So many vloggers visit Amsterdam and so few take the time and effort to go and speak to the beautiful people of the Bijlmer, thank you for that. It's my favourite part of Amsterdam.
Fun fact: the dutch traded New York for Suriname with the americans. Thats where Harlem and Brooklyn got their names from. Those are dutch names “Haarlem” en “Breukelen”. New York was even called New Amsterdam if im not mistaken😂
Not correct, In 1667, the Netherlands traded New Amsterdam (now New York City) to the ';British' for full colonial rights over Suriname, not with the Americans
When in Bijlmer, you need to visit The Black Archives Amsterdam, they will show and tell you ALL ABOUT THE DUTCH COLONIAL HISTORY - Dutch Guyanas, Carribean and Maluku Indonesia! Also love how the people show that speaking different languages literally expands your ability to get around in different countries and cultures.
There's so much positive energy that side of Amsterdam.The lady in the market possesses a most pleasant energy and smile. Bike man, George, is cool as the weather there. Beautiful people and informative video. I learned something from everyone encountered.
Shot out to the handsome (guy riding the bike) man with so much spirit, wisdom and strength to share his story. I want to hear more from him. As a so-called black woman in America, I know who I am and I know the truth he spoke about in detail. APTTMHY 😊
Don’t skip over the part where he says he’s from Curaçao 🇨🇼( former Dutch colony) BUT he’s an African from Afrika. Since many Afro Americans wanna wear feathers and say they are the real native Americans
Is there a country in this world where there isn't a Jamaican. I was in China and heard a Jamaican talking. I was in Saudi Arabia and heard Jamaicans. We are everywhere.
@@shayscott7498 George is not a Jamaican, he is from Curacao, Dutch Caribbean but I agree human beings are everywhere including Jamaicans ;) bigup Jamrock still mawwd
Our Brothamoon with the bike was so wise, emboldened and full of life . He spoke absolute truth and facts thank you for allowing him to speak. I hope your viewing audience is listening
He is a racist, and is clearly lying i learned alot about the durch history in school. Also he hates jews it seems. If we are that racist why would the Dutch raise a statue of a black hero
Grew up in Amsterdam Zuidoost in the 80s/90s, it was called the ghetto of Amsterdam back then and it kinda was. Rough neigbourhoods, concrete jungle, lots of junkies, dark places, graffiti everywhere. But even then as a white guy there were never any issues as long as you knew the rules and ways of the street and overall it was always very social place. I'm not a young lad anymore living in an all white small village outide of Amsterdam, but I would not want to have missed my time growing up there and even miss it sometimes, especially all the good food and those park bbq's.Was nice seeing you made a trip to de Bijlmer!
Same for me! My parents moved there in the early seventies and I lived in de Bijlmer my whole youth. There where some rough area's indeed like Hoptille, Eeftink, Echtenstein where we for example also couldn't send any pizza delivery boys when I worked at Big Pizza. I still think I had an awesome childhood there. They did a lot of positive change to the infrastructure making it safer. My parents are now 83 years old and still live in de Bijlmer. I live in Austria near the Italian border now, but we come visit every year. First thing I do is get me some Surinam food every time. I also always buy spices so I can make Roti Kip at home in Austria.
Ngl the guy with the bike, the speaker and the Albert Heijn bag on his bike seat is the most Dutch thing ever 😂 every black person has an unc like that.
He is talking negative about the DUtch while he has all the benefits from the Dutch. true hater lol. he just cannot find peace with the past. truly sad. meanwhile he is living on Government money with no work and Housing by Government. If he has kids hes wife gets monney for the Kids care. all Dutch benefits with rights. he is still hating on Dutch people.
Brooooo! Ik reageer nooit op comments maar ik ging out van deze. Ik heb die uncle ook alleen de indo versie 😂 ik zie die overal terug die versie je hebt gelijk.
Amazing video of the Bylmer, I am from Rotterdam and the Bylmer is the only part of 020 (adam) I like..PS No more excuses, you have to come to Surinam......
Ace my brother it's not only Curacao and Aruba it's also Bonaire it's called the A, B, C island. Am originally from Saint Martin the French Caribbean but i live in the UK in Hartlepool. Your doing a great fantastic job my bro as an Amazing TH-camr. Keep doing what your doing best 👍🏽🌍
If you are going to explain, please explain it correctly. ABC is Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao and then you have SSS which is Saba, St.Martin and St. Eustatius which are all former Dutch colonies. St. Martin where you are from is not just French, it's also Dutch as the islands is owned by both countries. I know you know this of course but to avoid confusion you have to explain it the right way ;)
Surinamese and Antillean people are NOT Africans. The entire world was Dark skinned at some point but that does not mean we are all Africans. IF you kidnap white people from China today and put them into slavery they are not Asian slaves are they?
Nice I hope you went bij The Black Archives. Its like a black library/exhibition. Have a nice time and you should come back in the summer for Kwaku festival!!❤
Good content Ace! Lived from 1971 to 2020 in de Bijlmer. Now residing in the Gambia. That sister who is coming to visit Gambia, if you read this give me a shout to meet other Surinamese people staying overhere.

wow u finaly came to Amsterdam. very cool that you came to see the black people of the Netherlands. But when i commented, i meant for you to go to the countries from which these people came from, like Suriname and Curacao and such. lol look at me acting as if your here because of my comment 😂 But i definitely appreciate you coming to Amsterdam and visit us here. I love your vids, keep doing what you do, much blessings from a diaspora brother.
I guess Suriname has to be on your list of places to go now Ace hahaha. Honestly, I'd never even heard of Suriname before or where it was on the map until watching this video.
It was a reason you met ole school.15:00-22:00 That was a lot to unpack and really honest. I know there is a lot to love about any country for the most part. At least he was honest about the current universal state of Black people in his chosen country.
Your videos are very educational! They reveal the true identity of the original people in these places you visit. We need to know ! Thank you for your cultural travels!
I’m not Black, and I’ve always wanted to visit Amsterdam, but now I HAVE to visit Belmont! Being from the Bay Area, Oakland is the soul of the Bay. And I’ve noticed the true soul of every major city is concentrated around Black culture. Brixton and Camden are my favorite areas of London for obvious reasons. Thank you for this exposition of this area of Amsterdam!

I only heard of Bijlmer recently due to some TH-camrs' videos about what is supposed to be Amsterdam's roughest neighbourhood. It is portrayed as being the poorest and most dangerous part of Netherlands, yet it seems really nice.
The Bijlmer has changed a lot in the last decades. There was a time you could have called it a ghetto. But with the right actions it was build it into something better.
@@erics320 The ghetto reputation is due mostly to the fear white people have of black people. I lived in Bijlmer during the "ghetto years". I now live in Rotterdam and still go back to Bijlmer for shopping and generally, the vibe.
I visited Amsterdam back in 1988 and had a ball. Th black folks (Suriname) people were fantastic and the white Dutch were wonderful as well. Good video bro.
A very concise background of the black people living in this area. The majority came from Surinam, the Dutch Caribbean (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten) and Ghana. However you will find a lot of other nationalities there too. Until 1975 Surinam people (born in Surinam) were born with the Dutch nationality and after the country became independent some were given the option to choose for Surinam or Dutch nationality. People from the Dutch Caribbean are still born with the Dutch nationality up to date. Although my father is Ghanaian, I have know clue why so many of us came to the Netherlands, seen that the dominant European language in Ghana is English...
I'm from the States, raising my son and working with his mom, ex wife.. after he finish high school, i'm considering leaving the United States and relocating there to Amsterdam. Thanks for this video.
There are 178 nationalities in Amsterdam. That makes it so great. I lived in the Bijlmer for 15 years as a white girl straight from the countyside and I loved it! Bijlmer has a bad reputation, but mostly by people that have never been there.
@ what have we learned? Be specific. And do we need 178 nationalities for that. Europe snd thus NL has always been diverse. Never understood why people want to be a metropolis that reflects the world. I mean… look at the world. I primarly see disconnect from society, feeling foreign in your own country, polarizarion, and instability. Across all Western countries, hence proving my point.
Brilliant video as usual Ace, thanks. You'll probably be on the other side of the world for the next one, but Rotterdam has a carnival in the summer. I haven't been for a few years, but it used to 🔥🔥🔥
I am an African American and a Native New Yorker by birth. I lived in Europe for 16 years and been to Ghana and Nigeria as well. I always like visiting Holland and vibing with the people. I heard from people on the diaspora that the Dutch have their race issues. America is the worse though. Yes, I visited the slave castle from in Ghana and I know The Dutch had a smaller castle before the Brits. Currently, I reside in Atlanta but I will be relocating soon maybe Nigeria and Alaska as part of my escape from our new dictator. I married an Igbo in December; and relocating to Alaska is where I can hide from some of the lower 48. My man that is youtubing I love it.
This gentleman is speaking truth about history our culture ..my next vacation I’m definitely going take a trip to Amsterdam ..I am from Harlem, New York born raised, and my grandmother explained to me about Harlem historically name” Our park is called, Marcus Garvey ..It is still Harlem ..now 2024 New York is just called NYC..That’s a fact!..
Ace. The Ladies mentioned Rotterdam, Carnival is awesome in Rotterdam end of July. I was there and for me you need to visit to see it. Blessings Brother keep up the good work. I saw years back when you honoured your Mother.
The wisest men I know are my grandfather as well as the older men of Caribbean descent that I grew up around in my Bronx neighborhood. This brother on the bike reminds me of a close friend from Jamaica. So much knowledge and wisdom. He shared many jewels❤

Oh my gosh, George is really an amazing human being.. This video will go viral.. 🎉 I live on the small island 🇲🇺 of Mauritius which is part of the African continent.. The Dutch were the first Europeans to colonize Mauritius in 1638.. They named it after Prince Maurice of Nassau.. During their occupation, they introduced sugarcane and African slaves to work on plantations.. The Dutch abandoned the island in 1710 due to harsh weather and other difficulties, leaving behind a lasting Impact on Mauritius biodiversity and early economic foundations.. 😊
@@GullibleTarget 🇲🇺🏝Mauritius is a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar. While Madagascar is the largest landmass in the region, Mauritius is part of a group of three smaller islands: Reunion, Mauritius itself, and Rodrigues. We are Mauritians, distinct from the Malagasy people of Madagascar, with our own unique culture and identity.
@@GullibleTarget Not exactly, but there are some connections. Mauritian ethnicity is very diverse, including Indian, African, Chinese, European, and Creole influences. Malagasy people from Madagascar are part of this mix, as many Mauritians of African and Creole descent have Malagasy ancestry. However, Mauritian identity is a blend of multiple cultures, while Malagasy identity is primarily rooted in Madagascar's unique Austronesian and African heritage..

@Janthonyx No, we don't need 178 nationalities. 177 or 179 would also be okay with me.
Brilliant video as usual Ace, thanks. You'll probably be on the other side of the world for the next one, but Rotterdam has a carnival in the summer. I haven't been for a few years, but it used to 🔥🔥🔥
Great to see your vlog from Amsterdam. Meeting some interesting people from Africa, Curaçao, Surinam and other places. The Curaçaoan man speaks truth!
I am an African American and a Native New Yorker by birth. I lived in Europe for 16 years and been to Ghana and Nigeria as well. I always like visiting Holland and vibing with the people. I heard from people on the diaspora that the Dutch have their race issues. America is the worse though. Yes, I visited the slave castle from in Ghana and I know The Dutch had a smaller castle before the Brits. Currently, I reside in Atlanta but I will be relocating soon maybe Nigeria and Alaska as part of my escape from our new dictator. I married an Igbo in December; and relocating to Alaska is where I can hide from some of the lower 48. My man that is youtubing I love it.
Nice been following you since you went to Ecuador and now your in my city would have never guessed it enjoy bro💪🏽
Nice to see you at the south east side of Amsterdam where I grew up and spend most of my youth. Thanx so much ACE.

As a North African I really enjoined watching this episode. Especially the real stories of people from the Bijlmer...
This gentleman is speaking truth about history our culture ..my next vacation I’m definitely going take a trip to Amsterdam ..I am from Harlem, New York born raised, and my grandmother explained to me about Harlem historically name” Our park is called, Marcus Garvey ..It is still Harlem ..now 2024 New York is just called NYC..That’s a fact!..

The wisest men I know are my grandfather as well as the older men of Caribbean descent that I grew up around in my Bronx neighborhood. This brother on the bike reminds me of a close friend from Jamaica. So much knowledge and wisdom. He shared many jewels❤

GRAND RISING KING ACE HAS BEEN AWHILE BLISSING ✨️ ASANTE SANA ( THANX U) FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 📹 KEEP ON KEEPING IT REAL TALK 💯 NUFF RESPECT !
WATCHING FROM ( 441 B.D.A. 🇧🇲❤️⚫️💚🫡🏝
Oh my gosh, George is really an amazing human being.. This video will go viral.. 🎉 I live on the small island 🇲🇺 of Mauritius which is part of the African continent.. The Dutch were the first Europeans to colonize Mauritius in 1638.. They named it after Prince Maurice of Nassau.. During their occupation, they introduced sugarcane and African slaves to work on plantations.. The Dutch abandoned the island in 1710 due to harsh weather and other difficulties, leaving behind a lasting Impact on Mauritius biodiversity and early economic foundations.. 😊
Don’t know why but always thought that Mauritius was part of the Caribbean Islands 🤔
@purpleplu1210 it's a very interesting place with unique people. Malagasy.
@@GullibleTarget 🇲🇺🏝Mauritius is a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar. While Madagascar is the largest landmass in the region, Mauritius is part of a group of three smaller islands: Reunion, Mauritius itself, and Rodrigues. We are Mauritians, distinct from the Malagasy people of Madagascar, with our own unique culture and identity.
@@MiaTheDreamer thank you!, I got the two mixed up. Is the ethnicirty of Mauritanians similar to Malagasy?
@@GullibleTarget Not exactly, but there are some connections. Mauritian ethnicity is very diverse, including Indian, African, Chinese, European, and Creole influences. Malagasy people from Madagascar are part of this mix, as many Mauritians of African and Creole descent have Malagasy ancestry. However, Mauritian identity is a blend of multiple cultures, while Malagasy identity is primarily rooted in Madagascar's unique Austronesian and African heritage..
Bijlmer gave me some of my best years. Even dough I'm living in Belgium right now, Amsterdam bijlmer will never be forgotten in my memories ❤❤❤
Nice intervieuw redbull, big up to Suriname!!
homey near the statue PREACHED! Ace, keep doing ur thang! Not just a travel channel. It's a multicultural documentary channel!
Everyone interviewed on this video was excellent.
Ace, please visit Rotterdam, it is the more modern side and equally as nice.

@@biggadon lies
Trick daddy disagrees
@@jayeverythingwhere else would you like to believe black people are from?
genetically, not nationality/culturally (if they grew up there)
No mind your nationality
You have got the identity of an African
Loved this video, you met some cool people

He's a liar and a grifter. What "god"? Didn't he just say "don't live an illusion", and then went on to hallucinate about some deity? Hahahahahaha
Respect for visiting Bijlmer and go beyond traditional touristcentre.
Love the Bijlmer area. I stay at the Holiday Express Inn by the Ajax stadium. Their buffet breakfast slaps!
The valley of dry bones have awaken,give thanks Ace and continued success!!!
Amsterdamse Poort winkelcentrum.. Amsterdam port is probably a shady bar ;) awesome to see somebody of the usual tourist path :)
That small red (moped) car is called "Canta". You can drive it only in the city and on the bike roads, and it's not allowed to drive with it on the highway or car roads! 😁
Nice video, love it !
Bijlmer is the place to be 🙌🏾
You should come in july, then there is Kwaku festival
