Africans don’t like Blacks (Why Do Africans Hate Black American) Being Black in Ghana

The biggest lie I was told was Africa was poor. When I arrived to Ghana I saw huge mansions that people live in. The second thing was Ghana was dangerous. I felt safer in Ghana than I did walking around at night here in Houston.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@Cole Franklin - You walked Houston at night, did you have the HPD and constables walking with you?? LOL just joking but we understand coming from Houston and thanks for the comment 😊!

[@amapparatistkwabena]

#Facts I feel very safe in my small town in California, but I felt even SAFER in Ghana because I never felt like I would be shot by the police by walking alone at night. I NEVER crossed the street to avoid a white woman-that alone added 6 months to my life.❤️

[@autobotdiva9268]

same here, especially in middle school. all bad pictures

[@MrOu83]

Cole. - I also saw some huge mansions in Ghana during my two visits to Ghana (recent visit was fir 10 months, so I saw a lot, across regions). But, those huge mansions were not the norm. I also saw a lot of poverty-abject poverty. I was never under the delusion that all Africans are poor; but I’m also not under delusion that there is little poverty in Africa. There is a lot of it. While it is true that Africa is the wealthiest continent in terms of mineral and some natural resources, that wealth has not transferred into the pockets of the citizens of Africa, save a very few. And, therein lies the problem.

[@dorcuslee4188]

Absolutely. You definitely have to be careful in houston.

I migrated to the US at a very young age, and the worst treatment I got was from African Americans. It was a horrible experience at such a young age. There’s a lot to say on the hate within the race and colorism, it’s pretty sad.

[@cruc1446]

💯

[@teresaautreyexperience]

Exactly. It's the same with the self hate of Africans who come to America. The Africans I've come in contact were very submissive towards white people and hated black Americans. So everyone has different experiences. I work in international investments and alot of contracts are in Africa. But guess what all the investors are Israeli and Chinese. So why don't AFricans invest in their own land and not let foreigners own them?

Self hate was prevalent amongst black people especially before the internet

I am a black american and as a child, I don't think I knew anyone from Africa, yet, as an insult, we would call someone African. I don't know where this came from. I am so sorry that African Americans treated you poorly. We were ignorant and raised with stereotypes that we didn't even comprehend. You are wonderful and always were! Love you!!! :)

[@sergeantscuba7677]

I lived in Africa for 2yrs for work and was treated like family every where I went. It surprised some of my now friends when they found out I was American. They helped me to understand and learn customs, culture and the language. I’m going back to visit next year

[@iseektruth64]

Jeez, I don't even know where to start on this one. I'm an African (East Africa) in my late 50's who has lived in the US for most of my adult life. America has been good to me. Almost all my family is still in Kenya and I am planning to go back to retire there. I spend several months every year in Kenya but come back to the US because of my job. I was born in Kenya and love it deeply. I have lived in the US and love it deeply. I lived for several years in Mexico and love it deeply. All I can say is that there is no perfect place on earth in a general sense. There is, however, a perfect place for everyone. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. To be perfectly honest, I have always felt more safe and accepted in the US than in my home country. I have experienced next to zero racism in the US but have experienced quite a bit of tribalism in Kenya. As an example, recently when I was back in Kenya, I was arrested, escorted to the police station by two Administrative Police officers carrying long guns, all on the suspicion that I was a terrorist because I stood too long outside a bank waiting for my brother and I "look Somali"! I have NEVER been racially profiled in the US. In all the time I have lived in the US I have been stopped by the police a total of 2 times, both times I was at fault, and both times the officer let me go with a warning. Both times it was a white officer. That has been my experience. If you are Kenyan you have to admit that people (native Kenyans at any rate) live in almost constant fear of being robbed, mugged, plundered or at the very least conned in one way or the other. By other Kenyans. Most people live behind walls and fences of some sort or the other and doors are made of steel and are locked with multiple locks early every evening. Everyone in in my immediate family, and beyond, has been robbed and or mugged at some point. My 80+ year old parents were robbed in their own home one night, hogtied on the floor for 8 hours while the thieves ransacked their house. Oh, and they poisoned my parent's dogs before breaking in. My mother has never quite recovered from the trauma. And my parents were lucky. Many people don't live to tell the tale. Compared to that, I feel VERY safe living in the US! But you know what? I'm still going to retire in Kenya. It is a decision I have made. I do not want to get old in the US. Life isn't always about safety and comfort. Kenya is my Mother and I'm going back and make the best of it. Like I said before, there is no perfect country on the earth, but for me, at this time in my life, Kenya is the perfect place for me...

We don’t own nothing or belong anywhere. We are all tourist on this earth.

[@timothyevans1803]

Thank you for your story! The fact that we Americans are hated by someone that they have never met is very sad. These African Americans that hates Americans don’t understand or realize that there are many Americans That donates money 💰 time Expertise to make some things In Africa better for the Africans That the Americans can reach. I am a person that wants to help some people but my help is to whom I want and as much as I want. I find it very selfish and rude that it seems African’s thinks that Americans owe them something. If the legends are true that some Africans sold Africans into slavery then maybe we should be pissed off at Africans? I had a coworker who was from Africa he started a farm in Africa and paid the African laborers $14 a month. Them money from the farm he could afford more than $100 a month. I think that that is very despicable and wish a better life for all people. Africans, Some people’s plans has taken them 10 and 20 years from $0 to get ahead. Make a plan and work it until you get ahead and stop hating others for what you didn’t do for yourself! You will not be the only person that started with $0

As a Tanzanian-born that has lived in the U.S. since I was 9, my Tanzanian family members really believe with every fiber of their soul that ALL Americans are rich. I don't think people understand how skewed the media portrayal of the U.S. in general is. When you tell people that poverty is a thing that exists in the U.S, they legit think you're trolling them. It doesn't line up with the media that has been exported to the world.

[@AtarahDerek]

Poverty does exist in America, but our poverty line is also the highest in the world. The average homeless vet on the street has more money in his pocket right now than the average Malagasy makes in a week. I'm not saying Americans don't have struggles that include access to food and medicine, but our rates of such struggles are far lower than in most parts of Africa. Much of Africa has two classes: Abject poverty and crazy rich; the former being many, many times more numerous than the latter. America has so many classes that our tax code is extremely complex. We have a thriving middle class. Impoverished Americans are a minority rather than a 90% majority. While our healthcare is expensive (due almost entirely to government meddling), we have numerous ways to support each other in paying for it, and emergency services are free or funded by the public. Which is why we don't really have neglected diseases to speak of. Rabies shots cost $20,000, but we only lose two people to rabies every year, and in almost every single case, the victim simply didn't know they'd been exposed. Up to 8,000 Americans are bitten by venomous snakes each year, but because of medical access, only about five people die from snakebite. And most had underlying contributing factors or did not seek immediate care. By comparison, rabies kills around 50,000 people worldwide every year, most of them in Africa and Asia, and snakebite kills over 30,000 people worldwide every year, most in the tropics. Both rabies and snakebite are considered neglected tropical diseases. And they are neglected in large part for economic reasons.

You probably will be shoked, but slavery didnt exist only about 300 years and only in the New world. Slavery exists for 100% sure last several thousand years in all parts of the world. And most likely even in Paleolithic age, because many "Paleolithic" hunter gathereres in the Middle ages and early Modern period had slaves. They didnt need worker slaves, but when they attacked other tribe, they took women of that tribe for sex slavery. White master-black slave was a thing only about 300 years of Modern era and only in the New world. I mean white slave owners and black slaves also existed for example in early Medieval Europe, but there were many white slaves also, the majority of them were white. One part of Western European (English, who are direct ancestors of many Americans, French, west German etc) peasants were free, but the other part were serfs/slaves (they couldnt leave their master without his permission, they were obliged to work for him) untill 15-16 century. In East Germany and Eastern Europe serfdom existed untill 18-19 century. Also in early Middle ages for example Danes took English slaves, while Anglosaxons took Danish slaves. Same with Africa. Inside one ethnic group there were aristocrates, free commoners and slaves/serfs. Or if there was no class stratification, one tribe of, lets say, Hutu people attacked another Hutu clan and turned some of them into slaves. Or Hutu attacked, lets say, Tutsi people and turned some of them into slaves. Same with other parts of the world during the history.

Similarities between Africans and African Americans; our mothers don’t like us banging doors in their house. I can’t wait for someone on youtube to do a video on the similarities between Africans and African Americans. I’m an African (Zambian specifically) in the US for college. I’ve had more conversations about the similarities between the two cultures with my african american friends than who hates who and why.

[@dyahawadah]

WE ARE SIMILAR BCUZ WE ARE THE SAME FOLKS AKA BANTUS.

[@candywilson1442]

Yes, because we don't like swimming either and I've always felt like it came from our ancestors being taken by sea.

[@Zarai_Numbers]

As an AA I'd love that too! I sometimes see similarities between us and that's a topic I'd be interested in talking about.

[@Zarai_Numbers]

@@candywilson1442 in America black people did swim, but they began segregating the pools. The white people eventually left neighborhoods with black people, so they got rid of all the pools and the AA's couldn't teach their kids to swim.

A lot of it is just ignorance on both sides. We have to come together with open minds and get to know one another. Its not my job to judge anyone, it's my job to get to know you and love you. We are all different in one way or many. Just imagine if we were all alike 🤔 hmm...? I'm sure we would get bored and be uninterested in each other. What makes this world such a beautiful place is definitely the diversity, the different languages, cultures, and beautiful people of all skin tones. We can do so much together than we can ever do apart. It is heartbreaking to hear these truths but I hope that we all can be the change we want to see.

[@jtsdeals]

Great video. I think this came up on my feed because I watch a lot of expat content. One thing that I think is common worldwide is the effect media has on distorting how people see each other and the tendency to classify people into groups. Travel I think opens people's eyes, but unfortunately many people never venture outside of the region they were born. The internet helps people with curiosity learn about real experiences all over but on the flip side of the coin, the internet makes it extremely easy to spread and perpetuate bad information too. Taking the plunge to move away from friends and family to start your own journey takes guts and so does sharing your experiences, good and bad, on KZbin. I have a lot of respect for what you are doing.

[@danielmapulanga8765]

Representing Zambia here. Me and all my friends in my neighbourhood grew up listening and dancing to Black American music. We adored Black American Soul, Funk, RnB, Jazz, Rap & Hip-hop artists. How can you hate people that give you good music?

[@kewebco]

Simply and well said, my brother. How can you hate anyone that gives good music, dance, food or beautiful women? Unless you try and exploit them for one's selfish gains. Sincere adoration and hate can not coexist toward a particular thing, unless crazy is included. Love conquers all.

[@kewebco]

@SunFlower State of Mind I'm American born, and I agree. But that mostly comes from 35 y/o and under. 50+ has memories of deperately reconnecting with our lost heritage. Remember million man March? PanAfrican love everywhere, like back in the 50s and 70s. SOME AA are still undergoing residual self - hate. Some resent ancesters being sold and shipped. Media paints Africa as a Tarzan movie. Americans (some) see Africa as tRump sees it. AA are more Euro-centric in culture. (Stuff) and biz outweighs community life, coworkers replace families. America rewards individualism and isolationism. (Some) AA think continentals are unreasonably arrogant pompous. That said, I encourage you to teach, proactively. Negotiate differences sincerely. Let's treat down our walls and reunite As an AA, I have continental and Islander friends galore, and we share everything! (Well, not wives) I have many Asian, Latin, and white friends too. I still wear daishikis and agbadas on more than special occasions, like on a regular workday although I wear biz suits predominately. People ask questions and are encouraged to emulate. Blackness is cool before and beyond hip hop. The point : explain the 'why' you do what you do to the open minds. Later, others will follow. Conversion is a slow and deliberate process. Unakubali? Amani na upendo KWAKO.

so nice watching ... had no idea about how a black American would be seen in Africa, but you know what? It boils down that it has nothing to do with skin colour but about being an expat. I was an expat in Europe for over 35 years ( I am European myself) and I can honestly say the same to every point you raised. Expats are the ones who ´know everything better`, the ´rich ones and so on.... so was so nice to see you experience the same things

[@kanti8942]

For as long as I'm aware even when I was in high school in Ghana there was no such thing as Africans hating what we used to call "black Americans". It is actually the opposite we felt about black Americans. We Ghanaians loved "black Americans" especially because of the racism we learnt they were going through. Ghanaians are mostly Pan African and have solidarity of all black people. When people say Africans don't like Americans, I believe it's not directed against black Americans but mostly white Americans and America's government policy of exploitation of African countries

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@Kwaku Akonto - We have found Ghanaians to be very welcoming to all people. There is some resentment about people like us getting here starting businesses and doing very well without setbacks. We are in no way speaking for all people one way or another and thanks for the comment 😊!

[@kanti8942]

@@ExpatLifeGhana I don't think there will be any resentment for African Americans who want to establish businesses and prosper in Ghana. If even Lebanese and Indians and recently Chinese undesirables can set up businesses and prosper in Ghana without resentment I don't think African Americans will be frown upon. You may be confusing the way Ghanaians see Nigerians who are setting up shops in Ghana contrary to the rules of Ghana. You may not be aware, but there's a history of Nigerians maltreatment of Ghanaians in the early 80's when Nigeria was very rich then, and a lot of Ghanaians went there to work. My own brother-in-law died there when on short notice their government under President Shehu Shagar gave all Ghanaians the shortest possible time to leave Nigeria failing which he told his citizens to do whatever they want to do to any Ghanaian they come across. Despite that Ghanaians welcome them, but some of them come there purposely to commit crimes like armed robbery, kidnapping, and internet fraud. If you go by the law an invite a Ghanaian to be a shareholder of 10% of whatever business you want to do if you don't want to acquire the equivalent of immigrant status in Ghana. If you get the resident status or citizenship, that law doesn't apply to you anymore. Be free to do whatever legal business you want to do, and treat the locals with respect and appreciation and nobody will have resentment against you.

[@MrOu83]

Kwaku - Most of the division and so-called hatred that exists between AAs and Africa is between AAs & Africans who emigrate to America. Some Africans come to America and are ignorant about and/or dismissive of the Black struggle in this country. Some take on the same ideology of white people. The reverse happens when some Blacks travel to the Continent. We put our ignorance on full display and turn our noses up. The Africans who have never been here do in fact seem to have a favorable opinion of AAs, at least that has been my experience (I have been to Ghana twice).

It's the problem of the educational system here in the states, they only gloss over brown and black countries, and especially less for non-Western nations. You either have to seek out the knowledge yourself or hope you study history at the college/university level.

[@diva70smusic]

@@daharos So very true. But even so, as brown and black people, we should make it a priority to learn about our culture. My Asian and Jewish friends got no respect from the school system as well. They learned from their families, communities and places of worship. Ironically, I was very fortunate to learn about black history from my church and school before black history was a thing. I also started elementary school BEFORE desegregation. I had the best and most dedicated teachers ever who were all products of HBCUs. Times have really changed.

[@HawaiiDEEPS]

Compared to them we are rich

[@riskyron1416]

The real problem of the Rich American comes from what is seen on television and movies. The US Entertainment Industry creates this image. And far beyond the way they see Americans in their country it draws them to immigrate to the US in belief they too will become rich. But the high cost of living and taxation is never realized as well as if you are not making $60,000 a year, you will not be getting rich or living, only eking an existence. In other countries a car is a luxury. In the US a car is a necessity. Open the US borders to exit without penalty and most I believe would leave. Only reason they don't is they would be prohibited from return to the US for 10 years, possibly for life.

[@grace7701]

I havent been in debt for years, minus our mortgage which is very within our means, have 2 vehicles, built a custom home on 2 acres, we buy things when we have money and never put on credit, buy used cars that we can pay off quickly, i have a horse on our own property, we have plenty and yet not in debt and all on 1 income but are by far "rich".
