Shocking: What Cape Verdean Women Think About Black People!

[@WillieFungo]

Carla is not speaking about her personal feelings. She is describing what she has seen in the society. Please watch the entire video before rushing to judgement.

[@frizellruckerjr3968]

They are us.

[@elleanna5869]

There's nothing to be outraged about. They enjoy what they are, they like black phenotype, they are suspicious and feel detatched by other African countries or general African identity. This is absolutely the norm. The Africaness comes from the colonizers gaze, an outside perspective. Actually the less brainwashed Africans are the ones that don't see themselves just like their western conquerors saw them , "just black"

[@zezinhamendes2502]

When Carla talk like that,she needs to be clear. She is a group of them. Even Caboverdiano coming from outside are complaining about those people. After our independencia in 1975 , from Portugues colony we were 5 countries.4 of us started getting more envolved with another African country flags, dresses, pictures. Started teaching at school things from Africa. Cabo verde was not doing it. Or if they did it was very few. We can see now the result those people are very confused they do not know what they are , they do not know theAfrican geography too .Even those are dark skin ,they get a lot of descimination from light skin. They have lot of problem about skin color. It is terrible. I like Cabo Verde Government they are working very well to compare with another 4 countries.

This is very pedestrian to say the least. Comparing common human vagaries to a structured system of hate that has eliminated millions in the world is really disheartening and a total lack of understanding of the meaning of racism. It shows the little you really know. There will always be wranglings within humans but a structured system of hate that regarded others as semi - humans shouldn't be compared with normal human squabbles, because they are not. In all the cultural and ethnic differences, the only race that came up with a structured system of hate was the white race. And that's what we are still suffering from today. The residue of hate they left behind during slavery that mopped into colonialism is still hurting everybody today.

A black person should not be determined by the colour of the skin but by the true knowledge of his or her black history.

Listen, I’m a Gen X who was brought up in a (San Vicente)Cape Verdean household. Let me tell you, growing up in Senegal W Africa, every body I knew despised “mainland Africans” and liked to call themselves Portuguese. You have to realize, Cape Verde was one of the last African countries to gain its independence (in 1975, not too long ago in retrospect). And Cape Verde until not too long ago, had a flag that affiliated w/the African colors. But then, they decided that they would rather ally w/the European colors. So that tells you everything. My family vehemently forbade us girls to date “those black ppl”. There is a strong push to “whiten” the race. And anybody in this thread who tells you otherwise is lying. Cape Verdeans are sell outs.

Cape Verdean sounds like Dominican Republican. Both go together. 🇩🇴🇨🇻

[@ellieteixeira3621]

Black Americans, Cape Verde love you ❤

[@Lyralikesit]

Yep both renegate their black ancestry

[@mertlandglen9969]

"Me no black me Dominican ".

[@winwithjames8833]

Exactly my thoughts. They reject their blackness for the colonizer

[@WrighteousBrand]

Cape Verdeans are more like Brazilians I wouldn’t say Dominicans.

[@darrylhall9503]

One of my favorite singers is from Cape Verde, Cesaria Evora.

[@garycollier6950]

Remember the Cape Verdean rhythm and blues group Tavares.They were very good and sounded just like a traditional Black American group. They were hot in the 1980s.

[@EmmaFelix-b8z]

Evora is the best.. Good to know that a lot of people appreciate her work. I remember listening a lot of her songs while living in China about a decade ago... Sweet memories

If you are not African, ask your government to leave any organizations that are related to Africa. In Sudan, they also said they were not Africans.

[@DanielKuku-lw7wd]

I'm Sudanese proud African

[@DISELMEDIALLC]

I will never understand my friend!! Sudan is literally a country on the continent of Africa!!😂😂😂

[@koolohinde]

@@DISELMEDIALLC My cousin, who was a student in Sudan, told me they were referred to as African.

[@anti-narc1343]

​​@@koolohinde Yup I'm from north Sudan and we don't really mess with west Africans, we're More into the African horn / East African Side culture and genetics wise Sorry but just because we're on the same continent doesn't mean we're the same

[@jahudini]

@@anti-narc1343 I still don't understand the point of your comment, are you African or not?

[@kidaneassefa9922]

Thank you I love your show and the way you interact with the people

[@blackmagic6]

I hope you Cape Verdeans read the backlash you are getting in this comments section. If you disown Africa ..... you become illegitimate. It's just that simple.

Willi Fungo. The Portuguese were the first people to reach Cabo Verde. There weren't inhabitants when they discovered the archipelago. So, they took the people of Guine Bissau, put them in Cabo Verde, and mixed with them...The relationship between the Portuguese and the blacks has created de Mulatos...

[@Queensissy7]

Manjak people.. That's sad

[@Kamara_Fuad]

What do mean by dating West Africans, u know they are in west Africa right..?

[@WillieFungo]

I think you already know the answer to that question.

[@AfricanMaverick]

He should've said "other west africans"
