They have the nerve to say Black American culture is violent like there is no crime in Africa lol. Africa has had how many dictators and mass genocides? Also, some African countries have a higher murder and crime rate than some U.S cities.
Saying the N word in my Black Southern Household in the 90’s was equivalent to a curse word and my father would’ve brought out the belt. Today at 30 I have never used the word. So saying that all Black people in the United States say that all the time is a stereotype.
Same in my family. I am from the southeast. Now as an adult it feels so dirty and ignorant to even hear it. I turn off music and exit convos where it is used in abundance
@@citizencoy4393 right but to be honest with you, I barely hear other Black American people even say it. To be real it’s usually the children of immigrants or people that grow up in big cities that have huge immigrant populations that consist of African or Caribbean people.

As someone who lived in France and the UK, and who's mother was in catholic school in Uganda, schooled by white racist nun who called her the hard R, racism was and is still global. Yes you guys are American, native Americans even (this doesn't nagate the fact that the root of your lineage lies with the first men and women from Africa), but white people don't see us a different from one another. Culturally there are differences, but that the same as the differences between a Congolese person and a Uganda or a Nigerian (language, music style, food etc...). If you kiss you teeth, have rhythm, don't wear shoes in your house, call your elders auntie or uncles, have dark skin, and coily hair, we are related. There's more similarities than differences across the board, but the system keeps pushing this fucked up narrative that we should be divided. If we unite, it's wraps.

@@lawrencejohnson743Rap is what you do over a beat. Those two combined together become hip-hop. Rapping comes from DJ’s at parties who would talk over a random instrumentals in the background shouting people out and just talking, the word ‘rap’ originally meant to just talk. Eventually they started rhyming words together to the beat to entertain the crowd to spice it up and then from there it evolved to the rapping to drum breaks and drum loops that we know. This combined with dancing or “break dancing” at the same parties is the essence of what Hip-Hop was. It’s what Hip-Hop supposed to be, but like all things, it changed once it got big.
Adonis why did you say Hispanics and hip-hop in the same sentence. Hip-hop was invented solely by Black Americans. In the beginning, Hispanics didn't even hang with Black Americans. They played their own type of music.

Exactly. The socalled Hispanic didn't come in until after we had invented everything, just like everyone else. What has been hidden from view by white surpremacist scholarship is the fact that we are on a Black planet where a particular group of Black people are literally the civilzers and culture bearers throughout history wherever we find modernity. Heredity has everything to do with a group of people and their inherent traits. This is why everyone tries to tell Black people we are all the same when Black people point out their greatness. No other people are inventing and producing at the level of a particular group of Black people. It ain't even close. Lastly, the Americas are the true old world.

Jin is a leading proponent of the model of recent African origin of modern humans. His research presented evidence that the majority of the gene pools in China originated from Africa. His team analyzed the Y chromosomes of males around China and compared this group with those of Southeast Asians and Africans.😮 This message is to Adonis and others who can't just do simple research. There is a video on youtube of researchers explaining Asian DNA connection to Africa. You all love to joke about the truth when it's real. The Khoisan also known as the Khoi Khoi , San or Bushmen are a group of non-Bantu Africans. They have Asian features - high cheekbones, slant eyes and light skin. They are found in Southern Africa - Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Do your research before jumping down other foreigners throat about history please and thank you.

the Africa situtation wouldn't have even been brought. We all have stuff to learn and he proved his point. The interviewer himself says that what they put in the books please so rewatch that to where talk about what the books say.
I was born in Africa, I moved to the US 20+ years ago. Black Americans are not Africans, of course Black Americans descended in Africa but they’re definitely not Africans. The same goes with Jamaican, Haitian and other Black Caribbean. If we can call Black Americans African-Americans then why don’t we call the White Americans European-Americans?
They do. We are of African descent. And African-American is a term that has nothing to do with you because it's a distinct ethnic group with it's own makeup and you don't get to move anywhere and tell people what to call themselves. Just like Asian-American some who are part white and 5th generation someone newly from China does not get to move to America and tell people what they can call themselves. And genetic studies do use the term European-Americans. But they usually break it down to Irish-American, Italian-American etc. Because most Americans origins came from Somewhere else you use the origin then the nationality. It's not hard.
Do people from France move to Canada and tell people not to call themselves French-Canadian? No, because that is it's own culture by now that started centuries ago that no one gets to try to change. But Afro-Jamaican is also a term just like Indo-Jamaican.
Black American culture is soul food, family reunions, Memorial Day, Black History week/ Month/ showing love to our Ancestors ,root work,civil rights, thousands of inventions and industries worldwide like electric lighting, hvac,and at home security systems etc etc😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Perhaps some of us are unaware that Black people ie Shemites ie Israelites ruled Europe up until the 17 and 18th century. This is what he was referring to. The slave trade was about war and ethnic cleansing. I write as someone who is immune to white surpremacist scholarship. Shalom from the House of DAVID and Marlborough 👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🪶🌽💜🙏🏿
black british don’t have these opinions about cultured Africans using the n word. In fact they like the exchange of culture. Both black British and African British are more way culturally similar than AA. Also similar to carribeans. They like the same things like football. ⚽️ As a Nigerian American blacks don’t have these opinions AA had in the video about me either even tho my name is completely Nigerian. So it’s pretty obvious to me most don’t believe things like being called just American. In fact I’ve seen it. Altho I completely respect someone who wants just that. Doesn’t bother me. Opinions are there for a reason. Ugandan was most intuitive more willing to compromise. But other African and American most of what they’re arguing does not being any value to any other lives. But it is interesting nonetheless to see how some feel. Altho it is kinda sad that some don’t understand what it will take for the world to respect people of African descent. I’m only saying this to make you think, if AA’s aren’t of African descent don’t come to Africa when like their music scene some of their countries become world powers. It is already happening. But then again you have a right to every continent on this earth as we are the original creation of God(no shade to other races, but I would assume that’s why they are so obsessed and insecure about black people)
Man, African-American have a long way to go. We do have some that starts to travel and seeing there is a whole other world out there where people don't even know what hip-hop is. Heck most white people in America don't even listen or partake in this whole hip-hop stuff.
I just subscribed. These type of conversations are very interesting. I’m a very dark complexion American and my dad was born in Antigua but I have lots of love for my African people. I actually plan on moving to Ghana one day soon. I understand the urge to distinguish between A Americans and Africans but I don’t understand why it has to be done negatively from both groups.
In South africa we experience Apartheid...so what do you mean we not Black? When here in South Africa we were separated with our own color of skin..Have you heard of Nelson Mandela?...
As a kid I had to read the book Kaffir Boy and learned about the Apartheid in South Africa. My parents had me reading all kinds of books because they didn't want us relying on the American school system that tells his-story.
Disclaimer: I’m a South African, we love & respect Black Americans and their culture, we were inspired by it ourselves, and it helped us in a lot of ways. So believe me when I say I’m not trying to start a fight with the question I’m about to ask, I’m really just trying to learn. It is a fact that each native of a continent, country, island etc has two foudational cultural pillars, language and spiritual/religious practices. Eg: the Scottish speak Gaelic, the Aboriginal people of Australia have their own language and spiritual beliefs, we Africans have our own languages and spiritual beliefs, even the vikings(white people) had their own language and spiritual practices, where they would do sacrifices and all those things. The Asians have their own languages and spiritual beliefs. My question is, If there were original black people in the US excluding native Americans(red indians) because it is known they have their own language and spiritual beliefs, what is the original language of black Americans and what are your original spiritual/religious practices/beliefs. AAVE is a dialect of English, and English comes from white people, so I can’t really accept that as an answer, and Christianity as an answer is idk, because generally white people used Christianity as a method to praise and worship God, Muslim people use Islam as a method to praise and worship God. And everyone has their own method, and in their own language So please help me try to understand what you mean when you guys say you’re the original black people of the US. I’m really want to understand. Because history tells us otherwise, and your DNA also says otherwise. So I’m really confused
I'm also still waiting for that answer myself. He said Black Americans are the only people that are Black the rest we are identified by our origin of countries infact he said tribes
One of the languages is called Tutnese. Additionally The Seminole ppl and other indigenous Americans aka black Americans spoke and speak their tribal language and English.
@@Asjay35 he actually refers countries as Tribes , he said " Ugandan" to be exact referring to the guy with dreads, but in Uganda, just like any country in Africa there are a good number of tribes , each tribe has its language and culture there are 56 tribes in Uganda....and 120 in Tanzania
This guy interviewing was cool until he started saying the FBA thing. Most black Americans do have Native American dna but it’s via coming here after Columbus.
As a black American who has a lot of issues with how a lot of Africans view us one talking point I don’t like that some black Americans do is say we don’t come from Africa and allude that we are indigenous to America na I’m proud of my African heritage doesn’t matter if I don’t know exactly where I descend from there
Only parts of the land was called africa due to the concept of modern continents not being created until the late 1700s and even then the natives of the land all didn't call their lands africa.
See this is the problem, when they say “we” are not from Africa we are indigenous, if you are from Africa then you are not the “we”. Some of us actually did our genealogy and family tree and it traces back to Indians from Mexico and some Poland ancestry. So no not all of us are African. And yes majority of us are indigenous to America. So nothing to be mad about 🤷🏽♀️
Most africans. Dont no were they c9me from these people were colonized to the max nigeria is 70 year ols out side of that lmaoooooo most could tell u the orginal tribe name or history blk american no much more
No one denying their family roots. If yours from africa then it's from africa. Your making it sound like it's insulting to say it. Now if your referring to the africa diaspora. Then that's a different story and cover all melonated groups outside of the continent. But we left it.
Only one country outside africa can talk about africa cultura and this country is Brazil. Here we have many religions that came from africa, we have food, clothes and many other things.
They sold us , then wanna reap the benefits of what we became without them 😂😂😂 just like a father who never was there and his son makes it to the nba and now he wants to come back around 😂😂😂😂😂 how ironic
@@general2883that’s not the point we’re talking about how Africans gave African Americans ancestors away to the Americas stripped from their culture to creating the most known culture of the world aka BLACK CULTURE/African American culture.
The only notable africans are ancient Egyptians. What history has africans had that changed the world inthe last 2,000 years? West africans? 🦗 when we think of greatness it’s ancient Egypt and the world also thinks like this which is why yts and Arabs are trying to steal their identity. No ones trying to steal west Africans identity but here they go trying to steal ours. That’s why they need to try to Africanize the native black Americans population which aren’t africans and are an amalgamation of three groups of people. They’re so loathsome 😂and boring and they know it and it hurts them. Oh well. Cope harder.😂

No. You are confusing ethnicity and race. There is Black/African American culture which contributes to Black culture, the totality of the cultures of Black Africa & the Black African diaspora. Words have meaning. "Black" refers to race on a global basis. The majority of kidnapped Africans were shipped to Latin America and the Caribbean. The people there often refer to themselves as Black too. They're ancestors have been the Americas as long if not longer than most Black Americans. Again, Black American/African American represents an ethnic group specific to the descendants of enslaved Africans in the United States.
@@SunnyDaysAOK They don't have the range for that type of conversation. There's so much misinformation and defensiveness in their comments. They literally think that 'Black culture' only means them. It's ignorance.
Adonis I think you're a bit uneducated on uk black culture. Black people have been in the uk for the past 500 years too. The history of black people and slavery with the uk lasts a long time for example. The UK had slaves and had black British citizens in the uk, Jamaica ad Nigeria before Scotland was even part of the UK! Just like Americans but they were mistreated and deported back to africa in groups. Queen Elizabeth the first for example deported a group of black people out of England to Sierra Leone. Also some of hip hops founding fathers were Jamaican and hip hop was inspired by sound system culture the same way grime was inspired by Jamaican culture 30 years later in th UK. The banjo is based on an African instrument! Black Americans call sweet potatoes yams because they're similar to the yams that grow in Africa! Black Americans dont need to be considered African and thats okay but black Americans are not the only black culture. In terms of civil rights black people in the uk had their own civil rights and relied upon the testimony of black people from what is now Nigeria to abolish slavery. The civil rights era was inspired by Americans for sure for example we had boycotts and black panther parties in the sixties too but that is an example of how black Americans inspire black people in the rest of the world. America is the number 1 country and has dominated media for a long time, why is it a surprise that black people all over the world are inspired by black us culture when we all went through the same things? And to your point of black British people only having been in the uk for 3 generations, thats true for the majority but not all. Me for example my parents both have nigerian origin, i was born in the uk, on my dads side is a straight Nigerian heritage but on my mums side she was from a group of nigerians that have been here since the 1800s and kept their Nigerian culture, the racism became too much and muly mums family moved back to Nigeria in the 80s and then my parents moved back to the uk in the 90s. I still have family that didn't go back and stayed in the uk the whole time living in Newcastle. I dont want to discredit you but you need to be educated a bit more on uk black culture because the original black British people are still here. And as for the N word situation we went through a similar thing of reclaiming the word. I was called the n word growing up, so was my mum, so were nigerians during colonisation, i can only speak for myself and my people but to be honest bro our histories are more linked than separated in particular the history of the US , JAMAICA , NIGERIA AND BRAZIL. Me for example am from igala tribe in Nigeria, we were a kingdom decimated by the slave trade because of how close we lived to the niger river but our culture still lives in forms from the Gullah people in th US. You even have red rice! Honestly bro i would recommend educating yourself a lil bit more, not hating but i think you would understand that black British experience more and most people in the uk dont really know the history. Sorry for the rant lol but i hope u see this, been watching since you were on the sidemen 😅
The way I see it, is that we’re all related, we came from the same roots, we are all black people and we should act as such instead of trying to tear each other down.

Black is a race, there are different nationalities and cultures among the black race. Haitians, Jamaicans, Nigerians, etc...are part of the black race just like Italians, French, Irish, are part of the whyte race. Black Americans are not the only blacks.

I respected this conversation to a degree. They seem like thoughtful guys and made a couple valid points. Much better than previous interviewees. I hate that people don't know that Black Americans have little impact on and participation in international exploitation. Also, if you're going to represent Black America you better know it's deeper than rap. 😂 That's a genre of music. As Black Americans have our own religious traditions, are own food traditions, history, dialects beyond slang words, and goals which also vary across economic lines. He mentioned the drums in hip-hop and you were supposed to create him. They weren't apart of a "cultural exchange" they came with us, but that would require you to recognize another place of origin. I think there's nothing wrong with identifying as being connected to Africa but people need to know OUR TRIBE is Black American and we're stationed on the other side of the planet. 12:56 also violence is encouraged by socio-economic conditions.

There were 3, 775 Black American slave holders just in the South; and in just one year: 1830. I guess the guys who spun this tale of Africans selling others didn’t bother telling you of black Americans doing worse? Do you guys know who fought against and stopped the slave trade worldwide? No? Well, they were collective efforts of a British lawyer, Granville Sharp and Africans. The first freed slaves arrived in present day Freetown, capital of Sierra Leone. West Africa. Do you really know how slaves were obtained? No? They arrived with shiploads of soldiers armed with guns, cannons and bombs. Often to small settlements where folks defended themselves with mere bows and arrows. Some Africans sold some others. Why should those few represent an entire continent? Because the white man wants to efface the horrors they created. And you eagerly swallow everything; hook, line, and sinker.
Yeah you’re right, we not like y’all, we don’t kill each other here in Africa, we don’t beg for oxygen to breathe, we don’t beg to work, we don’t scream BLM , we don’t go to jail like most of y’all. We free over here

Bc black Americans do, there use of that word is inspired off of black American culture and they have no concept of the merits that word holds when stealing it from black Americans. Crazy how that didn’t cross your mind when writing this comment.
Ppl in general, not just latinos...learn thr N word as part of the English lingo in urban areas, way before they learn it even comes from a negative place. Most urban folks no matter the color, grow up saying it as part of their upbringing and as a term of endearment. Most don't know about the hard "ER" of that word until many moons later when they're old enough to understand and research things on their own.
Yesss and they only hating because African Americans culture is world wide literally our music our dressing our food and the way we talk smh aave is literally in blackpink entire career bts (my favorite Kpop group) most viewed song is African American culture Fromm Michael Jackson dances and disco dressing omg 🤦🏾♂️ the world bows down to African Americans and their culture
This guy does not speak for all Black Americans especially the ones who are very educated about their African ancestry and about Africa as a whole. He obviously need to educate himself more on this topic before challenging Africans or anybody on this subject. Africans were on this planet before all mankind therefore they are indigenous to the earth. All mankind descended from Africa, yes we know they don’t identify as African today but this is the point the young man was trying to make. The guy doing the interview needs to know no matter where he’s born his ancestry still comes from Africa. Five generations is not that far away from the Continent. African cousins can still be located Alive in Africa today. Yes he was born in America these other young men were born in Europe but they are still African there’s not much difference in third or fifth generation. Some of the questions were biased and further creates a divide between black Americans and Africans. We were taught negative things about eachother to keep us separated and uneducated about who we both really are. No black culture is better than the other both have their flaws and good characteristics. Blck Americans may have contributed to the civil rights movement but Africans contributed to the blue print for the rest of mankind. Educate yourself on African identity and major contributions to the world before you interview people on this subject. Let not continue to divide the cultures and focus on United us for the greater good.
African history is also black American history because we are the people that was kidnapped from their family . At the need of the day we’re all family. One group was kidnapped and the other group lost family as a result of the slave trade no matter who was involved in it not all Africans were and most were victims who lost us ( their family). Which they don’t teach is or them. Slavery took place all over the world not just America.
Yeah, if he really thinks like that, he really needs to educate himself before engaging in such topics because they are sensitive. From his response i could tell that this guy does not really know much.
@@Lakesdallah-cu9pz It should be the other way around, black American history is also African history, but now based on the environment it has change to what is call "Black American Culture"
Why compete when you can corporate? There's nothing like superior black and every black person is an African. History of 500years ago is nothing when our ancestors have History of a thousand years ago.
icl im also spanish (nigerian ethnicity). In Spain, I grew up beibg called negrita (which is normal, but i clearly said i was uncomfortable with it - they didn’t care). If you ask AA what struggles they have faced I can 100% name ths same struggles. And im talking about the AA individual, nothibg to do witv history struggles. Black people from all over the world face racism. wherever they go it is likely they will at least once get called the n word. I personally don’t use it, but if i wanted to i would. If i get called it in a derogatory way i can say it whether you like it or not. It doesn’t matter where i’m from. Anywhere i go the first thing they see is my blackness.
Honestly they all need to study more of the history of us as a whole . Both sides made great points, both sides are either too young, haven't studied enough, or just stuck in what they know and don't want to. Really from my upbringing of all sides ..no one is completely wrong but getting to know ourselves I feel will help us all better understand... And yes everyone suffered. Man if you go down that rabbit hole it doesn't stop in the Americas (broad) , Euro, Asia, Afri, etc . We learn new things everyday and there is nothing wrong with listening,learning, understanding , and growing from that. More importantly changing minds once we learn more of that info. Blessed to all❤

This could’ve been a very insightful conversation if both sides would have actually listened to each other instead of listening to respond. All in all I love the videos.

@@f.l.mproductions928 The forms of worship, family organization, music, food, and language developed by African Americans in slavery can all be seen to bear the signs of African traditional culture, as can the architecture, art, and handcrafts they left behind.
I love that you asked about the original black ppl that were brought to the UK as slaves. But better yet what happened to the black ppl and moors that existed hundreds of years ago before these Africans?
There wasn’t enough people of African descent in Europe so naturally they had babies with European and within two generations they end up looking like Meghan Markle‘s child
They either bred into the country or were thrown out when Rome collapsed. North African, Egyptian mesapotomian Greek who were in Spain and Italy the Mediterranean mostly were kicked out for slavery rape and colonising some had married Etruscan and Celt women but pushed or killed those indiginous to west Europe out or ruled with them esp the white Etruscan. Over 600 years they were throw out of Spain and Italy or left that's what happened. UK the Romans never lived with them so left when Rome fell. There were black people always trading in ports of UK but we didn't have hardly any til after ww2 slavery wasn't massively practiced in the UK but were taken for wives and help some mixed son daughter were in the middle upper class but not many, the slave trade was mostly done over seas where the rich made money. The biggest change migration was after the war many African Americans stayed too. Moors joined the Muslim caliphate and were part of translating text to France and Italy to UK the west that educated and brought the enlightenment on.
The ancient black Europeans were exhiled as both political prisoners and slaves. They were sent to Jamaica, Barbados, Montserrat, North America, Guyana and the andes .
@@ebonynaomi1085 they arnt classed as ancient that was from 1600s onwards the ancient was from the Roman period that took over parts of Europe. They weren't just Etruscan and Greek Arab. There were African north African Egyptian too and the Greeks looked European some but they were dark pigment. And they killed an enslaved most indigenous white mostly white Etruscan Celt and Germanic who were in west Europe before the Greeks took over the Etruscan ended up leading with them but the African and Arab Burba was in Portugal and half of Spain and kicked the Celts out or enslaved or married they didn't conquer all of Spain but they were in Pompeii n Sicily in Romsn Italy too which changed the genome because they massively mixed over the 600 years they were there. The Moors in Spain too. But these were conqueres who brought Christianity and islam to West Europe that wás pagan. They enslaved Europeans up to the 1600s they were not enslaved by Europeans in ancient Europe.The European enslaved Africans transatlantic slavory which is what your talking about is not ancient times it was from the 1600s and the Arab African were selling their own.

@@lawrencejohnson743Rap is what you do over a beat. Those two combined together become hip-hop. Rapping comes from DJ’s at parties who would talk over a random instrumentals in the background shouting people out and just talking, the word ‘rap’ originally meant to just talk. Eventually they started rhyming words together to the beat to entertain the crowd to spice it up and then from there it evolved to the rapping to drum breaks and drum loops that we know. This combined with dancing or “break dancing” at the same parties is the essence of what Hip-Hop was. It’s what Hip-Hop supposed to be, but like all things, it changed once it got big.

Exactly. The socalled Hispanic didn't come in until after we had invented everything, just like everyone else. What has been hidden from view by white surpremacist scholarship is the fact that we are on a Black planet where a particular group of Black people are literally the civilzers and culture bearers throughout history wherever we find modernity. Heredity has everything to do with a group of people and their inherent traits. This is why everyone tries to tell Black people we are all the same when Black people point out their greatness. No other people are inventing and producing at the level of a particular group of Black people. It ain't even close. Lastly, the Americas are the true old world.

I was born in Africa, I moved to the US 20+ years ago. Black Americans are not Africans, of course Black Americans descended in Africa but they’re definitely not Africans. The same goes with Jamaican, Haitian and other Black Caribbean.
If we can call Black Americans African-Americans then why don’t we call the White Americans European-Americans?
The media calls us African American. Average black American just say black.
They do. We are of African descent. And African-American is a term that has nothing to do with you because it's a distinct ethnic group with it's own makeup and you don't get to move anywhere and tell people what to call themselves. Just like Asian-American some who are part white and 5th generation someone newly from China does not get to move to America and tell people what they can call themselves. And genetic studies do use the term European-Americans. But they usually break it down to Irish-American, Italian-American etc. Because most Americans origins came from Somewhere else you use the origin then the nationality. It's not hard.
Do people from France move to Canada and tell people not to call themselves French-Canadian? No, because that is it's own culture by now that started centuries ago that no one gets to try to change. But Afro-Jamaican is also a term just like Indo-Jamaican.
White Americans are called European Americans as well.
A good majority of black American don't associate themselves as African American just black.

black british don’t have these opinions about cultured Africans using the n word. In fact they like the exchange of culture. Both black British and African British are more way culturally similar than AA. Also similar to carribeans. They like the same things like football. ⚽️ As a Nigerian American blacks don’t have these opinions AA had in the video about me either even tho my name is completely Nigerian. So it’s pretty obvious to me most don’t believe things like being called just American. In fact I’ve seen it. Altho I completely respect someone who wants just that. Doesn’t bother me. Opinions are there for a reason. Ugandan was most intuitive more willing to compromise. But other African and American most of what they’re arguing does not being any value to any other lives. But it is interesting nonetheless to see how some feel. Altho it is kinda sad that some don’t understand what it will take for the world to respect people of African descent. I’m only saying this to make you think, if AA’s aren’t of African descent don’t come to Africa when like their music scene some of their countries become world powers. It is already happening. But then again you have a right to every continent on this earth as we are the original creation of God(no shade to other races, but I would assume that’s why they are so obsessed and insecure about black people)

I just subscribed. These type of conversations are very interesting. I’m a very dark complexion American and my dad was born in Antigua but I have lots of love for my African people. I actually plan on moving to Ghana one day soon.
I understand the urge to distinguish between A Americans and Africans but I don’t understand why it has to be done negatively from both groups.
In South africa we experience Apartheid...so what do you mean we not Black? When here in South Africa we were separated with our own color of skin..Have you heard of Nelson Mandela?...
As a kid I had to read the book Kaffir Boy and learned about the Apartheid in South Africa. My parents had me reading all kinds of books because they didn't want us relying on the American school system that tells his-story.

Disclaimer: I’m a South African, we love & respect Black Americans and their culture, we were inspired by it ourselves, and it helped us in a lot of ways. So believe me when I say I’m not trying to start a fight with the question I’m about to ask, I’m really just trying to learn.
It is a fact that each native of a continent, country, island etc has two foudational cultural pillars, language and spiritual/religious practices. Eg: the Scottish speak Gaelic, the Aboriginal people of Australia have their own language and spiritual beliefs, we Africans have our own languages and spiritual beliefs, even the vikings(white people) had their own language and spiritual practices, where they would do sacrifices and all those things. The Asians have their own languages and spiritual beliefs. My question is, If there were original black people in the US excluding native Americans(red indians) because it is known they have their own language and spiritual beliefs, what is the original language of black Americans and what are your original spiritual/religious practices/beliefs. AAVE is a dialect of English, and English comes from white people, so I can’t really accept that as an answer, and Christianity as an answer is idk, because generally white people used Christianity as a method to praise and worship God, Muslim people use Islam as a method to praise and worship God. And everyone has their own method, and in their own language
So please help me try to understand what you mean when you guys say you’re the original black people of the US. I’m really want to understand. Because history tells us otherwise, and your DNA also says otherwise. So I’m really confused
I'm also still waiting for that answer myself. He said Black Americans are the only people that are Black the rest we are identified by our origin of countries infact he said tribes
It is not just about DNA. It is about a distinct culture that was created by the American descendants of slaves or Foundational Black Americans.
One of the languages is called Tutnese. Additionally The Seminole ppl and other indigenous Americans aka black Americans spoke and speak their tribal language and English.
@@Asjay35 he actually refers countries as Tribes , he said " Ugandan" to be exact referring to the guy with dreads, but in Uganda, just like any country in Africa there are a good number of tribes , each tribe has its language and culture there are 56 tribes in Uganda....and 120 in Tanzania
This guy interviewing was cool until he started saying the FBA thing. Most black Americans do have Native American dna but it’s via coming here after Columbus.
As a black American who has a lot of issues with how a lot of Africans view us one talking point I don’t like that some black Americans do is say we don’t come from Africa and allude that we are indigenous to America na I’m proud of my African heritage doesn’t matter if I don’t know exactly where I descend from there
Only parts of the land was called africa due to the concept of modern continents not being created until the late 1700s and even then the natives of the land all didn't call their lands africa.
See this is the problem, when they say “we” are not from Africa we are indigenous, if you are from Africa then you are not the “we”. Some of us actually did our genealogy and family tree and it traces back to Indians from Mexico and some Poland ancestry. So no not all of us are African. And yes majority of us are indigenous to America. So nothing to be mad about 🤷🏽♀️
Most africans. Dont no were they c9me from these people were colonized to the max nigeria is 70 year ols out side of that lmaoooooo most could tell u the orginal tribe name or history blk american no much more

No one denying their family roots. If yours from africa then it's from africa. Your making it sound like it's insulting to say it. Now if your referring to the africa diaspora. Then that's a different story and cover all melonated groups outside of the continent. But we left it.
Only one country outside africa can talk about africa cultura and this country is Brazil. Here we have many religions that came from africa, we have food, clothes and many other things.

Black culture is black American culture and every other black society benefited from the progress we make
Facts
No. You are confusing ethnicity and race. There is Black/African American culture which contributes to Black culture, the totality of the cultures of Black Africa & the Black African diaspora. Words have meaning. "Black" refers to race on a global basis. The majority of kidnapped Africans were shipped to Latin America and the Caribbean. The people there often refer to themselves as Black too. They're ancestors have been the Americas as long if not longer than most Black Americans.
Again, Black American/African American represents an ethnic group specific to the descendants of enslaved Africans in the United States.

Adonis I think you're a bit uneducated on uk black culture. Black people have been in the uk for the past 500 years too. The history of black people and slavery with the uk lasts a long time for example. The UK had slaves and had black British citizens in the uk, Jamaica ad Nigeria before Scotland was even part of the UK! Just like Americans but they were mistreated and deported back to africa in groups. Queen Elizabeth the first for example deported a group of black people out of England to Sierra Leone. Also some of hip hops founding fathers were Jamaican and hip hop was inspired by sound system culture the same way grime was inspired by Jamaican culture 30 years later in th UK. The banjo is based on an African instrument! Black Americans call sweet potatoes yams because they're similar to the yams that grow in Africa! Black Americans dont need to be considered African and thats okay but black Americans are not the only black culture. In terms of civil rights black people in the uk had their own civil rights and relied upon the testimony of black people from what is now Nigeria to abolish slavery. The civil rights era was inspired by Americans for sure for example we had boycotts and black panther parties in the sixties too but that is an example of how black Americans inspire black people in the rest of the world. America is the number 1 country and has dominated media for a long time, why is it a surprise that black people all over the world are inspired by black us culture when we all went through the same things? And to your point of black British people only having been in the uk for 3 generations, thats true for the majority but not all. Me for example my parents both have nigerian origin, i was born in the uk, on my dads side is a straight Nigerian heritage but on my mums side she was from a group of nigerians that have been here since the 1800s and kept their Nigerian culture, the racism became too much and muly mums family moved back to Nigeria in the 80s and then my parents moved back to the uk in the 90s. I still have family that didn't go back and stayed in the uk the whole time living in Newcastle. I dont want to discredit you but you need to be educated a bit more on uk black culture because the original black British people are still here. And as for the N word situation we went through a similar thing of reclaiming the word. I was called the n word growing up, so was my mum, so were nigerians during colonisation, i can only speak for myself and my people but to be honest bro our histories are more linked than separated in particular the history of the US , JAMAICA , NIGERIA AND BRAZIL. Me for example am from igala tribe in Nigeria, we were a kingdom decimated by the slave trade because of how close we lived to the niger river but our culture still lives in forms from the Gullah people in th US. You even have red rice! Honestly bro i would recommend educating yourself a lil bit more, not hating but i think you would understand that black British experience more and most people in the uk dont really know the history.
Sorry for the rant lol but i hope u see this, been watching since you were on the sidemen 😅

I respected this conversation to a degree. They seem like thoughtful guys and made a couple valid points. Much better than previous interviewees. I hate that people don't know that Black Americans have little impact on and participation in international exploitation. Also, if you're going to represent Black America you better know it's deeper than rap. 😂 That's a genre of music. As Black Americans have our own religious traditions, are own food traditions, history, dialects beyond slang words, and goals which also vary across economic lines. He mentioned the drums in hip-hop and you were supposed to create him. They weren't apart of a "cultural exchange" they came with us, but that would require you to recognize another place of origin. I think there's nothing wrong with identifying as being connected to Africa but people need to know OUR TRIBE is Black American and we're stationed on the other side of the planet. 12:56 also violence is encouraged by socio-economic conditions. Suburbans listeners of rap music aren't shooting each other and no one blames Nike for gang violence because shooters were wearing black Air Forces. Also Africa is not being built on blood, it's simply being drained.

Do you guys know who fought against and stopped the slave trade worldwide? No? Well, they were collective efforts of a British lawyer, Granville Sharp and Africans. The first freed slaves arrived in present day Freetown, capital of Sierra Leone. West Africa.
Do you really know how slaves were obtained? No? They arrived with shiploads of soldiers armed with guns, cannons and bombs. Often to small settlements where folks defended themselves with mere bows and arrows. Some Africans sold some others. Why should those few represent an entire continent?

This guy does not speak for all Black Americans especially the ones who are very educated about their African ancestry and about Africa as a whole. He obviously need to educate himself more on this topic before challenging Africans or anybody on this subject. Africans were on this planet before all mankind therefore they are indigenous to the earth. All mankind descended from Africa, yes we know they don’t identify as African today but this is the point the young man was trying to make. The guy doing the interview needs to know no matter where he’s born his ancestry still comes from Africa. Five generations is not that far away from the Continent. African cousins can still be located Alive in Africa today. Yes he was born in America these other young men were born in Europe but they are still African there’s not much difference in third or fifth generation. Some of the questions were biased and further creates a divide between black Americans and Africans. We were taught negative things about eachother to keep us separated and uneducated about who we both really are. No black culture is better than the other both have their flaws and good characteristics. Blck Americans may have contributed to the civil rights movement but Africans contributed to the blue print for the rest of mankind. Educate yourself on African identity and major contributions to the world before you interview people on this subject. Let not continue to divide the cultures and focus on United us for the greater good.
African history is also black American history because we are the people that was kidnapped from their family . At the need of the day we’re all family. One group was kidnapped and the other group lost family as a result of the slave trade no matter who was involved in it not all Africans were and most were victims who lost us ( their family). Which they don’t teach is or them. Slavery took place all over the world not just America.

Yes 😂😂😂😂 I gotta use that
@@AnodaWunyou wish you didn’t have the choice
@@AnodaWunwould chose the same if I could 🦅
Why compete when you can corporate?
There's nothing like superior black and every black person is an African.
History of 500years ago is nothing when our ancestors have History of a thousand years ago.
We appreciate how you asked him why he feels it’s acceptable for him to use the n-word.
icl im also spanish (nigerian ethnicity).
In Spain, I grew up beibg called negrita (which is normal, but i clearly said i was uncomfortable with it - they didn’t care). If you ask AA what struggles they have faced I can 100% name ths same struggles.
And im talking about the AA individual, nothibg to do witv history struggles. Black people from all over the world face racism. wherever they go it is likely they will at least once get called the n word. I personally don’t use it, but if i wanted to i would. If i get called it in a derogatory way i can say it whether you like it or not.
It doesn’t matter where i’m from. Anywhere i go the first thing they see is my blackness.
Honestly they all need to study more of the history of us as a whole . Both sides made great points, both sides are either too young, haven't studied enough, or just stuck in what they know and don't want to. Really from my upbringing of all sides ..no one is completely wrong but getting to know ourselves I feel will help us all better understand... And yes everyone suffered. Man if you go down that rabbit hole it doesn't stop in the Americas (broad) , Euro, Asia, Afri, etc . We learn new things everyday and there is nothing wrong with listening,learning, understanding , and growing from that. More importantly changing minds once we learn more of that info. Blessed to all❤
He didnt even wanna admit hes from cameroon he was ashamed
You caught that 😂😂😂😂
@@taniamarie2486 yet tryna force feed us africa while he claims London a place his linage hasn't even even been for longer than 3 generations
Not ashamed at all we Camerounians are discreet that's why simply that search about cameroun history we call us the Untamed Lion
@@andrewsengoulou7479 body language says alot my boy.... getting him to say it was like pulling teeth....and when he did he looked away right after that says alot about how he feels deep down...u can preach that untamed lion shit somewhere esle where was that lion energy when he fled his homeland 2 europe claiming a European nation above his own he mentioned first
@@taniamarie2486 we have one of the strongest diaspora outside Africa. We occupy strategic positions in US, Europe, Russia you or others will never know. You don’t know us. No one person born and bred in Cameroon could ever be ashamed. We aren’t like others who want you to think you are Africans, we couldn’t care less about your existence. Your misinterpretation of his body language is culturally dictated. He showed no signs of shame whatsoever. We gonna treat you and your children the way you treat us; the table is turning. Land over scavenger.
This is a keeper! The point was specific and well reinforced! 🔥🔥🔥
Your hair style is of African origin.
even the mannerism
No it ain’t stop with the lies
@@302cho7 It was copied from reggae artists, which inherently copied from West Africa dada hair style.
@@tigerinthecityalozie2812 but the hairline shape up comes from the American black man!
@@FoundationalBorikenAmericanoFair enough, but we are talking about corn and dreads, and locks. We all took from each other. I have no problem with it.
You ate this 2 v 1 definitely held your own 😂👏🏾👏🏾💯
This black American does not speak for all black Americans on the N word. Just dont use it not matter who you are period.
Honestly… these guys aren’t dumb and said a lot of valid things. Adonis is just stuck on the “I’m American” because he doesn’t want to be attached to Africa when he is in fact of African descent even if his descendants from Foundational Black Americans although they were in America before ,Christopher Columbus they still migrated from Africa. The say African culture has not influenced Black American culture is just simply untrue, which that being said black American culture has also influenced a lot of other black cultures. He’s also right about the civil rights movement, black Americans fighting and dying for their rights had a worldly impact blacks all over the world obtaining theirs. This could’ve been a very insightful conversation if both sides would have actually listened to each other instead of listening to respond. All in all I love the videos.
I ain't. African at all
Thank you!!!! A lot of African Americans forget that we are still African!! We come from African descendants and over time we became African Americans. Just likes how there’s Afro Latinos etc
What exactly what influence did Africans have on Black American culture ?
@@f.l.mproductions928 The forms of worship, family organization, music, food, and language developed by African Americans in slavery can all be seen to bear the signs of African traditional culture, as can the architecture, art, and handcrafts they left behind.
I love that you asked about the original black ppl that were brought to the UK as slaves. But better yet what happened to the black ppl and moors that existed hundreds of years ago before these Africans?
There wasn’t enough people of African descent in Europe so naturally they had babies with European and within two generations they end up looking like Meghan Markle‘s child
They either bred into the country or were thrown out when Rome collapsed. North African, Egyptian mesapotomian Greek who were in Spain and Italy the Mediterranean mostly were kicked out for slavery rape and colonising some had married Etruscan and Celt women but pushed or killed those indiginous to west Europe out or ruled with them esp the white Etruscan. Over 600 years they were throw out of Spain and Italy or left that's what happened.
UK the Romans never lived with them so left when Rome fell. There were black people always trading in ports of UK but we didn't have hardly any til after ww2 slavery wasn't massively practiced in the UK but were taken for wives and help some mixed son daughter were in the middle upper class but not many, the slave trade was mostly done over seas where the rich made money.
The biggest change migration was after the war many African Americans stayed too. Moors joined the Muslim caliphate and were part of translating text to France and Italy to UK the west that educated and brought the enlightenment on.
The ancient black Europeans were exhiled as both political prisoners and slaves. They were sent to Jamaica, Barbados, Montserrat, North America, Guyana and the andes .
@@ebonynaomi1085 they arnt classed as ancient that was from 1600s onwards the ancient was from the Roman period that took over parts of Europe. They weren't just Etruscan and Greek Arab. There were African north African Egyptian too and the Greeks looked European some but they were dark pigment.
And they killed an enslaved most indigenous white mostly white Etruscan Celt and Germanic who were in west Europe before the Greeks took over the Etruscan ended up leading with them but the African and Arab Burba was in Portugal and half of Spain and kicked the Celts out or enslaved or married they didn't conquer all of Spain but they were in Pompeii n Sicily in Romsn Italy too which changed the genome because they massively mixed over the 600 years they were there.
The Moors in Spain too. But these were conqueres who brought Christianity and islam to West Europe that wás pagan. They enslaved Europeans up to the 1600s they were not enslaved by Europeans in ancient Europe.The European enslaved Africans transatlantic slavory which is what your talking about is not ancient times it was from the 1600s and the Arab African were selling their own.
@@ebonynaomi1085 they cancelled my reply the transatlantic slavory isn't ancient. Rome is ancient and pre ad.
Everyone is African we are not talking about the start of civilization he is talking about the last 20 thousand years
Everyone is not African
There is only 1⃣ original Human Being's👫🏿 and that would be Black African people👫🏿 they stand alone no other can stand with Black African people👫🏿 Black African people👸🏿🤴🏿 are the only original🗣 people🗣 on this planet🪐 earth🌄 if you find another let me know prove me wrong @anthonyeanes2550
Everyone were Black African people from the start
I guess Adonis missed Drill rappers and certain gangsta rappers bcuz music is highly influential and has led to violence
This is a debate that is a long time coming, and I am here for it!
