I’m Cape Verdian and African and I love my African brothers and sisters. Don't judge us by the opinions of some people. That is not the opinion of the entire population.
I've been living in Cape Verde 6 years. I learned to speak Creole and it changed everything. As a white man speaking the language it opened many doors. Best and cheapest seafood is found at the fish market. 1kg of tuna €6.
Wow! You lived in Cape Verde for a long time so you know a lot of things about the country. How many pounds per month you need to live normal life in the city? Is Cape Verde safe for foreigners?
@@mariorico440 Cost depends on your needs. I have a boat in which I live. So no rent costs. I'm sure one can live pretty well with1 to 2k a month. Safe yes. The danger lies in the beauty of the people. That you can only experience first hand
Of course, it opens doors, and access to many of those delusional women. You are in category of their former colonizers, and these people love their former masters
Thanks I appreciate you doing this video. I am Cape Verdean from the island of SAO Vicente..it’s such a beautiful country with amazing people with great hearts thanks for sharing❤
I am positive that the Portuguese started this division among Africans in Cape Verde. Just like the Caucasians here in the US created division, and hatred among our shades of black. They taught us to hate our blackness. I must admit with cape Verde being In the west African region of the continent where the majority is black this approach seemed to have backfired. It is still has the stench of racism. The worst kind of racism in my opinion is self racism. The dislike and hatred of oneself. For example black on black crime in the US. I almost forgot to mention the Rwandan genocide.
I am capverdean living here in cape verde, yes they did the job,but this new generation are proudly afrikan they have been learning ...belive me...We are doing our job here too!
For some reason, I had high expectations that learning more about Cape Verde would convince me to visit. Unfortunately, I found it to be less engaging than I had hoped. The discussions seemed divisive, and I got the impression that some individuals were distancing themselves from their true identity. While every country has its complexities, it left me feeling disconnected from the culture. The terrain seems a bit dry too. To Willie, the presenter, i liked the honesty with your full disclosure. I was however a bit disappointed by how you handled the discussion with the young woman. It seemed like an opportunity to explore deeper perspectives was missed, and I also felt like there was a subtle attempt to distance yourself from your African heritage in favor of an American identity. I was hoping for a more balanced conversation that embraced both aspects of your roots.
The presenter got me messed up when he said that they are more welcoming and less exploitive of tourist compared to.mainland Africans. Lol EXCUSEE ME hoe many African countries has he been to. We are more hospitable and do things from our hearts, but funny enough it's never reciprocated by Western people
Where there is poverty, African people tend to discriminate each other to survive or rebuke further poverty😮😮😮 It is the same in South Afica too. However, it is VERY low of those who look down on other Africans. And they seem to do it with pride😮😢😮😮
As an American, im sure Europe had and still has his hands on Africa..They carved it up, own the land and people on it..That dominant financial influence over Africa's wealth , it leaders, and its people has a huge affect on their economic woes.. You need to report the history, and not just complain..
You are the one complaining, not me. Cape Verde has a deep relationship with Europe, and it has worked for them. At the end of the day, leadership and culture are the deciding factor in a country's success, not a foreign boogieman.
And you Americans have your hands in every corner of the planet distabilising every region militarily for a sake of control and greed. You guys are the problem and always been.
@grateful9672 that strange the country not even far away from Africa and their language is mix with African yet they think they ain't African. The Portuguese did a good job on them

We need flights from Barbados to Cape Verde. It would make tourism in africa more accessible. Same goes for the Seychelles. Barbados is the closest Caribbean island to Africa. It actually looks like a tiny africa upside down. Check-out the map of Barbados.
Willie Fungo thanks for the vlog new sub here..... you simply explain so well and felt like we toured together in the islands....... more life to you to keep educating nations with such informative pieces
In the 1960s ,70s and 80 s Cape verdians invaded Sénégal in search of good living conditions. They were mainly painters . Thousands of them were welcome , some of their descendants are still here in Dakar in some neighbourhoods. Even the current Mayor of Dakar is of Cape verdian origins. Most Senegalese had the same stereotypes towards capeverdians . The same they have currently vis a vis Sénégalese. 😂 Then Cape verde was dirt poor
As a Nigerian I didn't even know an island called CV existed until the governor of my State married one in 2007, and I had to look at the map. A lot of Nigerians are not even aware that the island exist.
😂😂😂😂 All my life as a child, when i heard of the island, I used to think the island was located in the south of Africa. Just last year I was surprised to know it was located in West Africa.
Just stumbled onto your channel and honestly, I think you're the most informative traveler I've come across. You're delivery is very detailed and "listener friendly." 🙏🏾
I am from Mozambique, also an ex Portuguese colony. Cape Verdeans were employed by the Portuguese colonial government as government employees in a complicated burocratic System. That’s because most Cape Verdeans were literate and had basic Portuguese education degree. Same for Goans (Portuguese India). Those Cape Verdeans that managed to get a government employment usually chose to migrate to another Portuguese colony because Cape Verde was so poor. Most prefered Angola, a very rich territory. Finally, in 1975 when it gained independence, Cape Verde had the highest literacy rate of Africa. 90% of the population could read and write. Also all Cape Verdeans have Portuguese blood running in their veins.
You should read the journal of Vasco de Gama .... it will shock you what he found when he came to Moz... trust me im from moz. Try not to read the revised version.
@@TimSerras if they really have Portuguese blood, then why ain't they accepted in Portugal? In Portugal they are seen as regular black African people yet in Cape Verde the masses remain confused about their African identity. Cape Verde ancestors are products of Portuguese raping African women.
@@TimSerras you say that Cape Verde people have Portuguese blood running through them like it's a badge of honour. A lot of them are products of Portuguese grape.
Have been to this beautiful country,when I went for a job at cavibel.Which to go again my stay in praia was amazing beautiful people nd nice places to go 😍😍😍
Although Portuguese is our official language, most people in CV use criolo to communicate, and some older people can't even express themselves well in Portuguese. It is not a form of discrimination, we use kriolo everywhere, starting from our home, and we use Portuguese in more formal situations such as media, press, school, etc. I learned Portuguese at home but a significant amount of capeverdeans learned it in school, so when people speak criolo they aren't refusing to speak Portuguese or discriminating others. It is also about how we value our own language that actually came from resisting the Portuguese slave owners and colonizers. In the past, we were forbidden to use it. Regarding the dating scenario, we Capeverdean people prefer to date among ourselves, not sure if that's bad or not but that's what we prefer unless when we live abroad or on more tourist islands. About the locals not dating some street vendors, well I think the dating scenario for them could be hard in many other countries, not only in Cape Verde but I'll agree that some individuals can indeed be xenophobic (which is the minority).
I did say it might be because they don't speak Portugese very well. And Cape Verdeans are free to date whoever they want. I'm just presenting the information, not making a value judgement.
these street vendors in cape verde they are from SERRE tribe in senegal and they are musilum,they didnt go to cape verde for looking women senegal has more women than cape verde,even europians know senegal more than cape verde

Willie nice work bro 👍🏽👌🏽you put Africa out there beautiful place Your channel inspire me to visit Uganda 🙏🏽 When you going back to Uganda 🇺🇬 Rwanda 🇷🇼 area Any info about links for Uganda?
You mention that unlike African Americans, Cape Verdeans don’t follow the one drop rule in which those of mixed heritage are automatically identified as Black. I just wanted to note that both the one drop rule and the Cape Verdean system, which goes by the color of their skin, are remnants of Racism. In the American system the whites discriminated against those of mixed heritage who they thought had their blood poisoned by blackness and were not considered white. In the case of Cape Verdeans it’s self discrimination, in which those with lighter skin idetified as white which would give them advantages and privileges in society.
The islands are more green, particularly Santiago, depending on when you visit, but overall the islands have become more arid and windy before the colonizers came and water invasive species plants is part of the problem, besides rainfall.
Yes, that's right, they have much in common. The Cape Vert creole is one of the influences on the origins of Papiamento as a language because, in the past, people of Cape Vert were brought to populate Curaçao and Aruba
Depending on the time of travel and rain fall you will understand why it's called cape verde (green cape). You found it in a dry season. Also santo antao is where it's really green
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! You gave us the experience of actually being there. And, wow! Totally cool place! Totally cool people! Only one tiny incy wincy is that we love dry and arid! So your description of wanting more greenery didn't match our perception of beauty. We are from the horrendous land of 6 months dark and rain, followed by lovely long Spring days but often still cold to cool, and when our short Summers finally come it can be too humid. Yes, you guessed, England, hence every airport here has endless flights to sunny dry places. Hence the Cape Verde island of Sal looks like a dream! But, we are really delighted to gain the island hopping everyday Cape Verde experience from ya! And, we loved your trip SO much that maybe we should book a long winter holiday to just wander the streets and meet friendly people too? 😎🌅🏖Thank you! Obrigadu!
Another beautifully made mini- documentary. Now that sister fired shots at 16:39, it would be been fair if you interviewed my "manjanco" brothers and get their side of the story.Willie was laughing there 😅😂.Somene commeted that these guys are all about husling and making money and have families back home waiting on them. Hearing her say "preto é preto" shows this is more of a ignorance/classism/usual attitudes toward migrants than bone deep hatred.
I want to thank you and let you know you did a good job. I am a white guy from Boston. I live here in Cape Verde, for the last four years. I am now a Cape Verdean citizen. My journey started 35 years ago. I speak and write in Creolo, even though it is not official. Will be looking forward to more of your videos!

My friend i do understand your point on making this video but all what you did was sell Santiago to the world, there is almost no information about the other islands.
They look very Brazilian to me. The ones i saw in the US i never been to that island in Africa. But also like many in the Caribbean food looks the same.

You don't know what you're talking about. About 90% of Sub-Saharan Africa has a similar culture of kindness, hospitality, lifestyle, etc. Your hate for the mainland, as you refer to, is beyond understanding. Please do your research well
What do you mean by the caption "unusually shapely women" on the beach? Thats bw's NATURAL shape. This is why every other non-melanated female is trying to get our shapes!
Willie, thank you so much for representing us so-called African-American brothers and sisters. Many of us are trying to leave America while many of us can't leave because of finances or criminal history, difficulty getting a Passport, in prison. Me personally am getting a Passport, selling everything, and want to move to Africa. I've always thought that Cape was a part of Africa. As we're the children of The Most High Yahuah we must stop the division amongst black people PERIOD. I love watching your videos and hope to visit Cape Verde soon. Seems like a possible landing spot for me. Shabbat Shalawam! ✌🏿
Just go. It is a 0.01% aspect of day to day life in CV and focusses on the guys that come as economic migrant from the mainland. They push cheap stuff to tourists. Way too much focus on the fact that girls don't date these guys.
Exactly what do you mean by Senegalese bathing habits? In my 12-year long experience the Senegalese shower and change clothes at least once daily. Or are you perhaps referring to the bathing habits of unfortunate Senegalese street sellers sleeping rough in Sal?
Cape Verde people don't know much about Africa hence they don't even know that African come in different shades, colours. West Africa has very dark skinned Africans, North Africa has light skinned Africans, East & Southern Africa have light brown people , that's just different skin colours found in Africa. In South Africa we have white people who call themselves Afrikaaners.
Went I was young we didn’t even know there was a land called cape verde, all we knew was Guinea Bissau, because of Amilcar Cabral, and most of the manjago peoples are from Bissau and without Guinea Bissau there’s no Cape Verde. For that lady saying that they don’t date west African men that’s absolutely rubbish.. in my country The Gambia there are so many manjago’s who are originally from Bissau and Cape Verde and the language they speak is Kriyol which is from Bissau where the origin of the manjako… stop spreading misinformation or should I say propaganda…

@WillieFungo you have touched a lot of nerves with this video. Since you live in the US, have you ever come across any Senegalese? Is this your impression of them? Your response here appears like you are comfortable with someone calling you the N word on the streets of the States. So sad.
Really good video but really shows the ignorant and lack of education among some of the black Cape Verdian,s. If you are black. The likelihood is that you would have come from Africa. I am black but was born in the uk, my parents came from the Caribbean island which was places where slaves would have been dropped off from Africa. African American exist through the slave trade. We as blacks came from Africa . How can black Cape Vedians not acknowledge this. The fact they ended up there was due to slavery and the mixed cape verdians came as a result of the European influence. I notice that the Europeans still have their fingers in the pie of cape Verdi, although it may benefit Cape Verdi to degree, Europeans will also benefit more so.
Hi, I was living in Luanda city -Angola, a beautiful African country. I love Angola the people and everything there, I do not speak much but I can manage the Portuguese language my next trip is Cape Verde.
I never been but I always ask my folks from different countries of Africa, do they consider Cape Verde an African Country & they all say yes. Same when I ask my Caribbean folks. Do they consider Guyana a Caribbean country since it’s not an Island. They say yes🇨🇻🇬🇾 🫡

I have friend in Uganda. Tenho uma amiga em Uganda
Oh.....am Ugandan. Shd watch that clip.
Been to Seychelles and there are alot of similarities with these pple
Ask me about Uganda
You mention that unlike African Americans, Cape Verdeans don’t follow the one drop rule in which those of mixed heritage are automatically identified as Black. I just wanted to note that both the one drop rule and the Cape Verdean system, which goes by the color of their skin, are remnants of Racism. In the American system the whites discriminated against those of mixed heritage who they thought had their blood poisoned by blackness and were not considered white. In the case of Cape Verdeans it’s self discrimination, in which those with lighter skin idetified as white which would give them advantages and privileges in society.
The islands are more green, particularly Santiago, depending on when you visit, but overall the islands have become more arid and windy before the colonizers came and water invasive species plants is part of the problem, besides rainfall.
@@mogotsi_ Santo Antão is green too
Reminds me of "i no black i dominican" 😂😂😂 As the guy calling West African men simps looked in the mirror lately? You don't exact scream masculine 😂
I don't care how masculine you think I am. Just shut up and watch the videos 👍🏿
@@WillieFungo😂😂😂😂Dude 😎 wtf😂
Typical blk americana
I hear you D.R 😂
That was a stupid way to describe an entire region@@WillieFungo
Bondia, Bontardi, Bonoit same like Papiamento language on Curaçao, Bonaire, Aruba in the Caribbean
Yes, that's right, they have much in common. The Cape Vert creole is one of the influences on the origins of Papiamento as a language because, in the past, people of Cape Vert were brought to populate Curaçao and Aruba
Depending on the time of travel and rain fall you will understand why it's called cape verde (green cape). You found it in a dry season. Also santo antao is where it's really green
@@ReadyMeta1 I said all of this in the video?
Indeed, my bad
i'm Cape Verdean , where Sub Saharan Africans , Portuguese Conquistadors mixed with us when they colonized us back in 1492
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! You gave us the experience of actually being there. And, wow! Totally cool place! Totally cool people! Only one tiny incy wincy is that we love dry and arid! So your description of wanting more greenery didn't match our perception of beauty. We are from the horrendous land of 6 months dark and rain, followed by lovely long Spring days but often still cold to cool, and when our short Summers finally come it can be too humid. Yes, you guessed, England, hence every airport here has endless flights to sunny dry places. Hence the Cape Verde island of Sal looks like a dream! But, we are really delighted to gain the island hopping everyday Cape Verde experience from ya! And, we loved your trip SO much that maybe we should book a long winter holiday to just wander the streets and meet friendly people too? 😎🌅🏖Thank you! Obrigadu!
Thanks for your wonderful comment!
The name Cape Verde is not for that Country, but for Dakar, Senegal's capital that used to be green with a lot of tree!
Exactly Senegal is called the Region of Cap-Vert.
@@dominiquebala2475 yesir
Really?
@@tundebakare6887 yes sir! Of course now it is given to that country. Which is ok!
I trust my Nigerian brothers..we will always have our way.
Nah, y'all just an annoying bunch, going to every country and disrespecting every fabric there 🚮
Another beautifully made mini- documentary. Now that sister fired shots at 16:39, it would be been fair if you interviewed my "manjanco" brothers and get their side of the story.Willie was laughing there 😅😂.Somene commeted that these guys are all about husling and making money and have families back home waiting on them. Hearing her say "preto é preto" shows this is more of a ignorance/classism/usual attitudes toward migrants than bone deep hatred.
The darker the berry the deeper the roots

I want to thank you and let you know you did a good job. I am a white guy from Boston. I live here in Cape Verde, for the last four years. I am now a Cape Verdean citizen. My journey started 35 years ago. I speak and write in Creolo, even though it is not official. Will be looking forward to more of your videos!
Thanks!
I hope your intentions are good living there you know your people always have an objective for countries like this.
Thank you for putting on for my country! Cape Verde 🔥
Why don't you stay if it's so great

As a Nigerian I can tell you that it is customary to invite your guests to come and eat. It is practised very well in Northern Nigeria.

There was no need to include Wode Maya in your vid. He is an accomplished vlogger. Much loved by us Africans. Stand on your own two feet.

Amazing review. My 2 largest admix, Nigeria and Senegal. I hav distant relatives of both but we're so different culturally. Maybe one day I will travel to those countries.
You're welcome to Naija 🇳🇬❤
Cape Verde is Africa the people are African.
@@sanchesjojo7294 culturally different.
Indeed so, Cape Verdeans are African (Bantu in particularI) that being said we are by way of Judea, we are Israelites.

Not sure if it's the fish, rice and beans, the climate.., or what, but Sir Mix Alot would have a field day there!
Love those big girls with the thick thighs and bootay!😅
@@allan9603 african genes, what do u expect?
My friend i do understand your point on making this video but all what you did was sell Santiago to the world, there is almost no information about the other islands.
The country of Cesaria Evora
Thanks for telling it exactly as you saw it..
"Senegalese unique bathing habit" 17:46 what is so unique about Sengalese people and bathing? we do shower everyday sir! lol
That is exactly the reason im in the comments right now. 😮more explainations needeed???
@@moulayewade1325 right? he said that like we don't take showers everyday or something 💀
Please ignore the creator's ignorance. So sad.
They look very Brazilian to me. The ones i saw in the US i never been to that island in Africa. But also like many in the Caribbean food looks the same.
@@usmanjohn3267 They are also mixed with Portuguese and Africans as that island was a slave port. Understand history of the slave trade from Africa to the Americas.
@@abdulazizclare9545 true
I love carpe Verde women ❤ all the way from Namibia 🇳🇦
@@Oneboy_world_19 wow was it for u, when u visited there? I'd luv to visit Cape Verde 1 fine day. Am from Swakopmund, so their beach will most definitely attract me.
Thank for this information Cap-Vert the country of xenophobic I'm a Senegales long time i will te Trip here but im leaving this dream 😢
You don't know what you're talking about. About 90% of Sub-Saharan Africa has a similar culture of kindness, hospitality, lifestyle, etc. Your hate for the mainland, as you refer to, is beyond understanding. Please do your research well
this video was the realest shit I've ever heard and you got my sub.
I appreciate that
I assume they don't eat with their hands, so what do they eat with.
with their eyes lol
With their feet of course since they are bas****ds😂😂😂
Ummm…silverware maybe 🍴 😂
they cut their black hands and wear a white gloves lol .. love from Nigeria.
@@lvmsoundwave2923 Even when eating a hamburger?
What do you mean by the caption "unusually shapely women" on the beach? Thats bw's NATURAL shape. This is why every other non-melanated female is trying to get our shapes!
Beautiful virtual tour!!
hey Willie! Good content! still waiting for a video in Assomada
As a British African,I will never go to that country.Probably in Santiago,will call them out.
Why
Willie, thank you so much for representing us so-called African-American brothers and sisters. Many of us are trying to leave America while many of us can't leave because of finances or criminal history, difficulty getting a Passport, in prison.
Me personally am getting a Passport, selling everything, and want to move to Africa. I've always thought that Cape was a part of Africa.
As we're the children of The Most High Yahuah we must stop the division amongst black people PERIOD.
I love watching your videos and hope to visit Cape Verde soon. Seems like a possible landing spot for me. Shabbat Shalawam! ✌🏿
Very accurate video of my country. I'm from Mindelo (São Vicente), sampadjudo.
Thanks!
When the video started, I was hoping to visit for a holiday because it's a beautiful country, but xenophobic comments and all is a no-no!
Just go. It is a 0.01% aspect of day to day life in CV and focusses on the guys that come as economic migrant from the mainland. They push cheap stuff to tourists. Way too much focus on the fact that girls don't date these guys.
Don't judge because of a single person
Exactly what do you mean by Senegalese bathing habits? In my 12-year long experience the Senegalese shower and change clothes at least once daily. Or are you perhaps referring to the bathing habits of unfortunate Senegalese street sellers sleeping rough in Sal?
WTF man?? Cape Verde is west Africa. You make them look like they from different continent…WTF!
Different cultures, for ex. In Senegal people are muslim, and men marry several women. So that is possibly the reason why....
I'm definitely going to visit one day
Well covered sir. Thank you for doing this. I’ve always wondered about this country🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️💛💚🖤
Cape Verde people don't know much about Africa hence they don't even know that African come in different shades, colours. West Africa has very dark skinned Africans, North Africa has light skinned Africans, East & Southern Africa have light brown people , that's just different skin colours found in Africa. In South Africa we have white people who call themselves Afrikaaners.
Not true
what's the population of manjago population in ape Verde... i can hear some voices in manjago from the background
Went I was young we didn’t even know there was a land called cape verde, all we knew was Guinea Bissau, because of Amilcar Cabral, and most of the manjago peoples are from Bissau and without Guinea Bissau there’s no Cape Verde. For that lady saying that they don’t date west African men that’s absolutely rubbish.. in my country The Gambia there are so many manjago’s who are originally from Bissau and Cape Verde and the language they speak is Kriyol which is from Bissau where the origin of the manjako… stop spreading misinformation or should I say propaganda…
Thanks for assisting me, originally from Guinea-Bissau, I have been to school in the Gambia❤🎉
They are planely stupid. The need reverse education. If I live on this small Island I will always let them know that they are too stupid.
Willy what is mandatory?
How do I visit cape Verde. I love this country.
nice information

Creaole is our Language, Portuguese is from Europe!
Creole it's not a language it's a dialect
@@paulocamara4807Africa has many Languages, and Creaole is one of them. What you going to say, when you go to UGANDA. You going to say; that Luganda is not a language. UGANDA was colonized by the Whites (British) and they brought English to Uganda. But, there is (30) languages there. We were colonized by Portugal and Portuguese was brought over and now it's used as a business language. My man, no where in Africa will you find the Original language of that country from its Oppresser. NO WHERE!!!! CREOALE 4 🧬 LIFE!!!!!!
@@cezarsilva4811it’s Portuguese sorry darling
@@paulocamara4807😂😂😂 the dialecto is portugués .espanish .italiano. and fransh .the lingua IS latine .the creole the wolof the mandinko the bambara Ext IS lingua
I'm Haitian our language is creole@paulocamara4807
Black is beautiful and rich
"Unusually shapely women" 😂
That’s crazy to say
Whats ironic is them immigrants ancestors may very well had fought for these island independence especially from Guinea bassau
In Sénégal we call Cape verdians " NGAGNA" or " Purtungagna" . A derogatory term😂
Senegalese calling Cale Verdians derogatory? Lmfao Senagal don't got anything to say to Cape Verdeans with yall dirty assess
What does it mean
It's so sad that some Africans lose their identities, cultures, norms, and their languages.
Sister I like your country cape varde
and in your country Beach and man famouse places I come to cape varde if guide me I really appreciate you
I love Seychelles Island..🇸🇨
😅Senegalese Unique Bathing Habits:
Can we have more explanations about that cuz i think u are missleading others as well my brother.😂
@@moulayewade1325 They think Senegalese people bathe with water bottles and wipe with their hands. I don't know if this is true or not. 😂
@WillieFungo you have touched a lot of nerves with this video. Since you live in the US, have you ever come across any Senegalese? Is this your impression of them? Your response here appears like you are comfortable with someone calling you the N word on the streets of the States. So sad.
Really good video but really shows the ignorant and lack of education among some of the black Cape Verdian,s. If you are black. The likelihood is that you would have come from Africa. I am black but was born in the uk, my parents came from the Caribbean island which was places where slaves would have been dropped off from Africa. African American exist through the slave trade. We as blacks came from Africa . How can black Cape Vedians not acknowledge this. The fact they ended up there was due to slavery and the mixed cape verdians came as a result of the European influence. I notice that the Europeans still have their fingers in the pie of cape Verdi, although it may benefit Cape Verdi to degree, Europeans will also benefit more so.
How I wish I could get a stay ❤❤❤❤
Nex video from Cabo Verde???
Hi, I was living in Luanda city -Angola, a beautiful African country. I love Angola the people and everything there, I do not speak much but I can manage the Portuguese language my next trip is Cape Verde.
Wode Maya is catching strays 😅
"Even the most beautiful women are open and friendly" 🤣
I never been but I always ask my folks from different countries of Africa, do they consider Cape Verde an African Country & they all say yes. Same when I ask my Caribbean folks. Do they consider Guyana a Caribbean country since it’s not an Island. They say yes🇨🇻🇬🇾 🫡
Senegalese people don't want to mix with Cape verdians
Why? They rysixt?
Patrick Vieira is Half Senegalese and Cape Verdean lol
Not true
It looks like a Caribean Country
It don't matter still African
@@francisbrobby4120 Yeah sure
En siglo 8 hasta siglo 14 en ( Portugal y españa ) los afroportuges y afro españoles .y parecieron como los país caribean de hoy en América .y hoy sigue en siglo 21 los afro español y portugués del siglo 21
