Africans are not even one! Africans are diverse. There are 54 countries in Africa which contains over 3000 different tribes! When you add all of this together you get about 1.3 billion Africans living on the continent. We African Americans are children of our African Ancestors. However, after 400 plus years - we have evolved into our own mind(s) and culture(s). I think it is beautiful... We can certainly learn from one another and support each other.
@@bingbong2697 I believe it's very important that Africans and African Americans Unite and cooperate wherever possible. It's so much we can learn from one another. We must stop killing our own progress and future.
Africans are not even one on the continent so of course Africans are not one with African Americans. And that's not an issue. Doesn't mean that we can't respect each other and work together. Our differences is what makes us unique.
@Tony Brown we are definitely not addressing Asians cause they are totally different in culture. Like I said. Our differences makes us unique. But we still can respect each other and work together.
I agree. I feel as though that we should work with each other to free ourselves from white supremacy, colonialism and imperialism. We must make Africa better.
Hebrew, from Shem Noah’s first born. Ham fathered the African Nation, Japheth fathered the European nations. That’s why we are a lost people, we are the people of the Atlantic slave trade, read Deuteronomy 28 the entire chapter, it tells you all about the ships, bond men, bond women, sold into slavery. This that call African Americans are the people of the original testament. The facts are all there, it’s our I.D. Card, it’s the entire truth.

Why are these jamaicans always trying to claim african americans you lot ain't the same there africans that really look black American it will suprise you there black Americans to that look african
The historian is intelligent. I love her positive and honest contributions. I am from Zambia. Greetings to my African-american/european brothers and sisters!
European? My great great grandfather was 100% Native American. I’m black and Native American. I don’t have European ancestry. This is why I don’t like foreigners.
You see the woman with white shirt she thinks that she was soo special when she was in America she forgot that she was one of them slave but we African we are not slave you guys have no culture in you its always in the books to you it's never in you guys the African culture

I think we're family, but Black Americans are our own distinct ethnic group with our own history, culture, distinct story, unique challenges, and goals within The Diaspora.
Facts!!! As Black Americans we have a very unique identity and shared perspective unlike any other ethnic group. Black Americans and Africans are like long lost family members. Same origin, totally different upbringing and life experiences. We should respectfully acknowledge this and learn how to love rather than spread hate and division unnecessarily
Are you saying black Americans don't hate each other?? Just look at the homicide statistics...it said it all. BTW, there are no African tribes but ethnicities, ok? Love & unity is the key to all divisions created between Africa and her diaspora by Europeans.

I love all my black people. We can embrace our differences while still embracing each other. Something that has added value to my life. I did a dna test to find my roots and traced it back to Cameroon 🇨🇲 and Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶 tied to Bubi, Hausa, Tika and Fulani. We are an extremely diverse strong and beautiful people. We are stronger together than apart. 💖
The historian went right into the heart of the issue! We have never saw ourselves as one! We need to accept that and learn to work with our differences like Asians. They don’t consider themselves all the same and actually take pride in their differences.
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” African American here, and VERY proud of my West African and Bantu roots! Tuko Pamoja!♥️
I say the illiterate of the 21st Century will remain the same as the illiterate of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries...those who DO NOT CONTROL their own educational systems....
Amen. Shout out to African Caribbeans, Luhya, Kenya, Gambia, Esan Nigeria, plus all the other brothers, sisters, cousins from Africa from Ancient Day up to Modern Day Age. Long journey it has been yet still continues. Amen. Love yall Father, Son/Brother, Holy Spirit (dwells in all) Ancestors. Amen.
As a a African American I view myself as someone who has been snatched away and stripped of what was suppose to be called home and I all ive wanted really was to be welcomed back with open arms 🤝
I’d recommend to please start with a African Ancestry DNA test. It can trace back your tribe on your mother’s side and/or fathers side(if you have a male to test for you on your fathers side). 💕
@Proud Mary I know my mother’s lineage tribe The Tikar of Cameroon, the women holed there selves in their huts and burned the huts down. They didn’t want to go with the enslavers. It was so sad to read that but of information. The people that did go were mostly women. Most of the men committed suicide. That’s why within the African Ancestry testing community, it’s a lot of Tikar of Cameroon results. Brought tears to my eyes. I hope to do my fathers side soon.
You will never feel the same because you were brought up with different values on a different continent. However, your children will feel the same as those in Ghana because they will grow up together. Differences are everywhere even among Ghanaians themselves.
I agree with everything that the historian lady said. We are different by Tribes but when we deal with outsiders (EU, USA, etc) we must tire as ONE, this is very important. I love you sistes and thanks for this discussion!!!
yeah too many blacks in America are Xenophobic, which makes no sense because we face the same racism when we walk outside our front doors. The next racist person u bump into doesn't know/care if you're from the LA, Africa, Carribean, etc.
@@555125kevin Yes, some Black Americans are xenophobic and u are correct in saying racist people see all of us as Black and it makes no difference in whether we are from America, Africa, Europe(Black Brits)or the Caribbean. But I would like to interject this tidbit of info, equally sad is there are some Africans who refer to us Blacks in the diaspora as "akata" which is a derogatory term from Nigeria (my lineage) which means cat. In this context many Nigerians have told me it means a stray cat that has no home, referring to us diasporians who lost our history, language and culture when our ancestors were taken from the Motherland. Obviously, we had no control over losing those things, but we have proudly built a strong African American culture and many of us have reconnected to our roots and are coming home to visit or stay. I just left Gambia after a month long stay in June, planning to visit Naija for a month in June 2022!
@@OriginalGaPeach sure there have been some Nigerians that referred to diasporas here as Akata(which is disgraceful to do), we both know more black Americans look down on Africans than there are Nigerians going around saying Akata. Great you've been to Gambia & have a interest for Africa (u obviously know u have a connection to Africa).
Strength In Unity. Divided We Fall. We all come from the One Infinite Creator and should be Compassionate to one another, regardless of our differences in the Diaspora. 💯
True , I agree and also the scriptures says that the Egyptians and Ethiopian, is like his people the children of Israel, the black Hebrews, and in the latter days, that all them, and some of the other African people will raise their hands to God

From Africa Kenya with love and i love this conversation that this wonderful sisters are having. Its true that Africa is still under some colonial hangover. However for Africa to grow especially economically and politically we all need one another's wisdom, knowledge, creativity, innovation, spiritual guidance from both home and abroad. When you are outside you can not see it but the continent is building and its happening at a very fast rate. Arabs, Europeans, Asians, and Americans both North and south see this and Africans abroad should too. When we are still having the discussion of whether we are one or not, young generation of Africans are driving this continent and they are one. Despite our deferences and challanges Africa is on the rise and it wont be long. One Love
As as African born in America I went to South Africa and our people are so welcoming and feel we are one. I didn’t feel any of this negativity there. They said bring more of our ppl back. 🇿🇦😁💯
Most don't do that, though. They all speak about "we're one people", but 99% of the black people chose to stay in the Western countries, because they know which societies are the best for better chances. Also, there are thousands and thousands moving weekly to Europe. Why? For the same reason: better chances in the West. It's popular to say to all be one, but most of them don't walk the talk. They don't even go to Africa on a holiday to check things out for themselves.
Beautiful dialogue and honest from their standpoint. There's a lot that is hardly said for the sake of getting along. It's the uncivil conversation that expresses the real issues we sometimes have with each other. But the civil conversation gives us a chance to see how alike we can be.
We don't have to become a 100% homogeneous monolith or lose variety in order to cooperate more and ACT as one solid block. I'm talking about unity in PURPOSE for collective progress.
@@WonderWoman-so4mk I co-sign. Many groups, like Asians, have many different cultures and languages but they work as a collective and do very well. You don’t hear conflicts between Asians and Asian-Americans. They are very successful together.
Bravo to these ladies for putting together this long overdue and important convo. I thought it was especially telling of how we view relationships in the diaspora when the discussion shifted to marriage and they all subtly suggested that Africa is backwards for still having traditional family structures. I also loved when the historian sister extrapolated on how the process of colonialism permanently changed our psyche and culture for those of us who were taken. I don't think a lot of us realize just how much the last 400 years really changed us.
@@williebriscoe2400 I see where you're coming from but it's important that we're realistic about our similarities and our differences. If we can speak honestly and openly about these things, we can improve our respective cultures by picking and choosing from who's ways work better. Even as a Foundational African American, I believe wholeheartedly that traditional African family structures are superior for community building and cohesion than what we've developed in the States and that's something we can relearn from our people on the continent.

I have watched quite a few programs but this is by far the most intellectual & informative conversation of queens from diverse backgrounds. At times, i just wanted to watch for moment & go unto something else, but i just couldn't do that. The conversation was so rich & informative it kept me glued to it.
OMG the historian! I love her 😍☺️ an amazing historian, crazy in America they’re trying to take away teaching slavery, civil rights and all that history from the education system. WOW.
"They are scared that the people will turn on them, their kids ect.. because they know they are some within the high up in America that is still doing modern day things still?
I love her, too. I think black people should focus on history, philosophy and a bigger range of expression. I think that will aid us as a people a lot.
In America they would not be able to "take away" teaching the history of black Americans, IF BLACK AMERICANS WERE INTERESTED. I KNOW FOR A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FACT, IF YOU ARE BLACK IN AMERICA AND TALK ABOUT BLACK HISTORY ETC. YOU WILL NOT HAVE MANY FRIENDS. Black Americans want to integrate i.e. disappear into whiteness. Black Americans are prepared to wait light years for the DREAM to come true, the dream being that one day like magic, white will suddenly change OF THEIR OWN VOLITION and by decree make everybody equal.
the whole world knows the beauty of African women and thats why they want to enslave them .Beauty can sometimes be a burden for everyone wants one of those beautiful African women
All women are human. It depends what human is your Partner. Africa and America Women are all the same humans. It is finding the right Human for you. you don't understand this then you are lost. No big debate. Very simple. Get used to it.
Black American here and proud of my West African Roots. We Diaspora Africans are blessed to have whatever our African Ancestors were able to secretly keep once forced into slavery. Without the ideas of Africa, we are nothing. We have evolved as a people from food to dance. Cultures may be different, but we still have our African Roots. Period! Love the video!
This was a much needed, over due conversation GLOBALLY. Thank you, now time to continue. I will share with current African students in America college graduates, American who love AFRICA 🤗 and encourage ongoing conversation, support of your projects & hope we can build partnerships GLOBALLY with each other. You're all very beautiful inside and out and I'm proud of you all. US Ohio
Because you have no power as your own. Africa is being bought up by china while Europe currently owns it. You have your culture while the majority of your own people lives in poverty.
What an amazing video. This was a great and very informative conversation. I’ve been to Guinea and I am aligned with a lot of your perspectives. I hope you do more of these! I think on the next video you can delve deeper into the specifics of how someone who does not know a Ghanaian and has never been to Ghana can take steps to introduce themselves and feel welcomed.
This is hands down one of the best conversations on this subject. The historian has hit on every point I’ve made to associates of mine. Work WITH Ghanaians…. Don’t exploit, partner with the locals to help produce a stronger middle class, and respect differences!!!
I enjoyed the interview and different perspectives that shared a commonality and even saw a slight glimpse of hope...then, I came to the comment section and the vaseilne and boxing gloves had to come on again. lol I am sure some are trolls, however....hopefully.
It is funny how when these topics are brought up, afro caribbean and afro south americans are not brought up. It speaks volume on how oppressed our experience is.
It's because you all have more afracanisms and like to believe yall are closer to Africa than us... the big beef is between africans and African Americans because our cultures are polar opposite.

I loved this conversation because these are the conversations that my family have at our table forever. There are many African Americans whose families have passed down who our ancestor from slavery was. I am one of those people. As much as you hear about African Americans not knowing there are those of us who have maintained the traditions it's just that we forgot overtime where we came from and language. Humans are made to forget and we learn and remember through repetition. Truth as it should be told so that we really begin to make the bridge stronger! Bravo ladies!!!

@@malachiyahyisrael3187 Thank you for your reply. I must say respectfully that I've done my own research and have traveled to parts of the world and learned many things. So maybe it is me who can show and tell you a few things. As far as my stance about the Hebrews being black is that they were a past civilization. We have evolved far beyond what they did then. We discover we are Hebrews then what brother? We just sit around saying how we are Hebrews? Those descendant of the Ashkenazi seem to be the only ones benefitting from such. They don't talk about being Hebrews they straight up tell you they are Jewish. Being Hebrew and being Jewish is not one in the same. My understanding of who I am and my lineage is very intact and I won't call upon a people that to me does not exist in this day and age. The creator made us with the ability to evolve. How many great civilizations and people have come and gone? I appreciate your words but I'm beyond what you are talking about brother. Peace!
The most amazing part about this conversation is not only the unique, true and honest perspectives each of the women bring, but their high sense of social responsibility, and investment initiatives are just powerful! It is normally easier to talk, what is more honorable is to make a difference! These women are champions! Thanks for sharing your stories...
Love this video, this needs to be known to the world, cultures are different, you cannot say we are one in the same when history is diffrent, even if we all look the same.
this is not divisiveness. it is know your self. what makes one "black" or "brown" if you I showed some two peoples hands one "black" and the other "brown" but did not show you shoulders and up would you know the difference? Many are of "African ancestry" but that does not make one "African". There is language, subtle "cultural' nuisance, mannerisms, thought, personal relationships with family, work, school, marriage, divorce, etc, understand sayings which are not literally translated. what respect can mean for a women or man... there is who you must respect such as your elder sister even if you are the guy.. or they older brother.. there is some much to being from place "A" or place "B". As a young child my grand mother would not give me soup she made because it contained meat my by father's people did not eat. she said "your" people do not eat this" yet I was of blood. That is respect. Though I was disappointed I came to understand. Yet all was Ghanaian. in Italy the Sicilian does not say they are from Milan or are from Veneto... in fact they will be very upset if one mistakes them for some from Veneto... however they are still Italian. "African" Americans... are Americans. Do not think of yourself as the other. Love where you from and you can adopt another country and love it, get to know it but when or it is said you are not from there do not get upset. its the truth. since where we are born, live, raised and nurtured also shapes us in so many ways. this is why no matter where you go in the world even if you the same the natives know you are not from there. The opportunity was for many reasons but not because one said you are not African. This is a brilliant discussion too bad it cannot be drilled down further. This could be a master class which can be discussed for 12 months with ease. Maybe it should. Thank you for the beginning of an intellectual discussion.
Wooow how i wish the british historian lady use some of the amount of her knowledge to educate most of us africans on some kind of a platform. I also love the black american woman,her humbleness Infact you were all on point in your ideas. I loved this conversation overall.
I really loved and enjoyed the conversation with these ladies. Very interesting and inspiring which is one of the reasons why I'm considering moving to Ghana.
Is not supposed to be impressive to you.. because the reality about black woman is that she is a Queens, a Warrior, a noble and the Mather of all civilization.. believe it or not.

It is possible most "Black Americans are not African, when it was black Americans in America way before the so called Natives? Evidently African cam to America generations ago, before the Natives and Europeans? Most Natives, were originally Black and brown people, some natives that are light complexion came from the lands of Siberia, and why they don't say this, do they not know were their ancestors originally came from? or do they not speak on it because the white man set them up to look as if they were here first? or to get the money that was giving to them, while most black people didn't even get any lands, or money for the crimes that was done to them and their people!
@@desireawinton9745 what you speak of is a minority of minorities, with in the larger black minority. Aboriginals married in with the natives and the black population. Its likely to be percentage traces with in our DNA but not a majority. Think of the Neanderthal DNA in Europeans being only 2% of their genetics. Similar situation here but likely less then even that.
If we spend more or as much time talking about solution and actually implement that solution, one issue at a time, we will be in a much better place. We have spent enough time discussing the issues, now it is time to move forward. We can’t change history but we can make sure it never happens again.

We are leaving out so much of the other diaspora in this conversation. There are many others of the Trans-Atlantic Diaspora that experienced the same as a Black Americans. I would love to see interviews/conversations with Brazilians, Scotians, Central/South Americans and Caribbean. I would love to hear the stories from other TA Diaspora and how they fit into Pan-Africanism and if it’s even a thought. Are they also moving back to the continent as well? Black American here 👋🏾.
@Bridgette. The "Year of Return" was ONLY MARKETED to Black Americans but Why❓........I know Endless Africans that live in America and the overwhelming majority say I'll never go back to Africa.......Pan-Africanism is a Failed ideology.......Why leave America when it's Millions of Africans Fleeing Africa to come to America❓
Yes, I agree!!! This was a great conversation, but if it's not a series, there definitely needs to be conversations with other African and diasporan groups.
We are one people, whether we accept each other or not. It's sad that we dont even understand who we are. We have been divided due to our past enslavement, but the African Diaspora is beginning to return to the African Continent. Africans you must welcome us back.
@@jonez2020 Explain how were not one people, I'm waiting for your explanation. We are only culturally different, due to enslavement of Africans in the Americas and the Carribean, but were still the same people of African origin. All of us need to understand this and stop with this nonsense.
@@iloveyou281000 We're not one people because Africa is filled with thousands of ethnic groups with their own distinct history, ancestry, language, DNA, customs, phenotypes, etc. This idea of of us being one people because we are black is a very American idea. They don't relate to each by skin color. Why should they? British people don't identify with Italians or Spaniards just cause they are white.
Guys well done. Its really great seeing serious women, intelligent, respectful, entrepreneurial, & funny, having real thought breaking conversations. Im African living in Canada & 27. These days theres alot of garbage on the internet. Im subscribed, and learning!
Ms Dentaa, please can you have these powerful ladies come back for a part two,the conversation is not complete,what a blessing to hear this episode,I’m waiting for part two please,thanks for the wealth of immense information.
Africans are not even one! Africans are diverse. There are 54 countries in Africa which contains over 3000 different tribes! When you add all of this together you get about 1.3 billion Africans living on the continent. We African Americans are children of our African Ancestors. However, after 400 plus years - we have evolved into our own mind(s) and culture(s).
I think it is beautiful... We can certainly learn from one another and support each other.
*55 countries.
That shall be United stupidity
@@porschenator Over time - even more countries, with varying cultures may come into existence. This is my whole point. Africa is powerfully diverse.
@@bingbong2697 I believe it's very important that Africans and African Americans Unite and cooperate wherever possible. It's so much we can learn from one another.
We must stop killing our own progress and future.
@@kachebeeabdullah4297 fair enough indeed.
Africans are not even one on the continent so of course Africans are not one with African Americans. And that's not an issue. Doesn't mean that we can't respect each other and work together. Our differences is what makes us unique.
Bingo you nailed it ...we need to continue sending the message to all black peoples...Bottom line to be African is to be black.
@Tony Brown we are definitely not addressing Asians cause they are totally different in culture. Like I said. Our differences makes us unique. But we still can respect each other and work together.
I agree. I feel as though that we should work with each other to free ourselves from white supremacy, colonialism and imperialism. We must make Africa better.
Beautifully said!
Same with non American black ppl
Thank you it's not a monolithic race.

As a a African American I view myself as someone who has been snatched away and stripped of what was suppose to be called home and I all ive wanted really was to be welcomed back with open arms 🤝
@Massambula2 mass I just got looked up and down before and generalized with something stereotypical
@Proud Mary, Sorry that happened to you, happens to me too and i'm of Nigerian heritage born and raised in the west.
We weren’t welcomed back, they never even attempted to rescue our ancestors…it’s really sad
I’d recommend to please start with a African Ancestry DNA test. It can trace back your tribe on your mother’s side and/or fathers side(if you have a male to test for you on your fathers side). 💕
@Proud Mary I know my mother’s lineage tribe The Tikar of Cameroon, the women holed there selves in their huts and burned the huts down. They didn’t want to go with the enslavers.
It was so sad to read that but of information. The people that did go were mostly women. Most of the men committed suicide. That’s why within the African Ancestry testing community, it’s a lot of Tikar of Cameroon results.
Brought tears to my eyes. I hope to do my fathers side soon.
You will never feel the same because you were brought up with different values on a different continent. However, your children will feel the same as those in Ghana because they will grow up together. Differences are everywhere even among Ghanaians themselves.
🇳🇬 I agree with you
I agree with everything that the historian lady said. We are different by Tribes but when we deal with outsiders (EU, USA, etc) we must tire as ONE, this is very important. I love you sistes and thanks for this discussion!!!
Do u see Blacks in the diaspora as OUTSIDERS
yeah too many blacks in America are Xenophobic, which makes no sense because we face the same racism when we walk outside our front doors. The next racist person u bump into doesn't know/care if you're from the LA, Africa, Carribean, etc.
@@555125kevin Yes, some Black Americans are xenophobic and u are correct in saying racist people see all of us as Black and it makes no difference in whether we are from America, Africa, Europe(Black Brits)or the Caribbean. But I would like to interject this tidbit of info, equally sad is there are some Africans who refer to us Blacks in the diaspora as "akata" which is a derogatory term from Nigeria (my lineage) which means cat. In this context many Nigerians have told me it means a stray cat that has no home, referring to us diasporians who lost our history, language and culture when our ancestors were taken from the Motherland. Obviously, we had no control over losing those things, but we have proudly built a strong African American culture and many of us have reconnected to our roots and are coming home to visit or stay. I just left Gambia after a month long stay in June, planning to visit Naija for a month in June 2022!
True talk thanks
@@OriginalGaPeach sure there have been some Nigerians that referred to diasporas here as Akata(which is disgraceful to do), we both know more black Americans look down on Africans than there are Nigerians going around saying Akata.

Do native africans treat us africans who were enslaved the same as they treat other native africans or are we looked down upon?
From Africa Kenya with love and i love this conversation that this wonderful sisters are having. Its true that Africa is still under some colonial hangover. However for Africa to grow especially economically and politically we all need one another's wisdom, knowledge, creativity, innovation, spiritual guidance from both home and abroad. When you are outside you can not see it but the continent is building and its happening at a very fast rate. Arabs, Europeans, Asians, and Americans both North and south see this and Africans abroad should too. When we are still having the discussion of whether we are one or not, young generation of Africans are driving this continent and they are one. Despite our deferences and challanges Africa is on the rise and it wont be long. One Love
As as African born in America I went to South Africa and our people are so welcoming and feel we are one. I didn’t feel any of this negativity there. They said bring more of our ppl back. 🇿🇦😁💯
Are you sure you are in S.A. the country that stones people from the neighbouring countries. The xenophobic country
south Africans are not your people but west Africans and central Africans the victims of transatlantic slave trade
Most don't do that, though. They all speak about "we're one people", but 99% of the black people chose to stay in the Western countries, because they know which societies are the best for better chances.
Also, there are thousands and thousands moving weekly to Europe. Why? For the same reason: better chances in the West.
It's popular to say to all be one, but most of them don't walk the talk. They don't even go to Africa on a holiday to check things out for themselves.

Bravo to these ladies for putting together this long overdue and important convo.

I also loved when the historian sister extrapolated on how the process of colonialism permanently changed our psyche and culture for those of us who were taken. I don't think a lot of us realize just how much the last 400 years really changed us.
Focus on similarities not diffrences
@@williebriscoe2400 I see where you're coming from but it's important that we're realistic about our similarities and our differences. If we can speak honestly and openly about these things, we can improve our respective cultures by picking and choosing from who's ways work better.

OMG the historian! I love her 😍☺️ an amazing historian, crazy in America they’re trying to take away teaching slavery, civil rights and all that history from the education system. WOW.
she on point

I love her, too. I think black people should focus on history, philosophy and a bigger range of expression. I think that will aid us as a people a lot.
In America they would not be able to "take away" teaching the history of black Americans, IF BLACK AMERICANS WERE INTERESTED. I KNOW FOR A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FACT, IF YOU ARE BLACK IN AMERICA AND TALK ABOUT BLACK HISTORY ETC. YOU WILL NOT HAVE MANY FRIENDS. Black Americans want to integrate i.e. disappear into whiteness. Black Americans are prepared to wait light years for the DREAM to come true, the dream being that one day like magic, white will suddenly change OF THEIR OWN VOLITION and by decree make everybody equal.

This is hands down one of the best conversations on this subject. The historian has hit on every point I’ve made to associates of mine. Work WITH Ghanaians…. Don’t exploit, partner with the locals to help produce a stronger middle class, and respect differences!!!
Such a beautiful dialogue between sisters💜. I love the way Dentaa allows her guest to speak without interruption. I love this channel!
I enjoyed the interview and different perspectives that shared a commonality and even saw a slight glimpse of hope...then, I came to the comment section and the vaseilne and boxing gloves had to come on again. lol I am sure some are trolls, however....hopefully.
This was amazing. Thank you so much for showing this conversation. I gained so many insights
Loved this segment! It inspired me greatly. Thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is funny how when these topics are brought up, afro caribbean and afro south americans are not brought up. It speaks volume on how oppressed our experience is.
@Clayton Phillips yes cental america too. They make these things and forget that we exist. Our stories are just as important.
It's because you all have more afracanisms and like to believe yall are closer to Africa than us... the big beef is between africans and African Americans because our cultures are polar opposite.
@@raijongriggs2031 no we don't you are those people that think that jamaica is the only caribbean country.
@@empress1306 I'm from south Florida and am surrounded by more carribean people than black americans. I know what I'm talking about lol. Im very familiar with the west indies. You shouldn't assume because I'm american.
To be honest a lot of afro south Americans don't even claim black.
This interview was so thought provoking stimulating and inspiring. The wealth of knowledge on that table is priceless. #selenacarty dope as always 👏🏾👏🏾.
I loved this conversation because these are the conversations that my family have at our table forever. There are many African Americans whose families have passed down who our ancestor from slavery was. I am one of those people. As much as you hear about African Americans not knowing there are those of us who have maintained the traditions it's just that we forgot overtime where we came from and language. Humans are made to forget and we learn and remember through repetition. Truth as it should be told so that we really begin to make the bridge stronger! Bravo ladies!!!
No, we didn't forget. That's why we were sold so we COULDN'T pass none of that down.
Hebrew, from Shem Noah’s first born. Ham fathered the African Nation, Japheth fathered the European nations. That’s why we are a lost people, we are the people of the Atlantic slave trade, read Deuteronomy 28 the entire chapter, it tells you all about the ships, bond men, bond women, sold into slavery. This that call African Americans are the people of the original testament. The facts are all there, it’s our I.D. Card, it’s the entire truth. Research it for yourself, you don’t have to believe me!!!!!
@@rancidbutter9669 Maybe for you and your family history. I spoke for myself and many others that I know that maintained some of the knowledge. The Gullah people are a prime example of a people that had maintained the history and culture and passed if down.
@@malachiyahyisrael3187 Thank you for your reply. I must say respectfully that I've done my own research and have traveled to parts of the world and learned many things. So maybe it is me who can show and tell you a few things. As far as my stance about the Hebrews being black is that they were a past civilization. We have evolved far beyond what they did then. We discover we are Hebrews then what brother? We just sit around saying how we are Hebrews? Those descendant of the Ashkenazi seem to be the only ones benefitting from such. They don't talk about being Hebrews they straight up tell you they are Jewish. Being Hebrew and being Jewish is not one in the same. My understanding of who I am and my lineage is very intact and I won't call upon a people that to me does not exist in this day and age. The creator made us with the ability to evolve. How many great civilizations and people have come and gone? I appreciate your words but I'm beyond what you are talking about brother. Peace!
The most amazing part about this conversation is not only the unique, true and honest perspectives each of the women bring, but their high sense of social responsibility, and investment initiatives are just powerful! It is normally easier to talk, what is more honorable is to make a difference! These women are champions! Thanks for sharing your stories...
Love this video, this needs to be known to the world, cultures are different, you cannot say we are one in the same when history is diffrent, even if we all look the same.
This kind of divisiveness that allowed our oppressors the opportunity to conquered our ancestors....
They take advantage from your flaws
100%
👌
this is not divisiveness. it is know your self. what makes one "black" or "brown" if you I showed some two peoples hands one "black" and the other "brown" but did not show you shoulders and up would you know the difference? Many are of "African ancestry" but that does not make one "African". There is language, subtle "cultural' nuisance, mannerisms, thought, personal relationships with family, work, school, marriage, divorce, etc, understand sayings which are not literally translated. what respect can mean for a women or man... there is who you must respect such as your elder sister even if you are the guy.. or they older brother.. there is some much to being from place "A" or place "B". As a young child my grand mother would not give me soup she made because it contained meat my by father's people did not eat. she said "your" people do not eat this" yet I was of blood. That is respect. Though I was disappointed I came to understand. Yet all was Ghanaian. in Italy the Sicilian does not say they are from Milan or are from Veneto... in fact they will be very upset if one mistakes them for some from Veneto... however they are still Italian. "African" Americans... are Americans. Do not think of yourself as the other. Love where you from and you can adopt another country and love it, get to know it but when or it is said you are not from there do not get upset. its the truth. since where we are born, live, raised and nurtured also shapes us in so many ways. this is why no matter where you go in the world even if you the same the natives know you are not from there. The opportunity was for many reasons but not because one said you are not African.
This is a brilliant discussion too bad it cannot be drilled down further. This could be a master class which can be discussed for 12 months with ease. Maybe it should. Thank you for the beginning of an intellectual discussion.
@@KOFIV77what? I have no idea what you're talking about
Wooow how i wish the british historian lady use some of the amount of her knowledge to educate most of us africans on some kind of a platform. I also love the black american woman,her humbleness Infact you were all on point in your ideas. I loved this conversation overall.
I really loved and enjoyed the conversation with these ladies. Very interesting and inspiring which is one of the reasons why I'm considering moving to Ghana.
I really enjoyed and learned a great deal watching this, thank you.
This is one of the most honest conversations I've seen, and to see black women discussing this matter is extremely impressive to me!
Is not supposed to be impressive
to you.. because the reality about black woman is that she is a Queens, a Warrior, a noble and the Mather of all civilization.. believe it or not.
@raveoni926 There are Africans in America as well. There is Diaspora and Contintental Africans. Pieces of the same puzzle. It would be amazing for all Africans home and abroad uplifted the Africam women for all they have done to birth us, nourish us, protect us throughout our generations joy and pain.
@@kickrocks71 what on earth are you talking about?
@@PMMM7 Please elaborate your confusion.
@@kickrocks71 “Africans” that are in the world, know exactly where they come from. Look at Obama, but African Americans have zero clue about their homeland. What’s confusing about that?
I am from Ivory Coast and living to the UK and I absolutely loved watching you ladies. Thanks for this video, love you all xx
Wow! I'm blown away st the amount of knowledge shared in this video. This is the most informative, thought provoking, interesting conversation I have watched on CZcams in years. As an african who came to America at a young age who is almost 40, I can so relate to Vanessa. So many times I have felt excluded, and disconnected because iam viewed as an "american". I feel so impowered today. Thank you ladies. 😍😍🇿🇲
Thank you
Such an awesome and necessary conversation. Thank you my amazing African sisters.
This is so insightful. As a Nigerian,I've really learnt a lot♥️
Damn! The lady with dreadlocks is solid, beautiful, and knowledgeable. She articulates her ideas so well..No wonder no man can match her at 48. Because some men fear such brilliant minds...
She was chatting a sh*t, probably you not familiar with this topics.
Lol stop the 🧢
Huh?!
@@brianbouf8303 then tell us Mr.Know it all.
This was great. I truly enjoyed this show. Thank You Ladies.
Great discussion ladies! Thank you!
I am from Africa and i.love my African American people. Like everywhere in the world you have good and bad people but they are near to me
Really enjoyed the conversation it was like the view meets Ghana. Great content!
I stumbled across this video & was completely taken within mins. It's so insightful!
This video was everything man! It’s dope to sistas from all over the diaspora come together to have a conversation that touched on so many important idea/concepts about the status quo for African/Black people all over the globe. Everyone had a unique perspective but I tip my hat to that lady in the Blue outfit. Her and the sista that worked in IT dropped so many gems it was crazy!! This the type of content I’m here for!!! Black unity✊🏿
The interview I’ve been waiting for 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I am an a Pan Africanist man in America and I found this to be a very insightful interview. Shout out to my sisters!
Am a Pan Africanist too.
It is possible most "Black Americans are not African, when it was black Americans in America way before the so called Natives? Evidently African cam to America generations ago, before the Natives and Europeans? Most Natives, were originally Black and brown people, some natives that are light complexion came from the lands of Siberia, and why they don't say this, do they not know were their ancestors originally came from? or do they not speak on it because the white man set them up to look as if they were here first? or to get the money that was giving to them, while most black people didn't even get any lands, or money for the crimes that was done to them and their people!
@@desireawinton9745 Their DNA results say otherwise. Africans arrived to the Americas with the Europeans.
@@fredrickpoggi5493 Yes the enslave Africans, I'm talking about the aboriginal people! What are you trying to say?"
@@desireawinton9745 what you speak of is a minority of minorities, with in the larger black minority. Aboriginals married in with the natives and the black population. Its likely to be percentage traces with in our DNA but not a majority. Think of the Neanderthal DNA in Europeans being only 2% of their genetics. Similar situation here but likely less then even that.
Ladies amazing discussion.can’t wait to come back home. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you ladies for sharing your experience,s and knowledge
If we spend more or as much time talking about solution and actually implement that solution, one issue at a time, we will be in a much better place.
We have spent enough time discussing the issues, now it is time to move forward. We can’t change history but we can make sure it never happens again.

Good convo. We need to teach and be proud of our culture. Thanks ladies.
Laaaaaawd, when the historian said "they will never teach you what they have done to you for you to learn to undo it!" My Gooood! It hit hard!
THE WORLD TREATS ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR THE SAME . THATS WHY WE ALL NEED TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE PEOPLE AND STOP THIS SEPARATION.
Great conversation with wonderful people. Wow awesome 👏
Wow black women seem’s to be setting the pace for black excellence. I mean just look this amazing and very intelligent women on this panel. This right here gives me hope for the future.well done odana you doing a great job ♥️🔥❤️❤️🔥♥️👍🏾🙏🏾
They are always excellent but we have fo*Lish ones who only on IG and TikTok
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you should see the rest 99% think. MOST have kids without husbands...most have multiple without partners
@@kwamebushman606 no actual I think you are referring to white women
Wow what a great discussion and thank you beautiful ladies for this!
You are an amazing interviewer!! I really enjoyed this and learned a lot.
The question is nonessential, we are one but with different cultures, in our collective DNA proves this.
Africa is a continent with 54 country and your DNA is not all over Africa but it probably be one or three African country so we're not one!
The same with all other races.
Exactly
@@316JOHNLT Precisely. I hate these dumb ass politically correct "woke" generalizations. The stuff that sounds good but doesnt really mean or accomplish anything. Just empty verbiage to placate one's emotions.
@@316JOHNLT That’s nice but who created those 54 land designations. It was not black people who sat at the Geneva conference and decided. We love to focus so much on our uniqueness but a lot of times we forget how necessary appreciating our oneness is to survival and progress to a better future. History shows how easy it was for tribes to be turned against each other... this is why conversations like these are sometimes slightly divisive....too much separation is not always a good thing
Great inspirational conversation from four beautiful sisters; I enjoyed it.
This is amazing ladies!!! Thanks y'all 👍
i love the content discussed today,im going to subscribe
I love how our Sister tied in the history which affects much of our interactions with each other.
She was brilliant

The AA women really carried this discussion. She had some really great insights.
Riiiight. They weren't clowning her the _entire_ video at all.🙄
Yeah she was great. Very mature. But that historian carried the convo
I think due to our history that African Americans just have the strongest Panafrican leanings on average. We all became one tribe when we got off those ships
@@eljay4k fact
@@mitch3902 the thing is no matter how much you hate it you’re african American
Why? Because thats your ethnicity
So it doesn’t matter how you feel you are indeed the ethnicity of african American
Yes! I agree with you young lady when you say, "Change is good"🙂👏🏾
I really enjoyed watching and listening to the different point of views👏🏾👏🏾
I very much enjoyed this conversation! I can't wait to visit and move to the continent.
l enjoyed this conversation. Very thought provoking. Wow nice
Absolutely enjoyed this conversation!
Love it ladies, especially the history.
Jambo from Kenya 🇰🇪
Much love from eastern coast of Africa.
We are leaving out so much of the other diaspora in this conversation. There are many others of the Trans-Atlantic Diaspora that experienced the same as a Black Americans. I would love to see interviews/conversations with Brazilians, Scotians, Central/South Americans and Caribbean. I would love to hear the stories from other TA Diaspora and how they fit into Pan-Africanism and if it’s even a thought. Are they also moving back to the continent as well? Black American here 👋🏾.
They are all involved and are moving there too. Many have been there for years.
They were also very active in the year of reture.
Hood point
Good point
@Bridgette. The "Year of Return" was ONLY MARKETED to Black Americans but Why❓........I know Endless Africans that live in America and the overwhelming majority say I'll never go back to Africa.......Pan-Africanism is a Failed ideology.......Why leave America when it's Millions of Africans Fleeing Africa to come to America❓
Yes, I agree!!! This was a great conversation, but if it's not a series, there definitely needs to be conversations with other African and diasporan groups.
We are one people, whether we accept each other or not. It's sad that we dont even understand who we are. We have been divided due to our past enslavement, but the African Diaspora is beginning to return to the African Continent. Africans you must welcome us back.
No..we are not one people!
@@jonez2020 what makes you think we're different? Smh! We are the same people but it is history that differ us.
@@jonez2020 Explain how were not one people, I'm waiting for your explanation. We are only culturally different, due to enslavement of Africans in the Americas and the Carribean, but were still the same people of African origin. All of us need to understand this and stop with this nonsense.
You are welcome @Antonio. Those of us who are educated know that we are all brothers and sisters.
You are very welcome back home in Ghana 🇬🇭
@@iloveyou281000 We're not one people because Africa is filled with thousands of ethnic groups with their own distinct history, ancestry, language, DNA, customs, phenotypes, etc. This idea of of us being one people because we are black is a very American idea. They don't relate to each by skin color. Why should they? British people don't identify with Italians or Spaniards just cause they are white.
Guys well done. Its really great seeing serious women, intelligent, respectful, entrepreneurial, & funny, having real thought breaking conversations.
Im African living in Canada & 27. These days theres alot of garbage on the internet.
Im subscribed, and learning!
Great topic. I could talk about this forever. Thank u!
Thanks for the conversation. We dont need to be One we need to be UNITED instead. Unity will make Continent greater.
Best comment on this thread.
Ms Dentaa, please can you have these powerful ladies come back for a part two,the conversation is not complete,what a blessing to hear this episode,I’m waiting for part two please,thanks for the wealth of immense information.
Same, I want more
