"We Share The Same Blood!" 🇰🇪 (#69)

I had decided to go on a journey to the Kisii region in Kenya, a place known for beautiful landscapes, fresh vegetables and....witchcraft? That last part is what drew me to the region to investigate. Arriving in a local village, I knew one of the best ways to meet people was to head to the local restaurant and bar...but I had no idea I was being setup for a marriage proposal.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

I don't know, maybe I'm soft now. But there's something heart-warming about a "black" African woman saying to Tommy that due to his way of interacting with the people at that restaurant in her village, she feels he's one of them. She said other white people don't speak to Africans, just among themselves. So, he's really the same spirit. That she says blood doesn't matter to me. Because you connect on a spiritual level, and their exchange was her welcoming him and saying due to his spirit she felt, there was a natural connection and he belonged right where he was. This is what makes this channel so worth watching and such a standout.

I can never understand hating another race or culture. Variety is what makes the world great. I wouldn't want to live in a world with one kind of people, animal,trees,Mataco etc.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

@@e.r3519 I understand it perfectly. It's "us" versus "them" mentality and making something you had nothing to do with, your "race" or "ethnicity," superior to someone else's. Just look at the CBS news crime stories comment sections and there are a whole bunch of commenters that say the same race baiting stuff, over and over. I think many people put their group above some others, even those that fairly welcome other groups of people. But there are those that don't care for their own group as well, and look to find a contrasting one to discover and befriend.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

@Alejandro Brunner So you watch and comment on a channel that features interaction with East Africans. This channel is about communication and bridging cultures, not competition and love of one's own race. So what are you doing here? It doesn't seem to align with your interests.

[@kdubbtv]

it’s just about the knowing that although we are all different, we are still of the same species, so we can at least treat one another with respect. you don’t have to like me or love me, there’s plenty who i don’t like or love, they still get my respect as a person though at the end of the day because we all have our own walks of life, but we are living life on this earth together

I would like to see Tommy "Zambia" villages My great great great grandmother was from Zambia mungu zambetsi in village. Her grandfather was the cheif leader of over 4 thousand people. My Great great great grandfather was a scottish explorer who was helping local communities with running water pipes he was 56 and the Chief leader offered him his grandaughter who was 13 at the time. My great great great grandfather rufused because he already had a wife back at home (scotland) plus she was to young so he finished his job and travelled back to South Africa were he was staying to get medical equipment because he picked up malaria for a fourth time in his life. The malaria this time almost killed him, so he returned to scotland because he was afraid he didnt have long left to live. Anyway his health recovered but his wife passed away a few years later. My Great×3 Grandfather was 61 now and he was already a father of 7 and grandfather of over a dozen and a great grandfather of two (at this point) He decided to travel back to Africa and wanted to see how the village in Zambia was doing. So he travelled back to south Africa were his base was and travelled north back towards Zambia and on the way picked up Malaria again for a fifth time and this time thought for sure he was gonna die, anyway his medicine what he had helped him but he was very weak and had aged loads in his body and face and lost a lot of weight. He got to zambia and it was a new cheif (hope im spelling this correct) lol The new cheif was the old cheif son. Which would make him my G×4 grandfather. because his daughter was my G×3 grandmother. She was still unmarried at 18 now because she some how knew sporitual that he would return and marry her. So my scottish G×3 grandfather was staying in a hut to gain his health back but it had been a number of weaks and he was still poorly and suffererd a mini heart attack. So my zambian G×3 vistited him and fed him some berrys and took care of him and he pulled through. He was now 62 and he married her and they had 3 (two boys one girl) kids all born with in 4 years of each other and then my G×3 grandfather passed away age 69. One of the boys (His name was Zutto) (my G×2 Grandfather) decided he wanted to see scotland were he had relatives. He married very young in the village and had 8 children and when he was 31 he left zambia and travelled to Angola to the west coast near ocean to get in (sneek inside) a container ship what was travelling from Angola to Portugal. He snuck in and got to Portugal were he was caught and arrested and sent to a prison. He served 9 years and after 9 years they put him on a boat and sent him to morrocco and let him free. So he snuck into another ship in morrocco to spain and got out in spain and travelled to france then snuck in another ship on the channel to england and then from england he got to Scotland. He came to scotland as a 42 year old 11 years after leaving Zambia and his wife and 8 children. Anyway he had names of his relatives and found out were they lived and they took him in. He met a 25 year old woman (my Gx2 Grandmother) who was widowed with no children and they had one son (my Great grandfather) Anyway Zutto lived to the ripe old age of 97 and passed away with pnemonia. My Great grandfather was quarter zambian and his name was charles, he was 18 (1939) and joined the army and fought in ww2 and he lost his leg in that war and almost lost his life. He was in a french hospital for over a year and then came back to scotland, he married in his early 20s (1942) and had 9 kids (3 boys 6 girls) one was a girl who was the 7th child born my grandmother in 1951 She became a nurse and got a job in Middlesbrough England and met my grandfather in 1967 he was 21 she was 16. They had my mother in 1969 and my mother met my father in 1985 he was 17 she was 16 and had me3 years later in 1989 and one more in 1990 and divirved in 1994. Anyway thats my roots. My Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather was a leader of a few Zambian villages as was his son and his grandaughter was my Great Great Great grandmother.
