Paris' African Quarter: Vloggers Ain't Welcome Here!!!, Part 3/6

I truly appreciate your videos. I really enjoyed your videos while you were in Saudi Arabia. I loved how you interacted with the people, your energy was amazing. I've been watching your channel since but it is disappointing to see how you're not well received in France, especially with African people. I'm not surprised by the warm welcome by the Moroccan brother, I have wonderful friends in Morocco and someone very dear living in Saudi Arabia. Continue with your engaging and informative content. It's a pleasure to be a subscriber to your channel. Many blessings to you brother 💜💜💜

[@kennethwilliams7697]

This is crazy! I've been to Paris 6 times but never knowing these communities exist, after watching this when I travel there again, I certainly won't be going anywhere near those communities!

Du courage grand frere, on a un complexe d'inferiorité, couplé d'une ignorance de nos droit, couplé de plusieurs années de vie sous des regimes de peur et de tyranie, qui nous poussent a reagir illogicquement souvent. Merci pour tout ce que vous faite, j'adore decouvrir le monde derriere votre camera. I love what you do and its very inspirational for me. I am originally from Burkina Faso and I now live and work in Oregon.

How painful it is, to see a person, who is working for the Africans, is harassed by his own ignorant people !

[@mminteh7566]

They don't know nothing they think that they will be deported back to Africa they don't know their rights

[@sabcam2000]

How is he working for Africans? You people and your funny declarations! His videos are mostly pleasant but I dont see how he is working for me or any african. He's enjoying his life at best. I myself, am African and I wouldn't let anyone film me in the streets and I have all my papers. Stop acting as if you know what goes on inside people's head. In general white people are more comfortable in front of the camera than blacks (especially Africans), for many reasons and in my experience, when a white person vlogs, when you shy away from the camera, they turn it away from you or at least ask you. You can't force people to have their image forever in your videos. And someone can indeed sue you for using their images even if they're in a public place. You have to blurry their face if they don't want to be in your video!

[@lekkyjayz6294]

I salute your effort and determination. They are just ignorant. It can be really frustrating. Don't be discouraged. Nice vlog my brother.

[@brianlongshore]

So glad to see another of your videos, my brother. Paris is very cool. I’ve never visited the African quarter before. Next time I’m going to the African quarter. Your videos are always a great adventure. I love them very much.

Great video sir. You handled yourself with so much class and dignity. Your videos are amazing. I’ve traveled to places thanks to your courage and camera. Thank you sir.

[@tkautzor]

My brother, I wonder why people can decide for themselves that filming a public place in france requires some kind of authorization or permit? These people think they are still in the DRC or Cameroon where mob justice rules on the street.

I grew up in this neighborhood, kind of unique in Paris, a lot of African history there. I now live in Chicago, but go back time to time!

[@JM-vj7we]

African American New Yorker here unfortunately I agree. Was in Paris in 1999 & 2000 for a couple of weeks. Even average West Africans we’re not friendly. When simply trying to ask for directions or assistance one woman was actually hostile! A couple of kids we tried to speak to behaved as if we were going to kidnap them. We went to this district too for the bargains & the vegetables. No cameras involved.

@@Child_of_Amun It wasn’t a judgment but a observation. Most people navigate thru life by what their culture and immediate family dynamics are! I also had the pleasure to make friends from friends I met. The difference to me was that they were educated and had a much broader world perspective.

[@Child_of_Amun]

@@JM-vj7we An “observation” made from the attitudes of a few wannabe francophiles, West Africa is way more diverse than these few who left Africa to be like Europeans. You can’t just make blanketed generalizations of an entire region, based on observations alone. Some West Africans absolutely abhor the French colonizers, don’t lump them in with those who kill themselves to be with/like their colonial masters…

[@officiallykayanna]

alot of these people tell embellished stories of their life abroad to their families. they are upset their folks may recognized them in your videos. its also internalized prejudice cause if it was a white vlogger they will stand up to talk to him/her. some africans are lost LOL

[@callieduval3000]

It is so sad to see them confront the man when he's not even filming them or near them. They just wanted to be on KZbin low key. Glad you filmed this as I will not go to this section and spend my money I'll spend in tourists places.

[@fantakaba5163]

Mon frère , cet endroit château rouge est très stigmatise et mal vu a Paris ; et tres souvent les reportages tele qui y sont faits son très négatifs et stigmatisent les populations qui y transite notamment la communauté noire. C est pourquoi les gens ne veulent pas y être filmes , ils ont honte. Mais peut être que si tu leur avait expliquer ton projet qui est très positif, peut être que tu aurais eu des réactions différentes. En tous cas, c'est toujours un plaisir de voir tes vidéos. Bon courage! Merci

[@hanab4292]

that makes sense

[@visualpoet1]

[@AfricaTekk]

Wode Maya got arrested many times filming in African countries

[@WJYN7435]

i'm from france and the "droit à l'image " says that you can film in public place but there's a catch: for public publishing (youtube/ facebook/tv etc) , anyone can ask for the photos or part of the video where their face is clearly visible (here such as 8:30 - 9:00 where you can clearly recognise his face) to be removed. The only way this law does not apply is for strictly private use (ex: for holiday photos you keep in a book for your family etc). Secondly, people can sue you and can rightfully ask for "damages" (money you will have to pay the victim) for their lawyers expenses etc. In this case for example, if the streetworker at 8:30 sues you, and pay for lawyer, the judge will have to decide if his face is clearly recognizable at 8:30-9:00 and it very likely will be yes and you will ahve to pay him. But obviously, that is only if he sues you.

[@visualpoet1]

@yulian7435 If you rewind the video to 7:28 you will realize that he came up to me. He was nowhere on the frame until 8:30 as you mentioned. Thanks for watching my video

How ironic that in Saudi Arabia, supposedly quite a closed country (and it certainly seemed that way when I lived there between 2000 and 2003) people reacted in a friendly manner to the camera, yet in France, supposedly le pais des droits de l'homme and liberté, people were so aggressive.

[@muchit3629]

Sad to say as an African living in the US, sometimes people migrate to these countries but do not understand the essence of these countries. Also, it seems to me Africans that go to Europe tend to be of a lower class maybe than say those who go to the US, Canada or Australia where entry is more restrictive so they take what they know from Africa and think it applies in France or where they are.

[@sylviebasyl2835]

That’s the most ignorant, prejudice things to say and just downright untrue.

You could say the same thing for North Africa, but you left them out, look at Libya and Egypt where they treat other Africans like trash, or at the many foreigners trying to erase indigenous black Berbers heritage, speaking as someone of Zuwaya Berber and Songhai descent, what you just said proves why so many North African aren’t even considered to be African by their so-called “brothers” they’ve been invaded and occupied so many times throughout the millennia that they have a major identity crisis.
