I know exactly what he's saying. It's all about values. Africans have a strong value system that's tied into their culture. Black people do too but other cultures don't see it and a lot of us don't show it. I dated 2 Haitian girls and their parents know already what their own people stand for but I had to show them what time it was with me and I gained their respect. Now when I talk to African or Caribbean women I make sure to flip the script and make them prove what their value system is first instead. Our reputation as black Americans is smeared because all the bad shit is overrepresented in the media.and by how some of us carry ourselves. But we do the same thing sometimes by saying we won't mess with them because they do voodoo when when you get to know them most of them are just a scared of witchcraft as anybody else.
Y'all didn't let my Naija brother talk. What he was trying to say is that he prefers immigrants or children of immigrants because they have similar culture and upbringing and also understand each other's perspective.

Some people are committed to being offended. Don't ask questions if you're not ready for the answer. He came from a different culture and you expect him to like or prefer your own women rather than what he feels familiar with? Should an Algerian also date or like AA women just because he's from Africa or has dark skin? Expecting that of him is hypocritical cause you have a preference, too. Even a lot of you AA men don't prefer your own women. At least he prefers his own. And about copying AA music or style, he's in America, no duh! The whole America has it as pop culture. Asians listen to it, too, so does that mean they should date AA women? He should've not even replied you cause it's obvious you had an agenda. That's why some stay away from the toxicity. The next thing you hear is Africans don't like us. A lot of you already know you're toxic. Can't blame people for staying away.

Respect to the Nigerian brother! I respect his honesty! Why is the dude giving him problems for telling his truth! I’m a black American woman born snd raised … and I hope this brother understands that black American women are not interested in African men either! Brother is right ….

Im not upset at his comments we know what ethnic group of women/men are the most influential/imitated. The problem is when we have some of our own look outside their culture an ethnic group for acceptance by foreigners in our own country? Were to friendly an inviting an were seeing the result of it everyones hand in our culture build platforms of it hbcu's political organizations the list goes on. America's melting pot is detrimental to the black american ethnic group when it comes to self preserving every other ethnic group has their own country not infiltrated by every group of foreigner. Aswell thats a culture thing being welcoming our parents never taught us about distancing ourselves from other ethnic groups or to self preserve so we stuck with this "Were All Black" mentality when clearly is not reciprocated an looked down upon but when its of convenience. As you see he tried to tether onto our reparations claim FOH like the brother said your not black end "flat blackness" an stop attaching everybody to our history and struggle

Projection. From the 2000's African-American men have publicly lambasted and dragged the image of their women, their own reflection, through the mud. They've shouted their preference for everything from latinas, habeshas, caribbeans, africans, and white women who purportedly exhibit some combination of femininity, traditional values, real culture, real hair, fitness/health, and exotic beauty that their women lack. It's just a toxic cesspool of weak, sadistic men and battered women.

even if they bagg him to date he will refuse and there is why : it's no about the african americans but it's about the toxic feminsm mentality that majority of american female have there is no respect for man value that's why alot of dudes don't date americans girls on general regarding their Ethnicity

Search any channel on here and you find more Nigerians men that are marrying AA than those with opinions like him....
Figures do not lie... He is in the minority, plus its a free world and he is entitled to his opinion and we have to respect it
Oh I'm an African, Nigerian UK born black man and all black people irrespective of place of birth share more than DNA with me than not
How can I not like same as me because of few hundred years of separation
That be self hate
The man is irrational. Why so much laughter though? They see Black women as inferior. We talk color but Black is perceived as lacking in status. Generally speaking, they see us through the lens of White people! They admire us on the sneak tip but despise us at the same time! Envy our swag but don't value our humanity! We need to show ourselves more love by the same token! If they don't dig us that's their problem! Some of us are guilty of trying to emulate White people. We're in love with White gangsters!
You don't even live in America.
Nah, he spike for all Nigerian males. They only marry AA women because they think we are desperate and dying for affection. Then they try to abuse us in every way possible. No thanks. Stick to your own, and we will stick to out own.
@@ReallyMaxx Anyway this is a non-issue. Nigerian males marry African women 99% of the time. After that, it's White, then Hispanic. Nigerian males marry Black American women the least.
Figures don't lie???!
What figures? Where did you get those figures?
Hahaha ..lying to save face does not remove from the fact that within the Nigerian community, AA women are undesirables. Even our mothers warn us not to get into any romantic shit with y'all.
They're over talking and won't let him explain himself. We don't listen to your music only, no we don't imitate you. Some of you are so entitled.
“Some of you” ????
Man please…. Thats exactly the attitude and hypocrisy that we were talking about with him in the video. We don’t want to be generalized the same way that yall dont want to be and shouldn’t be. And this is a BARBERSHOP. A real Barbershop. This isnt a production set. This is exactly how conversations go when there’s multiple people talking in a barbershop. That’s why is callied Barbershop Conversations
And no one in the video said that African people listen to our music only. We said that your culture has been heavily influenced by ours so there’s no reason for us to be having negative views about each other
@@talentedmrcj then allow him explain why he said what he said gosh. For real, some of you (diasporans) are so entitled, think the world revolves around America but -let me burst your bubble- Africa is just fine with or without America, your types.
@@talentedmrcj Many of us loved seeing you (black or African American depending on your leanings) guys on TV growing up, thought all was rosy not knowing there's a deep rooted resentment of Africans/ especially Nigerians. I still love anyone that loves me though, will do what I can to assist such persons but some of you should calm down a bit. All love still. Bless
@@Isiejeme0829 he explained what he said what he said. No one stopped him. We aren’t entitled And both yours and his responses proves our point.
He doesn’t go to a African barber b/c they can’t cut hair like our Black American men and women💯💯💯
So what😂😂
They flee their failed country, to come to the country that AAs built, and look down on us. LOL. The nerve.
Show me what yall built. Being used as farm workers does not mean building. If that's the case, mexican farm workers would say they built America
What did you build? What failed country? Most of our countries were colonized. Yll grew up here in America, what is your excuse that horizon is not broadened by now? You guys are deluded, thats why the whole world laughs at you. Im sure you dont even know that USA is not a country it is a commerial haven for anyone and everyone especially the chinese. You are here stuck on what you built.. Your whole existence right now is owned by China. Talking about coming to the country you built. what a joke. I stay away from AAs cos their mental minds are still in primary school stage while the rest of the world has graduated and still searching the world. What kind of ppl's legacy is based on victimhood?
People migrate all the time since the beginning of time. If you had a passport you would understand that. Not everyone is taken captive and brought to another land. Some of us are actually nomads and the world is our oyster. All you guys are doing is projecting your own traumatic emotions. I hope you all heal. This video confirms what i already know about AAs there is deep mental traumatic issue about your mental outlook of the world. I personally just avoid yll, that way i dont take in that negative energy.
So why ask him his opinion if they're not ready for his response. That's his preference.
@Abdi Warsame 4 Life delusional is an understatement.
Most black American don’t come from Nigeria or west Africa, but most of them came from Angola 🇦🇴 and Drc Congo I don’t why they are so associated with west African
Wild and disorderly. Baby mama issue
Respect to the Nigerian brother! I respect his honesty!
Why is the dude giving him problems for telling his truth!
I’m a black American woman born snd raised … and I hope this brother understands that black American women are not interested in African men either!
Brother is right …. There is a major difference in the black American and African cultures!
Actually … we have very little in common! Very little!
And the American brother was right …. Africans (and Caribbeans, Middle Eastern, European) emulate our culture!
There is nothing wrong with wanting to marry your own!
Immigrants should remember this when we don’t want to mix with you! 🤷🏽♀️
And what's your culture exactly?
Oh and yes, AA women are interested in Nigerian men.
Y'all even encouraging each other that we are better options to your AA men and that sistas not interested in swirling should look at Nigeria men who happen to be very cultured , conservative , well educated and family oriented.
Problem is, most Nigerian men and their families don't want to be caught up in the blk American bubble. .
Tell that to thousands of your women running to Arica to look for men
Speak for ownself. Y’all really be on UA-cam CAPPING YALL ASS OFF! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was born in the USA and my fathers side is Nigerian Yoruba girl shut the hell up. Who hurt you?! 😂😂💔
@@plantiron don’t listen to someone that doesn’t even have a profile pic, she probably looks like a balled up chewed up piece of gum 😂 that’s been trampled over
They emulate thr negative part pf your culture. These saggy pants, trap garbage, music and all that. If thats what you call culture. I wish africans could emulate the positive part of BA culture but that is not shown on media. BA music now is not what it was in the 90s or before. I do not even know what to call it now
Chiiiileeee…. So much miseducation.
I think he's absolutely allowed his opinion. I don't date African males. I will never be used for a green card nor any level of abuse. Plus, I prefer men that smell good and behave as decent men. And African men do not have it for me. It's almost akin to dating a Pookie or Ray Ray from the hood. smh It's for some sisters, but not for me.
The guy literally said he doesn't date Black American woman. So what's the big deal.
CHANGE FROM UR MENTAL SLAVERY
Conservative, family oriented, well educated and traditional
Is equal to
Pookie and Ray ray from the hood? ??🤣😂
I love how your men abuse y'all, demean y'all , elevate other women over yall and leave tall as baby mamas . AKatas are damaged goods most people don't want to mingle with.
@@plantiron coming from a illegal immigrant from a 3rd world country 😂 let’s not get started on how you African males treat your own women so bad you have the biggest skin *bleaching* epidemic in the world from praising white women over your own 🤦🏾♀️ knock it off and go shower because all the African men I’ve came across are extremely musty but then again it’s not like y’all have showers in huts so I understand your not used to it here in America.
@@plantiron
Black Americans are not interested in Africans!
Period
No disrespect … we just aren’t!
And since many Africans are not interested in black Americans… there is no problem!
Right 🤷🏽♀️
I can wait to leave this planet... naturally of course! but damn this planet suck apart from the beauty of nature.
He said drill rap like that's our culture lol Africans never can be honest that's something I noticed about their nature
dawg shouldve told him get up out the chair why do we tolerate disrespect in our faces an continue to let these people feel comfortable around us an say whatever?
So not wanting to date AA women is disrespect??
@@mr.mister1698 nigerian people come from failed countries
Im not upset at his comments we know what ethnic group of women/men are the most influential/imitated.
The problem is when we have some of our own look outside their culture an ethnic group for acceptance by foreigners in our own country? Were to friendly an inviting an were seeing the result of it everyones hand in our culture build platforms of it hbcu's political organizations the list goes on. America's melting pot is detrimental to the black american ethnic group when it comes to self preserving every other ethnic group has their own country not infiltrated by every group of foreigner. Aswell thats a culture thing being welcoming our parents never taught us about distancing ourselves from other ethnic groups or to self preserve so we stuck with this "Were All Black" mentality when clearly is not reciprocated an looked down upon but when its of convenience.
As you see he tried to tether onto our reparations claim FOH like the brother said your not black end "flat blackness" an stop attaching everybody to our history and struggle
The conversation began with the Nigerian saying he does not date AA women. Notice how the African American man (then later the barber jumps in and checks him too) takes IT the negative inference about AA WOMEN as a PERSONAL ATTACK AGAINST "ALL" AA people ! NOTICE HOW OUR BROTHERS DEFENDS THEIR AA WOMEN!!! You gotta LOVE these MEN ! Imagine what his response would be if he heard how many AA men are disrespecting us online and among their "preferences." Imagine that conversation ! 🤯🤗
This happens quite often, but it is the same AA women who ignore this and run with the narrative that we don't "protect" them. Which for the most part means that we are done running to get killed over something she told us.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying
Ok.. is it just me or does he not know how black folk got to Jamaica?
Exactly and to all the other islands and countries.
@@geeniality4215 Nigerians and African Americans are both of black ethnicity, but they differ culturally. It is common for children of immigrant parents to prefer dating others with similar backgrounds. There is no issue with what he said.
Why even ask that question? Why would another man care who he dates, weird? 😏
Projection.
From the 2000's African-American men have publicly lambasted and dragged the image of their women, their own reflection, through the mud. They've shouted their preference for everything from latinas, habeshas, caribbeans, africans, and white women who purportedly exhibit some combination of femininity, traditional values, real culture, real hair, fitness/health, and exotic beauty that their women lack.
It's just a toxic cesspool of weak, sadistic men and battered women.
Exactly. The question itself was gonna cause problems
Ok
He can't even articulate his opinion well....🤷🏽♀️ we don't want him...childish in my opinion.
Are you serious?????. It's the barber's who can not articulate.
@@slicktheruler1276 right, they are desperately trying to tear Africans down to make themselves feel better. So childish and insecure.
@@musicearthtoheaven8793 I'm already knowing that's weak as fuck. Like how do you ask a man about his preference on the women his like. Then switch the narrative to oh but y'all want to copy out style. That's don't even make since. They why other countries don't like Americans. You got don't niggas with no type of wisdom or the proper education and knowledge.. just listen to all that ignorant. Like how you gone say that this Nigerian not black.??????. But say that you're black..... Nigga you would be a African if was for your ancestors had not been forced over here.
@@musicearthtoheaven8793 it's like a smack to the face of your own ancestors. Only difference between us and Africans is we was born in this bullshit Land and they was born on the motherland.
@@musicearthtoheaven8793 !!!!
We not african and most Africans can tell we are different Africa never heard of millions of Africans getting brought to America no family in Africa heard of that but they sure have stories of them originating somewhere else and was brought to Africa we sleep because we don't know what operation this is and why are immigrants are getting more opportunities than us systematically because this is our land and the system can't take that risk of us excelling
please dont write what you dont know
@@nnadozieiluno3793 I most definitely know what Im talking about
Maybe African American Don't Wanna Date Him & Besides He Don't Look Nothing Like Prince Akeem In The Movie " Coming To America" .... Just Saying
even if they bagg him to date he will refuse and there is why : it's no about the african americans but it's about the toxic feminsm mentality that majority of american female have there is no respect for man value that's why alot of dudes don't date americans girls on general regarding their Ethnicity
I bet he'll get mad if a Black American Woman said she dont date Africans but dated a white man before .a lot of them think like this.
Right. Why would you come among a people you think less of just to diss their women.
That boy is a small boy, his is ignorance
Nigerians and African Americans are both of black ethnicity, but they differ culturally. It is common for children of immigrant parents to prefer dating others with similar backgrounds. There is no issue with what he said.
I can tell alot of y'all in the comments section ain't too smart. Or not hip on Nigerian culture.
They want out rhythm, not our blues . Bottom line🤷🏽♀️
Where you think we get our rhythm and blues comes from?????
@@slicktheruler1276 We created our “OWN” music, food, & culture from scratch! Yes everything comes from Africa but black American culture was founded & created by us!!!!
@@visionary2716 where did soul food come from?
@@visionary2716 what culture we created????
@@visionary2716 yeah because of the African culture. The hell you talmbout. We ain't nothing but Americanized Africans.
🤔🤔🤔🤦🏽♀️😆
This man! I guess I wonder what he would say about me I am half AA and Somali raised in the Middle East
That's different. Its culture...not ethnicity. AFRICAN men are used to feminine blk women from their continent. They see AA women as loud brash masculine Bulldogs with low morals . If it makes u feel better, african men dont allow their women get with AA men either.
@@plantiron
Let's be clear, you not speaking for all african/Nigerian men
@@jero0418 : No I'm not. I'm just giving a general unspoken rule and mode of operation within the Nigerian community. Most African mom or dads want their kids messing romantically with AAs. Is it all? No. Is it most? Hell yeah
@@plantiron
Not sure where you got most from, I'm not aware of any surveys with those figures
I can refer to my personal experience, now I'm in the UK and been since 1965, mixed with all Nigerians tribes have my children in relationship now... There's a few close minded nigerians and through the years those figures are decreasing.
My parent didn't mixed but I was given freedom to choose, and I will give the same respect to my children, not one of my many friends would stop their children from marrying any black woman irrespective of country of birth.
The only prejudice I haven't been able to get over is white women and that's because I know the prejudice my children would face...
@@plantiron Boy bye. African women are loud and masculine….
What happened to the audio!?!
What's wrong with the audio?
@@talentedmrcj the sound is off
@@defrocker0569 idk? I just checked it on two different devices and it's working. Did it cut off at a certain point or something?
@@talentedmrcj I'll check again, but there was no sound from my phone and I'm listening to another video as we speak.
it's working now.
Who cares what this guy says.
The guy getting his haircut does not represent Nigerians in attitude in any way. I'm putting a disclaimer on this guy. My apologies to any African Americans listening to this. We are all of Africa descent.
Whybare you apologizing. The guy said he does not date BA women just like i will say i donnot date ethiopian or somali men even tho we are both afticans
@@africaine4889 He just did not put it out the right way he could have just kept his comments to himself.
@@chimakalu41 they asked him the question, he answered and now they vex? Goh
@@africaine4889 I think he should have said he would consider dating an African American woman. He should have been more diplomatic he was surrounded by African Americans.
@@chimakalu41 it would still be a lie because he does not consider it. We all know how africans just like black americans are very direct. A lot of BA men say that they are not attracted to african women or would never date african women. It fors not hurt me at all.
I find a lot of Nigerian (Africans) and people of Caribbean decent are so arrogant……It’s all about preference………His answer was wack…he should have just said he is not attractive to African American women…
When everyone know black america. Women are toxic
I find alot of y'all making fun of my name and facial features telling me to go back to a place I never been to. So it goes both ways too I'm from Lancaster CA I just look African and both of my name's happen to be African
There were no caribbean people in this discussion. I don't know why people keep combining caribbean people with the arrogance of nigerians.
1) Nigeria is a new nation.
2) Nigeria was named by a White Woman.
3) The Igbo and Yoruba ethnic groups are younger than the Native Black American ethnicity.
yll wish you could speak yoruba.
We do?? Lol
@@talentedmrcj yes. like the dude who lied that he spoke yoruba
@@Malingerer1505 lol he lied? 😂
@@talentedmrcj Yes the african american who claimed he spoke yoruba too. The African didnt lie. He is Yoruba. It is the African American who claimed he went to Egypt. I see a lot of AAs trying to act woke and lying through their teeth all day about places in Africa they never been to.
