It really look like a nigérian one sorry. But my topic was juste yo point out africain is not just one state. There's no african accent. Sorry for my english is not my first language
laqay747 dont be disrespectful if you live in France in Europe i Will say you have an european accent.... I live in France even in we have différent accent. Africa is always disrespect, people never even try To be a little bit smart about when they talk. We have more than 50 state on just one state you can have more than 100 langage (dialecte) with différent accent.
I worked with a young man from Nigeria and he had similar feelings. He thought that many African Americans in this country had no idea of the hardships of people still living in Africa. I spent many hours talking with him about his experiences in Nigeria as a very young man forced to be a boy soldier during Nigera's civil wars. Yet, he came to this country and became a very successful college educated professional. His basic belief was stop complaining and make a life for yourself. Bless you, Mike I.
@Sharon ! Have you ever marched or protested? Have you ever been abused by whites? Were you ever lynched? Did you ever have to personally endure burnings or beatdowns? Were you ever a slave? Did you ever experience the Civil Rights Movement? That Nigerian man Douglas Reeves wrote about in his comment actually had to endure physical hardship, civil war and being forced into combat situations at a very young age. When the Nigerian man said that black Americans had no idea of the hardships of people still living in Africa, that's what he was talking about: people alive TODAY who actually had to personally go through hell.
That same African didn’t stay in his country and came here to leech off the things African Americans had t fight to get. He’s an immigrant and fails to understand just exactly what black Americans have gone through this nation
GodLoveFreedom In a lot of places that is true but a lot of factors add to that, including colonialism and corruption. Not all Africans see themselves as being generally superior. Besides, that is like asking Anglo-Saxons, French people, Irish people, Asians, etc. why they don't return to their countries.
Not entirely true, the first white settlers came to America to avoid religious persecution and were in many ways the misfits of Britain. Where others came for financial gain. Its partially why religion and some old fashioned views are so deeply rooted in certain parts of America, the settlers were religious fanatics.
I bet it took Aries three months to write that joke. Here's one I just wrote....right now. What does Aries' career and a Twinkie have in common? They both have a shelf life of about a year. \;-j
Trinity Cummings The thing that most ignorant folks in America don't know about Africa, is that Africans come in all shades. Light, medium, brown, dark, etc. It's just that American media has done a great job at incorporating stereotypes into people's heads. In this day of technology, there is no excuse for ignorance. I highly advise some of you morons to do your research before spewing out nonsense.
i can tell you from experience in university where i was friends with a lot of Africans from Senegal, Uganda, ghana and other african countries that none of them (approx 10 students) were friends with Black Americans. they literally had nothing in common. They liked different sports, they were more conservative, and they hated the fact that black american culture especially the part about glorifying violence, sexual violence, thug culture, baby mama culture and all that. To them its a gift to be in the US and they feel that black americans (for the most part) have not taken advantage of that gift whereas many other cultures have. Thats why you tend to see second generation african immigrants in the US do a lot better than African Americans who's family have been in america for hundreds i=of years
Well there is another side to that coin. All of those countries you names have a lot of resources even more than any European country outside of Russia. Yet they are still poor even compared to black Americans. %95 of all diamonds, %50 of all gold, %90 all chromium, largest reserves of cobalt, uranium, platinum in the world. And %65 of all arable land in the world. The western wealth is an illusion. The fact that africans are running from that is tragic.
Dalitso Banda I find it amazingly idiotic and unfortunately I've met a few Afrikans who look at me with distain like TF is wrong with you dudes? And a friend of mine is dating one currently and her afrika father doesn't like him and he is darker than the Father ...why is this?
mandalor-83 J well in a nut shell we share the same complexion but we are not the same people. Egyptians(Hametic) enslaved Israelites (Shemetic)both black people and they resemble each other..
#mandalor83J You are missing the point, in that it isn't about SKIN COLOR, instead, it is about and different way of life....Hell, there are many Africans who don't like each other because of tribal/ethnic differences...Yoruba's don't like Ibo's in Nigeria, and Hutu's and Tutsi's have killed each other by the hundreds of thousands. I remember reading back in the 1970's-80's about South African Bantus and Zulus having problems. I think that many American Blacks think that ALL BLACKS are the same because we are treated the same by being discriminated against in general.....Africans are more independent minded because they are the MAJORITY in their countries, while Black American's are a MINORITY in America and are more close knit. By the way, I have met Jamaicans who look down on American Blacks primarily because They have a country even though it is impoverished as hell, but like my mama used to say "IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO OWN A OLD HOME THEN IT IS TO PAY WHITE FOLKS RENT FOR SOMETHING YOU DON'T OWN, AND BRAG ABOUT HOW MUCH RENT YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY THE WHITE OWNERS... Black Americans are unstable land owners in America, while POOR AFRICANS do own their land and country even though they are still being exploited along with corruption......Food 4 Thought
Most of the replies to ur comment are from legit racists/white supremacists. They’re so easy to recognize. I guess they think ppl outside of their deranged circle take them seriously.
360 Crazy There's always that one black guy that blames the white man for his life's shortcomings and piss poor choices. Congratulations, it seems to be you.
Someone below made a comment which is the exact truth. Black Americans make everything about color while we Africans make everything about culture. Yes we are the same color, but culturally no we are clearly not the same. I'm African and I don't have much of an issue with Black Americans.. I couldn't be bothered. Some of them are cool, and some of them are serious about the generalizations/stereotypes in this video lol but I, just like most Africans really don't care. We get the last laugh lol
***** Because while most Black Americans don't want anything to do with Africans and think we are all poor, disease ridden, ugly "African booty scratchers" and laughing at us, *plot twist* we are laughing at them because they are so lost & confused. Lol, and my family are from Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Nigeria.. enough said. And we don't "look down" on y'all.. the non-ignorant ones anyway. But like I said, we really are unbothered, we just mind our own business. I have nothing against Black Americans.
***** Just explained this below. And I know SO many Africans & other immigrants who come abroad and within a year, they are crying they wanna go back home. They miss the freedom, the culture, etc. Yall really think you're living the life and are greater than everybody else.. news flash.. you're not! Many immigrants only come abroad to work, save up some money, go back home, start a business with that money and live the life! Hardly any immigrants come here with the intention of staying here, unless they are refugees or something. You guys have never been to Africa to see how they live, so your opinion is invalid. Immigrants come from another country and see how you guys are living and this is what it is. Take it or leave it. Nobody is pointing fingers, like I said, we don't care! &Take care of home? Help clean up the black community and stop making yourselves the laughing stocks all the time.
***** Oh! I see where the bitterness is coming from... I see your comment about an African man using you for papers. Lol poor thing. And for the record, I'm Canadian. Where majority of the black people are immigrants and we don't have to deal with bitter ass black americans looking down on Africans lol. And you gotta be kidding? Africans go to America and you black people look down on them and don't even wanna associate with them, and even tease/make fun of them! Don't even try that BS!
***** Wow, I find it so cute you guys are tryna flip the script now. Real adorable. We Africans have self-pride. Pride in our heritage, culture, languages, food, music, etc. And we don't care if yall like it or not, because we are not even paying mind. We are living our lives while you guys are criticizing us, the whole world is watching you guys and are the worldwide laughing stocks, not us. Look at the foolishness like World Star Hip Hop, you guys love to blame mainstream media for always portraying you in a negative light, a black man owns WSHH and instead of fighting the stereotypes, its perpetuating them x100! And furthermore you guys support it and give it more popularity! You guys are on there laughing, entertained, other people are on there laughing and entertained as well, except they're not laughing with you, they are laughing AT you. Most of you guys don't know how to behave, all of the silly black stereotypes are from you guys yet affects black people in Canada, and even the UK. This is ridiculous! I'm not going into more details. You and I both know how most Black Americans are, and so do other people. Don't lie to yourself hun. It's one thing for you guys to be the way you are, but it's another to try and flip it back at us smh. You guys would tease African kids so bad they weren't proud to be African anymore, or claim they were something else like Jamaican. Anyways, I'm done. You guys can continue to dwell in ignorance. At the end of the day regardless of the teasing I was and always will be proud to be African. End of discussion.
I used to feel the same until I successfully dated two African women in the nineties (the BEST relationships I had). I had to understand that their culture and and practices are completely different from ours. Also there are 54 countries in Africa that are completely different. I dated one from Ghana and one from Sierre Leone. It's all a misunderstanding. We have to talk to one another
best part is the countries are bulltshit, we Europeans made the borders before fully exploring the land. there are thousends of small tribes that differ in culture.
You'd be saying the same thing about this guy if he ever makes it big. All this bs like what you type here is nothing more than jealousy that a brother made it .
Being an African (Ethiopian) and raised in America, I can heavily relate to both Africans and African Americans. So, reading the comments is very triggering to me, I feel like I'm being disrespected by both sides😂😂😂
CAUSE PPL STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IN BOTH SIDE ARE BADD PLL AN GOOD PPPL, POORS AND RICHES, FATHERS WHO ABANDON KIDS, ETC.. COLOR ITS NOTHING NOR EVEN THE PLACE.
I don't hate anyone it's sad that it has to be this way. People of color from Africa do not care for people.of color from American. That is why I choose not to date people of color from Africa.
Nathan Mulugeta brother that's the feeling of being brown in America. Trust its difficult being african American bcus ur raised that both countries do not want u so we grow up confused not sure where we can go to call home.
Hahaha, I love my black people. Half of my life in Africa and half in the U.S. this It is accurate to say, African do not know that much about black Americans and black Americans do not know that much about African so must of them rely on stereo type to judge each other. It's all good though. We all know our roots no doubt on that part.
Africans sold the American Blacks (Halfricans) to the White-Man (Brown Arabs) so that's gotta be a little *awkward!* Little did the American Blacks know at the time that being sold into slavery to what would eventually become the USA was the best thing that could have happened to them, getting the Hell out of Africa. A dog wouldn't live there.
Andale Telewa u might not but, 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999978% of u do. Have u seen those african men making fun of people on instagram?
Mariivoire Us "african americans" arnt african really. The name african was a white mans name. and caanan is the true name of the people. "african americans" are not african according to the bible. They are top different people. Christ the isrealite is black and so was everyone else. God say the egyptians, wich are africans are strangers. and so is esau (the white man) they were once our brethren but not since they started having slaves. You realize egyptians, wich are african origin had black slaves. They wouldnt sell their own people out like that and work them to death. So they had the isrealites wich are also "black"...If u dont believe me read the bible(your history book)
Andale Telewa May God Guide you? That Hate is Why things are the way they are now! I'm AA and trust me You are no representive of Any Good God Fearing African. Put that Ego where it should go.
I have met and have a lot of different African friends and they have nothing in common with African Americans... they speak with much more respect, barely swear, better educated and lovely people...
I'm Russian and I met several African people who study here. They are all pretty nice people, they speak proper English with a slight British accent and can hold a conversation on various topics, including politics etc. However, I haven't met many Black Americans, so I can't say anything about them.
alexnickolaev Eh, ‘‘tis fine it’s comedy. I don’t rightly care if he is telling the truth about Black Americans or Black African’s it’s still able to impart comedic effect.
King Slomolon, why is that most African rulers sell their countries wealth (natural resources) from under their peoples feet to gain profit and material wealth.
This is a general statement. I am from Ethiopia and I remember my uncle made me watch "roots" when I first came to US so I can understand what African Americans went through. My older cousin told me it is because of African Americans we have it easy now. I also remember African American students sticking up for me over some racist bs in high school. African Americans are the most accepting and cool people people I know. We Africans have the responsibility of sharing anything that is good with people that are oppressed and have the same heritage. I agree there are a lot of ignorant Africans out there but they don't represent all of us.
Ummm... u are kissing ass right now, sis. I’m African too, and the first time I moved here, African Americans bullied me from middle school to the end of high school, calling me an African booty scratcher and clicking at me. Black people are the only ones who ever treated me like shit, and now being African is cool, and they wanna wear dashikis and shit. Fuck outta here
@miss sweden clicking is some white people stuff. Nobody was doing that. Now the booty scratcher part YES. I was called an African American booty scratcher. I was born and live here with a slave master last name lol. If childhood jokes makes you, anti Black American I don't know if you are ok in the mind.
@@onhn2655 I've had Black Americans use clicking noises and mock me for being African from middle to high school. As an adult you dont deal with that, most Black Americans are coo. As an East African I generally dont see us hating or disrespecting Black Americans. Some might generalize an label stereotypes but I generally dont see us being rude or hateful. I cant speak for West Africans
@@lulundabirenge2311 you can always go back to your majority black country. The truth is still the truth the ADOS/FBA black paved the way for you to come across the atlantic ocean.
Me and all of my cousins or African friends got bullied growing up for being African. Not saying evryone did it but most So don't forget your sly comments you dished out to us in school.
MrShirye dumbest explanation ever. you people raise your kids to be ignorant and disrespectful, then get mad when what goes around comes back. let the divide stay!
***** you're full of shit, and I couldn't care less if you enjoyed being a white man's punching bag. This does not negate anything I said. IF YOU CAN DISH IT OUT YOU CAN TAKE IT. What goes around comes around. At the rate that AAs complain about other people hating you, you should have the drive to understand why. People don't just hate you for the hell of it, but hate you because of how you treat them (immigrants especially). You often initiate strife and bullying and then tell people to get over it, when you can't even get over slavery or other negative racial experiences which didn't even happen to you. You are not as mature and evolved as you like to think you are. Bottom line is you teach people what to think of you, with your own behavior, and if you teach Africans at an early age that you're skin-tone obsessed, with no values, then this is what they will take with them into adulthood. Is it common to abandon the things that you have seen and been taught in youth and/or at an early age??? NO. THIS is how people's perceptions get built! Wake up, idiot!
@MrShirye No this is a lame excuse. You wouldnt excuse racism from white children so don't try and dismiss the ignorance from Black American children when it comes to how many of them diss Africa.
I don't think Africans hate black Americans. My wife is Nigerian (Yoruba), and I'll be honest, her dad gave me the side eye at first, but after he saw that I wasn't a bum and that I could take care of his daughter, we were like two peas in a pod. Sure, there's a lack of understanding on both sides, but it's nothing a little cultural education can't fix.
Nope.sorry I.don't know why most Americans confuse The Nigerian culture as an African whole culture,not every African speaks like that,that's pigeon English and it is mostly found of the Nigerians and not everyone in Africa is dark skinned good example,all north African countries are full of brown people,ignorance isn't an excuse at all
+Huguitt pffft Egypt is more powerful then Nigeria , also south africa and Ghana have good economy , also Horn of africa is not that bad specially Ethiopia and Uganda with the dems they building their ecomonic will grow , also morocco and Algeria have decent Oil business , Libya had good economy before Gaddafi murder , Nigeria is very young economy compare to all that . I love Nigeria and africa I am nubian
JUST- Ian is it true that your country is being sold to zionists ? , I read somewhere that they trying to convert people their to Judaism so they can cut off the water resources from egypt , also do you know that the EU wanted to give the jews , jewish homeland state in Uganda when it was under the conoly power cuz ottomans refused to give Palestine to them , but the zionists refused and said they wanted palestine so the british invaded it from the ottomans then made the european zionists imigrate their in large number and after that the palestinans protested cuz they thought after the ottomans fell they can have their own independed state but then british wanted to give most the land to the zionists so the arab/zionists war broke out and USA supported zionists , the arabs lost their land and then fought again to take it back etc . do you know this story or you don't even know that Israel might have been in your country and they would have propabitly done to you what they done to the Palestinians , so yeah be grateful that god didn't curse you with zionists in your land stealing it and calling you the native terrorist , will if I remember the white colonization called nelson mendila terrorist for wanting end of apratial and independce
it's kinda true though. I'm African American and live in Lesotho (southern Africa). they do act like white americans are better than us. not all, but many.
Bryan Asare I can relate to what you are saying. After traveling to many countries all over the world I have concluded that African Americans are the most ignorant people on the planet.
I’m white American and have had loud mouth black people start problems all around me when I’m in a bigger city. Never had an African start shit. Africans are smart and come to America to better themselves and families with school. Black Americans treat school like it’s a cruel joke.
Mariivoire They didn't steal gunpowder from the Chinese so much as adopted and adapted it. If there's new and better technology out there, why not use it?
I'm African-American, so my perspective is that there's ignorance on both sides. From my personal experience, Africans expect black americans to have a bit more knowledge on Africa than what they see, first hand. African-Americans have been shown a very warped view of Africa that has been perpetuated since infancy. And, this is perpetuated ever year on Black History Month when all we see is a history of slavery and battles against discrimination and racist policies that were abolished a short 50-60 years ago (in terms of world history, this new). Any mention of African heritage is held in some form of shame because of what we "know" about Africa. Add this with the stereotype that Africans hate African Americans on sight, doesn't help matters. So, conversations need to had in order to understand one another. We don't need to suddenly love each other; we just have to have some understanding and move on with our lives.
Little Melody most of us don't hate you especially for being african too. but the stereotypes types on tv has a lot of truth to them. we noticed. that like
Not all black people are from Africa!! a lot are actually Indian or Dominican and was in this country before white people, there are different shades because in all reality we are all one race which is the human race. They say black people....well you have Dominican, African, Jamaican you have all different types. Anybody that thinks all black people are from Africa is retarded to me.
+Kala-ada Idakari Opusunju nope some not all!!!there is no proof that every single black person came from africa but there is proof that brown skin people was in this country before white people
The only difference is that black Americans and Jamaicans consider themselves as black/brown.Black/brown skin Dominicans do not consider themsleves as blacks.Dark/brown skin Dominocans believe in some big lie that they're hispanics.
I will say that in the past 20 years, Black Americans are more accepting of African Culture. They embrace it more. But during the 80s and 90s, not as much. Black Americans went out of their way for people not to call them African as if it was a bad thing. Made fun of the accents. Called them African booty scratcher. Thought we all lived in huts. Rode elephants. That we were poor and starving. Thought they were superior because they were American. NOT ALL!!! I DON'T WANT TO GENERALIZE! But many of the ones that my family and I and friends encountered when we immigrated here. But you can blame that ignorance on media's portrayal of Africa & just a lack of resources. Now, thanks to the internet, books, CZcams, many different outlets for people to learn, people are able to see a different side of Africa that wasn't in the forefront before. They see that Africa is a very rich continent with so many different layers to it. So now, African Africans are embracing it. They want to lean more about their ancestry. Also, with the uprising of more and more Africans relocating to the US, they have more friends that are African. People are being exposed to different cultures and are accepting it more. People are marrying into it more. There's much more intermingling unlike before. The views in the video was in the past, but definitely not in the present. Being in my 30s, I've experienced both sides. I will say that my parent's generation definitely experienced the of the negative side of it. I saw their struggle. Brillant college educated people not getting jobs because of their accent Me? Not so much. I was raised here. If not for my name, people wouldn't know that I'm African because I have an American accent. But I do remember in my formative years, kids ridiculed Africa or African kids with accents. They didn't know any better or they heard it from their parents. Or when they met me, I would get the "You don't look African" comment like it was a compliment. Um...what does that mean? End rant! I thought the video was hilarious! Oh, and about the white man comment, based on my parents generations and experience, white people gave Africans more opportunities or would view Africans as more hardworking. So that could be why.
danyelah Tabaat Because you do. The media has brainwashed everyone against blacks regardless of what country it is in. Not only do they hate American blacks but they hate Africans too. Thats why it pisses us off when Africans look down at us. When they think they are above us. When they use our American benefits our ancestors died for because Africans sold us. It isn't right for Africans to hate us. We have done nothing to them or for that matter anyone else in the world. But they all hate us. We are a daily reminder of their sins. Africa you are the worse one because our ancestors came from there. When the black population here has always looked up to Africa and wanted to go back. Now I've met enough arrogant Africans I won't step foot on the continent. Why should we return to the people that made it possible for us to be enslaved?
Which African tribe sold your ancestors? Please answer this question... I see Black folks regurgitate this garbage about "Africans selling blacks into slavery" without actually identifying which group of Africans did so.. You people need to get off the internet and read a book, you're being misled badly by selfish people in your own community. This is why, sadly, people don't take Black Americans serious... It's not that every nation has been brainwashed to hate you.... YOU've been brainswashed to hate yourselves! You have such a low self esteem about yourselves that anyone showing dignity and integrity in relations to their own culture invokes jealousy... And the sad thing is there are African Americans who have showcases the best that Black America has to offer, making amazing contributions to the Arts, Sciences, Politics etc...... But here's the irony I've come to realize; most Black folks hate on these individuals too. So look in the mirror and look at your communities, stop blaming others and take accountability for what's wrong in your neighborhoods. Why don't you guys direct this much negativity to drug dealers and rappers?
hes joking but its so true...i used to do some work here with somalians and kenyans back in the day...and i was always listening to hip hop...THEY COULDNT FUCKIN STAND IT!and they couldnt fuckin stand american blacks (and not like they were just annoyed with them...there was some visceral hardcore hatred going on...some KKK type shit,i kid you not)
No thats real shit. africans and those of african decent are as prone to disliking each other as the various white cultures. Africans look down on blacks, Haitians and Jamaicans. Haitians and Jamaicans dont like each other. Haitians and Jamaicans tend to dislike american blacks. At the end of the day it isnt any different than the Irish not liking the english or Italians and vice versa.
I did notice this once, we have a regular from Cameroon who shops at my store and he’ll completely ignore my manager (African American) to go ask me question. My manager told me the one and only time he talked to him was when the customer asked where I was when I was on break so I could ring up his items
Literally every comment under this video from Africans tells us how we shouldnt generalize them then they go on to do the same thing to us. Wake the hell up, we arent all the same just like you arent all the same. Some of these comments are incredibly ignorant and just go to show that maybe these jokes are coming from a place of truth. If you can generalize all black Americans to the point where you say we all get aggressive instead of being polite, we are from crime infested neighborhoods, we lack education, and WE make everything about color not the racist people who throw our color in our faces, then you are in desperate need of an education about blacks in America. Before criticizing us how about taking 15 minutes to read up on our history, or simply have a conversation with one of us so you can see how truly wrong you really are.
julie hackathorn so y'all should give up? Damn where did the white people go that my ancestors fought for 400+ years. I looked up too you white people we made you the war ready men, and women you once were. But no your men want too be women, and your women delude themselves too think they are men. Have fun y'all! I dont know about you all, but all I know is I'm dying a free man. Just like my ancestors did before the treaties.
Also Africans Americans are scared of bugs, and commitment. Commitment too just about anything, (finances, community, family, relationships) lol have fun Africans. Just sitting here waiting....
An Injun With a Gun and my fury consumes me when I see liberal rags shitting on us, and my heart breaks for every kid shooting up with God knows what out of being such lost souls.
My Step dad was in the army in the 70's and he was stationed all over europe and mostly germany. He told me a story about how him and some of the guys from his barracks were just enjoying a night on the town when he saw some africans walking in their directions. He said "hay my brothas, how you doin" and they replied "we are not your brothas, we are free men." so he told me that they didn't like blacks because we are descendants of slaves. i also think its because we forget our roots sometimes.
I'm an African living in the US. it's obviously wrong of them to have said that. However, I can't help but think that we Africans and Black Americans have very little in common, other than our skin tone. Value system, moral compass, culture and many other things are extremely different, I may find myself having more in common (theoretically)with a conservative white even though he/she might be racist against me, than I have with an "African" American. And I can't help but think that the hundred years of oppression must have had some role in the development of the behaviors and cultural norms which I don't understand/appreciate.
We're ALL victims of the same brainwashing and mental conditioning white "people" has given to ALL black on Earth .... The truth is a much stranger story.... Most Black Americans are not from Africa at all, but are indigenous to the Americas. ... 🤔
@@munzirshaikhoun5113 you mean the value system and cultural norms that has completely failed africans in africa? I have more respect for AAs fight and accomplishments over the last four hundred years. The african cultural norms would not have served them well in the hell that they were sold into. They have survived and achieved in the last four hundred years more than africans have done in their own land. So much so that the society that AAs shed blood sweat and tears to open up is now high on the list of africans wanting to leave africa and go to. Nah much respect to AAs and what they have done in the west while africa was sleeping.
There is some truth to this and it also applies to black people in the Caribbean also. Here's why that is, black people who grew up in other countries had to struggle to make it, black people in America had to struggle to make it, but the difference is the opportunities black people in America had lets say from the 70's up to now most blacks around the world do not have so there is a resentment that African American people are wasting something most people desperately want. African Americans are considered to be very lazy and entitled, always blaming other people for everything that's wrong in their life and never willing to work hard for what they want. Meanwhile black people in other countries struggle wishing they had the same opportunities to get a quality, free education or to have the opportunity to work hard to climb that ladder.
@KN Byam and how did those opportunities from the 70s on came to be? Because of the blood sweat and tears of black americans. A struggle that has left scars on the black americans but now africans and others just see the opportunities and not the struggle and so easily point their fingers at black americans. Not only are they unaware of AAs struggle to open up the society for all to enjoy but they seem unable to grasp how they as a people have failed their homelands since most live in poverty and are illiterate in their own countries where they have given up power to everybody else. As a black immigrant to america myself(caribbean) the AA story is much much more inspiring to me.
Let me tell you why Africans, especially the older generation, do not like to associate themselves with African Americans. There’s no denying that there are a lot of friendly, respectful, and well-educated African Americans. However, even if it pains me to say this, from my experience living in America as a young African man, I have never met as many people from a certain group that possess one or multiple characteristics of being rude, loud, disrespectful, violent, lacking ambition to succeed in life through education as African Americans PERIOD! Not Whites, not Asians, not Middle Easterns, not Latinos! I know African Americans have faced many adversities throughout history, and institutional racism still exists to this day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make something of yourself with what you have available. Africans think they’re better because they come to this country with no dime to their name yet they put their kids through college working a minimum wage job and give them a better future. If you’re brought up in an African household, going to college is an obligation unless you excel in something else that pays the bills. Also, no African kid would get away with any of those characteristics I mentioned above without getting a beating or being completely casted out. It seems as though those principles are not instilled in the minds of black Americans as much as they are in other groups of people. You’re not gonna see many cases of teen pregnancy in young African girls, cause that brings a great shame to the family. Furthermore, black Americans have an inferiority complex due to slavery, which I think holds them back from facilitating a better future for themselves and their kids. The only people who can change people’s negative perspective of black Americans are black Americans. This generation lacks black leaders like Martin Luther King that strive in bringing change and prosperity to black Americans. Even the educated black Americans don’t associate with blacks from the ghetto when they should be the ones to mentor young black kids, so they go on to achieve big things. Whether a person is African or African American we’re always gonna be seen us black and receive the same treatment, yet Africans immigrate here and educate themselves and excel in life while many African Americans live their life on welfare. The truth is no government is gonna change these situations for you, and you are the only one who can! I really encourage educated black men and women to see this for what it is and bring change to your communities.
I don't know why but when it comes to new immigrants and first/second/third generation born people or the same country or origin there is a divide. Whether it black, asian, hispanic or even white. Some rift between the differences in culture and the question of identity causes this in a country where you will feel the constant exposure of Americanization. Immigrants have issues assimilating and finding a community. They struggle with adjustment to a new social norms while maintaining their culture. People who lived in the United States for long have long assimilated and struggle with their identity. They may have loss or only have pieces of their identity maintained be it due to circumstances or choice. Some (and not all) immigrants dismiss american born communities of similar ethic origin as not them. At the same time, the American borns are not sympathetic to culture shock (because they probably never experienced it) and can sometimes take advantage of immigrants.
wow i'm french of african background and i have to say that i'm shocked to read comments like that. i didn't know african american thought this way about africans. i know that not everyone thinks this way but i guess there are ignorant people everywhere..
Milena I'm purely African from Kenya, and blacks from America are called Black Americans not African Americans. Most of them dont know shit about the African Continent and its history.
Milena, ignorance knows no race or color line. You find it in every group. Although he's doing a comedy routine, but, his punchline says a lot. Skin color comparison seems to be his focus. Comparisons, as if being Brown is better than "midnight" as he puts it.. His own words prove he's the one who thinks that he's better.. Something taught in America.
Weirdly, this revealed your ignorance. There are almost know East Africans which he already said he was from (Kenya) moving to Europe. Again, Africa is 54 countries. There are about only four countries of people immigrating to Europe as in fleeing war and most of them are North Africans.
Not really. Many people here dislike the fact that many black Americans use the n-word like it's no big deal. When a white person uses it - he is ignorant and being cruel on purpose, when blacks use it; it's like they miss the horrible past. What's next? They're going to start calling their homes "plantations"? I don't get it and I would never disrespect us like that.
Can you explain this to me. I was working on an account in North Hollywood and encountered several people from Nigeria. When I concluded that they were Nigerian, I extended my friendship to make their transition here a little easier. Instead of responding like a normal individual, they were condescending and disrespectful. But when they interacted with these Europeans, they were acting cordial and respectful. And, I'm well read and educated, so they had no excuse.
Comedy alright but çlearly some anger and too much ignorance here, first Africans don't know African-Americans and vice versa, the misunderstanding is mutual but being that African-Americans were beaten into hating their origin and skin it is worse in America (look how many here say they are not from Africa even though their skin alone tells it all, you don't need a history book). Second many Africans are light skinned! Africans are more genetically diverse than ANY continent/people on earth including afro-Americans that is scientific fact. Look at Ethiopians for example. Or Mandela wouldnt be the darkest dude in Harlem neither would supermodel Iman. Anyways we are all one people that need to learn about one another and learn what slavery and colonialism didnt want us to do - live in harmony and togetherness.
+bokar7 my point is that you VISITED 21 countries in Africa, there is a difference between visiting and LIVING !!! just because you have been visiting does not mean that you understand the African pride, nor the different cultures and beliefs
monbudimu I was born here and live here now, and have LIVED in North, East and most especially West Africa with my upbringing in the US. Again, what the heck is your point??
Who doesn't like who?? African Americans call us from and in Africa "African booty scratchers" us in Africa don't have a degrading name like that for Black/Afro Americans. So who doesn't like who???
Its a stupid name but IVE even been called African booty scratcher never been to Africa(yet). Its a mean name black kids call eachother especially dark skinned kids get called it (like myself) African or not. Its a form of bullying but no its not nice
Not funny, complete racism. I'm always disgusted when I see a black person talk down to a black person that has even darker skin. I have seen this a lot and still don't understand it.
Ashley Goodrich, although he's doing a comedy routine. But, his punchline says a lot. Skin color comparison, as if being Brown is better than midnight as he puts it.. His own words prove he's the one who thinks that he's better.
Hey Caleb Dipshit Leyva, that's his whole routine. That's how white America created division among black people. Why continue it? Listen to the intonation with which he said it...
Yea he is making stuff up. It's the social engineers doing divide and conquer. They also get black comdians saying things like no Africans tried to stop other Africans from being enslaved and sent to America. Not true lots of Africans fought against it.
You look like me and I look like you. Forget how you got here because we all know it wasn't your fault my black American siblings. The most important thing is that we're from the same motherland AFRICA. Tell me about America and I'll tell you about Africa. Together we can workout a better future for all of us! Africa is a spirit and it lives in you. We are not better than you cos I am you. !
i lived in Nogeria and i can say that imitation accent did not sound Nigerian. but i say lighten up. he is a comedian, not a politician. He poked fun at himself too. Relax for goodness sake.
Haha that african accent "Yhhhhhh the white man *kiss" lmao 😂😂😂😂
It's not an africain accent it's just an nigérian accent
It really look like a nigérian one sorry. But my topic was juste yo point out africain is not just one state. There's no african accent.
Sorry for my english is not my first language
stella verne Pretty sure nigeria is in Africa dumbass
laqay747 dont be disrespectful if you live in France in Europe i Will say you have an european accent....
I live in France even in we have différent accent.
Africa is always disrespect, people never even try To be a little bit smart about when they talk. We have more than 50 state on just one state you can have more than 100 langage (dialecte) with différent accent.
stella verne You still cannot say that it isnt an Afrcan accent
I worked with a young man from Nigeria and he had similar feelings. He thought that many African Americans in this country had no idea of the hardships of people still living in Africa. I spent many hours talking with him about his experiences in Nigeria as a very young man forced to be a boy soldier during Nigera's civil wars. Yet, he came to this country and became a very successful college educated professional. His basic belief was stop complaining and make a life for yourself. Bless you, Mike I.
@Sharon ! Have you ever marched or protested? Have you ever been abused by whites? Were you ever lynched? Did you ever have to personally endure burnings or beatdowns? Were you ever a slave? Did you ever experience the Civil Rights Movement? That Nigerian man Douglas Reeves wrote about in his comment actually had to endure physical hardship, civil war and being forced into combat situations at a very young age. When the Nigerian man said that black Americans had no idea of the hardships of people still living in Africa, that's what he was talking about: people alive TODAY who actually had to personally go through hell.
@Justin Likewise doesn’t matter it happened and continues to happen.
That same African didn’t stay in his country and came here to leech off the things African Americans had t fight to get. He’s an immigrant and fails to understand just exactly what black Americans have gone through this nation
I know for a fact why but I don’t wanna hurt anyone’s delicate feelings.
You never seen the war in the streets of America that kids are in. In fact some inner cities have higher murder rates than warzones
"Yaaaaaay de white man". LOLOLOLOLOLLOLL.

+GodLoveFreedom Africa is very rich
GodLoveFreedom In a lot of places that is true but a lot of factors add to that, including colonialism and corruption. Not all Africans see themselves as being generally superior. Besides, that is like asking Anglo-Saxons, French people, Irish people, Asians, etc. why they don't return to their countries.
+GodLoveFreedom same for some Mexicans
Not entirely true, the first white settlers came to America to avoid religious persecution and were in many ways the misfits of Britain. Where others came for financial gain. Its partially why religion and some old fashioned views are so deeply rooted in certain parts of America, the settlers were religious fanatics.
I'm brown you midnight💀😂😂😂 thats right Aries
I bet it took Aries three months to write that joke. Here's one I just wrote....right now. What does Aries' career and a Twinkie have in common?
They both have a shelf life of about a year. \;-j
Trinity Cummings The thing that most ignorant folks in America don't know about Africa, is that Africans come in all shades. Light, medium, brown, dark, etc.
It's just that American media has done a great job at incorporating stereotypes into people's heads.
In this day of technology, there is no excuse for ignorance. I highly advise some of you morons to do your research before spewing out nonsense.
How is it right tho you obviously don't know anything about Africa
Aries is the one that said it lol

In Youruba, “Mo n’a ya, mo n’a ya” actually translates as “I got a wife, I got a wife”. I wonder if he knew this or was just a coincidence.

Of course he knew.
Chad move
i can tell you from experience in university where i was friends with a lot of Africans from Senegal, Uganda, ghana and other african countries that none of them (approx 10 students) were friends with Black Americans. they literally had nothing in common. They liked different sports, they were more conservative, and they hated the fact that black american culture especially the part about glorifying violence, sexual violence, thug culture, baby mama culture and all that. To them its a gift to be in the US and they feel that black americans (for the most part) have not taken advantage of that gift whereas many other cultures have. Thats why you tend to see second generation african immigrants in the US do a lot better than African Americans who's family have been in america for hundreds i=of years
You've said it all bro👌
i couldn't have said this better.
Yeah
Well there is another side to that coin. All of those countries you names have a lot of resources even more than any European country outside of Russia. Yet they are still poor even compared to black Americans. %95 of all diamonds, %50 of all gold, %90 all chromium, largest reserves of cobalt, uranium, platinum in the world. And %65 of all arable land in the world. The western wealth is an illusion. The fact that africans are running from that is tragic.
They have taken advantage of it though. Which is why they are the way they are now. All that BLM bs.
as an African I found that AMAZINGLY FUNNY
Dalitso Banda I find it amazingly idiotic and unfortunately I've met a few Afrikans who look at me with distain like TF is wrong with you dudes? And a friend of mine is dating one currently and her afrika father doesn't like him and he is darker than the Father ...why is this?
This is factual from my experience. "Black" only exists as a concept in the US
mandalor-83 J well in a nut shell we share the same complexion but we are not the same people. Egyptians(Hametic) enslaved Israelites (Shemetic)both black people and they resemble each other..
WecanWinJesse There is literally %0 of people known as Shemetic in human biology
#mandalor83J You are missing the point, in that it isn't about SKIN COLOR, instead, it is about and different way of life....Hell, there are many Africans who don't like each other because of tribal/ethnic differences...Yoruba's don't like Ibo's in Nigeria, and Hutu's and Tutsi's have killed each other by the hundreds of thousands. I remember reading back in the 1970's-80's about South African Bantus and Zulus having problems. I think that many American Blacks think that ALL BLACKS are the same because we are treated the same by being discriminated against in general.....Africans are more independent minded because they are the MAJORITY in their countries, while Black American's are a MINORITY in America and are more close knit. By the way, I have met Jamaicans who look down on American Blacks primarily because They have a country even though it is impoverished as hell, but like my mama used to say "IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO OWN A OLD HOME THEN IT IS TO PAY WHITE FOLKS RENT FOR SOMETHING YOU DON'T OWN, AND BRAG ABOUT HOW MUCH RENT YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY THE WHITE OWNERS... Black Americans are unstable land owners in America, while POOR AFRICANS do own their land and country even though they are still being exploited along with corruption......Food 4 Thought
Hahahaha. Its funny as a joke though. Its just stereotypes. I live in Africa and its not really like that.
Dumb Nigra what???
Everyone gotta laugh right :)
^ This guy gets it.
Most of the replies to ur comment are from legit racists/white supremacists. They’re so easy to recognize. I guess they think ppl outside of their deranged circle take them seriously.
360 Crazy There's always that one black guy that blames the white man for his life's shortcomings and piss poor choices. Congratulations, it seems to be you.
Someone below made a comment which is the exact truth. Black Americans make everything about color while we Africans make everything about culture. Yes we are the same color, but culturally no we are clearly not the same. I'm African and I don't have much of an issue with Black Americans.. I couldn't be bothered. Some of them are cool, and some of them are serious about the generalizations/stereotypes in this video lol but I, just like most Africans really don't care. We get the last laugh lol
***** Because while most Black Americans don't want anything to do with Africans and think we are all poor, disease ridden, ugly "African booty scratchers" and laughing at us, *plot twist* we are laughing at them because they are so lost & confused. Lol, and my family are from Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Nigeria.. enough said. And we don't "look down" on y'all.. the non-ignorant ones anyway. But like I said, we really are unbothered, we just mind our own business. I have nothing against Black Americans.
*****
Just explained this below. And I know SO many Africans & other immigrants who come abroad and within a year, they are crying they wanna go back home. They miss the freedom, the culture, etc. Yall really think you're living the life and are greater than everybody else.. news flash.. you're not! Many immigrants only come abroad to work, save up some money, go back home, start a business with that money and live the life! Hardly any immigrants come here with the intention of staying here, unless they are refugees or something. You guys have never been to Africa to see how they live, so your opinion is invalid. Immigrants come from another country and see how you guys are living and this is what it is. Take it or leave it. Nobody is pointing fingers, like I said, we don't care! &Take care of home? Help clean up the black community and stop making yourselves the laughing stocks all the time.
*****
Oh! I see where the bitterness is coming from... I see your comment about an African man using you for papers. Lol poor thing. And for the record, I'm Canadian. Where majority of the black people are immigrants and we don't have to deal with bitter ass black americans looking down on Africans lol. And you gotta be kidding? Africans go to America and you black people look down on them and don't even wanna associate with them, and even tease/make fun of them! Don't even try that BS!
*****
Lol you guys are a lost cause! Shame.
*****
Wow, I find it so cute you guys are tryna flip the script now. Real adorable. We Africans have self-pride. Pride in our heritage, culture, languages, food, music, etc. And we don't care if yall like it or not, because we are not even paying mind. We are living our lives while you guys are criticizing us, the whole world is watching you guys and are the worldwide laughing stocks, not us.
Look at the foolishness like World Star Hip Hop, you guys love to blame mainstream media for always portraying you in a negative light, a black man owns WSHH and instead of fighting the stereotypes, its perpetuating them x100! And furthermore you guys support it and give it more popularity! You guys are on there laughing, entertained, other people are on there laughing and entertained as well, except they're not laughing with you, they are laughing AT you.
Most of you guys don't know how to behave, all of the silly black stereotypes are from you guys yet affects black people in Canada, and even the UK.
This is ridiculous! I'm not going into more details. You and I both know how most Black Americans are, and so do other people. Don't lie to yourself hun.
It's one thing for you guys to be the way you are, but it's another to try and flip it back at us smh. You guys would tease African kids so bad they weren't proud to be African anymore, or claim they were something else like Jamaican. Anyways, I'm done. You guys can continue to dwell in ignorance. At the end of the day regardless of the teasing I was and always will be proud to be African. End of discussion.
I used to feel the same until I successfully dated two African women in the nineties (the BEST relationships I had). I had to understand that their culture and and practices are completely different from ours. Also there are 54 countries in Africa that are completely different. I dated one from Ghana and one from Sierre Leone. It's all a misunderstanding. We have to talk to one another
Rodney Davis why no marriage?
you date but no marrige? typical...
Bullshit
best part is the countries are bulltshit, we Europeans made the borders before fully exploring the land. there are thousends of small tribes that differ in culture.

You keep believing this Liberal bullshit your Mom tells you.
Being an African (Ethiopian) and raised in America, I can heavily relate to both Africans and African Americans. So, reading the comments is very triggering to me, I feel like I'm being disrespected by both sides😂😂😂
interesting....what are your sources
CAUSE PPL STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IN BOTH SIDE ARE BADD PLL AN GOOD PPPL, POORS AND RICHES, FATHERS WHO ABANDON KIDS, ETC.. COLOR ITS NOTHING NOR EVEN THE PLACE.
I don't hate anyone it's sad that it has to be this way. People of color from Africa do not care for people.of color from American. That is why I choose not to date people of color from Africa.
Nathan Mulugeta exactly my friend
Nathan Mulugeta brother that's the feeling of being brown in America. Trust its difficult being african American bcus ur raised that both countries do not want u so we grow up confused not sure where we can go to call home.
Hahaha, I love my black people. Half of my life in Africa and half in the U.S. this It is accurate to say, African do not know that much about black Americans and black Americans do not know that much about African so must of them rely on stereo type to judge each other.
It's all good though. We all know our roots no doubt on that part.
I love yall black ppl! We are black
Africans sold the American Blacks (Halfricans) to the White-Man (Brown Arabs) so that's gotta be a little *awkward!*
Little did the American Blacks know at the time that being sold into slavery to what would eventually become the USA was the best thing that could have happened to them, getting the Hell out of Africa.

Mariivoire Us "african americans" arnt african really. The name african was a white mans name. and caanan is the true name of the people. "african americans" are not african according to the bible. They are top different people. Christ the isrealite is black and so was everyone else. God say the egyptians, wich are africans are strangers. and so is esau (the white man) they were once our brethren but not since they started having slaves. You realize egyptians, wich are african origin had black slaves. They wouldnt sell their own people out like that and work them to death. So they had the isrealites wich are also "black"...If u dont believe me read the bible(your history book)

Africans who study in America are a far cry from African Americans. They actually value education, learning and hard work.

alexnickolaev good for you 👍🏾
King Slomolon, why is that most African rulers sell their countries wealth (natural resources) from under their peoples feet to gain profit and material wealth.
This is a general statement. I am from Ethiopia and I remember my uncle made me watch "roots" when I first came to US so I can understand what African Americans went through. My older cousin told me it is because of African Americans we have it easy now. I also remember African American students sticking up for me over some racist bs in high school. African Americans are the most accepting and cool people people I know. We Africans have the responsibility of sharing anything that is good with people that are oppressed and have the same heritage. I agree there are a lot of ignorant Africans out there but they don't represent all of us.
Ummm... u are kissing ass right now, sis. I’m African too, and the first time I moved here, African Americans bullied me from middle school to the end of high school, calling me an African booty scratcher and clicking at me. Black people are the only ones who ever treated me like shit, and now being African is cool, and they wanna wear dashikis and shit. Fuck outta here
@miss sweden clicking is some white people stuff. Nobody was doing that. Now the booty scratcher part YES. I was called an African American booty scratcher. I was born and live here with a slave master last name lol. If childhood jokes makes you, anti Black American I don't know if you are ok in the mind.
@@onhn2655 I've had Black Americans use clicking noises and mock me for being African from middle to high school. As an adult you dont deal with that, most Black Americans are coo.

I mean but if black people bully Africans they whole childhood then theyre gonna carry that with them into ther adulthood.
MrShirye dumbest explanation ever. you people raise your kids to be ignorant and disrespectful, then get mad when what goes around comes back. let the divide stay!
***** you're full of shit, and I couldn't care less if you enjoyed being a white man's punching bag. This does not negate anything I said. IF YOU CAN DISH IT OUT YOU CAN TAKE IT. What goes around comes around. At the rate that AAs complain about other people hating you, you should have the drive to understand why. People don't just hate you for the hell of it, but hate you because of how you treat them (immigrants especially). You often initiate strife and bullying and then tell people to get over it, when you can't even get over slavery or other negative racial experiences which didn't even happen to you. You are not as mature and evolved as you like to think you are. Bottom line is you teach people what to think of you, with your own behavior, and if you teach Africans at an early age that you're skin-tone obsessed, with no values, then this is what they will take with them into adulthood. Is it common to abandon the things that you have seen and been taught in youth and/or at an early age??? NO. THIS is how people's perceptions get built! Wake up, idiot!
MrShirye it’s probably passed your literate comprehension #Ethiopia
@MrShirye No this is a lame excuse. You wouldnt excuse racism from white children so don't try and dismiss the ignorance from Black American children when it comes to how many of them diss Africa.
I don't think Africans hate black Americans. My wife is Nigerian (Yoruba), and I'll be honest, her dad gave me the side eye at first, but after he saw that I wasn't a bum and that I could take care of his daughter, we were like two peas in a pod. Sure, there's a lack of understanding on both sides, but it's nothing a little cultural education can't fix.

JUST- Ian is it true that your country is being sold to zionists ? , I read somewhere that they trying to convert people their to Judaism so they can cut off the water resources from egypt , also do you know that the EU wanted to give the jews , jewish homeland state in Uganda when it was under the conoly power cuz ottomans refused to give Palestine to them , but the zionists refused and said they wanted palestine so the british invaded it from the ottomans then made the european zionists imigrate their in large number and after that the palestinans protested cuz they thought after the ottomans fell they can have their own independed state but then british wanted to give most the land to the zionists so the arab/zionists war broke out and USA supported zionists , the arabs lost their land and then fought again to take it back etc .
do you know this story or you don't even know that Israel might have been in your country and they would have propabitly done to you what they done to the Palestinians , so yeah be grateful that god didn't curse you with zionists in your land stealing it and calling you the native terrorist , will if I remember the white colonization called nelson mendila terrorist for wanting end of apratial and independce

This is just not true. Every negative experience I've had with Black Americans based on our different backgrounds was incited by the American.
Bryan Asare I can relate to what you are saying. After traveling to many countries all over the world I have concluded that African Americans are the most ignorant people on the planet.
je'suis Elle lmfao you must be braindead
My experience with blacks seems to be dependent upon their age. Older black men are always cool and respectful, it's hit or miss with the young ones.
I’m white American and have had loud mouth black people start problems all around me when I’m in a bigger city. Never had an African start shit. Africans are smart and come to America to better themselves and families with school. Black Americans treat school like it’s a cruel joke.
Mariivoire They didn't steal gunpowder from the Chinese so much as adopted and adapted it. If there's new and better technology out there, why not use it?
0:29 i just love watching those 2 white guys laughing their heads off 😂😂😂
I'm African-American, so my perspective is that there's ignorance on both sides. From my personal experience, Africans expect black americans to have a bit more knowledge on Africa than what they see, first hand. African-Americans have been shown a very warped view of Africa that has been perpetuated since infancy. And, this is perpetuated ever year on Black History Month when all we see is a history of slavery and battles against discrimination and racist policies that were abolished a short 50-60 years ago (in terms of world history, this new). Any mention of African heritage is held in some form of shame because of what we "know" about Africa. Add this with the stereotype that Africans hate African Americans on sight, doesn't help matters. So, conversations need to had in order to understand one another. We don't need to suddenly love each other; we just have to have some understanding and move on with our lives.
Little Melody
most of us don't hate you especially for being african too. but the stereotypes types on tv has a lot of truth to them. we noticed. that like
Not all black people are from Africa!! a lot are actually Indian or Dominican and was in this country before white people, there are different shades because in all reality we are all one race which is the human race. They say black people....well you have Dominican, African, Jamaican you have all different types. Anybody that thinks all black people are from Africa is retarded to me.
+Kala-ada Idakari Opusunju
nope some not all!!!there is no proof that every single black person came from africa but there is proof that brown skin people was in this country before white people
The only difference is that black Americans and Jamaicans consider themselves as black/brown.Black/brown skin Dominicans do not consider themsleves as blacks.Dark/brown skin Dominocans believe in some big lie that they're hispanics.

"If you sit up against a building you look like an alley" loooooool
I will say that in the past 20 years, Black Americans are more accepting of African Culture. They embrace it more. But during the 80s and 90s, not as much. Black Americans went out of their way for people not to call them African as if it was a bad thing. Made fun of the accents. Called them African booty scratcher. Thought we all lived in huts. Rode elephants. That we were poor and starving. Thought they were superior because they were American. NOT ALL!!! I DON'T WANT TO GENERALIZE! But many of the ones that my family and I and friends encountered when we immigrated here.
But you can blame that ignorance on media's portrayal of Africa & just a lack of resources.
Now, thanks to the internet, books, CZcams, many different outlets for people to learn, people are able to see a different side of Africa that wasn't in the forefront before. They see that Africa is a very rich continent with so many different layers to it. So now, African Africans are embracing it. They want to lean more about their ancestry. Also, with the uprising of more and more Africans relocating to the US, they have more friends that are African. People are being exposed to different cultures and are accepting it more. People are marrying into it more. There's much more intermingling unlike before.
The views in the video was in the past, but definitely not in the present.
Being in my 30s, I've experienced both sides. I will say that my parent's generation definitely experienced the of the negative side of it. I saw their struggle. Brillant college educated people not getting jobs because of their accent
Me? Not so much. I was raised here. If not for my name, people wouldn't know that I'm African because I have an American accent. But I do remember in my formative years, kids ridiculed Africa or African kids with accents. They didn't know any better or they heard it from their parents. Or when they met me, I would get the "You don't look African" comment like it was a compliment. Um...what does that mean?
End rant!
I thought the video was hilarious!
Oh, and about the white man comment, based on my parents generations and experience, white people gave Africans more opportunities or would view Africans as more hardworking. So that could be why.
joyful Wtf is a black American?
@@badbroadexclusives787 Ummm...it's an American who's black. What else would it be? Should I call myself a European-American?

I agree they did the same with haitians
Maaan that little tune so pretty

Hallo, waay meinst du
why do some Afarican americans think every group of people hate them?
wondu xx If you've walked in our then shoes you will understand
Tony Jackson
I understand your angry at white ppl but why other ethnic including african ppl.
danyelah Tabaat Because you do. The media has brainwashed everyone against blacks regardless of what country it is in. Not only do they hate American blacks but they hate Africans too.
Thats why it pisses us off when Africans look down at us. When they think they are above us. When they use our American benefits our ancestors died for because Africans sold us.
It isn't right for Africans to hate us. We have done nothing to them or for that matter anyone else in the world. But they all hate us. We are a daily reminder of their sins. Africa you are the worse one because our ancestors came from there. When the black population here has always looked up to Africa and wanted to go back. Now I've met enough arrogant Africans I won't step foot on the continent. Why should we return to the people that made it possible for us to be enslaved?
Which African tribe sold your ancestors? Please answer this question... I see Black folks regurgitate this garbage about "Africans selling blacks into slavery" without actually identifying which group of Africans did so..
You people need to get off the internet and read a book, you're being misled badly by selfish people in your own community.
This is why, sadly, people don't take Black Americans serious... It's not that every nation has been brainwashed to hate you....
YOU've been brainswashed to hate yourselves!
You have such a low self esteem about yourselves that anyone showing dignity and integrity in relations to their own culture invokes jealousy...
And the sad thing is there are African Americans who have showcases the best that Black America has to offer, making amazing contributions to the Arts, Sciences, Politics etc......
But here's the irony I've come to realize; most Black folks hate on these individuals too.
So look in the mirror and look at your communities, stop blaming others and take accountability for what's wrong in your neighborhoods.
Why don't you guys direct this much negativity to drug dealers and rappers?
Africans did sell other Africans into slavery, and it wasn't just one group that did it, many did.
Well. ....I'm defeated
Peace and love to everyone out their in the world.
One of the best !
People in the comment must not know how to laugh or something it's not for real he joking
Kate-Lynn Hodges ... Comedy is only funny where there’s some truth to it tho, that’s what makes you laugh
hes joking but its so true...i used to do some work here with somalians and kenyans back in the day...and i was always listening to hip hop...THEY COULDNT FUCKIN STAND IT!and they couldnt fuckin stand american blacks (and not like they were just annoyed with them...there was some visceral hardcore hatred going on...some KKK type shit,i kid you not)
No thats real shit. africans and those of african decent are as prone to disliking each other as the various white cultures.
Africans look down on blacks, Haitians and Jamaicans. Haitians and Jamaicans dont like each other. Haitians and Jamaicans tend to dislike american blacks.
At the end of the day it isnt any different than the Irish not liking the english or Italians and vice versa.
killmonger+ i'm not saying the feeling isnt mutual :p
TheHairyBeast y’all are embarrassing as hell
Wow a lot of these comments are just hateful
Devonte Woods oh the horror
What were you expecting in such a dumb video?
I got so confused with the title, I had to come and check it out myself!
I did notice this once, we have a regular from Cameroon who shops at my store and he’ll completely ignore my manager (African American) to go ask me question. My manager told me the one and only time he talked to him was when the customer asked where I was when I was on break so I could ring up his items
i die everytime he makes that face "this n-gga" 😆
Literally every comment under this video from Africans tells us how we shouldnt generalize them then they go on to do the same thing to us. Wake the hell up, we arent all the same just like you arent all the same. Some of these comments are incredibly ignorant and just go to show that maybe these jokes are coming from a place of truth. If you can generalize all black Americans to the point where you say we all get aggressive instead of being polite, we are from crime infested neighborhoods, we lack education, and WE make everything about color not the racist people who throw our color in our faces, then you are in desperate need of an education about blacks in America. Before criticizing us how about taking 15 minutes to read up on our history, or simply have a conversation with one of us so you can see how truly wrong you really are.
And they kinda have stats and numbers on their side. Sooooo.
julie hackathorn so y'all should give up? Damn where did the white people go that my ancestors fought for 400+ years. I looked up too you white people we made you the war ready men, and women you once were. But no your men want too be women, and your women delude themselves too think they are men. Have fun y'all! I dont know about you all, but all I know is I'm dying a free man. Just like my ancestors did before the treaties.
Also Africans Americans are scared of bugs, and commitment. Commitment too just about anything, (finances, community, family, relationships) lol have fun Africans. Just sitting here waiting....
An Injun With a Gun wait, what? I agree you. The pussification and femnazism of this country make me sick.
An Injun With a Gun and my fury consumes me when I see liberal rags shitting on us, and my heart breaks for every kid shooting up with God knows what out of being such lost souls.
Love it
Tank yu for bringing us here lololol
My Step dad was in the army in the 70's and he was stationed all over europe and mostly germany. He told me a story about how him and some of the guys from his barracks were just enjoying a night on the town when he saw some africans walking in their directions. He said "hay my brothas, how you doin" and they replied "we are not your brothas, we are free men." so he told me that they didn't like blacks because we are descendants of slaves. i also think its because we forget our roots sometimes.
I’m African myself and that shit ignorant asf
I'm an African living in the US.
it's obviously wrong of them to have said that. However, I can't help but think that we Africans and Black Americans have very little in common, other than our skin tone. Value system, moral compass, culture and many other things are extremely different, I may find myself having more in common (theoretically)with a conservative white even though he/she might be racist against me, than I have with an "African" American.
And I can't help but think that the hundred years of oppression must have had some role in the development of the behaviors and cultural norms which I don't understand/appreciate.
We're ALL victims of the same brainwashing and mental conditioning white "people" has given to ALL black on Earth ....
The truth is a much stranger story....
Most Black Americans are not from Africa at all, but are indigenous to the Americas. ... 🤔
@@munzirshaikhoun5113 you mean the value system and cultural norms that has completely failed africans in africa? I have more respect for AAs fight and accomplishments over the last four hundred years. The african cultural norms would not have served them well in the hell that they were sold into. They have survived and achieved in the last four hundred years more than africans have done in their own land. So much so that the society that AAs shed blood sweat and tears to open up is now high on the list of africans wanting to leave africa and go to. Nah much respect to AAs and what they have done in the west while africa was sleeping.
Africa is not one country.
There is some truth to this and it also applies to black people in the Caribbean also. Here's why that is, black people who grew up in other countries had to struggle to make it, black people in America had to struggle to make it, but the difference is the opportunities black people in America had lets say from the 70's up to now most blacks around the world do not have so there is a resentment that African American people are wasting something most people desperately want. African Americans are considered to be very lazy and entitled, always blaming other people for everything that's wrong in their life and never willing to work hard for what they want. Meanwhile black people in other countries struggle wishing they had the same opportunities to get a quality, free education or to have the opportunity to work hard to climb that ladder.
Africans are like Asians they value education SO much thats one difference between them
Ricardo J Aguiar So true.
@KN Byam and how did those opportunities from the 70s on came to be? Because of the blood sweat and tears of black americans. A struggle that has left scars on the black americans but now africans and others just see the opportunities and not the struggle and so easily point their fingers at black americans. Not only are they unaware of AAs struggle to open up the society for all to enjoy but they seem unable to grasp how they as a people have failed their homelands since most live in poverty and are illiterate in their own countries where they have given up power to everybody else. As a black immigrant to america myself(caribbean) the AA story is much much more inspiring to me.
Let me tell you why Africans, especially the older generation, do not like to associate themselves with African Americans. There’s no denying that there are a lot of friendly, respectful, and well-educated African Americans. However, even if it pains me to say this, from my experience living in America as a young African man, I have never met as many people from a certain group that possess one or multiple characteristics of being rude, loud, disrespectful, violent, lacking ambition to succeed in life through education as African Americans PERIOD! Not Whites, not Asians, not Middle Easterns, not Latinos! I know African Americans have faced many adversities throughout history, and institutional racism still exists to this day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make something of yourself with what you have available. Africans think they’re better because they come to this country with no dime to their name yet they put their kids through college working a minimum wage job and give them a better future. If you’re brought up in an African household, going to college is an obligation unless you excel in something else that pays the bills. Also, no African kid would get away with any of those characteristics I mentioned above without getting a beating or being completely casted out. It seems as though those principles are not instilled in the minds of black Americans as much as they are in other groups of people. You’re not gonna see many cases of teen pregnancy in young African girls, cause that brings a great shame to the family. Furthermore, black Americans have an inferiority complex due to slavery, which I think holds them back from facilitating a better future for themselves and their kids. The only people who can change people’s negative perspective of black Americans are black Americans. This generation lacks black leaders like Martin Luther King that strive in bringing change and prosperity to black Americans. Even the educated black Americans don’t associate with blacks from the ghetto when they should be the ones to mentor young black kids, so they go on to achieve big things. Whether a person is African or African American we’re always gonna be seen us black and receive the same treatment, yet Africans immigrate here and educate themselves and excel in life while many African Americans live their life on welfare. The truth is no government is gonna change these situations for you, and you are the only one who can! I really encourage educated black men and women to see this for what it is and bring change to your communities.
How did I miss this? 😂
This is sad, this is really sad.

I don't know why but when it comes to new immigrants and first/second/third generation born people or the same country or origin there is a divide. Whether it black, asian, hispanic or even white. Some rift between the differences in culture and the question of identity causes this in a country where you will feel the constant exposure of Americanization.
Immigrants have issues assimilating and finding a community. They struggle with adjustment to a new social norms while maintaining their culture. People who lived in the United States for long have long assimilated and struggle with their identity. They may have loss or only have pieces of their identity maintained be it due to circumstances or choice. Some (and not all) immigrants dismiss american born communities of similar ethic origin as not them. At the same time, the American borns are not sympathetic to culture shock (because they probably never experienced it) and can sometimes take advantage of immigrants.
He speaking facts
Anyone know the name of the song he sings near the end?
"if you stood up against a building you'd look like an alley"
LMFAOOO
Best African accent imitation ever
west African accent get it right
Alexandar Tommorrow not all west africans speak like that you to correct yourself
Yeah they do. I'm African as fuck so I would know
Theres facts in what his saying but also please stop assuming every African has a Nigerian accent
1:49 that little song bit i need that but in a loop
This #comedy bit is flawless and masterful. But I hope our relationship to #Africa improves
This is such a good bit of material
It's short, hilarious and makes me wish it would last longer.
wow i'm french of african background and i have to say that i'm shocked to read comments like that. i didn't know african american thought this way about africans. i know that not everyone thinks this way but i guess there are ignorant people everywhere..
Milena I'm purely African from Kenya, and blacks from America are called Black Americans not African Americans. Most of them dont know shit about the African Continent and its history.
Milena, ignorance knows no race or color line. You find it in every group. Although he's doing a comedy routine, but, his punchline says a lot. Skin color comparison seems to be his focus. Comparisons, as if being Brown is better than "midnight" as he puts it.. His own words prove he's the one who thinks that he's better.. Something taught in America.
Milena
YOU'RE NOT FRENCH. your an African living in France. Da fuck
Weirdly, this revealed your ignorance. There are almost know East Africans which he already said he was from (Kenya) moving to Europe. Again, Africa is 54 countries. There are about only four countries of people immigrating to Europe as in fleeing war and most of them are North Africans.
Im Nigerian, not ll of them are like that in America
omg so true!
Real shit 💯💯✔😂😭
The ignorance of that clown is splendid.

DIVIDE AND CONQUER in action
Not really. Many people here dislike the fact that many black Americans use the n-word like it's no big deal. When a white person uses it - he is ignorant and being cruel on purpose, when blacks use it; it's like they miss the horrible past. What's next? They're going to start calling their homes "plantations"? I don't get it and I would never disrespect us like that.
@ramp31 , that is me and I don't need a confirmation about my looks, cos I already know that I look good,lol
I'm gonna shit myself from laughing so hard
Can you explain this to me. I was working on an account in North Hollywood and encountered several people from Nigeria. When I concluded that they were Nigerian, I extended my friendship to make their transition here a little easier. Instead of responding like a normal individual, they were condescending and disrespectful. But when they interacted with these Europeans, they were acting cordial and respectful. And, I'm well read and educated, so they had no excuse.

he's from South Africa
I saw the same thing during my last deployment...
#facts 🎯💯
Comedy alright but çlearly some anger and too much ignorance here, first Africans don't know African-Americans and vice versa, the misunderstanding is mutual but being that African-Americans were beaten into hating their origin and skin it is worse in America (look how many here say they are not from Africa even though their skin alone tells it all, you don't need a history book). Second many Africans are light skinned! Africans are more genetically diverse than ANY continent/people on earth including afro-Americans that is scientific fact. Look at Ethiopians for example. Or Mandela wouldnt be the darkest dude in Harlem neither would supermodel Iman. Anyways we are all one people that need to learn about one another and learn what slavery and colonialism didnt want us to do - live in harmony and togetherness.
+bokar7 Stop spreading ignorance!!!! how old are you ? 7 yrs old? it has nothing to do with skin color , i am not sure where you have been living!!!
I've been living all over the world. Visited 47 countries including 21 in Africa. I am not sure what your point is, pray tell.
+bokar7 my point is that you VISITED 21 countries in Africa, there is a difference between visiting and LIVING !!! just because you have been visiting does not mean that you understand the African pride, nor the different cultures and beliefs

Who doesn't like who?? African Americans call us from and in Africa "African booty scratchers" us in Africa don't have a degrading name like that for Black/Afro Americans. So who doesn't like who???
Its a stupid name but IVE even been called African booty scratcher never been to Africa(yet). Its a mean name black kids call eachother especially dark skinned kids get called it (like myself) African or not. Its a form of bullying but no its not nice
African Americans playing victim again move on nothing new
Stereotypical but true I'm white and my Nigerian friends love me, and they crazy but I love them.
This was funny af!
This is true some countries in africa have a dislike for african americans

Now who's makin stuff up XD
Yea he is making stuff up. It's the social engineers doing divide and conquer. They also get black comdians saying things like no Africans tried to stop other Africans from being enslaved and sent to America. Not true lots of Africans fought against it.
You look like me and I look like you. Forget how you got here because we all know it wasn't your fault my black American siblings. The most important thing is that we're from the same motherland AFRICA. Tell me about America and I'll tell you about Africa. Together we can workout a better future for all of us!
