    The American media would never show this side of Iraq, let alone the fact that black people live there in harmony. All we see is a war-torn country. Thank you, BDT, for opening our eyes.

      Why would they? The introduction of Europeans into the Americas was in founded in White Supremacy.

    I was surprised to meet Black Chinese working at an Amusement Park in ShenZhen (special economic zone) of China. Called Windows of the World. Dark like me with woolley hair!! They did speak English, Mandarin & their own tribal language. They approached me because I had braids & they did not know how to braid or twist their own hair. 2 males & 1 female about 25-28 yrs old. I had a water bottle and Queen Helene coco butter lotion in my travel bag. Sat each one down individually and braided two and twisted the female's hair. Gorgeous, healthy full heads of hair about shoulder length. I taught the lady how to braid on the spot in 15 mins. A wonderful experience for them, but an eye opening humble experience for ME!! Just friendly, informative and brotherly love all around!! This was amazing!!

      I am a U.S. military retiree (African American) who was deployed to Zakho, Iraq in 1991. I had the opportunity to meet both Kurds and other populations located in the Northern part of the country. Though I don't totally understand the way the women are treated in their society/culture, I found most of those living in the area to be friendly towards myself and other blacks. I did cross paths with a few blacks folks living in the area, but had little to no interaction with them.

      I have a question. What does pan-africanism look like in this context? These black Iraqis are descendants of the Zanj who have been there for at least 1500 years. That’s a very long time and they have assimilated culturally, linguistically, ethnically, religiously and genetically to the region. Do you expect them to wake up one day and have a black African identity? Do you think they should leave Iraq and go to Africa? I’m genuinely curious, what does pan- africanism look like in the context of these people?

      Not all blacks are African. Noah's son Ham and Shem were black. The Descendants of the TRANSATLANTIC slave trade are the descendants of Jacob/Israel/Judah. Our FOREFATHERS fled and migrated into Africa to BLEND IN.
      We are not African. Much love and respect to our African cousins.. much love❣️❣️❣️😍😍.

      The only reason the Arabs stopped slavery is because the West forced them to stop.

    This is beautiful man. I've watched your channel grow from double digits. Proud of the consistency and watching your videos has made the idea of traveling the world seem so much more joyful than I thought it would be. I appreciate you bruh.
    It's beautiful to see us in such different spectrums. Not just us, everyone, but especially us.
