In self denial.
Well said!
Well, I did take the African ancestry dna test as well as the Ancestry admixture dna test and the majority of my dna is smack dab in west Africa, a little in East Africa as well percentages in Europe. I’m proud of my African Ancestry. Those people that say that crap are demented to me. In fact while I was waiting for the results from my African Ancestry test, I had a conversation with an African man from Mali, I believe but anyway every time he see me he would how much I looked like someone he knew in Mali, he was astonished, long story short I told him I was waiting for my dna test results to let me which tribe I share dna with, so he responded and said that he was almost 💯% sure I shared ancestry with the Fulani, I got my results back and boom Fulani along with two more ethnic tribes. He was absolutely correct.
Fulani are Hamites....l think they are in control of the government in Nigeria... Nigerians don't like them... Hamites are the ones who captured and sold us to the Arabs and Europeans!
@@pete2814 I know that. Well somehow they got captured too. That’s why I don’t like telling people that the Fulani are one of my dna matches, especially an African born on the continent.
@@amandaeguale1641 Amanda I stated in my comment that I took the African Ancestry test, matter of fact I took the African Ancestry test before I took test from Ancestry.

Truth that is why my people need to stop believing the white man's story that we come from Africa or are african. The africans need to stop participating in the lie as well. Do you really think we can not look at you and tell we are different people.
Just because many of us weren't born on the African continent, it does not mean that's not who we are. The West African DNA is still in us. We have to re-learn who we really, we have been disconnected from Africa
It's not only West Africa but the entire continent.Blacks were picked from all over Africa and taken to West Africa for shipment to the Americas.
@@kennedychibesakunda1498 Yes, but it was primarily West Africa. The evidence is directly linked to that part of the continent
@@cutime6712 who should give you the evidence when we have all the evidence?
So glad my people know they are not african this is nonsense.
Most Native Americans, if living in Britain today, would be
regarded as being "black," especially if their ancestry were not known.
"Negro" was also used in a general way in the North American
colonies. Some examples illustrate the use of "negro" and "black" as
applied to people of American ancestry.
In 1619 some twenty "negroes" were brought to Virginia. At least
eleven have names of Spanish or probably Spanish character. Later
they were joined by "negroes" and "mulattoes" with names such as
Antonio (several) and John Pedro.
In 1670 the population of the Virginia colony was said to be 40,000
including 2,000 "black slaves." Evidence indicates that there could
not have been that many Africans there and also that there were a
great many American slaves or servants. Thus the total of "blacks"
must have included a good many Americans.
In 1698 three fugitive "negroes" were reported in North Carolina, of
whom one was an American. 12 Similarly, a list of"N egroes" imported
into Virginia, 1 710-1718, by sea includes at least sixty-nine "Indians,"
mostly from the Carolinas. Likewise, lists of "N egroes" brought into
New York from 1 715 to 1736 include many slaves of probable (or
stated) American ancestry from Campeche, Jamaica, Honduras, the
Carolinas, and Virginia.
Young was anxious to prove that the so-called "Black" Caribs were
not true aborigines but were in fact "N egro colonists, Free Negroes, or
Negro usurpers." This was important to him because he wanted to
show they had no bonafide land-rights or aboriginal title.
@@kennedychibesakunda1498bro it’s not the entire continent it was only west and central Africa that is the problem with you African Americans you guys think the whole continent is related to you just because we have the same skin color.First of all slavery was not all overs Africa for one the only reason why it occurred in central and west Africa is because they wanted to take your ancestors to the new world which now called the “west”.its funny because you African Americans think that everyone in the continent is related to you just because we have the same skin color NORTH AND EAST AFRICANS ARE DEFINITELY NOT RELATED TO ANY OF YALL😂
My mom, myself & my children have 0% Native American ancestry....when I went to the Gambia & Senegal, I knew they were my people!! I could feel it ❤❤❤

Jay ! As a Nigerian, I have to respect your courage and audacity!!
Really and Truly, blood is thicker than water!
It’s not just you alone, a great number of African Americans look a great deal like Nigerians!
The face, the skin tone, the walking gait , the body builds and much more!
I myself can’t understand why any African American would think they were indigenous native Americans!
The reason the enslaved Black population was cowered through slavery in America, was because they were DISPLACED from their homeland in Africa!
That was why colonisation was a different ballgame, because the whites were on our turf , this time around!
We were able to confront them with our culture and traditions, alongside imbibing their education as weapons!
Throughout the entire period of the ghastly so called slave trade, there were multiple slave revolts all across North and South America and the Caribbean !
For the majority of slave holders, it was a constant worry!
But sadly, the revolting slaves, even when they escaped slavery, couldn’t ever return back to Africa!
So those who claim kinship to native America do themselves ( and all Black people) a huge disservice!
How can you be usurped and enslaved by foreign white invaders in your “own country”?
They sell themselves short as a really inferior race by claiming to be indigenous to America!
Like I say, blood is thicker than water!!
I know a few Nigerians living here in Trinidad and unless they told you, there is no way you can tell.
@@fitawrarifitness6842 Very very true !
Question is those who claim they aren't or have no African roots.. Should they get reparation? We know descendants of slave should be the one getting reparations and we know slaves were Africans. This means indigenous black Americans should not claim reparations because they were not slaves. Is there any sources out here that indigenous people were enslaved for labor?
Most slaves who went to Trinidad during the days of slavery where from
the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria and Yoruba religion Orisha was secretly
practice during slavery and is widely practice today all over Trinidad. Check
TH-cam video "Feast at Ojubo Orisa Omolu 2020" and also check one
of Trinidad best Orisha male singers Keron Keith TH-cam
Video "Baba Ogun Clear Our Pathway". During the Atlantic Slave Trade
slaves went to all over the Americas South America,Central America ,
North America and Caribbean. If Trinidad, Cuba and Brazil could secretly
maintain Yoruba religion and culture African Americans could have maintain this religion and culture if it was not outlawed because many
Yorubas went to USA during slavery
@@davidcomma1930 Yes you are right David, except for one thing!!
The Nigerians and other Africans didn’t “went” to Trinidad or anywhere else in the so called new world 🌎!
They were kidnapped, abducted, sold into slavery and transported to the Americas!
Just saying!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬.
Thank you so much for the knowledge. I'm gonna find out for myself, because I want to know
Appreciate you champ be safe.
"The Chinese people are Chinese everywhere, African people are different people everywhere"
A lot of us are lost. Trust me 200 years from now when we are all gone I would not be surprised if some descendants of Africans who are voluntarily leaving the continent now will also be claiming they have nothing to do with Africa. Lots of Africans go overseas and actually take pride in not speaking our African local languages any more. This whole conversation is deep but I have to agree it all stems from slavery and colonization and how some of us try as hard as possible to run away from anything African. Contrast that with the Boers who try so hard to put a narrative out there that they have equal claim to South Africa as the indigenous people so they can feel comfortable retaining land and all sorts of economic levers.
Though Boers claim to be native to Africa, they never denied their European roots. I'm yet to meet a Boer who say he's not European.
@@eberhard1991 true, they know their roots and that's what makes them strong and united.
@@luckymotlatla8956 yes and unfortunately the Boers justify their rights to land in South Africa by claiming that the land was empty when they landed in 1652 despite scientific evidence to the contrary.
This isn't exactly correct. In Africa, there's this perception that the West is a haven. At first, yes, some might feel that but after living next to white people long enough, that perception quickly changes when the reality starts dawning.
I met a lot of fellow Africans in Europe am yet to meet one that intends on dying here. The plan is, as per usual, get an education/money and build back in Africa and return.
To expand on this, we've seen studies of black people's wellbeing and mental health deteriorating the closer they live to white people. Stress related diseases go up tenfold for black people. Both for Africans moving 'abroad' and black people leaving the 'hood' to live in the supposedly better white 'affluent' communities.
In conclusion, your story is incomplete because it doesn't tell the whole truth, and yes, I'm African born and bred.
@@quietatse It is not a story just reality, and my own theory based on extrapolation of what I see and experience. I live in the US so I can speak more of the US.
You tell me people don't want to die in Europe. Wishing not to die and actually dying there is two different things.
Another thing since I was speaking of children of African diaspora. You have to realize an immigrant born on the continent of Africa will have more love or grow to appreciate Africa more due to having experienced both. The kids born in the diaspora do not have that frame of reference and will tend to thing it is just what it is kind of like how Americans who have never travelled abroad will always think the US is the best place to live.
Are you suggesting the majority of kids born in Europe to African immigrants are dying to go back to Africa. I dont believe you if thats your premise.
I have seen plenty kids born to African immigrants who want nothing to do with their parents native languages. So how exactly, will they go back when they shun their own languages.
You are more optimistic than I am. And do not forget a lot of African immigrants that are crossing through the sea will probably never be financially stable to afford to relocate back. I have seen documentaries of fellow Africans picking tomatoes and other fruit in Europe living in squalor and getting a pittance.
I agree with you that the stress levels are huge in the West. But if people do not save the financial resources needed to go back they never will.
I will leave you with this story. Recently there were 2 victims of an accident that died in Zimbabwe my home country. They were Zimbabweans who live in the UK and on vacation visiting relatives. The bodies were repatriated back to the United Kingdom because that is where most of the loved ones were and that is what their family decided.

Hey. I swear we be watching the same videos. Lol.
thats the whole reason why. really indian is a southern white euphemism for mulattos and quadroons. so fools saying they're proud indians don't know what they're really saying. its all connected to the whore-balls that white men had with african women and mainly with the mixed offspring of the grape of said women. offspring that has been raised to serve and desire white men. this sort of thing continues in some southern black families and bdsm circles. the layman wouldn't know though.

Great job Jay. I've been watching your videos for about a month now but only just subscribed today halfway into this video. It is heartbreaking that in 2022, a good majority of people are still so blinded to the truth. Just proves that mental enslavement is actually much stronger and worse than its physical cousin. As the late Bob Marley sang, emancipation from that mindset can/will ONLY come from ourselves. No one's going to do it for us. The American system that we live in is set up to keep us that way - from knowing and embracing who we truly are. Sad that neo-coloniasm is very much alive and well and doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon.

The reclassified Negroes were not used as the "american Indian" genetic marker. It's not the science, it's the INITIAL LABELING that is inaccurate.

It's a no brainer , a lot of AAs look very West African especially around SW, SS and SE Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Benin and Ghana. Just all across West Africa really.
However if the specific 'tribe' or region is required then a DNA test may help.
The whole FBA ADos situation is just hilarious.🤣🤣🤣 It's a retrograde step.

Africa is rising indeed, but for whom is the question?
I notice that there's a focus on "who am I?", when a more useful focus is "what am I?. A VERY limiting question is already answered by the question, a more needed answer is what, not who.

As a South African. I've had a fair share of personal interaction with black Americans in South Africa. Everything from our spirit to spirit, soul to soul and just the perspective about our pain, our struggle, our resolve and our mission, we just became one. I have brothers and sisters from way back at University of the Witwatersrand. We were so connected and that I liked. We had basket ball stars visiting Wits because of our strong Basket ball community and I was a report for the sports section for our campus radio, VOW FM. It was crazy that those high profile guys were so easy to talk to, access and everything.
So in as much as our brothers and sisters were sold into that world but the Africa in them is still with them. I mean we have so much mutual respect and life exchange with them. For us South Africans, US Black folks were very close to us. They gave us hope to watch and see. We in the South don't play. You fuck with us, we will fight you to hell and back.
We don't run away from out country to be bruden to other people's counties. We fight anyone and everyone.
American blacks are African in ways that are very spiritual and at soul level. I get emotional in this topic and I'm in the office and I'm crying.
When you guys come to Africa and you join with us, I literally can see the mother whose young son and daughter was snatched for the slave ship. The father and uncles whose people were stolen and couldn't protect them. When you come back you complete the puzzle. We've never been complete as a people without you. Africa bled then, bleed now and return sons of the soil and daughters of the soil. Take the spoils abd treasures in the land of captivity and come back home..
Yes they are Africans but they are no way close to Africans from up East Africa down to the tip of South Africa.
Yea, halleluYah & amen! I totally agree with you be4loved! Watching from the wildes of Amerikkka. Shalom fam!
@@blessedhonored3363 yes they are, what are you talking about?
@@molefemokhine9557 We different in many ways Features, demeanor etc. They can attest to this too. That's what I'm talking about.
@@blessedhonored3363
Then explain why so many AA's who come here to SA looks similar to South Africans and vice versa
You are spot on, all of these alternative origins theories are more confusing than someone who wakes up suddenly in a place that they didn't fall asleep in. What's more, they gather up their so called, "proven", evidence and try to organize it in a book or a video, I am exhausted trying to keep up with these, 'we are the original, this and that people", people. reminds me of a quote another youtuber made, (Keana Marie), Just be black and be proud to be black, they don't claim you so why you claimin' them".
Jay proud to have you back home. And we are proud to be Africans . Some African Americans can decide to be Asians, but who cares? When you know who you are you become complete. Describe yourself in whatever race you want , we Africans don’t give a hook Tell them

Been to Africa what you saying is facts. I was in Nigeria for example and they thought i was Nigerian. Also did DNA same results as you
Thank you for your generosity here brother, I’m not sure I would be so patient with this matter😡.
The only reason Blacks (Otherwise known as Africans🤣) or Nig@&s as they like to refer themselves in the US say ‘I’m not from Africa’, is because they are racist (believe in white supremacy) and see Africa as primitive. Dr John Henrick Clarke. Ivan Van Certima. Dr Ben and many more dedicated scholars have addressed this issue with facts, dates, times and places. Which means that those who still speak with the white mans tongue, are ignorant and not worth listening to. We have the same issue with some of our people in Jamaica 🇯🇲. These false notions of not being African or being part of the African family are what we get when the slave owners also own the school and set the curriculum. Africa for Africans home and abroad. Jah live ✊🏾
You are so right!! Some black americans are running from amerikkkq straight to europe like dummies. They hate themselves and think ytness is superior
So glad my people know they are not african this is nonsense.
Most Native Americans, if living in Britain today, would be
regarded as being "black," especially if their ancestry were not known.
"Negro" was also used in a general way in the North American
colonies. Some examples illustrate the use of "negro" and "black" as
applied to people of American ancestry.
In 1619 some twenty "negroes" were brought to Virginia. At least
eleven have names of Spanish or probably Spanish character. Later
they were joined by "negroes" and "mulattoes" with names such as
Antonio (several) and John Pedro.
In 1670 the population of the Virginia colony was said to be 40,000
including 2,000 "black slaves." Evidence indicates that there could
not have been that many Africans there and also that there were a
great many American slaves or servants. Thus the total of "blacks"
must have included a good many Americans.
In 1698 three fugitive "negroes" were reported in North Carolina, of
whom one was an American. 12 Similarly, a list of"N egroes" imported
into Virginia, 1 710-1718, by sea includes at least sixty-nine "Indians,"
mostly from the Carolinas. Likewise, lists of "N egroes" brought into
New York from 1 715 to 1736 include many slaves of probable (or
stated) American ancestry from Campeche, Jamaica, Honduras, the
Carolinas, and Virginia.
Young was anxious to prove that the so-called "Black" Caribs were
not true aborigines but were in fact "N egro colonists, Free Negroes, or
Negro usurpers." This was important to him because he wanted to
show they had no bonafide land-rights or aboriginal title.

Thanks Jay. I have always been perplexed when I hear some of the arguments from some people that you talked about when I can look at some of them and use their physical attributes to estimate the part of West Africa their ancestors must have come from. Self hatred is the highest form of indoctrination
Did you do African Ancestry DNA? Accordingly to them they can show you can trace your tribe/ethnic/people groups.
Yes I did them as well. That’s how I got my dual citizenship in Sierra Leone because it came back Temne people. I also had my fathers sister take the test and it came back Mafa people in Cameroon. My paternal side came back Spain/Portugal
That only represents 1% its not your full Dan
@@jaycameronofficial My maternal line is Temne, also.
@@jungunanta8931 What are you getting at?
If you did your genealogy where did it state you were African? Which country did it say you were from? Or did it say you were colored and negro which are classification for Indians living off the reservation
Be proud my brother, one life to own, understand, and love who you are. If that takes research then, let's research.
What happened to Part Two? Did the brother come back with Mende from Sierra Leone?
Most of my life Africans & Arabs have stopped me and asked me where I was from told me I looked like the women in their counties ..some were West African some East african. I went to Tanzania last October and a number of people thought I was a local Tanzania until I spoke ..then I sometimes got the comment that my English was really good . I was in Bagamoyo in an arti shop the owner kept looking at me ..then said Mama you could live here and Immigration wouldn't bother you. Ive done Ancestry/23 & Me & African Ancestry and all those people were right i do hsve dna from across the continent Including dna from tribes in the areas I was in that people kept thinking I was local to .
Wow amazing 😮 😍😍😍
Come on man the word African-American only came out in the mid 80's 🤦🏾♂️
Exactly.
I truly enjoyed this positive informative video. I have decided to take the dna test but not sure which one would give me the information down to the tribe. I've been told I look Ethiopean and have been adopted by the Fula tribe in Gambia last year so I am truly curious to trace from whence I came. Thank you so much.
Excellent video. I too have been to Africa and it's obvious to me and to the continental Africans that I AM an African descendant. I AM proud of my ancestry and my African ancestry in particular. ✊🏿

As an African brother you are African 100 percent nothing different from you and I one love.
Brother Jay I have not done the DNA test yet. My daughter did and she has West Africa as a result. Nigerians here in the US told me I look like I'm from Igbo tribe. So I need to do that test soon. I want to take a trip to Africa as well.
Many Igbos were taken from the Bight of Biafra (SE Nigeria) to the Americas.
Most AA's look Igbo. A lot of the enslaved were taken from Eastern Nigeria (Bight of Biafra/Igboland). Some famous examples of Igbo's are Nnamdi Asomugha (Kerry Washington's husband), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years A Slave), Osi Umenyiora (former NFL NY Giants) & Lemar Obika (Singer).
@@ckk974 true but these examples you have given are 'direct' ' from Nigeria or have Nigerian parents.
The late American singer Paul Robeson was said to have Igbo ancestry.
I read somewhere that 1 in 6 African Americans have Nigerian ancestry - this is a lot when you consider that people were taken along the African Coast from Senegal right down to Angola.
@@sylviamaua745 The examples are all 100% Igbo with two Igbo parents direct from Nigeria like myself.
@@ckk974 and the London born singer/actress, Cynthia Erivo, is also Igbo. She played Harriet Tubman in the movie "Harriet". The American born actress Uzo Aduba is Igbo as well.
Accurate points. Thank you my brother, and congratulations for making it home to the mother land
You seem very intelligent would love to correspond with somone who can think for themself
You could see the documentary titled bigger than Africa on Netflix, that’s gonna expose you to the right answers to those numerous quest you got , I’m sure you’ll be glad you did and you’ll probably agree with me that Naija is the biblical Tower of Babel .
Great Documentary 👏🏽👏🏽 The lady at the end singing the song. 😭😭
Great. Video. Many trying to steer the narrative about black people in America not being African are opportunist, sowing division. Or agents.
Culturally speaking we are a unique ethnic population as Foundational Black Americans. "The slave code made possible a race of half-breed Indians, and half-breed Negroes"-James Hugo Johnston Jr.(1876-1962) professor of history, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences and Vice President of Virginia State University. The reclassified Negroes were not used as the "american Indian" genetic marker. It's not the science, it's the INITIAL LABELING that is inaccurate. If you were 31/32nd aboriginal American and alleged to be 1/32nd African then you were classed as African/Negro/Mulatto/Colored etc. My question to you is "WHAT WERE THEY CALLED BEFORE THEY GOT RECLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO ONE DROP RULES?"...... ......
When is another trip? I want in!

Do yall know what company did he use for the DNA test
Kudos to you for your great job brother.
“If you know who you are you don’t need any DNA test, sometimes your eyes will suffice. “
Sometimes black people are so happy when they find any other traces of non afrikan ancestry linked to them that immediately they tend to neglect their own afrikan physical appearance.
I remember almost getting in a discussion with a sister from Jamaica in Germany who was mad that afrikans on the streets used the term sister anytime they see her. She reply that she is from Jamaica and had chinese and many other ancestry in her DNA. In respect to her white husband who is a great guy i decided not to inform her that she looked more like someone from Ghana or Nigeria than even me a born afrikan.
Keep doing your great job.
Salute from Guinea Bissau, west Afrika.
The craziest part is these groups xenophobia towards African immigrants in America 😢
Those groups have become more xenophobic than white bigots,they spew so much hate on their social media platforms you will think it’s a Mzungu speaking.
No we just know we are a unique ethnic group and understand the dangers of being lumped in as one as a way to continue the benign neglect policy against Foundational Black Americans. Claud Anderson said we need a detailed study on all of the ways immigration has hurt native black Americans (his term).

This dude is wrong...we were already here. Those DNA test are wrong.keep sending your DNA in the mail to people that you don't know smh...
So if they are native to America and from America what's their native languages and names. In Africa colonisers could never strip us off our native language even though we speak English and French as the official languages.
That's a very good question. Do the FBA and those claiming to be Native American speak the native languages of Navajo and Cherokee ? Did their "ancestors" not pass these and other norms on to them ? Asking for a friend 🤣🤣
I'm scratching my head here
In one of the debate on youtube.... One of them said their native language is American Latin.... And they taught the Whites how to speak English.

What’s Black Americans native African language and names?
"Give a dog a bad name ..." Beloved Africa has been the most denigrated throughout history - the people, their food, knowledge, intellect etc. The only way the continent could be raped was to denigrate it and the biggest number was done on its people - native and the diaspora. Natives hate the continent and want to flee from it to the lands of the colonizers, and the diaspora look upon it as a sick continent filled only with poverty and disease. The work people like you are doing is changing the narrative. It is comparable to the work of the founding fathers who liberated the continent. Well, each to his own. Mother Africa exists in all it's majesty. Love your mama or hate her, she is still majestic.
propchy is happening God is bringing the true exodus africans from the diaspora will return back and they will be the ones to excite change
I'm so proud of you.
respect and greetings from Uganda.
Just want to mention that Africans in america can trace their DNA from Senegal in West Afrika down through the coast in Kongo and Angola and even a bit of DNA from East Afrika Kenya to Mozambique and even South Afrika and not just from Nigeria on west. Central Africa had a large concentration of it's people taken aboard slave ships as well. I definatly suggest visiting the continent even if you don't feel called to stay

@@isaiahmwereru8833 1. Is easily verifiable through DNA tests.
2. Never said it's every Afrikan "American" that can trace their DNA to east Afrika but maybe up to 5%.
3. Also verifiable through physical remnants of euro slave trade on the eastern coast of Afrika at multiple ports (Bagamoyo, Mombasa, Zanzibar, etc.)
4. Other proof available. Even Google will tell you. Go research
@@Your_Brother_Jon bro those eastern slaves ports you are talking about was there for East African slave trade for the Arab countries and European colonizers had no control over those the costal areas because they were mainly controlled by Arabs and those slaves you are talking about did not go in countries to the west because they went to Arabs countries such as Iran,Yemen,Oman and even India but all that stopped when the British had arrived in our country
Those are the same people that are selling the ideology that the earth 🌎 is flat 😂🤣
I love your mind set brother tell some of African in America.
In 1998, I met some guy at Dekalb County auctions and I started speaking igbo to him. At a point, I said to him " what's wrong with you, men?"
I was so surprised when he said he didn't understand anything I said as I had assumed all along he is Igbo. He could have been my cousin. If he visited my village no one would think he was not a native. Only his Accent was different.
How is this still a thing? No we not African at lest most of us of, only 388,000 Africans made it to North America during the slave trade and they didn’t come all at once so who were all these other black people here? 1828 Webster definition of American
When Africans tell you that you’re not African, they aren’t referring to your ethnicity, they mean culturally. I am half Ghanaian but I grew up in the west and because of that, I get called white or not African all the time. It would be like Africans coming to America and trying to blend it culturally. No matter how hard hard we try, we’ll always be culturally “western” and no matter how hard they try, they’ll always be African or have African characteristics
"You're not African because you were born in Africa, but you are African because African was born in you"
