I love this channel. Bringing concrete subject with local people in African. Tradition VS Modernity. Are cellphone part of traditional culture?TV, Computer, Car? I would say No to all of these. But it is now part of the modern Africa, because people have adopted them and they wont leave them because its convenient. It doesn't mean to leave everything from the past. Its just to be practical. The example the lady give about cooking rice vs another traditional dish make sense. A mother who has to cook for her children do not want to spend hours cooking a difficult meal EVERYDAY. Its too much, she has other things to do. Now, it doesn't mean that dish should be forgotten. It can be done on other occasion or made easier to do(that's more a cooking issue at this point) Culture evolves constantly by force or by choice. The one who don't stagnate. The culture should be aligned with the reality of the people and solve their problem. African should discuss what is their culture today and choose what need to change about their culture to be able to move forward. A bit like they did in this conversation.

They don't know because although they may not have enslaved in the Americas or elsewhere, they were colonized. The culture of our common ancestors from 500-600 years ago, isn't what exists there today. It was during colonization that these cultures were erased. Most of their countries are called by colonial names, they were taught in colonial schools. Either way, cultures change organically as groups of people merge by war, migration and political alliances. An example of a huge cultural shift is Ankara and lace textiles. These fabrics came from Indonesia and became "African" when the Dutch introduced it. Anyone looking at any Ankara print today would know it immediately as African fabric. Clearly we all need to hold onto those systems and practices that work for us. Others we absolutely need to abandon with haste. Side note: No such thing as "watered down" culture.

That is what indigenous communities do, where they migrate, they combine the old with new. Thats what Black American culture is - think Jazz, Soul Food, Ring Shout, Conjure, the Banjo and more.

The reason why people identify with their nationality and culture, such as German or French, is because of some ruler who fought over land in the past won, and they happened to be on his territory. So, it is not the people who decide their nationality or cultural identity. It's always the ruling class. In modern times, it's the nation-state that defines who belongs to the territory and who does not. Culture is now a symbol of national identity. It's not because you chose to dress or eat a certain way, it's because you have identity/culture XYZ that you have to dress, behave, speak and eat that way. People expect unconditional allegiance to their respective country (patriotism). There is a significant amount of force and power involved in all of this. The more sensible approach would be to look into your culture, see what makes good sense, and let go of things that are only meant to oppress and go against your interests.

Modernization does not affect culture to an extent, but it does affect and impact the use of languages and dialects. Language will eventually be lost as people of culture assimilate into modern society where there is a national language recognized for conversing, education, and conducting business, for example, the languages of the colonists; English, French, German, Dutch. This is the case in the Caribbean where the people are of African, Asian, Spanish, Carib, and Arawak descent, the latter two being indigenous people. Another example is African countries that have thrown out the languages of the colonists, that have double or triple digit cultural/tribal languages, they’ve had to select a national language that all people could use to communicate, or learn so they could communicate. As society evolves -urban expansion, and things move at lightning speed, the cultural/tribals languages will be lost. The Ugandan president said tribalism and the bartering system must end in order to compete in the local and global economy. Embrace change, resisting would only make survival more difficult.

It’s so sad that Africans are entertaining the talk of modernizing their culture. Having traveled and lived in a place like China for over 5 years. I can truly say to you. I wish I knew more about my culture. There is no nation that will grow without its culture. In culture everything lies there. The technology everything. You see how much China is investing in preserving its culture you’ll be shocked. There are people who are just employed to sit and preserve the country’s culture in writing. The languages are all being written down and made easy to understand. Children recite the beautiful poems of their history every morning. They have developed so much but their culture is still the same. Their culture is their bank of knowledge. Wake up Africa, teach your kids your languages. Your language will make you sufficient.

The fact that you are having a conversation in English explains everything. 🤦

That Uganda dress is so horrible I don't know why you'd choose that as your national dress.
