Gullah-Geechee People

[@shallojalloh]

Im a proud Geechee-American!!! Originally form Georgia..but now living in Colorado

[@843shack]

Wow, my people are from SC and I never knew the history and culture was that rich. I moved away and corrected my dialect because I was ashamed of being referred to as Geechee. This video has instilled pride in my heritage and makes me want to know more.

[@TaurusVirgoDvineFem]

My paternal GrandFather was Gullah...his mouther was a ring shouter #proud!

[@malanirizarry728]

Beautiful history, all beautiful and all to be eventually forgotten if these documentaries do not continue. The Gullah are wise people and link lineage to Shem so I feel. The Lord knows his people whether grafted in or not. Yah bless the true Israel and Judah. Yah Bless our community's of Gullah Geeche. St.Simon Island ❤ born and raised.

[@audreytimothy35]

My grandfather was a preacher. He was from some part of South Carolina. He was my Mother Father. He had pass on before I was born. My oldest two sister's always told me stories about him.

[@hammisreal8265]

Growing up they tried to put me in speech classes but now I know why I talk the way I do Geechee til I die I know who I am and where I come from

[@Lucky-uz6jk]

My maternal grandmother & grandparents are from the Low-country in SC - Orangeburg to be exact so I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ we may be geechi Gullah

[@lyricalheaven]

[@TikTak83BaccW]

I'm geechee and creole. my dad's dad is from Florence Sc, and my mothers dad is from McComb Mississippi. I was born in Mississippi, but moved when I was 4 and grew up in NYC. I was always teased because new yorkers say I MUMBLE or SLUR when I speak. now I know why. i can TRY to talk clear and sound like a NY'er, but I just cant,

[@realfruit2895]

Tremayne Singletary Yes exact story of my life i live in Massachusetts now....I was thinking something was was wrong with me !!!!!!!

[@israelday6370]

Tremayne Singletary I'm from Ohio and you're not alone yet you should have told them I'm not British / European / and or a colonist. this isn't my native language so don't expect me to speak proper modern English which is 500 years old. ( old English is 1500 years old so if they spoke old English then the new yorkers might have something if u where English / a colonist / and or a European... self included. tell us some stories about ur tribe I would love to hear that story....

[@kevinwilds5225]

My Pa-Pa was Geechee him and his twin brother were from Myrtle Beach,I wish he was still alive so I couls question him about some of the history. I'm now starting to read about and educate myself on the Gullah-Geechee culture. I need to make a trip to Myrtle Beach.

[@thickyg567]

My mothers family is Gullah.......I did not know what she was talking bout until I seen this vid thank u!

[@RaMahUganda]

Yes I am just now finding out that all of those moments of the old mothers of the church walking in circles... shouting wailing sometimes happy and dancing .. and I would here words like nana or yam ... I as a kid was taught that yhis was omly a lazy spoken english and now lime 30 years later by searching my family line I find that this actually is a language and even better yet im a part of it... so im going to learn this language as it originally sounded I want to know the writing I want to know the tone and sound of it this is going to my main language english is now my second.

[@Young_Salone]

Shout out to the Gullah people

[@PaulPaid]

Just people who don't realize they are the true children of Biblical Israelites. and as a result they are grasping for an "african" identity.

[@andreadaniels8484]

Paul Shalom EXACTLY! ...Why does this documentary mention...Creole...but NOT HEBREW? Even Bible Hub recognizes "Gullah" as Hebrew for "bowl"...

[@vixxy02]

Beautiful people and culture!

[@breannajones2161]

We are not Africans we are Americans !!!!

[@THECABSOURHERE]

No some of these Gullah definitely African sweetheart

[@itsdestaynee]

I remember living in SC, and seeing the gullah people weaving baskets, and not really understanding why they were considered gullah and not black. .. then I heard them speak and couldn't understand. I was around 3rd grade or so.... Now as an adult I have learned a bit more and understand more. I love learning about the history, culture of the people that came before black Americans. I'm considered black American, but my dad did a geology test and is more than 70% African... I just wish we had more information. unlike other races it's harder to find out where exactly we come from. Nevertheless, I enjoy reading about Africans, islanders etc I know my roots are in there somewhere.

[@samanthajwright4839]

we are black hun. just different dialect.

[@DONNYPESO]

I believe they are still African American with just more African culture

[@fwc9500]

What are you talking about?

[@bishoptatum8737]

Uhhhh we’re all descendants of African ppl.

[@itsdestaynee]

Y’all replying to me. I posted this 5 years ago……. Like come one people learn and come to understandings at different times but this was 5 years ago…

[@dantemiller6550]

Wow I didn't know that there we Some African Americans that held on to their African Culture and truly made it there own amazing I even a little jealous. I have never heard of Gullah people until now, and my family are from the Carolinas.

[@emmanuelervin5035]

@Darline Williams Your knowledge is false. I used to follow that lying ass cult. Those are Street Masons. We are not Hebrews.

[@JUBABU4]

@bigpop042 much respect.. I am not Creole. I am probably the same folk you are. my point is that it is no need to call people outside themselves..

[@DinoSBlaise]

There is going to be a time where some imposters will claim to be Gullah once they learn about their history.

[@marcusdolby1]

Although I understand what your trying to say, I think that these people are NOT creoles. If you do some research you will most likley come to the same conclusion.

[@andreadaniels8484]

marcusdolby1 EXACTLY!

[@yudahel8521]

marcusdolby1 They aren't Africans

[@StahsayAli]

My ppl!!!

[@THECABSOURHERE]

Definitely African descent

[@char08fal]

Gullah-Geechee came from mostly Sierra Leone, Angola and Nigeria that were first sent to the Caribbean then shipped to the coasts of America.

[@emmanuelervin5035]

They are not carrbians those are pure blood African Americans.

[@derrickberry5453]

@@emmanuelervin5035 Basically pure blood Americans. American Indian. Shem. Some may have a little African cause a few came over and mixed with the true American. Copper Colored races.

[@trufemalepac]

Derrick Berry Exactly. So, this explains why Native Americans, Carribians, Dominicans, Cubans, Mexicans , Nicaraguans...get my point are ALL are of African descendants. My mother is Florida Geechie and My dad is a Lowcountry Geechie.

@JUBABU4 i do respect myself stop acting like yall some different people man!!! you are creoles stop trying to seperate yourselves.

[@LAMBYAH]

Yea, them Hamites and Arabs did our ancestors worse then the so-called white man. We spent over a thousands years fleeing across Africa warring, being taken advantaged of, our women raped and sold to African and Arab traders, our brothers castrated and killed. Similarly to how we learned all of the so-called white mans ways, so did we learn them African and Arab ways. All for rejecting YHWH, has all this mass confounding come upon us. Most of us romanticize a strange love for our enemies ways.

@@derrickberry5453 No they are Africans. They have already told you all this countless times. Unlike most black Americans they kept their African Roots. They are not Aboriginals. Aboriginals were the blacks that were helping to enslave our people in the US. They are not and never will be us. The Gullah people have stated countless times that they are Africans. Stop with this damn Aboriginal nonsense. You'll are becoming no better than white colonizers.
