African-Americans Have No Culture? The Heated Debate That’s Dividing the Diaspora!

Is it true that African Americans have no culture? This controversial claim has sparked intense debates within the African diaspora, leading to heated discussions on race, identity, and history. In this thought-provoking video, Nigerian-American and African-American voices come together to unpack the cultural misunderstandings that often divide these communities.
We dive deep into:
The misconceptions African immigrants hold about African Americans.
The role of media in perpetuating negative stereotypes about Black Americans.
The lost connections African Americans have to their African roots due to the transatlantic slave trade.
Whether African-American culture, like hip-hop, fashion, and slang, truly stands apart from African traditions.
Why some Africans feel superior to African Americans and vice versa.
This conversation covers everything from family expectations, educational achievements, and financial success to cultural pride and historical pain. It highlights the lingering effects of colonization, slavery, and migration that continue to affect relations between African Americans and African/Caribbean immigrants.
Join us as we tackle this complex topic and explore ways to bridge the gap between African Americans and their African cousins. Whether you're from the diaspora or just curious about Black identity, this video is sure to challenge your perspectives!

A lot of immigrants get preferential loans when they come here, that also depends on the situation for example when somalis came to Detroit back in the nineties it didn't take a lot of them long to end up with business loans to open up restaurants, those loans that they wouldn't give to Black Americans living in the same neighborhood were easily given to a lot of Somali folks that's just one example. it happens a lot, right now we're seeing a lot of immigrants being housed for free in the state of California you'll see it plenty enough if you go to these new hotels being built in when u ask them what's going on (because a lot of them will have been built and it'll appear empty for like 5 months with security and a front desk person) or if u can get a room they will frequently give u the runaround on why they cant take u or ur money, Imagine asking somebody if they have a hotel room and them saying that they're not even open to the public and then watching 20 immigrants walk out to catch the light rails feels almost orwellian.

I really wanted to go to Africa but after seeing how ignorant and judgmental people in general are about me as a black male person in general i think im good on yall. Ill arrive in Africa think people are gokng to embrace me but nope just more judging and stupid stereotypes. There is not one place on this earth i can go as a black man 5"10 with dark chocolate skin can go without being judege negatively. That's what i learned here today. So thank you

Everyone in America has benefited on the Blood, Sweat and Tears of Black Native Born Americans with lineage in this country!

[@duobsed01]

I like how they keep moving the goal post to prove their point.

Nobody says you don't have culture. You're making things up

[@damyjay4039]

This ladies just proof that everyone should have a voice. I can't border or even thing of listening to their podcast

[@louisdessasau1170]

I just refer to myself as a Black American not an African American, Most Africans in America don’t really like associating Black Americans. God Bless them though.

[@868kng]

Other races don’t give a fuck if you know your lineage. Whether you from Trinidad, Ghana or America WE all BLACK. This conversation is kinda sad to a point. The ladies perspective is crazy and condescending.

What's lost is that melanated people were ALREADY in the Americas from its origins. Afrika is a continent, and for whatever reason, America is dangerous near considered a continent as opposed to a COUNTRY...

[@KiiingDal225]

Fleeing tethers in OUR country talking mad ish is crazy

[@romanofrancis9423]

Africa has many countries not all Africans see Black Americans as negative.

[@saucejones4230]

African countries didnt exist when we were taking from Africa. The issue is history. Most african countries gained their independence between the 60s and the 80s. We were sold from Africa 400 years ago
