African Americans Talk Too Much in Tanzania| Ep. 141

- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- We are back with another great episode with Kenganda. Again we are blessed to have brother @markmeetsafrica who is here in the building with us once again. We will be discussing how African Americans tell all of their business to Local Tanzanians. African Americans discuss their trauma in the United States with locals. This information is usually not well received by the local Tanzanian community leading to apathy. Due to this information, African Americans are often taken advantage of.

Oshay, your growth is undeniable, bigggg positive!
@@reginaldwest9755 thank you soo much!
Let's get some more coughing and throat clearing DIRECTLY into the mic about 200 more times because the first 100 didn't sufficiently blow the eardrums for those of us listening with headphones. Don't you ever think of pulling away the mircrophone to clear your throat, no, please keep it directly up in your mouth so we can get MORE, not less, of that wonderful loud phlemy vibrations going down your mucus-filled throat. Don't ever stop eating dairy or we would miss all this.
I want to be like Mark when I grow up…The only problem is he’s 22 and I’m 50…🙂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂❤
You are a sucker. 😢
It is a spiritual growth and you are never too old to grow.
I feel the same as you about Mark and I am older than you.😊
📌 I'm Nigerian and I can say 100% This brother in the green needs to be a regular.
JPM made a great impact in Tanzania... even all across Africa. My He Rest in Power 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌹🌹🌹❤️
Mark is one of a kind. An awesome young man. 😊
Mark has so much wisdom for such a young age. He's an asset to any community he lives in.. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
That's open to interpretation
7:17 he’s spot on about people following their leaders. In haiti very few people smoke to this day because Duvalier and Aristide both promoted anti smoking
fascinating
I don't mind that one at all. Let's keep it going lol
Great dialogue. Mark is such a wise and intelligent young man. Thanks for having him on.
I am a Nigeria, and boyy this guy truly understands us. especially with the not-talking about problem out loud. we can be very secretive. and there is definitely good and bad side to it... but you will also understand that its internet and social media age,.. its not about Black Americans talking too much, but its about things going viral and whatever happens in America usually goes viral around the world.. But this guy is super smart
That’s why Africa in the state that it’s in now . Now moral compass . It’s tribal . That’s why you can’t get control of your democracy. Democracy is based on protest and tabling situations for solutions. Y’all just tribal and full of proverty
Yea I have definitely learned that with Africans its very easy to take something to the grave
Something I really had to adjust to
It’s lowkey motivating though
The way Africans can contain so much internally without speaking and continue on
A skill I think everyone can learn from
It is very toxic in family situations. It can Harbour hate..
Waaw when Mark said you gotta grow up when you come to Africa, I was like say it loud so people at the back can hear you
Lol pleaaaase stop it
So why are they fleeing Africa... I'll wait
@@Foboi-hm1rfbecause everyone always think the grass is greener on the others side.
@@Foboi-hm1rffor money. What's your point?
@@Foboi-hm1rf better economical situation, isn't it obvious? Unless your ancestors are some kind of natives, they went for a better life too. Mine sure did. My grand grandparents travelled from France to then Germany Silesia in the middle of World War II because an uncle promised the life and work was much better there in a letter. It's not much different for any people anywhere. We all want to have a good life for us and our kids, we want a perspective, a future.
Im TANZANIAN and MAGUFULI was the best president ever happen in Tanzania..he never kiss western agenda ...
Look at Joanita on the pod looking all cute in her dress. Shout out to Mark it's always a delight to see him on the pod.
West african style.
So fine
I think she's gorgeous...
@ianjustin4389 is she a single mother?
@@mikejones-wn1sw plz explain the connect that has to my comment...
You Gotta Love Mark's Genuine no filter Honesty! Another Great show Guy's
As a Tanzanian we are suffering as any of you suffer. The problem is our leaders. But the people we are really welcoming people. Let's pray for another good leadership
😂 ngoja wakutafute
This gentleman Mark is deep thinker and goes to the ground to pick up every truth. I love his analysis line.
Thanks guy for bringing mark back ❤❤

Yall stepped yall game up with this one way better than the first interview yall got deep into the issues instead of just letting Mark go off the whole interview. Plenty of back and forth engagement.
Mark is always such a joy to behold...
I am an American in the Caribean 40 years. I learned we talk too much we have an "I know I'm right attitude" walk into businesses without saying good morning. Get on a bus without saying good afternoon and we insult peoples intellegence without realizing it because we are full of propaganda that "We are greater because we are born in the USA! SURPRISE! the planet is FULL of really great deeply profound, WARM hearted people if we just listen and be kind.
Not if you are an American from the South. We are known for Southern hospitality.
Oshay, your work-ethic and perseverance is well-above the average content-provider. You are certainly on pace for greatness. In the process, I pray that you attain balance with a little rest&relaxation from time-to-time. A short non-business trip, or 48hr "stay-cation" in private quarters can work wonders for the immune system. Thank you for all that you do.
So much positivity in this comment 🖤
Hello from Philly and central Pennsylvania 🎉❤🎉😂
This guy Mark is one of the most intelligent person of earth. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great communicator, great thinker and a great explanator in general. Very rare qualities he has got. !!!!!!!!!!!
This is the only African American who has 100% understood how to integrate with Africa.
Realistically there's probably more than one
@@yadig. well we need to see more of his kind then.
@rawsportsamerica4895 Oshey still has a bit of work to do. Adapted but not well integrated. His efforts are still appreciated, though.
He is African boy born in America. He is not a descendant of slavery, his parents emigrated from east Africa to America
Yea we obviously good where we at
Mark is legit no doubt. I can see that he has develop a good relationship with Tanzania and the people there. Oshay you are on point about the diaspora moving to Africa. They should know that Africa is not a 1st world yet but with their skills and expertise they can make Africa into global power. Work within the people
I've always said that...
This is what 70% of African-Americans don’t understand. You can’t compare USA with any Africa country. Africans do not go around stealing from other countries to build its economies. Africans work hard for what they have. 1❤️ from 🇯🇲
Ummm no! Native Africans need to build up their own homeland that's not the job of black Americans.
@@MCLottotv they can do that if they have the backing of their government without any interference both internal and external
@@MCLottotv I believe we should be allowed to help
I love that African printed dress. It adds a cultural element to your persona....@ Joanita
Mark is such an elegant speaker
Luv Mark he is smart beyond his yrs! Great interview!
This one of the most intelligent conversations on this channel learned allot
Love the dress Joan!!!
What a podcast, very insightful and educative more black Americans need to hear this
Mark is intelligent and very thoughtful about things.
Mark is so right about Tanzania. I wanted to go when Magufuli was in office. I was so impressed with him. I was excited. I had dealings there when he was alive and now I see the differences just like Mark said. The leadership set the tone. It starts from the top then goes down.
We have to work only with those who are for the progression of Black Africans, period!
Mark is a time traveller. Ageless. Can you please come to the UK and become Prime Minister. Please? Your wisdom is.....
Shouts to Oshay. Joanita.......
Please remember this important point: They never expected us to survive or come back to Africa. So what makes you think they really care about us?
Beautiful dress on the African Sis. ❤🙂🔥🔥💯💯
Mark is wise beyond his age… love this young men ❤❤❤❤
I'm here for Mark and not the profanity. Mark is legit!
Yen Yang 😅
Grow up..there's nothing wrong with profanity.
Negroes always taking shots with their sorry asses
I was Happy/Surprised to Hear Joanita
Cussing along with Oshay......
Profanity is for those who lack proper communication skills. Level up!
my view is that afros from other continents they have one identity when they are in Africa, but us here we have more than one identity Apart from taking pride in our specific countries we also have a tribe that we live by its principles, and what our brothers and sisters from overseas should understand is our African identity is very fragmented and it gets meaning when we are basically dealing with people who don,t resemble us.
@linusmaingi3193 where are these afros your talking about? Afros are not a african thing. We don't resemble you because we are not you.
Great conversations had. It’s all informative and I hope us in the diaspora are listening.
This young man is wise beyond his years. 😮
Is it me or does he look like he could be, Michael Yo's younger brother/son...🤷🏾♀️🤔❓
Handsome indeed 🤩.
God Bless him with longevity and prosperity. Amen 🙏🏾
This young man seems intelligent, observant and a great communicator. He might be the next ambassador or leader.
The best episode by far coming from a 🇬🇭 28:04 🇺🇸 in Seattle 23yrs
Kenganda does a great job interviewing their guests. I am loving this Channel.
I also arrived in Tanzania in 2020 from America. I have been here the whole time and don’t intend to ever leave. I must say that my experience is much different than what Mark has witnessed . I have received much respect from the Tanzanian community everywhere I have been. To be honest, they treat me like a King. Now the difference is I am a “AA” male well over 50 years old. From my perspective, they don’t treat WP any better here. What I think they respect is age, maturity, patriarchy, common sense and money.
@etimtab your prospective is subjective. Reality is they treat everyone better than you. Your too old to be lying for no reason
Partriachy?
@@mikejones-wn1sw That’s why I said “from my perspective”. No need for you to repeat back to me what I said as if I didn’t say it first…But you might be right about them treating others better than me…cause I don’t expect nor require much from anyone. So simple acts of kindness and respect goes a long way with me. And if I am to old for anything it’s for you to respond to me in that manner.
@@yellowmellow7748 What I mean by that is they are very male dominate. The older male gets more respect then most groups. The male is responsible for taking care of the rest of the family. Men get priority in many aspects of daily life. Again, this has been my experience that has happened to me as well as what I’ve seen.
@@yellowmellow7748 That's right, patriarchy . Only in America does the Black woman and youths do not respect the patriarchy (Fatherhood, male rule).
😇God bless you Mark, thank you for sharing🕊❤💯
Ive followed him from the beginning. Reminds me of Malcom. Clear, deep and comprehensive. stay you
Spectacular info...thank you.God bless
This becoming my favorite channel on YT 👏🏿
Hi Anita Kente African attire is beautiful 😍 on her. Please wear more native African wear ❤
Great show!
Magufuli was the best president for Tanzania. Now, we have a lady president who has undone Magufuli's legacy and encouraged hate, stealing, lies and corruption. Mark, you got it right 100%
Mark is an incredible guest
As always, a bright fella! (The guest)....
Shout out to Mark as well. He needs to be on the show more often. Chopping it up with Maintain and Master Gabs.
I agree with Mark, in African culture we are taught that what happens at home stays at home, you don't talk negatively about your family in public. But then George Floyd and social media has made Africans more aware of AA problems in the US.
The crime and murder by African Americans is high in USA but the AA will not talk about. Look up the statistics.
Mark i know the experience myself, i came to Tanzania in 2020 then went back after the great Magufuli demise. That country is definitely not the same, the leadership has definitely changed.
You can't forget a history you never knew. Colonisers made the education system. In Kenya our history past a century ago is a mystery to nearly a 100% of the population. We have a little understanding of what went on in the past .The experience our ancestors had, the great achievements and challenges they overcame are all lost in history. Not by mistake but by design.
Following the behavior of one's leader is not unique to African countries, this is true around the world. It is why the Hitler-sanctioned Holocaust occurred. Also, today the US is a prime example; under Obama people behaved with more respect and courtesy, but under trump, people openly mocked and physically attacked those of a different race/ethnicity. And now infamous the US it's difficult to put the genie back in the bottle. People who engage in such behavior were just waiting for someone to give them permission to act on their baser instincts.
Very accurate!
Maybe true but a excuse! Study or read about mob violence?
@@twanacisse3950read about Jan 6th in the US too and see how a leader can influence his people.
Agreed
the attacks were there during Obamas presidency. It was during Obamas term that Black Lives Matter began
The light-skinned guy said someone called him a slave in Tanzania. Whoever called him a slave probably don't know their history. Much of Africa was enslaved by Europeans. I don't think one slave can be better than the other lol. Slavery is slavery.
This is Mark! When I want to know the truth about Tanzania...MARK IS THE MAN!
Actually in Ghana when you are getting Dual citizenship you must have two witnesses and write a paper why you are living United States and what are your plans in Ghana?
Good evening, everyone!
🇯🇲
Big-up J. A.
I think for me the reason why most Africans look like they don't relate to blacks struggle is because we feel still they have a better chance to succeed than us... What's bad to them we wish to have that any day...
@@nandorblueI agree but not the culture
That's ironic because Africans already got paid selling off black Americans into slavery. Now that you broke and dusty you still want to take resources away from black Americans. How sick of people are Africans?
@@nandorblue Victim? There are 4 MILLION AFRICANS living in America whining about why they fled their countries. There aren't 4 Million black Americans fleeing to Africa. Whose the real victims?
@lucywaithira3050 you prove why we know africans are not really intelligent. We built and fought and created our opportunities by the grace of TMH. Of course africans would trade places with my people and move right into our homes and drive our cars and change their names. Because they hate who they are
@@chuksjay6397there is no “one black culture” as we all come from different areas, backgrounds, racial mixtures and socioeconomic groups so it’s crazy to lump us into one group
Now in regards to the telling of our plight in America…I would have to disagree with the notion of not telling people how it really is over there. It has to be understood that we are the same people…especially those of us from Bantu lineage. I’ve heard it said that because of 400 plus years of separation that we are basically different peoples. One may change your diet, language, customs, and names. But what they can’t change is your Spirit and your DNA. We all have a common enemy…those that enslaved the ones they took and those that colonized them that remained. We are not separate “races” or “nations” we are the sons and daughters of their ancestors. And when we collectively realize what they did and what they are doing…Africa will rise.
If you look at the comments, most are Africans agreeing with Mark. You're wasting your time trying to explain. What's sad is Oshay and Mark knows about the Diaspora wars and are making the situation worse. I'm not seeing very many black Americans commenting on here. They are waking up and realizing Africa is not a place we want to be.
@@tonyamd9800I hear what you’re saying…but I’m not one to follow the crowd. I’ve been able to make an impact here. Starting with one person at a time. I’ve been able to transform the minds of young men here to not look to the west for wealth but to realize they are standing on it here in Africa. But that comes with educating them with the facts not the feelings. I tell them of the atrocities committed not because we need sympathy as victims…but so they know not to let it happen again.
@@etimtab Well it would be nice if you explained that to Mark and Oshay.
some Africans don't like africans . I have one girl from south Africa working in my company but she doesn't even greet her fellow africans but want to be freinds with only whites and Asians .. but asian and white girls new staffs when they come in thier energy is completely different with black girls . They don't take long to fit in . Africans have to learn to love themselves
Please call her aside and tell her off before she runs down your business when clients post negative reviews online.
Hers is a clear sign of inferiority complex. It's quite common in the service industry especially hotels and restaurants.
She's been raised to believe that dark skin is inferior to white and brown.
No African can out argue with someone from the west that knows their history.
@sophiemclarke6556 africans could never out argue us in anything. Nor win in anything against us. Literally. Because we tell these people different history then what the white people have told them after they names them. They say we don't know our history.
Bigap mark he’s so articulate 🇺🇬 Ugandan here.
Oshay needs to stop interrupting when the guest is making a good point
True.
And I agree that Joanita always looks REGAL on set. Very pretty young Queen, for sure.
Marc is right, the country has shifted so much and unfortunately, he is right. Things are not the way they were 8 years ago.
Grateful and understanding as possible is very key. if Black Americans behave even 30% they way they behave in America or online then there will be problems
African Americans should coordinate to have a representation in the AU. I think that will be a good start.
@pjdmoneymantrading2858 for what?
But the AU is useless
Nope, they have too many pathologies and see boogie men everywhere and don't respect the patriarchy.
❤ love you Guys....Joanita.......heeeeeeeey!!!
The problem with our bros from abroad is that they don't adapt quickly to our African culture. They want to live as if they were in the States. Most of them have no plan to develop the mother land
Develop you own land. Do Africans come to America to develop it or for the opportunities?
I don't need a plan to develop Africa that's your job
@@Tyee234Exactly! These Africans come to America and isolate themselves from us.
@@MCLottotvthis attitude is what brings problems AAs complain about. If you act like an outsider and refuse to help build you'll be treated as an outsider with nothing to contribute, so don't complain when they do.
It's not the descendants of enslaved Africans job to build up Africa, as that's seen as pimping them out to be tortured and now wanting to benefit hundreds of years later from the atrocities that were and are still being inflicted upon them. If they feel like moving back to operate businesses, great! If not, more power to them. They owe Africa nothing.
In France at some place they put some things on the meat's package that would ring if you try to steal it. Never saw it but it was on the news.
love the program ..keep talking about the real issues people issues .wow iam learning a lot from watching
I live in europe and we dont get things next day. You have wait 1 or 2 week at least. We dont have amazon here in nothern europe either.
Love Joanita's dress!
Thank you, its for my Ghanaian people.
i have experienced a lot with online friends and more so with an african american i helped relocate to kenya but i just wish he made friends first and understoodthe people here before he came to a point of even insulting me and telling me that he is an american from the most powerful continent. But my question in my mind coz i never answered him back is then why did he leave his continent to come live here......??????
MARC is very articulate young man.
Mark is too much! 🔥🔥💪🏽👍
At the end of the day when you’re a guest in someone’s house, humble yourself and be grateful for the accommodations. Learn the way of the home you’re in and do your best to minimize the effort of your host to accommodate you.
Facts
I just came from Tanzania and I was at a beach very close to his place in Tanzania, sad that the people dont want to listen and clean their acts in public.
I’ve noticed that about Tanzania when the Great Leader was killed! The shift ‼️
Wow,,Mark meets Africa is a knowledgeable guy
Man this young brother is handling his business enjoyed this video.
I’ve been warning people for years that never bad mouth America in Africa.I’ve seen too many people become victims by people who think we are weak and destitute.It’s just like anything you don’t go to a club and tell women you can’t find anyone because they will look down on you.
You can bad mouth America in America. Just like Africans can bad mouth Africa living inside Africa
You don't even have to speak, the media ( MSM and Social Media ) shows anyone who cares to know. The destitution in some states, the gentrification in some areas, the sundown towns, the systemic racism, the hot A.A. tempers, the race soldiers and the looking down on immigrants, especially none ADOS or Native American.
Yet, we Continentals have our own WS scars to show as well and we love you like the cousins twice removed that you are. The cousins whose heritage and resources we should equally share with on the continent. The cousins whose diverse culture we need to repair the melinated social fabric of the black race.
@@africanadage852 If you get your information on Black America through the racist media and troll social media you are misinformed.Most people aren’t online nor do they engage in politics.A clue is there are 45 million AA majority middle income earners and tell me any platform that can get one million views? Race hustlers poverty pimps misery merchants make money pushing negativity
@@africanadage852 all your talk sounds like you watch too much Phil Scott Tariq Umar and these clowns 🤡 and grifters race pimping
To me mark is still very young but l can tell you his inteligents is on onother level
I really like this young man
Europeans, Chinese, Indians been settling in Africa, why not African Americans?
Welcome back home, form your own communities here & work together.. You can even apply for African American tribal status recognition in Kenya...We accept different cultures as they want to be but as long as they're Kenyan at the same time.
This guy he can leave anyplace in Africa
Ms. Maaya looks amazing!
Mark is brilliant 👌
As the leaders, so goes the people.
Oshea is now Pan African. I remember when he was dead set against pan Africanism.
People grow and evolve all the time through personal experiences.
Lol I don’t know what people in tz Mark was talking to. Before Magufuli people were happy when he was in office the country was depressed and now u see ppl r happy again
😂😂😂Kenyans we were afraid of Magufuli the guy had started making Tanzania start compete with kenya ,The reason why Tanzania will never grow is because I don't have leaders like Magufuli this other guys are jokers😂😂 happiness is not a measure of a countries successful
Great content!
We discuss with the Locals history! Our history is documented whether they understand or know it or not! We are on the continent to teach our brothers and sisters who we really are and our experiences. They in Tanzania had slavery Bagamoyo Slave Port and Prison Island. Therefore they have a history of slavery. We were taken into slavery by Arabs before Mzungu. We must teach the locals who we are. It is fine to use the discussion as a teaching moment. Nothing is wrong with sharing our experiences and hurts. They ask us why are we coming to Africa, then it is our opportunity to share and teach. We should never hide our experiences and should be open to teach our local brothers and sisters who we really are. By the way, we are the 6th Region Afrikan diaspora. The historic ones! To make it clear. We are diasporas.
