    • @TheOlegaita

      African Americans for the most part got extremely convoluted perceptions about Africa & Africans..And this's why when many Africans move to the US, they kind of stay away from them. Not because we don't like them but because most have very closed minds about us & only got a mindset that is diametrically opposed to us building kinship. They've been fed FALSEHOOD about Africa for centuries..Western media too alienated them from generating interest in Africa because of focusing only on negative depiction of Africa. UA-cam has really opened up the real TRUTH before their eyes..It has shown thriving cities, Africans getting on with their lives just as normal as anywhere else in the world...UA-cam has shown both rich, middle class & poor Africans. It has also shown them how we are developing our own countries..

    As a Cameroonian (on the western side of the continent), I was expecting the responses from Kenyans to at least make some reference to former US President, Barack Obama whose father was Kenyan too and to then explain that we're closer than they realize. All Black people come from Africa and for me an accent should not separate us because the world just ridicules us the same whether we are in Africa, Europe or the US - we are just Black to them. Our petty squabbles and divisions only work to serve them and we must stand together always.

She/he does not want to learn to adopt to the different accents in SA but wants to live there. How odd is that. Sad too. Favoritism. I know its everywhere but when you are in another country that you were not born in and majority of citizens are not from America, why would you do that? Prefers to deal with you cause of your Brooklyn accent than a local South African. Geez. See the issue is not only with Africans but with black Americans as well. You cant change everyone.

    As Kenyans we are friendly and welcoming. From my interactions with some black Americans I think many of them are paranoid about Africa. One of them said to me he cannot visit Africa because he will be drugged, robbed and killed 😢 he said that our young people wake up every morning to scam people and rob them because of poverty....he seemed to know more about my country than I did...if you look at marriages between Africans and Americans, you are more likely to find interracial marriages between Africans and Caucasians as opposed to Black American to African.
    I think the American black community needs more education about Africa. On the other hand the ones that have experienced Africa, love it in Africa.
    On the other hand i know some Kenyans who could never visit America because of the gun violence and all the freedoms in America like gay marriages yet we know that's not really how America is, so the media can really shape negative or positive perceptions regarding places or people
    There's still a lot that needs to be done in terms of education and you guys are doing an awesome job! I love you two.

    The Liberian situation was a little complicated. A good amount of the AAs that went back to African died before reaching. Once they got there, the saw tribes selling Africans, and that started the conflict/s. Look up Liberia in the 1950s. Liberia was as modern as any country in the world during that time. Africans from all over went there for education, so there were positives. AAs didn't go there to colonize Liberia, and the history needs to be re-explained in the proper manor. Also Mzungu means white man

From a young age I remember my parents listening to Brook Benton, Nat King Cole, Aretha Franklin, Louis Armstrong, The Platters etc. I still enjoy listening to them to this day but I also like listening to Old Skool rap and hip hop (and many other genres) but I do agree with you, a lot of rap does promote a lot of violence which I do think youngsters could be negatively influenced by and may also promote a negative view of the black American culture.

    I always says as a Liberian that our country would be better than it's and we could prevent the civil war if only the black Americans would prority educating the natives they met, treating them well and giving them more opportunities to develop their lives this wouldn't have jeopardize our country. American African can be prosperous in various sector, but they should know that if Africa can not get her dignity among continent they too will still be disrespected in America; this is the fact. Africa need you all here in every sector to change the perspective of the continent. Comes with your knowledge with love in regards to changing the negative character of Africa. I believe we Africans could be more willing working with American Africans in doing business than others color race. I don't believe African Americans company would exploit Africa like others western companies because this is your home.

    This video has shown the good side of us.
    It demonstrates that what my "Mzungu" (Swahili for Caucasian) colleague told me is not correct.
    He said that Black Americans don't like us. There has been this talk about Africans hating African Americans. It is simply not true.
    Sample this.
    James Brown "Father of black music" comes to Lagos, Nigeria in 1970 and he is received like a king.
    Then we have Muhamad Ali match with George Forman in DRC Congo doing "Rumble in the Jungle". The year was 1975.
    In the Eighties we had the musicians like "Donner Summer", "and cool and the Gang". At that time the late Michael Jackson was trying to perfect his game.
    These are the songs that would play in our radios and movie theatres.
    For soap operas, we had "Good times". Remember James Walker? The one of "Dynamite?". And then "Different strokes". Gary Coleman and his friends.
    I am sorry that he ended up suing his parents.
    Those soap operas were interesting because they portrayed people who looked like us.

    In our (Liberian 🇱🇷) history the American Colonization Society brought free slaves to Liberia from these settlements in the U.S.: Maryland, Louisiana, Mississippi and etc. This migration started from 1820s and Liberia gain her independence from the Americans Colonization Society on July 26, 1847. African Americans are credited for settling-up the state hood of Liberia. They've provided the highest number of presidents (99/%) of the presidency.Therefore, we (Liberians) hold them responsible for the failing of the state. Out of the uh 25 Liberian presidents only three who are native and the newly president elect. The problems we have with them is manly concern with marginalization in all sectors and a weak foundation of our country. Most of them are thieves and didn't priority the developments in the nation up to today. They only embezzle the resources out of the country. Their rules is what makes Liberia to be one of the courrupt country in all government sector with no trust from the citizens towards government officials today. It's from this that the new government elected last year have been promising that they will audit the present government by enabling the citizens to change their thoughts of public officials and bringing public dignity to Liberian public institution as they take their seat on January 22nd, this year. What the brother from Liberia who was interviewed is saying about African Americans lacking of Culture in Liberians perspectives is generally about life styles, family relationships such as discipline, and the outcome of the slave trip. The negative impact it brought on Africans American. So far these are some of the problems we have with Americo-Liberians. Unification is strongly working now!

Don't wear jewelry, don't go out at night. Don't go out a lone always be very vigilant. Too intense for me. I've been in Egypt for almost 2 years laid back no worries. Kenyan people got angry that I made a comment about their government advisory warning,
    What they don't tell you in America when they say come to the motherland. Is Africans do not trust each other. I was gonna hire an Ethiopian maid and was told not to do it they steal and are trouble makers. I was like what? Then was told to trust no Africans, not just by one person from one country. I'm used to trusting people until they show me reason not to. It wasn't this intense In America.

Lucky zambia never got such attacks because they would have such advisories too and Kenyan situation was not based on the whole country but majorly Nairobi and Mombasa
