  • Many groups of Africans migrated out of the continent about 70,000 to 20,000 years ago. A lot of these groups still live in Asia and the Pacific and are indigenous to the region. The most famous group being the Aborigines of Australia. In this video, I took a trip to the Philippines to meet the Aetas tribe. I spent a night in their village and was welcomed with open arms like I was at a family reunion.

    You’re the first TH-camr that I’ve seen that actually treated the tribe you visited like your own family and not just subjects you were studying. It humanizes them in a way people can identify with, not like exotic tribal people from a far away land.

      This guy trying to claim an entire other black AUSTRONESIAN ethnicity as his own ..... It's like a Thai man going to China and saying "look the Chinese have Asian eyes... They belong to us". A Japanese man should go to south Africa and tell the khoi San people he owns them too🤦🤦🤦. Mexican should go to Cuba and tell Cuba belongs to Mexico..🤦🤦WTF🤦. I'm so sick of these lost Black American SUPREMACISTS claiming everything belongs to them...they are the worst of all various black ethnicities. You can't just claim and BRAINWASH 👉OTHER👈 PEOPLE that are NOT YOU as your own. You should do a DNA test to see what you really are and then claim THAT...not claim something that is NOT YOU. Aetas are AUSTRONESIAN by DNA.

      Philippine heritage is more diverse than you think. We didn't just originate from Aetas. Fact is, the first people that were acknowledged as Filipinos were decendants of the island-to-island dwellers in the farther east of the Pacific. Pacific Islanders some would say. Some of them settled in the mid part of the Philippines on the regions from the place we now call South Luzon down to Cebu-the birth place of Lapu-lapu, the first folks discovered by the Spanish invaders and were addressed as Indios. Until eventually, Filipinos. Our Muslim heritage came from the Southern part of the Philippines descended from Malays, they stayed there on the South pretty much because that's where their ancestors were close and because Christianity was spreading throughout the regions first invaded by the Spaniards. Lastly, our African heritage came from the Aetas of the Northern Luzon. It is an accepted fact that they were the first to settle on our lands before waters occupied what we consider now as our coasts. So no, we didn't orignate from Aetas. At least not every Filipino descended from them. There is a stigma with their color that's a fact, but there's nothing wrong with wanting a fairer skin when most (and the first to be acknowledged as) Filipinos exchanged genes and bred with our colonizers (Spaniards), for more than 300 years, who were white. Not to mention our Japanese and American invaders (also white).

You can already hardly see her aeta side so what do you think her kids will look like ? 🤔 her kids will likely look like your typical Filipino and then he or she will go on to have children with a Filipino man or woman and guess what ? That child is going to say “I’m not black” do I look black ? Once that lady is dead there’s no longer a noticeable black connection even though it’s still in their blood.

They want to colonize you and make you forget your old ways the ways of your people's the ways of your culture, they want you to embrace the European culture or the Western culture.

      They're ancient Africans also. Other groups in the Pacific trace their ancestries to Taiwan thousands of years ago, so what's wrong with tracing the origins of the Melanesian people to Africa. In addition, the aboriginal peoples of the Americas are linked to migrants from Mongolia and other parts of Asia, and they've been here maybe as long as 20,000 years. Africans have been in the Caribbean only 500 years, as opposed to tens of thousands, but we are Caribbean, and African. Finally, based on their looks, most will link them to Africa, just like people will link a white Australian thousands of years from now to Europe (If humans survive that long).
