    African Americans need to know about how much we endure throughout the world and support black culture when they travel. This should be a destination for Africans the world over, come and spend some money here, as well as, other Columbian cities that have large black populations.

      Unfortunately, we can't just be American, Colombian, Dominican, or Brazilian we're defined as Black.
      In some places, it's like the "Black" marks as less than, but I'm starting to see the pride. People are obviously always going to see the darker skin, but we've gotta make it a positive thing.

    As a Colombian American I find it hard to believe that so many foreigners don't know about the Afro Colombian population and it's rich cultural contributions to the country's identity.
    Even though I'm not black, I've always admired what my black Colombian brothers have been able to do there in spite of so much adversity. Their social contributions and influencial importance in how they have been able mold Colombia's cultural DNA can not go unsaid.
    I've often noticed that when we (Colombians) meet other Colombians outside of the country, say the USA for example, we just see another Colombian. Rarely does race come to mind.
    But in the USA race seems to be the 1st thing people notice when encountering strangers.
    Don't get me wrong, there is racism in Colombia. Although not to the same degree as you may find in the USA.
    More than anything else, Colombia suffers from socio economic prejudice. Which is in my opinion just as bad. A poor person is heavily discriminated there. This part of Colombian society saddens and frustrates me to no end. It's the main cause of so much conflict and misery there.
    Thank you Ace for shedding light unto the plight of what many people go through there on an everyday basis. Much love hermano ❤

    Also another reason why there are so many black people there is because the Atrato River was one of the original sites for a canal. So blacks were brought there in 1820s to dig the canal Caribbean-Atlantic to Pacific, but during the digging they discover precious gems. The canal was stopped and mining took its place.

As for some of these comments mentioning (Black) Americans not knowing about Black Colombians, the face of Latino communities is white/mixed race, not Black. And historically, Black people in these countries have been pushed into separate areas away from mainstream culture. While we must educate ourselves, from a commercialized and media standpoint, this is why some people were not aware.

    The diaspora is real. From Papua New Guinea/New Caledonia to sands, jungles and plains of Africa.., and on through the Caribbean, Latin American and African American/ Afro-Canadian/European cultures.., our people have a connection and common theme of majesty and resolve that is unmatched in this planet.

    Keep it up @ACE I LOVE content like this. You would think they would keep the Orishas religion from their African ancestors (i.e. Santería, Candomblé, Vodun, etc). I’ve still seen it practiced in Cuba, Panama, Lisboa and Brasil. WE ARE EVERYWHERE. ✊🏾

    Cool video! I do wish their healthcare system improves there, that place is literally sitting on goldmines! The people are golden too 🤩😎 Observation leaves me to assume that women make up a large portion of their town’s population. 🤗😉😁 and it seems so peaceful there too! I loved how he named the other melanin- enriched towns nearby. Our ppl have always been fashion forward! I loved the artful catwalk presentations and the parade of young girls empowering the streets!! Food looked yummy! That hearty laugh Ace gave had me tickled too, he really didn’t know! 😅

      It is far from peaceful my sister. Black and Indigenous people are routinely forced from their lands by guerillas and narcos. There is a lot of violence and the black people of Cali, Buenaventura, Choco etc will tell you. The biggest port in Colombia is in Buenaventura and from there a lot of drugs are export through the Pacific to land in the US, Europe etc. Black people are used as labor along the distribution chain but benefit nothing. As you can see from the housing ,it is pretty clear the central government in Bogota cares not a whole lot about the conditions of black and indigenous folks. Their Vice President is now a black woman and hopefully more resouces get allocated to the poor people and there is also a good portion on non black or non indigenous people who struggle in Colombia. The income inequality is terrible.
