Hey fam, your analogy and theory on AA and SA, cultural experiences is what resonates to me. Being in Jozi makes me feel like home, and this is the reason why I'm looking forward to relocating to SA. Being in SA for 2 years is a milestone, especially the things you're doing to bring SA and AA together. Stay blessed and Ubuntu my brother.
Tell your American brothers to stop messing with us. Things get done by Nigerians and they shit on US. The relations between the two will sour soon because of their idiotic nature. Those FBAs are foolish
Born and bred in Gauteng in 70s I know apertheid , when we growup in the 80 , there was heavyweight boxing between Gerrie Coetzee 🇿🇦 and John Tate ( USA) a black American won by TKO ; we celebrate out on the street when a white man was beaten by a black man from USA 🤔
Asad, I've never been to America but when you talk about Louisiana, I immediately think about The Meters and their LP, titled Rejuvenation. That whole LP was a "bang" man in the ?'70s.
You guys are HILARIOUS!!! Please do more of this sense of humor in between kicking knowledge, it makes the video easier to watch and the knowledge more digestible. When you said "when interests converge, there doesn't have to be a overt conspiracy, everybody just plays their role", bro? We could have a long conversation on that one, because it hit home.
Happy Anniversary on 2 years. That time went by so fast, but so glad you’re still rocking with us. You both were sincerely missed, but glad you both are feeling better. I’ll be in those Jozi streets on the 27th and can’t wait!
Keep well Doc in our home continent. I am proud of my South Africa. You don't need to be apologetic. We welcome all our African Americans with our warm hearts. We are blessed to have you and family in our mist. Jozi has never become so popular until you came home.
Awww Feel Better Family ❤ But, you’re still representing ✊🏾Happy JoBurg Anniversary 🎉 Thanks for bringing us along to teach us the truth of our homeland! Showing us there is more to this world 🌎 and we’re in it if we just get out our own way. ❤We Appreciate You & your family!!
Absolutely! As the song goes, “A House is not a home….” Also As an Haitian woman I didn’t know I was Black until I came to the US. So, you’re right in your definition of Blackness as it relates to white supremacy. Best wishes with your book!👏🏽👏🏽💪🏾
African Americans, Afro Brazilians and South Africans have personal experiences of past/present systemic racism and white supremacy. We are all able to have objective and insightful conversations while referencing real events, people, places…
If we've both been through trauma but we choose each other, are we healing each other or peeling off the wound over and over again? Keep on enjoy SA doc y'all are loved in SA
Good morning and congrats on 2 years in SA. Keep being best friends and loving each other. We’ve all been through too much trauma! It feels like it’s never ending. That’s why, for me, going to Africa is so healing and comforting. Although us descendants of slaves are accustomed to the USA trauma, we figured out how to survive. Looking forward to coming home soon.❤ Regarding our youth, I wish that they can all experience the continent.
airbnb is the new school colonisation. "When their interest align, they all play their party". 😭South Africa has great potential for Black solidarity and building a better future. However, some successful Black South Africans and African Americans tend to assimilate into white-dominated spaces rather than reinvesting in predominantly Black communities. While I'm not suggesting everyone must live in townships or start charities, I believe we need to establish clear communication channels and goals for Black empowerment and self-determination. for us by us FUBU.
I never thought about what you're saying until now. But I feel more of a connection due to the infrastructure and the technology that we share with south africa.. I feel like that is what it's going to make it easier for me to adjust being so far away from america
Great topic, and congrats on the upcoming release of your new book. Abigail LucyMary channel did a vlog on the new is rael looking to settle in Cape Town, S.A.
The capexit thing is just not sitting well in my soul but the main problem is our brothers and sisters are unemployed they stressing on how to get the next meal, and I've rumors that department of home affairs has issued out a statement against that movement but we can't wait on the Government to save us
@@asadelmalikphd My husband and I will be back there from November 1-10. Hope you all will be having another Meet-up. I would love to meet you all and other EXPATS. I think it'll help to convince my husband more once he actually meet others who have made the move.
It will also be interesting to see the extension of home concept, and how it bridged the digital divide between generations. Grannies and Granddads now doing more video calling (thanks to Covid isolation). Great quick perspective and may your stay continue to be a bridge between diaspora. Next one (do a quick perspective on the farm situation (murders), but don't let it become a trigger towards hate. They use ( title ) The Law of The Land ( The Law of Ownership over Law of Community). The Law of Self vs Law of Community
@@asadelmalikphd You know last time you brought us to first line of the class on Chichi situation. Thought you've seen news in relation to two ladies murdered on farms, and two gents recently discovered murdered on farms. ( Links up with the gentrification) and land dispossession or land crime. But all this exist in a situation, where the country can Stand Together ( celebrate 30 Years, Springboks and navigating the 'national question' SA racial question dynamics. I've observed how different AA and Black South Africans, navigate the racial question a bit different politically, particularly in the context of November elections. But I guess we all have different level of "trauma" adjustment. Still not certain if its the majority or minority aspect of how we navigate race.

Anyway, new challenge to the two of you, the job is not done till you learn one of the languages ... ''ngi ni nikeza eminye iminyaka emibili ukuthi nifunde''
“Bike lanes and dog walks” 😂😂😂😂 We get you Doc. There is a very good reason even the richest of us sneak off back to the townships to let our hair down and just be. We love to live authentically and organically. Frills and put-on fanciness irritate. And why keep dogs that need to be walked when there is a perfectly self-sufficient dog that is found in every neighbouhood from all of Africa to all of the Caribbeans. (The TikTok world has established that every black country in the world has this (African) dog called Bobby) that never barks at thieves breaking in but knows where all the fun is at in the area.
"They need the police to chase them a little bit! " 😂😂😂 My son was complaining about smoke coming from a veld fire (simple old smoke) and acting like he was about to die. I told him he would have really died during my school days when the Apartheid police used to through teargas cans at us. These people are soft!!🤣🤣
You hit that colonization point Dr Asad! Even if we look at us wanting long straight hair, lip 👄 injections, butt injections, me desiring white woman as trophies 🏆. Where during slavery it was the reverse. Turning is to something we already have culturally into a prize 🏆
Funny fact : South Africans identified so much with black Americans, when they visited other African countries, they would say " We are going to Africa " . It was scary.
Hello you two seems all is well now! Lol 😂 do you mean Stephanie co-founder ExodUS Summit? I adore her 😂 her message is on point! Home is where your heart is! For real!!!1🇿🇦🇺🇸
Holding it down in South Africa for 2 years ain't easy. A house is not a home. New Orleans is bouncing backnfrom Hurricane Francine 🌀category1. Mostly no power. But Hurricane Katrina was a disastrous traumatic calamity. We still healing from it going on 20 years. Whitesupremacy is ongoing in SA and USA to the highest degree. Our Blackness is mainly reactionary just in order to exist.
Dr Asad. I see that you have ditched Polo, and you are now with Nike. I hope you will include a chapter in your book to explain why it took you 400 years to come back home.

When you said "when interests converge, there doesn't have to be a overt conspiracy, everybody just plays their role", bro? We could have a long conversation on that one, because it hit home.
Dr. Arikana of Zimbabwe said at the closing of a speech:
"Remember before you were anything else you were African!"
Run that through your mind! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

“Bike lanes and dog walks” 😂😂😂😂
We get you Doc. There is a very good reason even the richest of us sneak off back to the townships to let our hair down and just be.
