Personally, I don't think West Africans are blessed but feel they've been punished for kidnapping and selling everyone they could get their hands on. Look at the turmoil, poverty, illiteracy, corruption and thousands of wars they've been through over the last 400 years. The number of people West Africans kidnapped and sold filled up the Caribbean, Belize, Brazil, Cuba, USA, Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela and all countries in the Americas. They have been punished by God and the awful condition they live in today are the result of them selling their people. And they still buy and sell slaves today. It's hard for me to understand how Black Americans put Africans on high pedestals when their ancestors are the ones who did the kidnapping and selling of people but despise the white people who bought our ancestors. They were all in on it together. We're here and we're from the Americas a land our ancestor helped to built and we should honor their legacy. Not with anger but with pride. Know history but don't make up fantasies about it.

A few weeks ago I visited the Whitney Plantation located in Wallace, LA - this plantation has been turned into a museum where the focus is on the slaves and slave children of the Whitney. It's the first museum of its kind in America. To your point about people saying "if it were them...they would do this or wouldn't allow this to happen...or refuse to be a slave, etc...". We have to keep in mind, once the slaves reached these shores in America, they were in a foreign land....even when many tried to runaway - they had no idea where they were going. Because all they knew was the plantation. It's easy to say what one wouldn't do in the comforts of this day however back then - slavery was NORMAL. Slaves on the Whitney Plantation worked 16-18 hours a day - 6 sometimes 7 days a week! Their life spans were on average 10 years! No one in this day can ever say what they would or wouldn't do back then...that was an entirely different era...

I think you forget many Africans escaped slavery and reached North America and Canada, Don't forget Harriet the greatest Heroin in history and Nat Turner who started one of biggest slave revolt in America. In the Caribbean the African gave the slave masters hell, many revolts has been recorded the Maroons in Jamaica fought 3 wars with the British, the black Caribs of St Vincent fought the British also and thr Africans of Haiti drove the French out and formed the first independant nation in the Western Hemisphere. Slavery was the worst thing to happen some black people, but we all of us didn't take it lying down.

It's tough to watch videos on the Middle Passage. Hard to say would I rather had died than go through slavery and have my ancestors deal with Jim Crow and all the other stuff still happening. But let's not forget that back in high school they taught us that a white man named Patrick Henry said "Give me liberty or give me death." He preferred death than living under King George III which pales in comparison to slavery. Also slavery is really a curse on the continent of Africa. Most scholars on the subject agree that without the help of Africans there is no way that slavery would have been successful rounding up people from the interior to be sold off. You would think the Europeans would have been happy to stop there after getting slaves to toil their new found colonies. Then they came up with this idea of "the white man's burden" where they are the saviors of "people of backward civilization." This led to the colonization of just about the entire continent except arguable with the exception of Ethiopia ( I still remember Emperor Haile Selasseie when I was a boy). I read of "Mansa Musa (about 1280 - about 1337) was an emperor (mansa) of the Mali Empire during the 14th century. He became emperor in 1307. He was the first African ruler to be widely known throughout Europe and the Middle East." He is said to have been the richest man in the world in today's dollars. www.businessinsider.com/mansa-musa-the-richest-person-in-history-2016-2/ Timbuktu, the well-known learning center outside of Egypt in west Africa was around long before slavery. So all this talk about bringing civilization to backward people was propaganda to justify slavery. The Europeans used to trade with Africans long before slavery. The problem is when the Europeans discovered the New World their own people --indentured servants- were dropping dead like flies due to the intense labor. The British first tried having the Irish work the sugarcane fields in the West Indies but the Irish were dropping dead from the heat and labor. So who best to work and toil on soil similar to the West Indies and the Carolinas but African slaves. Got nothing to do with backward uncivilized people but with demonizing a race of people to justify forced labor. Unfortunately this negativity has continued through centuries the demonization of Africans and blacks as uncivilized and savages. When I visited the ancient Egyptian artworks at the Brooklyn Museum it's mentioned that the people who were responsible for the civilization of Africa came from the southern part of Egypt and not the northern part. And that they were black people not what was told over centuries. Just that the white anthropologists refused to admit that blacks were responsible for such a great civilization that was at the frontier of all civilizations where even the so-called father of medicine, Hipppocrates from Greece, actually studied medicine in Africa in Egypt.

Reminiscing; “MY SANKOFA” (A born again experience.) FLASHBACKS of an EARLY African-American PIONEER who relocated to Ghana, (to join the ranks of Freedom-Fighters) after participating in a vicious war to liberate the South Korean, from the communist north; during the cold-war. On my seventeenth birthday I asked for and received my (single mother’s of 7) consent, to drop out of Buchanan Michigan High School, to join the U.S. Army after promising her I'd take advantage of their education programs and complete my education. I would also be able to help out financially by remitting a portion of my military salary to her, she being a single mother of six. One week after my 17th birthday I was assigned to Fort Riley Kansas for 16 weeks of basic infantry training. On completion I was sent to Fort Belvoir Virginia, for a course in combat engineering. It was there I learned of the escalating conflict in Korea and along with the entire class, volunteered for combat service there. At the time it was said to be a “Police-Action.” Our main concern was it would be over before we got there. December 4, 1950, I arrived in Inchon, South Korea and assigned to the U.S. Army’s last all-Black unit, the 24th Infantry Regiment Combat Team, aka Deuce4, the last unit of the original Buffalo Soldiers. During the 9 months I served as a Rifleman I was wounded twice, received the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, the Combat Infantry Badge and four Battle Stars. After Korea, I served two years as a paratrooper in Japan, before being honorably discharged in 1954. I later attended the American Academy of Art, in Chicago from 1957 to 1959, where I met and was mentored by Mr. Gus Nalls, (veteran of WW-2) in the art of oil painting. After four years I relocated to New York City in the early 1960s, where I joined a group of Black Artists, The 20th Century Art Creators. It was during that time (the civil-rights struggle) I became disillusioned with the social and political situation in America and decided to relocate to Africa, and in 1965 I left for Ghana with less than $300 in my pocket. On arrival in Ghana I was welcomed by a fellow artist Tom Feelings, one of President Kwame Nkrumah's advisors, and introduced to other expatriates living in Ghana at the time. During the 1960s and 1970s, the African American expatriates living there included artists, Tom Feelings, Ted Pontifeif, Julian Mayfield, Herman Bailey, Alton Carlo, Earl Smith, Frank Robinson, Judson Hudson, Max Bond, Jim Lacy, John W. Ray, Charles Danial, Jerry Harper, Lesley Lacy, Leroy Mitchell, Edith Major & Charles Simpson, Maya Angelou, Nell I. Painter, Alice Windom, Dr. Shirley Graham DuBois, Maya Angelous and a few others. Our selected spokesman was Dr. Robert Lee, a medical dentist & wife, Shirley Lee; also a Dentist. (with the excepting of 4) MAY THEY RIP. Most African-American male there, like myself were “Disillusioned-Veterans; who had fought for the RIGHT’S of other’s, that were denied us in our own country. So rather than suffer such dehumanizing on return to America, we to a man, had decide to return our ancestral land and take part in its liberation… Each in our own way. After being adopted by an Ashanti-Paramount Chief, Nana kwaku Duah (1966) and given the name “Kojo Acheampong.” I spent the next eleven (11) years living in Ghana, often traveling to Togo and the Ivory Coast to market my jewelry. I earned a living by learning and making jewelry of traditional designs which I carved from cow-horns and ivory after fully immersing myself in the culture. On my return to the United States in 1976, I was able to contribute to the growing interest in African art and culture. IT WAS A BORNAGAIN EXPERIENCE. In addition to my art and jewelry, I've published “The Return of the African-American,” detailing my journey of self-discovery in Africa which I later revised as “MY SANKOFA.” My second book is, “What’s a Commie Ever Done to Black People?” details my experiences in the Korean War WHICH exposed what it is like to fight as a United States-African American Soldier for the human-rights and freedom for other people’s, while being denied such RIGHT’S, in our own country… MY SANKOFA aka; “Return to the PAST, for knowledge that’ll help understand PRESENT; and prepare for the FUTURE.” should be A MUST READ for all African-American, and well meaning people worldwide. ******************* In 2015 I had my DNA done and discover 87% of my-family’s ancestors are from the Ashanti-Akim area. The same area of Ghana I had lived for 11 years... 1965 to 1976. DETAILS BELOW: www.amazon.com/Curtis-James-Mo…/…/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0 ENJOY & SHARE.

One of the key reasons why I don't condone using the word nigga in everyday talk. Will correct a brother if I hear him address me as nigga; or calling a black woman "bitch". Thx for sharing this.

I guess the music fills the gap where there is no talking. Even in the background it is a little distracting.

Good work but my only question is is the Christian God real or fiction coz the same people who brought Christianity to us maltreated us even up till now and in their Bible since colonial year it was stated that do good and move to heaven and do bad and u go to hell so my question is where they not aware of their DOINGS?

I just wanted to say your statement made me think. Am I placing my mark on this earth with the opportunity I have been given, the opportunity to live. Some don't even get the opportunity of life. Also, no matter what you post some one will have something negative to say. But there are people that are grateful for your video(s).

This comment is years later...but that statement about saying thank you is important - I was born in the U.K. (now 59 years old) but my parents come from St Lucia in the Caribbean. We were all raised in a very Afrocentric family - both of my parents where activists for the betterment of African people (my parents never referred to themselves as black - they were African) - my sister taught African history, and we all grew up with a pride of who we were. I’m posting this because it reminded me that each night as kids we always prayed as a family before bedtime - and we would always finish our prayers thanking the ancestors. It was a key part of my upbringing - to thank those who endured and survived slavery and other things so that I could live and prosper. It drummed into me that not living my best life was not an option, I owed it to the people who went before me and gave so much. Both of my parents have now passed, but I have to say I had the best parents anyone could wish for - they gave me teachings that I have carried with me through life, and have in turn passed onto my kids.

First of all, thank you for sharing your videos. I do enjoy all of your videos and your smiles, you're amazing! As for Christianity in Africa it will soon be a thing of the past. Many of us were once a victims but now we know better. But there is something you should know, that depending where you're standing to view a triangle, the shape always look different. My point is that Africans on African soil may not see things like people in the diaspora . I was born and raised in African but until I got to the US things wasn't clearer. The truth is being past on and especially the youth are waking up. The future is actually looking good. WE SHALL REINSTALL OUR HERITAGE THROUGH THE GUIDANCE AND THE HELP OF ANCESTORS.
