African diaspora embracing their African roots [Culture on The Morning Call]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 вер 2017
- The African diaspora is spread out all over the world. For example in the United States, where we find the African-Americans, from the Caribbean (Jamaica, Cuba, Haiti, and Dominica), and from South America (Venezuela).
Without first-hand knowledge of their roots, many of them can only shape their views of Africa based upon what has been said and written in both the media and distorted history books, which tells us of a continent full of war-torn countries, starving people and corrupt leaders, w…

“A river that forgets it’s source quickly dries up”-african proverb
Idy Udoma Udofa African is the source as the diaspora is the river

Mike Raymond Absolutely
My grandma used to say that..... Hmmm thanks ... If you are correct that means we didn't lose as much of our selves that we originally thought 🤔🤔🤔
I'm going to try to document the language used by Afro Americans and how it ties beyond Slavery
Idy we are the Israelites that were scattered throughout the earth. Even the native Americans are our long lost brothers who migrated here thousands of years ago
Read Deuteronomy 28:15-68

Love the piece on natural hair....GO AFRICA!!
I always wanted to know where my ancestors came from I always wanted to visit Africa.
Me too.
I have visited several countries in Africa even alone as a female. Safe and friendly. There are some cultural challenges...but once adjusted I had a great time! Thinking of moving there!
tomcat 69 everybody ancestors came from africa
ADOS as a group has always embraced our africanism
They forgot about the early 90's and shows where us black folks in the u.s. were wearing African attire. The speech from the woman from Nigeria going to college, was around a bunch of orioles who hate being black as well as anybody from Africa. The African population who lives here need to stop moving to these prodomitly white areas and colleges and move to black areas that do except them and embrace their culture.
I love my African and beautiful black women. You are original and authentic.
Agreed
You guys forgot about black Britishs
is that a thing? or a waterd down version or Black American?
@@kenthugge7445 americans r always thinking about themselves. so ignorant
most black british people are Africans anyway, aren't they? Nearly every black British person I've talked to has been the child of African immigrants. The ones that weren't are from the Caribbean.
@@kenthugge7445 black Irish are very real
We are seeing how the motherland everyone is taking advantage of the motherland. even African leaders they have been hoeing with other nations. Ya'll better wakeup and strat fighting for what is yours we have no friends but we are many we are all over we have to unite.
You can count on us your continental brothers and sisters. Not long ago there was no dialog between us but recently social media has made us more closer than we originally were. Now we know each other's challenges. Let's use these tools to connect more and unite. And eventually we'll be that unstoppable force that nobody can bully anymore.
Just joined ur channel soooo glad I found u!!!!!
I wish as a Cuban I can embrace African roots but I can’t my family migrated from the Canary Islands I’m a white Cuban of Spaniard roots love the african roots and my African. Latinos ❤️
God bless Africa
Let’s end the show with a tribute to a white lady? I guess 🙄
i know right.
Evil family that wants to depopulate Africa smmfh

Does anyone know what music was playing during the slideshow of hairstyles from the festival?
We're making our way back home.
Why talk about Diana whose families had benefits tremendously of slavery
She's so pretty!
I love the nigerian womans speech. I have been to nigeria and it's very much like america and england in many ways. The only difference is I feel safe walking at night in Lagos in comparison to NYC central park
Hmm Okay!
The children of ENslaved Africans are lost, miseducation and are apparently contented NOT to know, accept, adore, admire, embrace and preserve their ancestral African Heritage - the purity of the ONE their ancestors were told to despise and neglect.
In the late 60's/early 70's, many Jamaican Africans, led by singer Peter Tosh, were correctly affirming and re-affirming that:
"Don't matter [where you] come from, once [they call ] you a "black" man, YOU are an AFRICAN...
"Don't mind [your] nationality, YOU got the SAME identity - YOU'RE AN AFRICAN"
"If [your] complexion high, high, high...
"If [your] complexion low,
low, low...
"If [your] complexion [is] in between, YOU'RE STILL AN AFRICAN..."
- -- - Peter Tosh.
Let's have in the "worldsphere":
"African Heritage Month"
"African History Month"
Native/Indigenous Africans - the world over -must NOT surrender ownership of AFRICA.
Or, of their Africanness...
Wyndhl "ENslaved" huh!? If Africa is like you, then it is not worth embracing. Every day 100's of Africans emigrate to the U.S. If not for the children of "ENslaved" Africans who suffereed,and fought against slavery,and racism to change the laws here in the U.S, non of you continentals could ever come here. Contemplate that! Lost ..My Ass!
White supremacy has deceived all Africans, pitting us against each other.
Not true at all, I live the fact that I'm of African descent I'm Haitian and only wish that I actually knew what the actual African culture is like.... If anything I hate not knowing.

@Wyndhl i dont know which African Americans you have spoken to, but this African American hunger to know about my African heritage as do many more. In fact i would venture to guess, that those who hunger to know more far out weights those who dont. So please stop generalizing it serves no purpose save to make you feel better.
Despite my family being in America for several hundred years, I found out that I am 93% African with the majority of that from Nigeria and Mali. Most people that I say that I look Yoruba. I claim Yoruba as my tribe. I no longer call myself an African American, I am a Diaspora African..

ur of african and european descent lol hush

we are Negros, not African we are Hebrews that's the BIBLE
@@moni7803 you can't silence the word of GOD
I think it has something to do with the rapid development of a lot of African nations
Westernizing is not development. Africa was developed long before Europeans came.
Also in South America Guyanese. 😂 Don't forget us.
Diana????????? Wha......
Please...that’s not true for everyone. It’s only ignorant people. In the Caribbean and scarce places of the US, Americas, we still keep the languages and customs in sprinkled ways.
Heavenly Beautifully Black especially in the southern part of the United States
Rico Arrington totally agree. It’s just that we are “multi-tribed”. So there is so many influences without some of us realizing. Like “Nana” means big mother, head mother, granny. And there’s influences even in Mexico and the other Americas. But if other Africans are uneducated about other African tribes/cultures then they’ll never know and dismiss us as what the media portrays. To add, we are judged and we too judge them by our “few” encounters with others. We have a lot to fix in terms of relations.
@@Melanin_Move I'm impressed because that word Nana also means the same thing in many Southern African languages
US of AFRICA ✊
How can we embrace our roots while we see the Motherland loosing its Africanism and looking more western as these repoters? Use of English is westernization of Africa. Tribal languages should be a source of pride. We in America see that our Brothers and Sisters forgoing our traditional culture.
This channel is an international channel so it's audience is worldwide. That's why they use English there. But you have a point when you say we're being westernised. The fact that our leaders didn't throw away colonial Spanish, French, Portuguese and English still shows that there's a lot of work to be done. These languages are used in government administration and communication, education and in all spheres of life. African people therefore have to master one of them to be able to communicate with leaders and govt officials to make his point across. The question is why can't we do it in local languages! The languages that is understood by the majority of our people?
We do have local broadcasting media houses that broadcast in local languages. We do host cultural events and fashion thorough the year. So even after about 400 of colonisation and marginalisation of our languages and cultures the white man didn't do any damage as we managed to carry them across to today's generation intact. So don't lose hope don't despair. We the youth will rectify things for the future generations so that they don't have to go through what we went through.
Cool. Our own news channel

What is going on at the end you be surprised some they're with the agenda to destroy us. stop looking for white savers it strat with us and it ends with us.why you think white people love Nelson Mandela because they all benefit from his policies. while his people suffer Africans better wakeup trust no one.
Really?..........Princess Diana? 🥴
Black Americans are most definitely of African ancestors. However the identity African American which is only used for blacks in the United States I wonder why the term is not used for African Jamaicans, African Brazilian, African Europeans, African Mexican, African Cubans, African Trinidadian, or any country with black. In African countries I learned that there's no African Nigerians, African Kenyans, African congos, African Egyptians, African Morocco's, etc they're Nigerians, kenyan, Egyptian etc from countries in the continent of motherland Africa. Black Americans can't discriminate or denied the horrific history our ancestors endure. The sad truth is that DNA reveal that around 70-80% blacks have atleast 25% European blood 2% native American blood and 65-80% African blood. And to be identified as African Americans is a for of discrimination and disrespect for our ancestors that were slaves with European and native blood running through their veins. I support with open arms the box that say African American/ Black American on applications or census. We suffered enough in America to be Black Americans and strongly support the African Diaspora.

You people dont even know African culture. Anyway African culture is diverse. Homosexuality as a cool thing isnt part of indigenous Ghanaian culture. If u are lost, u are lost
Ok I have a question. If a person is born in africa but they are white, doesn't that make them african?
The Afrikaners are not African
no they're not ethnically african nationality wise yes they are. but africans dont say theyre african when talking abt nationality they say their country. so yea whites can not actually be african...
And i cant believe Africans leaders sold us to Europeans. they never came back for us or try to remember us of our ancestors struggles .many Africans come to America and they don't know the history of us how we end up in this strange place. Africans always looking to the white man some even treat the white man better than thier people what a joke. ya'll really need knowledge of our ancestors struggles. and believe me once you know you are going to proud of who you're and how important we are to this world.
Literally not everyone was sold there where plenty African kings queens and chiefs that where killed and enslaved by the Europeans especially in central Africa where the kings and leaders when to war with the Europeans for to stop the kidnapping of their people
So what? We live now, not in the past.
This is true. A King of the Congo had many of his people taken by the Portuguese.
