Shocking: What Ugandan Women Think About Black Americans
Вставка

- In this video, we will ask Ugandan women what they think about African-Americans and white people. This is a fun video, so don't take anything too seriously.
00:00 -- Intro
01:26 -- What do Ugandan women know about African Americans?
05:06 -- Would you date an African-American
09:22 -- What do you think about white people?
The knowledge of African Americans is surprisingly low among young Ugandans (and other Africans) because of shifting media consumption patterns. 10+ years ago, young Africans were obsessed with black American culture because of hip hop, etc. But now this has shifted to Nigerian, South African, and Jamaican culture because of the music. In Uganda especially, people will usually imitate Jamaican English when trying to sound "cool" and sometimes a Caribbean accent slips out in normal conversation such as here. 3:33
Very good and thorough explanation. I can understand why - The golden age of hip hop, rap and good black music is over in America. The music has stagnated as well as the culture. So it is understandable why the shift has happened. I also think this is a good thing, hip hop videos and movies are not a true reflection of Black Americans. Thanks.
@@thetruthhurts8618 That one is easy, Caribbean men would win all of those.
You went to the wrong place. Go to places like muyenga Munyonyo you will find black Americans who have never been to America 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Synoopy2 Well said. Unfortunately, the powers that be that control media in the U.S. want to keep Black Americans "Dumbed Down" and keep any beneficial or meaningful lyrics/messages from having airplay.
This started back in the 1990s some may feel a little earlier. Too bad, since positive media representation would have helped Black people to feel solidarity and have an overall respectful and positive image of us all in the global scheme of things.
We are not Africans we are The Real Americans
You guys don't even have a lot of history books in Africa and you don't even know when your grandparents was born . So how can you even talk about our history and our history is documented since the beginning of documentation.
You notice how people always adds Africans what do they think the black Americans but they never asked black Americans what they think about Africans??
Because we don't even think about Africans..😂😂😂😂
I’m black here in the US and I liked how more than one of them admitted that they don’t know much about us. Likewise..and that truly is an honest answer. But if I can’t visit African, I do the next best thing by watching videos like this to get a more realistic understanding. It’s better than how the school books and movies depict Africa/Africans
Same here.
You’re a melanin beautiful person. I leave longer comments with links on my community tab.
American so called negroes are varying shades of brown melanin skin tones.
Black is a color that does not define a nationality nor nation of people.
This because no AA descendants were captured from Uganda.
I have been to Lagos Nigeria and I had a great time
You are making an effort to look past the media representation. Africans are NOT doing the same. I look beyond the media to increase my own understanding of the world as well. However I think we must stress that others, in particular Africans, are NOT doing that but at the same time they continue to rant about how they are portrayed in the media. I think it is important to stress that ignorance combined with arrogance is not solely a Western character flaw.
That girl doesn’t even realize that Rihanna is from Barbados and Nicki is Trinidadian.
How will they know
Why does she have to know where they come from they based in the states and thats what made them.its just like you do you also know the celebrities in africa and where they are from.
yea, but Beyonce and Chris brown are from America
They are not ba. That’s like us saying these women from Morocco
@@bobbyschannel349 so does 50% make her point valid and factual?
As a black woman living in the south, my peers in college never took me seriously. It hurt because they were African and i really liked them a lot. Over time we talked and i joined their student organization and they taught me so much and we shared our cultural knowledge and it helped break down a lot of barriers.
You sound crazy.
African act so professional and but they can't do shit.
In America I know where the Asian Bank the Russian Bank latin Bank French Bank Spanish Bank I mean Bank of America if you know the history
But where is the African Bank since they so professional ND alway talking they have rich people in African
But some how some way a African billionaire can't get a Bank licensed in American and Africa
..I call Ed that BS Wake up people!

@@OpinionatedWarrior4FactsToo bad she didn't know that then, because the cultures exchange wasn't even of equal value. 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾
Y WOULD U GIVE 2 DAMNS ABOUT A AFRICAN TAKING U SERIOUS? THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS IN THIER OWN COUNTRY.
WHAT DO U THINK OF THEM FOOL.
I'M Caribbean Myself, but i been living in the USA since I was born . I never had an issue with African or American. We are all black. We just come from different parts of the world . That's the beauty of it . I been to Nigeria, Ghana Durbin. And South Africa .. I'm very big on culture. I'm from the pork and bean projects in Miami. Being hood does not mean shit but struggling.
yes ! someone with a real answer im st lucian and i don't have problems either of them but there is a definetly culture difference
I have been to Miami twice and I admit it I love it down there especially to Black culture down there. I went to Little Haiti and went to chef Creole and bought some griot it was so damn good that I bought two orders and ate it on the same night! Nothing but love for the zoes down there.
Its a big difference those people over there cast us aside long ago now that we have it popping we all black. F race solidarity they have little, we need to disown them like they did us.

Black American culture is the most influential culture in the world. They hate but, you wanna rock the culture.
Who in the world is hating here? lmao you a whole clown crying cause they don’t know you 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone who try’s imitating black American toxic fatherless culture becomes dysfunctional FACTS! 👍🏿Look at the whites and Asians who participate in black American single motherhood culture they become disobedient cussing 24/7 and start referring to the women of their culture as birches and hoes FACTS! 👍🏿

All the whites and Asians who follow black Americans are now completely dysfunctional look at all those Cambodians in cali completely dysfunctional now😂😂 when it’s time to apply for a job nobody wants anything to do with black American rachetness 😂😂😂
I wouldn't expect local Ugandans to know much about us outside of music and movies because we live far away. The same for us here in America. That's even more reason why we should consider traveling to Africa
The internet gives no excuse for such voluntary ignorance.
So many free resources online about everything.
The most famous country and with 1000 million documentary works on audio video and pdf. Ignorance is a luxury black folk can not afford.
Blacks are actually isrealites they're land is isreal as the Hebrews said
These are not Ugandans. Those are Tutsi Rwandese. We dont understand the intention of using 'Uganda'. Its only one interview which was done in Uganda. The rest were done in Rwanda. As if all were told to put on fake hair😂😂😂.
Rwandese Tutsis will never leave Uganda in peace.. so jealousy..
@@salimajagodics6928 that's the biggest benefit of travel : CONTEXT. I see these women and immediately know what's up !
@@markstewartsr8432 Exactly..
As young black woman from Chicago, I’ve been around a diverse range of African people. Africans from different regions of Africa to different age groups. Mostly every African person I’ve met they’ve instantly assume that I am African… and when I tell them I am American they assume that my parents or grandparents are from Africa and they are highly disappointed when I tell them even my grandparents are American lol 😂 literally happens to me all the time and I wonder what do I look like that a African American isn’t supposed to look like or be?? 🤷🏾♀️
They look at me the same way too even randomly walk up and ask me is I'm African but unlike you I don't look at that as a bad thing. I respect and love my roots which many AAs don't.
@@jcthegreat80 no I never said I seen it as a bad thing, just as well as I’ve met people with African roots who are born and raised in other countries like Canada or London for example and they don’t say they’re African they say they’re from the country they were born in. So my point is I know I am American, and there are generations of my family that is American. Yeah I have African ancestors but for the generations of my family that have worked hard, suffered , and had to fight just to be called American, I respect my American roots as well if not more because that’s what I know. Most African American only are able to learn about their African roots by a dna test , yet even still after finding that out it’s not like you know your direct family and just go to Africa talking walking and acting like a American but calling yourself Nigerian. That’s all I am saying…
@@Quinn_Wise1 yea those Africans born in Canada and in Europe look at what their going thru... Canada is looking worse than America in terms of rcism right now. We love America yet America don't give a d... About us. Ain't we the same people that can't even get inch of justice whenever one of us are klled by a wht person? Ain't we the same people that believe in high numbers we deserve reparations and hate crime bills yet can't that neither? But many of us are even pro American. Do you realize that's more like a samp/mmmie, 2nd class citizen than a regular citizen?
@@Quinn_Wise1 we make up a very large population of the prisons mostly because of drug offenses many which are petty drug offenses and we're worked for hard labor harder than other groups. Even at our regular day to day jobs we're expected to work much more harder than other groups even when paid less while whts and even non blks can take it easy and let us do most of the work.
@@jcthegreat80 yea you got it bro .
Ignorance has no borders
we have europnean but thats lke a small percentage most blaque peopled on a plantation had sex with other slaves

Black Americans leads the world in being copied. Love to all the diaspora. We stand with Uganda against the alphabet agenda.
Black America is a failure with what we are shown,70% single motherhood fatherlessness drugs crime and a lack of family structure
Hollywood, music and media.
The majority of people do not copy blk Americans, it’s only very few people who do, and it’s usually those that are interested in rap and the gang lifestyle , but other than that naa bruh!
In Africa, as an African, if you try to act too American (hip hop) people look at you as a lost cause😅..but in a good way.
There are great blk Americans that have actually accomplished groundbreaking things that could have put BA in a better light but the media prefer pushing the G shit lol. It’s cool but only for a very small portion of people that are still young and dumb. Soon as they grow up they abandon it. Some never recover due to the loss of that valuable time.
But it’s changing due to all these agendas that are introduced in the music industry. Rappers wearing dresses and pretending to be pregnant. Africans do not deal with that part
@@youarerightbut5066 Black Americans are the most visible in the diaspora. Blacks in America also moved social justice and rights. Blacks in America made inventions and advancements in medicine. Blacks in America blood was shed and all benefit from our struggle. When we was being lynched in America we got very little help from others in the immigrant class. Put respect on our people. You're Welcome
@@lanceparker4796 Mixed race people whom you call black made most of those inventions.....dont lie....it seems like genetics is a tricky subject for black americans....they even believe that mariah carey is black....LOOOOOOOL

Shoutout to Uganda! Hopefully in time we will learn more about each other and be on CODE! ✊🏿FBA
God 🙏 bless Uganda
Bro get that fba out of here 🤡… pan African or perish . U tribalist
@Mark Stewartsr yes they are still our brothers and sisters no matter how far were apart.
@@keizbreez4463 yes they are beautiful ones at that !
@ Sekhem Montu That Part ! Be on CODE. Black people worldwide need not fear nor hate each other, we need to LEARN each other's cultures and respect them. I especially want to say as a DOS which Jason Black uses to distinguish Black Americans from Black persons from outside the United States.
When Non- DOS/FBA persons do come to the U.S. please brothers and sisters FOLLOW our lead as far as how to carry yourselves and overall conduct, the reason being WE HAVE BEEN in the U.S. for MANY CENTURIES we ARE AMERICANS so we know how things work and how people that are NON- Black persons think in ways you cannot IMAGINE.
I believe many Black Americans feel that Africans from the Continent no matter what country they are coming from, feel that they know our culture and society and how to interact and succeed better than we do, without
realizing that the system has been set up in order to keep us down or continuously KNOCK us down and it takes Hurculean strength of mind, body spirit, and willpower for us to keep finding different ways to survive.
So for All BLACK persons reading this, know that we DO love you, now show us some LOVE by being RESPECTFUL and look at us as your ELDERS since in the U.S. WE ARE your elders and teachers.
I’m proud to be African American 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Ur proud to be black
ME TOO🎉
Why?
@BillThaPill Black is different from African Americsn. All people of African descent are considered Black by yts. But All considered Black come from ethnic groups....which they tend to be proud off.
@@AnonymousC-lm6tc
Why not?
Interesting video! It is true that you don’t know what you don’t know. I have met a few people who were born in Africa. I even took a photo with a guy from Ghana years ago to show his grandparents since they asked about us (black) from the states. Much love to all of our brothers and sisters in Africa and the world! 👊🏾❤️
I'm a white guy and found the comments interesting, reminds me of Irish Americans who are very proud of heritage but the Irish of Ireland be like "you ain't one of us mucker"
Thats gotta be a kick to the nuts for alot of them, like it is hearing africans say your mixed and aint one of us etc, also like to add black and white are Americanism. Africans don't see themselves as black same with Europeans and white, these terms have been exported to english speaking countries and muddled the waters abit with race and stuff because the dynamics and history are very different outside of America.
We must reexamine our self image concept. Multimedia is unbelievably POWERFUL!
Black Americans are the salt of the Earth. What does that mean?? Well just try to eat food without salt added. All the women on here are copying African American women with hair weaves and long finger nails.
Our self image is controlled by the media, Jews owned.
That’s why, when the female rappers portray themselves to be strippers and prostitutes, with their ratchet ghetto behavior, they all say who cares we are just living our lives who is it hurting? The images hurts us all 💯
Alot of african Americans are mixed. That's why when they do ancestry test they tell them to use their maternal search not the paternal as it tends to go back to a white man
Most African Americans are not mixed look at the Gullah geechee literally have 0% European in them on average a black American has 80% African dna I don’t know why there’s a misconception about us being mixed
😀
Majority of African Americans are at least 80% African and up
@@emmanuelervin5035 not true
Are you Jamaican?
As an African American it was interesting to hear the Ugandan’s views about us AA. Overall, they didn’t have anything really negative to say. In fact, Ugandans have a very chill vibe, much respect from 🇺🇸❤
Great job on the interviews, you asked key questions. 💯
Im a black American. I never met a Ugandan but they got some fine Ugandan sistas over there. I aint mad at that. 😍
Interesting I've never met one either!
Just like a black man thinks with your small head
Go to Boston. They even have a restaurant. Even a church.
As a Black in person in America I'll like to add that the vast majority of us identify as Black we don't like the term African American. Our lineages is America and we was not called African American till the 80's so just call us 'Black people in America'
As a Black person also from America, my question, is do Africans in Africa consider themselves Black, cause the Africans here in America sure don't claim their Blackness.
@@mikematerne4579 All about tribes!
@@mikematerne4579biblically so called Africans are descendants of Ham.
American so called negroes are Shemites.
A lot of us do say this, but I am in favor of the term African American over 'black' until we come up with a more fitting ethnonym. black is too 'European matrix' for me. If you really talk to them, especially the racially obsessed non-black people, you feel the ick of using their terms and concepts to define yourself. I want us to break out of their box. It is psychologically critical. 'African American' was our first successful attempt to define ourselves using our own preferred terminology, so I respect it.
We did call ourselves Africans before the 1980s. That is a myth running around the internet.
This would have been really interesting if I could hear it🤷🏾♀️ hopefully you can put another one out for us🤷🏾♀️
Yeah I thought I was tripping 😂
Yes, I thought the same...bad video 😂
I found the documentary interesting. Thank you for sharing ❤
Wow, they really don't know us. Makes sense though
This was authentic. Genuine.
I'm mixed Black and Italian. I've never met a Ugandan woman, but damn Im loving the vibe. Gorgeous women....
Shit - Italians are mixed!
What country you from on "black side"
So good to hear these opinions
Interesting. They are all so poorly informed. Yet none are dressed in traditional African style and most do not embrace their natural hair. The one with the blonde braids is completely out of touch.

dang, these are some beautiful people. great video and nice to know that they are aware of the racism outside and on the continent.
Interesting … but sad video for me. We (Africans and people of African descent) seem to know so little about each other. I have visited the Continent myself and experienced this actually on different levels in different places. I feel exposure is the only thing that will dispel the deficits of knowledge and understanding that are apparent. Anyone forming their opinions based on what they see from “entertainment outlets” has a distorted perception. Actually one of the main reasons I wanted to see Africa for myself, and not rely on what someone else told me. One day hopefully this will improve.
Thanks to social media which is bringing us together
@@rob3rt788 YES INDEED!
YES! we must go for ourselves and see. Then do lots of research if you want to live there. Live where ever you want in Africa if it feels alright to you. ❤
African Americans ain't African
Why be sad? Most people don't know about others from other parts of the world
I use to work the African world festival in detroit one of the biggest things I notice about all of us is the total disconnect from all groups and none showing any interest in each other “smh
Cause we ain’t African
we are not all blacks. Many of us are Hebrew and others are not.
@@borngreat-4-life930 Hebrews were black too
@@tretre92 with all those African genotypes but still you deny being African , some people are truly lost ! lol
Yes the Hebrews are black. They are scattered everywhere in the world. GOD will gather us from all the Babylonian countries in the world. We are going to our own land as GOD directed. Yes we are black not all black people are Hebrew Israelites. Many of us are from Moabites, other tribes outside the Hebrew family.
Not knowing isn't shocking. The same thing would probably happen if you went to an urban US city and arbritrarily asked about Uganda. Many wouldn't know about the country or where it even is, much less what do you think about anyone. It's through mass media where people form stereotypes and ideas. Also many folks here still see "Africa" as one big country and don't realize it's a HUGE continent with various nations, peoples, languages, dishes and cultures. US people tend to cross paths with a few groups - Nigerians, Ethiopians, maybe Somalis. Eritreans and Ghanians- if you're in NYC add in Malians mostly in the Bronx.
very deep information thanks for the interviews
You got a nice voice and excellent journalist demeanor. 👏
Thanks!
Tv, movies, and social media has always made American black people the most influential, desired, and misunderstood people on the planet! Our bodies and everything associated with us has always been for sale. Most ethnic groups outside of us want to be like us but do not want to go through what we've been through. Our uniqueness is unmatched!

Facts it's called devide and concur, and it's still working
Technically, we are mixed but not in the way people traditionally think. We are mixed from all areas of the continent in addition to the indigenous peoples that were in America before colonization and some european ancestry. We have to bridge the cultural gap. Thanks for the great content. 😊
Very interesting video Willie....i wish it could go viral and educate the masses.
I wish he could hear what they were sayn volume is to low
It's only Kenyans, Ghanaians and Nigerians that will give you whatever answer you want regarding African Americans. I don't mean this in a condescending way as regards other African countries. I think the reason is simply because these 3 countries I mentioned lean more towards American society.(just my personal opinion)
@Lelky b I agree we see mostly Kenyans, Ghanaians, and Nigerians in the United States I have never met any Ugandans in the U.S.
Seriously it would be fair asking both Black's nd Mixed these same questions there are mixed people in every African country born nd bred there and if a mixed had to say I only prefer dating mixed race there would be an uproar of insults I bet.
You obviously know nothing about Nigerians. 😂

I would come back, but i'm sure those women want you to take them with you.

Subbed! Much love.
This was a well-made video, I'm glad to see the young ladies are putting some thought into the questions and answering honestly from the heart. The young lady in the coffee shop was honest enough to say she wanted a mixed child since she thought it would be prettier, and most black women in the U.S. and we all KNOW somebody, will NOT admit to this. Unfortunately, COLORISM is still alive and well in the U.S.
Keep these videos coming, @Willie Fungo all the best to you and the beautiful ladies on the video.
Thanks for your comment
So when white women say they want mixed babies what do you call that? It has nothing to do with colorism, it's a preference. The majority of the women interviewed will not date a white man. All will prefer a rich Ugandan man if given the chance.
Black American women prefer black men. No matter where he is from. Just as long as he is not broke. And most black women would rather be single than date outside.
I agree, Colorism is really bad here in America
Most blk ppl prefer other blk ppl. It is the promotion of mixing in the media that makes it appear to be something else. Thats why they are promoting it so desperately, they are trying to FORCE mixing. Blk ppl in the south are literally the reason Blk pride is trending globally and why yt ppl are now perming their hair for curls. U dont get movements like that where blk unity and blk pride dont exist! Pay attention to how they r trying to smear our efforts! None of it is an accident! Get the youth away from yt media!!!!
They are mostly unaware...It's not their fault. They have been misinformed just as most Black people all across the globe. I am Black, and born in America. My girlfriend was born in UG. We get along great...I was happy to see that all of these girls, except two would choose a Black man over the other option, be it Ugandan or African American. We are largely the same, only minor cultural differences. If you ask most African American girls the same questions, many would give uninformed answers as well. However, I'm almost certain at least 90% would say they strictly date Black men. Mainly because of the history that Blacks have in America with Europeans.
The ignorance was deep and only surpassed by the misinformation through TikTokery and colonized minds.
This is true, because of our history we see whites differently. I think we expect Africans to feel the same way we do, but the history of racism is not there. The exposure to racism is not there. The average African is also not as wealthy as the average Black American. It is interesting that she said white men go after the darkest skinned Africans. Must be a contrast thing.
You sound like an immigrant

@@elietahari7290 bw? WTF does that even mean lol
This is an interesting video and pretty much confirms my belief on how media is shaping people’s perceptions about Black Americans globally and really Vice versa here in the states.
For example, most of not all the Women you interviewed have the belief that African Americans are mixed based on the media. While technically, we do generally have various percentages of European admixture due to the sexual exploitation of chattel slavery, for the general African American just going off phenotype you wouldn’t be able to tell because we are genetically predominantly West and West Central African. Of course this depends on the individual.
But because lighter skin people are overly represented especially Lighter skin and biracial Women are overly represented as Black American in tv,film and especially music I understand why they’ve come to this uneducated conclusion.
Also, thought it was funny that when the Uganda sista named 3 celebrities, 2 out of 3 were Caribbean( Nicki Minaj and Rhianna).
Good video nonetheless
Did you really need this video to confirm that media influences people?😅

They can down play it if they want but we all know the truth! African Americans and Africans need to have a conversation! We need to talk about where we are and where we need to be!

You should ask them in a local language like Luganda for more clarity. Some were clearly struggling to articulate their thoughts in English.
Also: "African Americans" vs "Black Americans" is confusing to most who might not recognize that this refers to the same group of people.
No, they do not! We ALL are not the same. We ALL are from the motherland, but we are not the same.
I took my Guinea African woman to a "black American" museum in Hammond LA and to look at the inventions that we ( AA ) created and every time she mentioned "Africnas" did that & woow. I had to correct her , "no African Americans" did that.
I'll give you a clue most AA have no clue what they are , where they came from and no clue as to what "Africa" is nor any knowledge of Africa. And yes I used to live in Africa and was married in Africa to a African woman. AA have contribute a lot to world more than most Africans.
@04:07 I agreed with this. I Identify as African louisiana creole & my parents are black but b4 that my grandparents are mixed. I found out in central Africa I'm really not considered "black".
Even my S.Afrcian friends I used to hang out in Malabo Guinea Equatorial told me the same and label me as "Colored" , but here in the US I'm just black. I'm pretty sure the same would be said if I go to Uganda
I consider a fake black by African standards.Even others in my family who are married to "Africans" male|female do not see us as Africans. Just want to point this out.
I will always identify as creole and then second "American", but I'm not African. Study that and then you will understand.
I'll leave you with them, I'm so grateful to be a AFRICAN American.
;)
African American is a political hijack and another attempt to delete our actual lineage as being indigenous to the Americas, the majority of both Black Americans and Caribbean's don't have lineage to enslaved Africans brought to the Americas, very few do
I am Plainfield, New Jersey born and raised! I call myself Black American, because I was born in America, and I am Brown skinned. We are a diverse and beautiful people, and I am proud of that! Black is Beautiful, and Black Lives Matter! 💚🖤❤️🙏🏿🙌🏿👏🏿💪🏿👍🏿✊🏿👊🏿
man the backdrop of the landscape in many of these cities in Africa is amazing to me. Such a warm vibe to them. Makes the cities feel cozy.
You notice how people always ask Africans what do they think the black Americans but they never asked black Americans what they think about Africans??
Because we don't even think about Africans..😂😂😂😂
SO TRUE! I guess we really are those top people
that doesn't make sense...because it's African Americans asking what Africans think about them...which means they DO think about Africans...Africans aren't asking Black Americans what they think of Africans...no one in this video really had an opinion because they aren't thinking about Americans...yet an American traveled to Africa to ask them about Americans...
@@marcblair3781 willie fungo is NOT African American lol nice try tho
Except for those fake Muslim names and dashikis and dreads and braids but that’s ok. Cope
@@sunjitsingh4547dreads and braids are not African and we don’t wear dashikis
Thank you Willie for asking really good questions that exemplify the colonized education systems of east Africa. In my experience in Uganda, they are one of the least educate people groups on earth, with a global rating at the bottom. They are also one of the least traveled and therefore under exposed groups.
The universities offer little educational value according to the dozens of graduates I've lived with and visited over the years. You will get I'll informed answers and TikTok based responses.
That has changed correct? They now provide free schooling for children. It just takes time for the generations to catch up.
@@lennylink8772 I was there this year and the universities are inadequate, rife with corruption, constantly graduating students incapable of functioning in real world careers, producing high rates of pregnant and unwed mothers.
The citizens are fooled into spending the bulk of their income on educations that have little benefit.
College in Uganda is a hustle.
This opinion comes from countless interviews across the entire country over my years of experience
@@markstewartsr8432 EVEREY college "INSTITUTION" and every other "INSTITUTION" (Peep the word) is a hustle.
@ Mark Stewartsr Thank you for sharing, I suspected as much by the way they answered they have very limited information and POSSIBLY ZERO interaction with Black Americans. Just think how much they could accomplish and achieve with better schooling these women in my opinion seem to be innately very intelligent, unfortunately in the U.S. we have access to better schools most states have FREE libraries where you can take books out free of charge to read and yet our people feel that learning ends with school and they as a group DON'T ENJOY reading for pleasure.
It's sad how we don't have more independent thinkers like yourself, way too many FOLLOWERS that agree with anything that sounds cutesy and popular, Most people are used to putting junk food in their bodies and garbage
in their minds instead of something nourishing that will build them up.
@@patandersen4271 true! As I've indicated, after interviewing and living with the people, I've come to discover that they don't even have a CULTURE of reading ( RWANDA ). Libraries are filled with poorly chosen books in poor condition and the system of colonization weaponized the education system to maintain a subjugated class of people.
East African people, by their own admission, are some of the least traveled and by design most exploited people on earth.
Interviewing random girls on the streets of Kampala will only render UA-cam content that's slightly entertaining... you won't get balanced views based on objective research . But you may get some comment like subscribes. #ugowillie
Very entertaining video.
Interesting content fun to watch !
The last lady is very very smart.❤❤❤❤
6:59 great video crazy how little African & African American know about each other
It's not really that crazy when you thinl about it especially considering how diverse the continent itself is, and then the various Black Ethnicities around the world are. I bet you if you were to ask different black ethnicities even within the same continents about each other, it would be similar or even worse about how little is known of each other. Like if you were to ask all these same ladies about Ashanti people or go ask A bunch of Xhosas about Habeshas in Ethiopia they would probably know very little of each other. Now if you asked a bunch of African American/ADOS about Afro-Mexicans or asked us about Afro-Chileans it would be the same thing. Whats even worse is there is an Federally Recognized Indigineous Tribe In Mexico (Moscogos) who are ADOS Descendants and even celebrate Juneteenth (in Mexico) that hardly any African Americans/ADOS ever even heard of before.
This is very interesting
This video is very informative
Great 👍🏿 Video!!! MUCH LOVE 🖤🖤🖤 TO AFRICA FROM 🖤 AMERICA!!! 🇺🇸
I am a Foundational Black American. You are inspiring me to come up with my own content to ask Black American women what they think about Ugandan women. They are all beautiful. I even bought an Ugandan flag. I support your rights to keep the Ugandan family together. Oh, and that girl in the blue and white dress, get her information, I want to bring her to the States now. Fr Fr.
😂
Most people in general don't know much about Uganda to have anything to say about their women.
@aiginyes.
What is foundational black American? Is this something new? I know about the native Americans. Blacks in America have ethnic roots deep in Africa. Most of your last names are from slave owners. To disguise your true identity.
dude good comments, but i'm sorry to tell you FBA is a scam
@@1maggotbrain
Thanks for letting me know.
This world is just following anyone who they can manipulate and control for status, leadership or financial gain. Smooth talking pimps
Wow this was really telling.
This is why I will never accept the words “African American” we are nothing like them No Shade 💯
Beautiful accents. ❤ Beautiful women.
We are not just "Black" and "White". We are Copper Complected Amerindians.
Your just black regular black 👍🏿 with a fake pretender Indian identity
Which makes u mixed Blavk/indian, Go to RSA , ZIMBABWE, MALAWI, ZAMBIA, BOTSWANA, MOZAMBIQUE INFACT WORLD OVER SEE THE MIXED THEY COME IN ALL DIFFERENT SHADES ND HAIR TEXTURES maybe than it will be clearer or do people just act ignorant for their own selfish reasons bc seriously by this century people should know these things. OK The American soldiers nd many other African soldiers who had children in Phillipins, nd all war zones baby's were born all in different skin tones etc. See Madagascar children Indian nd Black , SIDDIS am surprised people want to pretend nd act ignorant.
I'm a golden color with copper skin African European MesoAmerican Western Asian woman😊
Das Right
All the black Americans who argue that biracials are black I always tell them they wouldnt be seen as black in Africa.
For them to pick the American men over their own men says that they don’t know anything about black Americans 💯🤣🤣
Listen! I’m like baby you have been led-astray!!
Right…. You know what… never mind. My ex husband is a Caribbean. Maybe I’ll seriously try my own now. It’s got to be better.
White men the colonizers of the world are nice and their character?? Hilarious interview from some of these interviewees
Almost like it's the modern era and people aren't responsible for the actions of others. I guess you have to keep that victimhood gravy train going though
I get that a lot of Africans prefer to love their captors. Africans in America were enslaved. Uganda and many other countries in Africa were colonized. The differences are minor. Africa allowed European nations to send a minority of soldiers to Africa and they took control of countries with a majority race and kept them impoverished raped the continent of its valuable resources, paying off those same elders that sold other Africans into enslavement to America. Even with the end of colonization, the rape continues and you still have African women who want will have a baby with a white man because if she has to have a little black baby, the lighter the better. Any black man, American or African will never be good enough until she fails to get a white man.
You should understand context is very important Madam
Right ..Whiteman the reason they speak English but you can’t tell them nothing 😂
So for you all the white people are bad?
This doesn’t offend me bc they just don’t know just like I don’t know nothing about them so I’m not mad I actually enjoyed this. ❤ I love u Uganda 🇺🇬 ❤
Good God some people are so lost.
It absolutely shouldn't. Most Black Americans cant even name an african nation on a map. Utterly stupid.
We don't know anything about them nor do we care about them
Man this was great!! As a carbonated American thank you for your opinion ladies
Really Great video Brotha Willie
They are all being polite!
Their dressing is definitely western influenced!
Their traditional clothes are not worn.
As a Ugandan-American, Ugandans are influenced by more than just the west , especially in regards to fashion. Ugandans normally don’t wear traditional clothing unless it’s a ceremony or a special occasion, but typically they wear casual clothes like how they’re dressed in the video. Ugandans are known for being polite people, but they are also being honest when they say they don’t know because American history, especially black American history is not taught in the schools. Yes they are aware of slavery and the slave trade, but they mainly learn about Ugandan history and British history.
notice the american likker in that ugandan bar
I'm tired of seeing them dress like us in Afro beat
This is hilarious 😅😅😅 the answers got me rolling 😂😂😂😂
When I was little I used to want to leave America and go to Africa but after thinking of all the good and bad things my family before went through in this country I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’m proud to be from this country called America (right now) I’ll fight the good fight in this country for my people till I die. I do but I don’t care what other people think of us. We don’t get along all the time but we will and deep down inside we do love each other. It just tough love.
True. We don't know each other. That's the way Europeans want it. 🇺🇬🇺🇸
Lol what? It was Africans that literally sold them to foreigners hundreds of years ago and how do white Americans today prevent Africans on the continent of Africa from learning more about them??
we need to learn more about each other.... with so many countries within the African continent, so much history, beauty and the want for us, so called black americans to know our familial history
What are you talking about dude?
AAs we are on Top 🤴🏽
on top of what, the pavement?? lol...ask george.....the only thing thats on top is a white mans knee on your necks...you are no different from africans....
Top of what?? They said they don’t know you 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Maleekthegreat2023 don’t be jealous boy because we up 😂
insightful. It is wise to admit perhaps that those raised within america will be culturally developed according to american environments. Which will harbor alternate values and sentiments, some perhaps so foreign or not akin to native ugandans.
Cool video 🎉
Mixed or not,i prefer my women over here than women in Africa
Good for you 👏🏾👏🏾
😂😂😂 come to West Africa and see African American women with Ghanaian,Nigerian, Senegalese husbands 😂 we be pulling them. West African don't joke
@@malcolmkamara7127 disregard what I said,I was trippin that day,I love all black women no matter where their positioned on the planet.
What's up with the sound?
So fancinating. The stories we tell ourselved right?
The Uganda girl is gourgeous 😊
1.I really appreciate you doing this. It goes to show just how much western media has destroyed our image globally. It does not matter the race or ethnicity of the ppl, if they take in western media they have an obscured view of reality and of Afro Americans.
2.I think it is hilarious that they think that we are all mixed. We are not represented well in the media at all, in any aspect! We fight to be seen on TV and yt media props up biracial ppl instead. We say "ok no we want representation with ppl that look like us!!"! The yt media instead goes and grabs blk immigrants to play as us on TV!!! We really can not win in this country. Also crazy that we uphold Africa with our whole heart in the USA but they think we are Rachael Dolezal!!! LMAO. Interesting that they think that Rhianna is afro american. I can see why they think Nicki is, Her whole swag is afro american.
3. All of these ladies are beautiful and seem pretty cool. I love how u have one from different walks of life. The conservative( blue dress), Ms FABULOUS the orange dress, brown shirt= Ms boujie
And The girl next door = the girl in the blk tee and bucket hat. For any African that doesnt know this is also how Afro Americans Vary. We are all not the same. Add location on top and it will really give u a whole new understanding on who is who!
I really enjoyed this video I would love to have further convos with the girl in the bucket hat, blue dress, and orange dress.
Also when we do get representation in the media for actual black Americans they are always showing the “hood,ghetto” you know the thug/city girls side instead of the urban or suburban side of us.
Our image is never represented well, I hate how everyone thinks we are this blm activist/oppressed people that talks about race 24/7 when that’s the only side they show in the media.
African Americans are certainly misrepresentinh themselves. Half the songs, movies and music videos are about murder, drugs, violence etc. They refer to each other as ni##ers and bit#hes etc then get surprised when people look down on them and think they are all thugs. We must represent ourselves better than that.
I think it depends on who you ask and where they come from. For example, as a South African, I was shocked to hear some of their replies
I also think when they say mixed they mean more so we diáspora africana have none African ancestry through the generations and as a result of the transatlantic slave trade etc…. Also mixed from a tribal aspect as our ancestors were no homogeneous and we are a heterogeneous group in general
Nobody really destroyed our image except black people. We elevate the worst to stardom. Secondly, most black Americans are 30% white.
Division exists at so many levels, sigh
They gave fair and honest answerers based on what they know
Hey thanks for video but the audio towards the start and middle of video wasn't clear .
