Tribalism is the main problem in Kenya and not racism!
Tribalism is a form of Racism buddy!
How did Tribalism enter Africa?
@@COOPSCORNER politicians and leaders use tribalism to divide and concur..tribalism is homegrown and not imported from anywhere else
@@COOPSCORNER Tribalism in Kenya is a political construct used by politicians to work on their poor desperate constituents instilling in em hopes & fears of either gaining prosperity or losing their advantage to other tribes. Tribalism within Kenyan social circles is pretty much non existent or meek, many Kenyans from different ethnicities get along so well. It only becomes somewhat an issue during elections when politicians are seeking power positions ...
@@maxwellkariuki2930 your last name betrays you! Kikuyus are the most tribalist people in Africa and you know it!
Truth be told!! There are many Kenyans who have NEVER experienced racism. Someone even told Coops why this could be the case. There are many who do not interact with people who might be racist or go to places where racism is likely to be experienced e.g. the high end restaurants/establishments. Many may experience classism and tribalism but not racism. You cannot insist or force people to say they have experienced racism when they have not. Kenya is still a majority black country belonging to all social classes. That said does not mean racism does not exist in Kenya or Africa.
This is the most accurate statement on here
Well said
Well said.....
The cousin to racism is tribalism and tribalism epidemic is big in kenya. So racism is here but not a major problem, the major problem is tribalism. No one will talk about it because all Kenyans are tribalistic.
In Kenya they have Indian only schools and neighbourhoods. Racism is real in Kenya with whites and Asians being put on a pedestal
Unfortunately to many of your country men are in denial
Kenya was a real apartheid state. Just that it's not talked about. As late as the 70's, no non-white person was allowed to live in Muthaiga Estate, Nairobi. The first non-European was Sharad Rao, who was the Chief Justice at the time. Even then, white people had issues with him moving there. Western parts of Nairobi were exclusively white, Parklands was for Asians, and Eastlands was for black people who were licensed to visit the city. Black people were not allowed into Nairobi without a permit. Those who made it there couldn't live in some estates, marry outside their race.
@@felixmakinda7689 it still is an apartheid state
@@thedolamitechannel2756 just that the face of it is black people 😂. Instead of British colonial administrators, we have black colonial administrators.
You forget to mention that 90% of schools in Kenya are for blacks only.
The average Kenyan is not exposed to racism, i once saw an Indian restaurant owner try to discriminate against a Kenyan lady who was speaking on her phone loudly., within a few minutes the restaurant was trending for all the wrong reasons online! Guess what? The restaurant owner ended up losing very many patrons and running loses! Big up Kenyans for speaking up
This is my MAIN reason for producing this video. To open eyes. Every Kenyan in this country is exposed to it daily 24/7. It’s up to them to open eyes to the fact it’s there. ✊🏾
Had this comment come from a Kenyan, i would have taken it more seriously
@@COOPSCORNER 😂😂 sounds to me like you are bored and idle.....there are pockets of racism exist all over the world ...some places worser than others.
That was awesome 👏
Notice those who've travelled a lot are the ones who are aware of the rascim. That shows the average Kenyan isn't conscience enough about this
Makes sense because the average Kenyan interacts within their race.
@@gathoni_2023 Kenya are extremely resistant to any intellectual discourse unfortunately
100%
@@thedolamitechannel2756 It depends on who and how one engages with. Sometimes how people respond to us is a reflection of how we engage with them.
@@thedolamitechannel2756 Resistant in what way; have you not watched them being interviewed and giving different opinions?
Let’s put this in context… Wyte, and other races have said they prefer Continental Africans compared to Diasporas, because Continental Africans are docile, therefore easier to control… Here’s a quote I forgot who said: The colonized African mind is dangerous to the un colonized!
I rarely comment on CZcams, but I will because this comment divine instead of uniting. I write all this in love, but as an African I feel we need to also speak about our experience. As a Kenyan who has lived abroad, I only became black when I moved to the US because race is not a construct that we identify within a country where the majority are Black people. My identity was based on my nationality, ethnicity, religion, and gender. However, in the US, race is a construct of identity, and I became Black. As we hold all these conversations, it is essential to understand and respect other people's experiences. For most Africans, other than South Africans, race is not a construct because they do not have to deal with people of different racial backgrounds. Therefore, Africans in the continent should not be condemned for not understanding racism because it is not their everyday experience. Africans have their own issues like ethnicity or tribalism, and that's their experience. In the same way, you want your experience with racism to be understood and treat Africans in the continent the same way. Chimamanda Adichie has discussed the same issue in her book, Americanah, and in most of her talks (i.e., Africans become Black when we move to non-black regions). Does racism exist in the continent? Of course, it does in regions with diverse peoples, but it's not a predominant issue or experience for every African. Africans fought for indipendence (i.e., Kenya and other African countries), which is why we live in sovereign countries. If Africans were docile, they would still be colonized. You cannot have a conversation if you view other groups through the lens of stereotype or 'othering.' In her famous Ted Talk, "The danger of a single story, " Adichie refers to it." We can only have progressive conversations from a genuine desire to understand "the why." Best, from an African in the continent.
White people telling the truth? Colonialism didn't end; Africans ended it with basic weapons. We may appear 'docile', but we stand our ground when needed.
@@githengu
Africans are too accepting of disrespect from East Indians, other Asians and Whyte pple. Those same people live in my country Jamaica and they would never even consider treating us as badly as Kenyans and other Africans allow them to mistreat them in their own African country.
Africans need to stand up for themselves and protect themselves from these invaders.
Sadly, the reality is that most African countries are still being controlled by the west in how they manage their economies. Also, there are parts of east and southern Africa where you have certain groups who go and live and segregate themselves and treat the natives badly.
Where is this narrative derived from? Have you resided in these African countries for an extended period to formulate such a conclusion? It's crucial to remember that Africa comprises 54 countries, each with its unique economy and colonial past. Can this statement truly be applied to all 54 countries? It's worth noting that some African nations, rather than aligning with the West, lean towards other regions, such as the Middle East.
To sum up, I am challenging these broad generalizations. Kenya, an English-speaking country, manages its economy differently from Senegal, a French-speaking country, or Morocco, which has a predominantly Arabic and Spanish influence. While it's true that in some countries non-Africans may be investors or wealthy, it's not accurate to assume that all Africans are willing to accept mistreatment. It's important to remember that isolated cases should not be taken as the norm for an entire country. For example, in Kenya, where I can speak from personal experience, economic growth is driven by the informal sector, which is largely controlled by Kenyans who own their own small businesses.
Racism depends with where you live. Most rural folks in Kenya don't even know what racism is as they dont interact with foreigners much. In the cities maybe dependent on areas or establishments frequented by foreigners. All in all racism doesn't feature in the top 10 issues facing an average Kenyan. Tribalism, tops, classism maybe, racism no. I theorize that its because majority of businesses and land....... and problems are Kenyan owned
Where did Tribalism come from?
@@COOPSCORNER 😂 you want to blame the white man for that too.....Tribes existed even before the white man landed on this continent. To say there were NO tribal conflicts then is just delusional and ignorant... Learn some African history before talking about nothing you know about.
@@COOPSCORNERexisted way before racism
I believe that most of the racism in Africa is actually perpetuated by foreigners who are then accommodated by the locals. I admire the locals for loving everyone whether they receive love in return or not. These are truly God's people.
100 years fromnow they will still be seeking love and acceptab=nce from racist strangers.
Classism, tribalism, elitism over racism
COOOOOOOP good job man keep bringing the awareness to the people. Bruh with the suit was on point, if you didn't already you want to get his contact information he seems to have the Pan African spirit.
This comment gets no likes. But, saying Kenyans don’t experience racism gets alot. Salute brother ✊🏾
Once again, you did an excellent job with these interviews, Jackson. Keep em coming!!!
My man. ✊🏾
Great conversation Cooper. Well done 👍

Great discussion, thanks again for sharing!!! 💯

Thanks for sharing
The Challenge that should be talked about is the Racism that our young Kenyans/African experience when they go outside country mainly to the US/Canada/Asia; these young generation that never encountered Colonialism get a rude awakening when they travel 😮and the sad part is that the jovial young Kenyans become depressed because their good expectations 😢 are reciprocated with Racisim/ isolation off which we Kenyans are never brought up on.
We recently lost a young Kenyan man in 🇨🇦😢, told his parents he regretted going overseas and that the people were Racist and no communial lifestyle.
They have never encountered Colonialism and it’s all around? Interesting.
Am an African, and from my channel this is best explained. Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The guy from Qatar - any excuse to use the N word - wow!
He probably listens to Rap music and thinks its cool. How is that much different from Hispanics in the US who Rap music and musicians have made it cool to say the N word which i think its disgusting. By the way this brother did not check this young dude on camera, maybe he did off camera but we dont know.
And the sister talked about Kenyans being discriminated in Kenyan textile industries. You are the majority but unfortunately our people are docile and will accept a few mistreating them in a black country. The leaders are just as much to blame because they love to cozy to foreigners without letting them know racism is a no go area in Africa. Imagine an American or British or Indian going to the Middle East and even thinking of being racist to the Arabs.
@@muchit3629 l noticed that also that he didn't check him. Unfortunately majority of the so called leaders have been installed by the west, so they're not there to work to improve the livelihoods of the citizens. They allow certain groups in - l'm sure they don't care how those groups segregate themselves, believing they're better than the natives and running businesses where they recruit some of the natives, but don't pay them anywhere near enough to live on. There were previous African leaders, who sadly are no longer with us, who would not have tolerated such nonsense!
We dont call it, "N word". It doesnt have any effect on us and it shouldnt have any effect on anybody . If you use it on whoever call you a niggar, it wont be important but if you make illegal, it will find a way of being used on you to hurt you.
Walking FREELY through the streets of Nairobi with that mindset. #Message
It’s more off tribalism than colour
Where did Tribalism come from?
@@COOPSCORNER No offense but your question sounds rather shallow
Good vlog very good answers from the local people and they are becoming more aware as the days pass. Louisville, KY USA
There are minor cases and incidents of racism, but Tribalism is a major issue perpetrated historically by ruling tribes through discrimination in job offers, state funding of projects in various regions based on loyalty to ruling party . Worsened by current leadership recently the DP of Kenya calling for "shareholding" meaning having the the main tribes of the president and his deputy enjoy state goodies, at the expence of perceived opposition Tribes.
Great video my man. I like the exploration of new topics btw.
Salute ✊🏾
The example the lady gave when she talked about being in a restaurant and having your table canceled got me thinking. Thats black on black racism😐 The foreigner did not cancel your table.
No, it’s ’Preference’. That’s a learned & taught behavior from colonization.
@@COOPSCORNER Coop if you walk around CBD with a white man what would you realize? He'll definitely get more attention and mostly from beggars and traders, it's because the trends has shown them white guy is likely to buy or give money and won't mind figures. Even though you're a foreigner they won't notice because of your skin color and so they'll ignore you. White man has mastered how to manipulate Africa's poverty to his benefit and the African has agreed to sell his soul for money.
@@COOPSCORNER..How is that "learned and taught?"🤔..It's Capitalism in play..They do that coz they think whites will spend more..

@@lee81721 be specific
The woman said there's scarcity of resources which is why the Kenyans allow open racism from Asians in Kenya.
I submit that there is no scarcity of resources in any African country, which is why the Europeans, Asians, Indians, Americans, Israelis, Arabs are still there taking, taking, taking.
The leadership in Africa has sold out to the above mentioned and the indigenous locals suffer.
No one has ever experienced racism in all 7 continents of the world than those with the African skin.
I’m loving this, the concept, the look, the sound and picture quality. Nice!!!
🙏🏾
I think it does because of the Chinese, Indian, expat and Somali enclaves within the city. If you spend time in those places you'll realize you're not welcome unless you're there for business.
🗣️
@COOPSCORNER 😂😂😂😂
Just a random thought. I didn't know I was black until I moved to America. I didn't understand racism until I experienced it period. You can know about racism but experiencing it is a whole nother a situation
Colonialism is a form of that. Just a ‘slick’ way of control. It’s ALL around you. ✊🏾
@@COOPSCORNER Experience is the best teacher....you cannot transfer your experiences with racism in America because many wont relate to it. Yes there are definately effects on colonization on the continent but nothing like you face in America on a daily basis.
Only elites (like me lol) have been exposed to racism, but also some of the few people who have worked with whites and Indians.
But sometimes racism doesn't feel like racism, because we Africans honestly inherited the colonial/capitalistic system. It was well planned for the the colonialists to "leave" but not really leave.
So someone getting bad treatment from another race doesn't feel it's any different.
I am not an elite,but went to school with all races,and never experienced racism in kenya. Now as an adult living in a predominantly white country,racism maybe to the minimum.
@@patriciamuenimulwa1808 I've definitely experienced racism at Whitesands Hotel in Mombasa.
I went to university in the US, and my friends and I were called n***ers in the streets of Boston. Just a one-off incident though.
In the San Francisco Bay Area where I worked for a bit, I have reasons to believe that an Asian American cop was probably racist.
The "elite" label was just in jest, no way I'd describe myself as elite beyond the context of a joke.
That’s the whole point of this amazing video. That second paragraph. This was well planned. But, it appears to still be working.
Yeah yeah!
Travelled to Kenya last month for the first time. The most surprising thing I saw was “rich blacks” and how they treat lower class people like dirt on their shoe. I even had to check some guy in the restaurant for how he was treating the waitress.
😂😂 And your conclusion out of that 1 interaction that all rich blacks act like that??? Amazed by your ignorance
From the first sentence It was clear you're a troll. Either with good intention or with none
this two opposing your commentary are the kind who treat there house helps like slaves, classism is real over here,
@@briopalumpus8676 Give us stats of Kenyans treating people like slaves.....give us numbers not emotional and ignorant gibberish
Going to Kenya as a black American I can say I feel more comfortable around the lower class people in that country, seems like the rich and well off people look down on you, it’s a weird dynamic but they pedestalize the white foreigners.
Mr.cooper thank for bringing this up. We need help to cleanse this part of the world from racism. It exists & its deep. People need to be educated...may be invite folks from Ted talk to educate these guys that they need to be acclimated against worshipping the white skin.
No one is worshipping the white man. White people tip, so those working in restaurants and hotels just want the money. It's business after all.
@@donnajoe4442 I fully agree let us see what these western black mongrels are bringing to the table apart from their feelings
I don’t need Ted Talk. I need people to support COOPSCORNER. This message is what needs to go viral. ✊🏾
Cleanse yourself first.....
The scarcity of opportunities is what perpetrates racism in Kenya especially those working with Indians or Chinese firms. They can never stand up or call it out. Also Kenyans treat Europeans or Asians better in Kenya than their fellow Kenyans. It is the residuals of colonialism. A white man can go to dangerous places in Kenya but the local Kenyan cannot. Kenyan police will treat a white person better than local Kenyan. I think this applies to the vast majority of African countries. In my profession, as an engineering softwares tutor and a local, they would rather fly in a white tutor who rushes through the course and get paid handsomely, while me here I have to accept peanuts for what I am good at.
SPEAK POWER TO TRUTH. 💪🏾
I disagree with everything you've said, Kenyans will treat foreigners better simply because it's a culture thing, Ethiopia wasn't colonized yet they still treat foreigners better. It's an east African thing.
@@COOPSCORNER Trying to find similar experiences to what you have😂😂😂
In 1963, US first Black Chief Justice, Thurgood Marshall,who was friends with Kenya Nationalists Tom Mboya,Oginga Odinga and Jomo Kenyatta, was responsible for writing part of Kenya's Independence constitution particularly the part on rights of racial minorities including white, Asian/Indian,Arabs etc .
Prior to Kenya Independence 1963 racial segregation in Kenya ,white 1st class citizen, Asian/Indian, Arab second class citizen ,black Kenya 3rd class .
It would be good to note that it is the same racial minorities that had deliberately & systematically discriminated and oppressed the black majority.
✊🏾🖤
✊🏾
Good stuff!
Like the gentleman said, for some, it is more about treating outsiders better. But then, it has ended up morphing into racism.
I imagine if two Americans for exampl were to show up, one black one white, both would be treated well as a package. The white one would be treated well everywhere overall.
👍🏾
Treating outsiders better is not only a Kenyan thing, i have experienced in more than one occasion as white Americans treat Africans better than their own compatriots ( Black Americans) my brother and his friends visited America a few years ago and we're ignorantly driving at a higher speed limit than was required! When a police officer stopped them, the officer furiously approached their vehicle, yelling menacingly until he heard their Kenyan accent, he immediately relaxed, became nicer and friendlier as my brother and his friends apologized, he even asked them about the tasty Kenyan tea! As he adviced them on the required speed limit and left !The other instances i will not mention
Ask about Tribalism
There is definitely racism and those saying it doesn't maybe it's ignorance and need to be reminded how Kenyan Asians won't let their daughters to get married to black men (especially Kenyan Indians) plus so many incidents reported in recent past but some people are just naive to talk about it.
Kenya are by far the worst African door mats
Speak on it. ✊🏾
you go to india, you will get a better one. kenyans do it all the time..
kenyans have agreat spirit and are welcoming that is why coop is over there chilling but for those muzungus or indians who think they are taking advantage of the locals they should watch out lol!!kenyans are brilliant but very diplomatic and trust me we get our lick back!!so its good to reciprocate and actually blend in with kenyans as AAs..i live in the states but il tell every african american who moves to kenya or travels to kenya to not stand out and if asked where they are from to tell them i am kenyan who happened to live overseas for awhile because at the end of the day kenyans speak english and they have alot of their kinfolk living overseas its going to save you alof of headache

They shouldn’t say racism doesn’t exist in Africa but should speak for Kenya 🇰🇪 only. There’s racism in southern African countries like South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 etc
The difference is the intellectual stunting and dumbed down mental health of Kenya public
@@thedolamitechannel2756You are now being offensive.
I think tribalism exists there or economic discrimination exists in Africa other than racism. But, racism in Africa is totally different than what Blacks are experiencing in the United States.
How did Tribalism find its way into Africa?
@@COOPSCORNERAfrican tribes had been fighting amongst themselves way before white people came. Colonialism did not bring about tribalism. It just amplified it because they put warring tribes in the same country.

Racism is well and alive in Africa. Mauritania has black people being sold as slaves, in North Africa most Arab countries don't consider consider themselves as African countries they are Arab countries as they don't want to associate as Africans. A case example is Morroco. Sudan is split between so called "Arabs" and black Africans and the Arabs are slaughtering blacks in Dafur. Mauritius is also notorious in mistreatment of black Africans. Somalis consider themselves "Arabs" as they don't want to be associated with Africa. Racism does exist in Africa.

Hell yes it exist in Africa. I have never visited, and I can tell that. Why do you think a lot of women use bleaching cream? I think its more weaves and wigs in africa than the usa. Some people will call this colorism, but it can be so bad there. It switches into racism. I can prove it. I bet you can barely find a light skinned maid. Light skinned women are treated way better.
I wont even talk about the non-blacks. I know they get treated better at some level at first contact
It is not a marathon to see who is more mentally colonized than the other. It is sad but the same exists worldwide and make no mistake it is disgusting. If you look at US television it is pretty clear they try to push black Americans who are are biracial even though the majority of African Americas do not look like that. The fact is the systems are in place to make us doubt ourselves. However there is no excuse this should still be happening in Africa at all.
The other point is because the politicians always favor foreigners over locals, it always is the case that foreigners are more well off than locals which furthers the disenfranchisement locals feel and experience. However, as much as i do not agree with a lot of things in the Arab world, i know for a fact no Chinese, White, Indian etc is going there trying to play those stupid racial games.

It would help if you visited some of the hotels, restaurants, cafes, malls, etc for you to see racism. You'll be treated differently once they notice you're American. Make a video to create awareness and to prove a point. The rich investors especially the foreign ones are the main cause of this.

I understand if some people didn't experience racism in Kenya but bro mentioned a whole continent,. If youve been alive any significant time ,you have seen on tv or read online about racism happening all around that continent. Rather it's afro Arabs against bantu Africans or Somali against other Africans or the dutch Afrikaner against south Africans . You don't have to experience it first hand to know it exists ,.

I rarely comment on CZcams, especially on difficult conversation.

It’s difficult to be educated on something you hardly experience. Africans can also say that AA are not educated on tribalism and it’s painful talking to them about it. Context and experience shapes our realities of life.
We are taught about racism but most of us rarely interact with people outside our races. Hard or almost impossible to perceive it when everyone around you looks like you. Tribalism is what we are sensitive too because it applies to us. Some Kenyans working with Chinese and Indians have experienced racism though.
@@githengu extremely well put. African Americans live and breath racism and they find it hard to believe that Africans do not relate to their experience. They expect us to hate white people while we are more interested in learning more about other cultures. We care more about education than your typical African American. Most of what is described in this video as racism is actually classicism.
That’s why I take the road less traveled. #COOPSCORNER ✊🏾
