Part 1: • Godfrey on Bushwick Bi...
-----
Godfrey and Vlad talked about Freeway Ricky speaking on the issues between African-Americans and Africans.
Godfrey agreed that there are issues between Africans and African-Americans, and noted that he sees it as a West African man in America. He noted that it comes mostly from Africans though. He pointed out a scene in ‘Sugar Hill’ with Wesley Snipes where he dealt with an African man during a drug deal.

[@1dcondave]

Traditionally, the term "nation" refers more to a people group, an ethnicity, rather than just a geographic location. The Roman Empire was an exception, but one could be a Roman citizen while also belonging to their home nation (such as St Paul, a Roman and a Jew). So far as I've seen, only the countries spawned from Britain have tried to truly adopt a notion of a multicultural nationality based more on ideals than ethnicity, however flawed that approach has been. A non-Chinese could emigrate to China, assimilate into the culture, learn the language, but would never truly be considered Chinese, but a Chinese family can come to America and within a generation be fully American in every sense of the word...

This is true, most of this judgement comes from the fact that a large number of African Americans have failed to make use of the opportunities in America. Though African Americans have been systematically oppressed, it can become an excuse at times for they failure. Africans, Asians, Haitians and other blacks go to America and manage to succeed with less opportunity and resources. That's where a lot of the dislike for African Americans stem from. I hope there will be a day when Malcolm X And Marcus Garvey dream will come through. All blacks living in unity regardless of the country you from or light or dark you are.

Over the years I understood why there was friction between these two groups. The racist American media always portrayed Africa as savage and backward and portrayed African Americans as gangsters, killers, evil… pinning one group against the other.

It’s differences between us because of the hardships we face which molds our people to become violent because each day we’re targeted but we are good people and we really want to connect with our african brothers and sisters and come back home.

[@SouthernGent44]

I don't understand how Africans can have the nerve to look down on black Americans. A relatively small number of blacks were kidnapped, with help from other Africans, and brought to the Americas. They were isolated and cut off from their language, culture, history, family, and homeland. There wasn't much they could do other than accept their new life in the Americas. On the other hand , Africans allowed Europeans to invade and take over and colonize almost their ENTIRE continent, and stood by while allowing themselves to be treated like dogs in their own homeland. That is FAR more disgraceful, embarrassing, and humiliating than what black Americans endured. Imagine someone coming into your house, claiming it for themselves, and allowing you to sleep in the garage or in the backyard toolshed. That's what Africans allowed to happen to them. Africans have no business looking down on ANYone.

[@chiemxerxobi]

Lamel Jarvis nah look I know this to be the truth that will continue to sever the relationship between black people as a whole(Africans, West-Indians, and African-Americans): There is jealousy, hate, and ignorant prejudice coming from all sides. I almost lost all my self-confidence because I was treated as a ‘weird African nigga’, the exact words from someone I thought was supposed to be my brotha. See the problem is that the baby boomers and generation X Africans(I.e our parents and grandparents) already form a misconception about black Americans not only based on what they see on T.V but also because of what they see when they come here. You gotta understand that the importance of morals and respect is of an utmost importance to Africans in general and so the freelancing, comparatively wayward life that they see when they migrate here makes them wary and even more so Afraid of their children’s future in a foreign land because it could go sideways and out of their control. Therefore, they roll with the flawed mentality that all African-Americans are disrespectful and even lazy and try to pass that down to their children. Their African children, in turn struggle with fitting in to the society especially if they also migrated because it seems to them that they have to become like their American counterparts to be accepted which may not even end up happening, while the ones that were born here start to disagree with their parents more and more because they grew up here, so they have no background or understanding of what Africa is like and why it is important to stay focused and watch the friends they keep. You have to understand that although Africans have this problem of quick misconceptions, their victims are not just black Americans but also white people and other people in fact. And this is the same with black Americans but with a twist of satire and light-heartedness that makes it seem like it’s no harm when it actually does psychological and social damage to black unity. You see this is because African Americans while being very generous are more impatient and intolerant of people with a different background than them especially when it comes to a different black ethnic culture because us as Africans will not be used to the American way of doing things and cannot all of a sudden adapt and then become just like our black counterparts from America. That’s loosing our own identity man!😪😪😪. None of the black people that approached me when I first came to America in 10th grade were eager to truly help me because I was just that, different. I didn’t understand the culture of football, didn’t know what the bloods and crips were, didn’t know that kids started driving very early, wasn’t used to kids disrespecting teachers as common practice!, wasn’t used to none of that and I saw all of em cut me off or just make fun of me and insult me cuz of that. That’s why till this day, I keep asking myself if it takes someone being able to start making fun of themselves and others like Michael Blackson does to receive love or acceptance in this society. I kept wondering why even the Africans that grew up here I met when I arrived were ashamed of me and this is the sad truth for a thousand and one other Africans. We are hurt in our workplace, schools, communities, and so on by our own black brothers and sisters, and the only excuse some select few can give us is that we sold them during slavery. Like nigga what? How is that supposed to further pan-Africanism and black unity as a whole? I bleed sometimes, watching my people cry 😢 because I know that while Africans can be quickly prejudiced, we are very loving and care about our brothers and sisters. There’s just that clash for the African Americans between being black and being American that although creating a unique culture for y’all in America, drives the resentment and just flat-out condescension towards Africans. Also one more thing I wanted to add is that Africans tend to be unhappy with African Americans because many of them do not understand why they do not work with the same passion and focus to succeed through education or other legal means like we do. Many Africans understand that the years of systematic oppression has kept the African Americans at a disadvantage in America and many atimes, it’s hard for lower class blacks that live in the hood to make it through education. But the thing is that Africans reason that if them, as immigrants from the mud are able to fight to succeed, then their black brothas and sistas should have that same drive too. This is a discussion and topic that still needs to be covered and dealt with extensively. I know that no matter the problems that we have now, there is always that inner joy and pride and love that shines in all our hearts as black people whenever we see each other and so I pray to God that he heals all our wounds and helped us to be able to truly love each other as a people so we can go forward.

The black people from the continent of africa that call African Americans akata are Nigerians specificaly. Africa is not the name of that continent, the europeans called it that name to cover up the truth. It is Nigerians that came up with that name. It puts a bad and a negative image on us Black people that live in the black continent of africa. Many Nigerians say that the word akata in Nigerian Igbo or yuroba languages mean something positive In their traditional languages. The Word Akata is a negative Word invented by Nigerians, I as a Cameroonian do not support it. Because it puts divisions amongst us Black people. I have worked hard to talk to Nigerians to stop calling black people in America that name because it is a negative Word, and it puts seperation and decision among us.

We See You As Our Brothers and Sisters. We Africans in the black continent of africa understand the hardship you African Americans and the Black people all over the world including South America have been through and endured in the hands of the White people/europeans. We Africans respect you African Americans, we understand all the hardship you went through to fight for your rights and the rights of Black people as a whole. We in Africa endured our own hardship in the hands of the Europeans/invaders, but our hardship is nothing compared to what you black people in America went through. I have tried to tell my Nigerian brothers to stop calling black people in America that name, even if it means something positive in their native tongues, it is negative in English and it is also negative the way they say it and direct it. We Africans respect you African Americans and black people all over the world, that is why Ghana and other Countries in Africa are opening up paths And welcoming Black people in America to invest in the black continent of africa, to open up businesses in Africa so that the continent will grow, innovate, and develop. These Countries and the whole Continent of africa is Welcoming black people in America and all over the world to come and visit. To see the Beauty of the black continent of africa. The hardship you African Americans went through in the hands of the Europeans, I can never imagin it or comprehend it. African Countries are in modern slavery today, specificaly western and central Africa, these countries are controlled by European powers like France. The countries that manage to think freely and welcome black people in Africa are the ones that are not controlled. We Africans love and respect you African Americans and black people all over the world. Thank for reading this comment. God Bless.

Lastly, I think as least for us Nigerians, we don't really focus on Western agendas which is another reason AAs and Africans don't see eye to eye.

Part of the problem is that Godfrey has met a handfull of Africans versus an entire continent of Africans. As Africans we always have to remind people like Godfrey that AFRICA IS NOT A COUNTRY. It is a continent of 54 different countries, from Tunisia to South Africa...over 2000 languages spoken by many individual cultural groups...each African with their own opinions and views about the African diaspora. Godfrey claims to be woke yet he, like the colonisers and racists, enthusiastically lumps every one of us into a stereotypical bracket of "Africans look down upon African Americans"...or "Africans call us names like "cotton picker"' (even though most African countries never had slaves shipped to America or Europe and would have no idea what he is talking about)...seriously. He certainly does not know Africans as much as he claims to. I am African, born and raised. I have nothing but love and admiration for the African diaspora...not only African Americans...but also African Caribbeans, African Asians, African Australasians as well as African Europeans. I have relatives and friends who were brave enough to seek greener pastures in the diaspora...against many odds. My country of origin, Zimbabwe, celebrates every African diasporan with a hint of Zimbabwean blood...from Danai Gurira to Tinashe Kachingwe...who are both African American. At the end of the day, in the worlds of Thabo Mbeki, one is not African because they were born in Africa...one is African because Africa was born within them.

[@cloj4754]

When I hear white people calling Africa a country I don't care. What shocks me is people who claim to be "African" American saying the same thing. Africa is so damn big. So big you can fit then entire Mexico, USA inc Alaska, Canada and the Caribbeans in it and still have room left over. Or so big that you could literally fit 3 Europes and still have space left over! All that only for people who call themselves African American to treat that entire land as a single country. Its incredible.

As an Ethiopian, I have always felt a strong connection to my African American brothers and sisters. When I was a freshman in college, I was new to the US and was lonely. It was my African American friends who really helped me feel at home and welcomed. They are funny, easy to be friends with, and always there to support you just because you are black. As someone who comes from a African country that was not colonized, I had limited knowledge about slavery and systematic racism. The black history I was taught focused on the heroism of my ancestors, but my African American friends had a different experience. They were taught that they were not as competent as white people and were often subjected to negative stereotypes perpetuated by the media. Some of them were even brainwashed into believing that they could not succeed in STEM fields or that they needed to spend a lot of money on jewelry and sneakers in order to appear wealthy. I remember discussing about African culture and stereotypes with them. I used to believe that Black people in America have more opportunities than in other countries and used slavery as an excuse. Now, I understand the impact of slavery and racism on Black people's experiences and opportunities. Despite our different backgrounds, my African American friends and I loved and supported each other through it all. If you're reading this, Sydney, Jack, and Jasmine, you guys are the best!

Forexample When someone curses or swears most Africans will self withdraw and then the African American will feel looked down upon. Also our world views differ.

I think Godfrey is pandering to his African American audience. He even admits he was called "African booty scratcher" by African Americans and still fails to acknowledge the existence of this type of derision from ignorant African Americans towards Africans. Conversely, some Africans ignorantly typecast all African Americans with the ghetto, no-good image the media perpetuates. Truthfully, many immigrants from Africa, Asia, South & Central America etc struggle to understand why African Americans are not making more progress in the American society. They do not always comprehend the historical context of the African American's struggle in America. That said, irrespective of Godfrey's opinion, there definitely exists a tendency to ridicule Africans, especially with the less educated African Americans. I find that the more enlightened African Americans are typically delighted to see an African and are eager to identify with one.

Of course, it would be Nigerian or someone of Nigerian descent to claim to speak for all Africans on a topic like this. As someone who is East African and has been to the states to study it goes both ways in my opinion. One on hand you have the Black Americans who want to learn about African culture and different countries. On the other hand, there are also Americans who make jokes about africans or know nothing and think of Africa as one country instead of as a continent. Similarly there will be Africans who like anyone anywhere might be cliquey and only want to be around people who are from where they're from and anyone outside that they may act uncomfortable with but I wouldn't say Africans "look down at Black Americans" simply because they are descendants of slaves. that's such a closed-minded way of viewing things. I'm just surprised he didn't see the irony in the way he chooses to speak for all Africans on a subject like this while he himself didn't grow up in Africa/Nigeria and instead grew up in an immigrant family.

He spoke about people in his own family and used the term African as he was speaking generally not specifically. Your the one beng specific when you mention his heritage in an obvious attempt to single yourself out as somewhat better. Ironically, your doing the very thing he spoke about.

[@shimmer4771]

Actually, from my experience, most Africans have a negative view about Blacks. Unfortunately, this is due to social conditioning and cultural barriers. Many Africans watch videos of Black Americans and judge by it.

[@uchenna127]

@@shimmer4771 It's not due to any conditioning, it's due to personal experience. The perception of Africa and Africans in the West is generally negative and Black Americans being Western are not exempt from that mindset. Which is why they will belittle and make fun of Africans when they come to America. It's those personal experiences that form the foundation of dislike or distancing from Black Americans. Of course, not everyone is the same, so not everyone will react the same way to the same experiences. For example, Michael Blackson was made fun of, all throughout his childhood, but he didn't let it sour his perception of Black Americans.

[@shimmer4771]

@@uchenna127 I partially agree, but a woman from Camaroon said that many Africans watch a lot of shows Black Americans are in and they tend to form stereotypes about us based on that.

[@warsame2245]

It goes both ways, some of the most racist sh!t I have ever heard against africans were said by AA's, I was dumbfounded.

[@BeeBre525]

It sure does but most of it comes from not having the proper education and what we've seen on TV. As I grew older I noticed that Africans were so much more but I was told by Africans that they don't care for us Black Americans. That they think were lazy and do not take advantage of what we have here. It's like people on the outside looking in. Like Rick said Black Americans support and accept any race which is true. So why cant people return the favor because we're really hated. Lol

I feel Godfrey is pandering here. As a Nigerian, I definitely agree that SOME Africans, mostly the elders, look down on African-Americans and other Black groups. But the same way they would look at other African tribes rudely. These same Africans also sometimes look down on us Africans who grew up in the Westerrn World. But you NEVER hear stories of African-Americans, and Caribbeans feeling traumatized by years of merciless bullying (verbal and physical) by Africans. We typically just verbally respond and that's it.

[@poochm9362]

BeachChairz not true, let me explain. I’ve met many many africans from all over (depending on where they are from and age differences of course) a lot are mean and rude for absolutely no reason..and they teach this dumb behavior to their offsprings. Many of them feel invincible while here in this country die to how american blacks are treated..I’ve even met many africans that say they are on a higher level than us cause of how we are treated...now i will say this i also know many African children born overseas that get petty treatment from family members..especially if they don’t speak the native tongue...but all in all you can’t just dismiss the fact that even the younger generation hate on black americans..especially if they are first time travelers

Pale Face has got us divided. The Afrikans within AmeriKKKa are still Afrikan.

[@BeachChairz]

@@poochm9362 Yea I actually experience what your African friends experience when they go home, people try making fun of me because I'm not as fluent in my native tongue as them....until they get punched out! The African youngers "hate" on Black Americans is reactionary to all the bullying that they receive or have received from Black Americans. You got assholes on our side, but you don't deal with as much from them as people like myself do.

[@poochm9362]

BeachChairz but that’s an opinion, you can’t tell me that they aren’t as “harsh” because of your own personal experience just as I can’t dismiss your personal experience which is why I didn’t. Please understand that all people no matter where they are from are different despite culture not everyone contains themselves..so i have met very rude and vulgar africans that act this way on a regular and don’t intend to change it because of how they think..one of the main reason i only go to specific international stores and I’m jamaican. You need to understand that what Godfrey said is real..and NO that “picking on african children” stuff died down YEARS ago..the new and fresh young african kids are coming here with that mindset already in their head and they live by it until they test the wrong person and get beat up. I see it happen all the time..

[@poochm9362]

BeachChairz also, I’m sorry for the pettiness of your family..there should never be a reason to treat family like an outsider over simple things as language and culture...i stick up for my friends a lot because of it..a lot of them hate their family because of this bad treatment and it’s very sad

[@hassanm.5291]

Brother Godfrey you’re Nigerian? First please go to Nigeria learn something about your culture that’s what Obama did. Africa has 56 countries, a continent larger than 50 US states put together. Definitely you have zero knowledge of what you’re talking about here. We love you as our brother, but dig deep into your own culture then talk to the world about this mess.
