Dear African Americans: Many People in Africa Are Not Pro Black!!!

A lot of people want to move to the Continent or repatriate here and take advantage of the opportunities that Africa can give to an African American. However, you are going to quickly notice that many people do not share the same Pan African or Pro Black spirit that you hold. A lot of people believe that the European Standard is better. In order to survive here, you need to understand that you cannot waste your time trying to wake everyone up to think like you. Keep focused on what you are doing on the continent. Don't get discouraged with other childish things. Let your work show for you.

I’m I Ugandan who has lived in America for 15 years now, I feel irritated too when I go home and how White folks are given special treatment. It stems from a belief that all white people are rich , which isn’t the case! I have seen so many white people fundraising/begging to help them to African for mission.

Each case is different. In SA, I have had waiters tell me they don't like serving Africans/ Blacks becasue they don't tip or tip that well. Given the small or no pay (relying solely on tips for some of them) they prefer white patrons because they know 9/10 they will get a decent tip (not to say all Africans don't tip) - and that is transport money, food on the table for thier kids, etc. We need an honest dialogue about these issues if we are to remove the stereotypes and build each other up.

Unfortunately, Africa has experience racism they just aren't smart enough to notice it. Black Americans experience racism long term, while Africans are just killed off threw Genocide. Whites are going to country to country and Genociding each African country one by one to take over. Example South Africa has been taken over by whites and the Africans are just calling it colonizing not knowing that colonizing is part of racism. Europe, Australia, Asia, Americas were all black full of Black people whites colonized all the continents and Africa is the last to take over and whites are taking over Africa one by one of each country.

That was my experience in Mombasa Kenya while serving in the US Navy.

No one would come and take our drink orders and all the girls were hovering over the white guys. As a young black man I was excited to be going to Africa but by the time I left I knew that we as a people was never going to pull it together. That was back in 1983. Family and friends didn't want to believe me until they started working with them. I know this isn't all Africans but the ones I encountered seem to have gotten there perception from television.

As a Nigerian, I wasn't really "black" until I left Nigeria. I had a college degree before leaving and that should tell you something. So, imagine an average Joe walking on the street of Lagos or Accra. People are largely unnformed. Of course, my teenage and college years were pre-internet days. It wouldn't have got better. People only know what they are taught or what they learn. We were told not to speak our local languages in our elementary and high school classes. In fact we had class captains that collected fines from students who flouted the rule. Important to put things in context. People were lied to on both sides. Things haven't really change. Imagine, members of the Nigerian senate recently purchased imported Toyota vehicles rather than buy from a foremost local vehicle manufacturer with a proven product. It's like a "disease" that has eaten deep.

@@ADE-of-LAGOS It's not a generalization. This is from a number of polls taken across multiple countries. The polls found only Russia, Nigeria, and one or two other countries had a favorable and supportive view of Trump. Instead of making excuses let's ask ourself why that is. Multiple other African countries took part in these polls and none had a positive view of the man. The reason why I even know this is because I ran across multiple Nigerians who I communicated with in day to day life and chats who had a favorable opinion of Trump so I thought to myself why is that? Maybe it's just a bias of the group of Nigerians I have interactions with. So I went looking online for polls and consistently ran across polls showing the majority of Nigerians supported Trump and articles of Nigerians who supported Trump.

Let's not pretend that doesn't happen outside the continent. I agree with you that we need to ignore the negative voices and negative behavior, that's for sure. Just as importantly, nobody should go anywhere with a paternalistic attitude. Go to Africa because it is home; just don't go there because you think you have all the answers and you're going to bring change. Africa belongs to all of us, we are all her children. Therefore it's up to all of us to make her great and to help her stand tall. If we can learn one thing from the Rwanda genocide or even the current issues between Fulani people and other ethnic groups in West Africa, it's that we don't even have to like one another, let alone see eye to eye. We just need to know AND understand that we all come from great people and we can hold our heads high when dealing with those who might, at first, think they're superior. They are not.

The African mindset is just different, in the diaspora African means Black, Black is the minority and there is a collective experience and history, which allows Pan Africanism to thrive. For the most part in Africa however(with the exception of North Africa, Namibia and South Africa) everyone is Black, people don't really see their colour, because their colour is everywhere, so it really doesn't hold much weight, it's a norm and their history's very different from the diaspora. In Africa most people cling to their tribe instead of their race. It shouldn't surprise anyone that tribalism is a big thing in Africa. This is the reason why it's not really uncommon to find that many Africans has no problem with white people or Asian people, but will hate some who is black, because chances are that black person they hate is from a tribe or nationality they hate.

I am a Kenyan, 18 years of age, and to be honest with you, not meaning to burst your bubble, Pan-Africanism never worked and will never do because it's filled with blind hatred and harmful identity politics. Creating economic opportunities for everyone is enough to attain human equality. Pan-Africanism in the 60s tended to be a socialist movement that created hierarchy and concentrated wealth among a few in the continent, impoverishing the rest. That's why the West intervened during the cold war and was forced into being involved in assassination of African leaders supporting socialism. In reality, not even the Soviet Union honestly supported African socialism(pan-Africanism), it was just good for their military business. Let's be honest here, African people need capital and freedom so that they can create wealth for themselves and grow. That's what Rwanda is doing, what Botswana did. This is my humble opinion as a Kenyan, and African teenager. I hope everyone can look at it that way

Most balanced piece that I have heard regarding this issue from an AA who has lived and worked in Africa. I will add that Africa is also very diverse and generally some countries will be more African centric or eurocentric based on historical influences. When most countries got independence from Europe the colonists transfered their ideology to the new rulers. Some of the new rulers like Nkurumah, Nyerere and Kaunda had a more African outlook. Others continued the colonisers mindset and through education the populations were indoctrinated. The African people through alternative education, oral tradition may on some level fight back aganst colonialism but many African leaders have learnt that that to survive they must not challenge the Eurocentric ideology too forcefully..

1....can l ask you a question? Do you understand the National Democratic Revolution (NDR as it's sometimes called)? 2. Pan Africanism is not a universally accepted thesis or ideology in Africa. Not every African is a Pan Africanist. 3. There are sugar daddies ( Blessers as they're called in South Africa) in the US as they're in Africa. 4. Racism ain't as prevalent in Africa in the same degree as it is in the West. 5. The essence and content of racism in Africa can't be juxtaposed with that in the West. 6. You might as well want to consider the fact that the 54 countries are different and had underwent different stages of colonialization and economic development post-independence. 7. Flowing from the above, it becomes clear that you are simplyfying a complicated phase of struggle in the epoch of neocolonialism.

Thank you for this video. This is something that has been going on in my mind for a while, and finally someone is talking about it. I was thinking that the African Americans going to Africa may be disapointed to find out that the other Blacks, ( from Africa, even the ones from the Caribbean) don't have any bad feelings toward White. Blacks from America have this uneasiness with White people, or even a hate, Not the Black in Africa, or even the Blacks from the Caribbean or South America. If you go to Europe, you will find out that many African women are in relationship with White men and have babies. In Canada it is the same thing. Only in America this hate for White exists. I am Black from Canada, we don't have that here. There are a lot of mixed couple Black and White around. As much as Black are interested in White, Many White are also interested in Blacks. I lived in America for a few years and was married to an African American. He couldn't understand why I didn't have this feeling toward White. I couldn't understand his bad feelings toward White either.

But since I was just new to your channel I thought it wise to manifest patience and really understand what you was doing and this video has helped me get a better understanding of your agenda and I want to believe it's all about the rise of the black man and taking control of our narrative, and our beautiful continent. You have spoken well, Africa ain't only peace and love we have a lot of problems here that could be very discouraging and heartbreaking to any diasporan coming back home. And this is the reason we really need to come together educate each, build a strong economy and stand as one people to face the oppressors.

[@VanLightning900]

Growing up in Nigeria, i never even called myself "black". My identity was being an Igbo Nigerian. Thats really how most Africans see themselves. Most black ppl here in the US place too much of an emphasis on skin color as the basis of their culture and heritage. But in Africa ppl just don't think that. It's not because of colonization or western imperialism (that's really condescending tbh). It's just because we just don't see race as the end all be all of who we are. Our cultural identities are tied to our languages and our traditions. NOT our skin color. So I don't immediately look at a Rwandan as a "brotha" just because we share the same skin tone. I myself am a pan Africanist (someone who pushes for the cultural and economic integration of all african peoples) but I think we all have to remember that the idea of "black people" is actually a modern western construct. Africans don't see each other that way and have NEVER seen each other that way and you shouldn't expect us too. I love how in this video you accept that and say its fine. The bottom line is to not always expect people to think like you. I just wish these comments would stop saying we're brainwashed or mentally colonized for thinking the way we do.

@@bdd2752 I hear you it's really not separatism but culturally and belief systems between tribes have such distinctive differences that you cant overlook them.

It is true that the interracial dating here is big, especially among sisters. There is also an inferiority complex that is race-based in the perspectives of most Africans. That said, don't we also know about the well-publicized love for white women by African Americans? I mean, we see all the big athletes having white partners - black Americans cannot therefore claim the moral high ground on this subject matter. Also, Africans mostly respect money and financial success more than philosophies, rhetorics and social justice causes - the AA community should simply come and take advantage of the resources here or otherwise the same void will be eagerly filled by the East

[@chezmaniac4912]

Get this straight about Africans in general... Africans are first inclined to thier Tribal Values. So Language and Culture is first. Next priority is Religion. Then third priority is Status and Income. The fourth priority is Nationality. Race is fifth priority. The average African will more likely have a problem with the first four priorities before the fifth... save for Zimbabwe and South Africa. In America especially with African American liberals race is first and foremost in these times. Africans are likely to be more concerned with how to put food on the table than meeting Tchalla (God bless 🙏🏿 him). And if Tchalla puts food on the table, He's welcome if Trump puts it he's welcome as well. As I said race is a lesser priority than many others in the African mindset.

[@Purwapada]

. yes exactly

[@mtadmin4961]
