As a Samoan, I'd like to clarify a misconception regarding the Samoan word "Meauli." In our language, "Mea" means "thing" and "Uli" translates to "Black" or "Dark"; hence "Meauli" essentially means "Black thing." Throughout my life, I've heard this term used in various contexts, even by our Samoan people with darker skin, but never as a racial insult. While "Meauli" might not be the most appropriate term to describe people with dark skin, it's crucial to understand that it wasn't intended as a derogatory word. A more fitting term in our language would be "Tagata Uli", meaning "dark person." The Samoan language holds a strong foundation of respect, and while we have our own array of colourful expressions, our primary intention is always respect. This discussion reminds us to reflect on our word choices. Still, it's important to emphasise that in the Samoan context, "Meauli" was never used as a racial slight against Black or African individuals, especially considering the diverse skin tones in the Pacific region.

[@ufaxpyro4200]

💯🙏🏽

[@novemberreign7255]

💯 Regardless of the literal translation, it was never used as a derogatory “racial slur”. Samoan people love & respect people of all races. These iDiOtS coming out with the bull 💩 need to do their homework & stop.

[@xenathunder]

Thank you for explaining it.

[@akilahm9852]

I have lived abroad and have experienced microaggressions by POC. In their language, they used a word translated to mean servant, but it was used with people who were Black or darker generally in menial positions. You said Black person literal translation would be best, but it reflects the mindset of the colonized people. We gave been BRED to reject our own people and not recognize our own as family. We are all original members of the planet. We have been bred to hate the skin we are in. I walk with the understanding that we are family period.

[@novemberreign7255]

@akilahm9852 You are 💯 WRONG with assuming it’s a “micro aggressive”. When a Samoan speaking person can’t remember someone’s name, or never knew it, we say, “mea”, similar to people from the Caribbean who say, “Ting”. In-which the literal American translation is “thing”, but that’s not how we’re using it. Example: Me: Are you going to the party? Friend: Who’s party? Me: (can’t remember the name) You know, mea.. the one at the beach tonight.. Friend: Yes, I’m going to your SISTER’S party! Eh!! (then they all laugh) This has absolutely NOTHING to do with “racial slurs” or “micro aggressions”. If our children are half Black, they’re afakasi meauli, which means 1/2 Black. We damn sure aren’t referring to our kids as things. This is what people who are not from the culture & do not speak foreign languages need to understand. All words do not mean the literal “American translation”.

u just need to stop. non of u ppl know anything about our language so don't try play victim. y'all are taking the translation so literal. "uli" means "black/dark" and "mea" means "thing" but it can also refer to ANYTHING. People, animal, object, place, emotion ANYTHING yes we have a formal name for u people Witch is "tagata uli" = "black people" BUT meauli is another word that we choose to use. here's an example English translation: mea'uli = black thing mea'ai = thing food mea'alofa = thing love what is actually means: mea'uli = black person mea'ai = food mea'alofa = love our language doesn't work the same as the English language. our words can have other meanings to it than just one. so don't assume sh!t Abt us. grow tf up and carry on

The Samoan word you’re showcasing was not derived outta hate. My native language have a word “Edelekelek” which simply means black. No racism, hatred or anything meant to vex no one. Our peoples from 17-1800s were just limited in words and the names just stuck. It’s nothing to get all eyebrows down over, bruv! One love. No need to act like haole. Too many Karen’s like that.

There is a reason why Black ppl are constantly studied, probed, put under immense pressure in all facets of life. When we are healthy and well adjusted, we can surpass most even with meager resources. When we are at half capacity, we still.manage to thrive. Our ability to improvise and make something out of nothing is unmatched. So the only thing left to do is to villify us, and maintain open warfare tactics against us from cradle to grave. Black ppl who understand this will not be victim to the psychological, emotional and societal nonsense that other ignant groups of ppl dish out. THE MOST HIGH says that HE doesn't give a person more hardship than he or she can bear so ppl born Black should RECOGNIZE that THE MOST HIGH makes zero mistakes and has bestowed a responsibility on us that most ppl cannot even begin to bear and work it on out!

The comments section here definitely needs a reality check…. For those of you who watch TikTok as a news source and refuse to do any type of research, you should probably know that the Samoan language & the English language have different word orders. Samoan often uses subject-verb-object (SVO) word order, whereas English typically uses subject-verb-object (SVO) word order. Translating directly while maintaining word order can result in awkward sentences. The Samoan language and culture often have specific concepts and words that do not have direct equivalents in English. Translators may struggle to find concise and accurate translations for these concepts, leading to awkward or lengthy explanations. “Mea” in Samoan translates to “Thing” in English. Mea’Uli = Thing Black… Mea’Ai = Thing Eat Mea’Alofa = Thing Love Mea’uli = black person Mea’ai = Food Mea’Alofa = Present/Offering What may seem unusual in one language can have deep cultural significance or make perfect sense in another… if you’re offended by the rough translation into English, we can openly debate this topic.

[@Vonniearchie6750]

The Rock clings more to his Samoan side. I don't believe he identifies as black. Maybe because he encountered racism from his Cuban ex- wife's family who didn't think he was good enough for her because he was half black. Apparently it cut deep and probably caused him to identify with his Samoan heritage more in the hopes he will be seen a sSamoan and not black . Seems to have worked out for him. I am NOT a fan of his.

[@valeriegrey8795]

They need to stop. I'm sure they have a Black grandma in the closet somewhere on their family tree. They have some strong African features even if they won't admit it.

As a black man I fully understand the racism thats directed towards us. In my opinion It stems from jealousy. I dont remember who it was that said. Our struggle has been a beacon for every struggle world wide.

[@tedandnicole]

As a Samoan person I started this video to ‘learn’ wth word he was talking about. Meauli was never used in my household as a slur. It was the word used to describe anything or anyone being darker than another? Even my own tan lines 😂 The Samoan language is far from developed and many words overlap one another ( for example the same word is used for “five” as “hand” cause 🖐️). If there are Samoans out there using this as a slur they’re ignorant and bigoted, period. But I can pretty confidently say this ain’t it.

I BEEN KNEW! MEAULI is a derogatory word in their community. I was engaged to a Samoan, while his cousins treated me with respect, his immediate family was not good to me at all but proceeded to use our slang, our style and our music as their own. Anddddd they used the N word like it was the thing to do. This is NOTHING NEW, especially in California.

[@slug8914]

Truth is we don’t give a fk. We were samoans raised in cali, what you expect idiot. When we came here in 1950s-1990s, we was beating everybody up. Thats why meaulis and mikos started shooting us. We adopted gang culture, not black culture not every black person uses the n word and hood slang. And you said “style”.. yall took that shi from mexicans and so did we so please don’t talk. Chucks, proclubs and dickies not your “peoples” style. Truth is older samoans don’t like black americans, don’t mean to generalize but in cali blacks are disrespectful, arrogant, and are completely different in terms of culture. Our older generation has no problem with real africans. Because they have culture, manners, and are respectful.

[@malietoasamoa1301]

Yeah sadly I'm a Samoan in NZ and I've been to Australia too but when I meet Samoans from America some seem to have a rivalry with the black community while the rest of us Samoans who don't live in the US jus laugh at our brethren in the states😂

[@slug8914]

@@malietoasamoa1301 It must be pretty funny huh. When we came to America, California specifically we were getting shot left to right because we were beating blacks up whenever we had altercations. We were poor coming to the US so naturally we were dumped in the ghettos of Cali with blacks and mexicans, so yes there is/was a rivalry between us and blacks. We were forced in the same space so naturally we would fight blacks because they are disrespectful and arrogant. That actually hurts uce that you hadn’t know our struggles once we got to the US.

Stop. The vast majority of black people in the usa have absolutely no contact with Samoans. Y'all gotta stop this crap. Where are Samoans even concentrated at on the mainland? West coast California, Washington and Oregon. Define it would be out west. I am from the south and have never met a somoan that I can remember. Even in my travels throughout the country. Most black people are from the south and the east. Most don't deal with them because they simply are not around us like that. Just because a couple of dudes you may know have mentioned something.
