Zack you hit the nail on the head once again... I'm an African American born and raised in Chicago, I am married to an Togolese super woman, we have a home in Lome, Togo... Everything you said is right on point, we are one people... I never had any problems with Africans, they're my brothers and sisters... When I first started meeting many Africans, I was surprised, I was very uneducated about Africa... I thought my African brothers and sisters were on the front line of the battle with racism, I did not know about colonialism, it wasn't taught here in the states, just like they weren't properly taught about African Americans... The say the least I was very surprised, but I am so glad that many of us are finally coming together as a people... The awakening is finally happening... we are one people...
Can you PLZZZZZZ explain in Detail how are we one people when Zulu/igbo/yoruba/Fulani/dogon etc don't see themselves as one people ❓ Why do we all need to be the same people in order to work together ❓
I have encountered Africans showing favortism to white people with greetings & smiles & plattitudes while ignoring the smiling AA greeting them as a decent courtesy. When thrown in a work project together, the AA asked the African why he ignored the kindnesses altogether of the AA. He stated it was because he doesn't greet strangers. I stated you had plenty of greetings for white coworkers you didn't know. I watched you. Why is that. He remained silent. Then I told him when I visited Nigeria, they were very welcoming. Once he learned that I had been to Africa & members of my family had gone been visiting various parts of Africa since the 70s (Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Morroco, Nigeria) he lightened up & we became friendly. Just work through the differences. Be honest but not aggressive. Seek understanding. AA are the same people, & just because we grew up in America is no reason to hate AA, because I see Africans breaking their necks to get to the same Western nations that AA ancestors were forced to come to without remedy. We made civil rights possible for all groups that are not white anglo saxon males. Our ancestors helped the Western nations to prosper. We ought to love & respect one another on the Continent of Akebulan & off; full stop.
As a black american I'm married to a beautiful Liberian woman and I have been to Africa 3 times ( 4th time in April) the people of Africa treated me very kindly and some of them told me welcome home brother
PASS THE WORD. The worse thing to ever happened to Africa is Muhammad, Jesus, Islam and Christianity all was used by Arab and European conquerors to enslave the bodies, minds, and souls of African black peoples, and we have yet to recover from it as African peoples. Give these Arabs back their Muhammad and Islam and give back these Europeans their Jesus and Christianity. LET'S RECLAIM OUR TRUE AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY, FOR SUCH IS OUR FIRST TRUE STEP TOWARDS REVOLUTIONARY TOTAL LIBERATION PASS THE WORD.
(African American in Arizona) I'm in my 40s, growing up, we African Americans knew about white supremacy, and after all the mistreatment and hatred white people did to us, for the most part, we African Americans didn't hate white people, we just tried to go about living ourselves one day at a time, and tried to protect ourselves.

Have you noticed, that this negative view or narrative is not collectively put on any other black group.

Europeans and Arabs have a LONG HISTORY of killing and mistreating BLACK PEOPLE, or black Africans...and let me tell you, even with that, I have NEVER seen or heard of a black African having hatred, malice, or having a negative view or stigma towards Europeans or Arabs. Please try to imagine the sheer scale at which Europeans and Arabs have mistreated, killed and murdered, and plotted against black Africa...now ask yourself, why in the world, out of ALL the black people in the world...why the negative focus or criticism even exists towards African Americans???

I'm an African-American from Texas. I have love for any of my brothas and sistas around the world. I could care less about who doesn't like me. I feel that we have much to learn from each other. We have to unite. They divided us to conquer us. They only way they can be more powerful than us, is for them to keep us divided. Don't believe what u see from western media, we have people that look like us, that are paid puppets. We love out brothas and sistas in Africa. I'm willing to give my life for the betterment of our people.
Well done, I respect what you had to say, and it's appreciated. I'm African American and will visit more countries on the continent with my family soon. I'll remember your advice.
Zack I have been watching your videos religiously for a least a year now. I think this is my very first comment. You make a lot of very good points about this issue as usual. First of all I am 1000% for unity of all black/African people. Whether you live in the continent of Africa, I am somewhere in the Caribbean, Brazil, the US, Europe we are all the same. And we came from the same tree. If the person genuinely want to have a bond with his or her roots we should welcome that person with open arms. The issue that has kept us divided is ignorance which is one of the effects of slavery, and colonization.
The ignorance isn't bitn out of slavery and colonization. That is a crutch. It's borne out of wilfully not making any effort to learn about others outside one's community
When Africans were trafficked into the Trans Atlantic slave trade, they left behind their mothers, fathers, spouses, children never to see them again. The us verses them claim is devoid of reason, because someone in Gambia, Benin, Ivory Coast, Cameroon has ancestors who were buried in Africa and America broken hearted.
@@brotherkareem181is that why all African Americans/Caribbeans have African DNA relatives? Especially Igbo.. every enslaved person had family left behind.
When will we understand we are one people if you have African Ancestry. We must stop generalizing each other. There is good and bad in every race. Judge people on how they treat you personally. As an African American I have so much love for all black people. If I meet bad black people I don't interact with them. If you are kind and compassionate then I can relate.
I'm not trying to generalize, but I have seen more hatred and desire for separation coming from Black Americans. Africans who say that we are the same people are quickly reprimanded by certain black Americans who accuse them of having stolen their opportunity in the United States on the networks. I experienced discrimination in the United States during my short stay there (Luckily, I met more black Americans who didn't hate me and some are still friends with me). But even on the networks, you will especially see certain Black Americans despising Africans. Coming from French-speaking Africa where black Americans are enormously appreciated and defended when there are debates with white French speakers, I was really surprised to see the hatred of black Americans or blacks in general towards Africans when I I started learning English to watch videos. linked to the United States. A few years ago, in most of the West Indies, they completely forbade their children from marrying Africans. Haitians are the black descendants I have seen appreciate Africans the most and loudly declare that they are proud of their African roots (including Brazilians). But this is only my experience and I am not generalizing except that the internet is full of videos of hatred towards Africans. But I really share your point of view and thank you for having a mentality of unity rather than division because the ignorant (blacks in general) who get carried away by hatred have not yet understood that unity makes force and that division helps us remain forever socially inferior, serving the interests of those who do not like us. Have a nice day/evening

Sorry I don't unite with people who have nothing to offer me. I don't rap. I dont play basket ball. So black americans.have nothing to offer me. Everybody is courting African people because of the wealth under their feet. Russians are bringing their nuclear technology, Chinese are building high speed trains all over Africa. All u black American bring is your.sense of entitlement. No thanks. Africa unity is between African born and raised who understand the continent. U have nothing to offer.
I don’t care if Africans hate Us African Americans, I am a so called African American and I Love my people 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Zack, Thank You for being One Who Unites Us!
I don’t think they hate us but America and the Western World has done a number on us on both sides of the Atlantic with the propaganda. Theres a two way smear campaign with them being told bs about us and us being fed bs about them. It’s by design.
The problem is that the media is painting Africa bad to the rest of the world..but we love every person all around the world.. America..Carribbean.. Middle East n all .we love each other.
Excellent commentary. I am African American. I have lived my African culture almond of my life. My children were ridiculed because their peers thought that we were continental Africans. It only made my children stronger. They integrate well with all Black peoples and they are raising their children the way they were raised ❤
U think being black is having african culture?how could u have lived an african culture if u were never raised speaking an african language? U think the nonsense of black panther is african culture?
We have the good, bad, and the ugly!!! Still, the world loves our style,swag,and great creativity. Now that's good!!! Stop the hate and try get with the good!!! ❤❤❤
I'm an African American and my wife, my Queen is Ethiopian we've been married for 15yrs and we have 3 beautiful children.I lived in Ethiopia for 2yrs and stay in Ghana for 3months. Everyone treated me well especially in Ethiopia they said that I look Ethiopian and in Ghana they said the same thing.We are truly one.
I’ve been to the continent before twice and had a pretty decent time in regards of their culture and personality. Sure no one is perfect no matter where we’re from on this earth but my experience was pleasant. NOW! There’s something going on with Africans I encountered here in the US. I really believe they’re somehow hand picked of whom not only comes but foreigners the US allows to stay. I’m speaking the truth when I say I’ve experienced around 90% of Africans regardless of country with distance and quite rude personalities. I even had one to categorize us BA and I’ve never met him before. We’ve been called lazy, told it’s none of your business, middle finger etc and no it wasn’t anything I or anything someone done to warrant that treatment. And I say to myself we as black Americans paid the way for them, why the pushback?! Not all I mentioned bc I socialize with a lovely Kenya woman at the gym but again there’s something strange going on with how the ones who’s here have such disgusting attitudes.
My best friend for almost 20 years is African. They didn’t know I was American at first and they use to talk really bad about us in their gatherings. We had the African booty a scratcher jokes back in the day and that didn’t sit well with the Africans. I personally don’t have anything against them and would love for us all to come together and be on code💯✊🏾
This conversation is important and the more we have it the more we will be able to close the gap. We as Black Americans want to be accepted but I think we need to remember that when we go to the continent that some people are so busy trying to survive that they don’t have the emotional capacity to even recognize that we are diasporans returning home. They just see someone that can buy a Zanzibar pizza and they want to sell it to you.
& Why Would Black-Americans Want To Be #ACCEPTED BY 3RD-WORLD-AFRICANS????🤔 When It Doesn't Actually Benefit "Black Americans" In Anyyyy Way At Allll It (ONLY) "BENEFITS #AFRICAN #IMMIGRANTS"...So when ppl say this nonsense u actually just make "Black-Americans" look & sound like we're sooo weak, desperate, pathetic, & thirsty. When we're (NOT) bc why would Black Americans living in a 1st-World Country already really need to BEGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! "3RD-WORLD-PPL" FOR ACCEPTANCE?????...MAKE IT MAKE SENSE?????🤔 Bc Black-Americans, Africans, Caribbeans, & Afro-Latinos, also are actually allll totally different ethnicities, lineages, & cultures, of ppl. With totally "different & separate" histories, backrounds, cultures, lingo, music, foods, religion, ethnicity, Ect...So Nooooo we have nothing in common with African ppl at all & "Black-Americans" actually (DON'T) even have anyyy African relatives at Alllll TBH. So Nooooo we definitely "DON'T NEED #ACCEPTANCE FROM AFRICANS" bc we are actually "Black-American-Citizens" that can never be dep0rted from "American"...But African, Caribbean, & Afro-Latino, Immigrants, can allll be "DEP0RTED FROM AMERICAN" that's the difference...So get some self-esteem & QUIT #BEGGING "3RD-WORLD-PPL" FOR "ACCEPTANCE" SMH BC BLACK-AMERICANS ACTUALLY DON'T BENEFIT FROM AFRICANS AT AIIII...THEY (ONLY) BENEFIT OFF OF #TETHERING ONTO BLACK-AMERICANS HISTORY, CIVIL-RIGHTS-MOVEMENT, FIGHT, BENEFITS, & ACCOMPLISHMENTS. & OFF OF OUR MUSIC, HBCU'S, SOUL FOOD, & OFF BLACK-AMERICANS WHOLE-IDENTITY, HISTORY, & CULTURE, IN AMERICA...THAT BLACK-AMERICANS ALSO HAD TO FIGHT!!!!!!! & DIE!!!!!! FOR ALONE. & AII BC #AFRICA DECIDED TO "SELL-OUT!!!!!!! THE WHOLE CONTINENT OF AFRICA" INTO #SLAVERY FOR "SHINY-TRINKETS"...SMH🤦 SO NOOOO "BLACK-AMERICANS NEVER NEEDED AFRICAN-PPLS ACCEPTANCE" AT AIIIII TBH.
@jaymarcase9737 it’s not just that these store traders are tryna make a honest buck. If you were in their shoes would you sell that pizza at same price your neighbor can afford. No. You would sell at best price you can get. Market economics. If you don’t like it try price haggling but don’t get offended or take it personally.
@@originalceo the issue is that it boils down to fairness. If you sell a Pizza to someone for $5 and I’m next in line and have to pay $15 due to the vendor’s preconceived notions, it’ll come off as unfair. The motivations are understandable but the prospective customer has every right to feel slighted.
Zack, thanks so much for enlightening us on customs and traditions. I glad you broke it down for us so we leave with a greater understanding. Thanks so much, brother.--Carly from Los Angeles, CA USA
I remember a part of Richard Pryor’s stand up act when he talked about his visit to Africa. He said being in Africa as a black man was how white folks must feel like in America…relaxed. Of course it was comedy, but I fell out. 🤣
This is the best message I have heard in a long time about blacks understanding each other from their spaces and where they live. We are all black but we are still very different. Thank you my brother from another mother. Good word.
You are right. I’m from Papua New Guinea and when I moved to Australia, I made it an effort to never change my roots and culture. It’s done me well so far.
In the same way, you sell them for money. Many Africans who travel to America are willing to collaborate with negatives that further marginalized black American to be accepted and validated by white Americans
Black americans are NOT trying to make African people life better in America. They have insulted and persecuted African people for decades. They are not making white people life better either.
@realpillvintage628 He did say not All Africans dislike AA. There are more love towards our AA brothers/sisters from Africans than there is dislike. Same goes to AA disliking Africans. However, I believe there are more love than dislike. There’s dislike everywhere, even within close relatives. Our sole duty is to unite, cheer, encourage, and support one another.
I don't know how you do it Zack, but brilliant broadcast. You manage to simply you answer and it make sense. That's true what you said about Africans. However other African Americans have a condensating attitude towards us when they land in Africa.
And y’all have the same attitudes when you come to America!! And it’s beyond offensive bc if it wasn’t for us you wouldn’t even be able to come over here!! That’s a fact , the civil rights bill made it possible for you to come over here to America !! Bc America damn sure wasn’t letting immigrants that look like y’all come over here before 1965!!
Well, we wouldn't come to that develish country if they were not killing our people and our leaders and hiring puppets as our leaders to keep on extracting natural resources that we Africans have go underground where some get buried there digging them up.
We don't care about that silly ass country that is about to go to war. Leave our resources that give you jobs, phones, cars, and fast internet and all that development alone then you can keep your country and we won't come there
You are funny Prof. Zack,😂 unda de blood.🇯🇲 Very good content, the transparency and clarity of today’s content was wonderful, and the words used were on point. 1❤
That'd exactly right. As a resident of Tanzania my Kenyan wife also got that treatment because her Swahili is audibly Kenyan and Kenya has a higher currency. So i never tripped out about that. They also need to different prices for foreigners to control inflation. I hope that sweet looking girl that he is refering to learns Swahili and comes back. The people are quite welcoming once you can connect worth them.
You are so right, I am from Detroit... and nobody is waiting to welcome you... Actually, there are many similarities between Detroit and any City... in any African country. Giving me a little more insight into the behaviors you described. Much Love from Detroit! 🥰
Greda, i think its the image of er... Maya angelou in the african continent that folk have in mind and how she was greeted there. i don't blame folk for thinking they'd be welcomed with open arms.
@@PHlophe Hmmmm... not Maya Angelou... maybe for those over 70 years of age. I do remember how Muhammed Ali was welcomed and that left an impression. I also remember first learning about Patrice Lumumba... I think, we in the USA incorrectly assumed the Leaders of former colonies in Africa were fighting oppression.. It is a "bummer" that so many are complicit... Same occurs here...
Am Nigerian, I can assure you we over here don't even notice it, we are so diverse that we can easily assume any African in Nigeria could easily be from any region, I see no hate against any diasporan. All blacks are welcome, just don't expect special treatment from any one. Just blend in and fall in line simple
those lies are planted by the enemy to divide, and conquor. i am African American and i have mostly African friends, and i love them, and i know the African Brothers love me, also
The 'Muzungu price' phenomenon is not unique to Africa, it takes place everywhere in the world & is unique to the informal business (flee-market) sector. I encountered the same thing at flee-markets in France, the US, Germany, Italy & Greece, Russia, China etc. Of course, it will appear as if its an 'African thing' because businesses in most African countries are largely informal, from taxis to accommodation, food, clothing & virtually everything as opposed to business in the West which is overwhelmingly formal & owned by corporations.

Laziness refers to having Asians profit off your people. Laziness refers to having your people sold off everywhere apparently. Laziness refers to reaching out for protection from everyone else rather than standing strong with your people.
@@ddouye3969obviously you have believed the words of the oppressor. If an FBA was lazy, then people from Africa wouldn't be able to travel to America because there would still be slavery. Think about that🤔

It sounds like black culture has the same roots. For example, if one of you come to visit me at dinner time and I made a pot of food, I will share it with you (your own plate). You will not go hungry. When I visited YT friends in Europe at dinner time, I thought it strange and rude that they do not offer you to join them for dinner. Not that everyone is this way, but majority seemed to eat separately.
This is a great video! My wife and I have plans to visit Africa one day when it’s financially feasible for us. We don’t know what country, but we have time to figure it out.
It pains me to hear such a statement. I am a Ghanaian living in Germany now. How I wish to have my relatives from America, as Friends or Relatives in Ghana. Please remove the negative thoughts because we love you all. Enjoy Africa to the fullest.
I lived in Germany off and on from 2001 until 2016. Africans did not congregate with Africans from American. I don’t know how it is now but they were so jealous of us. That’s not our issue that’s their issue.🤷🏿
Why will an African be jealous of u people. US government statistics says 80 percent of u cant pass BASIC high school math. U think people are jealous of your shoes and clothes? pathetics. The majority of African in germany goes to attend Universities or do business.
I am so glad you touch on this topic it happen in Caribbean also . We from diaspora have to pay more for goods and service , sometimes went I visit back home my country (Jamaica) I have to allow my family that living in Jamaica to do all the talking in order to get the local price 😂
I don’t ever look at any differences because there so many similarities I love that you brought this subject matter to forefront so we aren’t hiding feelings but clarification that produces love that are same the heathens could only temporarily sever our customs and heritage I grew up in the diaspora amerikkk and I was disciplined by any melanated person who saw me doing something wrong and if they see your parents and tell them you were doing you are gonna get disciplined I grew up in Los Angeles California but these customs were brought from the South like my people who were from Mississippi and all the melanated people in the diaspora kept the traditions Shalom ACH Zack
@eddixon9730. The custom ( culture) you grew up in whilst in the Southern states is embodied in the adage " it takes a village to raise a child ". Hence the inherent respect for all seniors by African youth. You usually get respect according to how the perceives you in relation to them; Mother/Father/brother / sister/ aunty/ uncle. Sadly, colonial influence damaged but did not erase this perspective. Zack is on point.
Thank you for this video. Please allow me to make a comment. Obviously, I am omuzungu from the US. The only other country I have been to is the pearl of Africa, Uganda. I am in love with Uganda because of its natural beauty and climate. Also because of how wonderful and welcoming the Ugandan people are: I love Uganda so much that I found and married my beautiful bride there in Buganda. When it comes to acceptance, I don't think it is completely a color, or nationality, thing. I am a natural American citizen who has never felt welcome here in America, and I'm white! However, the people of Uganda, and especially my new family there, have welcomed me with open arms, hearts, and no pretense. Again I say that I love Uganda, and it looks like I will be immigrating there, and I am so excited about the opportunity to visit all of the EAC.
Thank you for being kind with your words. I tell people of all cultures and races to travel to other countries and see their culture because we are not all the same. It is a learning curve for some of us.
BP globally do not have the luxury to bicker about who is the better Blk person. While groups are gathering resources and building greater wealth and a legacy for their families, people want to discuss which blk group is the worst (which serves as a distraction) I don't understand people with that type of smallminded mindset.
Brother it is a good thing you are keeping it Real. from Both Sides. The Truth is a lot of Black Americans and Caribbeans have been taking advantage of by Africans. Some of been un-alived. Much work to be done.
Yes I eat lots of authentic West African delicious meals, mainly Togolese food, but my awareness of self and the love for my people started way back when I first saw the movie Roots... That movie woke up the hidden warrior inside of me, from that time the ancestors have guided my steps...
That’s true! When I went to Africa they were calling me colored boy. I said no I’m African and they laughed at me. It is what it is. I’m not tripping anymore.

(African American in Arizona) I'm in my 40s, growing up, we African Americans knew about white supremacy, and after all the mistreatment and hatred white people did to us, for the most part, we African Americans didn't hate white people, we just tried to go about living ourselves one day at a time, and tried to protect ourselves. White people had SYSTEMS in place to sabotage us African Americans...now what we African Americans DIDN'T KNOW was, how other groups: Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, blacks in the Caribbean, and even continental black Africans, aligned themselves with WHITE supremacy or even Arab supremacy (Somalia). Some of us African Americans are ok, but some of us didn't mentally survive America. I'm Pan African, but I have to say. We African Americans or Israelites need to unite and help each other... because to the rest of the world, and that includes black Africans, were just someone they can try to use, look down on, criticize, or try to take advantage of. Out of ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, how did this negative narrative about African Americans spread around the world, even amongst black people.

I never experienced African hate. I’ve been infused in the West African culture by marriage. From my experiences Africans tend to respect you based on your accomplishments and what you have to offer society or the community, regardless of where you were born.

I think that's fxcked up. So they treat those who are less accomplished a certain way. If they believe in stereotypes does that affect how they view others? I say that because I had an experience w/ an African and it just made me realize that all skin folk ain't kinfolk even if they are from the motherland.
Zack, yuh nuh easy. (You are not simple, not predictable. You are unpredictable.) They do that same garbage in Jamaica if they think that you are a foreigner. I usually find out the prices before going out shopping. Big up yuh self.💜🇯🇲🇨🇦
Black Americans, Africans and CaribbeanS DO NOT agree on a common enemy, we DO NOT share a common culture, we have distinctly different perspectives which is why we can easily identify that someone is foreign in our native country. Our skin tone can’t be the unifying factor. Europeans united to exploit the wealth and resources of Africa and before that they were constantly at war with one another.
This is the conversation we need to have more of. If we can break these barriers, we could be a power nation. Ofcourse, this is why the colonizers wanted to divide the continent and our people, to control us and steal resources at the same time. I pray for the xenophobia in certain Africans. However, I still love my African family and my positive experiences definitely outweigh the negative. Thank you so much for your input and your tips, your breakdown was masterful.
I'm a Jamaican living in America, I consider myself to be Jamaican, so I always wonder why blacks in America refer to thereself, an African American, and not just American. I think only people from Africa are Africans, but we are all black, and our ancestors are Africans. It is all love, though ❤❤❤
Yeah keep ur dam opinion...so if am born in America I can't consider myself african America 😮shame on you that's really hurtful to us and I have and will call myself african American 👏🏾 stop your hate
@@neviamuktar they made you remember Africa . Especially guys like KKK. They made sure u aint free and equal. They killed black leaders. And European American leaders who want equality. Now those Europeans who are in Africa want to be called Africans not European African.
LOL. Liar. Zero anthropological evidence. What is your language? What is your name? What are your customs? Name me your social structure? Tell us someone prominent from 1000 years ago in the "indigenous" demographic? What are your creation tales or religious symbols or rites? Mr Indigenous answer these please. Many thanks
Black man is my heritage,whether hes home or diaspora...i have much love for african Americans ❤ these peoples are like the Phoenix rising up from the ashes ,overcoming the transgressions meted against them and becoming a threat once again and sending their captors in panic mode
As a Haytian woman years ago I was not aware of the Africans customs, now I know, but as far as criticizing Africans there are many bad black Americans also, there are everywhere.

I travel the world but not Africa. I had people in Ethiopia and Kenya work for me. Where ever I go I never forget I'm a guest. Even if I don't speak the language I respect the culture. Many Americans leave the country and think the world is like them. Some have a western arrogance. I'm moving to the Dominican republic to be with my daughter and enter in their world not mine . I have eaten from the same pan as Muslim in Doha.

For what it's worth. I really, really appreciate what you are doing, brother. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. God tell the truth show the world. What we black people are all about. It's not about us or- me. She or him, it's about all of us. Thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think alot of of the dislike is caused my years of the Europeans putting negative thoughts in our heads. Why, do people in the Diaspora think black Americans think their better is probably due to our own ignorance living in the west.
I respect this brother for makng this video. As a black American I respect ALL BLACKS in Africa, Caribbean Islands, North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Middle East Asia and anywhere I forgot to mention. We must all come together, have our own currency, trade our own resourses, build for and educate our own people. Its time my beautiful black brothers and sisters.
I remember a time I was so naive, I use to think Black American and Africans were the same people just happened to be in two different places bc of slavery… I’m also from Chicago and there is a big African community on the north side of Chicago… and my girl cousins have a history of dating the African men… I remember one time we were hanging out and I mention something about Africans and African Americans people being the same people… you would’ve thought I called that man out his name… he was so offended that I made a suggestion that Africans and African Americans were the same people.. I was so confused I didn’t understand why he became so offended… he even said that African Americans are not African… I was flabbergasted.. he told me that African doesn’t look at African American as their own.. he said Africans viewed us as white people LMAO I let him know that MOST African American have over 75% of African blood.. keep in mind this was someone I had hung out with several times, he was dating my cousin who was a African American woman, and I had no idea he felt this way about us… I did my research on the relationship between African Americans & Africans and I discovered that most Africans carried these sentiments.
Alot of African Americans with over 90% African DNA. For example, Shannon Sharpe. Slave trade lasted til 1800s. However, a lot of them even here in the U.S. like to put down East African looking men because they love East African looking women. In South Africa they love, except, and respect Tyla who’s colored but won’t colored men. Even here in the states if you’re a lighter skin male celebrity you’re very attractive. But, if your middle class your below average. This is only the case in communities around white people where black people look to them for support. Also, white nobility finds East African women more attractive. Megan Markel for example.
I’m a normal white person and I understand that Europeans are better than Americans better culture better manners better education pure bloods are better better than mixed up people blackflies continental Africans are better than you
Yo I really don’t like this subject. It is divisive and honestly I don’t find it real. I have always had friends from the continent growing up and in my adult life I have met wonderful people from the continent who I still engage with regularly. I think people who think this way are brainwashed by the pale people or are doing out of ignorance or insecurity.
Zack you hit the nail on the head once again... I'm an African American born and raised in Chicago, I am married to an Togolese super woman, we have a home in Lome, Togo... Everything you said is right on point, we are one people... I never had any problems with Africans, they're my brothers and sisters... When I first started meeting many Africans, I was surprised, I was very uneducated about Africa... I thought my African brothers and sisters were on the front line of the battle with racism, I did not know about colonialism, it wasn't taught here in the states, just like they weren't properly taught about African Americans... The say the least I was very surprised, but I am so glad that many of us are finally coming together as a people... The awakening is finally happening... we are one people...
You sound reeducated, probably you've eaten enriching African food filled with wisdom, self awareness and knowledge, go on you are now free
What's a super women ?
Can you PLZZZZZZ explain in Detail how are we one people when Zulu/igbo/yoruba/Fulani/dogon etc don't see themselves as one people ❓ Why do we all need to be the same people in order to work together ❓
@@KnowThyself47 what's really your point?
@@eaganbright5716 Don't answer a Question with a Question
I have never encountered a African hating an African-American. I am not saying it doesn't happen, I haven't experienced it.
I have encountered Africans showing favortism to white people with greetings & smiles & plattitudes while ignoring the smiling AA greeting them as a decent courtesy. When thrown in a work project together, the AA asked the African why he ignored the kindnesses altogether of the AA. He stated it was because he doesn't greet strangers. I stated you had plenty of greetings for white coworkers you didn't know. I watched you. Why is that. He remained silent. Then I told him when I visited Nigeria, they were very welcoming. Once he learned that I had been to Africa & members of my family had gone been visiting various parts of Africa since the 70s (Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Morroco, Nigeria) he lightened up & we became friendly. Just work through the differences. Be honest but not aggressive. Seek understanding. AA are the same people, & just because we grew up in America is no reason to hate AA, because I see Africans breaking their necks to get to the same Western nations that AA ancestors were forced to come to without remedy. We made civil rights possible for all groups that are not white anglo saxon males. Our ancestors helped the Western nations to prosper. We ought to love & respect one another on the Continent of Akebulan & off; full stop.
I have!

As a black american I'm married to a beautiful Liberian woman and I have been to Africa 3 times ( 4th time in April) the people of Africa treated me very kindly and some of them told me welcome home brother
Liberia was founded by african americans . so you are essentially back home
Me personally I don't trust them and could never marry an African be safe and careful my Black American brotha.
PASS THE WORD. The worse thing to ever happened to Africa is Muhammad, Jesus, Islam and Christianity all was used by Arab and European conquerors to enslave the bodies, minds, and souls of African black peoples, and we have yet to recover from it as African peoples. Give these Arabs back their Muhammad and Islam and give back these Europeans their Jesus and Christianity. LET'S RECLAIM OUR TRUE AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY, FOR SUCH IS OUR FIRST TRUE STEP TOWARDS REVOLUTIONARY TOTAL LIBERATION PASS THE WORD.

Im concerned about this issue. I see many videos now trying to create division between our people
I'm an African-American from Texas. I have love for any of my brothas and sistas around the world. I could care less about who doesn't like me. I feel that we have much to learn from each other. We have to unite. They divided us to conquer us. They only way they can be more powerful than us, is for them to keep us divided. Don't believe what u see from western media, we have people that look like us, that are paid puppets. We love out brothas and sistas in Africa. I'm willing to give my life for the betterment of our people.
I don’t hate my people. Much love from the U.S.
Well done, I respect what you had to say, and it's appreciated. I'm African American and will visit more countries on the continent with my family soon. I'll remember your advice.
I pray God to never meet u in my country. Just saying.
Zack I have been watching your videos religiously for a least a year now. I think this is my very first comment. You make a lot of very good points about this issue as usual.
First of all I am 1000% for unity of all black/African people. Whether you live in the continent of Africa, I am somewhere in the Caribbean, Brazil, the US, Europe we are all the same. And we came from the same tree. If the person genuinely want to have a bond with his or her roots we should welcome that person with open arms.
The issue that has kept us divided is ignorance which is one of the effects of slavery, and colonization.
The ignorance isn't bitn out of slavery and colonization. That is a crutch. It's borne out of wilfully not making any effort to learn about others outside one's community
When Africans were trafficked into the Trans Atlantic slave trade, they left behind their mothers, fathers, spouses, children never to see them again. The us verses them claim is devoid of reason, because someone in Gambia, Benin, Ivory Coast, Cameroon has ancestors who were buried in Africa and America broken hearted.
U don't know if they left family behind they all could have got sold off or killed off.
@@brotherkareem181 Your comment is text book fallacy-hypothesis contrary to fact. In short it's based upon speculation or 'what ifs', not facts.
@@brotherkareem181 everyone came from someone. There's no way an entire family is sold off.
@@brotherkareem181is that why all African Americans/Caribbeans have African DNA relatives? Especially Igbo.. every enslaved person had family left behind.
@@brotherkareem181what sort of low reasoning is this? There's absolutely no way that whole families were STOLEN/KIDNAPPED.
When will we understand we are one people if you have African Ancestry. We must stop generalizing each other. There is good and bad in every race. Judge people on how they treat you personally. As an African American I have so much love for all black people. If I meet bad black people I don't interact with them. If you are kind and compassionate then I can relate.
I'm not trying to generalize, but I have seen more hatred and desire for separation coming from Black Americans. Africans who say that we are the same people are quickly reprimanded by certain black Americans who accuse them of having stolen their opportunity in the United States on the networks. I experienced discrimination in the United States during my short stay there (Luckily, I met more black Americans who didn't hate me and some are still friends with me).
But even on the networks, you will especially see certain Black Americans despising Africans. Coming from French-speaking Africa where black Americans are enormously appreciated and defended when there are debates with white French speakers, I was really surprised to see the hatred of black Americans or blacks in general towards Africans when I I started learning English to watch videos. linked to the United States. A few years ago, in most of the West Indies, they completely forbade their children from marrying Africans. Haitians are the black descendants I have seen appreciate Africans the most and loudly declare that they are proud of their African roots (including Brazilians).
But this is only my experience and I am not generalizing except that the internet is full of videos of hatred towards Africans. But I really share your point of view and thank you for having a mentality of unity rather than division because the ignorant (blacks in general) who get carried away by hatred have not yet understood that unity makes force and that division helps us remain forever socially inferior, serving the interests of those who do not like us. Have a nice day/evening

I’ve been to the continent before twice and had a pretty decent time in regards of their culture and personality. Sure no one is perfect no matter where we’re from on this earth but my experience was pleasant. NOW! There’s something going on with Africans I encountered here in the US. I really believe they’re somehow hand picked of whom not only comes but foreigners the US allows to stay. I’m speaking the truth when I say I’ve experienced around 90% of Africans regardless of country with distance and quite rude personalities. I even had one to categorize us BA and I’ve never met him before. We’ve been called lazy, told it’s none of your business, middle finger etc and no it wasn’t anything I or anything someone done to warrant that treatment. And I say to myself we as black Americans paid the way for them, why the pushback?! Not all I mentioned bc I socialize with a lovely Kenya woman at the gym but again there’s something strange going on with how the ones who’s here have such disgusting attitudes.
My best friend for almost 20 years is African. They didn’t know I was American at first and they use to talk really bad about us in their gatherings. We had the African booty a scratcher jokes back in the day and that didn’t sit well with the Africans. I personally don’t have anything against them and would love for us all to come together and be on code💯✊🏾
How is calling someone a booty scratcher a joke? That's akin to white people calling y'all monkeys.
Love and support from Amhara Ethiopia 🇪🇹❤️🔥
This conversation is important and the more we have it the more we will be able to close the gap. We as Black Americans want to be accepted but I think we need to remember that when we go to the continent that some people are so busy trying to survive that they don’t have the emotional capacity to even recognize that we are diasporans returning home. They just see someone that can buy a Zanzibar pizza and they want to sell it to you.
& Why Would Black-Americans Want To Be #ACCEPTED BY 3RD-WORLD-AFRICANS????🤔 When It Doesn't Actually Benefit "Black Americans" In Anyyyy Way At Allll It (ONLY) "BENEFITS #AFRICAN #IMMIGRANTS"...So when ppl say this nonsense u actually just make "Black-Americans" look & sound like we're sooo weak, desperate, pathetic, & thirsty. When we're (NOT) bc why would Black Americans living in a 1st-World Country already really need to BEGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! "3RD-WORLD-PPL" FOR ACCEPTANCE?????...MAKE IT MAKE SENSE?????🤔 Bc Black-Americans, Africans, Caribbeans, & Afro-Latinos, also are actually allll totally different ethnicities, lineages, & cultures, of ppl. With totally "different & separate" histories, backrounds, cultures, lingo, music, foods, religion, ethnicity, Ect...So Nooooo we have nothing in common with African ppl at all & "Black-Americans" actually (DON'T) even have anyyy African relatives at Alllll TBH.
So Nooooo we definitely "DON'T NEED #ACCEPTANCE FROM AFRICANS" bc we are actually "Black-American-Citizens" that can never be dep0rted from "American"...But African, Caribbean, & Afro-Latino, Immigrants, can allll be "DEP0RTED FROM AMERICAN" that's the difference...So get some self-esteem & QUIT #BEGGING "3RD-WORLD-PPL" FOR "ACCEPTANCE" SMH BC BLACK-AMERICANS ACTUALLY DON'T BENEFIT FROM AFRICANS AT AIIII...THEY (ONLY) BENEFIT OFF OF #TETHERING ONTO BLACK-AMERICANS HISTORY, CIVIL-RIGHTS-MOVEMENT, FIGHT, BENEFITS, & ACCOMPLISHMENTS. & OFF OF OUR MUSIC, HBCU'S, SOUL FOOD, & OFF BLACK-AMERICANS WHOLE-IDENTITY, HISTORY, & CULTURE, IN AMERICA...THAT BLACK-AMERICANS ALSO HAD TO FIGHT!!!!!!!
& DIE!!!!!! FOR ALONE.
& AII BC #AFRICA DECIDED TO "SELL-OUT!!!!!!! THE WHOLE CONTINENT OF AFRICA" INTO #SLAVERY FOR "SHINY-TRINKETS"...SMH🤦 SO NOOOO "BLACK-AMERICANS NEVER NEEDED AFRICAN-PPLS ACCEPTANCE" AT AIIIII TBH.
@jaymarcase9737 it’s not just that these store traders are tryna make a honest buck. If you were in their shoes would you sell that pizza at same price your neighbor can afford. No. You would sell at best price you can get. Market economics. If you don’t like it try price haggling but don’t get offended or take it personally.
@@originalceo the issue is that it boils down to fairness. If you sell a Pizza to someone for $5 and I’m next in line and have to pay $15 due to the vendor’s preconceived notions, it’ll come off as unfair. The motivations are understandable but the prospective customer has every right to feel slighted.
Zack, thanks so much for enlightening us on customs and traditions. I glad you broke it down for us so we leave with a greater understanding. Thanks so much, brother.--Carly from Los Angeles, CA USA
I remember a part of Richard Pryor’s stand up act when he talked about his visit to Africa. He said being in Africa as a black man was how white folks must feel like in America…relaxed. Of course it was comedy, but I fell out. 🤣
This is the best message I have heard in a long time about blacks understanding each other from their spaces and where they live. We are all black but we are still very different. Thank you my brother from another mother. Good word.
You are right. I’m from Papua New Guinea and when I moved to Australia, I made it an effort to never change my roots and culture.
It’s done me well so far.
Thank you brother for putting this informative information out there. 🙏🏾👍🏾👊🏾💜
How do you leave your country and hate other people in their country who are trying to make it better
Simple, they're not us. That was indicative of the slave trade. It's sad because they parrot the same stereotypes that racist yt folk do
In the same way, you sell them for money. Many Africans who travel to America are willing to collaborate with negatives that further marginalized black American to be accepted and validated by white Americans
Hate who its y’all who show us hate and run ur mouths ignorantly about us and even go as far as trying to bully us yall are the problem
Black americans are NOT trying to make African people life better in America. They have insulted and persecuted African people for decades. They are not making white people life better either.
@realpillvintage628
He did say not All Africans dislike AA. There are more love towards our AA brothers/sisters from Africans than there is dislike. Same goes to AA disliking Africans. However, I believe there are more love than dislike.
There’s dislike everywhere, even within close relatives. Our sole duty is to unite, cheer, encourage, and support one another.
Thanks for explaining that because I’m sure people need to hear. I love my people no matter where they are💜
I don't know how you do it Zack, but brilliant broadcast. You manage to simply you answer and it make sense. That's true what you said about Africans. However other African Americans have a condensating attitude towards us when they land in Africa.
And y’all have the same attitudes when you come to America!! And it’s beyond offensive bc if it wasn’t for us you wouldn’t even be able to come over here!! That’s a fact , the civil rights bill made it possible for you to come over here to America !! Bc America damn sure wasn’t letting immigrants that look like y’all come over here before 1965!!
Well, we wouldn't come to that develish country if they were not killing our people and our leaders and hiring puppets as our leaders to keep on extracting natural resources that we Africans have go underground where some get buried there digging them up.
We don't care about that silly ass country that is about to go to war. Leave our resources that give you jobs, phones, cars, and fast internet and all that development alone then you can keep your country and we won't come there
You are funny Prof. Zack,😂 unda de blood.🇯🇲 Very good content, the transparency and clarity of today’s content was wonderful, and the words used were on point. 1❤
My advice is, never accept the first price they give you. Often, they expect you to ask for a discount so they raise the price.
That'd exactly right. As a resident of Tanzania my Kenyan wife also got that treatment because her Swahili is audibly Kenyan and Kenya has a higher currency. So i never tripped out about that. They also need to different prices for foreigners to control inflation. I hope that sweet looking girl that he is refering to learns Swahili and comes back. The people are quite welcoming once you can connect worth them.
I always ask for a discount in these markets in Africa😂
Well said my brother. Respect!
You are so right, I am from Detroit... and nobody is waiting to welcome you... Actually, there are many similarities between Detroit and any City... in any African country. Giving me a little more insight into the behaviors you described. Much Love from Detroit! 🥰
Greda, i think its the image of er... Maya angelou in the african continent that folk have in mind and how she was greeted there. i don't blame folk for thinking they'd be welcomed with open arms.
@@PHlophe Hmmmm... not Maya Angelou... maybe for those over 70 years of age. I do remember how Muhammed Ali was welcomed and that left an impression. I also remember first learning about Patrice Lumumba... I think, we in the USA incorrectly assumed the Leaders of former colonies in Africa were fighting oppression.. It is a "bummer" that so many are complicit...
Same occurs here...
I love your analysis ❤ you spoke the absolute truth.
I'm an African American who been to several African countries, and it like home on in each one
Zack you are so intelligent my brother thank you so much . your thinking is electrical, magnetic, properly synchronized and digital 😂
Am Nigerian, I can assure you we over here don't even notice it, we are so diverse that we can easily assume any African in Nigeria could easily be from any region, I see no hate against any diasporan. All blacks are welcome, just don't expect special treatment from any one. Just blend in and fall in line simple
That's true.
Thank you for tackling this sensitive subject. One love. Africa unite❤
those lies are planted by the enemy to divide, and conquor. i am African American and i have mostly African friends, and i love them, and i know the African Brothers love me, also
I would rather use the word,'like' instead of love.

We Love Africa Nation put our money together an Build something is what we should be doing 🖤
I appreciate your analysis of the misperceptions we have about each other. Excellent! 😊❤
The 'Muzungu price' phenomenon is not unique to Africa, it takes place everywhere in the world & is unique to the informal business (flee-market) sector. I encountered the same thing at flee-markets in France, the US, Germany, Italy & Greece, Russia, China etc. Of course, it will appear as if its an 'African thing' because businesses in most African countries are largely informal, from taxis to accommodation, food, clothing & virtually everything as opposed to business in the West which is overwhelmingly formal & owned by corporations.
@controversial1994 💯💯🎯🎯 exactly ….. these people running up and down this internet shouting about scam this scam that 😅😅😅😅 simple market economies.

Laziness refers to having Asians profit off your people. Laziness refers to having your people sold off everywhere apparently. Laziness refers to reaching out for protection from everyone else rather than standing strong with your people.

It sounds like black culture has the same roots. For example, if one of you come to visit me at dinner time and I made a pot of food, I will share it with you (your own plate). You will not go hungry. When I visited YT friends in Europe at dinner time, I thought it strange and rude that they do not offer you to join them for dinner. Not that everyone is this way, but majority seemed to eat separately.
This is a great video! My wife and I have plans to visit Africa one day when it’s financially feasible for us. We don’t know what country, but we have time to figure it out.
Awesome!!! Absolutely very well analyzed & Thanks for all of your deduction…
It pains me to hear such a statement. I am a Ghanaian living in Germany now. How I wish to have my relatives from America, as Friends or Relatives in Ghana. Please remove the negative thoughts because we love you all. Enjoy Africa to the fullest.
I lived in Germany off and on from 2001 until 2016. Africans did not congregate with Africans from American. I don’t know how it is now but they were so jealous of us. That’s not our issue that’s their issue.🤷🏿
Why will an African be jealous of u people. US government statistics says 80 percent of u cant pass BASIC high school math. U think people are jealous of your shoes and clothes? pathetics.

Zack, good explanation. Thanks. Zambia
I am so glad you touch on this topic it happen in Caribbean also . We from diaspora have to pay more for goods and service , sometimes went I visit back home my country (Jamaica) I have to allow my family that living in Jamaica to do all the talking in order to get the local price 😂
I don’t ever look at any differences because there so many similarities I love that you brought this subject matter to forefront so we aren’t hiding feelings but clarification that produces love that are same the heathens could only temporarily sever our customs and heritage I grew up in the diaspora amerikkk and I was disciplined by any melanated person who saw me doing something wrong and if they see your parents and tell them you were doing you are gonna get disciplined I grew up in Los Angeles California but these customs were brought from the South like my people who were from Mississippi and all the melanated people in the diaspora kept the traditions Shalom ACH Zack
@eddixon9730. The custom ( culture) you grew up in whilst in the Southern states is embodied in the adage " it takes a village to raise a child ". Hence the inherent respect for all seniors by African youth. You usually get respect according to how the perceives you in relation to them; Mother/Father/brother / sister/ aunty/ uncle. Sadly, colonial influence damaged but did not erase this perspective. Zack is on point.
Thank you for this video. Please allow me to make a comment. Obviously, I am omuzungu from the US. The only other country I have been to is the pearl of Africa, Uganda. I am in love with Uganda because of its natural beauty and climate. Also because of how wonderful and welcoming the Ugandan people are: I love Uganda so much that I found and married my beautiful bride there in Buganda. When it comes to acceptance, I don't think it is completely a color, or nationality, thing. I am a natural American citizen who has never felt welcome here in America, and I'm white! However, the people of Uganda, and especially my new family there, have welcomed me with open arms, hearts, and no pretense. Again I say that I love Uganda, and it looks like I will be immigrating there, and I am so excited about the opportunity to visit all of the EAC.
Jacob, you kind of look spicy white though ? instead of full Umlungu .which of your parent is mixed .
Thank you for being kind with your words. I tell people of all cultures and races to travel to other countries and see their culture because we are not all the same. It is a learning curve for some of us.
BP globally do not have the luxury to bicker about who is the better Blk person. While groups are gathering resources and building greater wealth and a legacy for their families, people want to discuss which blk group is the worst (which serves as a distraction) I don't understand people with that type of smallminded mindset.
Brother it is a good thing you are keeping it Real. from Both Sides. The Truth is a lot of Black Americans and Caribbeans have been taking advantage of by Africans. Some of been un-alived. Much work to be done.
Thank you for this message 🙏🏽
Yes I eat lots of authentic West African delicious meals, mainly Togolese food, but my awareness of self and the love for my people started way back when I first saw the movie Roots... That movie woke up the hidden warrior inside of me, from that time the ancestors have guided my steps...
That’s true! When I went to Africa they were calling me colored boy. I said no I’m African and they laughed at me. It is what it is. I’m not tripping anymore.

Black Americans, Africans and CaribbeanS DO NOT agree on a common enemy, we DO NOT share a common culture, we have distinctly different perspectives which is why we can easily identify that someone is foreign in our native country.

I remember a time I was so naive, I use to think Black American and Africans were the same people just happened to be in two different places bc of slavery… I’m also from Chicago and there is a big African community on the north side of Chicago… and my girl cousins have a history of dating the African men… I remember one time we were hanging out and I mention something about Africans and African Americans people being the same people… you would’ve thought I called that man out his name… he was so offended that I made a suggestion that Africans and African Americans were the same people.. I was so confused I didn’t understand why he became so offended… he even said that African Americans are not African… I was flabbergasted.. he told me that African doesn’t look at African American as their own.. he said Africans viewed us as white people LMAO I let him know that MOST African American have over 75% of African blood.. keep in mind this was someone I had hung out with several times, he was dating my cousin who was a African American woman, and I had no idea he felt this way about us… I did my research on the relationship between African Americans & Africans and I discovered that most Africans carried these sentiments.
Alot of African Americans with over 90% African DNA. For example, Shannon Sharpe. Slave trade lasted til 1800s. However, a lot of them even here in the U.S. like to put down East African looking men because they love East African looking women. In South Africa they love, except, and respect Tyla who’s colored but won’t colored men. Even here in the states if you’re a lighter skin male celebrity you’re very attractive. But, if your middle class your below average. This is only the case in communities around white people where black people look to them for support. Also, white nobility finds East African women more attractive. Megan Markel for example.
I’m a normal white person and I understand that Europeans are better than Americans better culture better manners better education pure bloods are better better than mixed up people blackflies continental Africans are better than you

Yo I really don’t like this subject. It is divisive and honestly I don’t find it real. I have always had friends from the continent growing up and in my adult life I have met wonderful people from the continent who I still engage with regularly. I think people who think this way are brainwashed by the pale people or are doing out of ignorance or insecurity.
Every topic can’t be divisive. Y’all don’t want any real discussions to be had.
