I simply love love love love love love love African hip hop beats I can't wait until I move to Africa probably The Gambia or Rwanda. I don't know when the last time I have really engaged myself in the lot of American movies or other type of TV shows. I watch Nollywood movies. Just like people here in America can spit out American celebrities names one after the other without hesitation that's how I am when it comes to Nollywood celebrities I can name them off without hesitation. If you don't watch Nollywood movies you missing a treat.

You both are very beautiful people to help others understand the difference between cultures. I work in a very diverse environment and this helped me to understand both. I appreciate you two.
Culture is the biggest difference! Africans have deep rooted traditions that were passed down and AAs blended African customs into western society. We (AAs) developed our own culture. We are similar but not the same.
I'm African and there's some truth in the statement that we just grab and do not ask. That is because we come from societies and cultures which are not based on individualism but communalism. There are some good things and bad things in that. In some African cultures if you ask your friend for permission before taking something it can be interpreted as an insult. Your friend may be insulted. If you take without asking it shows your friend that you trust them and consider what is yours to be theirs, and vice versa. I think there should be a limit to this important and beautiful cultural practice and value of sharing because it can be abused and misunderstood.
The best conversation that i have seen in CZcams about this subject. You guys have good answers that we can think deeper about it. Not just complaining like other youtubers talking about that. Thanks
As a black man and a African-American I believe topics like this only cause divisions between black people living on the continent of Africa and black people living in America. Why do I feel this way ?. We never hear European-Americans saying how different they are from European living in Europe. We never hear Chinese-Americans saying how different they are from Chinese living in China.
Well all I can say is that I love my international black family. Regardless of where they come from. I am glad that you are talking about this because I hate stereotypes.
As far as phenotype is concerned, I agree that many black americans look like we can be from anywhere in Africa. This is because we are a genetic combo of many different african ethnic groups. Slavers were very selective of the people they oppressed in terms of skill sets, but they were not at all picky about ethnic groups when it came to breeding our ancestors.
@@jemportal4166 'Murica. I had no idea slavers in the slave trade were selective about skill sets. Americans are being taught slaves were war captives.

I am an AA woman and l have always embraced African Culture. I am always looking to learn more about different African countries and cultures. However l have to say it has been my experience with a good majority of Africans that l have encountered, that they are not always very welcoming to me as an AA. I often go into different African restaurants or stores and there is always this attitude of intolerance and dislike. I don't let this stop me from learning about African culture, but it can be discouraging at times.
@Ke Kai, Am Ugandan living in Uganda, I apologies for continentals treating u badly. I encourage u to visit Africa, am sure most African ctries' pple will welcome u very well. I think that 'AA vs AC or Africans' experience in US is due to divide-and-conquer system which is well implemented in whiteman's land
I think you were just unluckily with the African people you interacted with sista... AA are and will always be our fellow afro brothers and sisters. One love from Angola, Africa ❤✊
It's because they sold us they was the same way during 1960s when we fought for civil rights they betrayed us for whites thinking we was just causing trouble
Which tribe? What country in Africa? What is THIER NAME? You DON’T know! That’s what I THOUGHT! You’re AA, but just by “MOUTH”. Can’t PROVE JACK-SHIT! = An IDIOT who has NO IDEA who you “ARE”. But Keep posing and REVEALING HOW LOST & DUMB you are. aka Just a DUMB n-word...🙄
We are African and we will always be an African. You can be African American or African European but still African. People need to stop self hatred let’s be one has black brothers and sisters. Try to read books and make research than walking blind
I found that the AA brother was trying to be inclusive and conscientious in his answers. The African sister was a little condescending, maybe unintentionally but when she said that AA get in more trouble. The bottom line both parties have to understand the reasons why they are the way they are
Yes, there are really big differences. It's not a bad thing. Anybody that is not from your country is very different. Africans are different from each other on the continent. Same thing with caribbean people. Afro americans are even very different from black canadians, and the black british and we grew up in white dominated countries. African americans used to behave more like africans for centuries. However, due to some very bad american experiences, that has changed.
To me not all of us will get along. Some Africans do not even get along with their own just like AA. So find someone who appreciates you and want to treat you with love and respect. We only have one life. If we blacks continue to cause division and separation our enemies in the mother land and west will continue to take advantage. The key is coming together!!!
Thank you for this intelligent post. I learned something. I can appreciate the respect shown here. No accusations. It was clean. I will view more of your content.
Something else that I noticed: Where are the universities in Africa? Many Africans send their children to be educated in Europe and America why is that?
Uganda in E/Africa has arnd 24 varsities excluding countless tertiary colleges & institutes. Reason why some still go abroad is search for more up-to-date teaching & better educational infrastructure
The big difference is cultural. African Americans have been indoctrinated by 400 years of white American culture. African slaves were from numerous ethnic tribes and were breed and mixed. Because of this African Americans had to create their own culture influenced by white American culture.
You look Black American and so does the Sister beside you. It is no doubt that we Black Americans do carry some European DNA. That is another difference, our african ancestors didn't come here with European lineage. Our culture is western European not African. Why do we pretend it's the same? Black people in Cuba also have a different European Spanish culture. I can't force them into saying it's the same. Its not. .
@@omarjabang5770 no matter what i read, i was born in America, that is culturally what I grew up in. I had a friend from Kenya, we are both Black but culturally we are not the same. I would have more in common with a Black Brit whose family has lived there for generations.
I went to South Carolina once, I think the majority of them never mixed. They looked like African’s. Also , I may be wrong but I don’t think AA travel much outside of America.
I’m African American and I know a bit about the black people in SC. The reason they look so African is because many of them aren’t mixed. On the coast of SC there are the Sea Islands. On the sea islands enslaved Africans kinda took care of them selves because white people didn’t want to be in that kind of environment with mosquitoes and such. And the sea islands were hard to access from mainland South Carolina. Because those Africans were isolated, many of them retained a lot of African culture. The name of these people from the coastal region of South Carolina is the Gullah and Geechee. They still do the same basket weaving that is done in Sierra Leone. Their language, Gullah, is very similar to Caribbean dialects especially Bahamian and Bajan dialects. They Gullah language derived from mostly Sierra Leone krio, Igbo, Mende, and mandinka languages and words. They also cook some of the same dishes that you’d find in the African continent. There’s so much for me to explain about the Gullah Geechee that it’s easier if you just google or CZcams “Gullah Geechee people”. It’s really fascinating. The funny thing is you went to SC and saw all those people that looked Africans and probably had no idea that they probably have so much more in common with you. Also, there was a need for rice farming which is why Africans were brought from Sierra to South Carolina. They were experts with rice. Fun fact: 40% of all enslaved Africans brought to America came through the Charleston South Carolina port. The rest of the 60% came mostly through other ports in New Orleans and Georgia. If you go to New Orleans the black folks also look very unmixed.
@@rtsoca5560 yeah a girl came into my job and I couldn’t tell if she was from New Orleans or Charleston based off of her accent. I asked her where she from. Whole time she from Barbados🤣
I have visited Memphis and noticed that the majority of that population was very dark in complexion. I am assuming it’s the same in many of the Southern states. New York and California on the other hand is the opposite.
Is it correct to compare one country (U.S.A) with a large continent called Africa where several countries with different cultures live in ? Do black in the U.S.A. have something with common with black people in several African countries ? Yes, the race (skin colour, hair and body construction). Culturally, there are Americans and there are Nigerians, Tanzanians, Kenians, South Africans, Ugandians and etc... I believe that many black people within the U.S.A. from a certain cultural and educacional level will have more in common with their caucasians, latins, asian U.S.A. born people than the ones born in Africa because they have been raised within the American culture, habits and values and not in any of the African countries culture. That's my opinion. For me, there are black americans and black africans...that's all !
@goodkarma99I don’t think that would be true for most AA. Most of us believe America is our country. Most of us have DNA mixed with Africa and a lot of other continents, so I’m not sure why I would think of Africa differently than I think of my other heritage from Germany, England, Ireland, etc. I’m so sorry you feel like America isn’t your country because we’ve been here almost as long as Europeans.
I like videos like this. It sound like you guys are closely from the same religious background. I’ve met some Africans some of the women were cool. I met some African males that were a bit aggressive because of the sense of entitlement that they were taught.
why can't we appreciate our differences and respect one another without the disrespectful comments towards one. I'm african American and I listen to afrobeats and I love african culture.
People around the world has been blessed by the passion and courage of those who dared to stand up and say black is beautiful . In the past there were few if any positive images of black people but black people make sure to change that . Today , there are examples of black excellent all over the world . Now , I think that it is important to me to opion that blackness is not African . To many people like myself Blackness doesn't explain how something appear . Instead blackness implied unity and solidarity whereas Africa doesn't have such black contextual significance maybe that is to be expected considering that people can in Africa tend to think national and tribal . The better question to conserve to is the meaning of what black is ,in human terms .
About the south African people who are mixed being called that was because of the apartheid which happened back in the days where blacks and whites lived separately from each other and it was a crime for interracial marriage because they both literally had nothing to do with each other
Intellectualrigor why are you guys speaking about that come on now don't nobody want to always reminisce about that b******* just being honest with y'all
Reginald West Afro European isn’t a thing. Sure you can be born in Europe but your parents are african, therefore your ethnicity is african. African Americans have lived in America for hundreds of years due to slavery, and they don’t know their African roots but an “Afro European” is an african that just lives in Europe because he was born there but he knows where he’s from in Africa and has African culture in his family.
@@elijahoye8216 nah there's a group of us Africans that don't follow our culture 100% we are 90% westernise because I'm different than most Africans lool I don't even have the African accent
Banks B how does that make sense tho? You’re only a 2nd generation african immigrant most likely, so how do your parents not make you follow their culture. Like take a black Brit for example, the only think that makes them british is the fact that they speak English. Caribbean’s and African have culture for their kids when they are not in school.
Banks B culture like the food you eat, the way you greet your parents, the religion you have, the attitude you have towards certain roles in your family, in some cases, other languages you may speak. Stuff like this.
@@elijahoye8216 the food I eat is the same as my mom but I don't speak her language I don't want go deeper but I'm more distant from African culture than most black Brits the way because of the way I was raised
I’m African living in America and the real difference that I see between Africa and America is in the vast majority of Africa there’s no middle class. One’s familiar either rich or poor,and there’s no food stamps in Africa that poor Americans have .
I love this video, as I am dating a young lady from Lagos Nigeria. I love her because of her humbleness and gentle spirit. A strong woman, but is making in dialogue and conversation. I sent her this video, and is waiting for her response. I have not had much interaction with Africans, but in my spirit I feel like I love them because I know how much they are being exploited by all the nations of the world. They remind me if little children, that hasn't yet matured, but who will one day wake up and realize that they are kings and queens, and the rest of the world needs them, and not vice verses. Keep up the good work.
Exactly ! This response is very rude also. It wasn't meant to be an insult at all. If you read it the right way, I'm talking about the countries leaders. There's no arrogance at all here. You take one sentence out of all that I said and try to blow it out of proportion. That's your ignorance showing.
You do know that it was black African leaders that helped the Arabs & Europeans put us in slavery. You think about that with you and your arrogant self

The agressiveness is different and being defined differently by each group. Africans (in general) are more VERBALLY agressive in TONE compared to most African Americans about the mundane. There is a lot of emphasis. And we are speaking about when speaking with those outside of the group. African americans seem to be more aggressive physically, with body positioning. Africans tone is more monotonous, meaning if they are speaking there isn't usually a change in their tone throughout a conversation. African Americans tend to start out at a lower place (in a general conversation) and escalate to more aggression for select words. Those are some of the differences Ive noticed, especially as a teacher observing conversations.
Very interesting observations. Thank you for the view and comment! Please continue to like and share and let us know what is another video we should do! Or what other questions to cover in regards to this topic
That’s interesting how you noticed that. I’m African American and whenever people bring up linguistics and speech patterns it makes me think of how we really talk and you’re spot on! 😂but I honestly feel like africans change their pitch when using certain words. But I guess it depends on the country you’re from and your native dominant language. Both speech patterns are unique and extensive🤙🏾
We do look alike. Every African American can find a similar phenotype somewhere on the African continent. Also, if these two had not opened their mouths, I wouldn't know which one was the African and which was the African American.
why when an argument is there about black people outside of Africa ,africa Amer'ns are on top. I mean there are 4times more black people than Afro Amer'ns outside of africa
I think it's ridiculous and stupid to compare Africans and African Americans in so many levels, how on earth do you compare people from 54 different nations with multi cultural backgrounds and behaviour to the people of one nation. An Ethiopian or Somalian has a different culture and behaviour compared to someone from Angola then how can you group these individuals together and compere them to AA??? Many people from the US their idea of an African is few individuals they met perhaps from West African.
African Brothers like many of us hear in South Africa we have our traditional cultures and that make us behave different to the other African guys from Divided states of America and they are arrogant and some I don't blame them because some of them don't know who they are
Most african americans are so lost and detached from th e african continent due to slavery. It is time for us AA to reconnect with our african roots. We are one and same people!
@@@funsahara It would be interesting to hear what Africans and Afrikaners think about each other. Please link video or sources so that we may be able to discuss this for a future topic. As of now, we do not know enough information.
What's wrong with huts? Nothing sweeter than being able to build your home on your own ancestral land. We are proud of this God-given privilege. And thank the creator that we're not amongst the half a million homeless Americans, or people living in tiny city apartments. Black Americans have the lowest homeownership rate in the USA of any other group. Be humble.
As a black American I used to try and deny any admixture because of the connotations that come from having mixed genealogy, but I couldn't fully embrace the African culture either because of my American experiences. As I have discovered more about myself and my heritage I have come to accept everything that makes me who I am, the good and bad of it. My ancestry consists of multiple African countries without factoring in any non African genes. I at least have a vague connection to the Congolese ancestry because of the Geechee culture being isolated from the mainland, a DNA test confirmed as much, but also added other African ethnicities to the list. Given that information I'm still spread between multiple cultures to learn about, but I have to wonder if I would be embraced in the homeland of my ancestors as not every country in Africa consider themselves equal.
I feel like I’ve had the same experience because of the unfortunate hybridization of Black Americans sometimes I want to try and connect to my African roots but I’ve found it really hard to make a connection. 67% of my genotype originates from Africa so for me the admixture is kind of recent and this makes it hard to trace my African ancestry.
Well I believe it’s a difference we as African Americans are brainwashed and we don’t know our culture so people that were privileged enough to remain in Africa me to be more understanding other downfall that we as American African Americans I have been taken away from you guys and now all basically lost we don’t know a language we don’t know a heritage we don’t know a culture and I said if anything the African culture should reach back and try to pull the African-American to learn
If you can fund it, go to school in Africa or live in Africa and learn those traditions to pass on to your children. People of non-African ethnicities go back to their ethnic homelands to re-assimilate all of the time and then come back to work after college.
All I know is, I see and hear 2 beautiful, bright, BLACK people. 😍👍🏽

I’m African American and I know a bit about the black people in SC. The reason they look so African is because many of them aren’t mixed. On the coast of SC there are the Sea Islands. On the sea islands enslaved Africans kinda took care of them selves because white people didn’t want to be in that kind of environment with mosquitoes and such. And the sea islands were hard to access from mainland South Carolina. Because those Africans were isolated, many of them retained a lot of African culture. The name of these people from the coastal region of South Carolina is the Gullah and Geechee. They still do the same basket weaving that is done in Sierra Leone. Their language, Gullah, is very similar to Caribbean dialects especially Bahamian and Bajan dialects. They Gullah language derived from mostly Sierra Leone krio, Igbo, Mende, and mandinka languages and words. They also cook some of the same dishes that you’d find in the African continent. There’s so much for me to explain about the Gullah Geechee that it’s easier if you just google or CZcams “Gullah Geechee people”. It’s really fascinating. The funny thing is you went to SC and saw all those people that looked Africans and probably had no idea that they probably have so much more in common with you. Also, there was a need for rice farming which is why Africans were brought from Sierra to South Carolina. They were experts with rice. Fun fact: 40% of all enslaved Africans brought to America came through the Charleston South Carolina port. The rest of the 60% came mostly through other ports in New Orleans and Georgia. If you go to New Orleans the black folks also look very unmixed.
@@martinsmith2258 They are very similar to my Caribbean people.
@@rtsoca5560 yeah a girl came into my job and I couldn’t tell if she was from New Orleans or Charleston based off of her accent. I asked her where she from. Whole time she from Barbados🤣
I have visited Memphis and noticed that the majority of that population was very dark in complexion. I am assuming it’s the same in many of the Southern states. New York and California on the other hand is the opposite.
It’s not just Carolina bro
go read the definition on the color blk
Is it correct to compare one country (U.S.A) with a large continent called Africa where several countries with different cultures live in ? Do black in the U.S.A. have something with common with black people in several African countries ? Yes, the race (skin colour, hair and body construction). Culturally, there are Americans and there are Nigerians, Tanzanians, Kenians, South Africans, Ugandians and etc... I believe that many black people within the U.S.A. from a certain cultural and educacional level will have more in common with their caucasians, latins, asian U.S.A. born people than the ones born in Africa because they have been raised within the American culture, habits and values and not in any of the African countries culture. That's my opinion. For me, there are black americans and black africans...that's all !
@goodkarma99I don’t think that would be true for most AA. Most of us believe America is our country. Most of us have DNA mixed with Africa and a lot of other continents, so I’m not sure why I would think of Africa differently than I think of my other heritage from Germany, England, Ireland, etc. I’m so sorry you feel like America isn’t your country because we’ve been here almost as long as Europeans.
Just look at the difference in their expressions the way they dress
Theres a big difference , we fight ws , while africans embrace ws .
Nigerians look the most like us because they're the largest group of Africans that we're brought here
No they do not look like us. Ghanaians do look like us.
They're not the largest though
No
I like videos like this. It sound like you guys are closely from the same religious background. I’ve met some Africans some of the women were cool. I met some African males that were a bit aggressive because of the sense of entitlement that they were taught.
What was their nationality?...
Difference is we are not the same. Head shaped different different NOT AFRICAN
I bet you're very proud of your white blood. Loser!
why can't we appreciate our differences and respect one another without the disrespectful comments towards one. I'm african American and I listen to afrobeats and I love african culture.
People around the world has been blessed by the passion and courage of those who dared to stand up and say black is beautiful . In the past there were few if any positive images of black people but black people make sure to change that . Today , there are examples of black excellent all over the world .
Now , I think that it is important to me to opion that blackness is not African . To many people like myself Blackness doesn't explain how something appear . Instead blackness implied unity and solidarity whereas Africa doesn't have such black contextual significance maybe that is to be expected considering that people can in Africa tend to think national and tribal .
The better question to conserve to is the meaning of what black is ,in human terms .
About the south African people who are mixed being called that was because of the apartheid which happened back in the days where blacks and whites lived separately from each other and it was a crime for interracial marriage because they both literally had nothing to do with each other
You can see the admixture in the Black American.
Intellectualrigor why are you guys speaking about that come on now don't nobody want to always reminisce about that b******* just being honest with y'all
Love you all!! Thank you for the view and comments! Please continue to like and share and let us know what is another video we should do!
@@joshuakent8176, it's not "reminiscing," but seeing the difference.
Mixture of What lol ???
Intellectualrigor yes you can there’s clearly a difference between those too
Why come I never see vids about the difference between Africans and African Europeans?
Reginald West Afro European isn’t a thing. Sure you can be born in Europe but your parents are african, therefore your ethnicity is african. African Americans have lived in America for hundreds of years due to slavery, and they don’t know their African roots but an “Afro European” is an african that just lives in Europe because he was born there but he knows where he’s from in Africa and has African culture in his family.
@@elijahoye8216 nah there's a group of us Africans that don't follow our culture 100% we are 90% westernise because I'm different than most Africans lool I don't even have the African accent
Banks B how does that make sense tho? You’re only a 2nd generation african immigrant most likely, so how do your parents not make you follow their culture. Like take a black Brit for example, the only think that makes them british is the fact that they speak English. Caribbean’s and African have culture for their kids when they are not in school.
Banks B culture like the food you eat, the way you greet your parents, the religion you have, the attitude you have towards certain roles in your family, in some cases, other languages you may speak. Stuff like this.
@@elijahoye8216 the food I eat is the same as my mom but I don't speak her language I don't want go deeper but I'm more distant from African culture than most black Brits the way because of the way I was raised
GOD BLESS AFRICAN ❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜,
I usually can tell if someone is African because of the jaws & Cheekbones & I'm usually right.
And we do be looking alike.
I’m African living in America and the real difference that I see between Africa and America is in the vast majority of Africa there’s no middle class. One’s familiar either rich or poor,and there’s no food stamps in Africa that poor Americans have .
No difference. We are both black.
Like the Australians and Southern Indians. Malyians too
Nadifa you're so gorgeous!!
The only difference is the continent we live on. We are family. Black power!
Yes, let's emphasize our differences instead of our commonalities. That's a fast track to unity!🤨
I love this video, as I am dating a young lady from Lagos Nigeria. I love her because of her humbleness and gentle spirit. A strong woman, but is making in dialogue and conversation. I sent her this video, and is waiting for her response. I have not had much interaction with Africans, but in my spirit I feel like I love them because I know how much they are being exploited by all the nations of the world. They remind me if little children, that hasn't yet matured, but who will one day wake up and realize that they are kings and queens, and the rest of the world needs them, and not vice verses.
Keep up the good work.
Exactly ! This response is very rude also. It wasn't meant to be an insult at all. If you read it the right way, I'm talking about the countries leaders. There's no arrogance at all here. You take one sentence out of all that I said and try to blow it out of proportion. That's your ignorance showing.
Plus who gives a crap about you staying away from us. I like the people on the continent, but not fools like yourself, butthead.
You do know that it was black African leaders that helped the Arabs & Europeans put us in slavery. You think about that with you and your arrogant self
Why keep repeating all these retarded statement
@@kennykross3306 no comments. It appears you're lacking in intelligence, which is why there's no real response coming from you.
I think it's more geographic. And the societies people are brought up in that maketh the culture 🤷♀️

The agressiveness is different and being defined differently by each group. Africans (in general) are more VERBALLY agressive in TONE compared to most African Americans about the mundane. There is a lot of emphasis. And we are speaking about when speaking with those outside of the group. African americans seem to be more aggressive physically, with body positioning. Africans tone is more monotonous, meaning if they are speaking there isn't usually a change in their tone throughout a conversation. African Americans tend to start out at a lower place (in a general conversation) and escalate to more aggression for select words. Those are some of the differences Ive noticed, especially as a teacher observing conversations.
Very interesting observations. Thank you for the view and comment! Please continue to like and share and let us know what is another video we should do! Or what other questions to cover in regards to this topic
That’s interesting how you noticed that. I’m African American and whenever people bring up linguistics and speech patterns it makes me think of how we really talk and you’re spot on! 😂but I honestly feel like africans change their pitch when using certain words. But I guess it depends on the country you’re from and your native dominant language. Both speech patterns are unique and extensive🤙🏾
Only Nigerians speak aggressively.
🤡
We are Africans as the same blood and the same beings.
We are also from the same continent man.
We do look alike. Every African American can find a similar phenotype somewhere on the African continent. Also, if these two had not opened their mouths, I wouldn't know which one was the African and which was the African American.
why when an argument is there about black people outside of Africa ,africa Amer'ns are on top. I mean there are 4times more black people than Afro Amer'ns outside of africa
I think it's ridiculous and stupid to compare Africans and African Americans in so many levels, how on earth do you compare people from 54 different nations with multi cultural backgrounds and behaviour to the people of one nation. An Ethiopian or Somalian has a different culture and behaviour compared to someone from
Angola then how can you group these individuals together and compere them to AA??? Many people from the US their idea of an African is few individuals they met perhaps from West African.
African Brothers like many of us hear in South Africa we have our traditional cultures and that make us behave different to the other African guys from Divided states of America and they are arrogant and some I don't blame them because some of them don't know who they are
We are on top,Our culture is black america,We've african ancestry but we're not african.
True nigerians look more like us than most other african nations,Their's a nigerian actor that could lebrons twin.
Who is it?
That African girl.is beautiful
Our captivity is ending AHAYAH has redeemed Jacob
His premise or what he stated first is false !
Most african americans are so lost and detached from th e african continent due to slavery. It is time for us AA to reconnect with our african roots. We are one and same people!
it would be the most amazing thing on this planet.
Good video I would like to gear opinions of about people who look black like Aborigines in the Pacific and and Australia New Zealand
@6:11, also Africans have mixed lineage. They have the Arabs, Europeans, Indians and most recently the Chinese lineage.
So does black Americans
I have a European lineage and I'm black from the Congo a lot people thought I was Carribbean
No we don't
What do the Africans have to say about the Afrikaners????
Afrikaners are Dutch extracts who live in South Africa and stick to themselves... Nothing more to say unless you talking about Pre Apartheid
@@@funsahara It would be interesting to hear what Africans and Afrikaners think about each other. Please link video or sources so that we may be able to discuss this for a future topic. As of now, we do not know enough information.
@@funsahara Ok. Thank you. I haven't heard much about them since the apartheid days.
@simbakafiri Nope
Yes we look alike African Americans are from Africa
That’s biblical
Ok I’m AA & my roots is 🇳🇬
There are other African people all over the world there is someway a difference between them and african of Africa, according to the environment.
Keep it real now nobody in america lives in huts like some still do in africa,The natives do have a trailor or houses.
What's wrong with huts? Nothing sweeter than being able to build your home on your own ancestral land. We are proud of this God-given privilege. And thank the creator that we're not amongst the half a million homeless Americans, or people living in tiny city apartments. Black Americans have the lowest homeownership rate in the USA of any other group. Be humble.
The guy look very Nigerian.
As a black American I used to try and deny any admixture because of the connotations that come from having mixed genealogy, but I couldn't fully embrace the African culture either because of my American experiences.
As I have discovered more about myself and my heritage I have come to accept everything that makes me who I am, the good and bad of it. My ancestry consists of multiple African countries without factoring in any non African genes.
I at least have a vague connection to the Congolese ancestry because of the Geechee culture being isolated from the mainland, a DNA test confirmed as much, but also added other African ethnicities to the list.
Given that information I'm still spread between multiple cultures to learn about, but I have to wonder if I would be embraced in the homeland of my ancestors as not every country in Africa consider themselves equal.
I feel like I’ve had the same experience because of the unfortunate hybridization of Black Americans sometimes I want to try and connect to my African roots but I’ve found it really hard to make a connection. 67% of my genotype originates from Africa so for me the admixture is kind of recent and this makes it hard to trace my African ancestry.
Way fewer fat people among Africans then African-Americans thanks to Fast food 😂
I’m telling you if come over here and taste it you’ll understand why we so fat the shit good ash but lots of us prefer home cooked meals too 😂😂😭😭😭
That's an American thing ,, the world eyes is on America itself... EVERYBODY knows everything we do we don't watch or see nothing from other countries
POWERFUL VIBES that’s the truest statement ever. Everyone knows America but America knows nothing about anything else
Watch foreign media.
Well I believe it’s a difference we as African Americans are brainwashed and we don’t know our culture so people that were privileged enough to remain in Africa me to be more understanding other downfall that we as American African Americans I have been taken away from you guys and now all basically lost we don’t know a language we don’t know a heritage we don’t know a culture and I said if anything the African culture should reach back and try to pull the African-American to learn
If you can fund it, go to school in Africa or live in Africa and learn those traditions to pass on to your children. People of non-African ethnicities go back to their ethnic homelands to re-assimilate all of the time and then come back to work after college.
