Shocking: What Ugandan Women Think About Black Americans

[@WillieFungo]

The knowledge of African Americans is surprisingly low among young Ugandans (and other Africans) because of shifting media consumption patterns. 10+ years ago, young Africans were obsessed with black American culture because of hip hop, etc. But now this has shifted to Nigerian, South African, and Jamaican culture because of the music. In Uganda especially, people will usually imitate Jamaican English when trying to sound "cool" and sometimes a Caribbean accent slips out in normal conversation such as here. 3:33

[@Synoopy2]

Very good and thorough explanation. I can understand why - The golden age of hip hop, rap and good black music is over in America. The music has stagnated as well as the culture. So it is understandable why the shift has happened. I also think this is a good thing, hip hop videos and movies are not a true reflection of Black Americans. Thanks.

[@patandersen4271]

@@Synoopy2 Well said. Unfortunately, the powers that be that control media in the U.S. want to keep Black Americans "Dumbed Down" and keep any beneficial or meaningful lyrics/messages from having airplay. This started back in the 1990s some may feel a little earlier. Too bad, since positive media representation would have helped Black people to feel solidarity and have an overall respectful and positive image of us all in the global scheme of things.

We are not Africans we are The Real Americans You guys don't even have a lot of history books in Africa and you don't even know when your grandparents was born . So how can you even talk about our history and our history is documented since the beginning of documentation. You notice how people always adds Africans what do they think the black Americans but they never asked black Americans what they think about Africans?? Because we don't even think about Africans..😂😂😂😂

I’m black here in the US and I liked how more than one of them admitted that they don’t know much about us. Likewise..and that truly is an honest answer.

You are making an effort to look past the media representation. Africans are NOT doing the same. I look beyond the media to increase my own understanding of the world as well. However I think we must stress that others, in particular Africans, are NOT doing that but at the same time they continue to rant about how they are portrayed in the media. I think it is important to stress that ignorance combined with arrogance is not solely a Western character flaw.

This is an interesting video and pretty much confirms my belief on how media is shaping people’s perceptions about Black Americans globally and really Vice versa here in the states. For example, most of not all the Women you interviewed have the belief that African Americans are mixed based on the media. While technically, we do generally have various percentages of European admixture due to the sexual exploitation of chattel slavery, for the general African American just going off phenotype you wouldn’t be able to tell because we are genetically predominantly West and West Central African. Of course this depends on the individual. But because lighter skin people are overly represented especially Lighter skin and biracial Women are overly represented as Black American in tv,film and especially music I understand why they’ve come to this uneducated conclusion. Also, thought it was funny that when the Uganda sista named 3 celebrities, 2 out of 3 were Caribbean( Nicki Minaj and Rhianna). Good video nonetheless

We are largely the same, only minor cultural differences. If you ask most African American girls the same questions, many would give uninformed answers as well. However, I'm almost certain at least 90% would say they strictly date Black men. Mainly because of the history that Blacks have in America with Europeans.

Africa allowed European nations to send a minority of soldiers to Africa and they took control of countries with a majority race and kept them impoverished raped the continent of its valuable resources, paying off those same elders that sold other Africans into enslavement to America. Even with the end of colonization, the rape continues and you still have African women who want will have a baby with a white man because if she has to have a little black baby, the lighter the better. Any black man, American or African will never be good enough until she fails to get a white man.

Well most africans american do have other race admixture but you are right most are not mixed(bi-racial). Mixed and admixture is not the same thing. Admixture could mean a large amount like 50% to very little like less then 1%. For example most white american have other race admixture as well nobody or most folks are not going around calling them mixed,because most are not. Some folks will do that to calling white americans mixed but they would be wrong too,since like i said most white americans have admixture but most are not mixed. Anyway for african americans up to 75 to maybe 80's do have other race admixture while the rest do not.

[@marvel22-mf1js]

Black Africans have the most diverse look on earth from phenotype to skin tone and size.Real life and not real life talk below. Note- In real life some black or african americans just like white americans do not have any other race admixture. Well most black americans may have european dna but it still not significant enough.For it to be significant and impact phenotype it needs to be 25% or up and that is not always the case for some. Having 1% asian or native american dna is really small and not significant as well and does not impact phenotype as well. Most white americans have other race admixture as well but tends to be smaller on average then the average black american real life race admixture but they have race admixture and for most of them too it's insignificant. African americans look like the ethnic groups they come from in africa anyway. Africans vary from all types of looks. In africa you could see africans(depending on the ethnic group and individuals) that look more like african americans.I should say african americans look more like the africans they come from. Okay the above is real life by the way but when comes to american sci-fi/fantasy superhero comics it's a different story/different universes,laws,history etc.. and most african americans and white americans for example do not have any other race admixture at all. In comicbook superhero stories,shows,movies etc.. most white and black americans do not have any other race admixture and when a few do it's simplified. So the person is either 100% black or white,50% or 75% etc.. By way most latino/hispanic americans in comics are not white and are not classified as white,while in real life most are classified as white. Note-in superhero sci-fi- fantasy comics most african americans are unmixed blacks, racism is less then in the real world and alot more blacks live in north africa then they do in the real world but those are different universes,with alot of different history,more advance technological achievements etc.. Of course writers jobs is to focus on superhero stories and not bring in to much real world stories,politics,dna stuff etc.. in comics.Besides the comic industry and many of the characters were created before most folks knew anything about dna etc..,so writers in the past and today still keep simple as possible when it comes to background, history etc.. By the way i saw some statistics saying that most black american before 1890’s were unmixed. The black population that had some form admixture out grew that black american population that were unmixed,and it happen over time in 1800’s and more so the 1900’s.There could be varied reasons for that but in terms of raw numbers for example the unmixed black population was almost close in size to the black population in the 1930’s for example but that gap got wider faster i think in 1950’s or 60’s i think.

Most of our musicians are brown and dark skinned not light skinned, especially the males. Most of our actors are brown and dark as well, but usually a medium brown, not light. We're not disproportionately represented in media by light skinned people, at least not males anyway, females more so, but even then there are quite a few dark and brown females in our media. It seems they just associate the light ones with us more, probably because we have a higher percentage of light skinned people in our group than they do. Also, this weird obsession of asking everyone if they would date us is so strange. It shows a lack of self respect in a lot of Black Americans that one of the main things we think to ask white people, Asian people, African people, is if they'd date us.

[@WillieFungo]

These are women, and they are more likely to consume female-oriented media where light skinned people are very obviously over represented. Let's not even start with music videos from the hip hop golden age when most of the background dancers were Dominican, Puerto Rican, etc. Asking Asians or whites if they would date a black person is cringe and degrading because that's crossing a racial line, but these are other black people. It's completely different.

[@RebelWithoutABoss]

@@WillieFungo Asking anyone who isn't your own specific group if they would date you is "cringe". As someone who has spent time in Africa you know the difference between race and ethnicity. If people who highly value ethnicity see a group of people with low self esteem, begging to be accepted and dated they're going to view that group as pathetic. Also, they all mentioned movies more than music and when one did mention music they mentioned male artists as well. Which means they've been exposed to more black media that mostly shows brown and dark people.

@@WillieFungo I get that you see it as we're all the same, I do too to an extent, but you have to be aware that other black groups, especially ones with nations with many different "tribes"/ethnicities don't tend to see it that way. There's a difference between dating other groups and running around a nation or a town asking people if they'd date your ethnic group or race. One is just an individual dating, the other makes a group of people seem desperate and needy for validation. There's a reason these women get weird looks on their faces when that question is asked. .You understand the value of a single person or a few people being the representative of a group. And unsure you understand how desperate it looks when you see these goodies asking asian or white girls if they'd date black men, so you should understand how it looks to Africans who often value ethnicity as much as race how needy it looks when another ethnicity of black person asks that question. If it were Ewe men running around asking Igbo and Hausa girls if they'd date Ewe men it would make Ewe men would look just as desperate to those Igbo and likely make those Igbo and Hausa women think Ewe dudes place little value in their group.

[@WillieFungo]

@@RebelWithoutABoss You are massively overestimating the importance of ethnicity in Bantu and West African countries. It matters for politics but not for dating. If an Ewe guy was asking if Igbo girls would date him, it would come across as a fun video, not desperate because both groups already have easy access to each other. It's the same situation for black Americans in Uganda.

I am seriously so blessed to be apart of this lineage and it is time we once and forever bury the term African-American to describe us.

That lil bit of blood wouldn't even show up on the screen at the blood testing 😂 I am positive if you have only 25% wht then you look absolutely nothing like a wht person. That's what's wrong with a lot of us AAs. Stop trying to identify with people you look nothing like... People that won't even accept you nor like you at all. Learn how to develop self love and stop being a week a.. self hater

[@HerboSwervooo]

@@jcthegreat80well if you could read, you’d clearly understand that I never said anything about being accepted by whites and actually said quite the opposite. Instead, what I said was we as American Blacks need to embrace OUR OWN unique lineage and ethnicity. Don’t be so thirsty to prove others wrong when you know your reading comprehension needs improvement. You play yourself that way.

It's funny because most Africans I meet think I'm African too. Usually Nigerian

[@denisebycapricorn]

And you think that's funny? Lemme guess you are dark skin.

[@emmanuelervin5035]

Because we come from them.

[@BiggTyM10]

Most African Americans most dominant gene is Nigerian.

[@TUCKERCARLSONCOMMENTARY-cj9nq]

Very informative. Thanks for sharing this info

[@2002RNavy]

When I was little I used to want to leave America and go to Africa but after thinking of all the good and bad things my family before went through in this country I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’m proud to be from this country called America (right now) I’ll fight the good fight in this country for my people till I die. I do but I don’t care what other people think of us. We don’t get along all the time but we will and deep down inside we do love each other. It just tough love.

[@terintiaflavius3349]

Most racist man i have ever met was a man from Kenya. The stuff that came out of his mouth was way worse then anything i have heard a white person say. I was so taken aback.

[@alginyes]

I am a Foundational Black American. You are inspiring me to come up with my own content to ask Black American women what they think about Ugandan women. They are all beautiful. I even bought an Ugandan flag. I support your rights to keep the Ugandan family together. Oh, and that girl in the blue and white dress, get her information, I want to bring her to the States now. Fr Fr.

[@504Tendaji]

😂

[@Galidorquest]

Most people in general don't know much about Uganda to have anything to say about their women.

[@AtlasGlaze]

@aiginyes. What is foundational black American? Is this something new? I know about the native Americans. Blacks in America have ethnic roots deep in Africa. Most of your last names are from slave owners. To disguise your true identity.

dude good comments, but i'm sorry to tell you FBA is a scam

@@1maggotbrain Thanks for letting me know. This world is just following anyone who they can manipulate and control for status, leadership or financial gain. Smooth talking pimps

Great 👍🏿 Video!!! MUCH LOVE 🖤🖤🖤 TO AFRICA FROM 🖤 AMERICA!!! 🇺🇸

[@pietrycranberry6621]

From the U S or the Americas as whole? If I'm recalling correctly,the first landings of Europeans were in the Caribbean before they touched down on the mainland.

[@Adore7_AUM]

Wow! As an African-American woman born and raised in the States, this was interesting. I would not base on how we are portrayed in movies. We have similarities, but America has many different subcultures of African-Americans based on region and state. Some overlap, and some are very different. Be well all.

[@Mike-G777]

Im Etiopian & American wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! these Ugandan ladies are beautiful natural

[@karinazrzu]

Yes, very stunning!

[@pharoahmonk50]

Ugandans know about as much about a black American as we know about them.

[@Wamuciie]

why do you have a picture of egypt on your profile if you don't know anything about africa?

[@queenyaa5043]

Some of do. Many colleges & universities have African studies departments. We have the historical resources moreso

[@mimirahim4028]

Luv this video ❤

[@bluegreenwoodtiger]

As an American of Caribbean descent, the woman with the sunglasses makes a cogent point. Just because you bring a Bengali tiger to America doesn’t make it an American tiger. 😊

6:59 great video crazy how little African & African American know about each other

[@toddmaek5436]

It's not really that crazy when you thinl about it especially considering how diverse the continent itself is, and then the various Black Ethnicities around the world are. I bet you if you were to ask different black ethnicities even within the same continents about each other, it would be similar or even worse about how little is known of each other. Like if you were to ask all these same ladies about Ashanti people or go ask A bunch of Xhosas about Habeshas in Ethiopia they would probably know very little of each other. Now if you asked a bunch of African American/ADOS about Afro-Mexicans or asked us about Afro-Chileans it would be the same thing. Whats even worse is there is an Federally Recognized Indigineous Tribe In Mexico (Moscogos) who are ADOS Descendants and even celebrate Juneteenth (in Mexico) that hardly any African Americans/ADOS ever even heard of before.

I'm a 62 yr old black American and we're not all mixed with white people and Africans are still Obsessed with us look at their hair styles and clothing and music we mostly influence people and cultures from around the world everyone copies us

[@MrJovon321]

I'm an AA and very tribal about it. However, I think we should chill on the 'everyone wants to be us' narrative. Even if we should be able to see our influence throughout the years in order to have a healthy self esteem, I think telling everyone how much they want to be us comes off as off-putting and obnoxious.

[@johnjhrrussell2848]

@MrJovon321 Of Course it is to you

@@MrJovon321It’s the damn truth though 🤷🏾‍♀️Africans wanna try to belittle us by saying we have no culture…when in reality we made a culture that ended up becoming the most copied and influential culture in the 21 century 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️…We literally put black people all over the world on the map, opened you countless doors for people of color.

The lady in the sunglasses is fine as hell, but she shouldn't get it twisted because we're cheap in America too.
