@@JACK-OMARI Hey now, peace to ya'll in SA, I personally get alot of luv from the SA brothas and sistas that I correspond with online. I also plan to visit there in the near future. Most Black Americans have historically considerd all Black people no matter where they were from to be our people, but what many of us have recently learned is that many of the Black immigrants have no desire to even associate with us and some quite frankly hate our guts. I'm not saying this as a plea, I'm just informing you to address your questions...
As an African, Akon is more African American than he is African. I've heard African Americans talk badly about Africans and others about African Americans. I've also heard African talk bad about Africans. We are the only race that does this to their cousins across the ocean, Asian Americans don't do this to each other. Who bewitched us?
Our known history of slavery bewitched us and it could be the reason why we are the most disrespected in the world and also by each other...A quote from Chris Rock ..Black people don't like black people..We have pockets of black people who like black people ...
The swagger of America BP is being recycled everywhere else. Even many of the ideas and innovations benefits them. Let's speak on music stage and dance: there is a lot that came over from the journey but all must also acknowledge that fads change and we turn it up in word-play, cadences, arrangements, dance, MCing, Slang/Ebonics, attire, and the list goes on. This isn't just hip-hop but all genres of entertainment we touch. Trust we have respect for the motherland enriched or not. BP over the world need to not let WP's influence twist their tongue when speaking on each other.
Not just entertainment everything from the traffic light to the cell phone gas mask cotton gin plane and helicopter engine we are! Black wall street integration messed us up!
Hip-hop originated in NYC, which was full of immigrants. I think hip-hop specifically would not have come about without that the cultural exchange between African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans and Afro-Latinos. It's true, however, that African Americans have made tremendous contributions to the world.

@@AmericanAfrikan-BurkinaFaso name calling? Its not us who have specific ethnic slurs for africans. But they have em for us like akata jareer abd etc. So why are yall acting like its black americans fault? All we did was acknowledge our lineage proudly. Then africans came out the woodwork telling us we were slaves who have no culture etc. Yet they dont get made when Caribbeans acknowledge there particular lineage. So this hatred they have is specifically for us because they are jealous i think.
Now I do agree with you on this one. Lying to disparage someone or a whole people is far too petty and there should be ramifications for him back here in his homeland.
Because Us Black Americans are the blueprint worldwide, (we didn’t choose to be) our culture has become a trend that people feel like, ooh let me try that too. Then they try to compete. It’s not about that. Our culture didn’t consist of us watching others and trying to do it better, it’s the lemons that we turned into lemonade. Now everyone wants a sip. Our culture was how we rap battled on the streets, made up dances everytime we get with our cousins, Wild n’ out show was literally how we played. white people exploited our lives on tv. For free. Now it’s a worldwide trend. They forget they actually have culture, tradition customs, ours were beaten out of us. We will never know our original culture and language. This is all we have. The fact that Akon has culture but chose to rep ours speaks volumes. We always felt like everything’s better in the motherland, never hated. So for Akon to say “we do it better” is crazy and hurtful, cause we are being raped by everyone. He literally used and raped our culture, left and shitted on us. He never understood/innerstood us if he can feel like that. They see our lives as a trend, our walk our talk. To us this is just us. Not one person in our community asked or begged anyone to come be apart of us y’all just came without an invitation and sat yourselves at our dinner table. Ate most of the food, took a plate home, tried to cook it yourselves, then said our food is nasty yours is better. Like literally.
I was born and raised in Africa. I have never been proud of any group of people more than I'm of African Americans. The biggest mistake Europeans made, was as they hand-picked the Best of Africa which is African Americans. We knew that 100% they will survive. African people are with you. Without African Americans, Africa will be nothing. today. My sister, your comments are as equally bad as Akon. Let's love and support each other.
He is! and people are falling into this trap 🤦🏿♂️ it's honestly so frustrating and tiring. I can't take another AA, African diaspora, Continental African war after the ones that are raging on in tik-tok😩 at this point the yt man is just sitting back enjoying our disunity, some of our people are making it so easy for them with this nonsensical fighting😞
I totally agree with you, it’s a never ending cycle of petty back a forth at the end of the day each side is guilty of saying ignorant things those that’s engage in it should get reproached and we continue as normal any silly comment gets blown up in major news 🤣
@@FBA_God_Emperor_Doomjamal, nobody claimed you. its not your kind we want in Africa with no passport and felony records. We like the positive AA's with good spirit, educated, open minded and happy to explore the world. Like this brother sbove you typing. Decent dude.
I just to say that I’m quite tired of the division between the black diaspora. Akon just may it clear that our African Brothers and Sisters will put all of us down just to get ahead. The same thinking that promoted the slave trade and Willie Lench thinking 😢
Stop yourself ✋🏿 So over 1 billion plus people are going to “betray” Black Americans in your opinion? Akon is a puppet used by non Africans to betray Africans. Anyone ever wandered about his solar energy system or his “Akon city” This 🤡 is being used by non black peoples to create more division and it’s working.
Stop calling us brothers and sisters we are not as long as you keep on calling us tethers we will never be. Attack the person who made the comment but don't generalize.
@@anthoniquesharon1828 that was not an attack it was a comment. From my opinion. You have a right to agree or disagree.

Build your own community and leave Africans alone we have our own problems to deal with.
As a Nigerian American, I always apologize for the comments made by ignorant Africans. Most Africans have "enlightenment" due to the works of African Americans. What we "enjoy" in America is the fruit of the sweat and tears African Americans sacrificed for ALL minorities. We should be grateful to them. But we are arrogant and ignorant.

He never made a good song without the help of African Americans. And all of our dance styles are unique, we never looked at an African and be like hey I wanna copy that dance everyone else is copying us… Literally the entire world.

I think you said it all and said it well , in other words couldn’t have said it better myself even under some delusion I thought I could’ve . B1 . Amin and Shalom .
Truth is we have never really been different our enslaved African ancestors made it a priority to stay as African as they can and teach our African traditions and values as much as possible and many families that stayed together still uphold those traditions and values today. The only reason we're struggling to keep it up is the systemic assault on Black families why we have those problems he tried to shame us about .
He’s not shaming blacks at all. He’s pointing out the problems like other blacks do. He’s talking about the detrimental aspect that affect blacks in America, not shaming.
Please people, don't let this get out of control. We are 1 people. We are family. There is a time and place for a little squabble but let's get it together quickly we have a whole race, a whole continent, to protect and defend and develop and chase the real vultures away from.
Yeah ok just look at history. Only thing in common is skin color and not lineage. Keep dreaming. This same babble has been going on for 100 yrs. We are not the same.
@@latonyanewsome0 about black American Stella got her groove back movie said that aids come from Haiti and what akon said is nothing compare to what people said about a black country
Its true. Black Americans are just different from the blacks in Africa and Caribbean. Their attitudes mannerisms and values are not as good as other blacks. Most of us already know that though.
He is talking truth about the pants sagging down among African Americans. Some African Americans dress that way. However, the quality of talent are different in each nation but African Americans have endless talent that people from every nation and race copy to benefit themselves without giving credit where it is due-all back to African Americans.
With all these foreigners in rap right now..how do u know they're black Americans or foreigners...kodak black,Bobby shmurder,Fabio foreign,blue face,glock 9..Niki Minaj all immigrants..the list goes on...u don't know who's who...yall just like putting all the bull on black Americans
EXACTLY.... THAT SAGGING PANTS CRAP COMES FROM IGNORANT, YOUNG BLAK T R A S H ! BUT AS FAR AS MUSIC GOES.... THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWEEN AMERICAN BLACKS & ANY OTHER RACE ! THE WHITES COME THE CLOSEST, BUT THE AFRICANS ARE NOWHERE NEAR AMERICAN BLACKS IN TERMS OF TALENT ! AFRICAN MUSIC SUCKS !
Talent? As someone who grew up with Motown, Staxx Records... Most of the music played today, particularly hip hop, on corporate radio stations is GARBAGE, Demonically inspired, hypersexualized... The music has been effectively WEAPONIZED and black people don't have a clue....
wow you guys must live in a small closed in environment, if you think Black Hebrew Americans are the only people that sag at the pants, very small minded people like you guys always label its own people or allow other race of people to label us, matter of fact you go to new York, jersey and east coast period a lot of men all races are wearing sagging pants, go to Florida, whites, blacks and Cubas are sagging, go to el Pesco and other small towns in Texas, Mexicans are sagging, in California up to Washington state, everyone is sagging, even police officers in uniforms, so why blame sagging just to label black males, Akon is a fucking nobody yo
Akon is American-African because he is a US citizen born in Missouri... Do what you want and find your own way brothers and sisters. We need to unify and not put each other down...
Young Jeezy ft. Akon - SOUL SURVIVOR @ 3:29 Akon says: "Cause if you lookin' for me you can find me On the block disobeyin' the law Real G, thoroughbred from the streets PANTS SAGGIN with my gun in my drawers." 🤔🤔
no division, but once, we as black Hebrews figure out who we are, it's going to be on and popping, we maybe at the bottom for now, but that time is up😇
Why can't he even have an interview without mentioning AA, there was no reason to even bring us into that conversation. He could have propped up Africans without bringing down AAs.
I was never into any of his music anyhow. Like Demetra said if it wasn't for people here in the United States helping him get to where he is he wouldn't be nothing.
Question: How come we don’t know any African celebrities that are known internationally? The world knows about Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Dionne Warwick, Prince, etc. It sounds like jealousy to me. The black American sets the tone for the world, no matter what industry.
As an ultra indigenous American, I too am offended, I stopped calling my people black but, ultra indigenous. We forged this country, had everything taken from us. This includes our language, culture and our worship,we therefore, had to reinvent ourselves and our way of life. Now, everyone wants to be like us, flattering but annoying at the same time. My gripe with us is self esteem and self hate, we took nothing and made it something, who in history has done this?,and not just once. I'm proud to be who I am, not proud of how easy it is for some of us to sell ourselves to the highest bidders, but we need some change and deleting each other is not the answer, whether it's verbally, physically and any other way known to be. He's not the only one who's done this, there's others and it's not just this continent. Before it's too late, wake up indigenous people, the time is coming and you must be ready.
B.s. but even if that is true Black Americans don't go to Africa and get rich from Africa ppl's culture, then turn around and "talk greasy about the Africans" who have allowed them into their culture and gave them the ability to put food on the table.... You talking rubbish dude
The so-called blacks in America are the most talented, the most gifted because we are the children of light, the true hebrews , the chosen people of the most high god .the children of Israel, God’s chosen people. So what is he talking about?
Comparison is unnecessary. African music & art is different from other African Diaspora in USA, Caribbean or Brazilian. Akon should have stated the issue of saggy pants which most African Americans detest. Stage presence? How? W. Africans do it differently from E. Africans. Not well articulated. Division & mudslinging not needed.
Africans aren't even semi close to being as talented as FBA , I'll get into it and it's a Fact, Get on you tube and watch Wilson Pickett and James Brown concerts in Africa, the American Black man and woman has be the most imitated on the planet and has been for decades, Jazz, Blues, Rap, R&B, Rock,Soul, Fashion ! Africa ain't even in the conversation unless we Black Americans say so !
It's the other way around, we did not get anything from Aa's. We are the authentic product of fashion and swag. If you want to learn about Africa go there. Get off the screen people. Damn, people are ignorant of African swag.
His words, while hurtful, aren’t necessarily off kilter. Folks we have got to stop the emotional, ant-truth acceptance of realities. With my background I have extensive research and activities with both sides and both unquestionably have problems. But keeping with what he said he has a point which can’t be denied.
Then he needs to worry about their problems and keep is out of his mouth. If I start naming all the problems with africans people would get offended so I mind my business and let them do them, he needs to do the same.
@@FBA_God_Emperor_Doom I wouldn’t, I’ll agree because we don’t like ignoring our problems. That’s why other people see us finish, because we open our linens for everyone to see rather than denying it. Yes, I agree we have a lot of problems in Africa, which we need to solve and focus on. Don’t use one Africa America person to generalise everyone. Also, you wouldn’t want me to use one FBA person to general all. Also, Akon isn’t lying, he’s definitely saying the truth, because everyone can see it except for the FBA’s.
I find it ironic….that most Black Americans posting here, find what Akon said, about today’s Black American music artists, very insensitive and hurtful-but they can “tolerate”, the disrespectful words spewing, from these same artist’s mouths! He was telling the truth-no apologies needed!
@@melvinlittle9616 Exactly! What Akon said about black artists is the truth. When I see this artists singing about black women in a sexualised, derogatory manner, I feel disgusted. Also this artist promote violence, thuggish lifestyles and behaviours that causes detriment to the youths lives, encouraging them that been bad is cool. This needs to stop, they can’t continue to corrupt the minds of the youths, it’s getting too much. Also, I notice it’s only black and African artists that don’t support their own especially the upcoming ones. They try to pull down the upcoming artists, while the ones that have succeeded and what to help the community, they assassinate or form gangs to rob him(as if they feel threatened of his wealth and progress), when he definitely want to help the community.
All I’m going to say is pot calling the kettle black. Been listening & hearing what black Americans say about other blacks (particularly blacks from the Caribbean, UK and Africa) living in America, and it isn’t nice.
Exactly. Blacks Americans do say degrading statements about people from Africa, and Caribbean countries as well, and when it's throw back at them, they'll all scream racism, or jealousy, and hatred that they claim we have towards them. When they do that to Africans and Caribbeans, it's okay, but to FBA'S is not, let it make sense.
OKAY Akon. What about the little grade school kids in Africa who get up going out and beg from everybody. They domt sound like they're doing much to me. Not even in school. Quit hatin Akon.
My mother use to say something like that. She would say. The people that you see going up. Are the same people you see going down. And this is what I say. The people who do disrespect on way down will always be down if they need my help going up again. Because I won’t be there to help.

I'm not saying this as a plea, I'm just informing you to address your questions...
My favorite Black channels: African Diaspora News Channel, Stock Brotha, & GoBlack2Africa.
As an African, Akon is more African American than he is African. I've heard African Americans talk badly about Africans and others about African Americans. I've also heard African talk bad about Africans. We are the only race that does this to their cousins across the ocean, Asian Americans don't do this to each other. Who bewitched us?
💯
What is African American besides an apolitical term created to undermine FBA Aboriginals?
Actually they do do it to each other also it’s just not on social media like us 🤷🏽♀️
@@mermaid30019 asians too busy dominating lol
Our known history of slavery bewitched us and it could be the reason why we are the most disrespected in the world and also by each other...A quote from Chris Rock ..Black people don't like black people..We have pockets of black people who like black people ...
I know very little about this man (Akon), and I’m pleased that he means nothing to us.
Stop lying to yourself bro
Nah, you know him ... 😂
AKON… is officially off my radar. Akon who??
The swagger of America BP is being recycled everywhere else. Even many of the ideas and innovations benefits them. Let's speak on music stage and dance: there is a lot that came over from the journey but all must also acknowledge that fads change and we turn it up in word-play, cadences, arrangements, dance, MCing, Slang/Ebonics, attire, and the list goes on. This isn't just hip-hop but all genres of entertainment we touch. Trust we have respect for the motherland enriched or not. BP over the world need to not let WP's influence twist their tongue when speaking on each other.
Not just entertainment everything from the traffic light to the cell phone gas mask cotton gin plane and helicopter engine we are! Black wall street integration messed us up!
@@isaiahkenny3544 Trust I'm with you on inventions, the red-tape ones they didn't let BP clear but allowed WP, and the flat out stolen inventions.
Hip-hop originated in NYC, which was full of immigrants. I think hip-hop specifically would not have come about without that the cultural exchange between African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans and Afro-Latinos.
It's true, however, that African Americans have made tremendous contributions to the world.

Because Us Black Americans are the blueprint worldwide, (we didn’t choose to be) our culture has become a trend that people feel like, ooh let me try that too. Then they try to compete. It’s not about that. Our culture didn’t consist of us watching others and trying to do it better, it’s the lemons that we turned into lemonade. Now everyone wants a sip.
Our culture was how we rap battled on the streets, made up dances everytime we get with our cousins, Wild n’ out show was literally how we played. white people exploited our lives on tv. For free. Now it’s a worldwide trend.
They forget they actually have culture, tradition customs, ours were beaten out of us. We will never know our original culture and language. This is all we have. The fact that Akon has culture but chose to rep ours speaks volumes. We always felt like everything’s better in the motherland, never hated.
So for Akon to say “we do it better” is crazy and hurtful, cause we are being raped by everyone. He literally used and raped our culture, left and shitted on us. He never understood/innerstood us if he can feel like that.
They see our lives as a trend, our walk our talk. To us this is just us. Not one person in our community asked or begged anyone to come be apart of us y’all just came without an invitation and sat yourselves at our dinner table. Ate most of the food, took a plate home, tried to cook it yourselves, then said our food is nasty yours is better. Like literally.
🥺🥺🥺👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 SALUTE!

Adrianna , you are so-so correct
I was born and raised in Africa. I have never been proud of any group of people more than I'm of African Americans. The biggest mistake Europeans made, was as they hand-picked the Best of Africa which is African Americans. We knew that 100% they will survive. African people are with you. Without African Americans, Africa will be nothing. today. My sister, your comments are as equally bad as Akon. Let's love and support each other.
Akon is trying to divide us. That's not true, we need to gather to be strong 🙏🏾
We were never together. There is nothing to divide.

As a Nigerian American, I always apologize for the comments made by ignorant Africans. Most Africans have "enlightenment" due to the works of African Americans.

Truth is we have never really been different our enslaved African ancestors made it a priority to stay as African as they can and teach our African traditions and values as much as possible and many families that stayed together still uphold those traditions and values today. The only reason we're struggling to keep it up is the systemic assault on Black families why we have those problems he tried to shame us about .
He’s not shaming blacks at all. He’s pointing out the problems like other blacks do. He’s talking about the detrimental aspect that affect blacks in America, not shaming.
Akon is not wrong, as far as TODAY is concerned black American musically ain’t looking too good!!

As an ultra indigenous American, I too am offended, I stopped calling my people black but, ultra indigenous. We forged this country, had everything taken from us. This includes our language, culture and our worship,we therefore, had to reinvent ourselves and our way of life. Now, everyone wants to be like us, flattering but annoying at the same time. My gripe with us is self esteem and self hate, we took nothing and made it something, who in history has done this?,and not just once. I'm proud to be who I am, not proud of how easy it is for some of us to sell ourselves to the highest bidders, but we need some change and deleting each other is not the answer, whether it's verbally, physically and any other way known to be. He's not the only one who's done this, there's others and it's not just this continent. Before it's too late, wake up indigenous people, the time is coming and you must be ready.

I find it ironic….that most Black Americans posting here, find what Akon said, about today’s Black American music artists, very insensitive and hurtful-but they can “tolerate”, the disrespectful words spewing, from these same artist’s mouths! He was telling the truth-no apologies needed!
@@melvinlittle9616 Exactly! What Akon said about black artists is the truth. When I see this artists singing about black women in a sexualised, derogatory manner, I feel disgusted. Also this artist promote violence, thuggish lifestyles and behaviours that causes detriment to the youths lives, encouraging them that been bad is cool. This needs to stop, they can’t continue to corrupt the minds of the youths, it’s getting too much. Also, I notice it’s only black and African artists that don’t support their own especially the upcoming ones. They try to pull down the upcoming artists, while the ones that have succeeded and what to help the community, they assassinate or form gangs to rob him(as if they feel threatened of his wealth and progress), when he definitely want to help the community.
All I’m going to say is pot calling the kettle black. Been listening & hearing what black Americans say about other blacks (particularly blacks from the Caribbean, UK and Africa) living in America, and it isn’t nice.
Exactly. Blacks Americans do say degrading statements about people from Africa, and Caribbean countries as well, and when it's throw back at them, they'll all scream racism, or jealousy, and hatred that they claim we have towards them. When they do that to Africans and Caribbeans, it's okay, but to FBA'S is not, let it make sense.
Well, he’s right…when we visit Africa as so called AA, we are considered foreigners.
*I think Akon is also referring to today’s rap music.
