Prepare to laugh and be offended. Here's an excerpt from one of my lives where we comically discussed some of the dissension between members of the Black diaspora. I'll be the first person to say much of it is ignorant, but embedded in the ignorance is a whole lot of TRUTH!
Don't want to be called black, but be first in line for the benefits for education, AND WHATEVER ELSE THAT THEY CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON... Preach!!!💐💐💐🔥🔥🔥
That Part There!!! 💯
🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯‼️
You hit the nail on the head with this one. 👍🏽
They know they are black, most people outside of America lead by ethnicity not race. it’s pretty obvious they are black
Facts
I appreciate you starting with the reality of how (white) American media portrays Black Americans and why Africans/Carribeans would take that as how they should also view us. NOT realizing that the work we did and the progress we made is why they are even able to be here! It’s a twisted reality but 100% accurate IMO.
This is very true. I have an old friend who’s parents are Ghanaian and he said all they knew about us was what was in movies or tv. So it’s clear they wasnt gettin the Cosby show or living single in Ghana because he said they think we’re all thugs and low class. He told me that his aunt gave him the hierarchy of who he could marry. White women and Hispanic women were at the bottom. Guess where we were? Not on the list and he was told he better not bring one of us home.
completely agree. I have had african/caribbean and we always fell out of friendship. They'd gravitate towards me then realize I am just like the ppl they talk about. It takes me out everytime. Funky is spot on.......
Im not hearing that, movies are not reality
@@Okra_winfreythe fact that they think movies are a reality is sad
If Africans are listening to Black American men saying on public platforms that "BW kicked us out of the home for welfare". Of course its going to impact their view of Black Americans. Y'all are throwing your own women under the bus.
@8:03 Dominicans: "They need to study ya'll level of delusion."
I'm dead but its true
yes, that was a good one
I’m from Texas. So I haven’t experienced this first hand but I know that has to be a wild experience to talk to somebody Black as you and have them tell you with a straight face they not. I do wonder though if they literally mean they’re not Black or if they mean they are not Black American
😂😂😂
1:56 couple this with the fact that most of the church missionaries going to Africa are of white people. I always used to wonder, so damn there are no Black people in church in America? How is it that we only have white folks coming to Africa? Then I got to America and realized why. Many black communities are trying to get their own stuff together before going international and helping other people. Maybe if white folks did that in their own communities things might be better actually.
But I'm not going to lie. That vision that America sells abroad got shattered quickly when I landed in New York City and realized that poor struggling people were black, white, Jewish, Eastern European and everything in between. There are so many black Americans and random Jewish and Russian immigrants that I have to thank for welcoming me and my family with open arms. You can read all you want to lol, but I owe the world to some of the first black American families I met here. Forever grateful to them and is why I never take to heart some of the dumb sh*t I hear some of them say about Africans because some of them truly don't know any better.
One reason why we no longer go to their salons
We black Americans been humble BUT Today!…. The disrespect stops around me.
Lol when were you all humble? Was it when you were making fun of our food, accents, cultures, clothes…I’ll wait.
@@jessiey412 yall do the same thing… except we don’t go to yall countries and do it. Yall come to America and insult us.
@@BlackDollBabyxoxo huh? No immigrant comes to America to insult Black Americans. If they do insult you it's usually after repeated violently xenophobic interactions. Period.
@@BlackDollBabyxoxo Y'all do come to our countries and do it. You come as tourists and disrespect us and treat us as less than. It happens on both sides because there are good and bad on both sides.
@@jasminespencer2872 lies. Bruh gtfo tether
They don’t mind enjoying the rights that African Americans fought for. And continue to fight for. But here their living conditions might be better, they don’t want us to disrupt that. But they don’t understand the reason your living conditions are better and you have more opportunities. Is because of the fight of African Americans. So don’t get it twisted.
OK SPEAK ON IT ❤
Thank You 💯
Preach!
A WORD HUNNY!!!
There were Africans and West Indians involved in the civil rights movement. Plenty activists were from the Caribbean or had roots there. You’re doing the same thing you’re accusing us of doing.
We are not AFRICAN AMERICANS. We are BLACK AMERICANS let’s get that right.
Facts!!!
Double Facts!!! Africans don't even consider us there kin due to the fact our blood line is contaminated with our slave master lineage.
Thank god

That is a good one
Listen every African and Caribbean person I know that has tried to distance themselves from black America and integrate into white America has regretted it! And I'm not here to say that all white people are bad because they are not and they are not at fault for African and caribbeans. Poor decision making on how they handle individual relationships with white people because they're all not the same. But the point I'm trying to make is that they have distanced themselves. Collectively only to be upset when white people do things to them or say things to them. That's offensive and what I've noticed outside of anything verbal is that they largely get played at their jobs. They get played in relationships because they think that white people are their friends and that they have an allyship with them again. In some instances this can be true, but most of the time it is not and I know from personal experiences from having friends and people close to me who are from the diaspora that they have regretted it

Little do they know they are seen as even worse then black Americans
To be honest we get that from black Americans too, in many cases even worse from them.
@@muzoSo it was black americans who colonized your country forcing your family to flee to black american communities for refuge? If black americans are so bad, then why do you tethers copy and cosplay foundational black americans so much? Y'all call y'allselves the n-word more then we do! 🤣✊🏿💪🏿🤴🏿🇺🇲

I’m first generation Afro-Canadian of two West African parents (Ghana and Sierra Leone). I 💯 co-sign this message.
My parents even tried to talk me out of going to Yale because they didn’t want me mixing with “black Americans.” Africans look down on Caribbean folk too. 😱
On behalf of the continent, I apologize. 🇬🇭
And many Caribbean people talk mess about Africans. I grew up in London and saw it with my own two eyes. Growing up I witnessed many Caribbean people who thought that they were better than African people because they had Westernised names. They often used every anti-black remark against Africans to distance themselves from us.
Now I'm not here for a pity party but I'm here to tell you that this happens on ALL sides. No one is better than the other. I just wish people didn't generalise an entire group of people because of their past negative experiences with a smaller collective. We are all black at the end of the day.
Funky, please add that the Africans also look down on all Black people from the West Indies and the western world they feel that they are not slave descendants so they’re better
No need to apologize! I wish more Africans would acknowledge the BS and stop it! They see black as black, we are all one in the same in their eyes!
@@LondonsPointOfView1 yes as a Caribbean person a lot of them talk about Africans people and distance themself. But if we being honest black American are the one that look down on Africans, talk ish about their looks, made fun of them growing up. Africans and Haitians had it the worst growing up
Don’t apologise for on behalf of all Africans for something my parents never told me because yours did, and I know a lot of other Africans that have never been told that sh@t!

I'm Bahamian. I have been in the states since 2006. I would say have patience and grace with black people not from America. It took living here over time to truly understand. Yes, when I first got here I only could see how some African Americans took opportunities for granted in college... but that's "some"... now 18 years later, and working in a Title 1 low income school, I understand how the system is a racist and broken one. People can't understand it from your perspective when their surroundings didn't expose them to that perspective. I benefitted from African Americans. I went to two hbcus and got the opportunities and scholarships off the back of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune and Ethel HEdgeman Lyle etc. I realize that because of them, I was able to strive here. You are right, when they see us.... we all just black! It doesn't matter what kind of black. Africans and West Indians can't see it through those lenses yet! My Native American husband tells me, oh but you are not "actually black" and I quickly correct him... oh yes I am. ✊🏾
Thank you! They're only seeing one side ,as Caribbean people worked twice as hard with the little resources afforded to them when we she AA taking advantage of some opportunities,notwithstanding that they think we all live in huts as such treat us that way. Which is why some may have separated themselves and not want to be treated the same. And to add,a lot of Caribbean and African people in the US are top achievers in other fields except for the hospitals.

I agree to an extent but don’t you think this is the fault of the media? The same way black Americans may believe the stereotypes on TV that Africans are starving like those commercials. The media shows most crime is committed by blacks in the US.
"Foundational Black Americans" Lmaooo, that's the problem right there. Y'all claim everything(hebreux, cherokee, indegineous, etc) but denied the very place you come from and wonder why Africans stay the f*** away from y'all. I aint never heard Foundational Chinese Americans, Jewish, German, etc. I wonder why..What does that even mean lol. Truth is you are segragating bcz you think are better but you r also big MAD bcz you are now testing your own medicine.
This rant was everything! 😂😂😂
Divide and conquer unfortunately has been here since slavey. Remember growing up and in school we were shown African villages with huts,dirt roads, and poverty . They didn’t show the other part with houses, streets, and thriving successful Africans. The same happens with them about our culture. They have controlled the image of us vs them for so long!
Exactly. Girl I went to damn Nigeria 15 years and saw beaches and mansions and was behooved baby! 😂. And my husbands brother was surprised that i wasn’t “loud and argumentative” when he first me. The stereotypes against each other is terrible man
@@livia8227 😂💯
Exactly. & when coming here the immigrants used to get called names African booty scratcher etc. there was a stereotypical joke for every group but everyone forgets how others would feel and how that would traumatize people later on… it’s always seen as one sided it’s crazy !
Thank you! This sentiment goes both ways. We need to start putting on our thinking caps and stop falling for the set up they put in play centuries ago.
@livia8227
And they risk life and limb to flee here. So that's says more than your fantansy
It was this black dude (I do mean black) from Cuba at my job.. One day at lunch he walked by the black table following behind a group of Mexican guys with his nose in the air. All of us fell out laughing; somebody said, “oh, he think he’s one of them!!!!!😂😂😂😂
😅😂
Especially in the medical field. Some African nurses and doctors think they are better than the African-American nurses. They try to join in the jokes with the white nurses, but then the white nurses start talking about them and laughing at them. 🤣🤣
I have seen it in cooperate America. Africans love to talk disrespect around whites about Black american

I’m biracial (African American and Caucasian). I’m often mistaken for being either Puerto Rican or Cuban.
I worked with a woman who was an Afro-Latina by way of PR. Our coworkers frequently thought we were related as we had very similar features, skin color and hair texture. The lady was always kind to me so I started to feel a bit of kinship between us.
Well one day, a white coworker of ours was being a bit passive aggressive. I went to the lady who resembled me and made a comment about the white coworker and that we “Sistahs” had to stick together.
Out of nowhere she swiftly corrected me and advised me that she was NOT my Sistah, and furthermore that she was NOT BLACK OR OF AFRICAN DESCENT. 😮
I stood there speechless and finally uttered “Damn, my bad”
She never ever spoke to me again. Her children never greeted me after that day either.
I was blown away by the level of delusion and the fact that Puerto Rican is not a race, it’s a nationality.

You right about the Haitians, I have had so much love and affection from Haitian folks, from my pediatrician, to teachers, to good friends, to now family members. I love Haitian people the most, and it’s unfortunate to say, because we should all be united in love. There’s always exceptions Ofcourse, but I think it absolutely has to do with history of colonization!
this read was needed 😂❤ i love my zoe’s
Let me start off by saying that I found this portion of the live hilarious! As a West Indian, I am not at all offended, as I understand that we are not a monolith. To add to that, this topic is nuanced, and I would love 2-3 representatives from the Pan African diaspora to share their experiences-maybe even an expert in black history-so we can better understand our differences and find unity amongst each other. For instance, I respect Q's experiences of other Blacks as a Florida native. Last year, it was highlighted on Tiktok how Black Americans treat Black Caribbeans with contempt whenever they travel to our nations. I would love more dialogue. Thanks for utilising your platform to shine some light, Q!
It was the other way around for me when I traveled to Jamaica 🇯🇲 the Jamaicans were rude and condescending at least the females were anyway

I have come to learn that in the Caribbean there is a large problem with classism, colorism and other ism that I can't think of, but you make a valid point that when other blacks come to this country, they should be more open to understanding the history of black Americans.

As a West Indian I need to clarify something; the problem and dislike goes both ways. When I moved to the US at 10 it was the black American kids who were my worst tormentors. Even in college it, ‘Don’t y’all live in trees’, ‘you’re not black enough’ (I’m biracial) and my favorite’ ‘y’all come here to take what we work for’. I agree the movie industry spews a lot of negative stereotypes, however when Black-Americans visit the Caribbean their attitudes and behavior mimics the same while treating the locals horribly. I was even married to a black-American and it was a horrible experience when I was exposed to the same negative BS from his friends and family. I admit that we West Indians need to improve our interaction with you all but it has to go both ways.
We can’t hold 10 years olds accountable for ignorant behavior but funky can be held accountable. His commentary is too ignorant for me to even engage with.
Ditto!
@ItsAllAnillusion or you can't explain or justify. Where do you think 10 year olds get those comments from? Everyone loved 'Coming to America' those weren't 10 year old actors stereotyping Africans!

But Funky, I do recall you once in a previous video explaining how you once felt better being an effeminate young boy than being a Haitian because Haitians were teased and tormented while growing up in South Florida. It also goes both ways. I’m American and I have heard and seen plenty of anti-African and Caribbean sentiments as well.

That’s true I went there and they treated me like family.
It’s because they fear judging their colonizers
I live in the DMV, so we’ve got a lot of every type of people here. I graduated from Wilson HS in DC many years ago, and the biggest snobs were the sons of African diplomats. Then I had a heart attack a few years ago and spent a week in the cardiac ICU. The care was excellent. Most of the nurses were West African. One nurse was from East Africa, and she and I bonded because I had visited her home town in Kenya. We were friendly one day, then the next day she was cold. I found out they gave her a demerit for ‘excessive fraternization’ or something like that. It was weird, but there is always an ‘other’ to a lot of people.
Africans who come to USA and live in the DMV area or Houston are the upper class of their third world country often time the parents work in government of their Third World country a.k.a. corrupt
that’s who you’re dealing with!
Majority of Africans live in slums and in huts as rude as that may sound its reality
My family is from Tanzania but I was born and raised in Maryland. The smoke y'all be having for "Africans" is really for Nigerians but the rest of us just be collateral damage even tho we don't do none of the judging or looking down on. For as long as I've been alive, my mother (even tho she was African) has always had Black American friends who we called aunties. Like we don't have smoke for y'all. It's the Nigerians that don't be knowing how to act.
I'm a proud HBCU graduate and my brother in-law is Black American. Like many Africans are well integrated with Black Americans and we have no desire to separate ourselves from y'all. At least for my family we were always raised with a Pan-African ethic. That we are all one and we are strongest when we're united.
It is mostly Nigerians that we know but not only Nigerians. We know which people stand in allegiance with us when we meet them though.
Wait wait? 😂😂😂😂😂 what are you saying? 🤣
Nigerians snub & act like they r better even within "tribes". My half Nigerian daughter is married to a Nigerian whose family thinks that they are better than her dad's family who is from the same tribe. I had to straighten my son n law out on some things...told that Ninja your family is NOT better than mine.
They treated my daughter bad a year ago on a trip to Nigeria. I cuss that mofo out for not protecting my daughter & grand kids 🙄
I have felt that "I'm better than you" from some Nigerians. Been around the community since the 70's..and my daughter being married to a Nigerian keeps me in the loop of their 🐂💩 😜
True! The tussle is between WEST Africans vs AAs (and I suspect the shared history is most likely the reason for this). The rest of us in the continent are routinely lumped into this and blamed for things we don't know; the idea that somehow we are hostile to AAs, we emigrate there & project hostility to AAs; that we lack knowledge of your history and look down on AAs etc.; this may be true of a lot of West Africans, but very hard to find people from Southern Africa or East Africa doing this.
Exactly
I’m fucccccking hollering purely hard because you letting know true tea!
On the real the cake soap using people are very crazy and prejudice to the fifth degree. I’m sick of it!
The Haitians are nice because they know their history. Dealt with France then the Dominicans….I know folks mad af at this. And we know it’s not everybody. But it’s enough.
I live in Miami also and I approve of this message 1000%!!!!
Im half Nigerian half Black American,was born here which means to the African community im only American...and I was like to say EVERYTHING Q said is true. Also I do not like the way Africans completely other second generation. Unlike the hispanic community Africans do not make it a point to teach their children their culture/language
No lies told. I had a ex Jamaican friend that thought she was better than me but she was sleeping on my couch. Apparently her family was high class in Jamaica and that’s all she bragged about.
But that high class didn’t translate to anything tangible in America? A mess. 🙄
Funky I almost never comment but I feel like I had to with this video!
Funky, I am black American from Miami and soooooooo many Carribean and African people have said to me: "I haven't met such a nice black girl before"
At first, I ws flabbergasted by that because I didn't understand what they meant by that I grew up in an environment where the community that raised me wasn't just poor and ghetto like these carribean and African blacks think!
Until one day I asked why? And they say that most black girls they run into are loud, disrespectful, ghetto, etc! And they have it alllllll wrong!
It's a form of prejudice! This topic will start an argument! An argument I'm ready for!
I was also the "nice" Black girl🙄
@divajayn girl it is exhausting!
Yes!!
Know what’s crazy? A lot of the “Black American” people in Miami are actually Caribbean Americans/Caribbean descent. Many Black people are not American descent.
This happened to me once.
Preach Funky..I’m Caribbean and everything you say is the truth.!!!
He said looking like Glow Worms!😂
I grew up in South Florida as a black American, and I have always been subjected to this mindset by people from the Caribbean and even though the way in which she’s sharing and I have the same sentiments. It’s like this uneducated delusion about who black Americans are and they think they’re better than us. But the whole time. I’m thinking you moved here for better life I’m not moving. Where you’re from for a better opportunity. So what would make you think that I think you’re better than me. It’s just funny to hear someone say out loud. eventually after they simulate and spend some time in the United States, they realize they’re black. The average white American cannot distinguish Haitians Jamaicans from Africans. And that’s a fact so when they see you all they see is your color and if your phenotype is African they automatically assume you are black.
If your phenotype is African are you not black? Please understand that a lot of African Americans don't consider other blacks as blacks, especially Caribbean people. Stop that please. And lot of Caribbean people are freed African American slaves, who got pushed out/migrated out of America especially Bahamians.

ate this up funky !!!!!!
Que is always trying to disrespect Jamaica and Jamaicans! Smh!
Yeah it sounds personal
No lies told
I have been cackling for 30min. 😂😂😂😂😂 This one is for the books Que!
Not study their level of delusion. 😂
100% had to let a Jamaican go …. He felt he was so much better than me.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the skin bleaching and non dressing took me out 😅
Funk as a Caribbean person I don’t disagree on what you have said, but I hope you know not all Caribbean people think like that. I love black American culture and I love black Americans, but sometimes I feel like an outsider who trying to fit in knowing that I’m different. Sometimes it’s the other way around.
You must be a rarity, because the Caribbean people I know, definitely have a snobby type attitude towards us black American women
Of course not all primitive Caribbean African Latino Asian immigrants think this way
just 99% of y’all do 🙃 but luckily most black Americans don’t live in the primitive, immigrant hubs of New York City or south Florida therefore, we don’t have to come across you people and luckily the Democrat party via black America and Republican Party are becoming tougher on immigration and deportations will be increased, thankfully especially in the black American southern states
@@kia.203 it’s not snobby it’s called jealousy! All African and Caribbean men go after black American women African and Caribbean women get jealous. You can’t be snobby when you come from a third world.
@@javionriley8739 I don’t know what I did to offend you wish you well peace and blessings 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️🎆🫶🏿😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
I've seen where funky have said this more than once and I would like for him to explore this conversation a bit deeper by having some serious conversations with people from those communities. There are alot of misconceptions and as a community I seriously think its worth a deeper dive.
Girlllllll the way im hollering 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no lies told tho‼️
They watch the same ratchet reality shows we do but we know that all Black people don't act like Love and HipHop actors but they think we're all the same.
Yesss I'm happy you made this a short video. You not wrong with what you experienced
Yo u had me losing my breathe yesterday 😂😂😂😂😂
But seriously, these conversations are very enlightening.
We are all victims of colonialism and the transatlantic slave trade. This type of commentary is what helps continue to divide. I definitely appreciate the honesty but we can't keep perpetuating the divide. I am half African American and half Ghanaian, so I understand it both ways.
THANK YOU FUNKY! They all think 🤔 that they’re better than us!
I have never been able to understand why they are so entitled.
Truth. They learn that hard truth especially in the Military . Come on over and SITCHO AHHH DOWN 😂
I saw this part on your live and it gave me ALL the life in this subject 💅🏾 I couldn’t have expressed it any better 🙌🏾
This is an important conversation! I hope you speak on it again. I wish for unity among the African diaspora!❤
I'm African born and raised but I've never understood why there's this beef btw Africans and African American. We're all niggas and the white man won't differentiate us. Now truth be told, everyone has experience something negative from each culture and something positive as well so the fight is understood. But let's just move on from it. Instead of highlighting the beef, let's be positive
This country was built by Black Americans and without the previous generations contributions black immigrants wouldn't have any right or opportunity to even come to this country in the ways that they have.
One party is clearly out of order and it's not a both sides thing in that regard.
Black Americans don't immigrate to other countries and do what many other groups continue to do. It's about the disrespect and the absurdity of the boldness.
We can all do better but the issue still needs correction. It's ashy and ghetto at this point. We are not immigrants and y'all are. We don't expect tribute or reverence but we would appreciate it if y'all didn't perpetuate Antiblk propoganda and stereotypes that literal blame us for circumstances we don't even control. It's very deep, it's not a both sides thing, it has a history going back over 50-100 years and it wears ppl down to the point that they inevitably choose hatred and violence. Talk to yo ppl if it ain't you b/c it's very real and it persists the more ppl excuse it.
I agree 100% I couldn’t have said it better. African and Caribbean people should be trying to link up with African Americans and learn how to navigate here in the USA
SPEAK THE TRUTH, BROTHER.... AND SHAME THESE PHONEY PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE BETTER THAN OTHERS‼️‼️‼️‼️
The media stereotyped us towards them and them towards us.
Funky, I have to agree with you. The way you went from 0 to 1000 had me hollering.
But you are right!!!!!
I'm Haitian and I appreciate your comment about us. We love all Black people all over the world.
Thanks
My family immigrated here from the West Indies when I was a child and I hate that this is true. I'm always checking Caribbean folks and reminding them that were it not for African Americans, none of us would be able to immigrate here. I'm so sorry ya'all.
We y’all will be deported soon, because black Americans in the Democratic Party and white Americans in the Republican Party are both fed up with immigrants so don’t be too comfortable here
