Kindly listen to JAY Z song GIRLS, GIRLS.
Jay Z was condescended towards Africa.
He looked down on Africa which he considered very BROKE.
some African Americans still hold this view.
I think its hard to see what a group you arent in experiences when youre not in that group. Theyre in africa and cant relate to what black people go through, you are black american and cant understand what africans go through in america. I grew up as an african in america and black americans tortured me because I was dark skin and obviously african. BUT most of my friends were black americans, i love black americans and their culture because as I grew up I realized that colorism and being close to black/africaness was seen as a negative thing for a long time. If you can under stand how dark skinned people are bullied you can understand why an african would be viewed as something negative that some people want to distance from.
I’m African American and my DNA tests shows I’m about 25 percent Nigerian - and my mom is about 30 percent Nigerian. This makes sense because my mom has a lot of ancestry from Virginia and we know a lot of people from the region known as Nigeria today were brought to Virginia. Some of my Nigerian ethnic groups are Igbo, Yoruba and Ijaw. So I’m trying to learn how to make some Jollof and Moi Moi 😂 I would love to visit Nigeria someday.
You would enjoy your visit sis, love from Nigeria ❤
Oh my god you need to come home sis ❤❤❤❤❤
Make the jollof! The hype is real😅
I'm from Ijaw
Please would love to be your tour guide anytime you visit
We Nigerians all knows that 95 percent of African Americans are originally from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I have to comment on this issue. I am a Russian man and my wife is a Nigerian. She told me something very similar to this topic. She said anytime she sees any African american, she always get some kind of reaction within her deep in her soul, she said it feels like she is related to them(African American) and I asked her why do she feel that way, and she said because during the slave trade, her ancestor's brother, cousin, uncles and any of the relatives could have been taken too. So when she see any descendant of the slave trade victim, she feel like she is related to them.
My Wife would hear an African song, melody, or tune and leave it on repeat because she feels a deep connection. My last group of work friends was from the motherland and we ALL connected. I find it all to be cool fam ! 😎
As long as you are black I see you as an African. I'm Nigerian, Ogoni by tribe ❤❤❤
Deep rooted plantation one's will fight u on this but truth can never be denied. I feel u
"Special breed" isn't what it sounded like. In naija speak, it really just means special.
I know. The use of language is different even though it is the same English. He probably meant it as a term of endearment but to the American ears, it sounds like something else, like a special breed of cattle or something. This is why we all need to be patient with one another and give some grace to each other when people speak because what is meant when said may be misconstrued by the listener.
Im from UK and we just mean "different". Theyre super defensive. Its why I cant deal with black Americans.
I think he just meant different
As a Nigerians and Yoruba by tribe, i know the history but I see myself in every African American. Our stories our singular as a people, but our destinies are shared. We are one people.
I see a tomorrow when the spin masters wouldn't have a hold on dividing us any longer and our brothers and sisters will be united as one people....
Words can't express my love for the African Americans. Their descendants have been through a lot in the land of the unknown and if we African in general can show so much love and a knowledge the sins of the past in respect to slavery, then our unity will be in sight.
So much love from Lagos.....
Guys.......
Thank you for such warmth and kindness.
Much love, fam!
thank you, much love to nigeria...to ALL AFRICA, FROM AN AFRO AMERICAN IN KENYA.
As a collective group black Americans have never wronged ANY gruopor ethnicity. We been welcoming and for a long time at that. We upheld and pushed for black unity and pan-africanism. But at some point the like minded brothers and sisters from the diaspora stopped coming and the only people who starting coming was people either willing to undermine and sabotage our efforts or those who were willing to stand with the oppression class. WE fought for immigration but then the people we thought were allies decided that we demanded too much and were ungrateful. Nevermind the fact that until now, we have never advocated
JUST for us.
African Americans are brothers and sisters who grew up in different lands, we love you and that's all that matters.
Well said ! Sending love your way!
To call someone a 'special breed' is actually a compliment, it is more to do with positive/uncommon character, traits or abilities than race. You just misunderstood the term.
The official definition of the term "special breed" when applied to people is "distinguished, set apart from, or excelling others of its kind".
He was complimenting African Americans, actually.
We've heard that term with a negative connotation before. It's nice to know he meant well!
@@TheDemouchetsREACTthe opposite is the case in Nigeria street language. It's rather a compliment 😊
@TheDemouchetsREACT special breed is like saying a special person
It is a compliment! That is the way we see Africa Americans. That is why when they visit Nigeria, and we meet any of them we kind of try not to offend them, but to protect them even from our various tribes in Nigeria.
@@TheDemouchetsREACTthe white man do not call you special breeds, they call us sub humans. Special breeds is a compliment
Most Nigerians and Africans are welcoming, understanding, genuinely intrigued by african Americans and your culture like a missing relative, we are awaiting your return. Hoping to share stories, experiences, we acknowledge differences and respect them.
We love to see our people connect!
The best person to understant this question is a Nigerian who lives in America or who grew up in America as a young person. These days, there are so many Nigerians who live in the U.S and who have Kids born in the USA, that the differences are not that much any more. These Nigerians could be divided into two groups. The Nigerians who educate themseves about the African American History and culture and the Nigerians who just live here in the U.S and just observed the African American ways of life. All people of African origin share lots similar features and genetics with their fellow African American or African Caribbean and South American of African descent. The difference has always been the envirolment one grew up in.
Special breed in Naija English is a good compliment please
In Louisiana Okra (okwuru an Igbo word) is called "Okri", in French its called "gombo", in Creole it's called "Févi" which is a word the Fon people of Benin
African Americans ARE a tribe unto themselves with a DISTINCT culture characterized by values of RESILIENCE, RESOURCEFULNESS AND DEFIANCE shaped by over 400 years of what they have endured. These qualities have made African Americans distinguish themselves broadly as creative, athletic, talented, and have given African Americans keen sense of Empathy, justice & fairness.
These same values of resilience resourcefulness & defiance also naturally make them broadly loud, aggressive, distrustful. As any one from the African Continent will attest each tribe can point to cultural values that have both positive and negative aspects within their respective tribe and the tribes of others. And with every tribe, there are things that we can largely agree on and things that bring mistrust and divisions.
I have lived in NYC for 27 years. I did experience the alienation of Africans in the late 90s and early 2000s from African Americans. So it was a thing. Not very prominent in today's world, but it is still there.
I am an African currently residing on the stolen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders' land that is known as Australia. First and foremost, i want to thank you for your content because you are doing so much in educating and uniting the diaspora. Secondly, apologies for the dissertation, i am just passionate about our diaspora and will ALWAYS go up for my cousins worldwide. Thirdly, i want to say that I HATE the useless diaspora wars that are constantly prevalent on and offline! We must all be kinder and understanding to each others' cultures. To my African brothers and sisters, i HATE when you all state that our African American brothers and sisters have no culture whilst speaking, dressing and adopting aspects of their culture. We all understand tribes as Africans and i wish we would all see and respect our African American brothers and sisters as their own tribe with their own unique and beautiful traditions and cultures. There is so much to learn and respect from a people who have risen from the ashes of slavery and have not only survived but have thrived and soared. They have not only retained customs and traditions from their origins but have also created new traditions, customs and cultures that are admired and appropriated GLOBALLY. They create and move culture not only in their established homeland which is only a global superpower because of their contributions but also GLOBALLY and especially their motherland/place of origin. We give our utmost respect brothers and sisters. To close off this dissertation lol, i just want to say that we should all learn and embrace the beautiful differences yet similarities within our diaspora, there's nothing to be gained in the division of our people...our unity is vital to the overall survival of the diaspora. However in that unity, we must be mindful and respectful...always remember to embrace our differences and even more, our similarities. Much love to all my people across the diaspora🖤🤎❤
love from nigeria
Much love!
I believe there's an unfortunate situation regarding African Americans (AAs)similar to Nigeria. Stereotypes perpetuated by media portrayals, music, and the actions of a very small minority have led to them being unfairly labelled as violent, lazy, involved with drugs, lacking proper upbringing due to dysfunctional family dynamics, and other negative stereotypes. However, the reality is that the majority of African Americans are decent individuals leading productive lives. Media representations have also influenced Africans to view all African Americans as criminals and single parents. It's crucial to challenge these stereotypes not through arguments or conflicts but by highlighting the positive aspects of African Americans (including Nigerians). Your platform provides an excellent opportunity to initiate this change.
Thank you! The amount of judgement stereotypes bring out limits people interactions. Reason why bridging the gap is important, knocking down any mental stress a person may have all based off of media or little knowledge of others.
So love African Americans, especially their accent. I love their women. I crush so much on them.
But on the whole topic as a Ugandan in Africa, I think we need to share culture and understand each other because we all from the same origin although circumstances find us in different areas of the world.
Nigerians also experienced racism, but trust me they won't get offended by any word.
If you give something importance, it becomes important -Ijaw proverb.
Tht is a wise proverb. Im gone have to remember tht one.
I understand you. But then, black Americans and Africans didn't go through the same form of racism historically. So words is going to have different impacts based on someone's experience.
The 'n' word for me as a Jamaican means nothing. Nada, zilch. Call me that and my feelings will
never be hurt.
My Jamaican people are built different 😂, it takes a lot to annoy those folk, like a lot. Other people tend to play on it, which is not good.
@@arubuolaebenezer9986👍🏻. We'll probably give that person a good cuss out and describe what they resemble, which is nothing good 😀.
Ok😂😂😂 only cowards stand down when they're being disrespected. That's why the Chinese and Indians own Jamaica now because of that cowardice attitude.
Maroons use it as a derogatory for the non Maroons who descend from those who were still slaves.
Me as an American idgaf about that word either
I never believed AA’s were Africans until I met my Haitian friend !! Schooled me a lot
The Haitian are more of the igbos tribes
I'll be honest with y'all out in Nigeria, we see you guys as "cool", not like "cool headed", I mean cool cool, everyone wants to imitate the black american culture out in nigeria, even in our slangs and all, when people want to up their game, they try to act "black american" if there's such a thing. See what happened to kai when he went, that should tell you just how cool y'all are seen over there, Most of the people in this video I believe they thought "african americans" as africans who travelled to the states, because in Nigeria, most people know y'all as "black american" not "african american"
Yes but I commented a couple of years ago all AA’s don’t act that way, too loud and ghetto acting, twerking and grating all over the place drinking until you just about to pass out. Dressing like a two dollar whore and someone spoke about New York little too much for me every city is not like that or expensive to live in like there so it’s more to US then New York and California and Hollyweird maybe one day visit but do your research about what type of entertainment environment you want to be in everybody don’t do clubbing.
What the 2nd man said is how I always felt but then I am not a black American so don’t feel anything when they make that statement. As a Nigerian, I feel as good or even superior to anyone lol!!!
We all should feel this way about ourselves.
Well the 1st guy meant well. Maybe wrong choice of word "special breed" but in his context i think he meant, "unique people". Most African Americans came from West Africa. So i as a Nigerian see African Americans as our people accross the Western Hemisphere who have adapted and evolved the African culture, spirit and soul in the so called "New world". We just got to learn and understand each other to bridge the gap.
We never know the direction a person's comment will go. We understood he meant well as he continued to speak.
When you have experienced racism you will never make that statement about the N word. I'm south African so am very aware about racism. Our brothers from the west haven't experienced it as hard as some of us. In SA you will go to jail for calling someone a racist word. That is why we can easily relate to black America. Our history is the same.
Well, in america, we call white people names and seem to get rewarded for it. White people, on the other hand, get punished sometimes for calling us names
YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO TELL AFRICANS BORN IN AMERICA POST SLAVERY AND JIM CROW HOW HARD WE HAVE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING. WE DONT GO AROUND TELLING SOUTH AFRICANS THAT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH APARTHEID WAS 'NOT HARD ENOUGH.'
@@KilifiKornerwest Africa not America😂 read to understand not to reply
@@KilifiKorner slow down babes. You are too quick on your fingers. Shouting at Thembi for saying that we can relate to you😂 you owe Thembi an apology. Also, we are not here to play Oppression Olympics. Calm down. Relax.
@@KilifiKornerwhy are you shouting?
I had my DNA and was revealed 51% Nigerian, 3% Amazonian, 1% Angolan.I talk to many Nigerians daily and one is your Nollywood actor i feel closer to Nigerians than SA. I see a lot of similarities between Nigerians and Black Americans. I've always longed to go to Africa. I'd rather go to Nigeria than Ghana. Monifee my Nigerian brothers and sisters 🖤🙏🏿
Love this for you, fam!
You are welcome home ,we love you ❤
@amanaeguale1641 Thank you sister. I hope to meet you one day ❤️
Ok
It is because MOST of the Black Americans and Caribbeans were taken from Nigeriawide
5:59 The issues in America goes deeper than someone saying a word. It’s just how In africa one might be offended by the term ‘jareer’.. it can be used as a slur. It’s the same with the ‘N word” even if you don’t come from that lineage/ background you should still learn their history and have an understanding on how it’s offensive to that group.
The weight of the N word is heavier than “slur” usage. And one MUST educate themselves 100 percent of the word to see why it was first deemed offensive.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT
Jareer is the same for Somalia.
Bariya is the same for Ethiopia-Eritea
The way your husband looks at u sis❤❤❤❤. As a Kenyan married to a Texan, it makes me so happy. He loves you
❤️❤️
I think the first guy meant well. He just didn’t word his statement right.
That's were we have to understand ourselves more.
The facts remains me growing up as an African child watching American movies and music with the standard and quality in the production and technology i always feels like these people are more superior than us
It shouldn’t be that way.
Oh it's so cool that you found a way to express your culture
I think the guy that was talking about the movie is talking about scenarios where they would take about Africa as a very poor remote area. Sometimes they make statements like “ I will fling yo ass back to Africa!” Stuffs like that.
I was born in America but raised in Africa until I was 17. African Americans simply have to go to Africa to acquire knowledge about their culture or have African friends who can teach them. The food, the culture and character you possess can be used to judge in this day & age. We need to connect and unite 🙏🏿 and support one another.
❤ love it we definitely have similarities with a lot of things, like you say we have to come together and relearn each other’s, Thank you ♥️
Yes! Absolutely 💯
The Demouchets family, you guys are doing so well that I think very soon, they are going to be calling you guys to discuss African sociology in conferences!!! Your reasonings and analyses are up to the point!!! Both of you should know by now, I am from Edo/Benin in Nigeria!!!! Love you guys!!!!
Oooh the pressure. My husband would be great at this. I will stick to my books lol Speaking isn't my strong point. Much love!
@@TheDemouchetsREACT The pressure? You are doing so well discussing, and does not take more than that, you have to do the leg work of setting the conferences! I am laughing, the pressure? Don't mind me, I am not at all good at public speaking, no, no, nope! Public speaking scares the heck out of me!!!!!!!
😂😂
great video reaction
Thanks 💯
I love you two❤ , you are perfect for each other and work well together 😊
Sending love back your way❤️. Thank you !
❤❤❤ LOVE ALL MY PEOPLE WITH AFRICAN BLOOD ❤❤❤
I would love to visit Nigeria one day.I been to Africa and loved it the first time i went yes they might not have everything the United States had but I loved everything about it...When I went back I was in love and so ready to move there in the future
Its not the movies showing african Americans feel superior. It's more the online part, where people have said they don't want to be called african. That they are Americans only and that even their great grand parents were born in America. So they should not be qualified as africans also
Black Americans and South Africans have a better connection because their histories are similar. The South Africans that I've known, "get it." They also check the racism. (I've been noticing more Black Americans are relocating to SA and they all seem to love it.) They express similar issues as Black Americans do with Nigerians and other Africans.
Then gtfo of this video on go to another video, don’t spoil it with your anti-Nigerian hate.
They go there because up till now South Africa was the only African country portrayed beautifully in the media, Nigeria and Ghana finally got their spotlight thanks to social media and their offspring in the west
Reacting to the first person and what C said I think we all need to learn from each other and stay together
L😂😂😂 he mean u guys are special
He instantly made us think about animals lol
@TheDemouchetsREACT . It's all about differences in interpretation.
What one deemed as an insult in one place, is actually a compliment in another.
I also want to see these movies 😅😅😅
“Slapping my knee” LoL too funny
“how can we know something we don’t know” indeed, a lot of africans can be so naive about african/black americans, hope it doesn’t discourage y’ll 😭. you’d think aframs just recently made their way to america with the way some ppl talk, no notion of cultural drift or ethnogenesis 😅
"African Americans seem a little bit too proud" WTH?? OF COURSE WE'RE PROUD🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Even in UK we see it as weird. The constant reference to race and being black and proud.
Peace and Love!
From New York by way of Nigeria x Barbados.
Much love!
most people base their opinions on the propaganda they see. and its on both sides.
It’s unfortunate they don’t know they’re being mislead. One must search information for themselves and respectfully take everything with a grain of salt.
If you live in West Africa there are a lot of black people, I don't think any racist person would even have the guts to use the N word, so probably why we aren't that sensitive to it, coz most of us have never been called that . . But I can understand why African Americans would be very sensitive to the N word. There's still a lot of racism in America even if slavery ended over 150 something years ago.
Slavery never ended in America. It still goes on with a new name.
They do that just to control the mind of black Americans, they love the reactions they get from black Americans when called the N word,So they keep doing that to get reactions,That makes them feel superior to black Americans and they also say such N word to remind the black people where they came from
Facts. You get it. In a majority black country you'll rarely experience racism if any throughout your entire lives.
Every Black movie with Michael Blackson will have some silly statement or stereotype about the "African". That's just it.
We are same people.
Some of the movies make negative references to Africans. Especially the series. They overflog the Nigerian prince issue. It's exhausting. Once Nigeria is mentioned, you know it's about to be a negativity fest
We all sat in front the tv at least ONCE screaming “ hey that’s not true at all” 😩
"How can we know something we don't know" that make me realize we from the 'old world' can be too harsh sometimes to Americans (regardless of skin colour) when they try to connect with their ancestry lineage. I don't know if this is good or bad but a lot of us can't help to see you as 'just Americans' (neutral meaning) in the first place. A lot of us don't really care about your once roots to the point we would feel 'the same' in an ethnic? sense. I see how this could sound mean/rude but it's pretty much a just don't care you do you attitude.
It's not harsh as much as it is being realistic and factual. Culture is what defines nationality and a peoples, not genetics, or god forbid, skin colour. Genetics and skin colour defining who is very flawed at best and rac*st at worst
First here❤
Much love!
There are 4000 European companies and 30+ million international expats in Africa, that's more than half the population of AA in the US. The way i see it, the easiest way to bridge the gap is by helping our AA cousins understand that Africa is a place of opportunity because everyone else seems to understand this. I know its no fault of theirs and it's a result of all the negative image of Africa that they have been fed over the years. They have a 1.3 trillion dollars economy, over a million of them are millionaires. If they invested 5% of that wealth in Africa, those high paying expat jobs will be theirs. The natural wealth in Africa will go to the pockets of the children of Africa and the continent would develop also. So they will eat off the land of their ancestors as is their right, they will develop the land in the process too. As for the Africans we have to be more accommodating, African Americans are not less than you are just because they lost their African identity. The partnership between Africans and African Americans is what will determine the future of the black race and the entire world subsequently.
I’m very surprised what he said
In East Africa they started calling Africans Boy it didn’t go down well.
@2.53 Okra is an word derived from the Igbo word Okwuru.
In Louisiana Creole we use a word "Févi" from the Fon language of Benin
In Louisiana Creole we use a word "Févi" from the Fon language of Benin
it is not a one sided thing as you say...the wolrd already know about ameican culture and african american culture...sso the world is saying u should also learn about them...please dont take offense
We hear you, but African American culture as the world knows it isn’t the sacred parts of our culture, traditions, and history.
The first two folks need to learrrrrn.
Sorry you can’t compare African and Black America. Black Americans have been in America for so long that they are American. I think the problem that ppl are seeing among the groups is trying to blend the groups. We need to appreciate our distinct cultures and groups. I don’t believe Black Americans should have the African tag. It doesn’t make sense for them to have that tag because it removes their own identity.
Black/African Americans are not trying to blend to become an African. The point of having to name which type of American we are is the real problem. Asian Americans,Latino Americans, etc. all have to identify in the same way.
Nice video. A lot of of understanding needs to happen from both sides, but I feel like Africans understand African Americans more than they understand us, I'll blame this on the fake media. We understand the impact slavery had on you but do you guys understand that we also suffered "colonialism"? As far as I'm concerned colonialism is a fancy word for systemic "slavery", go research on that. So you see we are all similar in so many ways.
Yes, we have shared this topic on the channel a few times before.
in Nigeria every black man lives very free except if committed a crime,I need my brothers and sisters back to the mother land, the dignity of black man needs to be restored, we can not be the only race seen the other way round.
Demouchets, the lady I see Sierra Leone or Liberia/Ghana traits on you and I guess your ancestors originated from that region without a doubt. 😂😂😂
lol so my Wife have done some ancestral digging and…….. lol

(Was kinda hard watching tho, felt embarssed at some point)
Why the guy on pink zesty😂
This was good. I think that it’s about knowing more about each other’s history and culture. It shouldn’t just be on African Americans or Afro Caribbeans to learn about Africans, in this case west Africans. We should learn about each other. A lot of people really don’t know African American history (including many African Americans), and a lot of assumptions are made. You’d know how offensive and why so many of us get mad with racism if you really know the history. You’d also know the culture is not just rap and hip hop. I see us all as African American ethnic group - but within our ethnic group there is variability based on regional history and experiences. Like the Gullah are a little different than Louisianan people. I’m from New Jersey but have grandparents from North Carolina and Alabama and so all that culture as well as Northern culture influence my upbringing.
I will say when you visit west Africa - it feels like a different world lol It’s just an experience and it made me realize how very American I am. But when you meet genuine west Africans, you will be meeting some really good people. Also African Americans really don’t think we are better than anyone else - we are just proud of who we are. I think because our culture gets amplified so much throughout the world by the US, many assumptions are made about us. People on both sides need to do the work to learn and understand more about each other.
💯 We agree with everything you said, sister! I just know I’ll cry as if it was a recent relative who was taken when we make it to West Africa (I’m an empath😅). I love having conversations with them online. I can only imagine what it will be like in person.
I remember getting excited about getting visits from relatives who moved North just to know “what its like up there” and learn the newest trends. From the outside looking in, people think we are all the same but there is beauty in having us all spread out in 50 states.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Absolutely 💯

Your people said they are not from africa.black Americans said so
The African American families we come from know who we are. No one speaks for us.
A small portion say that.
Special breed lol ,please do not get offended .I am an African and i know that he thinks he is using big words to describe the coolest human biengs on this planet.
15:50 No movie comes to mind atm but even Michael Blackson said so, that when he migrated to the US, he got clowned a lot by black americans, for his accent and stuff. Truth is, on some level and some cases, black americans try to disassociate themselves from Africans, to show that they are not immigrants, they are americans. So when we come over, we have to grapple with the "cast system" and with black americans way towards us. It is really in recent times, especially with the popularity that our music has gained and maybe the strides some Africans are beginning to make in the West, that we see some black americans accepting africans.
Even now, when there is some disagreement or twitter spat between black americans and africans, black americans are quick to be condescending, speaking to africans like we are hungry or uneducated. Which in some cases is an irony because a lot of us a more educated than black folks
... some "black folks," certainly not all or even most. Particularly when it comes to black females.
Your people move to the wrong neighborhoods if what you describe has been your experience(s).
Hello @@jocelynjones2825 I am not trying to vilify anyone, I am only saying what I have experienced and perceived. I will take note of what you said about the neighborhoods, I will also like you to take note of what I have said and if in any way you do or anyone around you does anything I said, be aware of it and if you want to, check it.
I am not sure why you put black folks in quote, I said black americans all through the message, the one time I typed black folks, albeit innocuously, you did the quote thing. Abeg it wasnt done in any malicious way
Sorry im commenting too much😂
No worries.
I agree, I'm exhausted with the what Africans think of black Americans narrative. The focus is always seems to be on us black Americans. The question should be asked throughout the so call diaspora.
Those guys may be referring to movies like Coming to America by Eddie Murphy, and also the wrong belief that Africans live in forest, mixing with Lions, Chimpanzees, Leopard. I mean those wrong notion about Africans
Ah! Valid example. We’d have to rewatch the movie to understand the offensive parts better.

The knowledge of History by Nigerians is very poor going by the speakers. You can only contribute perfectly to this discussion when you have a historical knowledge because History is the study of the past to shape the present and to project the future. You cannot talk about African Americans if you don't have knowledge of their history, you cannot talk about African Americans if you don't know what their ancestors went through, doing that without such knowledge will only result to unfair contributions because History is the study of the past to shape the present and to project the future.. In 70s and 80s, History as a subject in my secondary school days in Nigeria was an interesting subject and thing of joy to students then. But now, Nigerian government has cancelled history as a subject in our secondary schools because of a bitter experience of a Nigerian civil war in which they strongly believed that aura of that civil war still hangs in the air in which may divide the country more. Little knowledge of History by Nigerians is due to Nigerian educational policies which is quite unfortunate.African Americans are loving and good people. There was particular time in my life that I was addicted to black Americans movies, to me, it is just like Nollywood movies. I love you all❤.
The government decision was correct although history is fun, it only useful when viewed as a window into a bygone era not as a chain of causality to the present. From a social cohesion point ,history is dangerous especially when populace views it from a personal and emotional point of view as against an objective, factual and logical point of view. Out of sight , out of mind
That N word is nothing to me
A fundamental feature of AA culture is 'the bling' but what most don't realize is that, it originates directly from Ashanti culture..just take a look at the pageantry when the Ashanti king sits in public and you will see...So as much as AA wish to emphasize that they have developed their 'own' culture, a deep look shows it as deeply African-influenced...so we are not all that different after all!!
INDIGENOUS TO AMERICA NOT AFRICAN...
O wow, That’s good for you.
Stop we’ve been divided for 500 years. You haven’t even invited us back home half of home because some of us are native to this land what is called America if you need to study something find out how some of you sold us? Plus, we created our own culture our own food our own dress prior to the trans Atlantic kidnapping because no one got anything but hardship from some of us leaving Africa.
So what exactly are you trying to say?
Did you say some of us sold us, 😂, am actually the one who sold you especially 😅😂😂
@kielhall8363 Good thing we talk about the issues you haven’t found peace with it on our platforms. Keep the peace my guy, without it you’ll just continue to push against the able body’s that are learning and growing over here.
