As a Nigerian, i LOVE African Americans. My life is heavily influenced by them🦾. Contrary to what some brothers think, Nigerians love African Americans, we are the same people, we just see things differently sometimes. African Americans “The world civil rights leaders.” Y’all paved the way for a lot of us here in America and we appreciate it🙏🏽
For the record, so we can refer to one another by nation, instead of a general term like African American. Politically, Negro (Black) is Berber (Amazigh), while Biblically, Ham (Black) refers to Africans. Is a successful way of division South Carolina Negro Act of 1740 SECTION 4 The term Negro is confined to slave Africans (The ancient Berbers) and their descendants. It does not embrace the free inhabitants of Africa, such as the Egyptians, Moors, or the Negro Asiatics, such as Lascars.
I am a Freedman, Native Black or FBA(All the Same) and have NO problem with my African brothers and sisters as long as the RESPECT&LOVE is mutual....Black Love Ya'll!
I believe you are genuine and you come with best intentions to your fellow people. However, I have an issue with this mutual respect thing. Remember that respect is earned. Remember that most of you guys served your slavery in the West, most predominantly in the US. So, there are certain dynamics that play themselves here: The West, has always been an enemy of Africa, being led by the country that you come from. One of the countries that are an enemy of our people as Africans. Many of you do not even realize how you hate your own brothers by participating in the armies of those that are hellbent on destroying your own brothers in Africa. So, generally what I am saying is that black Americans should earn the respect of their fellow African brothers, simply because they are participating on our destruction too. I would like to suggest that, based on your love for your fellow African brothers, to start a movement to sensitive your people about the things that they do against us unawares as well as the hatred they meet against us by participating in the armies of our enemies. Gradually they will start to understand and therefore earn our respect. But as of now, there will never be mutual respect until black Americans earn that respect.
There's one thing that differs in Black Americans that separates Africans . Africans have their racial and cultural identities. Black Americans have to make up theirs. that's why you had a majority of Black people thinking that Wauconda was a real place in Africa. What a joke.and that's why you have multiculturalism in America. I have more respect for Africans than I do for any black person that resides in Europe or America
I'm a black American. I thought it was all good until I heard them on clubhouse and Twitter using disparaging names for us in their native languages. As well as stereotypes and tropes they got from the ws. For me you can't sell 13 million people and then come back and play cool
Do you know Africa has 54 countries!? And do you know that almost all 97% of AA ancestors come from west Africa!? Why are you trying to say that all Africans sold their own people? Have heard any black A who his ancestors come from: Angola 🇦🇴 Kenya 🇰🇪 Tanzania 🇹🇿 Zambia 🇿🇲 Malawi 🇲🇼 Botswana 🇧🇼 Swaziland 🇸🇿 South Africa 🇿🇦 Lesotho 🇱🇸 Mozambique 🇲🇿 Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Rwanda 🇷🇼 Burundi 🇧🇮 Uganda 🇺🇬 Namibia 🇳🇦 Madagascar 🇲🇬 Comoros 🇰🇲 …

I appreciated the input from the OG in the Cavs hat. I also like that the Africans are patronizing AA’s businesses and I pray for the day Africans and blacks come together and build a unit. If those was Hispanics or Asians you know the money wouldn’t trickle down to black Americans. Hope we use this as a lesson and a way to learn and help each other
They jeoulous because when ppl think of blk culture, music and influence they point to blk Americans. Any country you go to even the whyt ppl in Europe are estatic when they meet blk Americans.
Im black american but i love all African countries and Brazil/Colombian carribean blacks.. I really want to live in Kenya/Tanzania/Brazil/Ghana … hopefully in the next two years
As Ethiopian African we always have much respect & love to AA history cultural & struggle for black people freedom & equality, I didn’t even know black people hate each other based on nothing until I go to social media it’s sad we hate each other before we know each other 😢😢 peace & love to all black people across Atlantic & in Africa
I believe that when social media emerged, African Americans quickly realized how much the media had lied to them. Meanwhile, we Nigerians had an advantage in understanding American culture through movies, 70s hip-hop, news, and the experiences of Nigerians living in the U.S. When these Nigerians return home, they often share their knowledge about African Americans with us. Unfortunately, African Americans had limited understanding of us Africans, influenced by negative perceptions pushed by U.S. propaganda to discourage them from leaving the country, while white Americans could come and go as they pleased. However, when the internet became widely available, African Americans were surprised to learn the truth. This revelation disrupted their sense of superiority over Africans, leading to ongoing debates between Africans and African Americans. Additionally, us Nigerians always stand on business just like the AA and that may have caused friction between us. Both African Americans and Nigerians can exhibit a sense of superiority, leading to frequent clashes between the two groups. Some even claim that Afrobeats wouldn't have gained popularity without African Americans, despite the genre having been popular since 2003 in the UK, across Africa, and in Europe. Once again, African Americans were late to the scene, influenced by media propaganda. to conclude, whether we like it or not, we need each other.
Again am black American in mwende’s voice (from Kenya)😂.Thanks for letting us know what our brothers think about us ❤.Black is beautiful 😻..love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
I am American, married to a Gambian. I learned how to cook his culture foods, and he has learned our cultural foods. We eat good. I have been married 8 years to my best friend. We work together with everything. I have visited Senegal and Gambia every year. Much love to the people.
Excellent work, Jackson! You did an outstanding job with the interviews, You asked the important questions and allowed the people to speak their mind. I really enjoyed what the brother with the red shirt and denim coverall had to say. This is an important dialogue. Thank you for putting it out there.
The guy in red from Columbia is super wrong when he says fba's didn't come together to create businesses and community. We are the only group in America whose businesses and communities have been underminded and destroyed for decades by the whyte supremist government and property owning landlords. They know fba's will create empires, and we will help many melanined people if we are left alone to build. Africans and other immigrant groups come over after the fba's do all the dirty work, and receive businesses loans and all kinds of assistance programs that fba's fought and died for. Africans and other immigrant groups also make deals with the whyte supremist gatekeepers that they don't have the revolutionary nor pan-african spirit as fba's and that they will not only unite with fba's, but they will help the whyte supremist undermind fba's. And that's exactly what they have been doing every since they started fleeing to America in large numbers in the 60's.
Many of us take the info they get from the media which is no where near the truth about Afrika. I learned about Africa from Afrikans and lived in Kenya and Zambia for a few years and LOVED it.
This is why I rock with Jackson. He stays consistent with this Bridging The Gap narrative. Stay on the mission brother and never give up. While the foolish loud minorities (from both ends) are on X and other platforms sowing seeds of hatred and division between Black Americans and Africans, J.Coop is on the ground talking to the real people and just revealing that deep down we all admire our counterparts and that it seems we are all open to becoming friends and uniting. I believe the gap can be bridged once we find a space where we can all come together and bring all the love and misconceptions we have about each other and humbly be willing to accept the same love together with corrections and knowledge respectively. As long as the goal is Love and Unity then we shall prevail.
That’s a fact. Real people have no reason to hate for no reason. My thing is even if I don’t know someone I treat them with respect. And when they are black I go an extra mile.
Anti Tariq FBA stuff which I unfortunately find linked to my feed. This is positive and goes towards uniting. That other stuff is very divisive and turns me off. Hopefully, most Black Americans will move in the uniting direction with interacting and communicating with Africans and other Black immigrants or African diaspora.
I haven't found that at all with people calling themselves "FBA," something I want nothing to do with whatsoever. But I hope you are cool with everybody.
some African Americans think that Africa is their enemies but they don't know when Africa sees African Americans cry, Africa cries too and they don't know that Africans love them with all their hearts, has people who create resentment towards black people that hurts me a lot 😑🌍❣️
@@COOPSCORNER I'm sorry bro but it's Right we need to change our thinking to go further my brother, I like African Americans but what I am saying is clear🫵🏿✊🏿❤
I m a Kenyan and naturally I like all the Africans no matter where they are in the world. I wish that we especially Black People can all come back to Africa.
I agree though I think it is our ancestral homeland. We are very different in terms of culture and are kind of spoiled by living in a rich nation. Much of Africa is developing and dealing with those challenges plus they have different traditions and levels of hierarchy in families so we'd feel very much that difference if we were in most African societies. I think South Africa comes closest to ours but they have their traditions as well.
I'm Afro and global citizen luv your video black American helps me when i came to the state.You guys are big brother for all black ppls around the world 🌎 period.! I'm willing to help any blk American , YES i said it even you..!!
This is the love we need to have toward our continental brothas and sistas and they towards us. Love to see us positive about each other. We also need to show better love toward one another on this rock.
If your family hasn’t been in Africa for 400 years and your family has always been in America your ethnically a foundational black American our lineage is uniquely different from Africans Jamaicans and Caribbean’s most black Americans aren’t interested in any coalition or pan Africanism that ship has sailed 🤷🏾
@@QLivin I have no issue with that. They can stay in America and build up your communities. There should not be a feeling that Africa is being forced on anyone. We here on the continent are just fine with or without you.
TH-cam needs this COOP! This is how you separate yourself from the pack! PURPOSE, and RESPONSIBILITY! That’s how you moving, and it’s greatly appreciated💯💯💯💯
Thanks coop this video was very enlightening. The truth of how our brothers feel about the Africans. It’s all about love and staying to be connected to each other. None of them were harsh or spoke anything negative. It’s good to hear how they feel about the African people. Peace and one love❤❤❤❤

As a born Ugandan , who has lived in N. American. Since I was 13 , I love all black people, we might have our differences but black is black, it doesn’t matter if you are from Africa, America the Caribbean, we are all one. I have heard that Africans do not like African Americans, that is a bunch of bull, we love our brothers and sisters in America and i for one refuse to believe in that bull crap narrative. I judge a person by their character are there some black people, regardless of where you are from that are A-holes? Of course, there is , just like any other race. At the end of the day we are all one.
As the song says “No matter where you come from, as long as you’re a black man you’re an African”. Yo coop thanks for posting this. There is power in unity. One Love fam.
Africans need to understand that they were given benefits that were held back from us Indigenous Black Americans. Our ancestors were redlined while theirs were able to get loans from the bank, etc. Once we both understand this clearly then we can make a plan together to grow and build with each other in the future. It's not we are lazy were actually intentionally cut out so that we wouldn't grow and take over the country.
There are no barriers unless we allow them to be. We have to know this. Folks coming from Africa have very low currency money so they're not having any type of advantage AFAIC. .We have to admit that sometimes we aren't as united as we should be and some of us are downright destructive in terms of criminal activity destroying our own businesses. When we get real with our own problems and come up with effective solutions, then we grow. That's not to say we don't have successful people but in our local communities, we have real challenges.
The thing is that Africans living in Africa truly love AA . We’re influenced by them daily even till today. The man on red spoke well. Normally we Africans in America or around the world loves to form communities to help ourselves and we don’t get money from any government. If you go to England, Ireland, China , Turkey any where you find Africa they form communities to help themselves because they’re far from home. Sometimes when they die in America they fund themselves to burial the death send back to Africa. They fund their weddings. They job hunt together and get opportunities for each others that’s why those communities are formed
I don't rock with West Indians..Africans .Afro Latino European Blacks...i only rock with Black Americans..my peeps..those others are funny style...they actually think there better than us...
They say we are they're brothers and sisters. And they love us like brothers and sisters. More like step brothers and sisters. More tolerance than actual love.
Historically black from outside US mostly from Caribbean, South and Central America including Mexico ,Columbia ,Brazil, Jamaica, Belize, Panama etc . Black from Caribbean ,Central, South America 2.2 million . Total Black population from Africa in US 2.7 million . Black population Africa 1.3 billion . Population from North Africa in US 1 million . Total Population Africa continent 1.46 billion . BLACK POPULATION FROM OUTSIDE US INSIGNIFICANT .
2.7 million black from continent vs a population of 1.3 billion with over 54 countries . 2.7 million black from continent in US vs 44-45 million black from US . 400,000-600K Nigerians in US vs 215 million Nigerians in continent . 357,000 Ethiopians in US vs 120 million Ethiopian population in Continent . MOST BLACK IN US FROM CONTINENT OF AFRICA COME FROM LESS THAN 5 COUNTRIES OUT OF 50+ .
Man, they talked about why Africans are more entrepreneurial, and i can say after living in an african neighborhood( Ethiopian, Eritrean, Nigerians, Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Senegalese and Sudanese). Them folks are some hustlers. They come here with connections. And the expectation for the generations to come are high. Not saying Black Americans aren't that way, but a great number of us have lost that way.
I mean To the older gentleman with the apron on and the red hoodie I think people don't realize that we could do the same thing in Africa but it's just about being a little bit uncomfortable and when you're in a situation where you're in a foreign land you look for the people that are similar to you basically other people from your home country. Black Americans can and have done the same thing in Africa so that's the way I look at it is that we have a lot of money in the ones I usually come to the United States from Africa are the best and brightest
Go watch his videos on what these Africans think about us Tho. These Black dudes kept a good attitude about the topic but, when these Africans speak on us , they cant even help themselves but to say some hatful shit 🤦🏾♂️. You 🥷🏾’s better start showing these folkz the same energy .
@@BmovinzFirstorlast Speak for yourself not everyone in America bro or do a dna and find out you are African, a zebra born in America is not an American Zebra but an African zebra living in America, still, never get it twisted. You cannot save everyone, those that identify as African and want to come back are the one I’m talking to not you.
@@Bhebe40He's basically saying our American heritage is more important to us than DNA. It sounds very good to claim we are all one, but it just doesn't seem that way. Maybe one day.
@QLivin We connect with those that choose to connect with us, and there's plenty that have moved back and identify as Africans, we recognise that you have your culture you created as African Americans, all I'm saying is your roots are in Africa, but obviously not everyone will agree, and that's normal, especially if you've never been to Africa and felt the connection, so when yiu see a comment like mine proclaiming AAs to be us, if you disagree, then don't bother responding because it's not aimed at you, onlt the ones that have connected and traced their roots to Africa. We'll still hold a spot for you even though you feel different, we still got love for you, respectfully.
That’s not an African Flag.And as a Nairobians I really do hope that is not a representation of Our Flag without the Shield And Spears.!We take our sht seriously.
The government doesnt help anyone besides food stamps for someone who is new. People who come to the US from Africa come on a mission to do better for there family here and send money to there family back home. People work 2-3jobs 16hr days, until they can afford their own business. Whatever is necessary to make their dreams a reality.
I am a Somalian and Ethiopia woman who is 55 years old I love my back people but I feel like same black Americans don’t like Africa especially the women I don’t know what it is I know we have different cultures but we are all one beautiful blacks 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️🇸🇴🇪🇹🫶
This was insightful Brother As a Nigerian born in the uk i see the division in uk amongst the so-called black british and Africans, even as a so called British Nigerian Nigerians/Africans don't socialise with me or other british born Nigerians/Africans like that since we are now looked at as British a total different culture to African culture..both my cousins at different times told me they were told by the immigrations it would be in there best interest not to mix with the young black brits because many of them are on the wrong side of the law..so this division isn't just in America its in uk also amongst Black british and Africans even though we are One people Again I don't take it personally people in general radiate to people they are familiar with who speak the same language same practices.. I don't agree but I understand why everyone sticks with their own... But I think it is going to happen where enough of us come together
I tend to not want to listen to videos with this subject as they can so often turn into tribalism, an us against them mentality coming a lot from Black Americans. But this is refreshingly intelligent and considerate commentary by the Black men in this video. I absolutely love what they had to say. I particularly paid attention to the brother in the Cavaliers cap as he said something important. Those businesses that Africans were building up could have been built up by Black Americans. They just weren't. So, he didn't show any animosity to them building things up. I agree with the him and others that communication is key as well. I just, in general, think we need to view Africa more as a diverse continent because Somali and Nigerian and Senegal and so forth are different cultures and even those countries are built with false borders. So the real culture goes down to are Africans Wollof or Somali or Oromo or Yoruba or Igbo or Ashanti or whatever ethnicity they are because they are that first, then country, then region, then Africans and the North Africans are entirely something different. But consistently you are right about respecting elders which is something African Americans need to bring back to our culture and mindsets. Great job and solid interviews here. Appreciate this.
Coop, please tell the brother in red sweat that Africans are just hard working, ambitious, and no government gives them anything (money) to take over the hood where you is, dude!
“Hard working” this dick . it’s plenty of African crossing the 🇺🇸 boarder RN so, obviously their not working to hard in their homeland . An plus , it’s been a lot of Africans settling in these city’s that’s been BEGGING for free benefits so, you can stop the “Hard Working” Bullshit
Tax cuts is the same as giving, but understand that it is just an observation and I know it to be true because I know to many personally. My concern is with the AA’s we can’t get it together, to busy playing victim.
That AG for Life gentleman reminds me of DaZ FROM THE DOGG POUND, are they related? We are hesitant to connect because think that if ever get into an argument, it might get into a gun play real fast from y'all as opposed to talking things out. But we still understand that it might be the residue of slavery that might be tied up with that uncontrollable anger. But not all the AA are emotionally unstable with pistols. But it is possible to understand each other. Because AA has this superiority complex over Africans and Nigeria is the only one that can match that, hence we bump heads with you all the time because we recognise that energy.
Nice and interesting video,you should do more videos of What do Black Americans think about Africans,the guy in the white shirt with the dreads is FINE 😍,he looks just like a regular Black American brother and he's from South Arabia wow ,two fine brothers together.... I was surprised by their answers tbh, I'm thinking they was pan africans and I really don't like pan africans they're very anti Black Americans and America... I don't want to go as deep,but nice video keep up the good work.
That brother is speaking the truth! The Somali community, in particular, sticks together, primarily because they’re not from here. Additionally, the Muslim community, in itself, is strong and operates under the law and teachings of the Quran. Furthermore, women are raised to be wives and are heavily encouraged to seek higher education. I went to a car wash on Westerville Rd. I couldn’t believe all the Black Americans were working for the Somali brothers. I thought to myself, ‘The shoe should be on the other foot. How can they just get here and you work for them?’ I’m not hating; it was just sad to see brothers who’ve been here all their lives being surpassed. There is way too much division within the Black community, especially here in Columbus, to compete with the newcomers. Especially the Muslim brothers who are congregating at the mosque every Friday. This is just my opinion, but I feel that East Africans feel like they’re better than Black Americans. They also look down on us with the stereotypical view of us being drug addicts, lazy, and irresponsible fathers to our children.
Man, that's the farthest from the truth. We are not aboriginal to the Americans. We are african by blood. We look just like Nigerians and Ghanaians. I know because I lived next to them.
This Video is so funny. Dude could ask a 10,000 black americans if they've ever been to Africa and he might get 1. 🤣🤣. Then he ask: "What do you think about Africans?". What?..🤣🤣....And it's funny nobody said, "only what I've seen on T.V." This is hilarious.
@@mrcallmefirst Yes I want to project a narrative and the narrative is: "We don't care..... 🤣. We don't think about Africans and Africans don't thinks about us. Again, This is hilarious. Question: When was the last time [YOU] thought about [any] African? 🤣🤣
@@urserious4419 you are absolutely right, Africans can’t stand us and we don’t care which is why so many of us are separating ourselves from the diaspora…
Africans actually think about Black Americans all the time. They think the wrong things more often than learning the facts. If you don't care then why comment and show your ignorance
I'm the owner of that shop. I have been to Africa, my business partner has been and brotha Ishmael (the guy at the end wearing the African print shirt) has also been to several countries in Africa.
I love the guy with the dreads making it very clear about all women he made a very good point. How would you feel if black American women were telling other black American women that they should go over to another country to seek a man? That does not make any sense whatsoever because a lot of those people don't feel comfortable with foreigners coming over to their country just to seek out of mate. That's totally ridiculous. Also you only went to Kenya there's 54 countries on the continent of Africa 🙄
I can address this one (clears throat). I’ve been to Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Uganda, Rwanda & Morocco. I’m just letting my people know we have ‘Options’. Have a blessed day. ✈️
bro it just hit me way we can merge ..... building together do like annual Africa trips don't have to be a group but can be a new black thing who knows what bomb outcomes come next let alone ... africans seems to have team work which where we lack and we can get businesses as far as LLCs and what have you .....dont wanna over speak but I got hella ideas now...that question sat on my thoughts too long
Black American is an ethno-racial group of Black/African people with US/American nationality . African is a race of Black people with multiple nationalities and ethnicities . Makes more sense to compare Black American(47-50million) with Black Jamaicans or Black Ethiopians who are all Black/African peoples . The public school system did a number that created this confusion .
black/African American(used interchangeably with race or ethnicity because of history) . Michelle Obama is black/African race , black american ethnicity , American nationality . Lupita Nyongo is black/African race,one of Nilotic ethnicities descended from Nile Valley and Kenyan/Mexican Nationality . George Bush is white/European race , Irish ethnicity and US American nationality . Elon Musk white/European race , Dutch/English ethnicity , South-African/ US nationality There is no nationality called African . African is a race of black people .
Out of this Black from outside US 4.8 million . Black from US 44-45million . 1980 Black population from outside US 800,000 . White populations from outside US including Europe preferred than black and other populations historically . 75% of black from Africa moved to the US after 2000 . 43% moved after 2010 .
Us Black Americans naturally LOVE everyone. But Black Americans are not from Africa. We are the ORIGINAL American Indians.... Thats the reason 95% of us don't look like any African Countries. We are the original Copper Colored People. Just look at the people in this interview. Us Black Americans have a natural Red and Orange color to our skin Complexion.
Their are whole communities of nothing but Somali, african, Mexican, etc...whole shopping Plazas owned and ran by Somali etc...I've spoken to a Somalian about the process.they look at the application and judge the name of the person....wouldn't that be discrimination if it was any other way around. No other brown skin people work build,support the black American. But all the other brown skin nations get along buil,spend,support encourage each other with the black American EXCLUDES
You will never see another brown skin culture shopping at your soul food restaurant, your car repair shop, your tax service etc...the black American is excluded from the other groups
Learn about the (Habshi dynasty)/xi dynasty, we are all Melanated Asians aka "Afro Asian" Indians tribes we are not mixed we are the Ancient Asiatics, we made all the other races, that is why they call us (gods and goddess) which is in Spanish (Masculine=Indio and feminine= India), we are also called Ethiopic Mayan Mongoloid Asiatic people by scientist. There are thousands of different tribes. Ancient Ethiopia is still in Hindustan, Pakistan, Bangladesh which are the Habshi, the Siddi, the Onge, the Jarawa and many many more tribes. It was once known to be 2 Ethiopia's at and at least 4 India's. Infact, what would be considered modern day Ethiopia in so called "Africa" was originally named Abbyssinia. Just like so called Africa was once named Alkebulan prior to the late 1800's - to early 1900"s.

I believe you are genuine and you come with best intentions to your fellow people. However, I have an issue with this mutual respect thing. Remember that respect is earned.
Remember that most of you guys served your slavery in the West, most predominantly in the US.
So, there are certain dynamics that play themselves here: The West, has always been an enemy of Africa, being led by the country that you come from.
One of the countries that are an enemy of our people as Africans. Many of you do not even realize how you hate your own brothers by participating in the armies of those that are hellbent on destroying your own brothers in Africa.
So, generally what I am saying is that black Americans should earn the respect of their fellow African brothers, simply because they are participating on our destruction too.
I would like to suggest that, based on your love for your fellow African brothers, to start a movement to sensitive your people about the things that they do against us unawares as well as the hatred they meet against us by participating in the armies of our enemies.
Gradually they will start to understand and therefore earn our respect. But as of now, there will never be mutual respect until black Americans earn that respect.

If those was Hispanics or Asians you know the money wouldn’t trickle down to black Americans. Hope we use this as a lesson and a way to learn and help each other

I believe that when social media emerged, African Americans quickly realized how much the media had lied to them. Meanwhile, we Nigerians had an advantage in understanding American culture through movies, 70s hip-hop, news, and the experiences of Nigerians living in the U.S. When these Nigerians return home, they often share their knowledge about African Americans with us. Unfortunately, African Americans had limited understanding of us Africans, influenced by negative perceptions pushed by U.S. propaganda to discourage them from leaving the country, while white Americans could come and go as they pleased.
However, when the internet became widely available, African Americans were surprised to learn the truth. This revelation disrupted their sense of superiority over Africans, leading to ongoing debates between Africans and African Americans. Additionally, us Nigerians always stand on business just like the AA and that may have caused friction between us. Both African Americans and Nigerians can exhibit a sense of superiority, leading to frequent clashes between the two groups.
Some even claim that Afrobeats wouldn't have gained popularity without African Americans, despite the genre having been popular since 2003 in the UK, across Africa, and in Europe. Once again, African Americans were late to the scene, influenced by media propaganda. to conclude, whether we like it or not, we need each other.

Excellent work, Jackson! You did an outstanding job with the interviews, You asked the important questions and allowed the people to speak their mind. I really enjoyed what the brother with the red shirt and denim coverall had to say. This is an important dialogue. Thank you for putting it out there.
The guy in red from Columbia is super wrong when he says fba's didn't come together to create businesses and community. We are the only group in America whose businesses and communities have been underminded and destroyed for decades by the whyte supremist government and property owning landlords. They know fba's will create empires, and we will help many melanined people if we are left alone to build.
Africans and other immigrant groups come over after the fba's do all the dirty work, and receive businesses loans and all kinds of assistance programs that fba's fought and died for. Africans and other immigrant groups also make deals with the whyte supremist gatekeepers that they don't have the revolutionary nor pan-african spirit as fba's and that they will not only unite with fba's, but they will help the whyte supremist undermind fba's. And that's exactly what they have been doing every since they started fleeing to America in large numbers in the 60's.

This is why I rock with Jackson. He stays consistent with this Bridging The Gap narrative. Stay on the mission brother and never give up.
While the foolish loud minorities (from both ends) are on X and other platforms sowing seeds of hatred and division between Black Americans and Africans, J.Coop is on the ground talking to the real people and just revealing that deep down we all admire our counterparts and that it seems we are all open to becoming friends and uniting.
I believe the gap can be bridged once we find a space where we can all come together and bring all the love and misconceptions we have about each other and humbly be willing to accept the same love together with corrections and knowledge respectively. As long as the goal is Love and Unity then we shall prevail.

That’s a fact. Real people have no reason to hate for no reason. My thing is even if I don’t know someone I treat them with respect. And when they are black I go an extra mile.
Anti Tariq FBA stuff which I unfortunately find linked to my feed. This is positive and goes towards uniting. That other stuff is very divisive and turns me off. Hopefully, most Black Americans will move in the uniting direction with interacting and communicating with Africans and other Black immigrants or African diaspora.

To us Black Americans, Africa is our homeland. We wasn't born in Africa, the Africa was born within us.
I agree though I think it is our ancestral homeland. We are very different in terms of culture and are kind of spoiled by living in a rich nation. Much of Africa is developing and dealing with those challenges plus they have different traditions and levels of hierarchy in families so we'd feel very much that difference if we were in most African societies. I think South Africa comes closest to ours but they have their traditions as well.

Africans need to understand that they were given benefits that were held back from us Indigenous Black Americans. Our ancestors were redlined while theirs were able to get loans from the bank, etc. Once we both understand this clearly then we can make a plan together to grow and build with each other in the future. It's not we are lazy were actually intentionally cut out so that we wouldn't grow and take over the country.
There are no barriers unless we allow them to be. We have to know this. Folks coming from Africa have very low currency money so they're not having any type of advantage AFAIC. .We have to admit that sometimes we aren't as united as we should be and some of us are downright destructive in terms of criminal activity destroying our own businesses. When we get real with our own problems and come up with effective solutions, then we grow. That's not to say we don't have successful people but in our local communities, we have real challenges.

The thing is that Africans living in Africa truly love AA . We’re influenced by them daily even till today. The man on red spoke well. Normally we Africans in America or around the world loves to form communities to help ourselves and we don’t get money from any government. If you go to England, Ireland, China , Turkey any where you find Africa they form communities to help themselves because they’re far from home. Sometimes when they die in America they fund themselves to burial the death send back to Africa. They fund their weddings. They job hunt together and get opportunities for each others that’s why those communities are formed

Man, they talked about why Africans are more entrepreneurial, and i can say after living in an african neighborhood( Ethiopian, Eritrean, Nigerians, Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Senegalese and Sudanese). Them folks are some hustlers. They come here with connections. And the expectation for the generations to come are high. Not saying Black Americans aren't that way, but a great number of us have lost that way.
I mean To the older gentleman with the apron on and the red hoodie I think people don't realize that we could do the same thing in Africa but it's just about being a little bit uncomfortable and when you're in a situation where you're in a foreign land you look for the people that are similar to you basically other people from your home country. Black Americans can and have done the same thing in Africa so that's the way I look at it is that we have a lot of money in the ones I usually come to the United States from Africa are the best and brightest

As a Nigerian born in the uk i see the division in uk amongst the so-called black british and Africans, even as a so called British Nigerian Nigerians/Africans don't socialise with me or other british born Nigerians/Africans like that since we are now looked at as British a total different culture to African culture..both my cousins at different times told me they were told by the immigrations it would be in there best interest not to mix with the young black brits because many of them are on the wrong side of the law..so this division isn't just in America its in uk also amongst Black british and Africans even though we are One people
Again I don't take it personally people in general radiate to people they are familiar with who speak the same language same practices.. I don't agree but I understand why everyone sticks with their own... But I think it is going to happen where enough of us come together

I tend to not want to listen to videos with this subject as they can so often turn into tribalism, an us against them mentality coming a lot from Black Americans. But this is refreshingly intelligent and considerate commentary by the Black men in this video. I absolutely love what they had to say. I particularly paid attention to the brother in the Cavaliers cap as he said something important. Those businesses that Africans were building up could have been built up by Black Americans. They just weren't. So, he didn't show any animosity to them building things up. I agree with the him and others that communication is key as well. I just, in general, think we need to view Africa more as a diverse continent because Somali and Nigerian and Senegal and so forth are different cultures and even those countries are built with false borders. So the real culture goes down to are Africans Wollof or Somali or Oromo or Yoruba or Igbo or Ashanti or whatever ethnicity they are because they are that first, then country, then region, then Africans and the North Africans are entirely something different. But consistently you are right about respecting elders which is something African Americans need to bring back to our culture and mindsets. Great job and solid interviews here. Appreciate this.
I think africa owe reparations we been going after the wrong people for reparations
We have to stick together first, once gou realize other ethnicities don't embrace that you'll understand fully how this is cap.

Coop, please tell the brother in red sweat that Africans are just hard working, ambitious, and no government gives them anything (money) to take over the hood where you is, dude!
Africans in America begging government for money right now quit lying
It’s true. The government gives foreigners loans in our neighborhoods. It’s usually North Africans that take advantage of those loans.
And not all Africans are hard working. I’ve met plenty of lazy Africans.
“Hard working” this dick . it’s plenty of African crossing the 🇺🇸 boarder RN so, obviously their not working to hard in their homeland . An plus , it’s been a lot of Africans settling in these city’s that’s been BEGGING for free benefits so, you can stop the “Hard Working” Bullshit
Tax cuts is the same as giving, but understand that it is just an observation and I know it to be true because I know to many personally. My concern is with the AA’s we can’t get it together, to busy playing victim.
That AG for Life gentleman reminds me of DaZ FROM THE DOGG POUND, are they related? We are hesitant to connect because think that if ever get into an argument, it might get into a gun play real fast from y'all as opposed to talking things out. But we still understand that it might be the residue of slavery that might be tied up with that uncontrollable anger. But not all the AA are emotionally unstable with pistols. But it is possible to understand each other. Because AA has this superiority complex over Africans and Nigeria is the only one that can match that, hence we bump heads with you all the time because we recognise that energy.
Where are we ??

That brother is speaking the truth! The Somali community, in particular, sticks together, primarily because they’re not from here. Additionally, the Muslim community, in itself, is strong and operates under the law and teachings of the Quran. Furthermore, women are raised to be wives and are heavily encouraged to seek higher education. I went to a car wash on Westerville Rd. I couldn’t believe all the Black Americans were working for the Somali brothers. I thought to myself, ‘The shoe should be on the other foot. How can they just get here and you work for them?’ I’m not hating; it was just sad to see brothers who’ve been here all their lives being surpassed. There is way too much division within the Black community, especially here in Columbus, to compete with the newcomers. Especially the Muslim brothers who are congregating at the mosque every Friday. This is just my opinion, but I feel that East Africans feel like they’re better than Black Americans. They also look down on us with the stereotypical view of us being drug addicts, lazy, and irresponsible fathers to our children.

Black American is an ethno-racial group of Black/African people with US/American nationality . African is a race of Black people with multiple nationalities and ethnicities .
Makes more sense to compare Black American(47-50million) with Black Jamaicans or Black Ethiopians who are all Black/African peoples .
The public school system did a number that created this confusion .
black/African American(used interchangeably with race or ethnicity because of history) .
Michelle Obama is black/African race , black american ethnicity , American nationality .
Lupita Nyongo is black/African race,one of Nilotic ethnicities descended from Nile Valley and Kenyan/Mexican Nationality .
George Bush is white/European race , Irish ethnicity and US American nationality .
Elon Musk white/European race , Dutch/English ethnicity , South-African/ US nationality There is no nationality called African .
African is a race of black people .
Out of this Black from outside US 4.8 million . Black from US 44-45million .
1980 Black population from outside US 800,000 . White populations from outside US including Europe preferred than black and other populations historically .
75% of black from Africa moved to the US after 2000 . 43% moved after 2010 .
Us Black Americans naturally LOVE everyone. But Black Americans are not from Africa.
We are the ORIGINAL American Indians.... Thats the reason 95% of us don't look like any African Countries. We are the original Copper Colored People. Just look at the people in this interview. Us Black Americans have a natural Red and Orange color to our skin Complexion.
Somalis will take over a place like bees and will make he place a small Mogadishu.I agree with he Black American brother
Their are whole communities of nothing but Somali, african, Mexican, etc...whole shopping Plazas owned and ran by Somali etc...I've spoken to a Somalian about the process.they look at the application and judge the name of the person....wouldn't that be discrimination if it was any other way around.
