I don’t see the full video on your page.
It's 2023 ,and Africans still don't know nothing .....and choose to believe everything they see on t.v.....who walk on gold.all the gold is in your land ,and white folks stealing it....
Scam?
RoadQ😅
What I want to know is who is showing them or telling them this LIE‼️. Because social media wasn’t always around so that can’t be the blame. Many generations of Africans have always felt like this, so where did this come from?
I’m South African and when we were growing up, we thought African Americans were the coolest black people ever and we wanted to be like them 😍
Now that I’m older, I really think they are strong people and overcame a lot. I’m also saddened by the breakdown in family values and community same as I am in my own Country.
All sorts of Africans need each other… bottom line
WP are behind the degradation of the AA communities. The education is intentionally substandard, which really is a determining factor in your future success! Harassment and massive incarceration of AAM, and this does not include the actual criminals. The massive incarceration took men out of the communities but simultaneously promoted gay encounters between men in prisons and outside. These gay encounters result in high rates of diseases, particularly AIDs, because they lie and say they are not gay. AAW has the highest rates of HIV in the country as a result. Grown men raping boys and other men. These men hate their own women and children and help further destroy our communities. WM ship military grade weapons into our communities via trains and tractor-trailers and distributed without cost. Note, all guns are coming from just 6 gun manufacturers and have serial numbers and are highly regulated . The train companies are in on this, including law enforcement.
It is sooo obvious that I warned my boys in elementary school that when they enter middle school, they will be approached and be offered to buy a gun for less than 40.00. I also taught them that that same gun would cost me about three to four hundred dollars to buy legally! I taught them it was the WM trap to get you to murder your own people, which is self genocide ! So fast forward when they got in middle school they were approached and offered 🔫 guns for 40.00 dollars. They turned them down due to my teachings and still do not own guns even though I think that they should look into purchasing them now due to off the chain crime !
This is the same notion of everyone living in different countries. Then they migrate here chasing the American gold dream and realize it’s a lie!
Really Africa has MORE physical Gold than Any Continent in the world....the average African just doesn't have access to it because it's been raped and pillaged by outsiders 😔😔😔
No citizens after the Gold Rush has had any opportunity in America to gain actual wealth off of Natural Resources.... A little Oil here and there by VERY FEW PEOPLE.... but that's it.
They only see the top celebrities hand picked by the Anglo-Saxon
Yes its a dream alright
Statistics show otherwise. The vast majority arrive here and excel on an upwards trajectory while avoiding the perpetual victimhood neurosis.
WHO IS LYING TO ALL OF YALL OVER THERE??!!!!??????!!?? 😂😂😂 someone PLEASE send a ton of African American history books to Africa ASAP 😂

FOR ONE THING THE WESTERN NEWS AND THEIR TELL- LIE- VISION, AND THE PRAPOGANDEST MACHINE, SHALOM
Exactly!!!
TOTALLY CONFUSES ME when the people who really WALK ON GOLD, controls none of the GOLD they walk on, but mine it all????
So called African Americans have NO GOLD. AMERICAN land DOES NOT PRODUCE GOLD.
Hope we learned something here.....
@@full-lifesoil1549 ...well when they see hip-hop and r and b musicians wearing a lot of bling bling, then that's what they'll think...iam not from Africa btw, from one of the 3rd world countries..
@@full-lifesoil1549 Yeah that's crazy how she says we walk on gold, while over there they are literally walking on gold .
African-American people could feel and view African people the same way. Because they live in the most richest land on Earth. Producing all the gold, diamonds and minerals that Western countries cannot survive without. They literally have what it takes to make the entire black race the Royal race of the planet
White people have the knowledge and money to get the gold..you have lived in America for years by now you should have the money and technology to come to Africa and own the gold companies instead of White people
Western countries can’t survive without gold and diamonds…. LOL.
Try eating gold or a diamond… the west has some of the most fertile land to grow things you actually eat…. Try educating your self brother
They have it but their greedy leadership does not have the African people. We don't think Africans are walking on gold, but walking on dirt. LOL
@@jamestalbot1647lol right, plus as of now, the most gold deposited in the world is asia, specifically China, Africa has all these natural resources that the African people don’t have access to, it’s such a dead talking point Because they don’t own any of it😂
@@jamestalbot164760 % of arable land is in Africa!! Let that sink in 😂 !! The people of Africa have been played to believe that their land is useless , most believe it . But all they have to do is stop the west from taking their resources then boom , heaven on earth will be found again!!!
Black folks ARE NOT walking on gold!! A TOTAL MISCONCEPTION!!😩
Most of ADOS African Americans don’t even own 3 ouches of gold truly
They are walking on privilege
Compared to them, yes. African Americans are more prosperous and objectively afforded much more opportunities than Africans in just about every metric….just as she said lol
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO AS THE 12 TRIBES OF YAHSHA'EL BE WALKING ON GOLD IN amerikkka, BUT ALL THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE OURS IS BEING HANDED OUT TO EVERYONE BUT IT'S RIGHTFUL HIERS, PRIME EXAMPLE, THE -ISH COUNTRY AND UKRAINE, SHALOM
Compared to Africans in the conditions they live in, yes they are.
This Senegalese man told me, when he came here 25 years ago, he thought everyone was rich and didn't steal. Well,. that first year, he found out the hard way. He was taken advantage of by a bunch of liars and smiling faces.😌
Well America is not a gold mine you know,😊
Come to America and get shot going to the bank, movies and school. Come walk on all this gold.😂😂😂
Bahahahahahahaha what a lie. 20,000 murders in 2021. Our population is 350,000,000. That’s .0057% of the population. Please stop watching the main stream media. It’s a cancer. And if you live in a high crime area, move. I live 3 miles from Detroit so I don’t want to hear your BS.
Many actually are. Some of the shootings if you Google the name and read the story they maybe Black in skin color but not "African American ". They don't no the law of the land, having the romanticed notions. It's getting them killed to
come to Africa and get CIA Inspired soldiers killing a whole village.
Are you serious come on now stop with the jokes
@@MatteoRusso-is5sw jokes? Pay attention to America’s local news. We are trying to run away from the slave masters and colonizers and you Africans living on the motherland are risking your lives to come and serve the colonizers. Work together, learn from the Chinese. China has never colonized anyone.
This myth is also why so many come with their disdain and disrespect towards ADOS Black Americans.
Uhhhh. As you see, the disdain is grown over there
It was an African You Tuber or on some social media platform said that before they came to America, white ppl were telling them to stay away from black Americans and things like that. There were Africans in the comments telling her to take it down like she was starting mess. I already felt that they were talking down on us to them. I see Africans going to white churches but the city I'm from, I don't see Africans going to church with black Americans . I see some black Americans going to African churches with African pastors. I've even visited. White ppl caused division in the black communities from separating families, didn't want for us to learn and now they bash us for not a lot of black ppl not being in a two family household and make fun of how a lot of us talk..they intentionally caused division in light and dark skin ppl that still is strong today. They've done so much damage and let them tell it, it was so long ago and get over it. Things are still going on. The '60's weren't that long ago and all the marchings that had to be held to be able to get a good education in a school where white ppl went.
As long as they can keep dividing black ppl and black ppl from Africans, they know they can have some kind of hold on us. When ALL black ppl come together, we would be unstoppable!
As a Black Caribbean i know better to speak on a system that pits us against each other. She should shut up!
You are so right
You can't blame her, this is what we are shown on TV .
This is why we have so much hate among us. Prople run their mouths and don't know our history or what we have hone through.
@@therealgg5050go read a black history book. Hebrews 2 negroe. What opportunity they sit on our nevk just like the colonizer sat on yours
It's what America has pushed for years. This is a great country to follow. It's a superpower and leads the way, etc. Naturally she believed the hype.
The they get to America and work 3 jobs to pay for rent/mortgage, food, taxes. 😮😢
Yess
because we see opportunities, and try to maximise on it like Mexicans. you blow a bag, don't even invest and become millionaire in the richest economy in the world. that's why we think you're lazy
LMAO!
Don't forget the gold chain!
@@doz6521 🤔🤔🤔
I have in-laws in Ethiopia that I visit. When I'm over there the people outside of my family look at me as a walking talking dollar sign. On my first trip there, I made the mistake of giving an improvished kid some money one day while I was walking in the streets with my wife. After that I was swamped with people holding there hands out asking me for money. I learned real quick not to ever openly give someone money in Ethiopia. They think that in america, the streets are lined with gold and you're living in heaven. They dont know a damn thing about life over here until they get here and taste the reality of this life!
Watching American movies make them think a lot of things.
Projecting fake American image to the world by design.
The SAME thing happened to me in Jordan. One woman followed me everywhere I went for days!
That’s why people hate when you complain constantly though because it is actually way easier to make money in America than it is in African countries
@@xander_k_ complain constantly??? Yeah ok Xander…smh
Wait until she finds out about housing discrimination amongst other things lol.
Wait till y’all find out about poverty and other things, you worried about housing discrimination we worried about getting a house
Exactly @@yungify2867
They’d like the ebt,disability and social security benefits though. I know a GMA who raised her daughters 4 kids who was getting money from the state. But meanwhile she used the money for a brand new Chrysler 300 and clothes. The kids had to shop at goodwill though. Sometimes it’s the misuse of funds that puts them in a hole.
It’s funny because many African Americans see you all as rich with nationality recognition, knowledge of homeland tribal lineages, total access to the motherland, birthed rights, citizenship. Knowledge of 4- 6 languages or more.
Please speak for urcellf @The Everyday Man. U can't speak for how many A.A.s see Africans. Ur not in our heads are u?
It's weird how continental Africans care nothing about that
Accurate 🤌🏾
I dont know any Black Americans that see Africans that way 😂

That's the perception America Perpetuates. I've talked to MANY foreigners. Alot of them are given this perception
My fellow African Americans don’t be upset about what she is saying. Billions of dollars is spent against us. They see only what the enemy shows them. When they do come and experience the hate and oppression. I have had Africans apologize to me. Africa is the richest continent in natural resources. They are our brothers and sisters so show them love and patience❤
Some not all
So basically they are stupid?
@@denisebycapricornas an African I could ask the same about you.
@@Waterlily760 africans are stupid. you guys have all the gold diamonds and resources yet still poor and still bowing down to france and other white nations.. give black americans africa, and you guys can have america and we'll turn that contient into a real wakada
😂 you guys wanna be seen as a victim so bad
Who told her that lie? 😂
What is shown by your media showing us the Oprahs, Beyonce, jaz etc, that's why alot has to be done through other media to change the narrative.
The same who (media & propaganda) that told us of the negativities in Africa...
The intent to create division...
The country borders in Africa as well as language chages are meant separate us....
And them separating us in the diaspora the same way is yet another example of division...
So, in our case if we come back, this is what happens...
There is hate and envy...
For no real reason other than false perceptions...

Its a simple perspective. You are priveledged and you need to start realising that
@Sgt.chickens We earned it.. Now, Africans and other immigrants can benefit.
@@Sgt.chickens then take notes and do the same for your home country y'all are mad at the wrong people 🤷🏾♀️
She's one of the many African people who know absolutely nothing about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Her perspective is common. There are elders who to this day don't know what happened to relatives that went hunting and just disappeared generations ago. Now it's like they think there are bags of gold waiting for you at the airport. It's crazy. Black people on this planet need to understand our collective history and our present reality. It's so complex.
Have the "gold?" Ghana was literally named "Gold Coast."
You are losing the point. Pov an average American knee-grow
@@igbotimehopper64yearsago46 What's the point then, bro -- that ignorant motherf*ckas don't know the first thing about Black Americans and the nation our parents and grandparents built, but have the nerve to have opinions about us and it?
Because you got that gold from......
Never mind, mind be too deep for you ...@Siya_karib
We all foreigners thought we would be rich coming to America 😂 or at least close to it “the American dream” , but all I got was a lot of anxiety with the worries and the fast life here. I had a middle class life back in my country and now I have a middle class life here in the States but here I have so much anxiety. In my country I lived by the day, no worries, peaceful. Here I have to pay taxes even after I pay my house in full… in my country after you pay, your house is all yours(not taxes) and cheap health insurance. Here in the States when you think you finally have peace, you suddently get a letter that messes up your day 😂 But my kids were born here and it would be sudden change if I move back to my country with them so I kinda feel trapped 🤷🏻♀️
You would be doing your kids the best favour you can imagine to get them out of a land that hates them and kills black people with impunity. You are not trapped, your way of thinking is.

You should move back so they don’t feel that anxiety, let them live peacefully in ur 3rd world country 😂
They'll adapt with time.
You fleeing here should’ve gave you anxiety. Living here gave you success. You nor your family aren’t stuck here. You love it here. You have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and stop complaining 🤣😎.
Yet she missed all the struggle between all of that and still survive to give her the opportunity to come here .
Who do you think send TV programs to Africa? We grew up watching the worse things about African Americans on TV besides Micheal Jackson and a few others. In Nigeria we see white supremacy living well on TV and the AA not doing well. The white man tells us that they were given every opportunity but they were lazy and refused the to work m, go to school or chase money when it’s there for the taking. No one tells us about institutionalised racism and state sponsored discrimination, violence against black communities etc. It is always a shock to grow up and see the realities of the AA. As an African in breaks you, here you thought one group of blacks people are living the life, at least half of them who choose to. Then you see a police kneel down in the throat of your king distant relative and kill him deliberately then the veil falls from your eyes abc you see the most evil creatures that ever walked the Earth and his skin is pink even if he claims he is white. You start to ask questions while others burry their head in the sand afraid to find out the truth. The average Africans are still like that. No body thought I’d our own history in school. 75% plus of 1.4 billion under the age of 30 if you count the Arabs. None of them understand colonialism or the slave trade, proper evil of racism until they are adults. Our leaders let us down. African migrants will stay in Africa if they were thought in childhood about how evil the shire man is and the fact that he is incapable of change so long as he remains dominant. And that is why Africa is so poor instead of being the richest continent enjoying its own wealth. A complete lack of knowledge and how to turn our perception around and change our horrible faith.
It’s not just African Americans. Even Africans who move abroad to study or work, whenever they go back home people have expectations. It’s more of the land and not the people.
Definitely different perspectives. As a Black man from America I look at the mineral riches under the soil in Africa and wonder... who would want to leave that wealth for a job in America!?

They leave because of corrupt dictator politicians who steal massively and won't fix the countries.
I’m African and no one in my home thought African Americans were walking on gold so I don’t know how one can speak for all Africans
Well, I'm Nigerian American and I've lived in Nigeria and can attest that life is tougher for the average Nigerian. Many folks would die to get an opportunity to come to the US because it is easier to make it here.

I’m sure they’d love social programs like we have here over there. Ebt,housing,disability or social security. But to your point. Their toddler or baby could get shot at a bbq because some sound cloud rapper made a mean comment about a guy in a rap song a couple blocks over
I'm sorry for the lies they told you!
She’s delusional from the lies she has been told. She don’t know the real story of our ancestors.
Sis is right. People give up a good life and a good paying job to come to America and suffer. I know you will tell them to go back. No, they can not. They are trapped here. They have sold everything, or they have given them away. You're also ashamed of " what will people say?"
I know doctors who left their countries to come to America and drive taxis.
Being a doctor in a 5th world country does only qualify you to drive taxis in a developed country
Lmao people give up the struggle to come an strive in America and succeed
Yesss so true
@@alvinbingham999 because taxi drivers in america makes more money than a doctor back home
This is TRULY NOT how it is in AmeriKKKa, especially for ppl of color.
Are you an American? Do you vote? If so, which Party do you vote for?
Cause the KKK was founded by Democrats following their defeat in the Civil War. Over 5000 Republicans were lynched by Democrats in White hoods during the reign of the KKK which truly ended in the mid to late 1990's after the Democrats lost the South to the Republicans in 1993 all due to DNC and KKK ties. Seem's the 24/7 news coverage ruined the effectiveness of the DNC's White Supremacy and Domestic Terrorism tactics used to suppress votes.
Not even close to how it is.
Wow😮!!!
America is home to the richest black people in the world. If America is so racist why do those wealthy black people not move to other countries? Stop pointing the finger at white people for your own failures.
For everybody. South America, Caribbean Countries and Color have nothing to do with it. I'm Latina and I know.
It's Afrika that has all the riches: gold, diamonds, minerals and land.
Things always appear greener on the other side of the fence.
4 real
And yet In africa across its poorer nations. Hundreds of millions live in conditions far worse than any african american has seen in the last 5 decades.
Perspective is important. Africa has mineral wealth. But where does that wealth end up?
@@Sgt.chickens Corruption is the common answer I see floating online regarding the poverty of Africa. Yet at the same time her view is generally crafted by rap music and things like BET that shape her thoughts on the race and culture of African Americans. Most African Americans due to discriminatory laws that have been in place such as Slavery, The Fugitive Slave acts of both 1793 and 1850 early in US history, Jim Crow laws, The Black Codes, Plessy v. Ferguson, The Day Law of 1904, Lynching, literacy tests for black americans in the 1940s and 50s in which during the 40s and 50s African Americans largely where barred from going to the same educational institutions and black only institutions where largely disenfranchised through white european nationalist movements that destroyed buildings, homes, and Black American economic movements like Black Wall Street. Most African Americans live in section 8 housing in America, most schools that African Americans.
then they come over here and find out that its the same struggle just in different ways

I understand what she is trying to say. America has been promoted so much as being perfect in everyway and the people who built it continuously flashy. There are even classic African music bands who continuously implied in their songs " when I make it to America, all will be well, family will be well, villagers will look in awe" and the like. As I read the comments most do not believe her and find it ridiculous but it's true. When she said they are walking on gold, they have a lot to give us she doesn't mean the ATM kind, she means knowledge, new ideas, creativity, loopholes in order to help climb the ladder of life. She expressed herself the best way she knew how. English is hard.

She said something that we must all take from this,
Before mentioning that, I must say... I have an analogy of those of us in the diaspora...
Like a Soul sent to earth to gain experience in order to eventually return after that life in order to ADD to the continued evolvement of the all...
Those at home have their work cut out for them as well to maintain the sacred ness and hold the community of wholesome oneness together as they hold the barriers up against outside, forces, foreigners, and invaders....
What they of home see in us... We see in them...
But... It's not money...
We both have something the other needs...
We both seek huge need for opportunity,
The closeness and support of family...
Freedom of expression...
To be safe and confident in our own skin...
To be of community against all odds...
To bring back required logistics both sides require to remain our sacred selves, without becoming totally currupt by the same matrix doing the damage to us in the first place...
The system realized a long time ago, that we are a different type of people who operate more inner(mentally & spiritually),
than outer ( materialistically), leaving or separating ourselves from Source Creator...
Some mention we are not from the continent...
We all are, we were simply sent out or off the continent at different times, for different projects, to accomplish different things ...
If Source says game over and everyone out on assignment is to return home....
Because Source may plan to make the continent like Ark and sink the rest...
Yet you have those arguing that they are not of the continent...
Well... As they say... They'll go down with a ship that was never really theirs...
Put another way, a hard head make a soft or life ending behind ...
We are One people of One Source, Created and operated by Source with the ability of free will and free choice...
Which we have actually given away to the matrix,
By not realizing our gift of magic....
Which is believing through thought...
Whatever we believe is manifested... Good or Bad
Everyone knows that about us except us...
We can change anything by believing...

Sorry to inform you of this. But America is still better than any part of Africa😢.
You see us with the gold?????
THE 🥇🥇🥇 GOLD IS THERE. WOW 😮😮😮😮
In the early 90's I was in West Africa. At a social gathering an African man, with incredible arrogance, referred to African Americans as lost tribesmen. I responded with "When will you have the finances to visit my country for a few weeks, like I am visiting yours?" Personally, I got tired of being begged for money. I felt like saying "Prove to me your ancestors weren't complicite in my ancestors being drug across the ocean into a hellish experience that we are still dealing with." Then maybe we can talk.
Sorry, you sound proud.
So are you agreeing with her then? Since you were getting sick of these Africans, who you imply had less than you, begging you for money
Y'all think is highly of us but we disrespect your so much. We talk trashy shit toward our African brothers and sisters.. I appreciate this sister. I hope we all can have respect for each other as a race..
I loved my two Kenyan professors in college. I learned so much from them. One was the only one to give me an "A" on a paper 📜. 😀
I love the engagement on this post. Keep it coming. This video is from several years ago. I decided to put the young Ghanaian woman on the panel for 3 main reasons (1) Her opinions represents a SIGNIFICANT constituency of Ghanaians and other Africans across SSA, (2) Her responses are from the common, unpolished perspective, which is what most people opt to ignore. It’s often the most educated, culturally affluent who speak on a panel like this; however, those voices are few and far in between, (3) It’s important we real real voices to build empathy and understand cross culturally.
I’ve lived in Ghana for 5 years and have been back/forth for 17+. TRUST me, what she says represents the average Ghanaian and speaks to the need of education on both ends. If you ask the average American about any country in Africa (politically, culturally, socially, musically), I guarantee the responses would be similar. Thanks for the engagement.
She is not lying, I had a friend from Togo who said that her whole life she thought all of America looked like NYC and she was surprised when she got her. She also couldn’t believe that the government could take your home if you didn’t pay taxes.

Most of you commenting here are totally oblivious to how hip hop culture has influenced the world. When we see artistes with heavy chains and very expensive jewelry, expensive cars etc so definitely we would think that all black Americans are like that. When you glorify gang culture, violence and verbally abuse women in the lyrics of your music, we definitely think that's how you folks are. We watch your media and always see young black adults killing each other in Chicago like flies, in Boston, Detroit and many of these inner cities and then protest when a white person says the N word 🤔. We always ask ourselves why white people aren't killing each other like this at this rate? Young black women give birth to multiple children with different fathers and and it's seen as normal and not a problem. Because of failed leadership in our African countries which have made it nearly impossible to thrive under the conditions we're in, we find America to be a land full of opportunities. A lot of our people go there and make it big and live good lives. They say the system works if you're willing to work hard. They just say don't marry an American woman because she'll wait till you've made it then divorce you and take all your money and your children. These are many of the perception of black Americans that we have just from observation. In light of all these observations, it then begs the question that if black Americans are racially oppressed as they always say, why is it the case that when Nigerians, Ghanaians, Kenyans and other African groups get there, they do exceptionally well? Last time I checked, we're all black and the only reasonable answer I can come up with is that the culture is different. A lot of vices are being glorified in the black American community which Africans would never tolerate. And because of the glorification of these vices overtime, it just became part and parcel of black American culture which has generations of damaging effects on the community. This is how a lot of us Africans see things from the outside.
Your comment is extremely ignorant of Black Americans, very one sided and egotistical. You need to educate yourself about how AAs experience living in the US and what it is actually like to be here.
You seriously think just because black immigrants come here and be successful that there's no obstacles holding Black Americans from the same success? If you actually knew what you were talking about you would know white on white crime here is major. The country is majority white. DUH. White people are killing themselves all the time. The people who get killed the most by the police are white.
Your type of attitude and about a group of people you don't even know (or even care about) is why as a black American I will NEVER step foot in Africa. A lot of y'all just hate black Americans for no damn reason but have a weird jealous obsession with us simultaneously. At the same time y'all want us to 'come home' and help y'all rebuild. Make it make sense.
By your thinking, we should think the continent of Africa is riff with tribal wars, Massacres, starvation, and everyone lives in jungles chasing lions to steel their kill. However, we are the ones fighting that African stereotype here in America because we have dealt with the same thing here from day one to precent day. Yet, when we try to school Immigrants on the lay of the land, many turn their nose up and accept the lies told about us. It's not until they feel the reality, that they come back calling us "brother". Let me return your question to you. Why is it that African Americans go to Africa and do better than many Africans? Why is it that our collective spending power is more than practically every African countries GDP? Your type of thinking is what's holding the continent back.
Super intriguing comment. Appreciate your perspective. I’m going to bookmark this because I’m on break at work (I’m an RN) - but I will revisit this later and share my perspective on your perspective because a lot of the things you said I agree with 100% but the same as all Africans aren’t tribal, primitive individuals…not all of us Black Americans participate in the culture you see represented (ironically enough I was born and raised in Detroit) and I think it’s very important to also be able to contextually recognize where these things stem from - not to justify them at all because accountability is a pillaged resource these days and it will take a multitude of generations to nurture and “undo” it so to speak. Cognitive dissonance and indoctrination are still very big factors and separatist agenda (divide and conquer) is still clearly working very well, true to “their” plan (by this I mean the powers that be not white people because they experience poverty and so called “inner city” recklessness here too i.e. trailer parks / trailer “trash”).
@@NurseSnow2U oh yes, I'd definitely like to hear your point of view as well. I also didn't mention that we've lived in the US from the mid 80's to the mid 90's. Elkhart Indiana and Chicago IL. We're back to Nigeria. All I can say is that I've seen the best and the worst of both worlds but I really enjoyed our stay in the US back then. It wasn't as dysfunctional as now though. The shootings in Chicago have been a constant thing since we were there. Anyway, I really look forward to reading your thoughts. Have a great day at work 👍🏿
Yes there are black people who do have lots of money. Rich people live in my family. But I am not rich. And many Black Americans are poor and struggling!!!! But there are others that have working class poor but a decent home, some in the south have land! Some others live in the suburbs and others live in the hood! Black Americans work hard everyone is not sitting around doing nothing. Folks who are in mental depression or on drugs or going through unemployment may fall down and get back up. But others just can’t get it together. We all have different experiences. Even in America poor folks have money but use it unwisely due often to MIs education! Those of us who are really poor must join fo ces with others to build a great life if moving to Ghana but this is very hard to do if there is no trust. 😢🎉❤
Why leave? You need to build! 😅
A lot of African countries are run by selfish leaders who don't really care about developing their various countries. They mismanage state resources and fail to build good infrastructure. Why do 90% of immigrants go to plces like America and sometimes make it more that regular Americans? It's because of a few things :
1. Good structures in America
2. The Institutions work
3. Various paths to success (lots of opportunities).....and
4. The Drive to succeed (you know where you are coming from so there is no room to fcuk up)
I can relate to African Americans as a South African .They are strong people facing racism just like Black South african
That's why I as an African American (Though part Caribbean) love you guys
It’s sad, Africa is such a blessed land full of natural resources. They are heavily equipped to use their own means towards the betterment of their country and people. Unfortunately, both sides are suffering and are mentally imprisoned.

Africans are so heavily traumatized to the point we ourselves don't even know it, because what's ubiquitous is considered "normal". If you told us some of our remarks and responses were inappropriate, don't be surprised if the African laughs at you while you're saying it...
I'm not sufferingt speak for yourself
Lol black Americans not really suffering as much as you think, we good, but them Africans don’t own any of the land these natural resources sit on, it’s pretty simple, either some American entity, European or Chinese company owns the land that mines their natural resource, they should’ve been better at war, Skill issue
@@BronzeSistaGood for you sister.
Bona Ausi, say I, not we, speak for yourself😂😂😂😂😂
I’m sorry but somebody lied to y’all. We out here struggling too😂😂😂
Somebody done told her wrong😢
Leaving Africa, Self extirpation
As a proud African I can say she is correct in a way, African Americans influence us greatly because we see them as Africans who have made it or are in far better conditions than us,I must make it clear that not all Africans think like that...we have rich and poor like everybody else in the world,some Africans are living just as good if not better than African Americans and some not so much...
Another issue we need to speak more on ss black people is the fact there a indigenous people in America that look like Africans but are not,they are the natives... I think it's important we get more information about them because we usually mix them with African Americans...they are the American Americans😂❤
Movies, music, popular culture, mtv cribs, BET, portray this narrative. I use to think the same coming from the Caribbean. Like a gold chain will be easy to get much cheaper here once I get a job I will make all this money etc all based on what I saw on TV. Rap music showed me wealth and ruthlessness (at least the version we were exposed to). The mind is a canvas protect your image my people.

As a child growing up in senegambia and learnt about slavery in Gambian schools, we senegambians have empathy and love for our African Americans and Africa carribeans because we know that these Africans in the diaspora are our brothers and sisters who were taken away. All love to my African Americans and African carribeans.
I feel so sad for the woman speaking for seeing money before blood.
As an African American woman who is also part Jamaican. I say thank you. ❤
You can tell she has a good spirit like a lot of Africans. She is telling the truth that's why when African Americans go to Africa some of the people look at them like ATMs. It's something that has to change. This is a good conversation for Africans all over to come together.
This is all an illusion about Americans in general. What immigrants don't realize is that America is a debtor nation. We don't have all the money in the world, we have all the credit in the world and all the debt in the world. Yes, we have many more opportunities than Africa, but if you don't use them wisely, you may end up in debt. Just food for thought.
No no no no no hell no. We don’t see them as they have all the opportunities and have money. Which part of Africa are you from? HELL NO…

They do but if they weren’t so busy tryna be victims they would see it too, let them switch spots with any African for a month and see if they don’t try to run back to America
She said "this is how we see them". Who is we? I am African and my families, friends, and i do not share her views.
Lmaoooo, so basically she thought she'd be able to come here and just get hand outs. 😂😂😂😂😂 Then gets upset that it's not that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I fully understand what she means, the dollar has more value than all the currencies in Africa. An African American can work hard enough for two or there years and be able to afford to buy a lovely house or apartment in a city in Africa, while most local Africans would need 20 - 30years or actually never really be able to save anything in the first place.
I don’t know anyone who could afford a house after 3 years. Maybe 10
Yet many of y’all live in section 8 housing’s. Stop lying to yourself. I’ve met lots of African American who were able to accomplish anything in life when the started mingling with Africans. ESP the women. That’s why they prefer getting with African men or Caribbeans men to their own.
Africa has the gold the diamonds all of the natural resources Africa is beautiful.
some of these comments are so indicative of the ingrained slavery in the American Negro. the AFRICAN lady was asked a question and she answered it HONESTLY....be glad for her openness. Stop this delusional state of us vs them and embrace that which we LOST. This conversation is very real and necessary. And stop (here is a fighting word) sounding so angry.
Who has more opportunities, resouces, land etc at their feet than Africans on the continent

The resources and land that America and European countries are constantly plundering??
Facts
Do something about it, what blacks have in the USA we fought for we ain't flee@@Madeinthegambia
@@MrMakingcake When did I say it was free. I live in America too. I know that. They mentioned Africa have more resources and I mentioned how those resources are constantly stolen. When a country resists then western troops come in to cause chaos and genocide or impose sanctions like they are doing right now so they can get their way. Instead of playing oppression Olympics you should be seeing how it affects everyone. Your talkin bout do something about it but if they stopped shipping those resources to the US you’d be suffering too. Keep your hostility to yourself.
When I was a nurse in Colorado, I worked with a bunch of Kenyan men, that were CNA's. Some of them were truck drivers in New York, before that. They were sending their money home and buying land, houses, etc. They had conservative values and views. They liked to wear suits and drive nice cars.
One of them really wanted me to think that there were no starving children in Kenya and we were being played. They just took our money. They would complain about the price of avocados and say we were stupid for paying so much money for them. Lol I guess they grow everywhere in Kenya.
They did not like African Americans at all. I think mostly because the cities they drove trucks in were dangerous. I know one of them was robbed. They did not like the gangster persona, etc. They never even heard the word ni***r before coming here.
They were some of my favorite people, they loved God, had good work ethic, funny, kind hearted, etc.
They drink like fish, sad reality
where is the full video?
Talk about how you think sister, opportunity is gained through hard work that breeds success. I’ve never been in the USA and i can employ a handful of them.
From the movies.
I view African Americans as ambitious loud and dramatic blunt people who have guns or can access a gun and shoot you. They have tattoos and live in neighbourhoods where an ambulance is passing every few seconds. The women have issues and are called black women, we in Africa are never called black women. Getting a good education as a black person is a guarantee to a good life, here in Africa it's business not education. Sell peanuts and get money, make clothes etc.
Thank Tyra banks show and movies for all that information I have given you.
Where is she from
She Ghanaian , her accent is unmistakably Ghanaian. Beautiful chocolate 🍫 ❤
“Unmistakably Ghanaian” 🤣🤣
You should look up the article on “the decadent veil” by Antonio Moore. He explains how Black celebrity is used to mask the reality of Black American struggle.
Don’t say we … say you coz you ain’t seeing what am seeing! I used to think that before I came to America!!! Now I see it for what it is !!!
We built America and built opportunities and we are entitled to whatever she has to offer, we worked and earned it, not lazy akatas or slaves like you all call us
We have to pay money to even find out where our ancestors came from, what language they spoke etc....
We are not African Americans, we are Americans, I never been to Africa a day in my life.
@@blackfranklin agreed. As long as they slap another label on us they keep us appearing less than. I want to be seen for what I am-an American whose ancestors were enslaved and bled, died and built this country we really don’t have stake in.
@blackfranklin I disagree. My ancestors came from somewhere & I highly doubt it was America. I choose to connect with my ancestry. You can deny it if you want...That's your business.
@@blackfranklin Always speak for just yourself, okay?
@@blackfranklinyour ancestors were Africans. So wat does dat make you?
As a Black American born and raised ( don’t call myself African American cuz I was born and raised in America and so was my parents and grandparents and don’t know how far my roots go so …) anyways WE DO NOT WALK ON GOLD!! And not all of us have money😅
We see Africans as very smart people and calm and a little boogie. We also see Africans as slightly looking down on us too. But overall we like Africans. I’m glad our narratives are changing.
Opportunity? Africa has major of the worlds natural resources but yall poor. 🤔
Wealth comes from value added services not just natural resources. So just having lots of natural resources doesn’t automatically equate to wealth. You need a stable economy, an educated work force, infrastructure, capital, healthy business environment, and non of those things come easily especially when there are stronger foreign countries who benefit from you remaining poor and politically unstable. So, for the average citizen I’m afraid the opportunity isn’t there.
@@KingNomad Most of the Middle East went from bedouin to sky scrapers in less than 50 years with one natural resource. You have to know you worth and eliminate those selling your county out for a few bucks. That requires unity.
Who is Y'all?
You do realise you are talking about 54 different countries.
If .Mexico is poor does that mean the whole of America is poor?

At least she was open and honest unlike most people 🤷🏾♀️

we see africans as ppl who have all the natural resources in the world & the most natural beauty & diverse cultures in the world, who can give us something that we once had, but lost due to the ravages of slavery & oppression at the hands of brutal, genocidal colonizers

at the hands of African slave traders too! The white man was never strong enough to enter inner Africa and take slaves by himself. I don't even understand how the white man kept slavery going for so long in the Americas, when he was in no way physically or mentally superior to the African. We have to look within too.
@@CarribeanForBlacks you are so wrong. speak for yourself
@@CarribeanForBlacks once again, speak for yourself. first of all, you have no idea who/what I am. secondly, i'm too many things, & i'm exactly what my genetics & i say i am, not whatever *you* say i am. talk what you know, or don't talk at all. the whole world is africa. it's just divided into continents... better ask somebody. in the meantime, don't project your identity confusion/crisis on me with your weak, geographical labels. i already know who I am
It can be good but be ready to work your butt off.
As a Nigerian Africa is blessed whether good or bad no country is perfect. It's bad that there's some African-Americans that are racist towards Africa
This is really how they think of us and this is why I’d move to Europe any day before moving to Africa!
I guess it depends on the perspective of the American individual. I believe that there are a lot of opportunities in this country for advancement because I grew up in an upper middle class/upper class family; my parents are college educated, my dad had a high paying job and so did my extended family.
Therefore I had a lot of opportunities growing up, whereas someone who didn't have all of that might believe that there is a lack of opportunities for advancement.
She chose to talk about the least controversial things she heard of.... I'm sure she went through a rolerdex of topics in her mind before she opened her mouth.

I saw America as a land of opportunities not people who are rich. I guess we all look at it differently.
Well… I lived in Germany and I can honestly say that we did not get along with the Africans there. I’m not saying I hate Africans but they were jealous of us. We fought in da clubs because when we showed up we got all the ladies attention and the Africans did not like that. This surprised and upset me a lot because I thought we were all brothers in this Caucasian country, but it wasn’t so. Now as far as Charleston white you just have to understand his thought process is valid, but he is also playing a character on the internet. If you show him love he shows it back no matter who you are, but he believes that we are different and I agree. With that said we are all black and in this struggle together. No matter where you go you are black and they don’t care where you’re from, we get treated bad equally. I hope this gives you a better insight. I don’t condone speaking ill but us not rocking with each other holds some truth, and I pray that changes.
Perception ain't always the reality.
Notice she said “We see you all as someone who can give us something.” That has been a thing I’ve noticed with Africans…African Americans are good enough to support Africans with charity, but from your businesses or March for you (like here in the NY area when Amadou Diallo was murdered by police) but some Africans don’t seem to want much else to do with us. I see you as my brothers and sisters but I have to recognize that not all of you feel that way…and I have asked/seen Africans and they admitted/shown it themselves.
She doesn’t understand the struggle we went through!!!🙏🏿
To my non Americans, just know that both sides are equally true. You CAN make it here, You CAN be broke and destitute here. It’s seriously a mixture of Luck, Circumstance, effort, and mind set. But remember, even with all of that, nothing is guaranteed and there are real obstacles here. Anyone who is successful here and is not humble and doesn’t acknowledge the truth in this statement is selling you false optimism. I’ve made 70k USD with no degrees in this country. And a year later due to health, I was making half. (Difficult to live off of that in the US without assistance) Give thanks to whoever you pray to for both years equally and find joy in the little things. But know it’s the probably the most difficult “easy” life you will ever live, which is why some of us are trying to move to The Continent and see if we can have a better quality of life there. Love my African Brothers/ Sisters Aunties and Uncles✊🏾🙏🏾
Stay blessed
