As a black South African that experienced apartheid(Jim crow) bieng called by a bi word, I'm not going to mention it in this platform, I can truely understand why you left the US.... When I look at both of you I just see myself...... It feels good see some of you coming back home ❤
You two are doing great job. I was born in western Kenya and moved to the US after high school to attend college, I was moving from an Africa village to one of the biggest cities in America, the only city I had been to was Kisumu, the third largest city in Kenya. My first trip to Nairobi was to process my passport and second time was to pick my visa and fly out. MY first culture shock in US was the heavy burden that came with my new acquired identity, I never fully realized I was Black until I landed in America, I knew my skin was physically black and so was everybody around me in my village and we knew we had other people whose skin color was brown and white. Most of these white and brown people in Kenya lived in cities and once’s in a while we would have one living among us in the village as peace corps or NGO worker. The hierarchy of my identity was very clear, I knew I belonged clan, ethnicity (tribe), nationality a Kenyan and an African. I was not totally blind to Eurocentric racism because my father and his fellow generation had told me what it was like in colonial Kenya and I was living in neocolonial Kenya but nothing prepared me to the intensity and pervasiveness of American racism, boy it is out this world, it is deeply imbedded into American DNA. My first encounter with racism was in Walgreen store, there were this open samples of cologne perfumes for promotion and people coming in were trying them and I went and tried one and I saw this white guy looking and following me around. I paid for my detergent soap and on my way out this dude stopped me took me to back store and parted me to my bare skin in very humiliating way and found nothing, he told me the reason was because I was opening store merchandise. The second time I was walking from my studio to school with loaded bookbag, before I knew it, I was surrounded by two police cruiser, with guns blazing I was told to put my hands up and lean In front of the car, what saved me was my school bag, full of books and onlooking white students shouting he is our new African student. I was told I fitted a profile of a guy who had mugged a lady across the street. One of the white student later told me to watch my dressing, I could be mistaken for inner city bad people, who are the inner city bad people, why were these whites shouting to police he is an African student. The police saw one thing a young N --- but these students wanted the police to know he was a naïve innocent harmless type of a N---. A lot Africans in US fall for this trap of divide and rule, run into white suburbs only to run into racial trouble later there. It does not matter where you are from as longer as you have black skin you a target of racism. We tend to dweller or sometimes confuse individual prejudice with racism, it not about somebody calling you an N word, it is the systemically institutionalized racism that you encounter in American institutions, in policing, banking, housing, schooling (education) and at work (cooperate America). It takes a long time for immigrates to understand this level of racism. Like many immigrates I did not understand the nuance of American race history, slavery, reconstruction, Jim crow and civil rights movement but I was a lucky immigrant. I arrived in US at the beginning of June and the start of my fall semester was in September, I had a lot time to burn and luckily the guy who had moved from my studio was an African American scholar, he left behind two boxes full of African American books and magazines. I had ebony, essence, Chicago defender, Black dispatch, negro world, Final call, freedom Journal and any AA books you can think about. I went through a lot books but three stood out, the Malcom X autobiography by Alex Haley, Black boy by Richard Wright and Afrocentrism by Molefi Asante. These books changed my trajectory, though I was science major, anytime I would have latitude of picking a humanity or social science course I would always seek advice of AA department. Molefi Afrocentric and Eurocentric worldview was powerful and draw me to the school of Afrocentrism at Temple University Philadelphia University, I become more African in US than when I was in Kenya. While many Africans troop to US with a lot ignorance about the state of AA in US, they encounter a lot AA with little knowledge of Africa and that is the born of friction. My advice for Africans in US to seek and learn from AA who understand the coded system and for AA to learn about the continent and those with means to visit or relocate to African. Its exciting time to see AA coming back home, we need each other and we have a lot to give to each other for benefit of future generation.
I've been in more rural Tharaka County, Kenya since 2020 with no plans on returning. America had 500 years to get it right but to no avail... If I were to be asked the questions related to why I came to Africa I would tell them the following: I AM AT PEACE I am at peace because Africa has embraced me. I am at peace because I’m busy fulfilling my life mission. I am at peace because people around me are at peace. I am at peace because I’m surrounded by beauty. I am at peace because the people and resources I need for this mission will continue to magnetically flow to me with little effort. I am at peace because the rainy season has returned to Kenya after prolonged drought. I am at peace because I can legally collect rain water for personal use unlike other unnamed countries. I am at peace because the water I collected contains no fluoride, the chemical German Nazis used to pacify jailed Jews. I am at peace because the rain contains no toxic metallic nanoparticulates sprayed by government or commercial aircraft. I am at peace because I can use the water to grow grain, organic fruit, or honey-ginger laced Kenyan coffee. I am at peace because the rivers are full and brimming with fish and fertile sediment. I am at peace because “green” has broken out all over. I am at peace because Kitty Cat is my new guardian angel who deftly travels other realms. …without me. I am at peace because Love is the primary force in this universe to which I humbly yield. Mechanical/Solar Engineer, Prof. Oku Singer PS: I made a video of this testament at inventionschool dot tech/i-am-at-peace/
Great conversation family. We deserve better as African Americans. We have options outside of America in our Motherland. Let's roll up our sleeves and make things better for ALL of us. ❤️🖤💚
The reasons why African Americans leave the US for Africa are multi faceted, with the crux being blatant racism. A great deal of Africans have not experienced this situation ever in their lives and its hard to contemplate initially. The unfortunate side effects of relocating to the States is what you will go through in some form, and how that impacts your life. At what price is your peace and respect and humanity being set aside for the almighty dollar ? As a person who lived there 62 years, its just not worth it.
A lot of Africans are much more exposed than you will ever be . You are the one not exposed because you were born and bred in one and only one country. You have no outside knowledge to compare with . Africans on the other hand have been traveling for decades and decades and have a lot of comparisons to make. . Who are the ones exposed, Africans or you? Since when did AA start traveling? Don't start it.
On Saturday the NAACP board of Directors put out a travel advisory warns Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans. Things are getting extremely dangerous for us here my friend. I will be back in Rwanda for 6 months in October to prepare my move permanently to the continent.
We also face discrimination when we wear our hair in its natural form such as braids, afros, cornrows, twists, etc.. We are told our hair is not professional or a distraction. When I come to Rwanda I will open an african american trauma museum.
We are coming next year 2024; We have been planning this move for 3 years; We currently live in Atlanta. My wife and I will see you soon! Thanks for all your videos. Garry Williams
Let's not forget about the African brother who lived in NYC and was shot 41 times because the policeman thought his cell phone was a gun..I think his name was Amadullo Diallo...sorry if the spelling of his first name is wrong but you can look it up...he lived in the Bronx, NY...he was an African...it doesn't matter if you are African...African American or from the Islands...we are all considered BLACK
I remember that. Four cops in plain clothes that came out an unmarked vehicle did the shooting. They shot 41 times and Amadou was hit 19 times. All He had were his keys in his hands and his wallet in his pocket. To them, they thought he looked suspicious. He was in front the door to his apartment building where he lived. By some, he was portrayed as an ignorant, illegal African immigrant who didn’t follow police instructions and probably didn’t understand English. His mother later testified that he spoke & understood 7 languages. Because people protested,the cops were put on trial. However, they were all found “not guilty.” It was years ago; but, I’ve never forgotten his name.
I ge the same attitude about me leaving America from my Jamaican-American family members who still live in America and will defend that country no matter how much it oppresses us daily. I also get the same attitude and questions from my Jamaican pple in Jamaica where I live now. They don't comprehend our situation even after I tell them about the daily multiple deletions of our people by the gubment (po po) in America. They still want to go there for the American dream.
@@TheResidentialTourists Yes that dream is a crazy vi0lent nightmare. 🤪😓 I am so happy that I left that place. But recovering from the trauma of living there is not easy.
Great presentation. Very emotional. You made a good decision, especially for the safety of your kids and for your mental health. When growing up in a rural village in Kenya, I always fantasised about living in the US and thought it was the real land of opportunity, milk, and honey. I thought AAs were happy and living a great life. Then I watched Phillip Scott videos on police brutality and was shocked out of my day dreams. Then George Flloyd happened. I lost all respect for Am£rica and swore never to set foot. Karibu nyumbani Afrika; Ndugu, Dada na Watoto wetu. Watoto wenyu ni watoto wetu. Tunampenda sana. (Welcome back home Afrika; Brother, Sister and your Children. Your children are our children too. We love you.)
Good video. Africans need to hear this type of information because they have not experience subtle or blatant racism in Africa. So, if they travel to the US they need to know what they may experience. Years ago an African friend of mine moved to the US for work. I did not know him at the time. But a mutual friend told me that he got hired at a former racist company that I use to worked for in Houston, TX. He also married a white woman in the US. I told the mutual friend to tell him to call me so I could give him an indication on what to expect from this company. Well he never did call me. Months later we happened to meet at a work location where our two companies had interest and we exchanged work phone numbers. Well about two weeks later he called me from his personal phone. So, I knew he had a problem. He told me that the racist company fired him. He did not make it through his 90 day probation. One Friday, he said his trainer told him that he had a dental appointment and that he could go home early and so he did. Monday morning the big boss called him in his office and fired him for leaving early. Also, he said that the company had a Safety Banquet at night earlier in the week so he decided to take his white wife. Well the management at this racist company did not like interracial marriages so that was another reason he thinks they let him go. So that's the type of stuff many African Americans face in the US on a daily basis.
Thanks for sharing the touching stories family. Down here in South Africa we are fully behind you. Please help us to build this continent and to make Africa great. Thank you.
I'm absolutely in tears right now. It's so heartbreaking not only the here but to live it day today🥺😭💔 I thank you guys so much for this video because this will needed. You guys have put this together very well and very clear for all of us. We want to unite with our African brothers and sisters on my homeland and Bill one another.
Residential tourists, loved this episode. It's mostly people in the last African states to gain freedom through a struggle, that fully appreciate institutional racism. The fact that Africa has an averagely young population, leads to racial discrimination being forgotten due to institutional memory not retaining it. Again, teaching our history is important to ensure lessons learnt are always remembered. Definitely don't want sour milk and corn syrup if I can have milk and honey 😂😂😂.
I'm so sorry about what you went through as a child 😢 That must have been so traumatic. I lived in Canada for 20 years before moving to Rwanda. Canada is America Lite - similar, but more subtle issues except if you're indigenous - they go through horrible racism in some cities. As someone who was born in Nigeria, I'm grateful that we've started having these conversations. Growing up, you only heard about the glamour of the West. Nothing about its pale, terrifying underbelly.
Educating others is your calling. Keep it up sister and brother. I was particularly moved about the issue of police brutality and endemic racism. Keep preaching the gospel
Subscriber from Uganda 🇺🇬. The experiences and attitudes of Africans and African Americans couldn't be further apart. Much work is required to bridge the gap. Great content.
I agree some, disagree some. When you take walk in Kampala, are you hypervigilant? When driving and you are stopped by police do you skip a heart beat and start to pray? The experiences are not the same.
I wholeheartedly feel you I left US after 30 years living in 2018 back to Ethiopia where I was born and raised until teenage years. But I was too idle and can't sustain to live longer with my savings without a job. 2. When you try to tell those people in Ethiopia they ain't trying to hear you. They think you just trying to discourage them. Thanks to COVID19 and technology now they are able to see a lot of things on social media specially after George Floyd.
Congratulations on 10k!!!!🥳💖🎉✨🥳I always watch to the end because I don't want to miss any golden nuggets! Africans don't realize how hard it is for us to save money to get out (and stay out!) of here. I watch you because you guys give me hope. As long as I don't give up hope, it is possible. Nelson Mandela said "It always seems impossible until it is done". With God, all things are possible. 🙏🏽
This is one of the greatest videos about the black experience in America that I have ever seen. This video should be played as all US embassies around the world as part of their orientation to America. I loved it so much I shared it with my family back in Africa. I wonder if they will believe what they are hearing! Thanks again my brother and friend LaMont and your beautiful wife!!
Congratulations on your reaching 10,000 subscribers! I too am a subscriber to your channel from the U.S. and truly appreciate today's content. Peace and blessings!
I told many Africans about the horrifics towards black people in America, but they tell me that I am jealous of them coming to America because they succeed better than us. I had to laugh because they don't listen. I know some Africans in America who are dying to get back to Africa, but now they can't afford it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Africa is on the rise you made the right decision relocating to Africa infact most western nations loot African resources to enrich themselves but this has come to an end and it is Africa that will benefit from its resources,much love from kenya
I would love to work with you guys, when you said this is your country remember it's your too. We can be very creative to deal with the obstacles and make things happen. When you said allow us I am thinking you're allowed just have to analyze the situation find a work around for it and attract the help you need. I myself have experimented with our community here in US and I learned how to build trust to have people behind me for changes I want to bring. Let's talk
As an African American I greatly appreciate your honesty and transparency in regards to life in America. Unfortunately information shared is true. I look forward to my trip to continent of Africa to inhale the fresh air and experience life without systemic racism.
I agree 100% with Absolutely EVERYTHING!!! The description of the current state of life in the USA is A NIGHTMARE for black people. Our children never have the opportunity to really be children, the adults and parents of black boys live in a constant state of fear, so for the people that want to come to America, at what cost???
What kind of milk and honey do you want? Good question. You folks are beautiful, It's really sad a community has to go through all that. How I wish every African American could get the chance to spend at least 3 weeks in Africa at least just to get the experience. Am from Kenya, and we Africans we love you so much we want the best for you, how we wish those abroad could change their perception about HOME. This is your home, you don't have to think twice about getting here. DO IT! It is safe here, it is very clean here (water, air, earth) all clean, We have good food. The people are wonderful. Welcome home my brothers and sisters, Welcome.
Wow 😢 the APPEAL both of you made at the end of the video had me in tears. For Africa to realize it’s dream it need’s its family in Diaspora. As an African living in the US I hear you and I wish our brothers and sisters in Africa get it cause many do NOT get it. Over $2 trillion dollars wealth owned by black people. Please come together black people!!!
Thank you for doing this I will share with those who ask why? You also have a subscriber in Egypt 😊. I never experienced overt racism but definitely in some actions and the undertones of institutional racism. I remember teaching my son as a young black male in America how to conduct himself even though most of his friends at the time were "white" that the rules are different for him. When he did get stopped (looking like someone they were looking for) they the police called us and said how well spoken and articulate he was and the good school he went too. Also what you mentioned about the police having guns and you feeling safe. I actually feel safer with police carrying guns here, knowing that most people are not just running around with guns in their pockets. I don't see that you are being negative about America it's just the truth. I don't understand why people just do not like hearing the truth. What's the problem. Keep sharing it can help someone to have an informed decision. Just because my overall experience has been fine, it does not mean I should not acknowledge the plight of others.
I'm a continental African and that was a very touching video. I appreciate you and wish you success in all you endeavour ....... as I do for all of my fam who want to repatriate home. Peace.
Facts. Facts. All facts. Just to hear your list is triggering. In some way or another, we’ve all felt or experienced something. We deal with it in the US but have to put up with scams and theft and issues in the Motherland. We’re called muzungu. We don’t fit in. We’re looked at as a “cash cow “. Africa needs to do better by us.
Good that you share your Thoughts on this very important Issue. Because in Africa, we're made to feel that. You Guys in America must be Lucky for your Parents and Grand Parents to be in America and you being been born in America. Not many of we Africans Brothers and Sisters are aware of the Reality. I just wish we Africans know more about the History (Past and Present Events).
Dear Brother and sister thank you so much I feel Validation and inspiration my Allah continue to bless you and your family. And maybe one day I'll get to meet you in person.
Nothing but true, i am a Congolese living in the USA and experienced racism at work, where the administration will throw a baby shower for a white employee but will not do so for a black counterpart.
I currently live in France and it's only when I left Africa I started to think racially. I heard of racism when I was in Africa but didn't understand what it meant really. When all of you are the same color, there's no discrimination based on color, so for instance currently, when I'm walking in the street I always have to think how others are seeing me as many associates black with thieves or criminals or even less educated while in Africa this never happens, you're not judged by the color of your skin. You have to experience this kind of things to understand it and in Africa it doesn't exist in most countries. And even though I wouldn't consider France as a racist country, when you watch TV or follow the politicians you absolutely feel the hatred some people have toward black people and they openly admit it. So when you see the polls results and you walk in the street, you never with who you're walking, who might hate you solely based on your skin color and all of those things that you never ever think about in Africa.
You are so on point , totally agree , not to say Africa is perfect however, there is a difference in the way you are treated. My experience in the US is to long there is not enough time. One thing I can say how so called African Americans was made to go to the back of the bus, many cannot relate to that, also burning of the crosses in melanated people yards by the kkk i can go on about sad stories of hanging ect. So when I'm asked the question why Africa there are many reasons : this is not the end :
When we tell our family members back home they retort, "if life is so hard over there why don't you all come back so we can go there?" I have stopped trying to tell them. No matter how hard you try to tell them they always argue, calling me a liar. I'm sharing this video with some of them.
So question, how much do I need monthly to be really comfortable, not over the top, just really nicely like a 2x2 with 2 full baths and air conditioning?
@@TheResidentialTourists Thank you 👍🏽, I usually ff through long videos but this one was sooo informative, Thank you! I don’t mean I ff through your videos, just in general ☺️
I don't get where the _CONFUSION_ is... 🤣🤣 There certainly is *FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY* in the U.S. But once you have amassed enough wealth... you'd be wise to get outta town while the getting's good! ❤😜❤
I am an Afro American and I will be crazy to NOT go to a country in Africa... I am planning my first visit to an African Country in 2024. I am seeking to obtain residency first and then eventually "Dual Citizenship"
Thanks for posting, very informative. I also wanted to know if Malaria is present where you are and did you worry about it when you left the states. Also the NAACP has just issued a travel advisory for Florida. Stating that Black Americans should be cautious about going there because the Governor has made laws harmful for Blacks. Blacks are always hopeful for change. Some whites in Fl are proud of the Advisory.
What we have to understand is that there is serious mental health and there has always been with those people. There history tells you who they are so just keep well away from them.
I deeply appreciate your honesty About the TRUE reality of living out of Africa in European/North America as people of colour!!! I went to University in America all your saying and warning about are TRUE!! All AFRICANS and all diasporas around the world MUST return to the Continent to heal and rest!! Like everything else it takes patience and understanding of cultures( no comparisons please it kills dreams) find your niche there lots of opportunities on the Continent as it's growing!!!! All they're doing in black communities in America,is the same they've been doing to the Continent damping rubbish unfit for human( politically it's called damping ground) whether it's medicine,expiring food stuff( as examples of refusal to let African countries COVID Vaccines) in addition to the above we have endless coups, leaders assassinations all to continue to distablelise us in order to continue to steal our resources!!!! So All AFRICANS world wide must unite and build your beautiful Continent!!!! YOUR WELCOME HOME our brothers and Sisters!!! All African leaders must open doors to all of you!!! 💯💯💯💯👍🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕🌍🌍🌍🤝🤝✊✊💞💞💞😢😢😅😂 wish you highly successful future in whatever country you choose to live!! We as the first race on planet earth ( chosen by The Almighty Creator GOD) and parents of races, we're tough! YES WE CAN and WE MUST or else we parish and they take our rightful inheritance!!!!!!!! NO🙅🙅🌍
What about the young Black boy in Kansas who knock on the door of White man’s door and got shot twice. As you speak, the NAACP Issues Travel Advisory in Florida for Black and colored people
Kla be ne " kla be ne . My second time watching. I love you guys. America has been branding itself, and its false propoganda about poverty in Africa,,so all the youth strive on getting to the US to make money.. TRust me they come back, they come back.
No one is preventing anyone from sharing their experiences but when some commentators say Africans are not exposed and that is why they travel to the US or Europe , etc then it becomes a problem and we need to tell them that we are more exposed than them. Do they know what majority of African families go through on daily bases? Almost all the Africans in the diaspora are the ones taking cares of the families back home financially. They cater for their parents , siblings, and extended families back home. You don't have such responsibilities in your country because the government, to some degree, do assist. We don't have such safety network in Africa. It is only in South Africa that something similar, to certain extent, do exist. Africans who want to travel know what they want and where they can achieve them . If were in their shoes, I bet you will reason the way they reason and you will also travel to take care of your family.
We are saying they don’t know OUR stories. We are here on the continent and we’ve asked many many locals do they know how we got to America or what life is for black people in America and they said no. Your argument is void sir. Get out of your emotions
Welcome hm family. You are not refugees. Africa is your birth place. All your account about the United States 🇺🇸 is true. 🇳🇬 in the house. New subscriber.
As South African, i honestly don't understand people living rhe biggest economy in the world to any country in Africa 🤷🏽♂️ if i was American, i would never leave the richest country in the world to any country in Africa unless i am a multimillionaire, dollar multimillionaire 🤷🏽♂️other than that i aint leaving USA😅 i see you all moving to South Africa, ita beautiful to watch, but i would grab any opportunity to work in USA.
Can you kindly be specific to the country in Africa rather than just say, Africa! you are in Rwanda. Rwanda is very different from Uganda, DRC, Tanzania, Togo, Gabon etc...I am working hard to educate the minds in North America that Africa is not a country!
@@TheResidentialTourists I started to watch. I believe that the title should be specific to a country! I gave the same advice to Mr. Beast! One of his video was about South Africa, yet he used Africa.
🇯🇲LEEGAL POET🇺🇬 Song of a Blackman: In a land of cultural imperialism, where black minds get lost in marginalized double consciousness. I sing my songs in the realm of oppression in a five sided bird cage with passion. Where powerless crows get locked away chirping, like Nubian nightingales swimming in state violence. For the crime of being racialized butterflies. Exploited from a very young age to be denied substantial freedoms of being useful. Excluded from being normalized, subject to state control for lack of autonomy. Chained nailed in cultural imperialism. I was criminalize, attacked unprovoked with no revoke. For the crime of being a racialized butterfly. Family destroyed, and life stolen. Socially murdered; then raised from the dead like the phoenix, reborn in a new form as the Legal Poet. Hated. Gang banged. Raped, by the bane Triad of the poisonous root. The Bar, the Bench, and the Blues; whom think they are cool to enforce personal missions, for self proclaimed gods of law above the lawful rules. For the crime of being a racialized butterfly. Legally bullied. Robbed of evidence, without recompense; in the Ministry of Justice, palace of fallacies. The three stygian witches, borne from the river styx spawn there judgement outside the vail of ignorance in defiance of the original position. Crucified by the Justinian trinity, with three vindictive spikes in the holy of holies in the inner sanctum of the court room. For the crime of being a racialized butterfly. Threaten with a broken neck for not worshiping the god orange. Then exiled from human rights, in courts wanting in justice. To enforced the Blackman’s curse, and reap society’s worse in practice of systemic prejudice. Now I sing my song locked away in a five faced bird cage with passion. For the crime of being a racialized butterfly. Excluded away, exploited, with the five faces of oppression. Sentence, to being lost. Powerless, and suppress without remorse. While veiled on a bed of nails in double consciousness; just chirping my rhymes as bleeding lines like a prison butterfly. Chirp chirp. Chirp chirp. Chirp chirp. The innocence cry. Innocence cry...

You come from the US to Africa and you are able to live at a cozy hotel and decide on the type of food to order. How many locals can even afford a bottle of water from a the cheapest hotel around their communities? How many of them can afford 2 square meals a day?
So you still going with the CNN narrative that africans are jus hungry 😂😂😂 the locals can still live a good comfortable life some are rich some are poor like everywhere else
Everytime I hear about Trayvaughn I get sad. He and my son were on the same optimist football team. His dad was one of the coaches. That shook me to my core. When George Zimmerman got away with killing him, nothing was the same after that. There’s this low grade fear and vigilance you live with here.

Guys we love your channel but you must invest in a better phone/camera. You guys are doing yourselves a great injustice to not allow your subscribers to see you in a greater way. No focus, blurriness and not being able to see the beautiful background. Maybe it's not even the phone/camera, maybe it's your settings. Please help us out.
So you left and now you give up all the information? Or is this just home for the rest like the Earth is and should be for everyone. So who is the real enemy is what we should be asking ourselves? And what's the solution?

A lot Africans in US fall for this trap of divide and rule, run into white suburbs only to run into racial trouble later there. It does not matter where you are from as longer as you have black skin you a target of racism.
We tend to dweller or sometimes confuse individual prejudice with racism, it not about somebody calling you an N word, it is the systemically institutionalized racism that you encounter in American institutions, in policing, banking, housing, schooling (education) and at work (cooperate America). It takes a long time for immigrates to understand this level of racism. Like many immigrates I did not understand the nuance of American race history, slavery, reconstruction, Jim crow and civil rights movement but I was a lucky immigrant. I arrived in US at the beginning of June and the start of my fall semester was in September, I had a lot time to burn and luckily the guy who had moved from my studio was an African American scholar, he left behind two boxes full of African American books and magazines. I had ebony, essence, Chicago defender, Black dispatch, negro world, Final call, freedom Journal and any AA books you can think about. I went through a lot books but three stood out, the Malcom X autobiography by Alex Haley, Black boy by Richard Wright and Afrocentrism by Molefi Asante. These books changed my trajectory, though I was science major, anytime I would have latitude of picking a humanity or social science course I would always seek advice of AA department. Molefi Afrocentric and Eurocentric worldview was powerful and draw me to the school of Afrocentrism at Temple University Philadelphia University, I become more African in US than when I was in Kenya.
While many Africans troop to US with a lot ignorance about the state of AA in US, they encounter a lot AA with little knowledge of Africa and that is the born of friction. My advice for Africans in US to seek and learn from AA who understand the coded system and for AA to learn about the continent and those with means to visit or relocate to African. Its exciting time to see AA coming back home, we need each other and we have a lot to give to each other for benefit of future generation.
Amazing comment! Thanks for sharing your story with us!
I've been in more rural Tharaka County, Kenya since 2020 with no plans on returning. America had 500 years to get it right but to no avail... If I were to be asked the questions related to why I came to Africa I would tell them the following:
I AM AT PEACE
I am at peace because Africa has embraced me.
I am at peace because I’m busy fulfilling my life mission.
I am at peace because people around me are at peace.
I am at peace because I’m surrounded by beauty.
I am at peace because the people and resources I need for this mission will continue to magnetically flow to me with little effort.
I am at peace because the rainy season has returned to Kenya after prolonged drought.
I am at peace because I can legally collect rain water for personal use unlike other unnamed countries.
I am at peace because the water I collected contains no fluoride, the chemical German Nazis used to pacify jailed Jews.
I am at peace because the rain contains no toxic metallic nanoparticulates sprayed by government or commercial aircraft.
I am at peace because I can use the water to grow grain, organic fruit, or honey-ginger laced Kenyan coffee.
I am at peace because the rivers are full and brimming with fish and fertile sediment.
I am at peace because “green” has broken out all over.
I am at peace because Kitty Cat is my new guardian angel who deftly travels other realms.
…without me.
I am at peace because Love is the primary force in this universe to which I humbly yield.
Mechanical/Solar Engineer, Prof. Oku Singer
PS: I made a video of this testament at inventionschool dot tech/i-am-at-peace/
Tharaka County...Wooow Thats Kenya Rural Proper
After you tell them all that, then they turn around and say you're not African, you are a mzungu or toobob

Well said!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great conversation family. We deserve better as African Americans. We have options outside of America in our Motherland. Let's roll up our sleeves and make things better for ALL of us. ❤️🖤💚
Definitely
The reasons why African Americans leave the US for Africa are multi faceted, with the crux being blatant racism. A great deal of Africans have not experienced this situation ever in their lives and its hard to contemplate initially. The unfortunate side effects of relocating to the States is what you will go through in some form, and how that impacts your life. At what price is your peace and respect and humanity being set aside for the almighty dollar ? As a person who lived there 62 years, its just not worth it.
They better not come to Africa where once they had respect because things has changed and there are seen as promoting LGBTQ.
Who controls the media and the teaching materials in schools.
BLacks should declare themselves independent and create their own schools and stopped this integration agenda .
Learn from this example of western society.
You all are making me cry. I told my creator to not let me die in the land of my people captivity
World is big.
Glad that you've made this real talk, coz lots of fellow Africans don't know this, they're not exposed, they only see glamour of Hollywood.
Exactly
A lot of Africans are much more exposed than you will ever be . You are the one not exposed because you were born and bred in one and only one country. You have no outside knowledge to compare with . Africans on the other hand have been traveling for decades and decades and have a lot of comparisons to make. . Who are the ones exposed, Africans or you? Since when did AA start traveling? Don't start it.
On Saturday the NAACP board of Directors put out a travel advisory warns Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans. Things are getting extremely dangerous for us here my friend. I will be back in Rwanda for 6 months in October to prepare my move permanently to the continent.
Welcome back!
We also face discrimination when we wear our hair in its natural form such as braids, afros, cornrows, twists, etc.. We are told our hair is not professional or a distraction. When I come to Rwanda I will open an african american trauma museum.
We need it. We call it America PTSD
Great. Afrikans need to learn the history of AAs.
We are coming next year 2024; We have been planning this move for 3 years; We currently live in Atlanta. My wife and I will see you soon! Thanks for all your videos. Garry Williams
Let's not forget about the African brother who lived in NYC and was shot 41 times because the policeman thought his cell phone was a gun..I think his name was Amadullo Diallo...sorry if the spelling of his first name is wrong but you can look it up...he lived in the Bronx, NY...he was an African...it doesn't matter if you are African...African American or from the Islands...we are all considered BLACK
Exactly
Yes, Amadou Diallo
I remember that. Four cops in plain clothes that came out an unmarked vehicle did the shooting. They shot 41 times and Amadou was hit 19 times. All He had were his keys in his hands and his wallet in his pocket. To them, they thought he looked suspicious. He was in front the door to his apartment building where he lived. By some, he was portrayed as an ignorant, illegal African immigrant who didn’t follow police instructions and probably didn’t understand English. His mother later testified that he spoke & understood 7 languages. Because people protested,the cops were put on trial. However, they were all found “not guilty.” It was years ago; but, I’ve never forgotten his name.
Don't forget Abner Louima, the Hatian Man who got beat up and sodomized by the NYPD.
@@dakanu yes...I forgot about that brother
I ge the same attitude about me leaving America from my Jamaican-American family members who still live in America and will defend that country no matter how much it oppresses us daily.
I also get the same attitude and questions from my Jamaican pple in Jamaica where I live now. They don't comprehend our situation even after I tell them about the daily multiple deletions of our people by the gubment (po po) in America. They still want to go there for the American dream.
The Dream is a harsh reality
@@TheResidentialTourists
Yes that dream is a crazy vi0lent nightmare. 🤪😓
I am so happy that I left that place. But recovering from the trauma of living there is not easy.
Great presentation. Very emotional. You made a good decision, especially for the safety of your kids and for your mental health. When growing up in a rural village in Kenya, I always fantasised about living in the US and thought it was the real land of opportunity, milk, and honey. I thought AAs were happy and living a great life. Then I watched Phillip Scott videos on police brutality and was shocked out of my day dreams. Then George Flloyd happened. I lost all respect for Am£rica and swore never to set foot. Karibu nyumbani Afrika; Ndugu, Dada na Watoto wetu. Watoto wenyu ni watoto wetu. Tunampenda sana. (Welcome back home Afrika; Brother, Sister and your Children. Your children are our children too. We love you.)
Good video. Africans need to hear this type of information because they have not experience subtle or blatant racism in Africa. So, if they travel to the US they need to know what they may experience. Years ago an African friend of mine moved to the US for work. I did not know him at the time. But a mutual friend told me that he got hired at a former racist company that I use to worked for in Houston, TX. He also married a white woman in the US. I told the mutual friend to tell him to call me so I could give him an indication on what to expect from this company. Well he never did call me.
Months later we happened to meet at a work location where our two companies had interest and we exchanged work phone numbers. Well about two weeks later he called me from his personal phone. So, I knew he had a problem. He told me that the racist company fired him. He did not make it through his 90 day probation. One Friday, he said his trainer told him that he had a dental appointment and that he could go home early and so he did. Monday morning the big boss called him in his office and fired him for leaving early. Also, he said that the company had a Safety Banquet at night earlier in the week so he decided to take his white wife. Well the management at this racist company did not like interracial marriages so that was another reason he thinks they let him go. So that's the type of stuff many African Americans face in the US on a daily basis.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing the touching stories family. Down here in South Africa we are fully behind you. Please help us to build this continent and to make Africa great. Thank you.
We’re coming soon to visit SA!
Very sad 😭. Listening to you guys makes me cry as a grown man. God is watching everything and their days are coming. Stay strong family ❤
I'm absolutely in tears right now. It's so heartbreaking not only the here but to live it day today🥺😭💔 I thank you guys so much for this video because this will needed. You guys have put this together very well and very clear for all of us. We want to unite with our African brothers and sisters on my homeland and Bill one another.
Absolutely
Thanks so much @ UK n African by birth . Love everything you had to say. Hopefully all will be well with us all.
Residential tourists, loved this episode. It's mostly people in the last African states to gain freedom through a struggle, that fully appreciate institutional racism. The fact that Africa has an averagely young population, leads to racial discrimination being forgotten due to institutional memory not retaining it. Again, teaching our history is important to ensure lessons learnt are always remembered.
Definitely don't want sour milk and corn syrup if I can have milk and honey 😂😂😂.
I'm so sorry about what you went through as a child 😢 That must have been so traumatic. I lived in Canada for 20 years before moving to Rwanda. Canada is America Lite - similar, but more subtle issues except if you're indigenous - they go through horrible racism in some cities. As someone who was born in Nigeria, I'm grateful that we've started having these conversations. Growing up, you only heard about the glamour of the West. Nothing about its pale, terrifying underbelly.
Yes we have to start sharing the truth. We love our home countries but there’s a lot that comes with that. Thanks sis
Educating others is your calling. Keep it up sister and brother. I was particularly moved about the issue of police brutality and endemic racism. Keep preaching the gospel
Thank you
I'm so glad the algorithm brought me here. This is my first introduction to your content. I love your sincerity! Kept it up! New sub🎉❤
Karibu to the channel!
I was there in Feb 2023; we are so excited. Please know that your message resonates with a lot of people.
Thank you
Subscriber from Uganda 🇺🇬. The experiences and attitudes of Africans and African Americans couldn't be further apart. Much work is required to bridge the gap. Great content.
Agreed and thank you
I agree some, disagree some. When you take walk in Kampala, are you hypervigilant? When driving and you are stopped by police do you skip a heart beat and start to pray? The experiences are not the same.
I wholeheartedly feel you I left US after 30 years living in 2018 back to Ethiopia where I was born and raised until teenage years. But I was too idle and can't sustain to live longer with my savings without a job.
2. When you try to tell those people in Ethiopia they ain't trying to hear you. They think you just trying to discourage them.
Thanks to COVID19 and technology now they are able to see a lot of things on social media specially after George Floyd.
Congratulations on 10k!!!!🥳💖🎉✨🥳I always watch to the end because I don't want to miss any golden nuggets! Africans don't realize how hard it is for us to save money to get out (and stay out!) of here. I watch you because you guys give me hope. As long as I don't give up hope, it is possible. Nelson Mandela said "It always seems impossible until it is done". With God, all things are possible. 🙏🏽
We make the impossible possible. Put energy on it and do it!
This is one of the greatest videos about the black experience in America that I have ever seen.
This video should be played as all US embassies around the world as part of their orientation to America.
I loved it so much I shared it with my family back in Africa. I wonder if they will believe what they are hearing!
Thanks again my brother and friend LaMont and your beautiful wife!!
Thank you so much
Another great conversation fam, keep it up!
Thank you again for watching!
Congratulations on your reaching 10,000 subscribers! I too am a subscriber to your channel from the U.S. and truly appreciate today's content.
Peace and blessings!
Welcome to the channel!
I told many Africans about the horrifics towards black people in America, but they tell me that I am jealous of them coming to America because they succeed better than us. I had to laugh because they don't listen. I know some Africans in America who are dying to get back to Africa, but now they can't afford it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just reading through the comments and most Africans that are in the states or Europe want to come back to their native land badly.
Africa is on the rise you made the right decision relocating to Africa infact most western nations loot African resources to enrich themselves but this has come to an end and it is Africa that will benefit from its resources,much love from kenya
I would love to work with you guys, when you said this is your country remember it's your too. We can be very creative to deal with the obstacles and make things happen. When you said allow us I am thinking you're allowed just have to analyze the situation find a work around for it and attract the help you need. I myself have experimented with our community here in US and I learned how to build trust to have people behind me for changes I want to bring. Let's talk
Good to have you in Africa to help us ward off such confusion trying to penetrate Africa (LGBTQ)
As an African American I greatly appreciate your honesty and transparency in regards to life in America. Unfortunately information shared is true. I look forward to my trip to continent of Africa to inhale the fresh air and experience life without systemic racism.
Karibu to Africa
I agree 100% with Absolutely EVERYTHING!!! The description of the current state of life in the USA is A NIGHTMARE for black people. Our children never have the opportunity to really be children, the adults and parents of black boys live in a constant state of fear, so for the people that want to come to America, at what cost???
Scarey
What kind of milk and honey do you want? Good question. You folks are beautiful, It's really sad a community has to go through all that.
How I wish every African American could get the chance to spend at least 3 weeks in Africa at least just to get the experience.
Am from Kenya, and we Africans we love you so much we want the best for you, how we wish those abroad could change their perception about HOME.
This is your home, you don't have to think twice about getting here. DO IT!
It is safe here,
it is very clean here (water, air, earth) all clean,
We have good food.
The people are wonderful.
Welcome home my brothers and sisters, Welcome.
Thank you
Winona Sackey from Jackson NJ, everything is true. Good luck my brother and sister.
Thank you for your sincerity; a moving video
Thanks for watching
Wow 😢 the APPEAL both of you made at the end of the video had me in tears. For Africa to realize it’s dream it need’s its family in Diaspora. As an African living in the US I hear you and I wish our brothers and sisters in Africa get it cause many do NOT get it. Over $2 trillion dollars wealth owned by black people. Please come together black people!!!
Yesss
Great stuff guys. Let's keep the conversation alive @Justin
If you don't speak about your pain, they will kill you and say that you enjoyed it.
Thank you for doing this I will share with those who ask why? You also have a subscriber in Egypt 😊. I never experienced overt racism but definitely in some actions and the undertones of institutional racism. I remember teaching my son as a young black male in America how to conduct himself even though most of his friends at the time were "white" that the rules are different for him. When he did get stopped (looking like someone they were looking for) they the police called us and said how well spoken and articulate he was and the good school he went too.
Also what you mentioned about the police having guns and you feeling safe. I actually feel safer with police carrying guns here, knowing that most people are not just running around with guns in their pockets.
I don't see that you are being negative about America it's just the truth. I don't understand why people just do not like hearing the truth. What's the problem. Keep sharing it can help someone to have an informed decision.
Just because my overall experience has been fine, it does not mean I should not acknowledge the plight of others.
Thank you so much
I'm a continental African and that was a very touching video. I appreciate you and wish you success in all you endeavour ....... as I do for all of my fam who want to repatriate home. Peace.
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
Facts. Facts. All facts. Just to hear your list is triggering. In some way or another, we’ve all felt or experienced something. We deal with it in the US but have to put up with scams and theft and issues in the Motherland. We’re called muzungu. We don’t fit in. We’re looked at as a “cash cow “. Africa needs to do better by us.
It is you who need to put your American mindset aside when you come to Africa.

Good that you share your Thoughts on this very important Issue. Because in Africa, we're made to feel that. You Guys in America must be Lucky for your Parents and Grand Parents to be in America and you being been born in America. Not many of we Africans Brothers and Sisters are aware of the Reality. I just wish we Africans know more about the History (Past and Present Events).
Thank you, we want to know our roots as well
Can I come visit you two? I really like you both and you two have so much wisdom.
Thanks for the conversation.❤❤
Hypersentive and very emotional subject to talk about, but you said it all. Most travelled Africans know what you're saying and they agree. I am one.
Thank you!
Dear Brother and sister thank you so much I feel Validation and inspiration my Allah continue to bless you and your family. And maybe one day I'll get to meet you in person.
Thank you sir! Anything is possible
Love your video from Jackson NJ
Thank you
Nothing but true, i am a Congolese living in the USA and experienced racism at work, where the administration will throw a baby shower for a white employee but will not do so for a black counterpart.
Sounds about right
I currently live in France and it's only when I left Africa I started to think racially. I heard of racism when I was in Africa but didn't understand what it meant really. When all of you are the same color, there's no discrimination based on color, so for instance currently, when I'm walking in the street I always have to think how others are seeing me as many associates black with thieves or criminals or even less educated while in Africa this never happens, you're not judged by the color of your skin. You have to experience this kind of things to understand it and in Africa it doesn't exist in most countries.
And even though I wouldn't consider France as a racist country, when you watch TV or follow the politicians you absolutely feel the hatred some people have toward black people and they openly admit it. So when you see the polls results and you walk in the street, you never with who you're walking, who might hate you solely based on your skin color and all of those things that you never ever think about in Africa.
Wow
I would love to meet you all when I return to Rwanda!!!
Definitely
May you be blessed. May the Most High grant you all the desire of your heart.
Thank you!
You are so on point , totally agree , not to say Africa is perfect however, there is a difference in the way you are treated. My experience in the US is to long there is not enough time. One thing I can say how so called African Americans was made to go to the back of the bus, many cannot relate to that, also burning of the crosses in melanated people yards by the kkk i can go on about sad stories of hanging ect. So when I'm asked the question why Africa there are many reasons : this is not the end :
Yes ma’am
❤ YOU Are A Great Couple ❤
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Many people put America on a high standard and they put other countries on low standard
Heyyy. Explaining to the average African is like talking to a wall. They dont understand that they are already in paradise here in Africa
When we tell our family members back home they retort, "if life is so hard over there why don't you all come back so we can go there?" I have stopped trying to tell them. No matter how hard you try to tell them they always argue, calling me a liar. I'm sharing this video with some of them.
My fav black couple ❤
U let me Laugh out loud when you mentioned kindergarten at 8 yrs. Blessings to u both!
Lol I’m old
Everytime I listen to you guys, it makes me feel like moving to Rwanda.I am retired and wonder if it is too late for me to move.
It’s the best time for you to move. Rwanda perfect for retirees
It's not too late at all, it's the perfect timing for you to live in Paradise in your golden years.
So question, how much do I need monthly to be really comfortable, not over the top, just really nicely like a 2x2 with 2 full baths and air conditioning?

Thanks for posting, very informative. I also wanted to know if Malaria is present where you are and did you worry about it when you left the states. Also the NAACP has just issued a travel advisory for Florida. Stating that Black Americans should be cautious about going there because the Governor has made laws harmful for Blacks. Blacks are always hopeful for change. Some whites in Fl are proud of the Advisory.

Please watch the video
I do watch all your videos. It's the title that I talking about.
We are talking about the entire continent not just Rwanda.
What we have to understand is that there is serious mental health and there has always been with those people. There history tells you who they are so just keep well away from them.
EASIER SAID THAN DONE
Please let us build together the Africa we want , I know it's not easy but we have no choice
Sounds good
They ask me why, I ask them why right back 😃
Congratulations
I deeply appreciate your honesty
About the TRUE reality of living out of Africa in European/North America as people of colour!!! I went to University in America all your saying and warning about are TRUE!! All AFRICANS and all diasporas around the world MUST return to the Continent to heal and rest!! Like everything else it takes patience and understanding of cultures( no comparisons please it kills dreams) find your niche there lots of opportunities on the Continent as it's growing!!!!
All they're doing in black communities in America,is the same they've been doing to the Continent damping rubbish unfit for human( politically it's called damping ground) whether it's medicine,expiring food stuff( as examples of refusal to let African countries COVID Vaccines) in addition to the above we have endless coups, leaders assassinations all to continue to distablelise us in order to continue to steal our resources!!!! So All AFRICANS world wide must unite and build your beautiful Continent!!!!
YOUR WELCOME HOME our brothers and Sisters!!! All African leaders must open doors to all of you!!!

What about the young Black boy in Kansas who knock on the door of White man’s door and got shot twice. As you speak, the NAACP Issues Travel Advisory in Florida for Black and colored people
Wow!
Kla be ne " kla be ne . My second time watching. I love you guys. America has been branding itself, and its false propoganda about poverty in Africa,,so all the youth strive on getting to the US to make money.. TRust me they come back, they come back.
Welcome again
Sorry to hear your story, very sad story , my concern is why is there some black s insisting on remaining? Don't they value their life?
Some are happy where they are. Everyone won’t leave but there is a lot that will.
No you are not crazy and success at what cost
How about those who come to Africa and leave again saying Ghana is not made for them etc?
There’s 53 other countries they can choose. Or anywhere else.
No one is preventing anyone from sharing their experiences but when some commentators say Africans are not exposed and that is why they travel to the US or Europe , etc then it becomes a problem and we need to tell them that we are more exposed than them. Do they know what majority of African families go through on daily bases? Almost all the Africans in the diaspora are the ones taking cares of the families back home financially. They cater for their parents , siblings, and extended families back home. You don't have such responsibilities in your country because the government, to some degree, do assist. We don't have such safety network in Africa. It is only in South Africa that something similar, to certain extent, do exist. Africans who want to travel know what they want and where they can achieve them . If were in their shoes, I bet you will reason the way they reason and you will also travel to take care of your family.
We are saying they don’t know OUR stories. We are here on the continent and we’ve asked many many locals do they know how we got to America or what life is for black people in America and they said no. Your argument is void sir. Get out of your emotions
I really can’t keep up anymore with how they treat our people

Did you watch the video?

🇯🇲LEEGAL POET🇺🇬
Song of a Blackman:
In a land of cultural imperialism,
where black minds
get lost in marginalized
double consciousness.
I sing my songs
in the realm of oppression
in a five sided bird cage with passion.
Where powerless crows get locked away chirping,
like Nubian nightingales swimming in state violence.
For the crime
of being racialized butterflies.
Exploited from a very young age
to be denied substantial freedoms
of being useful.
Excluded from being normalized,
subject to state control
for lack of autonomy.
Chained nailed in cultural imperialism.
I was criminalize,
attacked unprovoked with no revoke.
For the crime
of being a racialized butterfly.
Family destroyed,
and life stolen.
Socially murdered;
then raised from the dead like the phoenix,
reborn in a new form as the Legal Poet.
Hated.
Gang banged.
Raped,
by the bane Triad of the poisonous root.
The Bar,
the Bench,
and the Blues;
whom think they are cool
to enforce personal missions,
for self proclaimed gods of law above the lawful rules.
For the crime
of being a racialized butterfly.
Legally bullied.
Robbed of evidence,
without recompense;
in the Ministry of Justice,
palace of fallacies.
The three stygian witches,
borne from the river styx
spawn there judgement
outside the vail of ignorance
in defiance of the original position.
Crucified by the Justinian trinity,
with three vindictive spikes
in the holy of holies
in the inner sanctum of the court room.
For the crime
of being a racialized butterfly.
Threaten with a broken neck
for not worshiping the god orange.
Then exiled from human rights,
in courts wanting in justice.
To enforced
the Blackman’s curse,
and reap society’s worse
in practice of systemic prejudice.
Now I sing my song
locked away
in a five faced bird cage with passion.
For the crime
of being a racialized butterfly.
Excluded away,
exploited,
with the five faces of oppression.
Sentence,
to being lost.
Powerless,
and suppress without remorse.
While veiled on a bed of nails in double consciousness;
just chirping
my rhymes
as bleeding lines
like a prison butterfly.
Chirp chirp.
Chirp chirp. Chirp chirp.
The innocence cry.

America is the new Babylon the great ie Sodom and Gomorrah… I applaud you on your escape 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
You come from the US to Africa and you are able to live at a cozy hotel and decide on the type of food to order. How many locals can even afford a bottle of water from a the cheapest hotel around their communities? How many of them can afford 2 square meals a day?
You’ve missed the whole point
So you still going with the CNN narrative that africans are jus hungry 😂😂😂 the locals can still live a good comfortable life some are rich some are poor like everywhere else
Yes he does...
Please don’t respond to this bafoon
😐😐😐 perhaps you should listen to the video again sir
Everytime I hear about Trayvaughn I get sad. He and my son were on the same optimist football team. His dad was one of the coaches. That shook me to my core. When George Zimmerman got away with killing him, nothing was the same after that. There’s this low grade fear and vigilance you live with here.
Yes, we were feeling like the time has come
🇿🇼🇯🇲🇺🇬🇪🇹Africa is the mother of all human life, and a black woman is the mother of all our life. This is why our beautiful beloved continent is MAMA AFRICA.🇪🇹🇺🇬🇯🇲🇿🇼
🇿🇦LILY OF THE VALLEY 🇯🇲
…Many have tried to take her
and many have died protecting her.
For the land fights back
in fighting for her Clan.
.
So take me home
to where the animals roam,
and the Stone-Church sits
among the ancient rune.
.
Take me home
to my original home
where mankind was born
in the age of stone.
.
Take me home
to my linguistical home
where all phonetic chirp
is known,
.
and the alphabet hints
at a true “Rosetta-Stone”
in language-sounds
which can be easily found.
.
Take me home
to where the “Tree of Life”
bury her roots in black loam,
.
and “Lucy” left
her beloved nest.
Ten
ten thousand years ago
on her world quest.
.
Take me home
to your realm
where the “Ark of the Covenant” rest
without protest.
.
To be free from the distress
of four hundred years of
being suppress.
So I can truly rest.
.

Please consider improving the quality of your videos for us.
This is quite too low, at least do 720p and above.
Cheers 🥂
The quality is fine, it is the context that we need, thank you
@MZ-X Sure but also the quality is low unless you're using a phone to watch.
Guys we love your channel but you must invest in a better phone/camera. You guys are doing yourselves a great injustice to not allow your subscribers to see you in a greater way. No focus, blurriness and not being able to see the beautiful background. Maybe it's not even the phone/camera, maybe it's your settings. Please help us out.
Probably the setting. We will do better
My man!!! Now that's what um talk’n bout! I'll see y'all soon. Moving to Motherland in January 2024. Would like to meet with you guys...
Karibu to Africa
So he came out his house because he was scared
So you left and now you give up all the information? Or is this just home for the rest like the Earth is and should be for everyone. So who is the real enemy is what we should be asking ourselves? And what's the solution?
We discovered that the locals don’t know about us or our history in America. So we decided to share.
So True keep up the good work 👍
Right toxic food
Sodom and Gomorrah 2.0
