I FULLY agree with Michael Jai White. I'm Haitian🇭🇹 and I can say my lineage doesn't begin in Haiti (1804). It goes back to West Africa. Many of my Haitian ancestors came from the Kingdom Of Dahomey (Benin). I'm proud of my African roots. Without Africa, there wouldn't be Haitians, BLK Americans, Jamaicans, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinos, Afro-Brazilians, etc AFRICA is mother to us all💯
@@jake5773so ? Which nation never sold slaves ? And matter fact sold slaves are people captured from war or kidnapped. People fight each other in ancient time and the defeated could get sold. That’s the way then. Deal with it
Not true! Being loud is seen as rude, but Africans understand why Black Americans come out that way. They have endured so much shyt that after living in America for so long I act like Black Americans sometimes. We endure too much injustice. Too many fake people around us all the time.
@@yawos9024what are you talking about? Africans endure injustices as well back on the continent that doesn’t mean anything. Being loud is a cultural thing. Some cultures are loud and some aren’t. For example west Africans are very very loud compared to Africans from the Horn of Africa. It has nothing to do with injustice
@@jamarhightower3583 if you black you’re from Africa, even caucasien knows where they’re from. America is a land of foreigners. Only native Americans were here before and they even had black skin and almost black culture. Read books dude, go learn about ancient Egypt. You’re ashamed of your origins 🤣

Us as Black Americans didn't start at slavery. Our lineage goes bsck centuries before slavery. Everyone started from Africa. Those in the Caribbean claim their culture but they know their roots started in Africa
Black Americans are a mixture of the Black people that were already here, the Africans who were brought in as slaves, the Red Native, and European. The same in which Black people were already in Australia, Samoa, New Zealand, etc. We look, walk, eat, and express ourselves completely different. Slavery did not introduce Black people to the rest of the world.
American blacks are of west african descent, thats why he felt a connection when he went to Ghana. We keep trying to educate American blacks that what they think about "Africa" is flawed, its an extremely big place and peoples from different regions feel completley different from each other, for example a typical west african going to east africa will feel like they are in another world and vice versa. Props to MJW for freeing his mind, can't understand how anyone would want their heritage to begin with slavery when there's so much more to you.
Most Black Americans feel at home in Ghana because Ghana has historical ties with all the diaspora ever since Ghana had independence. The first President of Ghana was educated in Lincoln University, a historic black American University. Ghana roots itself in black pride and excellence. That is why Ghana has the Black Star in its flag.
Am East African and Naija-Ghana are just like Black Americans from their flamboyance to their physical sizes😂. In East Africa most people prefer not to standout, each time a Nigerian comes around they disturb the peace with their extravagance😂😂😂
From my experience With different Africans and Haitians They are louder speaking in their own languages and to each other and more reserved with “outsiders” new people Men seem to be outgoing until it comes to me_ I can’t even say black Americans but me yea it’s something to it that I don’t understand It’s weird to me.

I somewhat agree. I had to train one of my coworkers who is from Ghana. I have ancestors in Ghana. In respiratory one of our jobs is to set up life support machines. Everybody kept confusing her with me, because we literally have the same high cheekbones, nose,and smile. One main difference is that she talks low and I don’t😂😂. I have my William and Anderson family in South Carolina I haven’t even met. My Chicago family can definitely make some noise😂😂
MJW dropping nothing but jewels here. Nas has been schooling folks on this issue for a while; the Black American Journey doesn't begin with slavery. Brilliantly put MJW. I think what a lot of people don't realise is that most African Americans were brought from West Africa, mainly current day Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Congo,Ivory Coast and Senegal . And those countries is where you'll discover the similarity in culture. Africans are not a monolith. There are huge differences with the people from East Africa, South Africa and definitely North Africa compared to West Africa. That explains MJW's different experiences in those different locations.
@@TYETYE14 It's hard to pick one but my one of my favorite African countries to live in over all is Cape Verde. Nice beaches , nice weather year round, low population, good music , good food, low crime, low cost . Kinda reminds me of Brazilian culture but a lot more laid back and less people.
Black people have been in America longer than many other cultures even though we have been denied rights for generations. We should own being American like others blacks do with their countries ; when a white people say they are French, German, etc we don’t expect them to say the Caucasus Mountains. People ask where you from bc they want to know what culture you identify with not biological makeup.
Well he specifically named different African Nations… he said Djibouti, Kenya, Congo, Rwanda, some other countries, and Ghana. He specified that his lineage was from Ghana.
You missed the part where he discussed the different regions and even specified the region he tracked his lineage. Plus white people try to claim all of Europe as a their lineage all the time
this arguement is weird because I'm african and I can tell you not even africans are from their countries they migrated from bantu migrations thousands of years ago and no one is really from where they are from theres always a deeper story like how a lot of tribes in Zimbabwe and Zambia are originally from the Zulu tribe of South Africa from people trying to flee Shaka Zulu...everyone is from somewhere and has a deeper history that has been forgotten over time
This exactly I feel I was telling someone this last week. I’m Liberian & Barbadian but I know my lineage start somewhere deeper than my Liberian root’s especially bc I have a American last name 💀
I think you can have the Black American pride and identity that Smokey Robinson speaks of and realize that your story doesn't start in South Carolina or with slavery. You can understand that unfortunately part of your history is (may be) lost and was stolen from you.
That’s why we identify as Black because parts of our lineage was Blacked Out no other people on the planet identify with a color it’s an American thing
Was just about to say that😂. East and West Africans(especially Naija-Ghana) are total opposites. In East Africa Nigerians stand out for their flamboyance and loudness😂
That's cap all the people i know from Africa are loud asf, even when they whisper. I work with this guy from Ghana right now, everyday he's in the locker room on the phone literally yelling with the deepest voice ever
Americans as a whole are louder than other people around the world. People from other countries say that they can instantly spot an American by how loud they talk so it’s not specific to black Americans
Primarily West Africans, Secondarily Central Africans(Samuel l Jackson, Chris Tucker etc). And Finally in minority is East Africa (Swahili coast, Tanzania-kenya, and also some small Malagasy DNA)
Shows how violent a society West Africa was, kidnapping and selling other Africans. In East Africa, the Swahili Arab slave trade was constantly thwarted by Maasai warriors who attacked slave caravans. That is why it barely affected the inland, such that the first white man to see Mt Kenya happened as late as the 1880s. We fought tribal warfares too but at least knew not to sell people off to foreigners.
@@hoverboy Not true at all, West Africa's proximity to the Americas meant less travel for the European ships. And slavery in this region is quite complex than Africans kidnapping other Africans. The Europeans often interfered with local politics in regime change and support with weapons, similar to how Patrice Lumumba, Dr Congo's first prime minister got deposed off. While in need to establish good relationships with the Europeans, Patrice didn't want to feel like a puppet regime for western imperialism, So they devised a new strategy to influence his most trusted friend mobutu seseko. For Mobutu, it's the drive to be in power and being militarilly supported by US and its allies so that can maintain a clean image that they had nothing to do with it but the corrupt savagers killed themselves and allowed resources to be looted. Remember, America killed it's own president in an attempt to abolish slavery. Most people also forget that the American civil war was basically about slavery. Swahili slave trade was also cruel in all aspects, this single region alone transported more slaves than other ports in Africa for the Mediterranean market. I mean, what do you get when you have an Islamic ruler who saw himself as a pure Arab and descended of Allah himself. Tip tip was a very notorious slave trader in central Africa and obliterated anything in his path, not even a massai would even stand a chance as they would fall victim themselves. On limitations, the Swahili couldn't manage to take slaves in Savannah region(great Zimbabwe, monomutapa,ingombe illede etc) because people in this regions were quite militaristic in naturethan just simple farmers. The culture of savannah was similar to shaka Zulu culture, I mean they still speak the same diarects
@@CaciousLukama That culture of the Shona pple and Zulu people is shared by my people from Central Kenya and many other Bantu speaking languages including Swahili if you didn't know Swahili is considered Bantu. A Kikuyu like me can make out quite a number of similar words spoken by the Zulu of SA. So that anti slave culture was very prevalent here. Like you said, in the Swahili coast it was Arabs who were selling black Africans. Not a Kamba capturing a Taita from inland and then taking them to the port in Mombasa like it was the case in West Africa.
Being a slave in the Americas doesn't mean you were less human. Yes us Black Americans and other Black in the western hemisphere descend from west and central africa. Not a shocker.
Everybody doesn’t only descend from west africa they were also moved there due to colonialism , please brother we have to educate ourselves, before 1884-1885 the berlin conference renamed everything and bordered africa..from west africa to east africa was called the soudan, we have been lied to
@@Zee-i4ethe most recent migration was from the USA to west Africa. Africans integrated into American culture. If we came from Africa then they would be culturally similar but they ain’t
@@davruck1 of course because we have adopted alot of ways of our colonizers we are different, but so is russians and european Americans as well as British Americans but they don’t veiw it that way only us and thats the problem, when we complain about reparations and getting treated poorly alot of us could help aid our brothers and sisters overseas to create a new connection that would stop alot of that and they dont want that to happen, if we focus on alot of things we have in common and can connect on especially financially and buissness wise, a new education curriculum teaching our history that alone can change everything for us and we will be a majority wherever we are on the planet it is more of us then everybody combined
You cannot be serious. That was the ENTIRE purpose of that institution in America; to reduce a population of people into property. They were bred like Bulls and cows, turning 388k imported into 4M around 1 century. Pseudoscience and regarded accounts from Hume, Mandeville, Darwin, Huxley, and Linnaeus labeled them closer to the orangutan than a human.
@@davruck1look like y’all ashamed to say that you are african. it's sad tho. Even caucasien knows they’re from elsewhere. America is a land of foreigners, we all from elsewhere except native Americans who had black skin tho. Go watch the story of Egypt you’ll understand who u are. If u wanna know where U’re going u must know where u from dude
I don't use Black or African American, especially when you know the history of both. My ethnicity is for me to define, not someone else or some fugazi "Community" that is anything but unified. My culture & identity is my own and isn't defined by my phenotypes or perceived genotypes.

This is was actually a pretty deep interview one his best ones actually. Thought provoking. Black Dynamite still one of my all time favorites, the Movie, and the Animated Series.
He won't like it because it is antithetical to his grift. Tariq is a grifter and all you need to do to confirm that is look into the mani lies and misinformation he has published that have no bases in true history. There are many of them on the internet selling products, preying into the misunderstandings and un-educated nature of some/a lot of African Americans. Go speak with a knowledgeable African-American historian and you will confirm the truth.
Because most people that are evil dominate majority of the planet and run it and of course so many petty factors dividing us as homosapiens of course. But naturally not everybody is gonna like each other based off various reasons. It's a cycle that'll continue unfortunately. Maybe it'll change but I doubt it
@@KINGJAMES-ke9pe well i overheard an American guy talking to his kid in Ghana. I didn’t realize that they were American until they spoke. I was wondering how many people have I been around in Ghana that I didn’t realize were from USA. You can easily see in West Africa how Black Americans come from these people. The flight I took from Atlanta to Accra Ghana was like I never left Atlanta… except the cultural differences
It depends on the language and the setting. Some languages have tonalities that will make it sound loud. I am African. When I speak my mother's tongue, my son whose mom is AA would ask me if I am arguing 😅😅😅. But when I speak English, he has never asked me such a question. But nothing wrong with being loud if you do it in the right environment meaning knowing when to respect the silence around you. We are expressive people. We should not try to be like any others. And silence is not always a virtue. The most silent are the most evil!.
That is bs. My kids were born in America, but they are the first to tell you they come from Ghana because in Africa you belong to where you ancestor hail. I come from a matriarchal society, so I inherit from the mother side. Are you saying if you are born in the skies while in a plane, that is why you originated?
Yes Mike, that is why we ask every black man or woman in the Western Hemisphere, to get into their consciousness of finding out who they are before their ancestors became Slaves.
i work for a bank and have a few foreign clients, a few from countries in africa. to say black americans are louder than those from parts of africa is 10000% incorrect.
I hear what he’s saying but Groups of people go through a process called an ethnogenesis where ethnic groups formate into the groups they are. To be an ethnic group you don’t need to pass the bar, have a 1000 year lineage etc. we are complete!!! Ask the typical African who was his great great grandmother and he’ll look baffled. I’m FBA. I’m American. Most white Americans can’t even trace their lineage back that far.
The USA is a foreign colonial government created by Europeans. They have to convince everyone that they discovered a virtually empty continent so they tell you that you came from Africa even though you been here longer than they have
Just because they can’t it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. It’s not about them. It’s about you. Slaveholders did all they could to erase whatever history you had before this country. You should do yourself and your kids a favor to make that connection as testimony to who you all are. Maybe your descendants might not relate to a Tuskegee Airman but they might look to their merchant Ashanti forefather for inspiration. Or you could choose not to
Lol Trust me, we Africans know who our Great-Great Grandmothers were. Our oral histories are still alive and are finally being written these days. Besides...traditionally, we worshipped ancestors--knowing who they were was just a start!
He didn’t make any point. He ain’t from Africa. Even if he believes he is, the Africa that existed 300 years ago no longer exists. Visiting Africa will not get you in touch with anything
@@davruck1 his ancestors are. History is not for entertainment although it can be used as such. It’s functional. It’s an account of the people before you as a testimony and as a lesson of the experiences of humanity before you. Particularly your own genetic line. It could be that someone find out one of his grandmothers came from Madagascar. He then goes to visit and is inspired to become a zoologist and study the indigenous animals as a career, marrying a local woman who bears his children.
@@davruck1Either way Africa developed more than 300 years ago without u. If you wanna know where u going u must know where u from! Even caucasien knows where they from. America is a land of foreigner, we all from elsewhere except native Americans who had black skin tho
Interestingly, white Americans consider their European ancestry and history. They have no problem with any allusion to their past. They are so quick to indicate their ancestors came from Germany or Sweden.
@@davruck1 You know you can always believe what you want to believe, but that wouldn't change the facts? LOL. I dear you to do your DNA and trace your lineage, and comeback and tell us about it. Just don't forget that lack of intelligence is denying facts in the presence of new evidence. America knows that too well. This is why it is perceived in that light all over the world

I have my William and Anderson family in South Carolina I haven’t even met. My Chicago family can definitely make some noise😂😂
Ghana good ol black slave traders I know your proud
I'm also from Ghana 🇬🇭..will like to work with you some Day
Lot's Of Love From Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
MJW dropping nothing but jewels here. Nas has been schooling folks on this issue for a while; the Black American Journey doesn't begin with slavery. Brilliantly put MJW.
I think what a lot of people don't realise is that most African Americans were brought from West Africa, mainly current day Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Congo,Ivory Coast and Senegal . And those countries is where you'll discover the similarity in culture. Africans are not a monolith. There are huge differences with the people from East Africa, South Africa and definitely North Africa compared to West Africa. That explains MJW's different experiences in those different locations.
So called Blacc people were living in America thousands of years before slavery. Do the research
Beautifully said…
this guys never met a Nigerian before
maybe he got scammed by one lol
I was thinking the same thing lol 😂😂🤷🏽♀️
Facts 😂😂
Africa is not only Nijjas..i am Ethiopian
That’s one part of Africa. That’s like judging America and saying… “They ain’t ever met someone from Nebraska”
Thank you Michael!
✈️🌍👑 I visited about 70 countries and 20 African countries. Africa by far has most beautiful beaches , animals , culture and women.
What was your favorite country u liked out of All of them? Would u say Africa?
@@TYETYE14 It's hard to pick one but my one of my favorite African countries to live in over all is Cape Verde. Nice beaches , nice weather year round, low population, good music , good food, low crime, low cost . Kinda reminds me of Brazilian culture but a lot more laid back and less people.
@@tayeuhuru wonderful I'm trying to visit one day myself
Black people have been in America longer than many other cultures even though we have been denied rights for generations. We should own being American like others blacks do with their countries ; when a white people say they are French, German, etc we don’t expect them to say the Caucasus Mountains. People ask where you from bc they want to know what culture you identify with not biological makeup.
Your lineage doesn’t start in bondage. Get out of your feelings
@MrOneWay5000 it's amazing how much they love America yet America don't love them
Caribbean people were in America since slavery. Hundreds of years
@kennyking5606 that too. They only love "their " country when comparing to other black peoples country
@@roylle6346 i am telling you
People lose me when they talk about Africa like it’s a country. You never hear Irish people being compared to Italians.
Asians identify as Asians tho
Because the world doesn't have respect enough for Africa to differentiate. They're just all Africans. It's F'd up but that's precisely how they think.
White people gang up on all non-whites.
Well he specifically named different African Nations… he said Djibouti, Kenya, Congo, Rwanda, some other countries, and Ghana. He specified that his lineage was from Ghana.
You missed the part where he discussed the different regions and even specified the region he tracked his lineage.
Plus white people try to claim all of Europe as a their lineage all the time
Many FBAs have roots in Ghana. That was the main slave port in the triangle trade.
this arguement is weird because I'm african and I can tell you not even africans are from their countries they migrated from bantu migrations thousands of years ago and no one is really from where they are from theres always a deeper story like how a lot of tribes in Zimbabwe and Zambia are originally from the Zulu tribe of South Africa from people trying to flee Shaka Zulu...everyone is from somewhere and has a deeper history that has been forgotten over time
The argument is weird, but he said exactly the same thing?
Weird comment you just display you know your lineage. For them without checking DNA, they don't have the big picture
They are Africans in Africa. Please let shut up
This exactly I feel I was telling someone this last week. I’m Liberian & Barbadian but I know my lineage start somewhere deeper than my Liberian root’s especially bc I have a American last name 💀
I think you can have the Black American pride and identity that Smokey Robinson speaks of and realize that your story doesn't start in South Carolina or with slavery. You can understand that unfortunately part of your history is (may be) lost and was stolen from you.
😔 that’s deep and true
That’s why we identify as Black because parts of our lineage was Blacked Out no other people on the planet identify with a color it’s an American thing
🤣🤣🤣
I think Smokey Robinson looks down on Africans and don`t want to be lumped with them. And Smokey look like he`s atleast 60 Percent yt blood.
Idc about no damn africa I’ve only heard white people and africans try to tell us about africa like they didn’t own our ancestors

That's cap all the people i know from Africa are loud asf, even when they whisper. I work with this guy from Ghana right now, everyday he's in the locker room on the phone literally yelling with the deepest voice ever

In Curaçao too😂😂
Truly one of our heroes and one of our big inspirations... MJW 💪🏽🏆👑 Never a let down to see him on screen !!
Americans as a whole are louder than other people around the world. People from other countries say that they can instantly spot an American by how loud they talk so it’s not specific to black Americans
Make me wanna travel , great interview
Basically he realised what most people forget, that black Americans are primarily descendants of WEST AFRICANS, not all of Africa.
Primarily West Africans,
Secondarily Central Africans(Samuel l Jackson, Chris Tucker etc).
And
Finally in minority is East Africa (Swahili coast, Tanzania-kenya, and also some small Malagasy DNA)
Shows how violent a society West Africa was, kidnapping and selling other Africans. In East Africa, the Swahili Arab slave trade was constantly thwarted by Maasai warriors who attacked slave caravans. That is why it barely affected the inland, such that the first white man to see Mt Kenya happened as late as the 1880s. We fought tribal warfares too but at least knew not to sell people off to foreigners.
@@hoverboy Not true at all, West Africa's proximity to the Americas meant less travel for the European ships.
And slavery in this region is quite complex than Africans kidnapping other Africans. The Europeans often interfered with local politics in regime change and support with weapons, similar to how Patrice Lumumba, Dr Congo's first prime minister got deposed off.
While in need to establish good relationships with the Europeans, Patrice didn't want to feel like a puppet regime for western imperialism, So they devised a new strategy to influence his most trusted friend mobutu seseko.
For Mobutu, it's the drive to be in power and being militarilly supported by US and its allies so that can maintain a clean image that they had nothing to do with it but the corrupt savagers killed themselves and allowed resources to be looted. Remember, America killed it's own president in an attempt to abolish slavery. Most people also forget that the American civil war was basically about slavery.
Swahili slave trade was also cruel in all aspects, this single region alone transported more slaves than other ports in Africa for the Mediterranean market. I mean, what do you get when you have an Islamic ruler who saw himself as a pure Arab and descended of Allah himself. Tip tip was a very notorious slave trader in central Africa and obliterated anything in his path, not even a massai would even stand a chance as they would fall victim themselves.
On limitations, the Swahili couldn't manage to take slaves in Savannah region(great Zimbabwe, monomutapa,ingombe illede etc) because people in this regions were quite militaristic in naturethan just simple farmers. The culture of savannah was similar to shaka Zulu culture, I mean they still speak the same diarects
@@CaciousLukama That culture of the Shona pple and Zulu people is shared by my people from Central Kenya and many other Bantu speaking languages including Swahili if you didn't know Swahili is considered Bantu. A Kikuyu like me can make out quite a number of similar words spoken by the Zulu of SA. So that anti slave culture was very prevalent here. Like you said, in the Swahili coast it was Arabs who were selling black Africans. Not a Kamba capturing a Taita from inland and then taking them to the port in Mombasa like it was the case in West Africa.
That cap 🧢
Being a slave in the Americas doesn't mean you were less human. Yes us Black Americans and other Black in the western hemisphere descend from west and central africa. Not a shocker.
Everybody doesn’t only descend from west africa they were also moved there due to colonialism , please brother we have to educate ourselves, before 1884-1885 the berlin conference renamed everything and bordered africa..from west africa to east africa was called the soudan, we have been lied to
@@Zee-i4ethe most recent migration was from the USA to west Africa. Africans integrated into American culture. If we came from Africa then they would be culturally similar but they ain’t
@@davruck1 of course because we have adopted alot of ways of our colonizers we are different, but so is russians and european Americans as well as British Americans but they don’t veiw it that way only us and thats the problem, when we complain about reparations and getting treated poorly alot of us could help aid our brothers and sisters overseas to create a new connection that would stop alot of that and they dont want that to happen, if we focus on alot of things we have in common and can connect on especially financially and buissness wise, a new education curriculum teaching our history that alone can change everything for us and we will be a majority wherever we are on the planet it is more of us then everybody combined
You cannot be serious. That was the ENTIRE purpose of that institution in America; to reduce a population of people into property. They were bred like Bulls and cows, turning 388k imported into 4M around 1 century. Pseudoscience and regarded accounts from Hume, Mandeville, Darwin, Huxley, and Linnaeus labeled them closer to the orangutan than a human.
@@davruck1look like y’all ashamed to say that you are african. it's sad tho. Even caucasien knows they’re from elsewhere.

Pryor visited Kenya in 1977. That's where he lost the n word. And yes not all Africans are genteel. That's a mostly east african thing. 😅
When people ask me where I’m from, they want to know what African country. I am as American as Michael. African-American is fine with me. And Black.
I don't use Black or African American, especially when you know the history of both. My ethnicity is for me to define, not someone else or some fugazi "Community" that is anything but unified. My culture & identity is my own and isn't defined by my phenotypes or perceived genotypes.

There are many of them on the internet selling products, preying into the misunderstandings and un-educated nature of some/a lot of African Americans. Go speak with a knowledgeable African-American historian and you will confirm the truth.
Swahili speakers are soft spoken. If you been to Zanzinbar, Mombasa, Dar Es salaam you would agree with me. Im from Tanzania

Never, peace is not human nature.
Because humans are cockroaches.

"Bridge the gap"
Human beings are wired/predisposed to hierarchy look at the way white people look down to people of color or how rich people look down on poor people
Because most people that are evil dominate majority of the planet and run it and of course so many petty factors dividing us as homosapiens of course. But naturally not everybody is gonna like each other based off various reasons. It's a cycle that'll continue unfortunately. Maybe it'll change but I doubt it

I was wondering how many people have I been around in Ghana that I didn’t realize were from USA. You can easily see in West Africa how Black Americans come from these people. The flight I took from Atlanta to Accra Ghana was like I never left Atlanta… except the cultural differences

@@DelKayson Most of y'all look West African lol. You realize Ghana is just one country, right?
It depends on the language and the setting. Some languages have tonalities that will make it sound loud. I am African. When I speak my mother's tongue, my son whose mom is AA would ask me if I am arguing 😅😅😅. But when I speak English, he has never asked me such a question. But nothing wrong with being loud if you do it in the right environment meaning knowing when to respect the silence around you.
We are expressive people. We should not try to be like any others. And silence is not always a virtue. The most silent are the most evil!.
DANE CALLOWAY just entered the chat.
Ghana to the world!
Your origin, not your ancestral origin, but YOUR origin is where you were born and where you grew up.
That is bs. My kids were born in America, but they are the first to tell you they come from Ghana because in Africa you belong to where you ancestor hail. I come from a matriarchal society, so I inherit from the mother side. Are you saying if you are born in the skies while in a plane, that is why you originated?
Yes Mike, that is why we ask every black man or woman in the Western Hemisphere, to get into their consciousness of finding out who they are before their ancestors became Slaves.
i work for a bank and have a few foreign clients, a few from countries in africa. to say black americans are louder than those from parts of africa is 10000% incorrect.
Africans are loud as f*CK...
MJ White dropping knowledge here.
You ain’t never heard a ninja talking on a phone, fools be loud as fuck!😂
Michael Jai White martial arts film legend I remember him from Blood and Bone and Never Back Down 2 you are well respected in Ghana
I hear what he’s saying but Groups of people go through a process called an ethnogenesis where ethnic groups formate into the groups they are. To be an ethnic group you don’t need to pass the bar, have a 1000 year lineage etc. we are complete!!! Ask the typical African who was his great great grandmother and he’ll look baffled. I’m FBA. I’m American. Most white Americans can’t even trace their lineage back that far.
The USA is a foreign colonial government created by Europeans. They have to convince everyone that they discovered a virtually empty continent so they tell you that you came from Africa even though you been here longer than they have
Just because they can’t it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. It’s not about them. It’s about you. Slaveholders did all they could to erase whatever history you had before this country. You should do yourself and your kids a favor to make that connection as testimony to who you all are. Maybe your descendants might not relate to a Tuskegee Airman but they might look to their merchant Ashanti forefather for inspiration.
Or you could choose not to
Lol Trust me, we Africans know who our Great-Great Grandmothers were. Our oral histories are still alive and are finally being written these days. Besides...traditionally, we worshipped ancestors--knowing who they were was just a start!
EYE!!!!! I!! am from DC!!! My ANCESTORS ARE FROM Africa
You're always welcome to visit Ghana my brother. One love
He made a great point. Consider your whole history not just the American portion. You deserve it.
He didn’t make any point. He ain’t from Africa. Even if he believes he is, the Africa that existed 300 years ago no longer exists. Visiting Africa will not get you in touch with anything
@@davruck1 his ancestors are. History is not for entertainment although it can be used as such. It’s functional. It’s an account of the people before you as a testimony and as a lesson of the experiences of humanity before you. Particularly your own genetic line. It could be that someone find out one of his grandmothers came from Madagascar. He then goes to visit and is inspired to become a zoologist and study the indigenous animals as a career, marrying a local woman who bears his children.
@@davruck1Either way Africa developed more than 300 years ago without u. If you wanna know where u going u must know where u from! Even caucasien knows where they from. America is a land of foreigner, we all from elsewhere except native Americans who had black skin tho
Interestingly, white Americans consider their European ancestry and history. They have no problem with any allusion to their past. They are so quick to indicate their ancestors came from Germany or Sweden.
@@davruck1 You know you can always believe what you want to believe, but that wouldn't change the facts? LOL. I dear you to do your DNA and trace your lineage, and comeback and tell us about it. Just don't forget that lack of intelligence is denying facts in the presence of new evidence. America knows that too well. This is why it is perceived in that light all over the world
