--------
In the latest clip, Jemele Hill discussed the idea of African Americans leaving the United States for Africa. She said, due to slavery, some African American don't feel a connection to Africa and have misconceptions about what life in Africa is actually like. Hill also cited people living in America their whole life and buying into the idea that the United States is the greatest country as reasons why more Blacks haven't left the country. Referencing her own experiences in the continent, Hill said she and others felt an immediate connection in Africa. She also said she wouldn't be surprised if more African Americans start living abroad if America's issues with race don't improve. - Zábava
This title has issues
Why black Americans don't move back to Africa...
It's the same reason European Americans don't move back to Europe...
400 years later...
We were all born here and this is all our country now...
True
Facts!
Deep
Ye this title retarded
@So Called Black Man lol real talk
Move BACK to Africa? I was born in Virginia and have never even visited the continent of Africa. How could I possibly move BACK to a place I've never even been to?
No worries, your geno will find itself home one day, even if it takes 1000yrs.
Head first
We were here first. American black Indians.
Exactly
Move forward to Africa.
Vlad said he’s been to African countries then proceeds to name countries not in africa🤷♂️
Bruh🤣
As an African living in Africa, that was very much hilarious... He's been to Egypt and Senegal and he's been to Jordan 😭😭
@@annaileka2181 Yes Egypt and Senegal are in Africa duh. Also at that point the conversation had shifted from relocating to Africa to relocating abroad in General. That's why Vlad mentioned both the African and non-African countries he's been to.
This guy is a deceiver or wholly ignorant.
Why suggest Americans leave their own land?? We were here first!
Is he in Russia? Bc the U.S. is not his homeland.
Africa is being pillaged and overrun even today by the same corporate interests.
Leave where and for what??
We are not Africans... we are Americans who’ve been here for generations. Why flee? We’ve always fought to make America better. The reason other countries haven’t progressed, in some cases, is because their people flee whereas we stay and fight for change.
☝🏾 That part!!
Don’t forget Africans were the ones who sold their own to slavery
American = nationality
Black = ethnicity
Know the difference.
Sleep Bot brained yall fail to realize everything continue to be brainwashed
@@jimmydelcid8779 which means we are black Americans
“Move back to Africa “? How can you move back to a place you never been too?🤔
Are you black? Why are you offended by the title😡😡

Quit calling yourself African Americans then if you have no interest in ever going to Africa.

I don’t call myself African American, I’m a Black American sir.
@BM 20 Then go the fuck home. Go back to where you come from.
Why is anybody black still doing this show??🤔🤔
Good question..

Yet, here you are!
Because they want to..... why don't you make a youtube channel and interview people on your own...hhmmmmm???

Why a bunch of rich people telling us to pick up and leave we broke
They be like: "Go back to your country!"
I be like: "You first!"
lol... this is crazy, lol,, let all go back
@Mike Siegel so if the Mexicans take over America then it’s a Hispanic country
@Mike Siegel in 20 years white men(not mans) will be part of the minority.
@Mike Siegel sure you are.
@Mike Siegel yes because everyone in the world is white and Native Americans weren’t on America first

How we gon go back to someplace we ain't never been
Nothing stopping you from just a visit now
Same way we visit states we never visited
Death Lord... that's incorrect, of your lineage is African, you have a connection through your ancestors. No, not just those that were enslaved, I'm talking about your parents, their parents and their parents. Get your DNA done by African Ancestry.
@@p_black3219 our parent grand parents and great grandparents are BLK AMERICANS
@@paulkbb you said visiting that's not going back. Hes asking why are we being asked to go back when we were never there
I went to school with two African lads and they told me Africans don't consider 'African-Americans' as real Africans. They used to tell me how in Africa, the African-American is despised because of their "double standards" and "victimhood complex". One of them, Ash, even said "they refer to everything as black culture, but know nothing about real black culture outside of America".
Ur African lads sounds jealous. Black Americans are their own ethnic groups. We are of African descent but not African. Many generations removed. We have our own culture and traditions that we created. Some black ancestors have been i the 🇺🇸 since before it was even a country. So us not being real African is true. We Americans of African descent.
Must've been a bad school by then lol🤣🤣🤣 ignore my humor
@@kay3725 politely said✊🏽💪🏽
@@kay3725 Can you tell me what exactly black Americans have as "culture" and "traditions"?
@@MrHowardMoon there's no real black culture outside of America. And you're talking about your own prejudice traits.
Dope vid Vlad thanks. Dope mixtapes back in the day too.
No matter how much he identifies with black culture, at the end of the day, Vlad will never be able to relate.
PREACH my brutha💯🗣
I swear I used to defend him when people would call him a culture vulture but the ignorance in this video is staggering, the fact he doesn't understand the difference between being a refugee and being the descendant of slaves that you don't even know exactly where they came from is mind boggling, what language they spoke, what food they ate, god(s) they worshiped... I'm looking at him like wtf?! this is a guy who's constantly talking about all his friends being black smh
What a stupid ass comment
❤️🖤💚
I know, the guy starts off by saying now I come from Jewish/Russian ancestry. And he doesn't even realize that he is able to identify his origin as far as a country and ethnic/religion. THAT'S SOMETHING BLACKS CAN'T DO!!! He thinks he can relate, but he can't.
The country of Africa lol ...she definitely not going back 😂😂😂
Me either
@@BLACKDUP84 Shame on you, we don't expect you.
KUZY WIT DA UZI shut up mark
Right....lollll
Isn't Africa a Continent???🤣
"There's no inequality over there, everyone looks the same". That's just ignorant. Discrimination occurs among tribal lines, your last name and your dialect. Inequality persists. Why do you think the have been more civil wars per capita on the continent over the past 4 decades?
I went to Ghana in December last year. Was it the year of return or the year of $returns$ for the Ghanaian government. With over $2 billion dollars in revenue generated by visits from the diaspora alone....I hope they build a proper waste management facility. It was a spiritual experience seeing the slave castles and visiting the country. And I'm not trying to speak negatively. But I was treated like a walking dollar. I mean I get it, but I'm telling the truth. If I had the means to and a significant passive income I would live in South East Asia. Thailand, Cambodia Vietnam, Philippines and Indonesia were my happy place. I want Africa to succeed and I support any Black family from America that wants to make that move to Africa. But make sure you can have a better overall standard of living than you did here in America. No racism or murderous police bonus.....country underdeveloped and lettin China take all the resources that has to change.
I feel u as a Jamaican I’m staying in america
What about Jamaica though? Can it be a first world powerful country like a Black United Emirates? Black Dubai?
Africa is the future
@@agyapongantwidavid535 The time for that was my grandparents generation. Now , there are some problems but , I wouldn't move there .
That 2 billion is nothing. Even before the year of return Ghanaians living abroad sent remittances averaging 4.5 billion annually. The 2 billion is not what Ghana is living on. Ghana exports gold, cocoa and oil generating billions of $.
Sees the title and goes straight to the comment section lmao
Me to!!
For one, the correct answer Jemele is that we are "American" - We aren't immigrants like VLAD who "flee" from our home country to go be famous in someone elses homeland. He has a totally different perspective and story. he didn't build America. We did. Second; Why don't you ask every white American why don't they go back to Europe? We are all American for better or for worst. People only analyze and critique our story because its the worlds greatest Freedom struggle. And all these running immigrants and refugees come here in comfort and give commentary as to what they feel we should do. No, you should go back and fix your broken and dying country and keep quiet. Third: Why would i want to leave "my country" the one me and my ancestors built which is the most powerful country in the world to go to one of the countries in Africa? I've been three countries within the continent and those Africans "want to relocate to the United States"!! Just like Vlad! I'm not giving up my country so that someone else can come in a benefit. I'm American. ADOS. End of Story. Aint no going anywhere. The real question is why doesn't VLAD pack up and go help build and restore Russia? Unlike VLAD and is family,. ADOS "stays and fights for change" in "our home country" to make it better for us "and" immigrants "like VLAD and his family". But VLAD didn't even stick around to make Russia a place where we could relocate to and have better lives. He ran and he has zero plans on going back to Russia. Knock it off with the disrespect.
Michael Wallace . See YT, Copper coloured indigenous aborigines, Millions of Black People living in North America for thousands of years & traded with Africa, before (Native Indians from Asia) & (Europeans) Arrived. Only 5% of Black Slaves came from Africa & most African countries don't have stories of Europeans taking Slaves. Very interesting.
Thank you.
I don't agree that blacks should move back to Africa to this utopian unrealistic view, but I also don't believe that we should isolate our final home to America. We should go where opportunity presents itself and if Africa shows sustainability and promote high living conditions for all then it is okay. But if the governments are corrupt it does not matter how much money you make, it will only benefit the upper class and it is morally fruitless. I wholeheartedly agree with investing in companies that have a high ROI there, considering no corruption. In addition, I agree that the Nigerians should go back first to build up their country to European standards, they know their language and culture and are very affluent in Western society. ADOS should follow and invest in promising African companies but where the company has very stringent regulations on business practices. A trickle is okay, but just like gentrification in high-value cities (eg. NYC), too many of us will raise alarms.
Its GLAD
Thank you many don't even know the real Egypt is actually Memphis and that fake one was actually built by the Rothschilds..
All we know is this country ,we’ve been here too long,I can’t go back to somewhere I’ve never been
You would go to Jamaica though.

So visit, nothing is stopping you.
Weeb Enthusiast ancestors didn’t come from there
you that house nigga that Malcom X spoke about
I'm an American born Ghanaian. I lived in Ghana for a few years and the overall opinion I heard from them about African Americans was love, compassion and admiration for how you've overcome such horrible circumstances. I say this to African American folks, Ghana really does welcome you back home.
Oh I know now that brother polite revealed the museum’s honoring black American heroes. I almost cried learning that we are celebrated in Ghana. Much love to my Ghanaian brothers and sisters.
We are already home
C'mon black Americans. Come back home but please leave that snobbiness that america taught you at the door . West Africans are warm and familiar people. We will talk and interact with you like we knew you our whole life . So don't act all American and stand off ish . Jump in and engage .
@@analyticalmindset we are already home
Slavery was ENDEMIC in Africa over 700 years before the transatlantic cargo shipment even began from African slave markets, and at that time Africans and Arabs had been ravaging European shores for slave cargo. MILLIONS of white Europeans were taken by African and Arab slave traders. That's where the world slave comes from (Slav, Eastern European). 50% of Islamic Africa was enslaved by African rulers and their Islamic allies. To claim that African Americans went through horrors when their own home countries engaged in slaver for hundreds of years is a bit rich.
@DJvlad Before Google, you would have to make the effort to research. Back in the day my dad made us pull out the Encyclopedia Britannica and the newspaper when we had debates about a topic.

@@lipbalm9123 is that we as in u a citizen of a African country or we as a descendant of a family of slave traders? Yes Africans sold other Africans but they themselves saw their country enslaved by Europeans so there are victims everywhere. What we have in common is far greater than what separates us so building a future free from oppression of the body and spirit should be a universal goal.

“There is no inequality over there.” Vlad is really showing his ignorance
There's a lot ignorant people in the comment section.. I moved to Africa in 1990 lived in Douglasdale ... inequality is everywhere but if I had to measure my homeland to africa I experienced more in the US.. look what's going on over there now.
@@Stress7820 , there are some riots in the u.s., but it's a large country. In the vast majority of places its normal.
I believe he meant racial inequality. He meant that at least you know as a black person in africa, that your skin color wasn't a detriment to whether you being successful or not.
Come to think of it, big as the u.s. is africa is much bigger. People are being selective with facts, comparing the best parts of africa with the worst parts of the u.s.
@@offmymeds2994 Thats how selective bias works. Its why you take all the pity comments with a grain of salt. Some people are so interested in seeing negative and blaming every thing they will find anyway to look at the situation to suit that desire. Same way Religion came about and remains to this day. Humans are so capable of being deluded. Of course im not saying Racism doesn't happen, it does, but its the overall "Grass is greener" mentality that I see so often with a major over representation of racism. Just watch some of these "racism" videos, "You dont know what its like being Black until someone locks their car when your around", or "You dont know what its like being Black when someone looks at you in a store", its like come on. People lock their cars and look at me all the time. Theres a massive influx of people looking WAY too hard into everything to see something that may not even be there, but these people are generally also religious so their brains are fried. I guess it makes sense and its why I disregard it, and the religious.
I've been to the Continent. It's a beautiful place. Felt like home to me. I went to Ghana.

Meanwhile, tens of millions of Africans are migrating out of Africa. If there's so much opportunity there why are they all trying to leave?
@@digitallhm8160 That's what people keep missing or ignoring. I've been to Ghana several times, and building a home there to stay when I visit. However, I can't be there full time, it's just too many disadvantages compared to America. I have inlaws from and in Ghana, and many of them are trying to come to the States. Something is amiss with this move back to Africa stuff. The proponents of that don't tell the whole story.
@kweli05 Exactly. Even Akon, who spent a fair amount of his childhood made his wealth in America first, then went and invested in businesses in Africa. Hell, there's opportunities everywhere once you're rich, that's who Akon is really talking to. Plus, after reading the actual documents on 'Akon city' he's just a front man. The money comes from China and two other people are experts in charge of building the city. Powerful businessman don't have time to do music and do interviews on hip hop channels.
Noone wants actually do anything to help but we can talk about it. So respect to the ones that actually Do Work to help human beings. And not feed off them.
How do u move Back to a place you’re not from and have never been?
1) Years of Propoganda painting Africa as the least desirable place to visit in the world.
2) 64% of Americans have never left the country.
3) Most Americans do not have 2 weeks of paid vacation, if any to travel long distances.
4) Travel to Africa is made intentionally difficult, with multiple flight transfers and flights commonly exceeding 1k even out of major cities (NYC, etc..)
5) The Hope Factor of upward mobility by dangling successful back celebrities in front of you (Jay, Puff, Barack, Kamala) that are few and far in between
6) The feeling that America owes you for your investment and leaving would be giving up.
7) Debt- Most Black Americans live in insurmountable debt that stalls relocations.
8) Ridicule from friends and family that you are crazy or giving up on the struggle
9) Individualism- Black people will never get it together," but I'm straight"
10) Stockholm Syndrome- A person who has been Kidnapped Falling in love with their captors. This is Black America.

Vlad, from one eastern European to another...Fleeing and being abducted ain't "kinda like the same thing.."
I don’t think he means they are parallels, what he is trying to say is the old proverb
“What men have done, men can do. “ meaning there were tougher conditions at times where people migrated from countries they love because the degradation of the people, not knowing the culture of the country they are fleeing to. He’s saying present day, why do black people have such an affinity for a country they feel oppresses them so much. Take a shot moving somewhere else, like immigrants from past decades did, and as a plus you don’t have to worry about the color issue as much it’s more of a socio economic, religion discrimination which is much less psychologically taxing.

The comparison is between Russians leaving Russia and Black Americans leaving America. Both leaving poor situations.

Why should we move back to africa when our people shed blood, sweat and tears to build up america? Also africa is poor because they took our resources like gold, diamond, silver, copper, iron, natural gas, oil, uranium ect. So it takes a lot of nerve for them to say go back to africa knowing the destruction they caused on the continent.

As an African American male I personally don't feel more comfortable in settings where it's all or majority Black. I grew up in the Bay Area in a very diverse community so I'm used to seeing everybody. I lived in South Central L.A. for a few years in my 20s and it was beautiful to actually live in a predominately Black area for a change. But after a while I started to miss the diversity that I was raised in.

@@couproduc Maybe that has b been your experience but it has not been mine
Big BS. If you knew the opportunity out there for you to live, eat and breath healthy, the business opportunities for you to bring your western acumen to add value to the continent, you would think differently. I've only holidayed in Africa for the past 3 years and I have already set up a deal with belaire for 3 different western African countries for exclusivity worth about £25k per country and that is just the first shipment. Check out the opportunity in agriculture in East Africa. I could on and on. The idea that life in America is as good as it gets for people of African decent has to be based on a lack of knowledge
@@MrSleeplessnights I have visited Senegal, Gambia, Ghana, Uganda, and Kenya. In 2015, I spoke to a lawyer in Uganda who told me foreigners can not own land in Uganda. For all of the talk about people of African descent returning to Africa, there are no provisions for us in the laws. We are treated no differently than the white or Chinese man as it pertains to the laws. However, I must admit the African people were fantastic.
Most people cant even afford to move out of their own state what makes you think people can move to a countrt in Africa. Akon got rich in America then got connection in Senegal. You cant move to another country if you dont know how your going to live and make money in another country. People immigrate to America for better oppertunity.
@sleepyeyes i know folks who do that especially if you were born out of the states but totell black folks that they should all run off to Africa instead incouraging folks to get involved and fight for what already is theirs is disingenous. Especially knowing that these countries dont want there unless you have resources.
i am a black american. period.

@@mlungisijali9562 Afrika is the 2nd largest land mass on earth. How the hell could it be a country and not a continent...?
She simply had a slip of the tongue. If you were to ask her if Africa is a country or continent...she would have answered correctly.
Visiting and living in Africa are two different things. I have visited Africa (Ghana) several times, and did indeed felt relaxed and comfortable. However, I was on vacation and that's primarily why I felt that way. When I started going to build a home and thinking about doing business, that's when I realized I could not live there full time... too many disadvantages and inconveniences as compared to the States.
I'll take my .00000001% chance of getting killed by the police in the USA rather than endure power outages through the week, bad infrastructure, superstition, mob "justice", lag time in technology, etc. on the Continent of Africa. America's problems don't seem to deter Africans from coming and wanting to leave for the States.
Exactly
Same. Visited several times and always feel relaxed. Will continue to visit. But for too many reasons to list, I'm good here at home. People in the comments are legit getting upset that people are expressing happiness in their respective countries.
@@SimpleModernWoman Yeh, they sound ridiculous. Talk about hating. These people may not be doing as well as they think they should and just figure the grass has to be greener elsewhere.
@@kweli05 I don't understand what people want from us. I mean, if I decide to repatriate or "escape" this country for a more peaceful life, it'll likely, FOR ME, be a country closer to my home country, with a more familiar culture...like Mexico. At least I can speak a little Spanish and get back home in 2 hrs to visit family and friends.
Meanwhile, I'll continue to vacation throughout Africa because the cultures, beautiful people and food are popping.
Brazil has the largest population of Black people outside Africa. Are they pounding down on them to "go back" too?
That's because you're an American. It's that simple regardless of your colour.

Edit: And you spam the same message. SMH
Here's a question. Why should us, Black Americans, have to leave America? Why doesn't America do the right thing? Jewish, Natives, and Asians received money from the US in a form of reparations. Billionaires received bail outs in the millions while the middle and lower class have received not even a fraction of this. Yet these people are forced to struggle and revitalize the economy. The money that would be given to these classes would only go back to the government. That's the cycle of spending. Black Americans made and built this country which was stolen from the natives and latin people. Why does everyone else get to stay and receive compensation yet we are asked why we don't relocate? This is just another way of getting the same result. The most powerful nation is that way due to the people that live here. When will we all wake up and stop allowing these officials to control and dictate our lives?
Because your the only one crying about everything saying how horrible it is here... go try any other country on earth... u won’t... if u did you would come running right back saying wow nothing better than being American living in America ....

We are as much African as Cubans are Spanish ( Spain) you don't see them trying to go back to Spain.. We have Diffrent culture/and are Diffrent people no matter how much you think we are not, we Are. Race Does NOT mean same people sorry.. Just like a dude from France is NOT the same like a Dude from Poland though they have the same Race. Got love for Africa✊🏾& I wish them love and prosperity and the best. African history is amazing and Africans are very inelegant people through out the ages, Hence why because of our African blood mah people here are very intelligent and creative, but Mah heart is America. And if we learned just some history we would know that We have just as much stake in this land because it is (us, American blacks) WE who built it, fought for it, died for it. (with some help from whites). So to each his own.. much love to everybody.

But your ancestors came for Africa don't be ashamed white are ashamed of their European ancestors.
HOW COULD YOU MOVE BACK TO A CONTINENT WE NEVER BEEN🤔 we are foundational black Americans and our Ancestor lineage came from America. copper colored natives were already here then when you add chattel American Plantation slavery it’s common sense our distant ancestor came or our ancestor, ancestors came from the African continent but culturally we’re Americans enough said💯✊🏾

@@Cozmic-mike Have you travelled across the whole world?
We’re not from Africa.
Then where are we from your perspective?
Well, I just did my ancestry, found land allotments for the Freedman of the Creek Nation, but she also signed up for Choctaw by blood. In the research of the time line, my great grandmother people were Choctaw/ Chikasaw, who werw enslaved by the Creek Nation. They were classified as Colored Person's, because of the Colonial law. But as I continued to look on the record, no evidence of African descent. I asked the Europeans with the same last name; they say we were here when they got here. So I saw a different spelling in the name. Comes out that it's Nahuatl (Aztec) language. We have 320 acres in Oklahoma, but my cousins tried to get access to sale the land. They were very hostile towards the tribe. I tried and got my documents certified by a genealogy expert. So I have to join the tribe to get the land.
On my dad side, same issue. Our indian women married black Portuguese. My great grandmother was listed as Colored for color of race, but her ethnicity was American. Was very confusing, but the genealogy research people put it together. She's a Uchie Indian. We are mixed, but the people who you choose to connect to is your choice. Certain genes skip certain people, and paternity is very different from ancestry test. Then to study colonial record's, which show White & Black Europeans as indentured servants on ship record's. Spanish record's, showing Indigenous American's being shipped out of America, to Europe and Africa is a definite game changer. The only Africans brought against their will, were the surrounding islands in the ocean of the coast of Africa, wich they were took to Spain. Then the thousands took from the Carib, to Spain, will blow your mind. Most people were moved around after they abolished over seas shipping of slaves. Most of the Africa Company, brought their slaves with them & the Egyptian cotton, which they worked for 7 yrs, then got land & repeated the same thing as what they went through.
But going to Africa, was 1st invented by the Colonization Society, to ship free persons of color to Africa, so the newly freed people wouldn't act as free. Their were 1.5 million free person person's of color before the Emancipation Proclamation. The Black Europeans lost their home & want to help the white European take our home, will shake the lies that we have been told.
Nothing has separated, just submerged under water; we still connected under water still today, with imaginary borders.
But as long as no one will actually step outside the comfort zone to read the actual record's, they will continue to repeat the lies that we have been taught in public compulsory school.
I think majority of African Americans will have African ancestry, thats were darker skins humans with coily hair originate from. Obviously not everyone who’s brown or black ancestry wise may be from there but majority wise it’s the case
I'm American Indian and ill tell you now black ppl are not from these exactly like white ppl aren't
Everyone not from Africa, that out of Africa theory was made up & can be debunked. African studies was made up by Europeans, but what ever they say, I guess you supposed to believe it without question; massa don't like independent thinking!
Just travel and see it for yourself so you'll know wats really good. Nigeria / Ghana & South Africa is Lit AsF..........
I get their point of views. However, I do know that when I go to Ghana, I see more foreigners than African Americans coming in. These people have no connection to the continent, but they come, build, speak the language, and are even not afraid of living in villages now and then. If AAs don't want to go to Africa, that's cool. But why overthink just deciding to establish a business in a place where you may get the most opportunity? 'Come back home' doesn't mean abandon America. It just also means trying to connect. It means that if you want to take a break on a vacation, don't forget that you could be in a place where you're the majority. If you want to start a business, why no do it in a place with not much regulations? If you want a vacation home, why not try it in a place where you will get the most freedom to do so? But that's just my two cents. Appreciate their feedback and everyone else's.

We did a survey on this subject back in 1985.Even back then,a lot of Black Americans did not feel a personal connection with anywhere in Africa.Also,when you look at some African governments,you see that corruption due to money and power is no respector of race.Large parts of Nigeria are very developed and they still have problems with electricity and they still have problems with power service due more to government corruption, and not technology. Black Americans have put a lot of blood in the U.S.and many feel like we're determined to get our money and blood price back from the U.S.

I like this sister being interviewed. I think we should not limit to Africa. Blacks have found good places in Asia.
Don't limit yourself to color. The west indians, afro Hispanic and Africans don't do it when they come to America. They look out for their own community and exclude black Americas. Of course, not unless they dealing with white racism that they can't get themselves out of.
“Black Americans move back to Africa” key words “back” like we literally been there.
