Here’s my humble opinion. When the host asked that question, he phrased it as if Africa is a country. Africa is not a country. It is a genetically,ethically and culturally diverse Continent. I say this as to answer his loaded question. Black Americans Do identify with Africa but only in the abstract. We are originally from the African continent but we are not African. We are uniquely North American. Just like the First Nations indigenous peoples of the Americas we are the Second Nation indigenous people. We were originally taken from many tribes, cultures and peoples of our continent of origin and then forcefully removed from our cultures through forced breeding,destruction of our own languages, and the forcing of the European culture onto us. Thus black Americans became a cultural group of their own. Created by the people who lived it for self preservation’s sake. While the foundation of black culture will always remain African, everything else is uniquely black American culture. Which is why we are always at the forefront of popular culture all over the world. They like our style, fashion,activism and survival skills and have benefited from it. While at the same time being used as a buffer against us by white Americans, looking down on us and buying into the narrative given to you by the white colonizers that we are criminals, and trouble makers that you should never trust or ally with. Which should be the direct opposite because they are afraid of us. People want to be like us but don’t wannabe like us. And this is the way the colonizers want to keep it. The host has obviously bought into the narrative what American and European white supremacy has been feeding him and he’s trying to put this lie onto this very young woman’s shoulders. She is too young to understand the nuances of that question and the motives behind it.
I don’t want to educate you sir/madam, but please search “social distance between Africans and African-Americans” and you will find enough literature and works of other black people that can add to your vast wealth of knowledge
@ Thank you sir for your reply. I really appreciate it. I’m a 61 year old American black man and know from lived experience. This perceived social divide was created and has been used by the western colonizers to keep friction between primarily black Americans and Africa. We(black Americans)are the only people who, for the most part, don’t have a relationship with the colonizers. We were never colonized. We were kidnapped. Members of royal families don’t come to America addressing black people, kissing babies 👶🏾 and expecting us to throw rose petals at their feet. They know that we don’t give a crap about them and we don’t immigrate to Europe. African nations were “given” their independence by their European colonizers where we had to fight for ours by ourselves. Most African states are only 100 years old at the most. And black Americans have shown All of the colonized countries how to fight for their independence. And that’s when the colonizers realized that we were a threat to their continued exploitation of the wealth of Africa. So they began a worldwide campaign to keep a rift between us including the US government. Africa is waking up and is poised to become a global powerhouse and they are getting more desperate to keep their exploitation going. They don’t want any Wakandas in Africa. And this rift has been used since at least the last 175 years since the American civil war when it comes to western countries. It’s not only just about Africa. Anyone who immigrates to the United States learns very quickly that their prosperity depends on their hatred for black Americans and to gain a closeness to white Americans. They are used as a tool to slow down black progress. Including African immigrants. But the young lady was right about how media coverage portrays African people. Like you don’t know how to handle your own business so you need to have white people to guide you which is a STRAIGHT UP LIE they tell themselves. They are afraid of us uniting.
@@bandxdwaynethis is 100% true and well said. The US government did the same with Haiti. They definitely didn’t want those enslaved people who fought and freed themselves from a global super power to link up with anyone in the British colonies in North American. Everything was done to completely subjugated black people in order to suppress any power they could amass through numbers
Caribbean people too, I mean we do have a lineage which can be traced back to Africa, this is undeniable, but to say we are directly from the motherland after 400 years and many generations 😅yeah its a bold statement, even the African would consider us as foreigners.
@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND Well if you want to be African which in it self is a Whyte man name that's you personally, my great great great grandparents have always been Caribbean from the day they brought us here, we know nothing about their language or culture, they're negros but not the same place culturally, basically I don't like African, and if you don't keep your guard up they'll play that same dirty trick.
@@Blackmank-y6u A person always starts out as a foreigner in a relatively foreign area. Even in the continent of Africa, Africans identify other Africans as foreigners even when sharing a border. Frequency of familiarity changes the status of relationships with any group of people. Just 1500 years ago Arabs were considered foreign in Africa, now they rule most of north Africa.

The answer is because we are not Africans. That is not our culture. In gwneral, we respect their culture, but it ain't us. No adult Black American believes everybody is living in huts. That is a childish thought process. We like Africans, we respect Africans, but that is just not us. We have our own distinct culture that we love and that we are proud of. I am married to an African woman. I love my African in-laws. But it aint because of ignoeance of culture, we are just not that.
True being forced out of the motherland and being separated for hundreds of years its understandable that you are in many ways different from us , here , I do love african Americans and follow many especially those in the spotlight celebrities etc ... its satisfying to see them visiting and some staying in africa , very touching
Not all north American people relate to each other as well as South Americans , Europeans or Asians. Africa is a huge continent with 51 plus countries. People generally relate to familiar situations, things and people. We only relate to each other after we become familiar with each other.
Its important to be honest the situation in Africa is worse than what the media shows, the poverty is real and all the problems exist. Fixing the problems needs real effort and not empty rhetoric. Africans can earn respect by standing up against bad leadership and exploitation and build prosperous nations so that two Africans will not sit in a foreign land trying to validate themselves. The lady is clearly African whose family migrated less than 50 years ago and yet she identify as American when she clearly has family in Africa

I just spent a couple of weeks in Cape Town and being an older Black man from the Southern U. S., on my first trip to Africa, I can totally identify with all aspects of that community especially the relationships between White, Black and "Colored" peoples. From visiting a winery to making friends in a nearby township. They knew some of our heroes, villains, and culture. As I also knew some of theirs. Non Whites moved a certain way in white spaces as a lot of us do here. Black and other non Whites are at the bottom trying to move up the same way here also. The thing that makes a real difference everywhere, is how much money you have access to. Shout out to Langa and One Flow Yoga. The one thing that we all have in common is that life is a struggle for the majority of people everywhere and for the small few, they manage to struggle a lot less.
By the way, the sister did not want to comment to the idea that in fact, there are lot of children who are starving in the USA. There are children who are starving in Harlem, Bronx, Chicago etc. By the way, black people in America are getting shot by the police for being black I feel sorry for them.
Yes, I agree with everything, but I also see that black Americans do not consider black Latinos as simply black, since they were also brought from Africa. Wouldn't this also be a way for white Americans to divide all black people? OK?
