You don't even get along with your own people yet you're expecting a stranger in a third world country to show you favour just because you're black. Leave that victim mentality at home if you ever plan to travel outside of America, nobody owes you anything in life. I'm a Kenyan born abroad and I get the same treatment but do you know what I do? I deal with it. I've learned that Kikuyus are the most greedy Kenyans so I avoid living among them. I haggle and find spots where I can get a fair price.

I was about to comment something similar. love how succinct your comment it tho! I would put language as first and highest priority. Psychologically language is the key to effective communication, connection, assimilation, etc. Americans the world over seem to severely neglect the this aspect - I had a friend living in Germany even, who hated his experience and felt out of touch with the people. I asked if he spoke any bit of the language, he clamped up and expressed resistance to really needing to learn or speak it. Made no sense to me, but to each their own.

In 2006 one of My Cousins tried to live & set up a Business in Nigeria. Every time he get with the Locals for business meetings, someone's under the table trying to Pick-Pocket him or when he'd turn his back his briefcase is stolen. Then trying to buy land to build a house on, he got scammed. Got tired of being scammed to pay more just because he's an OTHER. Eventually he left after 1-1/2 years and come back to The Bronx never to return to anywhere in Africa. I told him I don't care where I go I have to be on high-alert like I'm in NYC and treat everyone with skepticism. I know a few other people who went to Africa and got scammed on land deals, Marriages, etc.

But americans are the other. When my grandparents brought me first time to Ghana they tought ne not just how to speak, but what to speak. My mothers family are not "black" or " american" , they are ewe , l can recite the genealogy of both my maternal grandparents till their grandparents. I never hot jumped, stolen from, scamed etc l am family, if something happens to me there will be others asking for justice . Americans come to Ghana and think that just because tgey are from the US and have money they shoukd get a good or better treatment, then the locals. And it just isn't true. Worse part is that americans (of what ever race, this isn't limited to african americans) expect the US treatment outside of US. Don't want to pay gifts to officials, don't want to pay protection (and they aren't local. If an Ewe tries to live in ghana among non Ewe he will be an outsider too, no one cares what citizentship you have) , they don't bargain which insults the other person buying or sellin. I am half Serbian and in Ghana l am considered more african , then the most pan african of pan africans in the US. And then there is cultural stuff americans don't get. the Bantu consider everyone lesser then them , black or not . They have a social hierarchy within the Bantu ethnic groups. The Zulu condider ALL non Zulu not fully human . I have seen a dude praise a Huttu artist at a bar, in a region that was Tuttsi.

As a Caribbean person who has lived in 4 countries, spent a lot of time in other countries (4,5,6 months at a time) spent time in Kenya and Ghana, have several friends and relatives who have travelled in a similar way, I feel that I have some insight as to what the problem is. One person complained of being scammed and I know in many non-American communities the principal issue is haggling, that is to say a vendor will always tell someone who they believe to be foreign a significantly higher price than the local person and generally expect you to get into the haggling game. Most of us who are westernized hate doing that. As a healthcare professional in Boston most of my customers who recently migrated to the US wanted to haggle. I would carefully explain to them that in that situation they will lose simply because I am the one with better knowledge of local prices and since they are out of their element they will lose. I was able to convince most of them to avoid haggling. However when the shoe is on the other foot you must find local people to tell you the price or do the buying for you. Be patient and understand other people's culture, talk extensively to locals about their country.

Those of us trying to go back to Africa now are like a child who was kidnapped from their family and returns after 40 years missing. We have this nostalgic memory of your family but the family members who were left behind when you were kidnapped went through their own emotional turmoil and coping mechanisms over the years. Their reaction to your return is influenced by all kinds of factors and the dynamics within the family are not what they used to be. We been gone 400 years. Rebuilding the trust within the family is gonna be tough and take time because of the prolonged separation and the circumstances surrounding our abduction. Everybody is gonna need time to process their emotions, communicate openly, and work towards reconciliation. This is why the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said America is where we suffered, bled, and died. We deserve a piece of it for ourselves so that those of us who wish to stay can stay, and those who wish to return to Africa can leave. We been through some stuff my people.

[@leskobrandon691]

Don't forget there would have been no abduction if it weren't for your black African Brothers. In fact, the only abduction taking place was by other Africans. Do you think the Europeans landed on the coast & sent out raiding parties? Probably you do, but that's not how it worked. The Africans abducted other more vulnerable Africans. That's when the abduction occurred... when they were captured. They then sent them to the coast where they were held until they were sold. And they were sold to everyone. All citizens of the world. It's just that the America's were being settled, as well as the carribean, and a greater percentage of the slaves were sent west. So there was every nationality buying you guys. You will never admit this I'm sure, but being sent to the colonies was like winning the lottery for the slaves. In many countries in the carribean & central & S. America, plus in the ottoman empire, slaves were castrated, worked to death, or both. They weren't all that interested in growing their own slave population. That guaranteed a horrible existence. That may seem alright, but I guarantee it wasn't if you were a slave in one of those areas. There were upwards of 12,000,000 Africans carried to the America's & Islands, but only 380,000 slaves were destined for the colonies. Yes...380,000 is the number of African slaves that came to the then British colony of America. Doesn't seem right I'm sure based on all the propaganda that has been planted into the heads of black Americans. But those are the facts. If you came to America, the slave owners had a vested interest in keeping you alive & not overly abusing you. Most slaveholders kept families together, allowed their slaves to marry, etc. I'm not trying to whitewash things, simply presenting a side that is never, and I mean never represented in our modern discourse. It's all about the oppressed/oppressor relationship, which is a waste of time as of course they were oppressed. But that's not the story because almost everyone was poor & oppressed. The story is the sagas of overcoming. Of surviving & maintaining your own self dignity. Slavery didn't destroy the dignity of black people. Freedom sure did! I'm not pro slavery or anti black. I am, however, a realist & black people, in spite of Jim Crow & all other forms of racism, did just fine on their own. Between 1940 & 1960, black poverty went from like 70% to under 40% in 20 years... the highest gain of any ethnic group in any time period in our history. The marriage rate was very similar to that of whites, and single mothers were the exception, not the norm. It only took about 10 years of government pampering before all of those trends reversed. It annoyed to tampering, not pampering. Tampering with the formulas that were working for black people. That's why education is so important. And it was because the government took over the role of the man in the house. That is what is sad. That, and the sorry state of our education & the false narratives that circulate within black culture that tends to place all blame, for all things, on white people. Look where it got blacks? It destroyed everything you all had built & you've never fully recovered. And it's sad to think about, but I don't think the trend is going to reverse anytime soon. For as long as the truth is buried in lieu of all the lies, it's impossible almost to move forward. Until the whole picture is presented fairly & equally understood by all, then there's nothing that can be done because nothing worthwhile will occur when one's reality is based on falsehoods.

Look here as a Nigerian when I come home for vacation or whatever as soon as they find out that I live abroad they feel like I don’t know anything anymore and they feel they can take advantage of me. They first of all in their mentality put me in a different upper class, which to them means I have extra more to spend, and they will do anything legally to get extra more from me or even scam if that is easier way to get a little extra from me. Not because they have anything against me, but because I can afford to give up a little extra to a brother or a sister. So when I listen to my African American brothers and sisters crying that they are not treated as fellow Africans because they are scammed, asked to pay more, and therefore hated or not welcomed I laugh.

I don't mind being seen as a foreigner in Africa. I've been a foreigner in two countries filled with people who didn't look like me, and managed fine. I currently live in China, one of the most xenophobic countries out there. I know what it feels like to be perpetually kept out and to not feel like you belong. Despite that I've still learned the languages of the places I've lived, followed the rules and as many social norms as I could to not expose myself to undue mistreatment, and managed to meet decent people. When I go to Africa this year and eventually to live as an expat, I'll do the same: immerse myself in the language(s), adapt and integrate the culture into my daily life, make friends with local people, and make money + be productive for the people around me. Culture can be learned. Language can be learned. A new way of life can be learned. The light at the end of the tunnel is that the process of learning those things will be at least a little better because I'll be doing it among people who look like me and wont instantly shut me down or feel disgust because of how I look.

In my country South Africa we got all these non-black folks setting up shop here, and yeah most of them are mad racist. Can't even support their businesses. Imagine if more Black people were starting their own businesses . Sure, we got differences, but we should at least try to bridge the gap. Lately, I've been seeing this division propaganda online, and we need to rise above I can't really speak for the entire continent, but at least in my country Black Americans aren't viewed as foreigners and are often welcomed with open arms. From what I've observed those visiting get a warm welcoming. We even go the extra mile of giving them African names as a sign of connection and respect. It's a vibe that speaks to the hospitality we share in this corner of Africa. In my country we believe in Ubuntu which means unity - a principle that echoes the spirit of togetherness and respect for one another as Africans.Lately, I've been seeing this division propaganda online, and we need to rise above .

Do you have any recommendations for how to learn Mandarin Chinese, whether it be at a basic level or more? Was it living there in China that helped it click quicker for you or did you have a tutor?

[@DmarquettePainter]

@@horizonrising3216 I definitely had to hire a tutor. It’s best to have a consistent person to practice with and build your confidence. As for learning mandarin as a beginner, learn the tones and tone pairs. Super important. There are like 20 words that you can learn that have nearly every tone combination in mandarin. Learn the pronunciation differences between English and Mandarin, some starter phrases, and you’re good to go. Hop in, find a tutor and start speaking Mandarin gets a bad wrap for being extremely difficult, but if you start with speaking, tones, and pinyin, you can ease into the Chinese characters later. Plus the language has no conjugation, masculine/feminine, etc. It’s literally a language full of super nuanced vocabulary and particles. And learning the characters will be like learning to recognize someone’s face: you’ll get familiar with how they look over time.

[@kindomofghana]

​@@DmarquettePainter You have the right attitude. Ask yourself, most of these people complaining about being treated like a foreigner, how many of them actually take the time and effort to integrate in the manner you described. I'm not talking about just hanging with local people occasionally. I mean actually taking the time and effort to really learn the language and customs? 99% of these so-called Diasporans never learn the language of their host countries. I know of Black Americans who have lived in Ghana for 30 - 40 years and never learned the language all they can say is a few greetings and thank you. This makes me wonder, how much integration are you really doing as you claim, when you live in a country for many years and cannot even speak a broken version of the language? Also, this whole expectation that ppl have of red carpets being rolled out for them because they are Black Americans who have come to Africa is frankly unrealistic and selfish. If anyone does get a welcome with a drum and a cultural dance group at the airport then they ought to be grateful, but to expect this to be the standard or else you don't feel welcomed is some crazy entitlement issue that Africans cannot and should not accommodate. Any Black American expecting this sort of treatment should ask themselves how Africans are received when they go to the US. Do Black Americans stop their daily lives to come and welcome them at the airport? Do they not treat Africans as foreigners when they live amongst them? Don't African children get bullied when they school with Black Americans?

Imagine thinking that people need to be “taught” to want more money. Capitalism is just what it’s called when people are allowed to buy sell and trade as they choose.

It’s human nature and in a totalitarian system it leads to mass murder, legal confiscations, and mass oppression instead of just the occasional illegal scam artist.

1) Afrikan diaspora deal with the same issues as well. We take locals with us, or we tell them the price that the locals say they pay for an item, and that is the price we want to pay. Usually they give you the locals price because they need business. 2) Most items in Afrika are negotiable, not set on stone price. 3) Merchants believe diaspora has money, therefore they should pay a little more. 4) Even in the USA when we go to the Middle Eastern shops we negotiate prices, today. 5) There you have it, culture clash or misunderstanding. 6) The brother is right.

[@infinitechillzbeatz599]

I lived in Africa for several years, it's just so complex the dynamics of an AA in Africa. But, I think you covered this well. I think the only way to be successful is to accept our foreign status. However, we need to find other ways to connect with and identify with the people of Africa. We do need more connection and camaraderie but unfortunately, we don't have a unified or unifying culture. We don't agree on what is acceptable as far as diet, morals, religion, etc. This makes it difficult for us to get along. I don't think it has to be this way though. However, we need to be more intentional about breaking down barriers between people of different backgrounds and learn to respect each other despite differences. Still, work towards common goals despite differences. If we can get over the judgment and hatred between groups, we'll be alright.

[@XY-rh3if]

The key is respect for one another's opinion, tradition and culture. For example, in some parts of the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, it's well within cultural norm to mary your cousin. It was a shock to learn about this because I never had of such and I'm sure most people in the west and Africa haven't either. So if we find ourselves in Saudi Arabia, it'll be unwise to attempt to disqualify their tradition. After all, who's to say that it's wrong for the Chinese to eat dogs, while it's right for the rest of the world to eat chicken and beef. Don't all animals equally value their lives, feel the pain from a sword and shed blood as well?

Young, old, male and female. So I'm very confident to be able to travel overseas and adapt. Some people can't even drive on good dry flat roads because they are so detrimental in their mindset.

Poor planning results in a horrible outcome. Before I moved to the Dominican Republic, I visited several times. I figured out where I would get housing, food, access to banking, gym and the cost of other essentials. People kill me moving to places and complaining about common practice of those Countries, no one is changing for you. I don't expect to be accepted, I will forever be a foreigner! As a foreigner, everyone assumes that you have money or you would not be there; therefore, you have to protect your money, no differently than you would in the US or where every you came from. Don't think you are that smart, before you buy a property, start the Visa Process, XYZ, talk to a local foreigner and ask them questions. Talk to many of them and get as much information as you can. I would not move anywhere, where I have to negotiate a price for anything. I'm use to a grocery store, I don't want to shop at a outdoor market, hundreds of booth where there would be a different price for me. I would not move to a underdeveloped area, where people are poor and build a $200,000+ home. They will hate you and just that they are watching, they know when you leave and when you return.

Dear Brother, I am so glad I found your site. I've been watching your channel for a few weeks. After today's stream, I wanted to share some of my observations, as an African American with a few African friends (mainly from Kenya, Congo, Ethiopia, and Cameroon). In my 61 years on this planet, I hate the lack of historical information we receive about ANY parts of Africa. As a result, few AAs have much passion for African countries and their various cultures (sad). I have long felt Black Africans receive the LEAST favorable reception from Americans who look like them (really sad). I hope more AA directors will begin producing movies that will excite Americans (especially Black Americans) to crave more from Africa and its inhabitants. I suspect AAs visiting Africa expect grand receptions from people we don't get excited about. It's time for each of us to roll up our sleeves to research and extend welcoming hands to our brothers and sisters from ancestral mothers. Thank you again for your bridge to knowledge and understanding 🙂!!!

Yes. It is worse in rural areas, but one has the freedom not to give. The political class has designed it that way.
