What the ras says about the view that west blks have of Africa, is different from the view Africans have. We look at Africa holistically, Africans tends think about country or tribes. Jamaicans in general think about mother Africa, not country or tribes.
Aikebulan (Africa) should get rid of the different European languages and prepare for the retooling of the region. Imagine 7 of the words top universities are in South Africa. Think carefully about that.
If you are not South Afrikan, then why try to sell us on a prospect that the South Afrikans themselves are not offering? There is no such thing as one language for the most linguistically diverse location on the planet. Well there is at the moment. It is called English. And unless the continent literally agreed to choose from amongst the least spoken, obscure tongues on the continent, so that all would share the same stakes and risks with regards to the initiative, it would always be presented with an impasse. Every region has their choice of tongues that they too would choose to elevate and privilege..

Jamaicans do not have the same food as Ghana. They have a few similar ingredients but very different cuisine. Jamaica’s official language is standard English and Jamaican patois is almost 100% broken English, which isn’t classified as an official language but regarded as a dialect of English. There are no other languages in Jamaica. Ghana has many different languages and no Jamaican speak any of those languages. There are one or two ‘African’ words in Jamaica but they are mainly the name of items and do not form any part of the language!
Most Jamaicans originated from ghana. All of their leaders who liberated jamaica all came from ghana . They all had Ghanaian names . Even the Ashanti flag is the only flag that the Jamaican flag has similarities with. Where do u think jamaicans got the Anase story from?
No, most Jamaicans do NOT originate from Ghana. That’s a myth. Jamaicans came from all over Africa and many other countries around the world. Yes, anansi stories are known but that doesn’t mean everything about Jamaica is from Ghana. The Jamaican flag has nothing to do with Ghana. Prior to Jamaica's independence, the Jamaican government ran a flag design competition for Jamaica's new flag. Over 360 designs were submitted, and several of these original submissions are housed in the National Library of Jamaica. Jamaica has its own food and culture which has been developed over 500 years and with input from all its people who came from different parts of the world, and also from the indigenous Taino Indians who inhabited the island before the Europeans arrived. The Europeans were the ones who brought in Africans and others to the island.
@@theofficialfriendlyretrievers Which part of Jamaican patois is Twi? Stop your nonsense and stop begging! Jamaican patois is 100% broken English! I’m Jamaican born and bred and never heard of any ‘Twi’ in my entire life! Maybe you could tell me which part of Jamaican patois is Twi?! I’ll answer my own questions - no part of Jamaican patois is Twi or any other language apart from standard English and ‘broken’ English!
@@cleo63100 What is beyond dispute and long settled is that the cultural heritage and spiritual system of a specific segment of Jamaican peoples, it Maroon nation, has their origins in a specific land which they themselves have always pointed to. Their historical leaders such as Queen Nanny, Cudjoe , Quao, Tackie, all point to ethnic nations from within the former Gold Coast, present day Ghana. The language of the Maroons is Kromanti, which is akin to a “pidgins Twi”, but Twi nonetheless. But perhaps more than anything else, is they have the same name for the Almighty. The Spanish and Portuguese alone documented over 130 separate spiritual systems from amongst the various ethnic nations whose peoples they took from the continent. For there to be the names of people, places, things, even their very name for the Almighty and worshipped in a similar context, with horns, drumming and dancing, is for you to deny for yourself. But the Marooon cultural custodians and gatekeepers make no such denials. They rather affirm the claims…and have already done the cultural exchange, vetting and confirmation. So just say you are not a Maroon and that you have no connection to the continent. Fair enough. Jamaica already has many who can make similar claim. Although most of those happen to be Chinese… But the Maroons make no such denial of their Afrikan roots and heritage. They have gone further and made valuable affirming connections.
How can one people come from so many different place's in Africa? Nigeria, Guyna Gambia, some even say Ethiopia, all these countries. Who are these people that world seems to know little or nothing about? Why did we go through slavery the worst thing and nobody else? Yet we're all one big black family? Somethings not adding up here.
@Realist13 If those people are the biblical Israelites, then these nations are in big trouble, Hold on so you want to tell me my sister? these people that were in the cane and cotton fields and now are into the ghettos, are the biblical Israelites? Ok, that's why
Kenyan beast , I saw you say in a previous video that you were a Christian, that’s why I can’t understand why anyone in Africa would be a Christian or a Muslim is baffling to me knowing what colonialism has done to Africa people, how do you as a Kenyan/ African say you’re a Christian, can you answer that for me?
@user-jo7mo1iv4n Haiti want to come home, but the African governments don't want them there, and I wonder why? But the Chinese and European welcome. I thought every black person is an African,I guess we're not.
People, make out as if the white man originated Christianity, but it were in Africa long before they arrived Ethiopia. A page from the Garima Gospels - the world’s oldest Christian book found in a remote monastery in Ethiopia. The incredible relic has been kept ever since in the Garima Monastery near Adwa in the north of the country, which is in the Tigray region at 7,000 feet.
That’s TOTALLY NONSENSE Christianity is 100% a Roman thing, the first Africans that pushed Christianity is king Ezena of Ethiopia, he was converted by the Romans/ Greek merchants, the king then told all his people to be Christians
@@BigDonTV33stop your madness and start to get some education in your head. The oldest church in the world is in Ethiopia and the Ark of the Covenant of the oldest Israelites is in Ethiopia now.
@@SamuelComah so Christianity is Africa and the Jesus nonsense is African, ok , if Christianity started in Ethiopia, why was it not all over Africa until colonialism, see you think that because you and many others gloss over the history of King Ezana adopted it in the 4th century ,Christianity only spread in places like Kenya in the 1800’s , yet Kenya is in East Africa close to Ethiopia, Ethiopia was just the first African country to make the foreign religion their national religion, the Portuguese bought Christianity to west Africa much later , so maybe you need to do some more research before coming with that nonsense of Christianity started in Ethiopia

Ethiopian converted to Christianity during the 4th century by king Ezana of Axumite empire. King Ezana was converted by a Greek missionary . It was king Ezana who made Christianity a state religion. Christianity is not indigenous to Africa.
Cultural differences exist and for a person going from one location to another, they should leave room for the adaption, adjustment and assimilation of a new culture they are transitioning into. I have traveled to many countries that are part of continents like North America, (just recently) South America, Asia, Europe and other regions of the world ie. the Caribbean and the Middle East and one of the issues I always face are differences that are unique to that region, country and/ or area whether be it major or however slight, are the cultural differences. Through out my travels I tell myself this is not home so indulge and become part of those things that the countries that I visit has to offer and is about.
One explanation for that is that slaves brought to the New World surviving the Atlantic Slave Trade were first taken from the Portuguese Port called Coromantee on the West Coast of Africa. Another issue I believe a person of African descent has is a subdivision of tribes and I guess the colonial borders complicate this further. We have some retention of African religion amongst us called Pocomania or Revivalism however this religious forms isn't socially encouraged though still practiced on a small scale.
Jamaica do ve a big connection with ghana. All their liberators , the maroon leaders were all ghanaians with akan names. Even the jamaica flag has similarities with the Ashanti flag. But jamaica is no different than ghana, but ghana is safer and nore welcoming. Some jamaicans dont want to be associated with africans . Also with religions, not every Ghanaian is a christian, many are traditionalist as well
You are wrong Jamaica is different from Ghana (one language, one people and far more political & social awareness)I definitely feel safer in JA as I know exactly who and what I’m dealing with
me 🇯🇲 jamaican if am interested in moving to Africa our mother land am going to Niger 🇳🇪 because am a freedom fighter some other Africans are a sale out they sold our great grand father long time ago and will do it again. am an African but not going to some African countries an i know the history them.
Kenyan BEAST - how about you do a video about the ‘challenges Africans face in the West you won’t believe’ and come of our backs - we can speak for ourselves (we have bloggers who do just that and they’re are not all up in your business 🤔)
You trying to live in the west is a choice We trying to return is a homeland, we were born as captives in a land that where our ancestors were taken by force in shackles and chains
The thing is Ghana is visa free for Jamaicans and you guys coming home need to petition the Ghanaian government to change the laws for you because you guys are Ghanaians or Africans. There would a new government in Jan 2025 and their priorities would be fixing the country which this current admin has destroyed so whiles they are at it you guys meed to alert them about what affects you guys moving here. I personally want to guys to be granted automatic citizenship.
The languages aren't the same, Jamaicans use some words borrowed from Ghana. A Jamaican accent is very different from a Ghanaian one. Besides there are many indigenous languages in Ghana, which differ a lot from one another. The water in sachets isn't simply a matter of the packaging. You have various "grades" of "pure water", some are clean and others are less clean. If you're unlucky to buy one of "dubious quality" you can fall ill. I was surprised to learn that Ghanaians aren't as pan-African as our Jamaican brothers and sisters. I say this because Ghana is the birth place of the late Dr Kwame Nkrumah, who not only advocated African unity, but also implemented his ideas whilst in power. It's a shame this founding father has been reduced only to a historical momento. The religion thing will take some work.
Not evwry Jamaican or african american is pan african. Let's be clear. Some don't like or want to be associated with africans. Also u speak of nkrumah. Yes, we have many in ghana that think like nkrumah. But when nkrumah wanted to united africa, who went against him?
