No they’re not. Yal just traumatized by Hollywood and elementary history class. Now you think anybody that serves anybody is Django and 12 years a slave. Slavery in America wasn’t brutal until after the Barbary Wars in the early 1800s when our last strongholds were defeated
In Nigeria they’re called ọmọ-ọ̀dọ̀ and it’s not slavery. Is it classism - 💯. But not slavery. In biblical terms, they were called handmaids and servants, in modern terms theirs called house helps that are paid. It’s more comparable to lifestyle in the movie «The Help». I get what he is saying. Coming with an income from the U.S. and having help cater to your every whim is awkward as if master slave. He said nothing wrong. I am upper class African, I have always found it very colonial in the sense of elitism. But on the other hand, they are not enough jobs provided in Africa so sometimes this is the only means to an end for many people. As an individual, you cannot save the world, but you have to live within the system that’s provided. The minimum wage in Nairobi is KSh15,201/month (U$118.30/month). That’s slave wages. The federal minimum wage in the U.S. is $7.25/hr i.e. $1,261.5/mth or 15,138/yr (based on 40hr/wk). That means in one month a person that lives at home w/ family gets roof, electricity, running water, some Top Ramen® if not better, public transportation fee, unlimited phone plane, and can still take a plane trip on a Spirit/Southwest special to Hawaii or Florida for $300 to stay w/a family/friend…let’s just say. Now compare that with KSh15,201/month ($118.30/mth) in Nairobi. Boys' quarters or maids quarters are often WAY better than their family’s home in Kibera or Mathare where there is no infrastructure (electricity, proper roads, running water). So getting room and board is swank. Then a salary on top of that 😳 But your phone is not unlimited (they still have data), and it will take 10~12 monthly salaries just to afford a plane ticket from NBO to just ADD (Addis Ababa) which cost around $680 nonstop; meanwhile a comparable trip from JFK to ORD (Chicago) is $167 nonstop. So, to begin the salary in Africa does not match the actual cost of living as it pertain to int'l mobility and comforts. So, their salaries are rather slave pittance…let’s be real.
They are not slaves. They are paid and treated like family. Weekends are off. Some stay with the family, others came in the morning and leave in the evening after 8 hours, including lunch and you provide all meals.
True, it helps in unemployment. They are not treated as slaves, PLEASE! We have that in Zimbabwe as well and they are treated as family only that they get paid at the end of the month. It works well for everyone. At least we dont have drug lords and pimps
Yes, they are not forced. You agree on a wage that is agreeable to both. They provide a service and you pay for it. They can terminate the contract if they don't like it or you take unnecessary liberty with them. They do it out of their free will unlike slaves who were forced and belonged to their masters who bought them.
I’m cringing at his discription. Americans are so isolated from the rest of the world. I’m say this as an American who’s experienced in traveling outside of America.

Man he says House ninja and there probably some white people watching this. We are long way from freeing our minds. How about just domestic help or an assistant. How can we use the same words the colonizers or slave masters used to degrade and dehumanize us.
he gonna get ejected like Brazil if he talks ish too much the "oh that's just an American give the man a pass" will not fly if he continues. I do not wish the man to be back in Austin or Houston or Texas I don't remember where he is coming from ... but hey he is an ADULT... hopefully one day he will behave like one.
Auston is not known to have gone very far on the educational ladder, so it is expecting too much to think he will be erudite with his language. Cheers from Kampala 🇺🇬😅😅😅
A house boy is a horrible name, but they aren't slaves. They are paid a salary. My house manager is definitely NOT a slave. Her quarters are a lot nicer than some people's flats, and I pay her double what most housekeepers make. Her daily chores usually take 3-4 hours if that much. If she wants to go out in the evening, she can go out. She leaves every Saturday and comes back on Monday. I know it isn't intentional, but please be careful about spreading misinformation. Bloggers will use it to villify those of us who employ housekeepers.
Am listening to this like huh?? Am african, have a houshelp, a Gardner and a cook. Give them breakfast and lunch m. Work from Monday to Friday from 8 to 2 pm and then go home. When they are sick I pay for their hospital . Eish!
Please be mindful of the vocabulary you use to describe people who provide services to you. These jobs are dignified and necessary. Unlike as you described them as "house n*****", you have to pay them a fair and livable wage. The least you could do is learn the proper name to call them. Learn the local culture and local vocabulary, lest you come off ignorant and uncouth. Much love.
This is Africa. He is a foreigner. Africans in general have a long leash. Trust me you are at a disadvantage if anything pops off. And besides numbers they have the state machinery. Many foreign white companies have had their assets confiscated in Africa and all they did was cry. Uncle Sam is too busy to save anyone. He needs to learn quick
@@tamaduni unfortunately they do get abused. Not all of them are paid. They go into the country side and have people volunteer sometimes for their children to become maids, as young at 7 years of age. They get yelled at and treated poorly. I’ve seen it with my own 2 eyes
@@diemmarley1217which country. Cause in mine Try it and their family will come and treat u the way u deserve to be treated or if they go accuse u to the police( mind u a lot of the househelps women are married to policemen or military) or have a policemen tor military in their family they will arrest you
@@africaine4889 bro your country def has some societal norm issues as well, esp these Muslim folks. Problematic and ignorant. No science based knowledge at all. You’re acting like in your country kids are not working at all which is a lie
This is what is wrong with the US education system. This guy is both Ignorant and offensive. He should know better. We Kenyans do not lack dignity nor common sense. Pls watch your language!!
Mind your language, drop the arrogance and superiority complex. Drop the cusswords. Vulgar language is horrible Those women are domestic helpers, employees, not slaves.
We have no problem with this set up, if you dont like it, then wash your own clothes, cook your own food and clean your own clothes AND if you cant stand it, just pack your bags and leave!!
Be careful with your words 😭 life is cheaper in kenya ofc the service industry doesn’t demand a lot. I own a restaurant ofc I can’t charge similar prices to a restaurant in NYC. What you call cheaper living standards I call basic Kenyan living standards
When. I'm in Africa, I like having people whose job it is to help with certain things that i don't want to do. Like cleaning, washing my clothes and sometimes even food shopping and cooking traditional food. I donlt feel guilty about it at all, I appreciate what they do. In the west, some people have chefs and sometimes pay for a service wash or people to clean their home. Both my sisters in London have cleaners for their homes. It is not unheard of, it's just more money then in Africa but it's relative to what they earn and is worth it for them. One of the cleaners owns the actual cleaning company and is making so much money as she has many cleaners on contracts all over London working for her own company. She is preparing to sell the business for a lot of money too. Those services are not an undignified thing to do.
Yeah, that's why they basically force people to pay tips, because their employer does not pay a living wage, so they push that expense to the customer.
You are ignorant on this. Nothing wrong with that. The wealthy in the us have people coming to their house to clean or baby sit. Same as the house helps in those countries. Most jobs are not as flexible so people do need that help. Its a job just like any other. Would you rather people be jobless or take up those jobs.
I enjoy the content but Man you could’ve described what the guy who does housework does a lot more respectfully; just because someone needs your money and a job doesn’t mean you should disrespect them if you were in their shoes I doubt you’d be happy with that title
Not an outhouse! Its called Domestic Servant Quater (DSQ) most of them come from poor families in the village. Their salary goes back home to take care of elderly parents and siblings. Its not slavery, its employment and it's regulated by the government.
😊Somebody comes to your house and wash your clothes? I just dump them in the washing machine, and 1.5 hours later, VOILA! Clothes are ready. And I live here in Africa, Nigeria. In my opinion, an easier and cheaper way to go
You're forgetting those comparisons aren't matched on an equal plain. The africans in the Americas were mistreated, had no citizenship or if they were given citizenship, it was solely based on their socioeconomic status of slavery, and had no freedom to leave and had to be sold. That's slavery. These guys in Kenya tanzania etc are free people, they're employed, no ones whipping them unlike the Americas, no forced breeding for slave purposes so they can't be compared. There's an air of humanity in this service than in that slavery with no rights. Thought those distinctions mattered because it's part of the culture. They're not held against their will or lose their identity or the heinous things the Americas did to their servants
We all know the difference between the Slavery Era and today's Era. In the video he's probably talking more about the low pay. Some say low pay is no better than Slavery. Low pay equal Slavery pay.
Be careful these ppl are domestic workers they get paid and treated like everyone else's . In Jamaican we have helpers who will wash clean and cook it's like housekeeping it's honest living .
Yes true but i dom't think its the same dynamic as in American history of slavery. Its just if you got it and you can pay, people need money and are willing to work for it.
All of these comments are cruel & mean & show how much Africans truly dislike Americans with there complexion. I understand he’s wrong in his wording. Yet he’s called ignorant and jokes made about his education levels. It shows you all are on the same level as him mind wise and I truly feel for you all as I do him. I hope nothing happens to him there. I’m sure he left from dealing with that from Caucasians over daily. I pray you all find peace in your hearts. Because right now you all seem like modern day American black humans.
@@SherrieBumbray In the UK an outhouse was an outside toilet. In Africa the place built especially for the staff are usually called boys/maid quarters or if it's for the gate man, a gate house.
@sylviasworld9397 Yes, that's what I said. I've lived in 4 African countries. I'm very familiar with the boys' quarters. My housekeeper lives comfortably. We don't suffer in this house.
Don’t you have to curse? You are representing Black America rather you like it or not. The POP culture is just that. Otherwise I respect your approach.
I live and work in America and the housemates in Africa have their rent paid free meals three times a day. So basically they have no living expenses and they only work 3 to 4 hours in terms of actual physical labor. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. So basically they pay is for whatever they want since they don't have any expenses
@@AustonHolleman This is not a fact. My housekeeper gets paid double what most housekeepers make. My driver literally gets paid a bankers salary. People don't need to lie. Some of us employed housekeepers in the US.
@farayimatibiri1724 My housekeeper cooks for us once or twice a week. Whatever she cooks, she eats. When she cuts fruit, she takes her share. When she goes to the market, my driver takes her in my vehicle. I don't put her on trotro. She's either in my vehicle or Uber. We don't suffer in this house. I still pay my old housekeeper her salary as long as she is in school.
@ghsense2626 People like you are problematic. You most like don't employee anyone or pay tuition. Yet you're here talking about things that you know nothing about.
Kings and Queens have palaces that are too large to be maintained. Working class couples in parts of Africa don't have the time for the women to be the prized "traditional African housewife " or the "suffering superwoman who has a career and still cleans and cooks." So Austin,sooner or later Household Robots will take over the house chores. Do you have a solution for the mass unemployment that will follow? Houseworkers are under employment and have all rights in the constitution as other workers.
Equating a paid butler or maid with an enslaved person is deeply embarrassing coming from a Black American. Surely, you must be aware of the history of chattel slavery and how equating that to someone who is PAID to provide a service is wildly inaccurate. Who raised you?
It is a form of dormant slavery. Children under the age of 18 should be going to school not made into maids for financial gain. Make sue u hire an adult not a child, don’t ignore the societal i issue because you are a descendent of slaves, but educate the people on the importance of giving their children a fair shot at education.
It's not slavery it paid employment they do it to raise money done go on from there to school and to better themselves it done when people don't have money to further education ot starts a business
@diemmarley1217 My former housekeeper came to me when she was 18 years old. Her mother died 3 months prior to her coming to this house. She left to attend school almost 2 years later. I still pay her salary and anything related to school fees as her father is 78 and does not contribute to her or her 16 year old brother, who is also in school.
@@Rcrecords10 child labor is slavery. I don’t know why u wanna argue with me. Slavery is still ongoing in Africa. These children are working for their family and I know this is the norm in many countries, but we are privilege to know much more so don’t play into it. Just like girl still being excised yet people think it’s normal. It’s not.
They are called houseHelps period they are not anybodys slave, unless the family is mistreating them. We were raised by them when our parents had to work. The difference is When i'm white man does this to you, There is always a racial and slavery.Undertotell me in the way that they treat you.
Stop the pride from inching in thou! They are not there 2 royal n butter the heck out of u. Many are smart college educated people. The employment sector needs revamping. Otherwise pls leave Kenya
He’s not showing pride. On the contrary, he’s advocating for the rights of those in that position. In an ideal world, one in which I believe this video envisages, househelp would have better living standards, pay, working conditions etc. Hope that helps.
You are wrong. House helps are paid and are normally treated as part of the family. They vote. They have rights and can take you to court if mistreated. I dont think you know what slavery meant.
this is in fact slavery tho. austin made a sound observation and is just pointing it out, he’s not making this up. y’all are feeling some type of way about the language he uses, but that’s not even the problem! the fact that you have to take job lie that is the problem.
When you're mis-educated about slavery then you talk in ignorance. No one who understands the era and history of slavery speaks as you do. Go do your research and you'll find out a world of difference.😢
It's a job with pay. They are treated with respect. Have days off and nobody forces anybody to cater and treat others like kings. Thats ignorant of you to say. Get a washing machine, cook your own food and then appreciate what they do for you. Don't bring your ignorance here and expect that we will not run you out. Mscheew
A butler and a slave are two totally different things.
No they’re not. Yal just traumatized by Hollywood and elementary history class. Now you think anybody that serves anybody is Django and 12 years a slave. Slavery in America wasn’t brutal until after the Barbary Wars in the early 1800s when our last strongholds were defeated

This guy needs to be better educated. Househelps are paid. Nobody works for free. Iam not African though, but we also have househelps in our country.
😊Somebody comes to your house and wash your clothes? I just dump them in the washing machine, and 1.5 hours later, VOILA! Clothes are ready. And I live here in Africa, Nigeria. In my opinion, an easier and cheaper way to go
The exact same thing happens in most Asian countries also.... I never wash clothes, clean up, or cook when I was there....
You're forgetting those comparisons aren't matched on an equal plain. The africans in the Americas were mistreated, had no citizenship or if they were given citizenship, it was solely based on their socioeconomic status of slavery, and had no freedom to leave and had to be sold. That's slavery. These guys in Kenya tanzania etc are free people, they're employed, no ones whipping them unlike the Americas, no forced breeding for slave purposes so they can't be compared. There's an air of humanity in this service than in that slavery with no rights.
Thought those distinctions mattered because it's part of the culture. They're not held against their will or lose their identity or the heinous things the Americas did to their servants
@@Grace78ification excellent response because this is so true.
We all know the difference between the Slavery Era and today's Era.
In the video he's probably talking more about the low pay.
Some say low pay is no better than Slavery. Low pay equal Slavery pay.
Some people are very sensitive when they come into situations described in the video.
Butler🎉
Be careful these ppl are domestic workers they get paid and treated like everyone else's . In Jamaican we have helpers who will wash clean and cook it's like housekeeping it's honest living .
Damn! I never realised your content is this problematic.
The househelps have more dignity than what you're are portraying.
CHOICES OF WORDS......
Something about this guy not sure i like
Yes true but i dom't think its the same dynamic as in American history of slavery. Its just if you got it and you can pay, people need money and are willing to work for it.
All of these comments are cruel & mean & show how much Africans truly dislike Americans with there complexion. I understand he’s wrong in his wording. Yet he’s called ignorant and jokes made about his education levels. It shows you all are on the same level as him mind wise and I truly feel for you all as I do him. I hope nothing happens to him there. I’m sure he left from dealing with that from Caucasians over daily. I pray you all find peace in your hearts. Because right now you all seem like modern day American black humans.
Outhouses are really outside /backyard toilets.
Out house it called a boys or servants quarter
@Rcrecords10 In the US, an outhouse is the toilet.
@@SherrieBumbrayexactly
@@SherrieBumbray In the UK an outhouse was an outside toilet. In Africa the place built especially for the staff are usually called boys/maid quarters or if it's for the gate man, a gate house.
@sylviasworld9397 Yes, that's what I said. I've lived in 4 African countries. I'm very familiar with the boys' quarters. My housekeeper lives comfortably. We don't suffer in this house.
Living in the Outhouse 🚽 is Nasty Work
It's a job like any other and people raise their kids doing laundry etc
Don’t you have to curse? You are representing Black America rather you like it or not. The POP culture is just that. Otherwise I respect your approach.
respect mboch.
For the people saying they get paid even if they do its the bare minimum. Stop lying trying to pilish this practise as if its a great service 😂
Facts
I live and work in America and the housemates in Africa have their rent paid free meals three times a day. So basically they have no living expenses and they only work 3 to 4 hours in terms of actual physical labor. That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. So basically they pay is for whatever they want since they don't have any expenses
@@AustonHolleman This is not a fact. My housekeeper gets paid double what most housekeepers make. My driver literally gets paid a bankers salary. People don't need to lie. Some of us employed housekeepers in the US.
@farayimatibiri1724 My housekeeper cooks for us once or twice a week. Whatever she cooks, she eats. When she cuts fruit, she takes her share. When she goes to the market, my driver takes her in my vehicle. I don't put her on trotro. She's either in my vehicle or Uber. We don't suffer in this house. I still pay my old housekeeper her salary as long as she is in school.
@ghsense2626 People like you are problematic. You most like don't employee anyone or pay tuition. Yet you're here talking about things that you know nothing about.
😅lol it's basically service providers...or care givers or maid aka househelp....
Numerous of those professionals are ib US Europe and everywhere.
Kings and Queens have palaces that are too large to be maintained. Working class couples in parts of Africa don't have the time for the women to be the prized "traditional African housewife " or the "suffering superwoman who has a career and still cleans and cooks." So Austin,sooner or later Household Robots will take over the house chores. Do you have a solution for the mass unemployment that will follow? Houseworkers are under employment and have all rights in the constitution as other workers.
Service,Helper,Maidservant
Equating a paid butler or maid with an enslaved person is deeply embarrassing coming from a Black American. Surely, you must be aware of the history of chattel slavery and how equating that to someone who is PAID to provide a service is wildly inaccurate. Who raised you?
It is a form of dormant slavery. Children under the age of 18 should be going to school not made into maids for financial gain. Make sue u hire an adult not a child, don’t ignore the societal i issue because you are a descendent of slaves, but educate the people on the importance of giving their children a fair shot at education.
It's not slavery it paid employment they do it to raise money done go on from there to school and to better themselves it done when people don't have money to further education ot starts a business
@diemmarley1217 My former housekeeper came to me when she was 18 years old. Her mother died 3 months prior to her coming to this house. She left to attend school almost 2 years later. I still pay her salary and anything related to school fees as her father is 78 and does not contribute to her or her 16 year old brother, who is also in school.
@@SherrieBumbray you are amazing
@@Rcrecords10 child labor is slavery. I don’t know why u wanna argue with me. Slavery is still ongoing in Africa. These children are working for their family and I know this is the norm in many countries, but we are privilege to know much more so don’t play into it. Just like girl still being excised yet people think it’s normal. It’s not.
@@diemmarley1217 Thank you! I'm just trying to do my part to the best of my abilities. I've always believed that happy employees are productive.
They are called houseHelps period they are not anybodys slave, unless the family is mistreating them. We were raised by them when our parents had to work. The difference is
When i'm white man does this to you, There is always a racial and slavery.Undertotell me in the way that they treat you.
House managers
This guy has no home trainer Why is talk like that in a foreign country.
Stop the pride from inching in thou! They are not there 2 royal n butter the heck out of u.
Many are smart college educated people. The employment sector needs revamping. Otherwise pls leave Kenya
He’s not showing pride. On the contrary, he’s advocating for the rights of those in that position. In an ideal world, one in which I believe this video envisages, househelp would have better living standards, pay, working conditions etc. Hope that helps.
mboch 😂
You are wrong. House helps are paid and are normally treated as part of the family. They vote. They have rights and can take you to court if mistreated. I dont think you know what slavery meant.
this is in fact slavery tho. austin made a sound observation and is just pointing it out, he’s not making this up. y’all are feeling some type of way about the language he uses, but that’s not even the problem! the fact that you have to take job lie that is the problem.
Help & teach him.
More like a role of Jeffrey in Fresh prince
Chunga sana kababa
When you're mis-educated about slavery then you talk in ignorance. No one who understands the era and history of slavery speaks as you do. Go do your research and you'll find out a world of difference.😢
Imma be honest with you I’m not going to Africa
Who giva fuck ? Stay there don’t come
Who said you had to?
That's OK you don't have to come
GREAT VIDEO
No you have not understood at all
You know u can get all of these things in the US right 😂😂😂
Only the strong can survive
😮
Change your language Young Man...Damn...You can speak better, Do better Please.
The outhouses are trash.
It's a job with pay. They are treated with respect. Have days off and nobody forces anybody to cater and treat others like kings. Thats ignorant of you to say. Get a washing machine, cook your own food and then appreciate what they do for you. Don't bring your ignorance here and expect that we will not run you out. Mscheew
I don’t have a maid😂
Obviously you don't..
Umekuja sana jifunze vile huishi wacha ufala
Dude is so ignorant and confused
Butler Nanny
Ignorant arrogance.
This one needs to be greeted , he doesn’t have a good education
