Every black persons ancestors are african.But us saying we are Jamaican is us acknowledging our island,we are not saying we are definitely not african, we are black it’s common sense . ALSO NOT ALL JAMAICAN PEOPLE ARE BLACK.
Ikr saying they are from Africa is not wrong but it’s also erasing their culture as an African I have my own country and culture but jamaïcain can’t relate to a whole ass continent
@@ivoirianbaddy9225 Its not about jamaicans not relating to african culture .not to mention africa isn’t a culture,that continent has 50+ different countries and each of them have different cultures.Somalis can’t relate to nigerians and Congolese people cannot relate to Egypt. This is about Jamaicans not knowledging the african in their blood.everybody and their Mommas know Jamaica and african countries aren’t always 100% similar to eachhother.but don’t ignore the fact that a lot of stuff in jamaican culture are rooted from Africa. The middle east has black-arabs too,they arent always relating to africans in terms of culture but the african is in the blood still. We dont need to relate 100% culturally with africans to knowledge the african blood and roots in our cultures .the whole black race.knowledging the african isn’t erasing anything,if anything ,black people that were took from africa were stripped and erased from their culture which lead them to make a new culture to fill the gaps(gaps.meaning the ones that aren’t from africa ,sinse culturally every black culture is somehow rooted in africanism).not saying the last part in a degarding way,i’m actually fascinated about how creative the stolen africans were which led to beautiful cultures.like the caribbeans . Beautiful cultures made by creative people with full of life even though they were stripped away from africa. Love them all and no matter what black people have a one common home : Africa. (Speaking of the majorty black jamaicans here .im aware of the minorities that arent black!)
@@Ihavemadeit999 I know but at the of the day Africa is a whole continent so I can understand if they don’t relate to it and prefer saying they are jamaïcain
@@ivoirianbaddy9225 the gag is they’re related to africa(the majorty of them sinse there are european jamaicans etc)nd ofc they arent africans so they call themsleves Where they are from,Jamaica😭Why would a jamaican call themselves african sinse Jamaica isnt in the continent.
As an African, Jamaicans are Jamaicans. They do have African descent but they have their own culture and traditions now that are unique to them. It is hard to claim something that you are so disconnected from. Same for AA’s. Also some Jamaicans originate from Asia and Europe etc. So you can’t classify all of them as African decent.
mate mate Everyone knows most (not all) Jamaicans have African decent thats just facts but its so far back to embrace it especially because there’s so many different African countries to rep. You have a beautiful culture and country now so rep it!
@@tanyajc3661 im caribbean from dominica, barbados & guyana actually lol i should of probs said that earlier but thank youuu. its kinda hard to find africans that understand our point of view unfortunately. nice to see one.
mate mate We take alot of pride in our countries so it can seem like people are ashamed or looking down on us🤣 i understand that its mainly due to disconnect. Aslong as the facts are understood than People should claim what they most connect and identify with. Well then you have beautiful culture(s) to rep☺️!
My ancestors are African’s but I am Jamaican to di BONEEE. I don’t feel like anything needs to be debated here. I never hear Australians saying “ I’m European” or white Americans saying it. I’m Jamaican fam and that’s that.
@@kennybrown3302 That makes no sense that word is overused and doesn't fit the notions of that dialogue. It's more like he is trying to normalize through fake encouragement guys getting bemore than what they have given for it. Ladies if you ain't getting the rewards of a wife close off your womb to lames.
Jamaicans are Jamaicans. Yes, majority of us are of African descent and don’t deny it but people try to erase our Jamaicaness and expect us to only claim Africa as if we don’t have our own identity.
No ones telling you to erase your “Jamaicaness” just acknowledge that your African descendants but every time Africa is even mentioned many of you lot cry about it
@@h2have643 No one is crying. People are telling us that we are Africans when we are not. We are African descendants. It’s not the same thing. The same way a Nigerian can call themselves an African, I along many other Jamaicans can’t. We don’t ignore nor are we ashamed of our African ancestry, we are taught it before we can even read and write properly.
As an Afro American, I feel Jamaicans when it comes to this argument. I get both sides. We clearly know we’re of west/Central African descent but have built a whole new culture that we’re now proud of. We’re still connected to the parts of the culture we preserved during slavery and turned into something new but we’re just proud of our ethnicity. You can be a proud American, Jamaican, Dominican of African roots💕
Exactly! To undermine us as people shouldn’t be the incentive. We know our heritages “plural” and we have made it unique for ourselves! We do not deny where we came from! We know we are Africans in the diaspora! But we are also Indian, Lebanese, Chinese European indigenous etc… this debate has no grounding or purposeful sentiment. If Africans took the time to actually learn about the diaspora they would also understand that our culture’s are merged hence our diversity! So we have the right to stand firm in our identity! This debate is pointless and flawed!
Majority of us Jamaicans we acknowledge that our ancestors are from Africa...however, just our own motto tells us "OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE🇯🇲" some of us have ancestors who are not entirely from Africa but also East India, Germany, China etc. So that's something to consider when some people deny not being from Africa. JAMAICA is a mosaic of ethnicity, cultural differences etc. So to generalize that a Jamaican whose ancestors are from europe as being from africa is not entirely true.
Why do people get so mad at Jamaicans identifying as Jamaican? Jamaican's are literally taught in school that we are African descendants. It's annoying that Jamaican's not allowed to be loud and proud about where they come from without the reminder of where we come from like we don't know. Say one positive thing about Jamaican culture and it's "but you're African." I feel like it's used as a negative dig also instead of a positive. On top of that we don't even know what part of Africa we are from, do you want us to claim and represent every single West African nation?
I’m Jamaican. Born and raised and most of the people I interact with, in and out of school, don’t want to be associated with Africa. Most Jamaicans think being African is below them and that has to do with how Africa and Africans are being presented to us. Jamaican people think Africans are poor, black magic believers etc. Rastafarians and the maroons do uplift the view of Africans and they do not hesitate to identify as Africans. We are taught in school about our heritage but that’s it. Most Jamaicans neglect the teachings of Marcus Garvey and other pan Africanists. They literally look down on Africans. Yes there are exceptions. I’m a proud Jamaican. And I also identify as African. I may not know exactly where I’m from but I still see myself and other Afro-Jamaicans and as Africans.
@@sheashola5008 it’s not most Jamaicans. I don’t know where u are from but most of us identify with our African descent. U sound like u weren’t even raised in Jamaica cuz the obsession with the African verses Jamaican thing is obviously a oversea thing.
I’m confused. Most Jamaicans I’ve met are really cool and very proud to be Jamaican but also proud of their ancestry. I’ve never heard a Jamaican deny being of African decent. So what is there to debate? I’m African btw. I always felt like Caribbean’s out of all people that decent from Africa acknowledge that fact the most. Americans don’t say they’re European but their ancestors are so.. I don’t get it. Let people be proud to be where they from.
@@janelr1134 Jamaicans don’t deny their ancestry. You can’t deny something that’s quite obvious. But it doesn’t go beyond the historical context. Jamaicans get offended when you refer to them as Africans (and you can see that in most of the comments). I’m from Trelawny btw. Went to Westwood High School. I’m an Sub-Saharan African History, and a public health major in college. Yes we have our own national identity and as Jamaicans we are a very proud people. But look at the difference between how a Jamaican national view their relationship with Africa vs. someone from the Rastafari movement, a Pan Africanist, and the maroons. It’s very different. In the US and countries like it, race, culture and ethnicity are discussed heavily compared to Jamaica and other Caribbean countries. One reason being that the cultural, racial and ethnic differences are on a much wider scale in the US. Yes Jamaica says out of many one people, but majority of us here have a similar cultural or racial background.
When Jamaicans are referring to being Jamaicans they are referring to their ethnicity (culture) and nationality. The Jamaican Culture just like other Caribbean islands' and West Indian culture has accents of African culture but is not entirely made up of African culture but rather a mixture of the many ethnicities that was brought to those islands and mainlands. I'm Afro Guyanese meaning I have African heritage and am proud but culturally I'm not African but Guyanese due to being raised in and practice the Guyanese culture the same applies with Jamaicans.
YOU BETTER SAY IT LOUDER!!! Im tired of blacks in the UK saying we dont know ish yet still wanna use Southern slang!

@@ChaseTyMusic exactly! As a Jamaican, I know that Jamaicans can be ignorant about this topic. But in my experience, people use the “Jamaicans are Africans” to humble Jamaicans because we tend to be extremely patriotic. We noe seh we are Africans, but not alla we. “Out of many, one people”
@@katiebrown9984 this is facts for real. Whilst some people are ignorant to the history, I definitely feel like this whole debate is to humble us a bit
@@Deemelanin7 you just proved the definition of the motto though??? Afro-Caribbean is a sweeping term. Also most ≠ all. You can debate without disrespecting my people so don’t worry about our motto or our country 🤷🏾♀️
yeah, i think it’s because jamaicans are known to be very ignorant when it comes to hearing about them being from africa and blah blah blah and i know this because i’m jamaican and i’ve literally heard some jamaicans say they’re not from africa theyre jamaican and stuff. however, afro dominicans don’t even claim that they’re black at all and nobody really says anything to them.
@@niquexox1839 literally like idk why there’s so much vim for jamaicans like i get some arrogant ones deny it but don’t come for one caribbean country, say caribbean people as a whole
It's the fact that everyone who live in a foreign country thinks that Jamaica is the only Caribbean country so when they hear caribbean they go straight to Jamaica. Thank Bob Marley.
As a Jamaican, most Jamaican's know it's pretty damn obvious our ancestors were from Africa( taught from primary school). Like most black people in the Caribbean, same with Asians. But as an island, our culture is a melting pot of other ethnicities. I feel like Black people especially though, (US or England born) over generations, or moved, have been increasingly obsessed with the idea of coming from Africa when I know some of yall can't even name 5 countries on the continent. A majority of black Jamaican's are of Nigerian descent(proven), as white Americans are of European descent.
@@tsuyuasui7297 at the end of the day its hard for most black caribbean people to state exaclty where their African lineage came from. So the majority of them would say they come from Ghana and Nigeria. But you have to remember that these countries had the ports where the slave ships would sail from. So essentially slaves could have been taken from any African nation, but ultimately they were brought to the west coast to start the journey. That's why when you go to Jamaica you can see the mixture of Africans
This is when DNA testing can be helpful. I’m Jamaican, and I found out I have Nigerian cousins (mostly Igbo). My Ghanaian percentage was very low. I would recommend taking a test if you’re serious in wanting to know where in Africa you can “connect” to.
I am Jamaican and I have never in my life heard a Jamaican deny that they are from African descent… I will never say I am African but ofcourse I will acknowledge that that is where my forefathers are from… I am Jamaican, with African descent.., That’s it…
THIS ONE OF YOUR BEST SERIES, EVER! like the series definitely has the grounds to beat the comedy of the throwback videos from your college dorm room. you’ve done so well sis, it’s beautiful watching you grow
Cause we have the one of the biggest global impact culturally in comparison to our size and population. That's why we're always mentioned in debates like these. 😂
it's cause jamaica is the most "mainstream" / well known caribbean country. everyone knows jamaica. unfortunately the rest of us caribbeans are just forgotten & are just considered jamaican when we're clearly not 💀. like the amount of times i have to explain what island im from & where is ridiculous kmt lol.
As an African American/Pan African we don’t have the Luxury to know where some of us came from not because we don’t want to accept it but because we were robbed of it. That was taken from us.
YOU BETTER SAY IT LOUDER!!! Im tired of blacks in the UK saying we dont know ish yet still wanna use Southern slang! Like come on man, our ancestors were put on slave ships HUNDREDS of years ago from various countries in Africa while you literally just visited your country of origin in Africa in December for the holidays! STOP THE CAP !!
Exactly! I know my ancestors are from Africa but I couldn't tell you from where because they stole that from us and people act like we chose to be stripped from our culture. We were forced to create our own.
I’m shocked this isn’t common knowledge! American Chattel Slavery occurred… the commentary in the video assumes African Americans CHOOSE to not claim their mother tongue, tribe, village etc….. It was stolen from us? I don’t understand why the dots don’t connect for everyone else???? Make it make sense!
Honestly! You're absolutely wack if you think a BABY mother is more important than your wife. Anyone can have kids, a wife is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.I don't think they understand the actual gravity of marriage if they think a baby mom is on the same level as your wife who also had your kids lmao. Shits sad if you get with a guy and marry him, only for him to give 20k to an ex lol.
as a african american we know where our ancestry comes from, we know it’s more than likely west african. but we don’t have the privilege of knowing the country etc, unless you do a dna test. so ofc we’re gonna say we’re “black” or “african american” bc that’s our culture, the one we had to make ourselves! i didn’t grow up on jollof rice i grew up on fried chicken, ham hocks, and cornbread lol! but at the end of the day we still respect Africa and we never forget where we come from!
As an African American, I felt like the Jamaican question was awkward. It’s the same concept with AA. We’re from Africa but where in Africa ? We don’t know so we just say it to say it… but we weren’t raise with African culture, we’ve never had African cuisine. We don’t party to African music, and we aren’t taught a lot of African history in school. So we’re truthfully just acknowledging the fact that we don’t know who or where we come from every single day. But what we do know is how to be American. How to dress American, speak English, and eat American food. So why must we have to acknowledge it? I identify as AA, just food for thought.
@@itiswhatitis5666 it’s not the music we gravitate to. A couple of years ago American stations weren’t playing African beats on air. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy it , I’m just saying if I go to a party , that’s not what’s playing. Because that’s not what we’re accustomed to, it’s not in our American culture.
as a caribbean (from dominica, barbados & guyana) i agree with most of what u said. neither of us know where we're from, so it's kinda hard to claim being african. especially when there's so many countries in africa (50+) it's like where do we start lol.
i definitely agree with you also you guys created your own culture which is what you guys grew up around which is how you identity as AA or Ados . Yeah ancestry says y’all are African but technology can only do so much , . Yeah with the Jamaican concept it was kinda akward cause they are Jamaican that’s their identity yeah they are descendants from Africa but they grew up Jamaican .
Sorry but it’s so ignorant when people try and remind Jamaicans EVERY SINGLE TIME that they’re African. We know? It’s our ancestry however if we want to claim our culture let us be. We understand where we came from but it’s so disrespectful when people try and wipe our culture and island away from us just based on ancestry and irs like they only like to remind Jamaicans?
I'll give my perspective as an east African. I feel like the Africans who want Jamaicans/Caribbean people to identify as African are just insecure in their own "africanness". Although Africa is a continent with numerous cultures, east Africa is very different from north Africa but, it is often regarded as one type of mixed culture. And if you ask outsiders about "African culture" often, the first image that will pop into their heads will be starving children, poverty, poor healthcare and education system, disease e.t.c. But if questioned about Caribbean culture,such images do not arise. There are more positive images, beautiful beaches, friendly welcoming people, music running through the streets etc. So I think some Africans in turn have some kind of insecurity or jealousy. "Those Caribbeans think they are better than us cause the white people said so, no they are just as black as us. They should remember that they are just as low as us cause they also came from Africa." That's kind of the feelings of the ones who want you to identify as African. Don't take it too seriously though, look at it as an appreciation of your culture. They envy your culture so bad they want you to throw it away so you can "be on their low level".
Also Jamaicans are known for their athletic abilities in sprinting. There aren't any African countries that are well known for sprinting (Kenya and Ethiopia are known for long distance though, but it is well known that sprints are more watched than long distance)so that is another source of jealousy for some Africans.
@@fatumaa6927 no one thinks we’re superior lol. I think a lot of people confuse it with being proud. If we proudly speak about our country just like everyone else we’re always reminded
The Jamaican part was bare awkward 🤦🏾. At the end of the day us Caribbean people are African descent. Just like how Ugandan people are east African or Nigerian are west African. The problem is the wording cuz the Caribbean isn’t situated in Africa, so when you say your African it feels like you’re taking away our culture. Also, we are from many African nationalities, therefore we can’t claim exactly what part, which is why again we should be addressed as African descent. Simple
I’m confused. Most Jamaicans I’ve met are really cool and very proud to be Jamaican but also proud of their ancestry. I’ve never heard a Jamaican deny being of African decent. So what is there to debate? I’m African btw. I always felt like Caribbean’s out of all people that decent from Africa acknowledge that fact the most. Americans don’t say they’re European but their ancestors are so.. I don’t get it. Let people be proud to be where they from and their culture.
@@naomibeautymind6226 With white people they are kind of like at the top of the racial hierarchy so people don't really ask them to identify with Europe because whether they are Australian, European or American they are still white, meaning that either way they will still be at the top. But with black people, the ones who are outside of Africa, you'll find many Africans telling Caribbeans to identify with Africa. Reason being even though black people are at the bottom of the racial hierarchy, there is still are hierarchy within that in terms of "culture". White people view the Caribbean in a more positive light than Africa. With the Caribbean the first image that pops up into their heads is visiting lovely beaches, lovely people, beautiful music etc. But with Africa it's poverty, diseases, poor healthcare etc. So I think some Africans are jealous that you guys are viewed in a more positive light, so they want you to identify with Africa to remind you that "No you are still African, don't go thinking you are different from us and better because the colonizer said so." It's something like that. (I'm east African by the way, Kenyan to be exact)
The grip that Jamaicans have on you lot is mad😭 not every Jamaican is African/black and there’s a difference between being African and of African DESCENT.
Africans aren’t just African, they’re Nigerian, Congolese, Ghanaian, Ethiopian etc etc being African doesn’t completely describe them because their individual countries carry different traditions and cultures. West Indians are African by descent but culturally we have something different.
Baby mum is higher than your WIFE? And the same level as your wife if they both have kids? the wife you claim as your equal? The wife you accept in front of god? Doesn’t that make you below your baby mum too then? 🤣… a woman who marries a man like that is gunna suffer! Why leave your baby mum? Should’ve married her instead of someone below her 🤨🤦🏽♀️ Look after your child 100% because that is your relationship and responsibility towards the child. It should be your kids, wife and then baby mum but maybe I’m old school 🤷🏽♀️ Millennials are mad 🤣🤣
Totally agree with you. Even with the example Nella gave, why can't the man take care of the child with his wife until the baby mum is in a better place or can get back on her feet. Use that 25k to secure the house for you and your wife, your child and your future kids.
I don't understand the statement of African Americans have no idea where they're from/origin bit when their foundation is the same as Jamaicans? If you ask a Jamaican in Jamaica where they're from, they will say a city/town in Jamaica. If you ask a AA where they're from they will say a city/state in the US- how does that differ from Jamaicans or any other Black group in the Americas? Ultimately, Black People based on dna/genetics are African but many are not African by culture/heritage. on another note- Beyonce is an Icon on her way to becoming a legend. She does not need number ones or even sell tons of records at this point in her career. Her impact in for the last 22+ years is enough.
Not all Jamaicans are African people because as the motto says "out of many one people" so you'll have people being born in Jamaica therefore being Jamaican but can originate from China, India, etc.
Then they are not Jamaican, they’re Chinese, Indian etc. Why are black people so inclusive of others when they aren’t inclusive with you? That’s why white Americans are simply called ‘Americans’ but black Americans are called ‘African American’. That’s why black people are referred to as ‘British’ and not ‘English’. The term out of many one people enables these nations to take over with the guise of being ‘Jamaican’.
@@lacianstewart5585 hence the term Jamaican is with reference to the Jamaicans ‘shipped’ there who are now the blood and soil of the Jamaican nation today. This term does not refer to you. Also, it is a myth that all natives died in Jamaica.
We need to stop pushing this “ out of many one people “ native, 92% of Jamaica's population is of sub-Saharan ancestry, Jamaica ain't that damn diverse..

Africa is made up of many different ethnicities. Ethnicity = Culture African is not synonymous for black. Just because Jamaicans are black and have ancestry from Africa, doesn’t make us African. We have our own culture. Thanks

As a West Indian who's lived my entire life in the Caribbean and lives in Jamaica....being from our respective islands is our culture, it is what we know - that culture is based on our country's personal experience as colony, our people are products of our ancestors ; Africans AND other countries. Being from a Caribbean island is not the same as your parents being directly from an African nation. We have similarities but we aren't the same. There are Jamaican's and West Indies who have no African heritage at all and many who do but we are not African, we are West Indian.
@@cutiepiea3687 black people of African nationality don’t identify as their African Nationality because they are black, they identify as such cause that’s their home, where the family is from, and the culture they know & were raised with.

Aw this was so funny I love it lol. All jokes aside here's the elephant in the room: *being African was never cool in school so "but you're African though" has always been more of a comeback than a genuine belief!!* Jamaica has it's own national identity that we fought and bled for. *There is no such thing as an "African" language, flag, currency, nationality, passport or even culture.* What part of the MASSIVE continent of Africa shall we identify with? Kenya? Algeria? Congo....Nigeria? Nigeria, Mali, Benin, Togo, and Burkina Faso *was all The Mali Empire at a certain point* ....do people tell Nigerians they are really from Mali? No.....that's stupid.... It's funny because Jamaica was a country BEFORE the majority of African states were even formed! At the end of the day Caribbean's are Caribbean's Nella is a queen and obviously the debate wasn't serious but this convo just needs to die tbh. English people don't get told every five minutes they're really German (it was German tribes that populated the land here).....like we are NOT African in the way that you lot bloody say it. England and Germany literally went to war they didnt say "oh no we are ancestors" like WTF. Australians hate the English and they literally founded their country with English convicts and don't identify with England ONE BIT! They even wanna get rid of the queen. Let it go identities evolve. WE AS JAMAICANS decide what we are NOT YOU!!!!! Love ya lol x
I think INDIVIDUALS see it differently… there‘s black Jamaicans who say they are Africans and there are Jamaicans who don’t. I don’t really care like that.. all I know is that I‘m African 😭🇬🇭
But this is the same for African Americans. We literally are forced to say we’re from African when we identify ourselves. But some people choose not to. Some people see it as, “ I was born in American therefore I’m American.” And some people are proud to identify as African American.
Jamaicans are Jamaicans period. Overtime they have developed their own culture and identity. Same goes for other Caribbean countries such as Trinidad and Tobago. We can not be generalized. We have origins from almost everywhere India and China included. To say were African is incorrect, you can say some of us are of African descent.
Every country in Africa has developed its own culture and identity. Too many comments are generally referring to Africa as though it is a country it is a continent with 50+ country all as different as the other
Why are y’all in the UK confused when African Americans say they’re African American? They’ve been in the US since 1619 when they were stolen and enslaved … What answer do y’all want to hear?

Like I really don’t understandddddd what ppl want from African Americans??? Magical intuition?
Some people have a very warped perception of black folks in the U.S. Some are aware- but may feel as though their “home country” was colonized- yet they know where they are from. But they forget-the U.S was once a part of Britain:13 colonies- and slavery occurred there as well( and all over the world). Lots of people don’t know due to no fault of their own-only certain facts were savored via oral traditions, and there are certain parts of history that some governments/institutions would prefer to keep hidden. So- yes you’ll get I’m from Brooklyn- and my family is from this southern state( and I am of African descent- what country, what tribe- Idk).

Jamaicans know we are genetically African. Some more than others. It’s in our music, in our food, in our dialect, HOWEVER, we take pride in our history and identity as Jamaican people. Why this bothers some people, I will never know. No one vilifies Australians for not identifying as British or white South Africans for not identifying as Dutch, but when a black Jamaican, who grow up in Jamaican culture, and knows nothing else but that, says they’re Jamaican and proud, people wanna say “remember where you came from?” Like our European surnames don’t remind us of how we came to be?
Right and the history for us is DIFFERENT we were literally forced to forget our African ancestry. It was erased and stolen from us. We were mixed with countless other ethnicities and cultures and as a result created a new culture and identity. Centuries later we must forget it and claim something that we can’t necessarily identity with? Stupidness
@@valeyzia1632 Exactly. Only thing I’ll disagree with is your point about us being mixed. Although that is true for some, most Jamaicans are 90%+ African and aren’t as genetically mixed as some of us claim to be. Culturally however, yes. Our food and dialect is influenced by Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Europe. This obsession with policing how Caribbean people, specifically Jamaicans, choose to identify is a very weird one lol
It's an insult to say Black Americans don't know where they're from. My ancestors were here for over 400 years. They helped build America and EVERY industry in this country is a bi product of their hard work. I can personally trace my family back 200 years. I know where I'm from. I know my culture...
@@kywii85 I guess but personally the gift was a bunch of artists so I don’t see that as hers, black parade didn’t do well, I think it’s cause of its message.
Nella not all Jamaican have African ancestors. Every Jamaican that are black are intact with their African roots and our history about slaves are thought in school. Jamaica is a nationality not a race so When ask a Jamaican or any Caribbean country what they are they are going to say their nationality because they didn't up focusing on races saying african Jamaican, indian Jamaican, Chinese Jamaican. They just grow up coming as one knowning that they are just Jamaican, but understanding they are from African descendants, indian descendants, Chinese descendants etc. It's just not what we are use to.
Thank you for saying this because it pains me when people try to argue with me about where I’m from. I’m from Mauritius and my ancestors are of Indian descent. Being brown doesn’t make me Indian, my origins are from there and that’s it. People need to educate themselves more!
@@shroff3417 yeah and what I hate is when they ask us and expect us to say African but we say the country we were born in. If you want to know what race I am which is a stupid question cause if you look at me and see that black common sense would tell you I'm from African descendants.
Some Africans don't like it when African Americans say they come from Africa but they want Jamaicans to claim it on top of their own heritage. You can't take one enslaved group and deny the other because of bad reputation you may also take on.
I will have to respectfully disagree there is no way no how no time at all a baby mother can come before a wife. If she is number 1 all the time then you should have married her or leave me and go back to her. If the baby mother is down on her luck and she has the kid then the Dad should take care of the child until she get back on her feet. His only responsibility is to his child not the mother. Not saying if she needs a little help she won't have it. But no to her before the wife. That scenario that Nella mentioned, nope can't give her all the money. We have a family to start and our own house to buy.

Beyoncé stopped making music for the charts because it was so short-lived. She said so herself. She is an album and touring artist. She is in a different league. Anyone can go to number one - everyone from Lil Nas to Doja Cat. Number ones do not equate to talent. If Beyoncé released a solo track designed for the charts, it would go to number one. She went to number one with Megan, which proves she still knows the formula. If she wanted to do that herself, she could. Instead, she is playing the long-game. Most awarded artist alive. 6 number one albums. One of the highest-grossing tour artists of all time. Grossed over a billion in movie sales. Entrepreneaur etc She's in a different lane. Nella is just loud and wrong sometimes.

@@h2have643 I know. I'm just saying it's no brainer that majority of us are from Africa but does that mean we need to go around saying that we are African? Or cant we just acknowledge that we are Jamaican?
I’m Jamaican and mixed with Chinese(from great grandpa?), and I know a lot of Caribbeans who are mixed. I’m not saying we’re sooo different, but I think there’s a lot of us who aren’t fully African the same way people from Africa are. Also Jamaica has its own culture that we’re proud of. That being said we LOVEEE Africa anyways! lol. (Also my nationality is Canadian too so I don’t even know what to say when one asks me where I’m from lmao😭)
im caribbean (from dominica, barbados and guyana) & my dad is mixed race, his mum is indo guyanese. im obvi not gonna be fully african. almost all caribbeans are mixed in some way. it's hard for us to claim something we don't know about honestly. like i have multiple cultures that im proud of, why is that a problem? + if i were u, id just say "im jamaican canadian" lol
My opinion before watching the video based off of title: As a born Jamaican every year growing up we learned that all of our ancestors are from Africa, West Africa if I remember correctly.
@Gideon kobby caribbeans just like afrobeats 🤷🏽♀️ i feel like black ppl tend to support black ppl coming from anywhere rather it be america, africa, caribbean etc. i don't really see the problem. as a caribbean myself, i like afrobeats & im happy seeing black ppl win. plus ive had africans tell me im african whenever they ask where im from. this isn't just me, multiple caribbeans have experienced this at least once. so idk bout that lol.
Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean island have a long a long history of the indigenous people of the Caribbean the a Awarak (Taino), Carib (now known has the Kalinago) and the Garifuna people. Why don’t people seem to know anything about this lol. It really saddens me. Plus a lot of Jamaicans are also Cuban descent too.

Every black persons ancestors are african.But us saying we are Jamaican is us acknowledging our island,we are not saying we are definitely not african, we are black it’s common sense .
ALSO NOT ALL JAMAICAN PEOPLE ARE BLACK.
Ikr saying they are from Africa is not wrong but it’s also erasing their culture as an African I have my own country and culture but jamaïcain can’t relate to a whole ass continent
@@ivoirianbaddy9225 Its not about jamaicans not relating to african culture .not to mention africa isn’t a culture,that continent has 50+ different countries and each of them have different cultures.Somalis can’t relate to nigerians and Congolese people cannot relate to Egypt.
This is about Jamaicans not knowledging the african in their blood.everybody and their Mommas know Jamaica and african countries aren’t always 100% similar to eachhother.but don’t ignore the fact that a lot of stuff in jamaican culture are rooted from Africa.
The middle east has black-arabs too,they arent always relating to africans in terms of culture but the african is in the blood still.
We dont need to relate 100% culturally with africans to knowledge the african blood and roots in our cultures .the whole black race.knowledging the african isn’t erasing anything,if anything ,black people that were took from africa were stripped and erased from their culture which lead them to make a new culture to fill the gaps(gaps.meaning the ones that aren’t from africa ,sinse culturally every black culture is somehow rooted in africanism).not saying the last part in a degarding way,i’m actually fascinated about how creative the stolen africans were which led to beautiful cultures.like the caribbeans . Beautiful cultures made by creative people with full of life even though they were stripped away from africa. Love them all and no matter what black people have a one common home : Africa.

As an African, Jamaicans are Jamaicans. They do have African descent but they have their own culture and traditions now that are unique to them. It is hard to claim something that you are so disconnected from. Same for AA’s. Also some Jamaicans originate from Asia and Europe etc. So you can’t classify all of them as African decent.
Right!!!
id love to claim african more than i do now but it's so hard becoz of the disconnection 😭. the ancestry tests ain't even accurate either it so harddd

As an Afro American, I feel Jamaicans when it comes to this argument. I get both sides. We clearly know we’re of west/Central African descent but have built a whole new culture that we’re now proud of. We’re still connected to the parts of the culture we preserved during slavery and turned into something new but we’re just proud of our ethnicity. You can be a proud American, Jamaican, Dominican of African roots💕
Exactly! To undermine us as people shouldn’t be the incentive. We know our heritages “plural” and we have made it unique for ourselves! We do not deny where we came from! We know we are Africans in the diaspora! But we are also Indian, Lebanese, Chinese European indigenous etc… this debate has no grounding or purposeful sentiment. If Africans took the time to actually learn about the diaspora they would also understand that our culture’s are merged hence our diversity! So we have the right to stand firm in our identity!

Majority of us Jamaicans we acknowledge that our ancestors are from Africa...however, just our own motto tells us "OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE🇯🇲" some of us have ancestors who are not entirely from Africa but also East India, Germany, China etc. So that's something to consider when some people deny not being from Africa.
JAMAICA is a mosaic of ethnicity, cultural differences etc. So to generalize that a Jamaican whose ancestors are from europe as being from africa is not entirely true.
thissssssssssss
Thank you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Why do people get so mad at Jamaicans identifying as Jamaican? Jamaican's are literally taught in school that we are African descendants. It's annoying that Jamaican's not allowed to be loud and proud about where they come from without the reminder of where we come from like we don't know. Say one positive thing about Jamaican culture and it's "but you're African." I feel like it's used as a negative dig also instead of a positive. On top of that we don't even know what part of Africa we are from, do you want us to claim and represent every single West African nation?
I’m Jamaican. Born and raised and most of the people I interact with, in and out of school, don’t want to be associated with Africa. Most Jamaicans think being African is below them and that has to do with how Africa and Africans are being presented to us. Jamaican people think Africans are poor, black magic believers etc. Rastafarians and the maroons do uplift the view of Africans and they do not hesitate to identify as Africans. We are taught in school about our heritage but that’s it. Most Jamaicans neglect the teachings of Marcus Garvey and other pan Africanists. They literally look down on Africans.
Yes there are exceptions.
I’m a proud Jamaican. And I also identify as African. I may not know exactly where I’m from but I still see myself and other Afro-Jamaicans and as Africans.
@@sheashola5008 it’s not most Jamaicans. I don’t know where u are from but most of us identify with our African descent. U sound like u weren’t even raised in Jamaica cuz the obsession with the African verses Jamaican thing is obviously a oversea thing.
I’m confused. Most Jamaicans I’ve met are really cool and very proud to be Jamaican but also proud of their ancestry. I’ve never heard a Jamaican deny being of African decent. So what is there to debate? I’m African btw. I always felt like Caribbean’s out of all people that decent from Africa acknowledge that fact the most. Americans don’t say they’re European but their ancestors are so.. I don’t get it. Let people be proud to be where they from.
@@naomibeautymind6226 I very much agree. U know we are African but we are Jamaican before anything
@@janelr1134 Jamaicans don’t deny their ancestry. You can’t deny something that’s quite obvious. But it doesn’t go beyond the historical context. Jamaicans get offended when you refer to them as Africans (and you can see that in most of the comments). I’m from Trelawny btw. Went to Westwood High School. I’m an Sub-Saharan African History, and a public health major in college.
Yes we have our own national identity and as Jamaicans we are a very proud people. But look at the difference between how a Jamaican national view their relationship with Africa vs. someone from the Rastafari movement, a Pan Africanist, and the maroons. It’s very different.
In the US and countries like it, race, culture and ethnicity are discussed heavily compared to Jamaica and other Caribbean countries. One reason being that the cultural, racial and ethnic differences are on a much wider scale in the US. Yes Jamaica says out of many one people, but majority of us here have a similar cultural or racial background.
When Jamaicans are referring to being Jamaicans they are referring to their ethnicity (culture) and nationality. The Jamaican Culture just like other Caribbean islands' and West Indian culture has accents of African culture but is not entirely made up of African culture but rather a mixture of the many ethnicities that was brought to those islands and mainlands. I'm Afro Guyanese meaning I have African heritage and am proud but culturally I'm not African but Guyanese due to being raised in and practice the Guyanese culture the same applies with Jamaicans.
🇬🇾
Referring to their nationality and cultural heritage*. Not their ethnicity. Nationality does not = ethnicity.
Well said.
Jamaica is a melting pot of different racial and ethnic groups. This statement shows that they don't understand the Jamaican history.

As a Jamaican, most Jamaican's know it's pretty damn obvious our ancestors were from Africa( taught from primary school). Like most black people in the Caribbean, same with Asians. But as an island, our culture is a melting pot of other ethnicities. I feel like Black people especially though, (US or England born) over generations, or moved, have been increasingly obsessed with the idea of coming from Africa when I know some of yall can't even name 5 countries on the continent. A majority of black Jamaican's are of Nigerian descent(proven), as white Americans are of European descent.
chile one time its ghanian and one time its nigerian i be so confused, just say we come from every west african country atp 💀💀
@@tsuyuasui7297 at the end of the day its hard for most black caribbean people to state exaclty where their African lineage came from. So the majority of them would say they come from Ghana and Nigeria. But you have to remember that these countries had the ports where the slave ships would sail from. So essentially slaves could have been taken from any African nation, but ultimately they were brought to the west coast to start the journey. That's why when you go to Jamaica you can see the mixture of Africans
This is when DNA testing can be helpful. I’m Jamaican, and I found out I have Nigerian cousins (mostly Igbo). My Ghanaian percentage was very low.
I would recommend taking a test if you’re serious in wanting to know where in Africa you can “connect” to.

As an African American, I felt like the Jamaican question was awkward. It’s the same concept with AA. We’re from Africa but where in Africa ? We don’t know so we just say it to say it… but we weren’t raise with African culture, we’ve never had African cuisine. We don’t party to African music, and we aren’t taught a lot of African history in school. So we’re truthfully just acknowledging the fact that we don’t know who or where we come from every single day. But what we do know is how to be American. How to dress American, speak English, and eat American food. So why must we have to acknowledge it? I identify as AA, just food for thought.
You don’t party to any African music 🤭
@@itiswhatitis5666 it’s not the music we gravitate to. A couple of years ago American stations weren’t playing African beats on air. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy it , I’m just saying if I go to a party , that’s not what’s playing. Because that’s not what we’re accustomed to, it’s not in our American culture.
as a caribbean (from dominica, barbados & guyana) i agree with most of what u said. neither of us know where we're from, so it's kinda hard to claim being african. especially when there's so many countries in africa (50+) it's like where do we start lol.

Sorry but it’s so ignorant when people try and remind Jamaicans EVERY SINGLE TIME that they’re African. We know? It’s our ancestry however if we want to claim our culture let us be. We understand where we came from but it’s so disrespectful when people try and wipe our culture and island away from us just based on ancestry and irs like they only like to remind Jamaicans?
I'll give my perspective as an east African. I feel like the Africans who want Jamaicans/Caribbean people to identify as African are just insecure in their own "africanness". Although Africa is a continent with numerous cultures, east Africa is very different from north Africa but, it is often regarded as one type of mixed culture. And if you ask outsiders about "African culture" often, the first image that will pop into their heads will be starving children, poverty, poor healthcare and education system, disease e.t.c. But if questioned about Caribbean culture,such images do not arise. There are more positive images, beautiful beaches, friendly welcoming people, music running through the streets etc. So I think some Africans in turn have some kind of insecurity or jealousy. "Those Caribbeans think they are better than us cause the white people said so, no they are just as black as us. They should remember that they are just as low as us cause they also came from Africa." That's kind of the feelings of the ones who want you to identify as African. Don't take it too seriously though, look at it as an appreciation of your culture. They envy your culture so bad they want you to throw it away so you can "be on their low level".
Also Jamaicans are known for their athletic abilities in sprinting. There aren't any African countries that are well known for sprinting (Kenya and Ethiopia are known for long distance though, but it is well known that sprints are more watched than long distance)so that is another source of jealousy for some Africans.
@@biancambera2929 I agree, but it is also to humble some Caribbeans who believe they are superior to Africans for those same reasons.

The Jamaican part was bare awkward 🤦🏾. At the end of the day us Caribbean people are African descent. Just like how Ugandan people are east African or Nigerian are west African. The problem is the wording cuz the Caribbean isn’t situated in Africa, so when you say your African it feels like you’re taking away our culture. Also, we are from many African nationalities, therefore we can’t claim exactly what part, which is why again we should be addressed as African descent. Simple
I’m confused. Most Jamaicans I’ve met are really cool and very proud to be Jamaican but also proud of their ancestry. I’ve never heard a Jamaican deny being of African decent. So what is there to debate? I’m African btw. I always felt like Caribbean’s out of all people that decent from Africa acknowledge that fact the most. Americans don’t say they’re European but their ancestors are so.. I don’t get it. Let people be proud to be where they from and their culture.
@@naomibeautymind6226 With white people they are kind of like at the top of the racial hierarchy so people don't really ask them to identify with Europe because whether they are Australian, European or American they are still white, meaning that either way they will still be at the top. But with black people, the ones who are outside of Africa, you'll find many Africans telling Caribbeans to identify with Africa. Reason being even though black people are at the bottom of the racial hierarchy, there is still are hierarchy within that in terms of "culture". White people view the Caribbean in a more positive light than Africa. With the Caribbean the first image that pops up into their heads is visiting lovely beaches, lovely people, beautiful music etc. But with Africa it's poverty, diseases, poor healthcare etc. So I think some Africans are jealous that you guys are viewed in a more positive light, so they want you to identify with Africa to remind you that "No you are still African, don't go thinking you are different from us and better because the colonizer said so." It's something like that. (I'm east African by the way, Kenyan to be exact)

@@iamcl4wd33n3 smart one 🤝
Africans aren’t just African, they’re Nigerian, Congolese, Ghanaian, Ethiopian etc etc being African doesn’t completely describe them because their individual countries carry different traditions and cultures. West Indians are African by descent but culturally we have something different.
Baby mum is higher than your WIFE? And the same level as your wife if they both have kids? the wife you claim as your equal? The wife you accept in front of god? Doesn’t that make you below your baby mum too then? 🤣… a woman who marries a man like that is gunna suffer! Why leave your baby mum? Should’ve married her instead of someone below her 🤨🤦🏽♀️
Look after your child 100% because that is your relationship and responsibility towards the child. It should be your kids, wife and then baby mum but maybe I’m old school 🤷🏽♀️
Millennials are mad 🤣🤣
Totally agree with you.
Even with the example Nella gave, why can't the man take care of the child with his wife until the baby mum is in a better place or can get back on her feet. Use that 25k to secure the house for you and your wife, your child and your future kids.

I don't understand the statement of African Americans have no idea where they're from/origin bit when their foundation is the same as Jamaicans? If you ask a Jamaican in Jamaica where they're from, they will say a city/town in Jamaica. If you ask a AA where they're from they will say a city/state in the US- how does that differ from Jamaicans or any other Black group in the Americas? Ultimately, Black People based on dna/genetics are African but many are not African by culture/heritage.
on another note- Beyonce is an Icon on her way to becoming a legend. She does not need number ones or even sell tons of records at this point in her career. Her impact in for the last 22+ years is enough.

@@anabean1101 about what she said about beyonce?
thank you omg !!
Exactly!!
Not all Jamaicans are African people because as the motto says "out of many one people" so you'll have people being born in Jamaica therefore being Jamaican but can originate from China, India, etc.
Was just about to say this!!
Then they are not Jamaican, they’re Chinese, Indian etc. Why are black people so inclusive of others when they aren’t inclusive with you? That’s why white Americans are simply called ‘Americans’ but black Americans are called ‘African American’. That’s why black people are referred to as ‘British’ and not ‘English’. The term out of many one people enables these nations to take over with the guise of being ‘Jamaican’.
@@lacianstewart5585 hence the term Jamaican is with reference to the Jamaicans ‘shipped’ there who are now the blood and soil of the Jamaican nation today. This term does not refer to you. Also, it is a myth that all natives died in Jamaica.

As a West Indian who's lived my entire life in the Caribbean and lives in Jamaica....being from our respective islands is our culture, it is what we know - that culture is based on our country's personal experience as colony, our people are products of our ancestors ; Africans AND other countries. Being from a Caribbean island is not the same as your parents being directly from an African nation. We have similarities but we aren't the same. There are Jamaican's and West Indies who have no African heritage at all and many who do but we are not African, we are West Indian.

Aw this was so funny I love it lol. All jokes aside here's the elephant in the room: *being African was never cool in school so "but you're African though" has always been more of a comeback than a genuine belief!!* Jamaica has it's own national identity that we fought and bled for. *There is no such thing as an "African" language, flag, currency, nationality, passport or even culture.* What part of the MASSIVE continent of Africa shall we identify with? Kenya? Algeria? Congo....Nigeria? Nigeria, Mali, Benin, Togo, and Burkina Faso *was all The Mali Empire at a certain point* ....do people tell Nigerians they are really from Mali? No.....that's stupid.... It's funny because Jamaica was a country BEFORE the majority of African states were even formed! At the end of the day Caribbean's are Caribbean's Nella is a queen and obviously the debate wasn't serious but this convo just needs to die tbh. English people don't get told every five minutes they're really German (it was German tribes that populated the land here).....like we are NOT African in the way that you lot bloody say it. England and Germany literally went to war they didnt say "oh no we are ancestors" like WTF. Australians hate the English and they literally founded their country with English convicts and don't identify with England ONE BIT! They even wanna get rid of the queen. Let it go identities evolve.

But this is the same for African Americans. We literally are forced to say we’re from African when we identify ourselves. But some people choose not to. Some people see it as, “ I was born in American therefore I’m American.” And some people are proud to identify as African American.
@@KaziaTaylor honestly Africans don't claim black Americans at all...atleast Caribbean countries I can agree

Jamaicans are Jamaicans period. Overtime they have developed their own culture and identity. Same goes for other Caribbean countries such as Trinidad and Tobago. We can not be generalized. We have origins from almost everywhere India and China included. To say were African is incorrect, you can say some of us are of African descent.
Every country in Africa has developed its own culture and identity. Too many comments are generally referring to Africa as though it is a country it is a continent with 50+ country all as different as the other

@arianna bolea 🥭 Lol right and even them - a lot of them can tell you their great great great somebody came to America from Sweden, Scotland, etc. They weren’t forcefully brought among millions of West and Central Africans speaking diff languages, having diff cultures, being forced to do God knows what and managing to create an entire culture of their own over the years? Like I really don’t understandddddd what ppl want from African Americans??? Magical intuition?
Some people have a very warped perception of black folks in the U.S. Some are aware- but may feel as though their “home country” was colonized- yet they know where they are from. But they forget-the U.S was once a part of Britain:13 colonies- and slavery occurred there as well( and all over the world). Lots of people don’t know due to no fault of their own-only certain facts were savored via oral traditions, and there are certain parts of history that some governments/institutions would prefer to keep hidden. So- yes you’ll get I’m from Brooklyn- and my family is from this southern state( and I am of African descent- what country, what tribe- Idk).

Jamaicans know we are genetically African. Some more than others. It’s in our music, in our food, in our dialect, HOWEVER, we take pride in our history and identity as Jamaican people. Why this bothers some people, I will never know. No one vilifies Australians for not identifying as British or white South Africans for not identifying as Dutch, but when a black Jamaican, who grow up in Jamaican culture, and knows nothing else but that, says they’re Jamaican and proud, people wanna say “remember where you came from?” Like our European surnames don’t remind us of how we came to be?
Right!
Right and the history for us is DIFFERENT we were literally forced to forget our African ancestry. It was erased and stolen from us. We were mixed with countless other ethnicities and cultures and as a result created a new culture and identity. Centuries later we must forget it and claim something that we can’t necessarily identity with? Stupidness
@@valeyzia1632 Exactly. Only thing I’ll disagree with is your point about us being mixed. Although that is true for some, most Jamaicans are 90%+ African and aren’t as genetically mixed as some of us claim to be. Culturally however, yes. Our food and dialect is influenced by Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Europe.
This obsession with policing how Caribbean people, specifically Jamaicans, choose to identify is a very weird one lol
God bless you for being so correct 🥰

Nella not all Jamaican have African ancestors. Every Jamaican that are black are intact with their African roots and our history about slaves are thought in school. Jamaica is a nationality not a race so When ask a Jamaican or any Caribbean country what they are they are going to say their nationality because they didn't up focusing on races saying african Jamaican, indian Jamaican, Chinese Jamaican. They just grow up coming as one knowning that they are just Jamaican, but understanding they are from African descendants, indian descendants, Chinese descendants etc. It's just not what we are use to.
Thank you for saying this because it pains me when people try to argue with me about where I’m from. I’m from Mauritius and my ancestors are of Indian descent. Being brown doesn’t make me Indian, my origins are from there and that’s it. People need to educate themselves more!
@@shroff3417 yeah and what I hate is when they ask us and expect us to say African but we say the country we were born in. If you want to know what race I am which is a stupid question cause if you look at me and see that black common sense would tell you I'm from African descendants.
Some Africans don't like it when African Americans say they come from Africa but they want Jamaicans to claim it on top of their own heritage. You can't take one enslaved group and deny the other because of bad reputation you may also take on.
Jamaican’s don’t have to say they’re African just like Americans don’t have to say they are African
thank youuu! i acknowledge im african but obvi i don't know where so i could never say im african when ppl ask where im from 💀
I will have to respectfully disagree there is no way no how no time at all a baby mother can come before a wife. If she is number 1 all the time then you should have married her or leave me and go back to her.
If the baby mother is down on her luck and she has the kid then the Dad should take care of the child until she get back on her feet. His only responsibility is to his child not the mother. Not saying if she needs a little help she won't have it. But no to her before the wife.
That scenario that Nella mentioned, nope can't give her all the money. We have a family to start and our own house to buy.

Beyoncé stopped making music for the charts because it was so short-lived. She said so herself. She is an album and touring artist. She is in a different league. Anyone can go to number one - everyone from Lil Nas to Doja Cat. Number ones do not equate to talent. If Beyoncé released a solo track designed for the charts, it would go to number one. She went to number one with Megan, which proves she still knows the formula. If she wanted to do that herself, she could. Instead, she is playing the long-game. Most awarded artist alive. 6 number one albums. One of the highest-grossing tour artists of all time. Grossed over a billion in movie sales. Entrepreneaur etc She's in a different lane.
