black americans are american indians

The only reason whites made fun of our language is because it was so much better then theirs! Our form of English so much livelier then theirs! 😊😊

R.I P. Jim Tom. He was 82 y/o. He died of kidney cancer, September 6th. 2023.

In the description it mentions "Scots-Irish English". That's a romantic delusion. It very clearly stems from the West Country of England, i.e. the south-west.

Wuddddddado?

They not laughing at our speech anymore.... Jamaicans retain the Akan language...we call it Patwa there and the whole world is fascinated with it. It's the closest you'll get back to the Akan language. Unless you go back to Africa and find the Akan people.

FYI, English is one of many languages that is the hardest to learn and teach! Though this new AI age of digital wonders requires fingers not a voice, some of us old people still remember the real languages of our native! From Swahili to the many clicks of a very particular people in Africa, tho it is a very deep and important part of history, Society seems to have forgotten to both learn and teach black people African languages! Who wanna explain this one? How bout you Beck, think you know African culture? Can you back it up! Hmmmm?

Hell we talk and sound like this in small town Alabama.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Black Slave catchers children are ruling Ghana today and are selling the country for egos and foolish childish pride

“Tóg” means “take” in Gaelic/Gaeilge/Irish language. Tog it inside would mean take it inside to me. “Poke” = “poca” in Irish which means pocket - Im irish and totally understand what you are talking about - a paper poke means a paper bag or paper pocket.

NC born and raised. I'm black, consider myself civilized and VERY proud to be a country boy. SHOUTS OUT GRAYS CREEK 🐻

Fuck me, I'm british, sounds very southern English, some of the older lads sound like that, but not as much in the young ones.

Is there a singular collection of his playing? I saw he passed away a few years ago but I would love to see what his bag of songs looked like, and try to learn it. You just don't see music like this enough these days.

I'm So Proud of My Cherokee Roots Such A Beautiful Culture 🙏🙏👑🪽🪶🪶🌹🕊️🫶🙌

this was so educational and informative. it make a great difference when people are allowed to educate you on their customs and history.

I was always told my great grandmother was pure blood Cherokee. I have European blood and slight dark skin. One blue eye, one half brown blue. I've always wanted to know about my heritage. Even my last name is an adopted name by my father's father. Evans was his adopted name passed to me. I've been to the reservation in Cherokee, NC.. it's so beautiful. When I was there, I felt something in my spirit that moved me..and still does. How do I discover myself? 😢

I love old Jim Tom

2:35 someday im goin to POWER pembroke gym.

I'm lumbee and puerto Rican, raised in new York i was born in Pembroke though. I am proud of both my cultures. I use my lumbee English with my mom, and I use Spanish with my father. this caused alot of confusion when I had to learn standard English in the NY school system. 😢so I had a lot of adjustment to do

Why when it comes to us Black Americans, we can't say or speak Black English or say talking Black? Chinese have Cantonese, Mandarin, Wu, etc.... French has Original French, Haitian French, Louisiana French, etc...Spanish has Original Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Latino Spanish, Brazilian Spanish, Cuban Spanish, etc....But somehow people always find problems with what Black Americans do? But then other races, ethnicities, & nationalities still end up talking like us anyway.

I am 1/3rd Cherokee and only know 10 words - would love to find old school real Cherokee teacher for old gadua - Eastern Band Language teaching

Dear BLACK AMERICANS... YOU ARE ISRAELITES who come from NORTHEAST AFRICA, known as the Middle East. The same applies to EVERYONE affected by the Transatlantic Slave Trade... We were targeted because we are THE REAL JEWS! The PALE people who call themselves JEWS are the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN, descendants of TURKS, OTTOMANS, GREEKS and ROMANS! Know your history!

Dear Lucas I agree 100% with you. Just in case you don’t get my message. Please give me some suggestions on what is needed to make this happen. Even though I am limited in some ways. Thank you please keep on speaking up. There will be those of us who will take. Stay positive always.

I wonder if they're still alive! Respect to those surviving heroes.

If I ever visit the states...I'll definately come see the African american culture, wherever that is.

Definately wanna learn how to talk black...

I am an African from Kenya and I've always been impressed how the African community in America managed to do so much with so little: Jazz, Blues, Soul, Hip-hop culture,Gospel music, New dialect, Soul food,Run dmc, Tupac,Biggy, Native toungue, Wu Tang, Michael Jackson.... I am proud of my brothers and sisters across the atlantic. Y'all doin it...y'all cool.

wado n o'syio

@14:14Talk about try to legitimate improper English. This doesn't help them at all.

These folk are blessed and mostly know it, they value their world and cherish what is around them. One man said that they are twenty years behind the rest of America, I would say thats progress.

You person who is talking about the man T-shirt you don't know him you don't know if it's the only shirt he has so you stop it right now or you can do your next best by sending him some t-shirts so he can take that 1 off ridiculous

This video is 2008 I´m born in 2005 Now i´m see in 5.11.2024 🎉❤

Most of my family is Cherokee and chickasaw. My great grands are Cherokee. somewhere down the line my grandad's on both sides are African and both my grandmas were Cherokee. Still I only know English 😢

Very interesting. I always wondered why the Irish accent sounded so similar to a southern American accent. It didn't make sense to me, geographically. Now I know it's the other way around! 😂

Its funny. Appalachia was settled by folks from.the British isles. Look what they've done to the Queen's English!

X❤x❤x❤x❤x❤

She said, "For economic survival, you have to do that song and dance.". I believe and say, "For economic prosperity, I put my trust in God!!!". If God be for me, WHO can be against us???" (Romans 8:31)🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I can hear some trace Scots in the accent

I can see who you are. How you speak makes no difference to me as long as I can understand you. "Meet people where they are..."

Most of my family speaks in this type of mountain dialect / accent. My husband tells me when I get tired or I get around my family, my accent gets thicker. 😂 I still live in WNC and wouldn’t change it!!

I don't believe black Americans are born racist. They were conditioned to be racist by their former white masters. But that back-fired because many black Americans are now brave enough to push whites aside. Shackles and chains are off, but there's still hidden white American racism. For every dollar black American works hard for, at least 90 cents go to white power. We were all born to enjoy mother nature and true freedom. I don't work for money.

Talking black was not the way it used to be in the deep past, that talking black fit in with the personality, but the future created different ways in schools to identify as the way they wanted to be. Each lifestyle had their own way of talking black, and those lifestyles fit in with their characters. The professional talking black was with the business in petty ways; the college ways were with some kind of movement that put them deeper into the confused way. The normal life to survive did not have time for all the bull that comes around every time someone thinks they want to change our way. The street life just was talking hustling, that they feel is the only thing that matters. Who stays on looking at things in the right survival way. Everyone has their section they will follow, but we have our higher ups always pushing things out to confuse the minds, which today the people are in the worst confused way than we ever were.

Reminds me of counting words in Japanese, one long narrow thing (ippon) one small round thing (ikko) one animal (ippiki)

I hear is laqugage in today in Kansas City
