Overall the discussion was interesting however it would have been nice to have a person that was born and raised from the Diaspora to speak on these topics since they would have been able to give a better more informed response. The Caribbean is not a monolith and is made up of over 20 island nations and territories with various languages, religions, races, cultures etc. The region has many similarities but at the same time we different from each other.
They were referring to the people immigrating to the USA being more docile or "well behaved" not necessarily the people there grassroots in JA who obviously have had resistance movements.

Its odd but many of the heroes in black America have a Caribbean connection, either direct, parent(s), or grand parent(s): Stokely Carmichael, Arturo Schomburg, James Weldon Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Malcolm X, Thelonious Monk, Basquiat, Sydney Poitier, Stephen Curry, Lenny Kravitz, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, LL Cool J, Maxwell, etc., etc., . This argument exists mainly because the education we receive is largely absent of the history of black people in the Americas and of the African continent. Many blacks in the Americas North and South share a common ancestor as little as 300 years ago.

i think diaspora wars are kind of taking focus away from the main enemy but i will say there’s a disconnect between FBA’s and other descendants of the diaspora because they don’t know the psychological and sociological impacts that living with and next to your oppressor (post slavery) has on a people. from jim crow to what we experience now with trump, police brutality etc. they come from black countries which is a luxury we weren’t afforded even though we have benefitted in ways others have not been able to in their countries.

15:39 exactly like the Caribbean is WAYY underdeveloped compared to our communities so what have y’all been doing for hundreds of years it’s not like the white people outnumbered you
Some of that is a legacy of colonialism, where many of the territories were left so bereft resource wise by the colonial experience that we are still clawing our way out of that. Furthermore, as island states primarily with limited land space and small populations our capacity for growth is not super great tbh, and it has not been made easier by the various regulations that richer countries (like the U.S. to keep it real) impose in banking, international fiscal policy etc that works in their favour but imposes a disproportionate burden on our small and vulnerable economies.

OMG! Exactly, they just don't understand us or respect our culture. They're forgetting we have Arawak and Carib ancestors too. Just like they are forgetting some AFricans are Arabs too
In years gone by, Mainstream media influenced a lot of the divide, but I think it’s changing with social media and people are becoming more educated on the true history of African Americans. Big up my African American brothers and sisters.
I'm Trini🇹🇹 , I've been to the states a good few times, I've lived in the uk, and now I live in the horn of Africa. As for the vid.. a lot of misinformation lol I can't be bothered to call it all out but to keep it short and sweet, from my experience, it's only cultural differences that differentiate us. We need to stop all the minor bs, come together and get shit done. This crab in a barrel mentality got us moving mad smh Just my 2 cents
Anyone claiming that Hip Hop is a culture. It isn’t. Hip Hop is a subculture, that is predominantly African American, involving cults (gangs), involving ritualised initiation, which always involve some form of violence as entry, and it’s subculture is in favour of the usage or distribution of drugs, extortion, prostitution, and anything illegal. Self degradation of themselves and the depopulation it’s own ethnic neighbours. Yes I’m typing in UK Eng. but I am A Floridian/North Carolinian Native Haitian-American. It is what it is. Some of us are worthy and most of us are not. The ones who are don’t waste time talking about this subject publicly, the African Americans here as well as some Caribbeans have made their bed, and they will lie in it alone. I’m not taking up for anyone, of ANY ethnic background.
I love this conversation we need more of them. Jamaicans will always stand with black Americans, because we see the injustice against you there. Some of us go there and experience it ourselves, you'll always be welcomed here regardless of what you think of us. In fact, we've always been standing with you ever since we met. There should never be any misunderstandings between us, that would be stupid. We're all about progression and if you understand that we'll get along fine. The only thing I'd debate against when it comes to African Americans is the history of Liberia, but to some degree I understand that they couldn't go back to a life of tribalism after facing the full brunt of inhumanity. However, it concerns me how flawlessly they adopted the mentality of the colonizers, the oppressed became the oppressors. I'm not a fan of tribalism, but there must have been a better way to handle that situation. Regardless, if you ever need support, know that we'll always stand against injustice. 🇯🇲✊🏾🇺🇲

Our livable wage is an embarrassment we all know our shortcomings and own up to them to the point of looking like we hate jamaica. But black americans got to own there shit too. most of these here on the panel are young . I've been travelling since primary school. Alot of these stereotypes used to true. The younger generation has turned that around but it wasnt always what they know it to be today. They also got to understand that Jamaican people dont have a safety net so we naturally push harder and talking bout we get favoured for housing when come here is bollocks. I have rarely sen even upper middle class jamaicans come and buy houses. They live in the same complexes and even section 8 housing with the black americans. we were their neighbours.

@@blessedbeauty5411 i didnt mean all of us😅😅, but my point was we living in the same neibourhoods they are when we newly arrive here.. she was saying we were getting special housing over african americans when we first come to america and this is not true. a lot people i know dont land in the middle class when they come to south florida even when they are of means in jamaica . thats my point.
African and west Indians need to respect Black Americans. IM Uk Black the truth is truth. Outside you think people looking at us different totally stupid to look sideways on a set of people that been done dirty by the same folk actually it shows how much knowledge we have not learned.
When I saw a black American girl in university doing a foreign exchange program from America to the US I wanted to befriend her because I really wanted to know American culture. Anyway she would give me e look that white people give blacks. Lmao I was confused however when she was with white British people she would simp nd almost beg for friendship. However when I met black British people, I never felt judged they were welcoming. Made genuine friendship. I feel American black or white have a superior complex, and now the rest of the world is not interested or buying the cap. I feel black Americans r confused why Africans have decided to embrace their culture be proud and not want to follow their culture or strange behaviours
You are right, they low key think lowly of us. But we have evolved past their stagnant culture. We are popping now and they can't have it. The secret is to know our worth as Africans and forget this African Americans, they can't be trusted.
Are you dark-skinned? That's probably why she didn't gravitate towards you because they're obsessed with anything that is mixed or mixed looking. So if you were lighter-skinned she would have broke her neck to accommodate for you
Yes, I am an African and have Carribbean and Black American friends. We have a lot in common especially with the Black Caribbeans in culture and needs;ie hair care and skin care products,food,values and norms. For instance,my Trinidad and Tobago friend's physique looks exactly like a Ghanaian's.

I know right. That "Jamaican" girl doesn't know our history to dispell the American gibberish. Lol. Marcus Garvey was there before Rosa Parks, MLK and MalcolmX. Clive Campbell, a Jamaican, started hip Hop "their culture". Caribbean slaves were emancipated before American slaves. Alot of revolts were lead by Caribs and Maroons.
@@paradisesunprincess it’s deeply disturbing how uneducated you are. Garvey was a fraud, a tool used by the us government that died in England far away from Jamaica. We have our own hero’s.
Pure Black Americans? What is that? And would a Caribbean let a Black American come to their country and talk shit to and about them or their people in their own home? Case tested.
Garvey was not a major leader for us. Many Caribbean people act as if though they came here and freed us and it’s simply not true. It’s like when they claim Malcom to be Caribbean, as if he doesn’t have a Black American father. When you come to other peoples home and talk I’ll of them while simultaneously benefitting from them it is a karmic price to pay. In your case, it is your current recolonization.
"My boyfriend is Nigerian, his mindset is me, my family that's it" ... nah... he just trying to tell you he's going to control what he CAN control. So your mindset of "my people" what does that actually mean - like what action are you taking? You're boyfriend understand that if he stack, he has more OPTIONS to help all his people. First things first. But I'm sure you not turning down no nice gifts 🤣🤣
The point of that comment, was to show how the mindset is different. I’m not doing what I do today just to help my family . I’m in it to help my lineage and generations to come.

Yall got no culture sorry everything here came from somewhere else 😂
Who went from South Carolina to tell people that were slaves what they were doing lemme know 😆
Jamaicans been coming to the US before African American had rights Marcus Garvey is just one example way before the civil right era lol 😂
There’s no lock of information in Jamaica gwerl we have wifi and access to google just as y’all you crazy 😂
The “we have no culture” is definitely my beef. You can literally see black American culture all over the world and these very same people cosplay as ADOS, using our lingo etc while saying we don’t have culture, they look and sound silly.

We have all that's defined and more. Let me remind you that every LIE that is implemented for AGENDS will be torn completely down and thrown in the face of liars whose minds continue to be COLONIZED by their masters in 2022!. There is no defense for a lie. So it's going to be your CULTURE that will of being the joke without respect. Caribbean nor anyone in the western world have a viable language from their original culture.
So we can cut that! I'm going to cover the definition of CULTURE, then you can go back and tell your trainers to send you on another mission because this one shows your desperation! FBA/FREEDMEN/BLACK AMERICANS didn't rely on Caribbean's, Africans nor Europeans for Black American Culture.
Our ancestors CREATED and left the Playbook in the hands of THEIR CHILDREN! We are committed to protect it by "any means necessary!" Immigrants brought NOTHING to the table in the U.S. we had not already done to claim, you have a culture and we have no culture. Those of you claiming that show YOU'RE STILL NO MORE THAN SLAVES, taught and raised by those who submitted their entire core to being subjected.
When our people were charting calculations to lay out Washington D.C., creating automobiles, becoming the first medical doctors, lawyers, inventing all kind of household inventions, that was BLACK AMERICAN CULTURE. What were Africans and Caribbean's doing besides trying to get into the U.S.?
@@uchenna127
Your first comment should have been your last, because you can't shed any light on anyone's IGNORANCE but the ones who raised you. Your parents are ignorant for producing and sending out such a disrespectful empty vessel of a person to someone else's country where you are going to eventually end up in an isolated hole.
Or most of you are going back where you come from when they finish with you and you are just about done! We are most definitely finished with you. So in a bit you can kiss your business in the Black American community or attempting to cater to us, GOODBYE! The majority of your people are not worth the time or the effort, your minds will forever be COLONIZED.
Europeans come from all over the world to listen to Black American Music and partake is GOOD OLD SOUL FOOD at Black American establishments in New Orleans, Mississippi and Memphis TN! All meat dishes are made out of one or the other! Last time I checked we mastered PORK, and beef in the U.S.! You will notice HIP HOP, also a Black American Music Genre, is CREDITED TO THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED IT!

Doesn't make all of you Africans and Caribbean's look quite silly? At least the Caribbean's have Reggae, thanks to Bob Marley and the Wailers, and Dance Hall thanks to other Caribbean Artist.

Black Americans have AWARD winning FOODS, Africa have flies around their pots, quite appetizing for Africans because NO ONE ELSE WANTS IT! I would suggest that the next time you weak, jealous, COLONIZED MINED LOSERS, pick a topic. Make sure it's not CULTURE and HIP HOP, because you created, and cannot replicate neither to make it as MARKETABLE as Black Americans, because it's not original to you.
We don’t own our culture tho so therefore it’s now ours. We just create it
@@BlackGodKing-oi2gr
Again, you don't own yours and the people here talking and under minding Black Americans don't have a Culture that have accomplished what Black Americans have, therefore they are willing to come here and attempt to interject themselves in Black Americans Culture because of their SKIN, while spewing venom against our people. They are very fortunate it is THIS TIME in the U.S. and our people are savvy enough to defang them. The previous generation of the 1990's would handle this differently. Black Americans OWN THEIR CULTURE. People can enjoy and compliment other's Culture respectfully. This is not what Africans, Latins, and some Caribbean are doing. It's not their culture and if you are from one of those groups it's not yours either! If you are FBA you are an ignorant man that no one has time for. But you chimed in and let's show you the difference in MEN and COLONIZED MINDED FOOLS, who come to others countries. Because even though they have wealth under their feet, they cannot accomplish anything in their own lands! My heart goes out to this man and I hope his murder get's the death penalty. But out of all the African men standing around, none attempted to stop this man from killing their brother! WEAKNESS, and no honor!

@@uchenna127 I can literally make all that shit up right now. We definitely have arts, foods, festivals, and all that other stuff you claim is the basis of culture. Our culture(the way we are& what we do) is the most popular on the planet. Stop lying to yourself and telling yourself bullshit to feel better about your people. You don’t have to shit on us to lift your people up and that’s the problem will y’all.
As a Black American I feel we should have unity at home first before we try to tackle a different culture in Africa.
Culture is learned and not inherent, if you inherent a horrible way of life, for instance self hate and prejudice, then unlearn it period!
@@Newworldlegal we are born into this western culture, why would I want to learn a foreign culture?
@@BronzeSistacommon sense ain't common. I am born into a western culture too however the difference between you and me is my parent respected our culture enough to ensure we had it growing up. In your case, your ancestor was either robbed by their culture or decided to rely on the culture of their captor. Culture is learned instead of relying on the culture of your captor and being racist to your fellow black skin people from the continent of Africa or those of carribean origin, you can spend that time to search for your identity and find your peace. Stop blaming others for your insecurity&awful manners. It's always someone else fault but yourself. If its not racism, it's Africans don't like us, it's always something. Pls see the mirror
Black Americans should focus on Black Americans only. Black Americans need to draw a line in the sand with everbody. Everything else will fall in line
@@Newworldlegal If you don't knock it off banana boat.
Caribbeans/Jamaicans that was born and raised on the islands are different. Being a “descendant” is a completely different experience. This was an American debate.
Completely agree! I was born here even though my family is from Haiti, so it would be more appropriate, in my opinion, for this conversation to take place with someone born outside of the US. You would get a different perspective.
I agree with the jamiacan
Was just gonna say this
How so?
@@hadrianhexe9603I’m Caribbean American and I agree…being raised in the US being surrounded by US culture and benefiting from being a US citizen is different than being raised in another country/island. How? Because it’s a different culture over here. Having the word American attached to one’s culture definitely is a diff experience. I was raised by my family but I still went to school in America which is where most of the indoctrination, socialization, shaping of perspective happens. For this to truly be a balanced debate we need to hear from someone not just “born” but actually raised somewhere in the Caribbean and raised in an African country as well as descendants of those places and direct blacks native to America.
African American culture - Jumping the Broom, Mac and cheese, Greens and sweet potatoes (the way we make it). Jambalaya. The Gullah Geechee are technically African Americans. The Nation of Islam. Bean Pie 😂 R&B Hip Hop, Rap, Jazz, The Blues, Go Go, certain dances, AAVE - people immigrate to the US, assimilate in with African Americans and begin speaking AAVE but it’s still our culture & language. They’re just assimilating into African American culture and then saying it’s not a culture because they can assimilate into it but it is part of our culture. White people even take from AAVE and make it trendy in their circles but they are taking from it - it’s not their culture. We joke a lot. Our swag, clothing and hair trends. Our art and literature. Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison. James Baldwin. Josephine Baker. Our hundreds of years of struggle here - our strength. There were many slave revolts on US soil and the response was hangings, chopping peoples heads off and dismembering them. Also the US is much larger geographically than a lot of the small islands and we were outnumbered by whites in comparison - also the Caribbean had a larger number of African enslaved people. Much different playing field. Also the US was prime land because of its cooler temperatures something that white people did not want to give up. It was likely much harder to overthrow the whites here during slavery. The National Museum of African American History and Culture is a great place to learn more about our culture and history in the US. Great 👍🏾 conversation!
They aren't technically they are African Americans. Michelle Obama is of Gullah descent.

We as the entire world of black ppl owe you a HUGE thankyou...without black America, we would still be in figurative chains too. As a South African, we have a great country, but its still owned by white folk
The biggest issue i see, why blacks outside America dont respect Black Americans is the ethnic image you guys have and create. The twerking, general disrespect (willin) and being portrade as unrully. In Africa, the family values still rain supreme, and such behaviour is frowned apon.

I'm Nigerian and American. My father is Nigerian, and mother is from America. The beef is curated by the "others" and western media. I'm first generation. This was done by the powers that be and it's SPIRITUAL.
Spiritual or not, yes, this is true.
There is no beef in the diaspora coming from the FBA side. FBA people have ignored the disrespect and comments coming from the Caribbean and African immigrants and now they are no longer accepting it and speaking up. When you come into someone's home and show disrespect then it is only a matter of time before there is a backlash.
Lies
Facts
@damilare ogunleye I have never met an adult FBA who has insulted an African for coming to America. If you were not ignorant of history you would know that the reason you are allowed here is because of our fighting for you to be.
Yall lie about this all the time. Yall never take responsibility for how yall have always disrespected us. Sickening. And as far as reparations a lot of the countries that were complicit with the european slave trade owe us too.
@@thedropzoneunlimited5710 You have gotten away with disrespecting FBA so long that you talk like a White Supremacist. As for reparations you seem to forget that Africans owe us reparations too since it was Africans who sold us in the first place. You are not eligible for reparations from the US government just like I am not eligible for Reparations from France or England like Caribbean Blacks. All you see is a bag and you want some. It is sad and pathetic. The more you talk the more ridiculous you sound and the more your character is revealed.
This conversation would be better with African and Caribbean born persons. It was a very American based conversation.
Thanks for watching
nicklebaby
There are conversations all the time that are not diverse at all. The young lady whose parents is from the Caribbean, and the one who is half Jamaican are not going to lie on their grandparent, and parents. I have heard Caribbean and African women say as much, but never in our faces. It behooves me the things that are being said. I think Facts speaks volume. They allowed Caribbean's and Africans here because they considered them obedient, and that's what the whites you guys love so much have said even today. Most of the people of Jamaica live in poverty. So all we are dealing with here is the WILLIE LYNCH syndrome, people know exactly what they are doing!
@@msrubie11 The ladies are of Caribbean decent if I remember correctly. They are essentially American and as such would be bias. I never said they would lie on their parents or grandparents. I said the conversation would be better if they were persons who were born and live in the Caribbean giving their views.
@@nicklebaby
Both of her parents are Caribbean, do you think she would misrepresent her mother? Also I have heard only Caribbean and Africans in rooms disbarring Black Americans. No one seem to have a problem doing this. I understand the agenda that many Black Immigrants have signed up for. Yet the Islands and Africa is being colonized as we speak! So if Black immigrants want to continue to pretend, that's on you.
Black Americans understand who we are and what we bring and have brought to the table, and what we are facing now. You are here using the achievements we fought for and accomplished. Most of the Black millionaires and billionaires in this country are Black American because of Black culture. Yet we have no culture? Our culture is the culture immigrants replicate and monetized.
It's the culture that is replicated all over the world. It is us who loved Blackness and fought to be proudly Black. Yet the Caribbean and Africa are quick and constant is regurgitating what I believe is an agenda they have been given, to utter Black Americans have no culture as you immerse yourselves in it. It is Africans and Jamaicans who bleach their skin attempting to be white.
So let's deal with the truth, no one is going to allow you to come to their country and undermine them and destroy the further of their children without server backlash. Africans nor Caribbean would allow this. So educate your people Nickebaby instead of being defensive. I heard a great conversation, embrace it! I know my people, FBA/FREEMEN are not going to back down. Possibly you should go on the panel and give your views, next time. Blessings to you!
@@msrubie11 I'll read and reply later.
Being black american is being yourself, that is who you are, we're a new people, we are an amalgamation, we have our own ethnic lineage and culture, just like everyone else, everyone tries to down play it and act like they don't know what it is, while trying to claim it as their own, just because they're family immigrated here and they grew up in it. It's erasure to not acknowledge that and act like you don't know what our culture is or consist of. We are the real representation of america, and even though we and carribeans shared the same boat, we have some similarities. However, it's not exact. If it was exactly the same, they would have come here and understood our plight. However, they didn't. Some had to come and live amongst us for years to understand, and even then, some still don't. Black americans are different.
@SimonLloydGuitar yet Black Americans are the only Black people. Africans try to strong-arm us and tell us we need to unite with Africans, as if we have the same culture. We don't.

As a Black Haitian Canadian(Born in NY, Family on all sides Haitian, grew-up in Canada) now living in the USA(The deep NC south) , I have no beef with Black Americans. I don't have time for beef, I have my own self interest(Family, Robotics, Engineering, Community Building & Entrepreneurship) and they have their own self interest, sometimes it aligns and we work together. I'm of the strong belief that pro-black doesn't equate to pro-Black Americans, pro-African or pro-Carribean, pro-Black European, pro-Black Canadian, pro-Black Asian it's actually working for the benefits of all by finding overlap between all those ideology.
In all case, great panel! :)

It says if we worked more cooperatively and United with each other We could Build into an economic power to be reconned with.
We could build up our own institutions, communities, and economic base and take us up even higher.
So no other immigrant or ethnic group even comes close to ADOS FBA economically or culturally. And that's with 500 years of slavery disenfranchisement and oppression

Please keep that same energy. FBA is good

You know white supremacy works on both ends right? So why would you succumb to throwing away your brethren so easily?
I feel like most of the hate would be from the Africans living in the us . As an African living in Africa I never knew there was this kind of hate going on . Black Americans who have visited the African continent have always been welcomed here and given love . I feel like generalizing would be terrible.
Victims of divide and conquer. Africans and Caribbeans have not been thought black history in school. We was just thought for the most that one is better than the other. Thanks to social media and platforms like this we can come together educate ourselves and heal. I really appreciate this discussion.
Wrong. Pls specify which country precisely rather than generalising. I am African of the igbo tribe and our ancestor ensured to pass down our history and in the modern world this are written down stories and in Nigeria we were taught our history both at school and in the family. Some history are essentially safeguarded in the community and passed down from generation to generation.
Caribbeans & Africans were also taught history, what are you talking about …. Furthermore black history is not just American history. I’m 100% sure Americans don’t know about ALL black history or anything much outside of their borders. Like c’mon.
What who is we? Maybe you just one of those ppl that never paid attention in school. Caribbean ppl very well know their history! And our history does not = Africa. Jerk chicken came from our Arawaks 🙄
True enough their countries are still worshiping white gods
I understand what you're saying. Caribbeans & Africans living withing the US do not know about Black American history! I think that is why there is such a disconnect at times. But it would definitely help to bring some understanding amongst each other. ❤

"You're taking American dollars..." No, they contributing Nigerian/Jamaican/ADOS manpower, intellect etc. its not charity, its quid pro quo... they pay taxes and earn that s**t
"Meanwhile the people here are still suffering..." but ADOS can do the same thing they're doing and fund their community... and the reality is many immigrants DO contribute to their black communities. Caribbeans have worked with black folks for decades. Top Nigerian doctors work in black communities to improve medical care etc.
"If they were to come and build with us..." I think different communities got different views of how to build, kinda like Malcolm and MLK. The immigrants feel like you gotta be more concerned about education... ADOS feel its the "white man's education"... but actually math is math
"we kinda start the choo-choo train" ... well, with some things. And yes if its good ppl going to follow (jazz, reggae, afrobeats) and you can lead. But if its bad, they gonna move away. But honestly, most African countries don't have black American affairs on their radar, they worried about their countries. Kids follow what they see on TV and that's pretty much it.

My husband is Nigerian (Isoko) Nd we have been married 13 years. I am so glad we have always had a cultural understanding. He has never said anything to offend me. He doesn't even hang with people that have negative feelings about A.A.'s.

This conversation stressed me out and eased me at the same time… 😮 I love that they were able to speak objectively and not out of emotion, or maybe sum idk idk. I’m still processing the this… definitely sharing!
As a person from the Caribbean, let me state this; THAT was an American panel. Stories from grandparents cannot replace lived experiences.
Our take on racism will never be the same as Americans. We live in countries where our population is mostly black or mixed. So the only racism most of us will ever see is from America TV.
However, don't be fooled, Caribbean ppl are highly educated, and we are very versed in our history and culture. We just chose not to keep ourselves in perpetual mental slavery. We take the good parts of our history and celebrate it. What Americans also forget is our ancestors are not only from Africa. Our ancestors are also Indian, Portuguese Arawaks, Caribs, Maroons, garifuna etc. So alot of us are not going to relate to "we are all Africans". That culture was taken away centuries ago. The famous Jamaica jerk meat that the world loves came from our Arawak ancestors.
We all have from 70 to 90 percent african blood
The Maroons are Africans. The Garifunas are Africans. Please study your history very well. Majority of Jamaica identity with their Africanism, it is only a small that don’t. The Garifunas are people that strongly embraced their Africanism and they fought hard to NOT to be stripped of that.
The name Garifuna itself is an African Word. Please, study, research well before voicing.
Maroons are descendants of Africans in the Americas and Islands of the Indian Ocean who escaped from slavery and formed their own settlements. They often mixed with indigenous peoples, eventually evolving into separate creole cultures such as the Garifuna and the Mascogos.
en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki
Maroons - Wikipedia
Bob Marley embraced his Africanism and advocated Black Jamaicans to be proud of their Africanism. Rita Marley has been living in Ghana 🇬🇭West Africa for the past 40 years. In Ghana 🇬🇭, there’s a place called The Jamaican Village where many Jamaicans are currently relocating there and the surrounding places in 🇬🇭.
Did you even know that the Reggae music was influenced by what was going on from colonialism in Ghana 🇬🇭 around 1957 when Ghana 🇬🇭 became the first African Country to gain independence. Many Jamaican musicians like Bob Marley were traveling to Ghana and seeing the brutality of the colonial masters. Please, listen very well to the lyrics in Bob Marley songs.
Please, speak for yourself because MAJORITY of Jamaicans AND THE CARIBBEANS love and identify with their African heritage.

Well no Marcus Garvey didn’t think of African Americans like that, because He Was On Code With Black Americans not Against Them…. The Jamaicans Wasn’t on Code With Him so he came to America Facts
I am not sure that Caribbean blacks receiving money from the Government of America that African Americans helped them to progress. We came here and worked hard and went to school and gained wealth as a result.
Where? Jamaica should be like Singapore or somewhere, it should be way more developed.
Oh wow. More of this please. This is amazing. More FBA/African/West Indian people having a level headed discussion is what we need. This is where it starts.

Question would the "West Indian people" include Indian people or would Black people from "West indies" identify with a "Black racial identity" ? Excuse my ignorance if I sound that way.
Fascinating discussion, but it definitely needed someone who is “African” or “Caribbean” to give their perspective on the conversation. Also in my opinion, education on culture and history is paramount when learning about topics relating to Black people as a diaspora or monolith. This goes along way in connecting folks even closer to their original roots
She said she can't tell who's who in NY because they all sound the same, but who does she think they all sound like??? *drumroll*. African Americans!!!
I was waiting for y'all to say that.
lol what Latin Americans sound like that too because of there national area! Come on there’s Chinese Jamaicans who speak pure patios and no one tells them there stealing nothing cause that’s there national language one there friends and community speak, your not making sense. You got a Mexican American who is born in the states and no one tells at them for speaking English in fact ppl get mad if they don’t, what is this argument? Ofcourse ppl who migrate to the states no matter where there from will speak English and yes if they grew up in a AA town or city they would know AAVE? It’s not stealing.

I know right, the stono rebellion, the Afro Seminole wars, various race riots in south Carolina during reconstruction when whites were trying to remove our rights, and much more. You can even find old newspapers of black mobs gathering threatening to burn cities if their right rights to bear arms were infringed apon. People saying FBOS are docile and just took the oppression have never picked up a book
Don’t underestimate the power of the media a lot of peoples views are shaped by the media that is why it’s important that everyone has a space in it so we all tell our own stories and educate one another. Really wish you had an African on here but good job regardless. Very well spoken and no arguing. And In South Africa Africans will fight and die as well for our rights so we will fight along side you cause we’ve done it before

This is bunch of foolishness. Caribbeans were asking for reparations before african americans in the modern era. Caricom, and haiti were asking for reparations before ADOS, and FBA. The namibians just received repaeations from germany. They werent looking to afrixan americans for their cues. This is why certain black immigrants see african americans as arrogant due to their ignorance.

Thank you we appreciate you 😊
The thing is that I don't even care about them talking down about our people because I don't care about their approval of us.
The problem is that we even allowed them in this space for them to think that their viewpoint about us matter. We're an American shaped ethnic community that has a history that we should be proud of and shouldn't have to feel like we have to "unite" with any other community out of misguided Pan Africanism. It makes no sense to have this mindset.

@@Maleekthegreat2023 do you know your dusty feet pappy? No because he left your dusty feet mammy.
I'm a Bahamian and I did not know until maybe last year that there seems to be tremendous beef in the black diaspora...I believe that Afro-Americans have alot to be proud of and I have never looked down on the. it was the opposite...I admire them...(older generation) but after watching another video regarding similar topic, and read the comments from some Afro-Caribbeans I was shocked by them...Also, I think there are similar transactions taking place because there are americans who've set up businesses in Caribbean and send monies back to America. Also I dont think Caribbean people say to their children not to "hang" with afro-americans because they are "thugs" Caribbean people would probably be held more accountable because they are not in their homeland/country and no one is there to come to their rescue...so they just try to tell them keep to themselves...(not to say Afro-americans are bad) because if there's a fight, and a caribbean person gets involved trying to help their afro-american friend, that caribbean person can lose their travel rights to america or have their student visa revoked..but yes I agree some Caribbean people are not educated on the truth likewise some afro-americans aren't either...there's so much to be said but I think each diaspora has been negatively portrayed and also each has benefitted from each other
The young lady was saying we have no culture while literally describing our culture???
@loveblue that’s not the only part of our culture… There’s also soul food, swag, Aave/slang…

China was poor a poor country during colonialism. Africa was the only continent with resources back then. Proud African.
This conversation means nothing without someone from Africa…and not just Africa but different countries of Africa
Yup. It's an American panel. Caribbean ppl with lived experiences have waaaay different views and we know our history.
That Jamaican caribbean girl didn't know how to dispelled all that gibberish with historical facts.
Boils down to education and culture are major reasons why the level of progress between African American, Afro Caribbean and Africans vary. Love platforms as this the allows diasporans a space to have much needed dialogue to break barriers and empower one another. The descendants of slavery, mostly African Americans, have to emancipate their minds form mental slavery.
24:40 again with the bs. How dare you suggest that you (Americans) taught Africans how to fight/ advocate for themselves. It’s a natural human instinct that every has. Africans have been fighting for our land since the very beginning. Maybe you don’t need to discuss Africans without an African being on the panel to educate you on our history.
Thank you.
Then why are whites and Asians ruling your country lol it’s white people in Africa with land that Africans can’t come to lmfaoo
Africans show an unbelievable amount of weakness I believe it’s jealousy they have of black Americans

As it should. Reparations is a discussion between America and ADOS.

Only positive comment from FBA
On the Descendant of The Pre Civil War Black American Population woman(ADOS), she says some interesting things. Many I agree with but the question that I ask, when she talks about being "on code" on "Black Identity," does she even fully understand it?
The problem with conversations like this is trying to incorporate groups that have Sub Saharan African descent whether from the Continent or from the Caribbean into this "Black Identity" dynamic. So when they reject it and do what most people do, represent their own identity, people especially those who have a Pan Africanism perspective get upset with this.
As I say all the time, my "Black Card" is my lineage history being a 4th-5th Full Descendant of The Pre Civil War Black American Population; the 1860 Black American Population of 4.4 million in which 88% were enslaved and 12% Free. That's ADOS and Free Black American ancestry.
That's the Black American Community, the people who been through the history of what American Blackness entails. Caribbeans and Africans will never understand that dynamic because they don't have any frame of reference for understanding this.
I don't care about the opinions on what others outside of my community thinks of me and mine. I know the resilience of my community and proud of us as a community. Are we perfect? Far from it. We have a lot of work to build up our community and we have to get an understanding of our community so that we have pride in it and not care about the opinions of others on us.
Let's stop listening to the opinions of others about reparations, our culture and history. We're all that we need and we're the ones that matters!

Outrageous statement about Caribbean, mainly Jamaicans being docile, where on earth did you find that in a book, no sensible person would make such a statement, your remark is just stupid. I have never read in any book or heard of any American going to the Caribbean/Jamaica to help/assist them in any rebellion/revolt against the British of which there were many.
When I heard them saying that I chuckled to my self cause I realized that they clearly had no clue what they were talking about. There were so many slave revolts going on up and down the Caribbean especially as a result of the Haitian revolution. Do they realize that more black people went to the Caribbean, Central and South America than the whole of the USA? Only a small number of enslaved people went to the USA. Also the Caribbean is not a monolith. Different islands or territories was controlled by different nations such as the Dutch, the French, the Spanish and the English so the Queen of England only had control over the English speaking islands and territories. The Congo from my understanding was controlled by Belgium and not England so when no one corrected the statement about the Queen and the Congo I was surprised. Finally, slavery was abolished in the English speaking Caribbean and Territories in 1834 many years before the USA so how did the enslaved in the USA help us gain freedom? Overall the discussion was interesting however it would have been nice to have a person that was born and raised from the Diaspora to speak on these topics since they would have been able to give a better more informed response. The Caribbean is not a monolith and is made up of over 20 island nations and territories with various languages, religions, races, cultures etc. The region has many similarities but at the same time we different from each other.
They were referring to the people immigrating to the USA being more docile or "well behaved" not necessarily the people there grassroots in JA who obviously have had resistance movements.

15:39 exactly like the Caribbean is WAYY underdeveloped compared to our communities so what have y’all been doing for hundreds of years it’s not like the white people outnumbered you
Some of that is a legacy of colonialism, where many of the territories were left so bereft resource wise by the colonial experience that we are still clawing our way out of that. Furthermore, as island states primarily with limited land space and small populations our capacity for growth is not super great tbh, and it has not been made easier by the various regulations that richer countries (like the U.S. to keep it real) impose in banking, international fiscal policy etc that works in their favour but imposes a disproportionate burden on our small and vulnerable economies.
@@randychampion184 Ok so how does that make it better that a group of Immigrants both Caribbean and African who come from sick conditions where there people haven’t built anything in generations than come to my country were we did the hard work and say why aren’t we more ahead as if you were ahead when you were home or else you would stay
@@daimonmcilwain1277 I certainly can't speak for all of us from these parts, but I suspect it's the negative images, stereotyping etc of African Americans coming from pervasive American media that might be colouring attitudes of immigrants. Hopefully by integration in the culture those attitudes can be changed in a positive way.
@@randychampion184 but what does that have to do with your failed under developed homeland 🥴🥴
The entire Africa 💀
Congo is not a colony. Its an independent country
You sure about that
Yes. It's an independent country. In the process of uniting with East African countries to form one
Which the Congo’s? There’s 2 of them.
Mike Jones y'all shouldn't be talking you far from being independent

The commentary about Black American men was cringe. She straight up stereotyped us.

The host is gorgeous 😍
24:23 The Queen runs Congo? Which Queen?. Congo just celebrated 62 years of independence in June this year.
No everyone's equiped to have these discussions. Some times sit quiet.

what bugs me is people think that the caribbean is just black like do ur research bc the caribbeans have indians, chinese, syrians and so on
OMG! Exactly, they just don't understand us or respect our culture. They're forgetting we have Arawak and Carib ancestors too. Just like they are forgetting some AFricans are Arabs too
In years gone by, Mainstream media influenced a lot of the divide, but I think it’s changing with social media and people are becoming more educated on the true history of African Americans. Big up my African American brothers and sisters.
I'm Trini🇹🇹 , I've been to the states a good few times, I've lived in the uk, and now I live in the horn of Africa.
As for the vid.. a lot of misinformation lol I can't be bothered to call it all out but to keep it short and sweet, from my experience, it's only cultural differences that differentiate us. We need to stop all the minor bs, come together and get shit done. This crab in a barrel mentality got us moving mad smh Just my 2 cents
No such thing as crab in a barrel. You not from here.
@@denisebycapricorn if you say so 👍🏿
@@denisebycapricornhe said a positive comment and that's all that you can respond damn you guys are so f****** miserable😅

I realized that, all of this is just an excuse for them to hate people.
Anyone claiming that Hip Hop is a culture. It isn’t. Hip Hop is a subculture, that is predominantly African American, involving cults (gangs), involving ritualised initiation, which always involve some form of violence as entry, and it’s subculture is in favour of the usage or distribution of drugs, extortion, prostitution, and anything illegal. Self degradation of themselves and the depopulation it’s own ethnic neighbours. Yes I’m typing in UK Eng. but I am A Floridian/North Carolinian Native Haitian-American. It is what it is. Some of us are worthy and most of us are not. The ones who are don’t waste time talking about this subject publicly, the African Americans here as well as some Caribbeans have made their bed, and they will lie in it alone. I’m not taking up for anyone, of ANY ethnic background.
I love this conversation we need more of them. Jamaicans will always stand with black Americans, because we see the injustice against you there. Some of us go there and experience it ourselves, you'll always be welcomed here regardless of what you think of us. In fact, we've always been standing with you ever since we met. There should never be any misunderstandings between us, that would be stupid. We're all about progression and if you understand that we'll get along fine. The only thing I'd debate against when it comes to African Americans is the history of Liberia, but to some degree I understand that they couldn't go back to a life of tribalism after facing the full brunt of inhumanity. However, it concerns me how flawlessly they adopted the mentality of the colonizers, the oppressed became the oppressors. I'm not a fan of tribalism, but there must have been a better way to handle that situation. Regardless, if you ever need support, know that we'll always stand against injustice. 🇯🇲✊🏾🇺🇲

Meanwhile they are the first ones to spit in Caribbeans faces when we get America. Stop trying to kiss a**
we been fans from jump and we always try and be friends. brother there are uncomfortable truths to be told here on both our sides. Jamaicans go to america for a better life. Our livable wage is an embarrassment we all know our shortcomings and own up to them to the point of looking like we hate jamaica. But black americans got to own there shit too. most of these here on the panel are young . I've been travelling since primary school. Alot of these stereotypes used to true. The younger generation has turned that around but it wasnt always what they know it to be today.
They also got to understand that Jamaican people dont have a safety net so we naturally push harder and talking bout we get favoured for housing when come here is bollocks. I have rarely sen even upper middle class jamaicans come and buy houses. They live in the same complexes and even section 8 housing with the black americans. we were their neighbours.
@@kenzo7513 Where do you guys live because.I live in South Florida.We have large black middle class population which includes black Americans and black Carribean.We aren't living in projects.Also, here in Florida black American and black Carribean get along just fine.I haven't met many African people and based off what I seen I don't want to get to know the Africans.They disrespect the Carribean British in England and they disrespect the Black Americans in the USA.My brother in law is British Jamaican and he says the Africans hated the Carribean people in England.
@@blessedbeauty5411 i didnt mean all of us😅😅, but my point was we living in the same neibourhoods they are when we newly arrive here.. she was saying we were getting special housing over african americans when we first come to america and this is not true. a lot people i know dont land in the middle class when they come to south florida even when they are of means in jamaica . thats my point.
Us blacks, African Americans wear our culture. We woke up like this. Black girl magic
The Native Americans receive the most government assistance.
It's their country they are still pressed
African and west Indians need to respect Black Americans. IM Uk Black the truth is truth. Outside you think people looking at us different totally stupid to look sideways on a set of people that been done dirty by the same folk actually it shows how much knowledge we have not learned.
I’m Afro Caribbean and I’m not African
When I saw a black American girl in university doing a foreign exchange program from America to the US I wanted to befriend her because I really wanted to know American culture. Anyway she would give me e look that white people give blacks. Lmao I was confused however when she was with white British people she would simp nd almost beg for friendship. However when I met black British people, I never felt judged they were welcoming. Made genuine friendship. I feel American black or white have a superior complex, and now the rest of the world is not interested or buying the cap. I feel black Americans r confused why Africans have decided to embrace their culture be proud and not want to follow their culture or strange behaviours
You are right, they low key think lowly of us. But we have evolved past their stagnant culture. We are popping now and they can't have it. The secret is to know our worth as Africans and forget this African Americans, they can't be trusted.
@RinaLina don’t y’all eat possums and pig feet down south ? 🤣
STRAIGHT FACTS!! They're mad Africans ain't kissing their ass.
Are you dark-skinned? That's probably why she didn't gravitate towards you because they're obsessed with anything that is mixed or mixed looking. So if you were lighter-skinned she would have broke her neck to accommodate for you
How do you say "cap" in your native tongue?
Yes, I am an African and have Carribbean and Black American friends. We have a lot in common especially with the Black Caribbeans in culture and needs;ie hair care and skin care products,food,values and norms. For instance,my Trinidad and Tobago friend's physique looks exactly like a Ghanaian's.
Trinidad is an extremely mixed country guy
If you are going to talk about a foreign country, get your facts straight. Lots of misinformation.
Stockley Carmichael aka Kwame Ture was Trini. Malcolm X was of Grenadian parents, So what are you talking about! Shirley Chisholm was of Barbadian parents.
Our Malcolm X 's father was from Georgia; he was an American Negro. It was his mother who was from the Caribbean.

This debate needs a born/raised Caribbean person. Those girls are pure black Americans.
I know right. That "Jamaican" girl doesn't know our history to dispell the American gibberish. Lol. Marcus Garvey was there before Rosa Parks, MLK and MalcolmX. Clive Campbell, a Jamaican, started hip Hop "their culture". Caribbean slaves were emancipated before American slaves. Alot of revolts were lead by Caribs and Maroons.
@@paradisesunprincess it’s deeply disturbing how uneducated you are. Garvey was a fraud, a tool used by the us government that died in England far away from Jamaica. We have our own hero’s.
Yeah man they mix in with us and have these anti black views
Pure Black Americans? What is that? And would a Caribbean let a Black American come to their country and talk shit to and about them or their people in their own home? Case tested.
Garvey was not a major leader for us. Many Caribbean people act as if though they came here and freed us and it’s simply not true. It’s like when they claim Malcom to be Caribbean, as if he doesn’t have a Black American father. When you come to other peoples home and talk I’ll of them while simultaneously benefitting from them it is a karmic price to pay. In your case, it is your current recolonization.
"My boyfriend is Nigerian, his mindset is me, my family that's it" ... nah... he just trying to tell you he's going to control what he CAN control. So your mindset of "my people" what does that actually mean - like what action are you taking? You're boyfriend understand that if he stack, he has more OPTIONS to help all his people. First things first. But I'm sure you not turning down no nice gifts 🤣🤣
The point of that comment, was to show how the mindset is different. I’m not doing what I do today just to help my family . I’m in it to help my lineage and generations to come.
