      This video truly saddens me. 😔💔 I'm African-American and I've been looking forward to visiting Africa but this makes me anticipate the tainted pre-judgement that will swing on both sides as social media promotes this divided narrative. And I'm in support of cultures defending themselves and stating their truthful experiences. It will bring a domino affect of the few ignorant, it has the potential to spoil the connection between us w other worlds/cultures.

      This is absolutely correct, the dominant society absolutely foments division between black Americans and black Africans. They tell us Africa is full of primitive naked savages living in grass huts with bones in their noses, meanwhile telling African immigrants we are uneducated violent criminals living in the projects. Is there any wonder we don't associate with one another?

      You're right. Unfortunately we're too blind and ignorant to see who the real enemy is and instead fighting amongst ourselves.
      It's just like when south Africans were attacking other Africans in South Africa saying the other Africans were taking their jobs and reducing their financial growth. When in reality it's WS in South Africa that keeps black South Africans in slums and poor. It's the white minority that owns the majority of land there not black South Africans and certainly not other Africans. It's the minority whites who have the economic power.

    As a Jamaican born , living most of my life in London and has visited Africa. I had my phone stolen by street kids in Ethiopia. I immediately got in back but at a price. Despite this , I still think
    Ethiopia is one of the best most hospitable places on this earth. The kindness of the people there , complete strangers, can bring you to tears. I honestly look to going back there as I barely got to see much with the little time I had there.
    Also , it’s such a nice climate. The days are quite warm but not scorching hot at all. And the night are cool, some nights were even freezing.

    I like that this pointed out the widespread of corruption across different continents, however I have a different experience as an American. Although the media has failed to portrait the beauty of Africa, the negative opinions I have gathered surprisingly came from Africans born and raised in Africa. Do you have a video on that. I choose to see things for myself and not just believe what I hear. However, after visiting twice and experiencing Africa for myself as a BLACK American, no matter how much I brag on how wonderful experience was in the Motherland, it was African born citizens who were being negative. I try my best to encourage others to give it a try and just go with caution as you would any place in the world because no place is perfect.
    My main point is, Africans are also discouraging people from traveling to the motherland. Please be aware and look into that if you haven't .

    All my black family, friends and myself, have had extremely poor interactions with Africans who live in America.
    It’s very pretentious to talk about the small precent of blacks that visit Africa and label us all ignorant. But refuse to acknowledge your people who come to America and treat the blacks the same way the whites have conditioned the world to treat us black Americans

And it's heartwarming to hear our fellow Black people in Africa wanting us to "come home" and "unite." So different from what I've ever known. Growing up, all I knew was that we weren't wanted nor desired in Africa. The Africans where I lived who came to America never talked about their homeland, but also never invited us to be part of their lives and what they were doing either. It was always such a strange relationship. This video is very encouraging. Marcus Garvey said, "Africa for the Africans...at home and abroad." That's ALL of us.

      I'm African who lived in the US for nearly 3 decades but left in 2020 because of racially motivated murder of Black People in America by Police Officers. How could Africans in Africa not want Black America in Africa? First of all they don't even know much about you until they end up in America. Thanks to the internet and cable TV, they're starting to understand the race relationship between Black American and other races in America with regards to the horrible treatment that our brothers are enduring in so called land of the free.
      It was actually my personal experience in North America in general, including the United States that makes me want if possible, any Black American willing to relocate to be welcome here. Because in my opinion, based on what my eyes saw as well as personal experiences, America just isn't a place for Black People. And that's the reason I'm writing from the motherland.
      The fact is that Africans in the motherland should be welcoming you more than those in America, because they haven't gotten their minds Whitewashed, brainwashed and tainted with the White Man's "DIVIDE AND CONQUER" technique against Africans and my lovely Black American brothers in America

That ALWAYS stuck with me because as black Americans our connection to our ancestors was cut and it's beautiful to know that they see us as the same as them, not different because we live in the US. What's more is they do NOT like the treatment we get here, and during slavery AND during civil rights, MANY AFRICANS came to support American black people.

    This is real talk. As I said before, if I can just not live in fear of gun violence, I'm doing good by being in Ghana. Nobody is walking around armed and dangerous in Ghana. If I can walk the street without a white person crossing the street then my mental health is improving. Nobody crosses the street when they see me coming in Ghana. In Ghana I feel like a whole human. In America, I live my life walking on eggshells and calculating the best ways to not run afoul of whites. Don't go there, do talk to him or her, don't knock on this door, do apply for that job, don't be in that white space. The last time I was at a beach or in a pool was in the 90's. I went to the beach within 2 days of arriving in Accra. African Americans don't understand how powerful that is. We have become accustomed to living this stunted life in America. We have made peace with being 2nd class citizens. We are fighting hard to get something that someone else is fighting even harder to make sure we never have in America. And I feel that these African Americans with all of this animosity towards Africa are going to cause Ghana to close the door. Why allow such toxic people into their country? As we can see, no other countries are extending the same welcome. Only Ghana has reached out to us and we need to treat this as the treasure that it truly is.

    Honestly., it’s some of the interactions that Black Americans have with Africans IN America., and even online with Africans in the UK., create the animosity and misconceptions Black Americans have about countries in Africa. Many Africans come to america with PRECONCEIVED ideologies about Black Americans. But most of the Black Americans that I have heard talk about going to countries in Africa, and being treated lovely.
    5:01 And, THIS is what I was talking about about previously. While this African woman is saying that Black Americans need to leave these misconceptions behind., it is ALSO AFRICANS who come to America and HAVE PRECONCEIVED IDEAS ABOUT BLACK AMERICANS. Just as the young lady before this woman ran down a list about our homeless population, food stamps, etc.
    So it’s NOT JUST a “Black American problem”., it’s is a DIASPORA PROBLEM. Because Caribbean people are NOT exempt either. So how about we ALL STOP regurgitating WS ideologies against ONE ANOTHER. Because WE ALL HAVE BEEN COLONIZED, and SOME STILL hold WS ideologies about other Black people. And STOP these ridiculous “diaspora wars”. Because as a Black American I CONTINUE to see people from the continent (especially those who immigrate to the Uk) getting online and saying despicable things about Black Americans., and using our VERY PAINFUL HISTORY of Chattel Slavery as an insult to us.

Had that been the other way round, Africans would not be allowed to hear the end of it. Black Americans instigate and get upset when Africans retaliate in kind.

    In my early 20’s, I worked for a big furniture and home design company, and I had many African clients. We sold these giant tapestries to hang on the wall, and they had maps painted on them. Old maps. I remember my African clients always getting excited to see that Africa was actually the right size. I was young, and while I knew the maps used in schools were catered to the country they were teaching in, I drastically underestimated exactly how altered they were. I had no idea Africa was actually THAT big; you can fit the US in Africa 3 times, and you still come up short. That is a very tangible example, but I think it does speak to how US-centric the American mind is trained to be.
    I’ve had the good fortune of being able to travel abroad since I became an adult. My parents couldn’t buy us material things, and we definitely had to scrimp and save to afford anything that could be considered a “luxury”. My parents did all that saving to take us on trips. Car trips. Nothing fancy. We would just drive around the country, pack food in coolers, and take in the free sights and local culture as we went. That kind of travel means you have to interact with the people, and it’s very easy to dispel myths and stereotypes if you actually focus on the locals. Because you find out that everyone is basically the same, no matter where you go. I have found that to be true internationally as well. I have expressed a desire to travel to Africa for as long as I remember, but many have tried to dissuade me. “You’ll get robbed, kidnapped, sick, and harassed,” they’ll sometimes say. Really? Because they told me the French would be rude, and they weren’t. They told me the Jamaicans would try to rip me off, but they were super welcoming. Heck, there are parts of my own country people have told me we’re scary, but I would go and have no idea what they are talking about. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a very diverse, urban area with it’s own rules and eccentricities, and it takes more to put me off? Or maybe it’s just that a lot of people are afraid of anything they don’t immediately understand.
    I will say that, at least in my part of the US, you are more likely to be low-income in general, and waaaayyyyy more likely to be low-income if you are black. And something most low-income people don’t get to do in the US is travel. Like, anywhere, even in your own country or region. Not being able to travel can leave you pretty ignorant, no matter your race. I swear, liberals could change a lot more hearts and minds if we stopped spending so much money on political ads, and just gave people travel vouchers to other countries. Turns out we’re not the best in the world at A LOT of stuff, and it’s hard to deny that when you see it with your own eyes. I hope to see Africa with my own eyes, hopefully soon. 😊

The “Oh, I’m not one if them.”
      But you’re right though, don’t keep coming to the USA with the same western narrative you complaining about. It goes both ways.
      I will admit it’s more 😮pleasurable communicated and getting to know continental born and raised Africans and Carribean (Africans) natives because these are the folks rooted in the culture and have a deeper and pure perspective and outlook on life in my opinion. As a Foundational Black American I relate to them more than first and second generation immigrants.

      Honestly, I think that Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Latinas, Africans, African Americans and all people who identify as Black or African, have all experienced some historical traumas and various manifestations of subjugation for just being - just existing. Through the generation we haven't healed because we keep inheriting the traumas of our ancestors or we acquire new traumas which are a result of the harsh world we live in. And we keep blaming one another (the various Afro groups) for the trauma of the other, we keep allowing ourselves to be divided, yet all of us are still oppressed by the same people who started this mess. They profit (especially financially) from our divisions. While they make money, we are still tryna heal but we're also hurting ourselves and each other in the process and we're still the poorest and still the exploited and still the ones who make other people rich.
      It's sad!

    I visited Egypt a few years ago. From one destination to the next, I was chased around by native people there begging me to purchase items and trinkets. It was so bad that my tour guide had to personally escort me around because one seller became so angry with me, I didn't come back to his stand to buy key chains. My experience there only made me solidify the real reason I went there, to see the pyramids. Listening to the women in this video only validates what I have seen all my adult life, underlying discord among African and African Americans. If Africans Americans have any reservations with coming to Africa, there is a fair amount of validity to this argument. From the feed the children commercials, coverage of the Rwandan genocides on tv, seeing blood stained rivers with dismembered body parts, who can blame anyone who has cultivated fears after seeing these things. Of course there is danger and injustice all over the world, but Africa has a long way to go to revamp its image. It is up to its native people to do that. Citing school shootings and gun sales at Wal-Mart are just deflecting from the truth.

    Trust me, you wouldn’t want all African Americans to come home no more than we want all Africans here in America. Let those who are called to go, go, and those who are called to stay, stay. We can all work together from where we are, and from where we want to be. May God’s desires rule and reign over us all.❤

      First most blacks in America are natives to this land. Hold native blood. Not all of us have ancestry and or relatives from Africa or of Africa. We share very similar hue and complexation as our brothers and sisters in and of Africa but not all blacks of America are African. There is a lot of history we turn blind eye to just saying. How can you not want a certain people to whom the lands belong. #confusion

      @@lilliebelcher1102 There is no black American native. There are of course blacks from Asia, like the Pacific Islanders and Indian blacks, otherwise you are an African if you are black. Prove me wrong by showing your DNA if you are black. Don't listen to all those rubbish by those who are hunting for other ancestral homes because they don't want to have links with Africa because of the brainwashing of their slave masters: I know some are claiming to be Hebrews or Arabs or anything else, they have been enslaved mentally, what they deserve is sympathy.

    People from Africa have always looked down on black Americans.
    Don't you think it's time to stop this on both sides.
    Very good video on what the issues really are.

      I don't know how all of them are but the African women I work with are so rude. I almost got fired ... had to ignore them because I know my mouth. I'm good here in America .. even though it's not the best country - I would consider buying a second house in Jamaica. I'll visit Africa but I don't want to live there. I agree.

    i was a migrant. When i returned to my "mother land" i found myself in a "culture shock". Everything was totally different. Habits were different....I realized that somethings that was said about my country were real. Thus, it is important that people of African descent go to their Continent and check things for themselves. Poor people are everywhere in the world. lack of medical assistance, if not any, the same. Homeless sleep on the streets and get kicked as they became a burden to "society", "comparing mass shooting in schools (cannot describe the feeling) to thieves, rapists, pedophiles etc. is absolutely out of place. No laws against selling of weapons? No age of consent for possessing weapons? Mental Health for possessing weapons ? What is this PRIVATE PROPERTY thing? What about children soldiers below the age of 8 in burundi and Sierra Leone, not to talk about on-going conflicts? It is a mess just anywhere and it is indeed up to us to be honest with one-self . It is a difficult subject and the western world at times goes back to the ottoman empire and the continent itself and their rulers even back in the days. If one wants their culture to remain intact that is fair enough but they should also expect that everything's not roses.
