Make a asian american vs asian, European americans vs european lets get a whole series going
Arab American vs Arab
Dang! can't we have anything😂
White Europeans vs white Americans
Edit: oh, you said it
Irish Americans vs Irish lol
I feel like that won’t run as deep. There are only a few generations between those groups where as African Americans had been brought here even before the founding of this country and Africans traveling here now only have a few (1 or 2) generations in.
Like Europeans how would that work? I know an Italian American who still has ties to their families back in Italy. Same with a Philippine friend. They get to have these conversations. It’s not the same. Ellis island immigrants haven’t been here long as us- they still fly flags of their homelands. We don’t even know our countries of origin.
Koach and the Nigerian woman were everythingggg. Love the conversation they had about the n word. He didn’t come at her disrespectfully when he found out she said it, and she received what he said as well
Yesss. Respect is everything. ❤
Yeah but he reason wasn’t very good
I feel like he made a good point, because African Americans have passed down the “N” word to their descendants. It’s a stigma for some African American people. And usually Africans in other places never say that word. So why say it in America?
Seriously! He made an amazing point
@@AliBlvck The point doesn't hold water tho, The N word has been passed down through white family's as well.
i love the nigerian girl she is open minded and not immediately defensive when someone disagrees with her i wish i had friends like her
It depends on what you’re disagreeing on. If it’s about people’s human rights, then that should not be up for discussion.
yeah, she was really intelligent and articulate
@@reginageorgetownuni that guy is ridiculous to tell an African, a "real N" that she's NOT supposed to use the N word
@@sparklefairy34anything is up for discussion
Especially in this case
@@zibelebruciebenubrucieb8850why is it ridiculous tho? That is a word rooted in the history of Black Americans. It is specific to the enslavement and subjugation of a specific ethnicity in America. Africans did not go through slavery, jim crow, civil rights era. That's not their history. So why do u feel that it's ok for people to accessorize with a slur that is rooted in other people's trauma/oppression?
“My tribe is Compton. Aha! And I stand on THAT!” I spit out my drink 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not sure why he wanna say "tribe" 🙄
lol I felt that
I would love to see this with Mexicans vs Mexican Americans. Seeing the differences between the cultures even though it’s the “same” is sort of shocking
They are the same ethnic group, one just immigrated the other didn't. Black Americans and Africans are completely different ethnic groups.
Honestly Latam-natives vs US-born latinos would be so cool
“A mexians worst enemy is another mexican” would love to see this
@@ValenciaRose.so what??
Yes!!! I always says those two COMPLETELY different things
This was so entertaining and informative! I really liked how Koach was not afraid to speak his mind, and how the woman from Nigeria gave such valid and respectable points when she disagreed. Overall, I feel like everyone is a great listener and really dove deep into these stereotypes.
Thank you for saying this.❤
yeah, that was really eye opening. i didn’t know african parents don’t say it
@@StylishGirl79 That's one woman's parents. Not every Black American or every Black American's parents say it anyway. This is a tiny sliver of representation
@@nyalovebychi Of course! Thanks for speaking up!
Nope it’s very uncommon in a majority of African households especially generations back
Just wanted to say that the Nigerian woman is STUNNING. The beauty, the intelligence and eloquence, the makeup, the clothes, the hair 🎉 STUNNING
I'm gonna guess your a woman. You lot always try to gas up women who have weight issues.
I love how everyone was able to come to the table respectfully, with open minds, and open hearts to hear each other out, while receiving each other's different perspectives and opinions. Conversations like these help bridge the gap!
I’m sorry but the smile and vibe of the Nigerian woman here is breathtaking. She’s extremely attractive.
Awww thank you! ❤
She's gorgeous 🥺
She has gorgeous eyes!!
Yea she has an amazing energy about her
I laughed so hard when she was confused about the police😅 coming from Rwanda and little interaction with white people i understood her confusion
This was enjoyable! As a Ghanaian, I really hate that there seems to be animosity between some Africans and African-American. It’s so sad like, these are our brothers and sisters taken from us and I will always show love to them because we are one just separated
"taken from us"
You do realize the white man BOUGHT the slave from Africans? In a way yes, they were physically "taken" away. Only after a transaction, not an invasion.
Stg
They’re NOT our sisters and brothers

I would love to see Caribbean-born & Caribbean descendants. It would be interesting to see the similarities and the differences between the cultures.
Second that!!
Yes and bring Dominicans, Cubans, Haitians and PRs into the Convo too
Yes 🙌
@@genesisp3884 Don't forget the west indies too ;p
This would be interesting, especially considering how diverse the Caribbean is
The African Americans kinda ignore that people in Africa where still slaves in their own land even without being transported to other countries
and that white people where slaves before black people were brought from africa, but whatever makes more money on tv eh
There are a lot of races who were slaves in their own country. slavery in america was way different, can u guess why 🤔💀.
The Roma and The Sinti be like:
Koach & the girl from Nigeria really made me feel seen. Growing up darkskin was NOT for the weak. My bullying was so bad i had a fear of public speaking because of the skin color harassment from other black kids, which in turn made white & hispanic kids think they can ridicule me as well.
It was learned from whites, so don’t erase history, but I hear you, we don’t have to perpetuate it, but that’s why racism is still alive, systemic, and works.
As a lightskinned person, glad you came out the other side stronger my darkskinned friend, people are so foolish.. ✊
@@rhodabaruch4 Aren't you erasing something too?
This happened to me as well. I feel like reading this comment has made me realise why I always freeze up or get nervous when talking in a group setting or having to do presentations in class. I remember when I dropped a beaker in my chem class and everyone was staring at me it made me want to disappear. I hate being the centre of attention because I’m scared that people are thinking about how ugly I am or how dark I am. I think I only realised how bad it affected me when I told someone about it and I started to break down and cry. I’ve grown love my skin but after so many years of people telling you it’s ugly I feel like I still have some sediment of hate still there. Like in summer I’ll wear so much sunscreen cause I don’t want to get “too dark”. I’m still growing and trying unlearning all of that. I’ve grown to love myself more now than when I was 12.
@@rhodabaruch4 y'all blame whites for everything. They don't do it now, but black ppl still keep colorism going - black males especially

@@legoat8646 WE?
I didn't grow up around Africans but in adulthood I encountered many in college and the community I moved to. This will sound weird but now I may kind of know what bi-racial people feel like. SOME people refuse to respect my experience as someone that descends from slavery and who can trace their first ancestor in the Americas back to the early 1700's. We were forced to create our own culture. I wish people could see that two things can exist at once. We are Americans who have been in this country before it became the US and was still a colony BUT our music rhythms, phonics of AAVE, most of our genetics are West and Central African. It's an odd space to be in when you're in diverse environments.
Exactly. I to am Black American/African American and I 100% agree with you.
I don't think we can relate to biracials because biracials grow up with both cultures in the home. We are essentially a people who were kidnapped as children and forced to adopt a totally different culture. It's not really the same. We really don't know who we are.
From the beginning "To being black" all the way to the two of them singing the Tupac song, this had the right feel! Very interesting and respectful both ways 👍🏾
Im a Black American who moved to Guadeloupe, a French island in the Caribbean. Here, they don’t use the N word. The ones who do are heavily influenced by American culture
We do say "neg" though(from french "nègre") , which is kinda the creole version of "nigga" , but even more integrated in the language (no other way to say it in Guadeloupean creole when referring to people).It basically comes from our slavery-related past after all as for you on the US side, but i get that our word doesn't sound as derogative to an outsider at first
Hiiii! Wow so nice. I'm from Guadeloupe but born and raised in France. Can I ask you were are you living? I'm originally from basse terre. Saint Rose on my mom's side and Bouillante on my dad's side. Hope you are enjoying our island 😊

@@axel_madikera7627 Negre is a color just like negro is, it's not the n word. The only ethnic group with the association of the N word has always been Black Americans.

That was amazing
😅 I’m straight outta Compton baby!
Loved that soooo much!
And standing on it! Felt that.
Is it? Cuz it didn’t make sense. The only tribe mentality black Americans have is gang mentality.
This has some truth

Each and everyone of the ppl participating in this, were so dope and engaging! Love tge respect tgat all showed throughout, for each other and tge time they took to understand the other. Great job! I look forward to more of these💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Loved the conversation. I would've liked to hear how Africans feel about Black Americans imitating African accents or wearing traditional African clothing.
Cultural appropriation
Just kidding :)
What about when Africans imitate African Americans? Seems more common than vice versa
@@crimsonkrimson I mean it happens both ways it’s not a big deal I think
I would like to hear from actual Africans next time. With 1 exception, all the "Africans" in this clip had American accents and the "Nigerian" lady admitted to growing up in US.
It could not have been that hard to find someone who grew up in Nigeria who is in the US surely.
I would say that Africans don't care about others wearing our attire because it makes us happy when we see people from different countries wear it. I am an African, born and raised
"I'm sorry what" lmao same
Right coz ain’t no way 💀💀.
my honest reaction hearing that: 😧😧
There's a lot of African Americans who seem to think that slur is targeted only at them and that Africans have never been called that before.
@@Prinzyxox nobody should use that word
@@Solidude4 same with the c word with asians. nowadays some chinese people say only they can say the c word as if other asians havent been called that either..
Keep grinding bro your work is very great I like it so much.
Girl in blue was so patient and gracious tbh
I think being able to differentiate between African cultures is mostly about exposure. I live in the Washington DC area and have met many Nigerians, Ghanaians, Kenyans, and Eritreans. After a while, you can tell them apart as easily as you can tell Europeans apart. But you need to meet people from these cultures to be able to do that.
Hell, I am European and I can't even tell us apart :D
@@nikolaratajI am African and I call tell Europeans apart
The Maryland suburbs of DC are the most diverse areas in the country. It’s shocking to me when people say they can’t tell people of different regions from each other. I’m not always right right but you start to notice similarities.
@@nikolarataj Trust me. Europeans are easy to tell apart. Swedes don't look like Italians. Russians and Greeks are so different. I'd rather hang out with a Spaniard than with a German. Even neighbors like British and French don't present the same.
I'm from DC and I can't tell Africans or Europeans apart only ones I can pick out at Ethiopians maybe Nigerians

As a black American the model minority that is placed upon African people is flat out the truth. I don't understand why model minority is seen as something negative though. As a black person I would want to be viewed as a person who is respectable.
Its a diss on AAs. It's to say if they can make it why not you, without acknowledging the damage and benefit that has occurred over 400yrs.
@@ZeeQuTee and I understand that however many of our people have achieved success in the face of oppression. I think it's pathetic that today many black people choose to sit back and say that the challenges that we face needs to be placed in the hands of white people and until white people change there is nothing that we can do. That is a victimization mentality that I refuse to adhere to. We can acknowledge that white folks have had a 400 year head start while taking the steps necessary to build our socioeconomic status as a community.
The model minority is not something that should be seen as negative. If I want to be stereotyped as anything I'd rather be stereotyped as a good than bad.
Lol I loved the girl in the blue dress and the guy in the hat! This is how we should be with one another, not beefin. They see us as the same anyway, and if we being honest, we are the same.

As a half Nigerian & half Black-American who was raised Black-American, I loved this interaction. We need more honestly, for those who want to see & love unity. It would be ludacris for me to say, all of us care for one another. I see the issues even amongst my own families smh.
It would be nice but I don’t see unity happening, to be honest with you I think my fellow black Americans are just wanting to separate ourselves from the diaspora as much as possible these days…
@@lordschild673 I would agree with that. Being half Black-American & being raised us such, I see the negativity that occurs. I've been told I'm not truly African, have been called Akata (which people will argue it's not offensive but I take offense to it), etc. The only ties I really have is half of my bloodline & the African friends & family that I have. You should have seen what happened when I said I love both, but prefer Soul Food to some types of African food. All hell broke loose lol.
But in all seriousness, there has to be that distinction. Unity is possible, but only when ALL of the Diaspora recognizes that we have differences & those differences need to be honored. Everything from Soul-Food to Black slang & swagger in the US needs to be respected & honored just as much as every other group.
@@aarondavis2258 that’s true I agree and and wish it wasn’t this way but everyone is biased and just pointing fingers and everyone has way too much pride…
I'm also half Nigerian and half black-American but I was raised as a Nigerian. Unity is so needed.
@@zakiyacarter3714Wow my cousin is half Nigerian and half black American but she grew up in Nigeria (her black father wasn’t in her life) so that girl is 100% Naija lol

Really insightful episode !!
Koach and the gorg woman from Nigeria was the best discussion I’ve watched in a longgg time. That is what respect looks and sounds like.
I’m just some pale white girl from Britain but this is the content that I never know that I needed👏🏼
She was so understanding and open to his point of view. I love that.
I don't think she was from Nigeria, she said her parents were from Nigeria.
She was great but it felt a little hollow getting someone who grew up in America talking about Nigeria.
@Hu Mann Being first gen American isn't the same as being like truly ADOS, though. You stoll get treated differently
@@aboutashow True but their experience would be far more different between someone who grew up in nigeria, went to school, fluently speaks the mothertongues etc.
@@humann5682 I'm an East African who while born there, grew up outside of my country. Despite being also westernized, I was still raised within my culture of origin .... we're talking the language (which my siblings and I are fluent in), the foods, the music, the clothing, a lot of the customs and mindsets, etc. We've also visited frequently, and constantly receive comments of how much has been maintained. I acknowledge that not all diasporan African parents raise their children the same way, but I wouldn't automatically discount the Igbo woman as being just fully American in culture (let alone discounting how she personally self-identifies), and to refer to only her parents as Nigerian.
As an eastern European dude, having met black people in america and africans in my own country, I feel like they're incredibly different. In fact, I even feel black americans are more similar to white americans than to africans, and white americans more similar to black ones than europeans. That's why racism in the US is so ironic to me
That's interesting. Genuinely curious, what brought you to that observation?
@@chocolatecuban Well, for one, there is this comradery between black people that africans don't have. I suspect this is because in the US, many BP live in communities that are often segregated, while africans here are so few and sparse that they just naturally spend more time with whites.
Also to be fair, I've only been to the West Coast, so I suspect some white guy from Kansas is very different from a white guy in LA.
There's many reasons black people and africans are very different to me... ultimately, I think geography and money divide people much more than skin color. Africans here often come from successful immigrant families, while black people are much poorer as a demographic and share a culture that developed on a whole nother continent
I think culture definitely supersedes race in these sorts of contexts. Its natural to gravitate towards people who happen to share the same language as us and national identity as us over some one who shares the same race as us. Initially anyway
We are literally nothing like white americans... we don't even live among eachother, America is heavily still segregated.
I don’t think you’re qualified to judge or compare Africans to African Americans
Ngl i wanna see a Caribbean and African American episode
“I don’t like it when Africans say it”am I the only African who took that to offence😭😭😭😭😭
We have a right to that word our ancestors were called negros too at some point so we can use it
africans not being able to say the n word is kinda goofy to me bc at the end of the day we both african and come from the same place and look the same. An african person can come to american and still be called the n word because it’s a slur used towards BLACK PEOPLE WHO LOOK BLACK
@@TEAMKUTTNUP how do aa and africans looks very diffrent?

glad this video was made, it has always annoyed me that so many people just use the term "african american" as a synonym for "black" when not all black people are american
Perhaps a bad decision by Black leaders then?
wrong black is an "american" culture, if you're of a darker complexion that doesn't mean your black, that means your African decent or whatever may be
Yes, agreed! My FIL has to put AA on his paperwork for everything like IDs and stuff even though he is a Jamaican Indian who moved to the US and is now a Citizen of the US. It’s really weird…
He tells me stories of when he went to job interviews and they were looking for a Black man, they asked him why he lied on the application when it came to race but nothing else applied to him.
That’s an American thing btw.
Black people outside of America have their only nationalities. In the uk for example you can be black British
Yes and this is especially true with whites. They think its “politically correct” to call all black ppl that, even black ppl who aren’t American. But we as black ppl don’t even like to be called African Americans even if we are from America 😅
I love this! Make it a series. Do Italian American vs Italian. This would be so interesting to watch. It feel like it would get spicy
Or a Sicilian, versus Italian!
loved the vibe koach and the woman and the two dudes had ❤
Being born in the mid 90s in the U.K., growing up I rarely heard the n word. None of my family, relatives or friends used it, and as years passed and people became more (I’ll reluctantly use the word “indoctrinated” by American media) I started to hear it a lot more and it kinda irritated me because it wasn’t really a part of Black British culture, but we spend so much time copying black Americans these days that it’s part of the lexicon more than ever now. I asked my dad if black guys in the 60s-70s were calling eachother n***a, he said no, I asked my uncle if they were doing it the 80s and 90s, again, it was no. It gained more popularity in the last 10-15 years. But it’s an American import. It’s not something black Brits collectively used to greet eachother. We may share the skin but we don’t share the culture of needing to flip the n word to become a term of endearment amongst ourselves, we have our own slang. Flipping the term was never a discourse in the U.K. like it was in the states, and anybody who says “ni**a” all the time might be one of _those_ black Brits, you know the the kind! The kind who likes to cosplay as a black American, who spontaneously breaks into an American accent from time to time, (esp if they’re cracking a joke for example or copying something from viral Black American social media trends in the states). They think it’s cool, they like the music, the accent, and they want access to the cultures and they believe their skin tone gives them a pass even though we’re not the same culturally whatsoever. I’ll never tell someone not to say it though, it’s just annoying, be yourself!! Esp bc you can tell the types of black Brits who seem to have downloaded their entire personality from black American social media. I always found it a little embarrassing. 🙄
💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 great point well made. It irritates me too. Hate hearing black people in general using that word. But it’s somehow worse when that black person isn’t American

I think people HIGHLY overestimate how often Africans are viewed as model citizens.
The majority of non black people don't differentiate us in any way. Racism is strong and solely based on how we look and both African Americans and Africans look the same
No true Africans look not all same same like African americas

@@Itzkyrazto see a black person use the N word and make yourself see an issue with it is a different level of kewning.

I would've respected him saying he also doesn't say it. But it's almost like he's suggesting African Americans suffered more than Africans to say that word, which I don't agree with because we share the same ancestors at the end of the day. And it was Africans who were put on ships to America for them to become "African Americans"

@@styoupid4737 debatable, that word was reclaimed by black americans and brought back by black american culture, not africans.

This truly warmed my heart but I think we could have went deeper and asked more/ different questions.
As an Afro Latina, I would love to see this but with us included as well, I think it’s make for a very fruit discussion!
This would be so interesting!
Might as well including the entire black diaspora
Hmmm
@@Iletyoulive there should be a video of that but instead it should be cultural food 🥰
Afro latinas vs White latinas 😂😂😂😂😂
"If he has accent that will make him less dangerous." Seriously?
Always trying to be victims
This was actually so nice to watch 😭💕
There’s something about Koach that always brings me joy❤
It just gladens my heart watching this. We can have really sweet conversations that do not seek to diminish or disrespect our different histories and experiences. My day is made watching this!
As the child of a Nigerian father and Southern Black American mother, this is interesting.
This is bringing back some chaotic cultural arguments between my mama & daddy.🤣🤣
#Yoruba🇳🇬🇺🇸
Is ur family good
My mom is from the Yoruba Tribe as well! I was born in Lagos but haven’t been back since I was a baby. Hoping to visit one day!
Haha I bet those convos were spicy! Who usually wins the argument?
@@sharon6981 Igbo person here. Both Yoruba and Igbo are not tribes but ethnic portions of Nigeria's hella diverse population. Just an FYI
@@nokeechia tribes are considered as ethnic groups 🙄🙄🙄
The bit of him not wanting us to use the n word cos we Africans was wild.. Absolutely ridiculous
Why should u ....it's not your culture....🤣🤣🤣...y'all wanna be us so bad
Your parents & grandparents say it? Y’all use it as a term of endearment in your country?
@@quandadon5882 I'm not sure about that, but they've used it on some few occasions. This side, its like a way of saying "brother, friend", at the end of the day, all black people can use it.
I don’t think he meant in that way
I was raised here since I was in diapers proudly on the south side of Chicago , and all my friends were black American. Most of my ex bf’s were black Americans and my husband is black American, and one thing I can say is that my husband says the N word a lot , and his family calls me N word, my black American friends call me the N word, but I like to use ninja. I think it depends on how deeply involved you are in the black community here . My parents had been here for more years than me, and hardly know any black history, black terminologies or hood lingo. There was a vast language barrier with my parents , and I had to call them on their bs for not knowing anything about their black American kin 🤦🏾♀️ thank you for this dialogue
damn, that green hat guy always be disagreeing with his partner, i feel like he got something against africans
None of the things he said were disrespectful and at the end of our conversation she understood where he was coming from so why do you have to take it upon yourself to think hes hating on somebody when he said nothing hateful?
He doesn’t they just both have strong opinions and that’s qleight
Fun fact: everyone has their own opinions and point of views
@@pinkiepiereincarnate2291 LMAO I hope you're joking. She was just sympathetic to him bc she didn't wanna get in trouble with black Twitter. He has a lot of hate towards Africans and all he needs is someone to press the button and boom, it flows.
you genuinely lack comprehension skills. Please fix that.
Koachs point about the n word really resonated with me because I am Nigerian and I m one of the Africans who consciously doesn’t say it because it never felt like it belonged to me but I felt kinda embarrassed about it especially with music/culture but this made me feel seen. Never had anyone else say it glad they did!!
I agree!!
Wtf are you even saying!!!?? I'm an African too buddy and I'm struggling to make any sense out of what you typed! You feel "SEEN" because a Black American says Africans should not use the N word?? the sooner you realize most of these African Americans don't rate you the better for you.... they're so quick to pull the racism card and yet they see Africans as inferior!! Hypocrisy at it's peak
He made no sense, You think the colonizers waited til they shipped the Africans to America to call them the n word, they were calling them that in their own land as well so him saying that made no sense to me
Except Africans still get called the N word, so it shouldn't really be gatekept.
@@ykoijin1310 absolutely
I wish this video was longer!!! Such a great conversation!!!
I enjoyed this video
Such great pairings on this one. Well done! Might there be a part 2?
I don’t know about English speaking African countries, but in Francophone African countries, the n word was used by the colonizers and then during the time of decolonization, many Francophone African authors started using the word to redefine its meaning to the point where it became a casual word in the same way it has for African Americans (it is a different spelling though since it is in French). It did become a trend nowadays to use the n word in the English spelling but Africans definitely have a strong connection with the word.
Wow, I did not know that. Thank you for this interesting piece of information. We are more connected than we think.
Africans do not have a strong connection to the word. If that were truly the case, then yall wouldnt have had to latch onto our word. you would have already had your own word to use.
I always called him dark Vader until I seen it spelled in a commercial
THE BEST TRUTH OR DRINK OF ALL TIME! You all really captured it.
Wish I could have been a participant in this. Love this kind of content. These kind of conversations are needed and will help bring understanding on both parts.
A very interesting and needed conversation among Africans & African-Americans. Especially loved the dialogue between Koach and the woman from Nigeria. Although, I didn't agree with his opinion of Africans saying the n-word or how the police would view us totally separately from African-Americans, a great discussion all around.
As a Moroccan, I was so happy to hear even for a split sec my country's name being recognised as an African Country. A lot of Africans think that Morocco is an Arab country and refuse to recognise us as Africans only cause we speak Arabic and cause some of us are light skinned. But they tend to forget that Morocco was invaded by the Arabs and the iberians hence why some people's DNA are mixed. Overall tho, the country and its people are still African and we would love it if more people would start recognising it. Other than that, I loved this video, it was very fun to watch and at the same time it was very informative!
You are right. Altough let's be honest it goes both way. Some north African don't like the "african" name. But again you are totally right. Peace.
Subsaharan Africans do not consider Morocco an Arab coin at all. They consider Morocco (The land) an African country and the people there consider themselves Arabs. Don’t say it’s not true because even tho you don’t, most do call themselves Arabs and are closer to the actual Arabs from the Arabian peninsula.
@@lawtraf8008 but dna test proved it wrong. The are in majority amazigh berbère.
@@lawtraf8008 I’d say that way of thinking has decreased throughout the years and has stayed with the older generations. Most of the people from my generation would consider themselves as Amazigh rather than Arabs. If anything they’d rather call themselves and be called Amazigh/african than arab.
dont twist the narrative please...your country refused to join the Au AU and went to apply for the EU because you didnt feel like one of us only to come back after they rejected you.....also lets be real with each other we know how North Africans treats treat the rest of us
That lady reminds me of Lizzo. She’s beautiful & seems so sweet and understanding. I want to be on one of these
Drop a part two or a longer cut of this video. Plus I'll echo the other comments where this needs to be a series featuring different combos of people. Love it.
7:48 I absolutely love how he's giving this example to an African person _without_ an accent, sitting right across from him.. 🙄
Let’s not act like Africans don’t be prejudice towards black americans
“My tribe is Compton” finished me😭🤣
Wow! Thank you for making this a video! Awareness of topics like this is so interesting and honestly, eye-opening.
2:59 This should be played, full-blast, on-loop as modern-day punishment when someone is imprisoned for racial injustice.
For real.
I absolutely love the polite lovely discourse between them. Everyone’s like “we’re in it TOGETHER” 💀
Honestly I don't get the "African American" label, I feel like that term should be for us Africans, not black Americans, They should just be called Black
It's like dude forgot the people that were called the N word were African first...
Ignore them, the moment she said nigerians don't use the n word I knew she was either lying or never live/been to nigeria
I’d be interested to see first generation immigrants and their children (either fully or half born of (a) first generation immigrant(s)) play truth or drink.
The MOST telling thing was them thinking them kids knew it was Darth Vader. They most definitely did not. For sure thought it was dark vader
When she yelled "African-Americans" I knew exactly who she was talking about 😂
I really enjoyed this. I could see some couples and good friendships formed from this group. I like how open people were with listening and answering.
We need this to be a series Part 2-3-4-5 🎉
African Americans are a hybrid of European, African, and native American. Different people really.
As a Nigerian i would say we honestly don't give AF about the N-word
Please tell that to the people in the comments making it seem otherwise.
Opening sequence had me bro. “I don’t like it when Africans say it??” Like wtf are you talking about bro. Does he know that it’s the same lineage and that racism and colonialism didn’t just happen in North America only.
No one ever should use the N word, especially not black people. Why would any black person call another black person this way?!
1:02 "to being black"
Yea.. racisim ain't gonna be solved in my lifetime.

what are u on about
@@daddyphil3842 " to being white"
*the ADL wanna know your location
@@lubu523 you are slow
@@daddyphil3842 I think you are the slow one. how did you not understand what he said?
As an African living in America, I don’t think we should use the N word because it's not part of ur history.
Also, I agree about being the "model minority," I've been treated differently once people found out I was African and not African American
Where in Africa are you from? The model minority phenomenon is true for many African immigrant communities. Nigerian Americans for example earn a higher average salary than white Americans.
does he think the n-word only is degrading towards African-americans? does he realize it exists in other languages? and people usually pick up what they are raised around regardless of how they parents talk.
People who come from racially homogeneous countries see themselves differently than those in racially heterogeneous countries for obvious reasons. In such countries, the focus may be more on ethnic groups. Co-opting terms and speech that don't speak to your experience simply because you've changed locales is a choice and it's a choice that the ethnicity truly involved does not have to sanction.
@@mbrattoo1 how does it not speak to your experience when to every white person you're viewed the exact same as a black american? especially when you're dark skin like the girl from nigeria.
@@mbrattoo1 the first gen africans lived in america their whole life so what lived experience do they have of being in a homogenous black country?
What other languages?
Africans in America are constantly telling whites they can say the n-word so naw yall can't say it.
I'm so sorry that there's so much division between races and that there's still so much hostility against fellow humans. Love, respect and celebrate all of your uniqueness ❤
I loved this, very insightful!!
All i can say is in my experience, as a Ghanaian, the people who have talked down to me the most are the black Americans. Interesting video though
I've NEVER been to the US but i can also assume they'd be hostile towards me, they look unfriendly.
