They survived in America because of their creativity and a strong will to endure despite the circumstances. And yes Faith also played a role in it...
Plus early Blk leaders never advocated Blks leaving.
And why aren't migrants from Various African Countries and non Blk American ( foundational ) asked to return?
And who's going to help uplift our brothers & sisters in America, but us?
@@Kengandaczcams.com/video/83fQxf-01TI/video.html
There is a all out war on Africa and the diaspora to destroy them for good. We have to become united and loving and trusting each other as family.
Nonsense. Name where all these ' wars ' that are talking about are? Ignorance is a Bliss.
Amen
Yes, when was this ever the case in African history? or African American history?
People need to stop creating the future based on utopia, and lies told to them time & time again.
We are talking about (2) different groups of people. Actually multiple groups of people as Africans discriminate against each other using Tribal affiliation, skin tone, hair texture, language, etc... Pygmies are called non-humans by some Africans, and our Albinos in many parts of Africa are forced to live behind gated communities & going out protected by body guards to protect them from human poachers (who are Blacks).
What you are talking about is to be done on an individual level, not continental.
Just stating facts that most Africans/African Americans like to ignore
This is true.
That Not true if that is the case Hey when you as a caribbean talk against the wrong of white People in Europe the Africans there show so much hate towards you ? Something is not right you are all hypocrites 🙄
A lot of people have this idea that everyone in Africa is supposed to be one big happy family which they've never been.
There’s no race or place like what you describe so agreeing with you
@@GOTravelhannel ...Exactly. People in Africa don't even identify as "African." They identify by either their nation or tribe.
Yes a wetdream 😆
@@nonyabiz12 Not true, except for Afrikaners, the only real African...
@@francoiswilliams ...True. The "Afrikaners" are the real Africans. I was speaking about the endogenous people of the continent.
I've been subjected to this "you have no culture, you have no history" trope myself as a caribbean man. I was talking to a Zimbabwean woman who was living in South Africa years ago and she threw that out as well. African nationals have this tendency to believe that non African blacks are somehow less than they are, and I wish I knew how they arrived at this nonsense.
Its miseducation and ignorance imo. Have no culture is disrespectful statement
u literally said u spoke with 1 Zimbabwean (individual) and the next thing u literally described the encounter as "African nationals" ( group ) , do u see how that looks ? u took 1 account then turned it into the whole continent
Sad to here this, Bahia came to Nigeria specifically south western part, took the culture and made it better, now what we have is the identity of the European. I envied them for that, it always pathetic the Abrahamic religion has led to a lot of chaos in my country
So why generalise all africans after having misunderstanding with one Zimbabwean as if African carrebeans are perfect. If u expect all africans to love then better stay where u are. Even africans, whites beef each other on certain issues. It's fact of life but u should look at a bigger picture. U arent angels just like africans
Fantasy
It’s a weak mindset when one person claims all those people hate me because some showed me hate. I came to America in the 1980s and black Americans showed me love and some showed me hate, it would be stupid of me to claim the hate and not the love. Coming from Jamaica to America one thing I could not understand is when I got on the bus I would sit in the front if seats were available but I noticed that black Americans would go straight to the back even when seats were available in the front. Later I found out about the history of the back of the bus.
Good job Sherura educating the people who have no clue about black people history
Oshay - Bringing these well informed, well spoken, high IQ guests on the platform to discuss substantive topics like this will continue to separate you from the competition. This is filling a massive gap in the marketplace and doing God's work at the same time. Please keep it up!!
That's a lie the guy in the white didn't know what he's talking about little do he know when america fall Africa will fall also Africa gets all their imports from america
Yes!
Good conversation. But I think African leaders need to change the education curriculum teach what happen and what we need to do to unite and develop the continent
How will the African curriculum help if blacks born overseas have their own curriculums?
The issue is that many of the so called "leaders" have clauses with their former colonial masters to only teach pro-european history in addition with them continuing to pay those european countries a percentage of all their country's resources. Nigeria for example has a clause with britain brokered between them and the northern Nigerian elite to never allow a working refinery in Nigeria. All refinery rights are exclusive owned by Shell company. So shell company and the royal family own Nigeria.
"America is on a train to hell" mannn so many Americans don't know
Facts.
Some feel so overwhelmed that they feel defeated already. It's exhausting. But many of Us African Americans are making moves to get out.
What you don’t know is the world is on a train to hell. These guys have no clue
Well I guess you never heard of the Gullah Geechee Wars?

Real talk my G-mother was proud of me 1 minute when i went to Uganda for the first time. Told her that the woman that i'm making my wife is making her a Ugandan dress. Long story short, I was prepped to go back a second time and she was crying begging me not to go back because they were gonna put stuff in my food and put me under a spell. I didn't think 2wice......packed my bag and got on that flight. I don't give a damn what people here in the U.S. think, especially family members. I'm a grown ass man and I like being in Uganda. It would be nice to be there all the time writing music and working in the film world there but i still don't know where to start
Well, Sir, perhaps you should have ALSO explored the MANY efforts that your own Black American women are doing by growing organic food, breaking generational curses, and ALL TYPES of holistic and positive things to enhance the minds, bodies, and Spirits of their men and communities. It definitely sounds like that Ugandan woman took advantage of any self-hatred and disdain for your women by saying that statement about curses, as if they don't have that kind of energy in Uganda.

These brothers are speaking much wisdom.❤
Speaking wisdom regarding justifying the hidden, quiet, and sneaky forms of micro-agressions (including female aggressions), that a PURPOSEFULLY played against Black American women-even on the Continent.

Thank you for being the inspiration, strength and guidance needed for your people on the continent and within the Diaspora! 🖤♥️💛
thanks so much!
Agree great job 👏🏿
Completely agree 💯
I enjoy these conversations, especially because I am deeply involved in helping Africans and Americans navigate cultural differences. I recent times, with so many African Americans moving to African countries, I have concentrated on offering cultural orientation to them, to help them prepare before they leave the USA and then to cope with the cultural differences in Africa. I have a whole program for them.
Professor when can I bring you on? Do you have an email?
@@Kengandawould like to see him too on your channel thanks
@@Kenganda I am glad you finally did bring me on. Thank you for all your hard work.
I also enjoyed this conversation and learned a lot from the discussions.. However i have to disagree with the "Fuck all attitude" often embraced by BA... we should remember that different African ethnic groups had their own rules that governed their society, whoever broke the rules were either punished or banished from the group. A "Fuck all attitude" would have made them an outcast, living on their own in the wild. Even elephants co-exist in herds based on social cohesion amongst each other, an elephant that misbehaves is permanently kicked out or even worse killed by other elephants..same goes for Lions.
Great minds think alike. This was going to be my next podcast video. The Brother who talked about the ignorance of each other is what I was going to say too. Great conversation as per usual Fam.
Great presentation, Oshay and the group! We need to set aside our petty differences and unite as one!1✊🏿✌🏾💪🏾😁🤷🏾♀️😎
Proff. Sherura needs a permanent sit here. Very knowledgeable and eloquent. Great show
In America people are raised to have egos. When you visit other countries put your egos aside and respect the culture of the land you are in period.
Among both African Americans and Africans, you're going to have those who just can't get along or know how to team up to push a common agenda forward. The best thing we can do is for men and women of goodwill on both sides to forge a roadmap to a better future. Then those who were left behind and either get on or program or get trampled under the train of mutual progress.
What is NOT addressed are xenophobic, racist/sexist practices against Black American women. However, when you only talk about, "the Black man," all day, you don't see that. 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵 🌼 🌸

Saying African Americans don't have culture has to be one of the biggest misnomers that exist on the continent. They say that while yearning to dabble in trends that African Americans set - since the late 80's pop culture is directly tied to African Americans
Africans have their unique perspective of what "culture" means and perhaps why you find some of them making such statements. Urban culture or pop culture is not what we regard as real culture in Africa generally. That's the misunderstanding.
@@palesamogorosi8939 thank you. I've been explaining this to them
@@palesamogorosi8939 unfortunately this urban culture is the only image shown. If the rural African American culture, especially from the Deep South, is shown, there is a lot to discover. For instance the Gullah Geechee that live in Georgia, North and South Carolina and Florida - they have a distinct culture and language similar to Africans taken from what is now Sierra Leone.
@@ou8r122there is a "one continent" link as far as human kind is concerned.
Archaeologists and scientists have shown that homo sapiens, modern humans, first lived in Africa 160000 years ago and left the continent between 60000 and 90000 years ago. Human adaptations to climate and environment is what has caused racial/colour differences - this is even evident in Africa among Nilotes, Cushitic and Khoi Khoi/San peoples.

. Kacwagure was incredible! I'm glad he was on there to try to shed some light on the African American experience! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this, i really enjoyed this podcast.
Excellent podcast !!. You guys nailed it 👏🏾 👌
This needs to be shared, big time.
As an African that has lived in America for 31 year's.
My experience of newly arrived Africans in the USA when I greet them, they look at me with a gesture like trash. No kindness in their eyes not even a crack of a smile. Until they find out I'm from Africa then suddenly they are my friends and even tell they thought I was African American. I'm very disappointed at their behavior.
But I have been very maltreatment by African Americans as well. More like their children when I was young.
Now Africans experience their children being bullied by African Americans..when they go to work they will stay away from their mother's and father's. In African culture your children are a reflection of the parent's. Often time's when Africans first arrive as refugees, they are placed in the roughest neighborhoods where it's the ghetto area of America and it's what they see in that community. Now they might see all based on the people they encounter in that community.
But it will take time with a friendly smile and they will at last open their heart to you.
Newly arrived Africans from where which country specify????? That's the generalization they hate
I think that's one of the cultural differences between Africa and the Western world, or America particularly. In Africa we have the spirit of ubuntu and that shows in how we even interact with one another or even strangers. It's just basic humanity. There's a level of friendliness and ease that you find in Africa and cannot be found anywhere else in the world. A lot of people who have travelled to other parts of the world have attested to this. Even our African comedians such as Loyiso Gola have made jokes about this. The Westerners can be cold and also ignorant to other cultures which is why they may mock or tease people who are different to them just to other them. Your experience is a very common one and certainly unfortunate.

In my opinion it's not that DEEP!!!. As a Nigerian we beef between different tribes , we just like that. You just got to hold your own. When you come over hold your money buy you some land get your buisness nobody is going to bother you. You can't just expect everyone to just love you get over yourself please. When I go to the market I change my accent and Fit in quick otherwise prices go up

It's going over your head. United we stand, divided we fall. Divide and conquer has always been the plan. Can you imagine the things that could be accomplished with Unity. Take a note from the Mexicans, you can't infiltrate their camp, they have a united front. Can we say the same? Keep people fighting, they will never focus on the goal.
Brother Oshay I love what you said,don't care who don't like you for now reason,when they don't even like others from their own continent,just hang with those who love you
It seems to me that the lady in the clip is one of those black Americans who romanticize Egypt and Ethiopia. She kept saying "I look Ethiopian" or Ethiopians are "the Africans I actually look like". She even said she took an Ethiopian name. This makes it look like she was desperately trying to be an Ethiopian and got her feelings hurt when she wasn't embraced as she expected.
Sure she can pass for an Ethiopian but looking at her, my first thought wouldn't be "she must be an Ethiopian." But looking like a certain group doesn't mean anything if your cultures are very different. Even within Africa cultures are very diverse and the horn of Africa tends to be more conservative than other parts of sub Saharan Africa.
Black Americans are from west Africa and majority of them look like west Africans 🤷🏽♀️
@@missethio7394 True but I've seen some who reject that fact and claim Ethiopia and Egypt, I guess because the history and cultures of these two countries seem more appealing to them.
@SunsignAquarius yeah, I was thinking it was unlikely for Ethiopians to assume she was Ethiopian unless she told them she was. It seems she was disappointed by the interactions when her expectations were not met and she misinterpreted things based on her own perceptions.
@@ravena3253 Ados are lost ppl without an identity unfortunately. This is why elder ppl in my country that fought against colonialism always say never loose ur identity, ‘we are as strong as our roots are’. Seeing how Ados act and think made me truly understand the meaning behind those words. Ados are claiming all Africans as their brothers/sisters just bc of our skin tone, they don’t understand ppl in Africa don’t view them the same way.
@@missethio7394 I agree. I was unable to copy paste the video but the CZcams channel is "Tim Swain" and the video is titled "you have no culture, you're not one of us: 3 black women have a candid Convo about African identity".
😢😢 this was a great episode. Thank you ❤
I love Kenya I have yet tu experience any type of discrimination or hatred towards me when I visited Kenya, and I've been there twice, but I have experienced Kenyans hating on Kenya and hyping up america, and they're surprised when I say I rather live in Kenya than america, the first time I came tu Kenya, which was last year April, I met a brother named Samuel wekesa, and he is a engineer, but he said something like Kenya is not as good or as developed as america is, I then said tu him, "du yu kno why that is? it is because north American countries and European countries take resources from afrika and they don't pay a fair price for them, and this is why north america and Europe is more developed than afrika is" he was so shocked and surprised when I said this, he expected me tu talk down about Kenya and afrika, I only been tu one African country but I love afrika, I never been tu Uganda but I know I will like it, and I already kno Uganda is not as developed as Kenya is, I will like Kenya more than Uganda only because I like speaking Swahili, Swahili is known in Uganda but it is not known as known in Uganda as it is in Kenya, I love the food, the people are cool, the women are beautiful, I love Black women, I like speaking Swahili, I want tu visit, Uganda, Rwanda, tanzanian, Zambia, south Sudan, Burundi, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia,
I use to think I wanted to work to make “The World” a better place but I don’t care about the world I only care about my people and helping them/ us make our lives better and save ourselves from the wrath of God. As an American African, I want to see Africa rise up to be the power it needs to be to survive until God does whatever it is he’s gonna do. We need to protect the African continent and start to kick out all those who will try to sabotage the rise of Africa. First Africans from the entire Diaspora have to start embracing each other inspire of our differences we can fight over the small stuff later after we’ve United to kill Goliath because that is the position in the world power structure Africa is in economically as well as militarily. So we have to find our slingshot and the right rock to strike our enemy and take it down. Just look at the former country known as Yugoslavia, all those groups lived together while under that occupation but as soon as they got their independence they started infighting as small ethnic groups. If African want to go that road and not do better than them that’s fine but at least shake off the west first take back you freedom to decide all economic policies and who you allow access to your natural resources for industries and how you allow it to be refined into finished products
There you go . We've been waiting for you. You can only focus on so many things and so many people. Africa first
How do you overlook Africa's History. I'm not speaking of ancient Africa, but Africa of today. No disrespect to the Continent. I am not African. I'm told my ancient ancestors are from Africa, making me a decedent of the Continent. Africa has so much history. It the seat of all Humanity on planet Earth.
I was that naive too, until I realised the world don't need me only my people need me
You know you can get your church involved in business, work exchanges and investing opportunities in Africa.
@@ctruth6185 Christian churches are generally apart of a religious corporation and they have agendas they are part of the problem. They had that big meeting back in 2015 I think was the year at the Vatican and all the religious groups were involved and there was an agreement which is why you see the values of the black church disintegrating before our eyes. Plus they all take money from the US government to stay out of certain political issues and that’s why you don’t hear from the church the way we used to in the 60’s and 70’s. This will have to be a grassroots effort created by nonprofits organizations that don’t accept one cent from the government or any other groups. I have a plan but I need the actual energy and drive to move forward and my head still isn’t ready after suffering a significant loss and taking on responsibilities. If I found the right partnership that would handle the things that I’m not ready to, then I could get it started. I need to find serious people with the skill sets my ideas will require because I’m limited in my lane of expertise and this requires multiple areas of expertise and knowledge to get going. I need programmers, program developers, economists and legal professionals as well as several others to make my idea a reality. I’m smart enough to know my limits of skills. It’s like being an architect but not a carpenter, electrician, plumber, mason, or roofer, because these are the skilled professionals required to build a structure of this magnitude, it’s not like building storage shed. Right now I’m looking to speak with program developers. If Mark Zuckerberg can do it I know I can with the right people and they have to be from the same legacy as me, no outsider from my legacy because I can’t build it on tainted ground and anything that has them folks involved in the foundation is doomed to fail. Knowing this makes it harder to build and that’s where my energy level is short.
Once black folks get past fear, and waiting for JESUS to solve their problems. Black folks will THRIVE
Same goes for Africans. Blacks are a specific group of people

Great discussion.
Great discussion, Oshay…
Doc when can we get u on!
This was a great segment and discussion. Gabs hit it on the head. African-Americans are getting caught up on a train to hell. With all that is going on, rolling back of Affirmative Action, whites attempting to redefine the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (rebranding it as voluntary immigration), rolling back of student loan forgiveness, states trying to ban critical race theory. It is all an agenda to put the faces of blacks in the ground even further. In my African / Caribbean network, we are working diligently to break barriers by collaborating on projects and events. All my adult life, 33 years, I've worked to build relations with Africans, as a Guyanese-born brother and Pan-African. The ignorance we continue to stew only drives us further apart, and this is why I try not to be offended by any African who thinks of me as an outsider (a muzungu). This was my challenge when trying to connect with Uganda in 2021-2022, which caused me to cancel my trip altogether. I recognized, in my communication, that I was always looked at as an African-American, no matter how many times I stated I am a Guyanese and Pan-African. The misunderstandings between us are not designed by us, but a symptom of slavery and European colonization. Recently, I visited a West African embassy and met directly with that country's Ambassador and his assistants to discuss entrepreneurship development in his country. This was almost three months ago, and I followed up twice. So far, there has been no reply or follow up. African governments are asking the Diaspora to return home and help build, but I serious think they don't care. Acceptance is the one thing not extended to Diaspora Africans, especially those who were not born on the continent. Gabs also made another strong point about the Chinese proliferation all over Africa. I plan to address in one of my upcoming webinars for Black Business Month, how Africans in the Diaspora can build connections in Africa and take their services to the continent. I never cared about not being accepted and continue to reach out and continue my attempts to build bridges. I do recognize, and this was part of my post on my African platform this morning, that I am primarily accepted by Africans in the Diaspora, than Africans at home. I get it. I am different, a Guyanese, South American, and although Black, they may not see me as an equal. As Oshay said, don't worry about the people who do not like you and focus on those who do, which I do. That other brother was enlightening as well. Definitely bring him back. HIs points on "perception" were great. Joanita was excellent as always. Thanks for all the strong discussions and topics. Keep rising.....
I don’t trust African leaders when they stay sending their money here and live in Europe
Don’t at me ….
I’m curious as to why you feel as though Affirmative Action, Critical Race Theory and Student Loan forgiveness are positive things for the African American community. We should all celebrate the idea of living in a meritocracy where your skills and actions determine your value rather than the colour of your skin. We also need to teach our youth to make better choices and accept accountability instead of looking for someone else to blame our failings on. America is not perfect by any means but it is still a country that gives you a tremendous economic advantage if you are born there. I’m sure that most would prefer that life to life in a simple African village where your options are quite limited.
If you are an African American living in America realize that you have the power to influence change in the country… with your vote and with your actions in day to day life. Build a strong family unit. Stay away from drugs and violence. Promote education and hard work. And most importantly, don’t let the media trick you into hating anyone who doesn’t look like you. We are all human in spite of our outward differences and there are many things that we can learn from one another.
@@tclass99 Ok, your questioning of this is an indication that your are either aloof, or blatantly ignorant. No apologies, because any attack on Black people is a sensitive issue for me. First, your questioning about my sentiments about Affirmative Action. What is good about the SCOTUS rolling back AA? What is good about that. This nation, despite the preamble of the U.S. Constitution, "All men are created equal", what men? To whom does this statement refer? Obviously, based on historical treatment, Black people have never been considered equal in this country. Black people were never intended to be in the sharing of equal treatment and access in this country. It was intended for us to be kept at the lower bowels of society, economically, academically, socially, regardless of the levels to which we rose as individuals. Affirmative Action, was not created to callously put Blacks in various positions to fill voids. It was made law to ensure those who were most qualified among us were given an equal opportunity to secure employment, access into college, and in any place where Blacks were blatantly denied. You can look to the University of Mississippi, Alabama, and other institutions of learning where Black students had to be escorted by federal troops, so as to dissuade any physical attacks on those students. There are so many other accounts, but you can research that. Also, research the Rooney Rule in the NFL. Further education for you. Second, your opposition to my sentiments on student loans rollback. With over $1.5 trillion in purchasing power/buying power/economic power, Black people in America have the opportunity to influence economic power among Black businesses to help build a strong Black economy. We have a right to build wealth, which we have been denied at every turn of success we achieve (Black Wall Street, Rosewood, Wilmington, etc.) Student loan forgiveness provides us with the opportunity to keep additional cash in hand to purchase homes, save for retirement, and leave generational wealth for our families. It also provides additional disposable income in our hands to spend and drive the economy. However, most important, we have the opportunity to invest and save money for wealth building. Asking someone to pay between $500 - $1,500 a month in student loans, is damaging to the idea of building wealth. That is beyond a mortgage payment, in most cases. These loan repayments are not reasonable and not practical for many who continue to struggle to find a strong footing in the job market, or advance careers, which are suppressed due to systematic racist practices.
We "ARE" teaching our youth financial literacy, entrepreneur skills, and other responsible skills to help build wealth and economic security. However, in this system of racism against Blacks, discrimination continues to be a brick wall in our path to progress. I see other programs being threatened in the future which provides some kind of access for Blacks and minorities, like EOE, certifications for minorities and disadvantaged businesses, and other programs. Whites feel some sort of threat with the rise of Black excellence and exceptionalism, which they had intended to suppress for as long as they could. The Emancipation Proclamation did not mean "freedom" for Blacks in America. No one is passing any blame or trying to get over on any system. It is absurd that you bring this argument to me, which indicates that you are a privileged White or compromised Black, who has bought into white privilege and incites arguments to stand in defense of your White comrades. When Blacks and minorities are accepted as EQUALS in this country, maybe we would not place emphasis on equality programs and policy to meet what is stated in the U.S. Constitution. Then, again, I ask. What men are created equal? All men? Really?
@tclass99 💯 thus guy is brain dead. Like Africa is the be all end all. If that the case why they bringing they azzes to America
Your twice lucky if Africa fails you still got Guyana, how about getting land in Guyana as well?? You country is getting rich fast, if the news media is correct.
Appreciate the conversation
Culture shock, and that divide needs addressing in terms of a cultural awareness program which will help all parties involved.
Another great interview! 👍🏽💪🏾💪🏾👍🏽
You are absolutely correct
Only 30 seconds in and it’s already on fire 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It’s not only America in trouble, the world is in trouble.
The new guy is good. This is a good panel for the topic. Good job.!
Oshay is spot on. You have to keep it moving. You don't have to give a person a reason not to like you. And you'll go crazy trying to figure out why.
This topic isn't unique. It's the same in white 🇺🇸 culture vs the different European countries cultures. Or. The different Latin American countries have their own culture per those countries. They're not all going to vibe. Just look at the different Muslims and ethnic groups within that religion, where they are fighting. The same in the Asian culture. I had this conversation with a Filipino chick. And she'd brought up how different Asian cultures talk about each other or dislike one another.
I think we're more in shock in the Black American culture, because many in our community are under this illusion that, if you are Black. We all should relate and get along. It's under same false narrative that Africa is a country where people are starving. No. Africa is just like Europe and Asia. Very diverse with different cultures. Just as we Black Americans have our own culture. So do the Blacks in the Latin American countries and surrounding islands in the diaspora.
I LIKE THIS collaboration OSHAY🎉
The American black saying...LET YOUR HATERS BE YOUR MOTIVATORS...KEEP MOVING KEEP PUSHING
Oshay 😂 I hate your other channel, but I am utterly shocked that you got another channel and on target every episode! I don’t hate you anymore 😂 and now that I know for sure that you are coming from a genuine and proactive place, I won’t spam the comments on your other channel anymore! 😅 I thought you was a black woman hater but I get it now and this is extraordinary work! Keep up the great work! ❤
Lmfaooo dysfunctional as hell! Glad you came around g!
Thank you, Oshay.
I am discriminated in America and I'm not coming there to be discriminated against in Africa. Africans need to be educated and stop thinking we are like who they see on television.
I could say the same about Black Americans who are, in most cases, ignorant about the African continent, its history, people and cultures. Stop being self-righteous and playing the victim.
@@palesamogorosi8939
I don't feel like a victim. I am 79 yrs old see and experience racism in United States Government laws that are different for them and us. Laws have been passed behind closed doors without the peoples knowledge, and voting to change laws ? Laws benifit the one percent of the elite to control the 99.
And religion is a big part of it.
Excellent episode, Y'all. Very, very insightful.
....Gotta Luv that Joanita too, tho, right?. Quite the Charm. Whooh.
Brother Sherura is a smart man! Bring him back. I feel like he has a lot more to say. He has articulated things that I try to explain to both sides, way better than I would have. As brother Oshay has said, focus on the people who want to build together. Not everyone is going to like you. Africans don't all like each other, just the same way not all African Americans like each other. We all split into "tribal" warfare as soon as one of our own gets hurt or offended. The East Coast and West Coast beef is one example. Brother Shurura mentioned the Rwandan genocide as another. We all need to do better!!
We do everything to please our supervisors for a paycheck , regardless of how they feel about us, but we refuse to go the extra mile for our fellow brothers & sisters . We will continue the crab - in the barrel mentality & the europeans & asians will continue to prosper and rule over us .
@Oshay, Nigerians and Ghanaians actually love each other. We don't hate each other. We just like to compete against and roast each other, just as one would with one's own boys or biological brothers. You can tell cause we don't actually get to throwing hands or anything that could physically injure each other. Instead we trade roast sessions. You can tell by the irrelevance and non-seriousness of the topics being discussed. Even tho we Nigerians have the best Jollof😋🤤🤣
Ghanaians and Nigerians are like brothers who love each other but they fight a lot. When was growing up in Ghana in the 50s and 60s, there were many Nigerians in Ghana. In fact the elementary and high school I attended half of the students were either Yorubas of Ibo. The Nigerians from the North mainly go to the Northern part of Ghana. During the war almost one third of Nigerian population left to Ghana. It was only 1969 when our relationship went bad when Busia's government asked Nigerians to leave. They did the same thing to the Ghanaians in 1986. Now both of them have come to conclusion never to do that again. That is one of the reasons they formed ECOWAS.
That casual sports fan analogy was on point
Wait, Oshay, I’m a longtime Lakers fan(going back to the Magic Johnson days)! It’s all good though, Bro! 😃😃
Excellent video. If we can communicate we can coordinate. Expectations and mutual understanding can be enhanced by videos like this.
You so right
Awesome conversation. Liked n shared
Being stripped of our culture for a lot of us is hard, especially as we return to our motherland.
Who taught you that nonsense? 😂
Start learning about the Geechee and Gullah Wars
Wow my dream is to see all my black sisters and brothers united, I love all my people I know we have different perspectives we definitely need each other. By the way im from SA please more on this conversation. Thank you
Tru talk Oshay. I know Sacramento. I went to UC Davis, with west African engineering students. I was studying medicine. I’m Jamaican, & saw the difficulty my African brothers experienced due their conservative demeanor & attire. The Sacramento locals subconsciously talked down to foreign blacks, as though being American conferred superiority. This was not done consciously, but was by default. I fared better as a Jamaican, but still was stereotyped as being a “violent & crazy Jamaican” weed smoker. This was in the ‘70s & things improved much since then😀
15-17 Agaba is speaking raw, unfltered TRUTH!
Sherura spitting facts
African Americans are a very confused people we honor Egyptians from ten thousand years ago but don't respect their children
The problem with us is that we don't love God or each other like we think,we love those who we think will give us a come up,the Europeans
The hatred of each other shows how we see ourselves
Applauses 👏🏿
Connecting with someone goes way beyond mere physical similarities.
Oshay be spitting facts. Many of our people are SICK AF on all continents. We have to continue to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery! Conversations like this help! This is like a therapy session.
Oshey.. you are ahead of you game right now ..be the time the Diaspora going to wake you going to Own TV stations. Many of them .. the panelists were wonderful.. thanks bro ❤
Helpful discussion. ALso I would like to see Mark of Mark Meets Africa to future discussions on this topic. Mark is doing a good job of understanding and uniting. This Young and intelligent American is building a community called MERGE in Tanzania and he speaks Swahili.
We want to bring him here
You know I never had a desire to go to Africa but the more I watch this type of content it kind of want to visit.
No, stay where you are
@palesamogorosi8939 why would you say that, so you want no one to come to Africa.
@@DerrickWeilDon’t mind him, he’s on a Pan African yt channel spreading the same division this video is talking about
@@DerrickWeilyou're the one who has never had a desire to come here. Blame yourself.
@@palesamogorosi8939 ??? What, that makes no sense, something is wrong with you mentally.
Oshay hit the nail on the head. Why waste energy on people that dont like you. No matter where you go, everybody is not gonna like you , rather you know it or not.
Thanks!
Amazing Podcast!!
Sherura is great for Kenganda‼️📚📖 This is probably the best crew so far. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NEW SET THO 🤨 That’s just for celebs? 🤔🤨🥸 From NYC, love to all. Bless.
😅no
The first thing to understand when trying to understand African-American American Descendants Of Slaves and their culture is. 100% of African-American culture is the result of Pain and Trauma. All of it.
I am trying to get myself together to move to Africa for sure one day
Keep it up brother... Doing good
Many of our people are so simple . We major in minor and minor in major . Nephew Oshay, inform your mom that you didn't have to travel to Uganda for witchcraft. It is practiced in the U.S. as well as other places throughout the world.
Knowledge is power.
To like and love each other is great, however the African, and the African American, together and within their communities, must learn to trust and cooperate with each other in a way that creates change, success, and the necessary societal love that transcends our collective culture types, so that we take our rightful place globally civicly, and economically as progressive humans with something to offer the world, that makes it better, that unites it like only we can.
I love accents. I’m a black woman in the USA. I also respect everyone. It doesn’t matter what country they are from.
Enjoy Life……
Respect yourself…….
Respect Everyone…..
Ethiopians and Somalis look down upon other Africans with "hard hair" and a nose shape that's not "T"
The first guy spoke inteligently
It sad that we aren't even welcome in Africa. Haiti could not even get a membership in the African Union. African also put all black outside of Africa, as African American, not Haitian, Jamaican, Bahamian, or Back American-USA(African American). Everyone of those countries have different cultures, and way of thinking, yes we all have beef with one another, we all think we are better than the other and only Haiti is truly proud of being African descent. Everyone else looks down on Africa, and Africa looks down on every blacks diaspora. I remember the time, when Haitians weren't welcome and discriminated by other blacks and non blacks in the U.S.
Haitians and Jamaicans are among the few Diasporans who truly identify with their African ancestry. At times, one could think they are countries on the continent lol. I love them and it's sad that the AU is ignoring Haiti but I think with more advocacy this should come to pass. I feel you.
One of the main reasons why Haiti is not in AN is that it has a compromised "Vichy" government that would be little more than a proxy vote for their external, Globalist sponsors.
❤❤❤❤
Master Gabs is an intellectual
OShay your the best
Great build !
That first speaker is spot on. There is a socio-cultural disconnect between Africans and African Americans which creates mutual suspicions and reservations on both sides
When I see Africans in Africa - I....FEEL.....SO......HAPPY!!!! I want to come and be there with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soon come.
